Chapter 185 The holy light spreads the taboo! Lucia! I didn't mean it!
[Kill vampires*3, contribution value +150! 】
“…”
Su Xuan stared at the increase in contribution value that jumped out of his sight, and pondered for a moment.
Although the demons in the castle are individually powerful, their numbers are far less than those in other demon caves. It seems that in order to obtain more contribution points, demons above level 50 must be eliminated.
"Keep going!"
Everyone continued to move forward, preparing to go through the long corridor to other areas. And just when they were about to reach the end of the corridor...
"Wait! There's something going on!"
Suddenly! Everyone stopped.
I saw the corpses of a group of adventurers appearing in the middle of the road at the end of the corridor, lying quietly on the floor.
"Is this an area that other teams have fought in?" Shen Jun scratched his head and guessed in confusion.
"Probably not, the corpses of these adventurers do not belong to the same team." Su Xuan categorically denied, he was sure that the corpses of these adventurers did not come from the same team.
They belong to different teams, but the strange thing is that these corpses are all gathered here.
"Wait, this adventurer seems to be from the Lu Bo Guild?" Suddenly, Shen Shenqi pointed to an orc with cat ears in the pile of corpses and said in surprise.
“Damn it! Lu Bo won’t be in trouble, right?”
Jun Shen's face instantly darkened. Lu Bo's player evaluation was C-level, and there was a magician above level 50 in the guild.
In addition, the two players traveling with Lu Bo are both C+ level guilds, and there are also two adventurers above level 50 in their team.
If something unexpected happened to them...
"This adventurer seems to have been trapped and unfortunately died."
Su Xuan carefully examined the cat-eared adventurer body and found multiple wounds pierced by sharp thorns. Such wounds are usually caused by falling into traps such as spike traps.
The corpses of other adventurers also showed similar wounds, and they all apparently died in traps.
However, what is puzzling is why their bodies were transported here together...
Su Xuan’s thoughts have not yet been sorted out, and the wall in front of him suddenly opens, like a picture With a bloody mouth, several more corpses were spit out.
"Holy shit! Why did the wall spit out corpses?" Shen Jun exclaimed, looking at the corpse of the adventurer rolling down at his feet with a look of astonishment on his face.
Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on the wall where the body was spitting out, and their expressions became extremely solemn. I can't help but wonder, is this castle alive?
"The castle is not a living thing, but a means used by the owner of the castle to clean up the garbage inside."
At this time, the magician Kelly Lin explained to everyone: "Obviously, this castle The owner couldn't tolerate the corpses scattered all over the house, so he gathered them here. The six vampires in the corridor were probably working as cleaners or chefs in the castle."
"That's it. ." Shen Jun scratched the back of his head and had a new understanding of the scene just now.
"Do you know much about vampires?" Su Xuan asked Kellyn curiously.
“It’s not an understanding.” Kaililin shook her head and explained, “But there is a member of our guild who is a vampire, and she has some understanding of some habits of vampire nobles.”
"Oh~"
Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully. It turned out that there was a vampire in the Fairy Concubine Guild, which was quite rare.
"Let's move on and let the remains of these adventurers rest here."
As Guren said, he lit a flame in his palm and ignited the pile of corpses.
Everyone continued to move forward. Since they already knew that the castle was full of traps, they became more cautious.
After traveling through several areas and successfully killing a dozen vampire slaves lurking in the darkness, they came to a strange room.
This room is filled with bookshelves, but the strange thing is that there are no books on the shelves, but heads.
This strange scene made everyone's expressions change suddenly, and they could not understand the true purpose of this room.
At this moment, Su Xuan's eyes were attracted by a withered corpse.
It was a female corpse. The blood had been completely drained from the body, showing a shriveled state, lying quietly on the rocking chair. In her hand, she held tightly a square box with an eye-catching emerald green gem inlaid on the box.
Su Xuan tried to obtain information about the body and the box, but question marks appeared in front of him without any clues.
"Su Xuan, look! There is a treasure box there!"
Suddenly, Shen Jun's shout attracted everyone's attention.
On the right side of the corpse, a golden treasure box is emitting an alluring light.
“This is obviously a trap!”
