The Age of Machines

Chapter 290 Use
Time remaining: 25 minutes.Please escape as soon as possible!

The civet cat looked at the system prompt and had the urge to roll his eyes.They also want to escape, but at least give a hint.Time passed by, and she was so anxious that she didn't move for a moment.Struggling is useless, civet cat deeply feels this powerlessness.Surrounded by the smell of blood, bound by blood chains, it seemed to be taking away their strength. Their heads became heavy at some point, and the civet cat shook them vigorously, forcing themselves to wake up.

"President?" Seeing Beixi lower her head, her long hair slid down to cover her side face, she wondered if Beixi was still awake.Calling out worriedly, Beixi looked up and looked at her in doubt, "What's wrong?"

The civet cat was speechless, it turned out he was still awake.So what exactly is Beixi doing?Sitting and waiting to die is not like her style!

"President, is there a way?"

"No." Shaking his head, Beixi couldn't help yawning. Recently, he didn't take much rest for the competition and leveling. With the blood chain tied, Beixi suddenly felt tired and wanted to sleep.It seems that in addition to trapping people, this thing can also disturb the player's consciousness.

The tiredness on Beixi's face became more and more obvious. The civet cat took the situation into his eyes, thinking that putting the finals at a later stage would give both sides some time to ease up, but seeing Beixi wanting to sleep but resisting sleep, the civet cat chuckled lightly. Hey, the chairman is also very cute.

"President, now is not the time to sleep."

Bei Xi frowned, she was too tired, and she couldn't control it herself.Blood chains trapped the whole body, only the palm can move.Beixi endured the drowsiness, "Civet cat, can you understand Wuwen?"

The civet cat nodded, "I learned it on purpose when I was in Lengel." After replying, the civet cat came to his senses.Looking down at the blood flowing around Mary below, there are countless runes looming.

"Did you find out, uh... I just found one in the shape of a snake, which is in the second blood chain on the left. The rest are..." The voice gradually became weaker, and finally turned into a murmur.The civet cat was surprised, seeing that Beixi's eyes had been closed tightly, and she had already fallen into a deep sleep with the power drawn.

The civet cat pursed its lips, now it's all right, it can only be found by itself.The runes pieced together this magic circle that made the blood aggressive.In the witchcraft of monsters, snakes are extremely important.There are also five similar runes [keel bone shape], [spider], [fox], [bat], and [lizard].As long as they are found and destroyed, the magic circle will be invalid and they can be rescued.

The civet cat took a deep breath and destroyed the snake-shaped rune first!The blood chain has self-awareness, and when the player's whole body relaxes, it will loosen a lot.As long as you can free your arm, then everything is easy to say!The civet cat tried to relax, and the blood chain also loosened, just like breathing, inhaling and inhaling, wriggling rhythmically.

The moment it loosened, the civet cat withdrew its hand, and the blood chain wrapped around the arm extremely quickly in a second, failing. "Slow!" The civet cat smiled wryly, the consciousness of this blood chain is very strong, the cold and smooth touch, touching the skin, made the civet cat shudder, and its limbs were bound for a long time, a little stiff.It is normal to move too slowly and fail.

But Tanuki did not give up and tried again, because the wrist guard on her arm hindered her escape plan, she had no choice but to adjust her posture and tried a few more times.20 minutes left!

After several struggles, his wrists were also rubbed red.The right wrist finally broke free from the shackles, Tanuki exhaled, and the left hand came next!The moment the blood chain breathed, the civet cat pulled his right wrist violently, and his left hand came out safely.Not wanting the blood chain to bounce back, she tied it tightly, and the civet cat snorted, and the blood chain around her neck almost suffocated her in just a moment.Fortunately, this situation only lasted 2 seconds, the civet cat remained still, the blood chain was slowly loosened, and she also panted heavily.With both wrists free, you can also hold weapons!

Although you can't use power, as long as you can shoot the bow and arrow, you can win if you hit the rune!Because this thing should be made by Mary herself, she is in a half-life state, and the power provided for the rune is insufficient, so the rune is only faintly visible.Such runes are generally very fragile, and can be broken by ordinary attacks!

The observation power of the archer is the highest in the game profession.They have astonishingly keen eyesight like eagle eyes, and within a hundred meters, every move of any prey cannot escape their observation.

He took out his bow and arrow and held it in both hands.It was only 20 meters away from the blood pool below, which was too close for an archer to shoot a powerful arrow without pulling the bow hard.

