Comprehensive Network: The Journey of the Lord of War

Chapter 43 The Penitent Spirit and the Chamber of Secrets
Dividing troops is a big taboo in adventure. In countless film and television literature, there will always be fools who know there is danger, but still go their own way and break away from the large army, and then die in despair when encountering danger.

The reason why such plots are not uncommon is probably to promote the development of the story with the stupidity of the extras.

But Qin Zheng and the others did not intend to show their stupidity, so they acted together after entering this magnificent villa.

The thick-skinned General Xing took the lead and opened the way ahead, Qin Zheng and the female mage were guarded in the center, the demon hunter was at the end, and Goblin Slayer was wandering between the ranks, ready to support.

Sir Sunak is worthy of being a big dog in the local area. His manor is built tall and luxurious, and the rooms and aisles are also very spacious. Even five people can walk freely side by side.

After entering the villa, several people searched carefully on the first floor, but found nothing except a dozen catties of jewellery, dozens of women's stockings and underwear, a dozen magazines with colorful covers, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that due to the absence of human beings in the manor for a long time, the food stored in the kitchen has rotted and deteriorated. The moment General Xing opened the kitchen door without knowing it, an indescribable stench hit his nostrils.

The smell is like the smell of sweaty feet that have been marinated in airtight shoes for several days in the summer, or like the smell of rotten eggs that have been left for three or four days and then soaked in an open-air dry toilet. With Qin Zheng's sense of smell.

Even a gas mask couldn't withstand such a terrifying biochemical attack, and even the usually calm demon hunter's face changed drastically, and he took a few steps back.

"Yuck~"

Qin Zheng couldn't stand it any longer, nausea surged up crazily, and after a while of retching, tears almost came out.

"My mother!"

General Xing snapped, and quickly closed the door again.

But the stench didn't dissipate easily. Qin Zheng looked at the innocent Magical Girl and Goblin Slayer with tears in his eyes, as if asking, why are you all right?

The female mage sighed, the magic fluorescent light flickered, and Qin Zheng suddenly found that the smell in his nose dissipated.

"You can take off that mask now, my magic lasts for two hours."

Hearing this, Qin Zheng took off the gas mask that he hadn't taken off after entering the secret realm, and at the same time sighed in his heart, magic is really easy to use.

Although I can't do it, but if I have the chance, I must recruit a lady mage!The war lord silently swore.

As for why it is a young lady, this needs to be explained?
After the little episode, the whole journey was safe and sound. I searched from the first floor to the second floor without missing anything, and finally found a discovery when I arrived at a study.

The witcher with keen senses noticed something unusual. On the inner wall of a bookcase in the study room, there were slight marks from the friction of the smoothbore.

After cleaning up the bookcase full of books, the witcher pulled out the steel sword and inserted it into the gap in the bookcase, twisted his wrist, and cut off the pin behind it, and then he pried the inner wall of the bookcase to one side, revealing the A passage sloping downwards.

"The secret door in the study, tsk, it's either hiding treasure or hiding monsters."

Goblin Slayer was amazed. If it wasn't for the demon hunters, they really wouldn't have discovered such a hidden secret door.

"careful!"

Just when several people were delighted because they discovered Sir Sunak's secret, the demon hunter suddenly shouted, and in a split second, he pulled out a long silver sword and placed it behind the female mage, making the sign of the Quen Seal in his hand. gesture.

"Boom~"

There was a low collision sound, it was the sound of sharp claws and Kunn's seal striking each other.

After the attack, this long-hidden Wraith also appeared in front of everyone.

It has a skinny skeleton resembling a human, carrying a shiny green lantern, its face is covered with wrinkled corpses, and its lower body is covered with a maroon red dress that looks as dry as a day's blood.

His figure was floating in the air, his faint eyes stared at the people who broke into the mansion, silently carrying murderous intent.

"Repentance spirit?!"

The demon hunter called out its name, with an unconcealable shock in his tone.

This is an extremely dangerous and rare demon spirit. It is a kind of earth-bound spirit, and it usually only entangles sinners who have done bad things.

The penitent spirit's movements are very sensitive, and it will move to the back of the enemy in the blink of an eye and attack from behind. The suddenness of its attack often makes the enemy hard to guard against.

To deal with the repentant spirit, one had to keep moving so as not to be hit by it.

More importantly, this kind of demon spirit is completely immune to physical and fire damage, and only a silver sword coated with evil spirit oil can cause effective damage to them.

But the repentant spirit cannot be destroyed by this method. Even if it takes a lot of hard work to break up its body, it will be reborn instantly on the spot.

The key to dealing with them is to find out what's keeping the Penitent in place, and cut the link between them immediately.

Thinking of this, the demon hunter moved, and while avoiding the second backstab of the repentant spirit, he shouted, "I'm entangled with it, and its possession is definitely in the secret room, you guys go in and cut off contact!"

When Qin Zheng heard the demon hunter's exclamation, he recalled the information about the spirit of repentance, so Qin Zheng, who knew that he couldn't help much, didn't have the slightest pretense, and led General Xing directly into the secret door.

The female mage and the warrior looked at each other. They didn't know the situation of the repentant spirit, but their rich dungeon experience told them how to choose.

"Go ahead, I'll help."

Goblin Slayer spoke concisely, brandishing two knives in his hands, and went up to meet him.

The female mage threw a few spells, "The Elegance of a Cat", "The Toughness of a Bear", and "The Power of a Bull" three consecutive spells directly on Goblin Killer, turned around and left.

The passage behind the secret door is quite narrow, and it can barely accommodate two people walking side by side.

Walking through a descending staircase, at the end was a solid iron door that was dark red like blood. The iron door was ajar. Qin Zheng kicked the door open without the slightest hesitation.

The door opened, and the scene that came into view made Qin Zheng stay at the door, his pupils trembling.

The wall lamp on the wall was burning with bone-like gray lights, and the black-like floor was covered with polished human bones, arranged like deer heads and antlers.

Qin Zheng's eyes widened, he raised his head in silence, and looked at the wall.

On the white walls hung sheets of processed human skins, on which were painted a strange monster image, it was a terrifying light gray giant tree with tentacles instead of branches and roots and leaves , there is a giant eye on the crown of the tree, the eyes drawn with blood-colored ink are lifelike.

On one side of the room, there are many bottles and cans, which are carefully distributed up and down the wall, occupying the entire wall space.

The jar was filled with a waxy yellow unknown liquid, in which human tissues such as eyeballs, heart, and liver were sinking and floating.

On the other side, there is a desk full of books, with drafts and open books scattered on the table.

On the floor in the center is engraved a circular pattern of an inverted pentagram. The exquisite but weird human bone deer head is placed in the center. The empty eye sockets are facing the door, as if staring into the room. of visitors.

The pale flames made this room extraordinarily gloomy. The twisted scroll of human skin, the blood-red human tissue, the delicate and cumbersome pattern of inverted pentagrams, and the bones piled up on the ground all together outline a dark picture that shocks the eyeballs. .

"Fuck..."

Qin Zheng was shocked and muttered to himself.