Shen Shenqi glared at her cousin, feeling that he was too unreliable.
“Something’s not quite right here, it’s better to be careful.” Su Xuan said to everyone warily.
His eyes wandered around, looking around the room, looking for any possible passage, because this area was the only place they could move forward at the moment. They had fully explored the area they passed through, but had found no other way.
"Is it there?"
Su Xuan's eyes fell on the wall behind the female corpse. There seemed to be a hidden doorway. Although it was not easy to detect, there were signs indicating its existence.
But one thing is certain, there must be some kind of trap around the female corpse. To reach the area ahead, they must first disarm the trap hidden near the female corpse.
"We must find the trap hidden near the female corpse before we can move forward." Su Xuan reminded Shen Shenqi and the others.
"Is it a trap? How about I destroy the trap directly with flames?" Honglian suggested.
"There is no need to do this. Let my adventurers solve the problem of traps." Shen Shenqi said, pushing a female dwarf forward, and added, "Brooke is An expert in traps among the dwarves, she has the ability to disarm these traps."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Brooke responded confidently.
Then, the dwarf took out a set of special demolition tools from his backpack and carefully walked towards the female corpse.
After her skillful operation, the surrounding trap triggering devices were destroyed one by one.
“Huh~ Done!”
The dwarf waved to everyone, indicating that they could come over safely.
Everyone walked into the room with confidence and slowly walked towards the female corpse.
Su Xuan's eyes stayed on Shen Siqi for a while. Obviously, there must be a special reason why the president of the Fairy Concubine Guild invited Shen Qi and Shen Jun, who were rated by D+ players, to participate in the high-risk magic cave activities.
After all, it is indeed too difficult to challenge the highly dangerous Demon Cave with the strength of a D+ level guild. Without the help of Honglian and the others, the Shen brothers and sisters' guild would probably be completely wiped out here by relying on their own strength.
But after he saw the dwarf who could disarm the trap, Su Xuan suddenly realized something...
"Now! The trap has been disarmed, let's see what's in this treasure box Baby!" Shen Shenqi walked up to the shining golden treasure box with anticipation. When she opened the treasure box, the gold coins inside immediately made her smile!
“Wow! It’s dozens of gold coins!”
"Get rich!" The Shen brothers and sisters excitedly took out the gold coins from the treasure box. Dozens of gold coins are not a small amount for anyone!
While they were counting the gold coins happily, Su Xuan's eyes fell on the small box in the arms of the female corpse.
This small box did not seem to emit any fluctuations in magic power, but for some reason, it made Su Xuan feel inexplicably concerned.
Also, this female corpse does not look like a vampire in appearance, but more like a human woman who has been sucked out by a vampire.
At this time, Honglian walked to Su Xuan and said to Su Xuan, "Our president said that this box seems to be the key to unlocking a mission of opportunity."
"A mission of opportunity?"
Su Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Honglian's words.
So far, he has not encountered a mission of opportunity, because missions of opportunity are rarer than hidden missions and can only be encountered by players with high luck values.
It is not a specific task type and does not have a complicated task process. It may be more similar to tasks such as decryption.
But as long as you complete the opportunity mission, you can get generous rewards!
"How do you say it?" The corner of Honglian's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, "Would you like to give it a try? I can help you."
"Then give it a try." Su Xuan decided to give it a try and reached out to the mysterious square box.
The moment he touched the box, a dazzling blue beam of light shot out from the box and enveloped them.
Immediately afterwards, a prompt popped up on the interface in front of Su Xuan:
[Mission of Opportunity—Star Magic Box (triggered), moving location! 】
Before he could finish analyzing this prompt, they were teleported to the mission of opportunity venue by a blue light. Joining him in this strange realm were Ifsa, Lucia and Guren. The reason is that the three of them were standing together with Su Xuan at that time, so they were also shrouded in this mysterious blue light.
"Where is this place?" Honglian looked around, and the scene in front of him seemed like a vast starry sky. Could it be that they had come to the universe?
However, the strange thing is that they are not floating in the endless space. Although there is nothing under their feet, they can clearly feel the existence of the solid ground under their feet, as if they are standing on a transparent On the glass plate.
"Mr. Su Xuan~What does this mission require us to do?" Ifusa turned to Su Xuan curiously and asked.