The moment he held the bow, Blood Chain sensed the danger and increased his strength.With such a sense of self-protection, the civet cat's attack is also threatened and may miss it!

Therefore, the civet cat must determine the hidden position of the rune, and hit it with one hit.She doesn't have much time for a second, third attack!
The runes will move, but the range will not be too large.The second blood chain on the left... Sweeping his eyes, the moment the rune glowed, the civet cat gathered his mental strength, "It's you!" Pulling the bow and releasing the arrow, in less than a second, it was like lightning, and it came out in an instant.The bow and arrow hit the rune accurately and shattered instantly.At the same time, the blood chain that trapped her tightened, and then the blood chain where the rune was located below broke, and the chains on their legs also disappeared.

The civet cat's eyes rolled. There are at least a dozen or more than a hundred runes in a magic circle.In the vast blood, the runes sometimes disappear and sometimes appear, and their positions will also change.This created a big problem for civet cats!
Time waits for no one, and another 5 minutes passed in a blink of an eye.Apart from finding [Fox] and [Bat], the raccoon has no clue.It's as if the avatar is about to explode, it's very uncomfortable. [Keel bone shape] is the center that maintains the entire magic circle. If you can find it, you can at least break free from your upper body.

"Ah, it's [Spider] and [Lizard]." Suddenly, two familiar-shaped runes flashed in the blood.The civet cat exclaimed, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.Holding the bow and arrow, he paused and waited patiently.Until 1 minute later, it appeared again, and the civet cat shot a bow and arrow with quick eyes and hands.The fiery red bow and arrow pierced through the protection of the blood, directly crushing the two compact runes.

One arrow pierces two!
There was no time to be happy, the blood chain on her upper body was completely broken, and she felt dizzy, the civet cat thought she was going to fall, the dizziness disappeared quickly, opened her eyes, and found that the only blood chain around her waist was wrapped around her, she and the president were hanging upside down on the Mid-air, wobbly, very dangerous!
"NO!" The civet cat was about to collapse.In this case, how to find the last rune in the blood?And it was wobbly, and the accuracy dropped by a few percentage points.

Beixi's head gradually cleared up, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself hanging upside down in the air. His body was very disturbed, but his heart was completely calm.The civet cat noticed that she was awake, and said with a wry smile, "You're definitely awake."

"well done."

"I don't want to hear your compliments now! Find a way, President!"

5 minutes left. Within 5 minutes, they couldn't escape and killed Mary, the mission failed, and their attributes had to drop!Beixi doesn't care anymore, and he can't let his attributes be deducted by 3% at this critical moment.Otherwise, the match between her and Jiu Jiu would be impossible.

He took out his Ge Zhan and held both guns in his hands.Seeing Beixi like this, the civet cat said, "The keel is hard to find." Because the runes are drawn too thinly and are similar to some runes, they don't have obvious characteristics like [Fox].

Of course Bei Xi knew it would be hard to find, "I didn't intend to find it." Hearing this, a question mark appeared on the civet cat's head?

Most of the blood chains were removed, and the strength gradually returned.Although mechanical beasts cannot be summoned yet, Beixi can use weapons to attack. "Smash them all!"

The civet cat was terrified, and Beixi wasn't afraid to touch other runes to cause a big explosion?If the magic circle is not lifted properly, the player will be backlashed by the power and may die.At this time, the president is not joking, is he?

The light gathered at the muzzles of the Beixi double guns has already made the civet cat want to cry.

"Don't show such an ugly expression, I lied to you!" Beixi was in a good mood, and as soon as he finished speaking, two beams of light shot out, piercing a blood chain, passing through the corner of the wriggling blood chain. The rune escaped from the blood chain, and another beam of light passed through it very quickly, and it was instantly shattered into ashes.

The ground swayed, the blood chain at the waist shattered, and Beixi flipped in the air. Mary opened her eyes suddenly below, and the mechanical glove emerged. The magic circle stood at the front of the glove. Following the fall of Beixi, it hit the ground. The blood chain was completely shattered, turned into blood and scattered, dust drifted away, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

The civet cat landed safely, and then used both hands to draw a bow and arrow. The arrows were condensed, and the arrows were burning with flames.

Ding, [Mary breaks free from the bondage of the seal, please hurry up and pursue her! 】

After receiving the system prompt, the civet cat was dumbfounded.

When the scene became clear, the civet cat took a deep breath as it saw a one-meter-long pit on the ground.In the empty pit, there was no sign of Mary at all.

"What about people?"

Beixi jumped out of the deep pit and said casually, "I escaped."

"No. She's not..." After a pause, the civet cat suddenly realized, and said, "We have been used." From the beginning to the end, Mary attracted them and led the blood chain to bind them.Her purpose is just to use the hands of Beixi and Tanuki to destroy the magic circle.This magic circle is the wizard's seal, and [Groom] is the guardian monster.The power of the seal gathered on [Groom], it should be because they swiped [Groom] to the number of trigger tasks, the seal power weakened, and Mary's soul could escape, appearing in front of the two of them, and gave a wrong reminder.

The NPC will induce the player by itself, and the system only sets the story background of the character of the NPC and connected tasks.To complete the task, players have to think for themselves.

"Too cunning!" Originally thought that as long as she escaped from the blood chain, destroying the magic circle would prevent Mary from being resurrected.Unexpectedly, the result was the opposite. Instead of dying, she escaped.The two of them let go!

[Ding, Mary escaped from the [Ghost Realm].Her ultimate goal is revenge, but she has been trapped for too long and her strength is weak, so she needs to acquire powerful strength to complete her revenge.Dark monsters can only be reborn by devouring darkness.You must stop her, the dark age is approaching! 】

Beixi looked at the system's news and was thoughtful.Does this indicate that the dark age is coming?

Ding, you get the [Eye of Darkness] status, Mary will kill you within three days, please be careful at all times.

Beixi had an embarrassing expression, Mary has taken a fancy to me?

"President..." the civet cat looked at Beixi and called softly.Bei Xi looked back at her, "What are you doing?"

"neck…"

Beixi touched his neck subconsciously, feeling the scalding heat with his fingertips, and slowly sketched the pattern. Even if the civet cat didn't open his mouth, Beixi knew that it was a mark of darkness.

The sacrificial human beings remembered by monsters will be marked with this mark.Cursed!
"She's taken a fancy to me." Beixi suddenly thought that Mary had said before that her own dark power was very strong.The dark power in the human heart is a great tonic for monsters.

The civet cat laughed loudly, "I fell in love with you, so I want to take your body away! Mary is so perverted!"

"[Avenger Mary]." Bei Xi muttered to himself, feeling as if he had come across this task before.It could be a quest that touches Mary, or it could be a quest that mentions Mary.But I can't remember~
The civet cat opened the mission, and the two let Mary go, and the mission content changed.The penalty for attribute drop did not exist in the first place.It's three days now, kill Mary, otherwise the dark mark on Beixi's body will be successfully cursed, and the president of the mechanical age will have to stay in the dark empire for a while.

"We have to go back and find out who [Muslim] is!" Beixi said, touching his neck.The civet cats naturally agreed, and they couldn't find Mary without tracking clues.It's better to wait for her to deliver it to the door herself!
Back in the mechanical age, Fan Fan waited in the conference room for a long time, and saw Beixi and the civet cat slowly walk into the room, galloped to Beixi, pulled off her collar, and a scarlet eye was covered with dense tattoos of demon characters. When she came into sight, the fan tugged at her collar and yelled. "Why are you so careless, damn it."

"Curse of darkness, many players in Karans have this thing on them recently." Every day, they came over and observed carefully.

Beixi pulled back his collar and slowly covered it. "What's the big deal, it's fine if the task is not finished."

"President, what is the mission?"

"[Avenger Mary]! Do you have any impressions, you guys?" Beixi looked at the legend team.Several people look at me and I look at you, but I have never heard of it.

"It's related to [Muslims]." Everyone looked at Ning Que who spoke. "God, you know?"

"There was a [Looking for Muslims] task in the prestige task of the imperial capital before, and [Mary] was mentioned in it."

"Who are Muslims?"

"Muslim. Madras. Karans' most famous Earl of Thorns!"

Having said that, Beixi has some memories.

"The Earl of Thorns? I remember he disappeared a month ago! A few days after the quest was announced, no players found him, and then the imperial capital canceled the quest." Eve suddenly realized, and then said: "I didn't expect it to be related to monsters."

"This Mary NPC has taken a fancy to you, right? Generally, the larger the pattern of the curse, the stronger the power of the curse. If you can't complete the task within three days, are you planning to go to the Dark Empire to dominate in advance?" Ning Que joked.

Beixi blinked and said with a smile, "That's a good idea!"