"Let me see..." Su Xuan looked at the detailed description of the mission intently.
[Star Magic Box: Please find the correct star among thousands of stars! 】
[Riddle prompt: Witch]
[Task reward: A wisp of star power]
[Note: If the puzzle is not solved within 30 minutes, you will be teleported back. in situ. 】
Su Xuan couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at the mission description and the clues.
Is this Star Magic Box somehow related to the Star Kingdom?
Is it a relic left by the Night Witch?
In addition...
Su Xuan's eyes were wandering around, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He needed to follow the clues in the riddle to find the star among countless stars in just thirty minutes. A correct star, which seems to be quite a challenging task.
However, no matter how difficult it is, he still has to face it bravely. Su Xuan immediately told Lucia and others the specific requirements of the mission.
"Looking for the right star among countless stars? How is this possible?" Guren shook her head in confusion. She was better at fighting than solving puzzles.
Lucia began to analyze the key information in the prompt: "Witch..." Her beautiful eyes were staring at the distant starry sky, and her first reaction to the prompt was about the constellations.
But in fact, there is no Witch in the constellation.
"Mr. Su Xuan, I always feel that the stars around me seem to be moving?" Just as Su Xuan was also struggling to find the answer, Ifusa quickly reminded him.
"Move?"
Su Xuan was stunned at first, but soon realized that what Ifusa said seemed to be true!
The stars are really getting closer to them...
No!
Su Xuan then noticed that it was not the starry sky that was approaching, but the glass-like wall that was shrinking and squeezing towards them!
Moreover, judging from the speed, let alone thirty minutes, I am afraid that within three minutes, I will not be able to find a place to stay!
Su Xuan immediately scanned the surroundings, eagerly looking for the correct star.
If the clue to the riddle is related to the witch and involves stars, then there is a high probability that it is closely related to the Night Witch.
After all, in the Kingdom of Stars, Maleficent appears most frequently.
But...
"!!!"
Su Xuan's thoughts have not yet fully unfolded, and the invisible wall has squeezed them so hard that they can hardly move.
Four people were squeezed into a narrow square space, tightly touching each other.
Although the shrinking of space has temporarily stopped, the situation at this time is quite embarrassing. Since Su Xuan originally stood in the center, he was naturally squeezed in and tightly surrounded by Lucia and the others.
And directly in front of him was Lucia. Due to the squeeze of the wall, her white body was pressed tightly against Su Xuan's chest, almost deforming!
"Really!?"
Lucia bit her teeth lightly, with a flash of brilliance in her eyes.
She doesn’t understand why this task has such restrictions? Was this mission originally designed for one person?
"Hahaha! This is really tricky. In such a crowded environment, it may be even harder to solve the puzzle." Honglian smiled and squeezed forward.
This tall female elf is squeezing Su Xuan's left shoulder with her proud white body, almost touching the side of his face. The feeling is really indescribable!
"Mr. Su Xuan, although it's a bit crowded here..." Evesha, who was on the right side of Su Xuan, smiled. That charming smile was heart-warming, "But the strange thing is that this small space makes people's hearts beat faster~ I I like it very much~"
As the words fell, Evesa's heart-shaped tail quietly appeared and gently wrapped around Su Xuan's arm.
[Ifusa’s current desire: 366! 】
“???”
Su Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself: Ifusa, now is not the time for this!
But~Efusha believes that such close contact can make Su Xuan focus more on thinking~
“Huh~”
Suddenly, Efusha came close to his ear, her red lips Open it lightly and exhale like a orchid.
The sweet and charming aura caused the Holy Light's defense to be defeated at that moment, shining brightly, as if urging Su Xuan to step forward and fight for Evesa!
However, this raises a serious problem. Because at this moment, Su Xuan is facing Lucia!
From the beginning of her relationship with Su Xuan, she noticed the holy light hidden in him. Fortunately, the light was not strong, and it only made her feel slightly uncomfortable through her clothes. Now that the situation was urgent, she could barely accept it.
But when she felt the sacred light gradually becoming brighter and hotter, her heart instantly panicked!
Because!
She could clearly feel that the bright light was slowly spreading towards the taboo...
