  Chapter 204 Entering the City (The Internet has finally been repaired)

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, that wretched guy's expression changed slightly.

   "Yes, but..."

   "I said, open the door."

   "Okay, okay."

  Maybe feeling the sense of terror and deterrence coming from Duanmuhuai, the man swallowed his saliva and nodded.

   "I respect your choice. If you want to enter through the main entrance, I will yell to open the door. But think again, is this okay? I advise you to..."

  However, before the guard finished speaking, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

   "I said... open the door!"

   "Okay, okay, I understand... If a person wants to die, no one can hold him back..."

   Having said this, the guard took a deep breath, and then shouted.

   "Open the door! Open the door!"

   "Boom, boom, boom..."

  As the doorman's voice fell, there was a roar outside. Duanmuhuai gave the doorman a cold look, then threw him aside casually, turned around and strode out. At this time, the city gate that was originally closed by the iron fence had been completely opened, and looking into the city, Duanmuhuai quickly saw the crossbow arrow fort on the high platform in front of it, and the soldiers standing behind the fort.

"snort!"

   This time, Duanmuhuai never ignored them like before. He snorted coldly, grabbed his hammer and rushed into the gate of the castle with great strides, galloping straight forward!

   "Bang bang bang!"

   Soon, a series of crossbow arrows flew over and hit Duanmu Huai's power armor, but also did not cause any damage to Duanmu Huai. He jumped up, held up the war hammer shining with thunder in his hand, and smashed down hard!

   "Boom!!"

  Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed, and the roaring lightning exploded in all directions, burning all the soldiers controlling the ballista to ashes.

  At this moment, the soldiers behind the front barrier also raised their weapons and attacked Duanmuhuai. One after another crossbow bolts were fired from their hands, but they also did not cause any damage to Duanmuhuai. On the contrary, he rushed forward to meet the opponent's shooting, and then swung the warhammer in his hand, smashing all the fences and barriers in front of him into pieces in an instant, as for the soldiers hiding behind the barriers. Under the impact of the violent airflow, he screamed and flew upside down, without any movement.

"Roar---!"

However, all this is not over yet, at the same time, from the woods on the left of Duanmuhuai, accompanied by the roar of wild beasts, a huge, lion-like monster rushed from behind Duanmuhuai's side Coming over, it had a sharp blade tied to its right front paw, and rushed towards Duanmu Huai like a storm, then opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit down on Duanmu Huai.

   "Looking for death!"

However, at the same time, Duanmu Huai also turned around, he shouted loudly, stretched out the Thunder Hammer in his hand, and stuffed it directly into the monster's mouth, then Duanmu Huai clenched the long handle of the Thunder Hammer, Gao lifted it up, and then smashed it to the ground hard!

   "Boom!"

The lion whose mouth was stuck also fell to the ground with this blow, and then Duanmuhuai strode forward and stepped on the lion's head. With a soft "crack", the lion's head suddenly It was trampled into pieces by Duanmuhuai, and its body trembled suddenly, and then it turned into ashes like other corpses and disappeared into the air.

   "Papa papa..."

   At this moment, a series of applause sounded from behind Duanmu Huai.

   "It's amazing. I've seen countless fighters, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you."

  Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a suspicious man wearing a long wide-brimmed hat that almost completely covered his face, standing behind him.

"Who are you?"

   "Ah, hello, brave and mighty warrior."

  The man smiled and saluted Duanmuhuai.

"I am Roger, a magician. I came to this city because I wanted to find something... By the way, why did you come to Stonewell? You must know that people in this city are hunting Discolored ones, use them as a sacrifice for 'attaching limbs'. Normally, no one should take the initiative to approach..."

   "Do you know how to get into that tower?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the magician named Roger, and then pointed to the tall tower next to it—that was exactly where they landed before, and it was here that they violated some kind of "prohibition" that led to a group of People scattered.

  Therefore, Duanmu Huai also wanted to know, how to enter that tower is the correct choice.

   "The tower..."

  Following Duanmuhuai's hand, Roger looked at the tower, and then showed a suddenly realized expression.

   "It turns out that you came to challenge Gregor in order to obtain the Great Rune... so you can see the guidance of the blessing?"

   "I don't quite know what you're talking about."

   Duanmuhuai shook his head.

   "In short, if I want to go to that tower, what should I do?"

   "You have to defeat and kill the city lord Greg, and get his big rune, and then you can get its power in the Tower of God's Grant... However, the Faded One, who hasn't been blessed for a long time, appeared."

   "To be honest, this is the first time I have come to this land...um..."

   Duanmuhuai thought for a while, then looked at Roger.

   "Are you familiar with this place?"

   "It's fairly familiar, after all, I've been here before."

   "So, I want to make a deal with you."

"oh?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's proposal, Roger raised his head and stared at him curiously.

   "What deal?"

   "I'm also looking for something in this city, but I'm not familiar with it."

   Duanmu Huai looked at Roger and said.

   "And as you can see, this city is very dangerous now, how about this, I can help you, and you only need to answer a few questions from me."

"Um…………"

  Hearing what Duanmuhuai said, Roger thought for a moment, then nodded.

   "Indeed, from the battle just now, it can be seen that you are a powerful fighter. If I have your protection, then I will be more convenient... But, what do you want to know?"

   "First of all, what exactly is a limb?"

   Duanmu Huai looked at Roger and asked this question that had always puzzled him. Although he had heard the little red riding hood outside the city about how to do the limb grafting, he still didn't understand what was the use of doing so.

   Could it be that there are biochemical madmen in the city?

   "This starts with the owner of this castle, 'Golden' Greg."

   Speaking of this name, Roger also sighed rarely.

"I think you should also know that this land was once ruled by the golden law, but after that night of nightmarish conspiracy, the golden law was broken, the Broken War broke out, and all the demigod heirs held the fragments of the law, Trying to restore the law of gold and recast the glory of the golden family. Greg is one of them... However, his own strength is too weak. He dared not go out in the city of Stonewell, was defeated by the Valkyrie, and even knelt down in front of her, begging for mercy."

   "Oh... looks really weak."

Although Duanmuhuai still doesn't know what happened to these things, but just because he fled among the women, and behaved like a turtle, and after being defeated by the Valkyrie, he knelt down and begged for mercy, Duanmuhuai counted him out To the range of "weak chicken".

   "Of course, Greg didn't stop there. He tried every means to increase his own strength, and the method he came up with was... Limb grafting, that is, attaching other people's arms to himself."

"…………Aha???"

  Hearing this, Duanmuhuai was stunned.

   "Why?"

  The way to increase strength is to attach other people's arms to yourself? Do you think this is receiving Avalokitesvara? After connecting a thousand arms, one becomes a Buddha, right?

   "Only Greg himself knows this."

   Roger shook his head.

"In short, after that, Grek sent out teams to capture the faded people, brought them here, cut off their arms and grafted them, and not only that, he also took the leftovers of the faded people. The body is sewn together to create a monster called a grafted noble..."

  “………”

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned, and he recalled what Little Red Riding Hood said again.

   "The people who came to the border with me and fought for me have their heads, feet and hands cut off and become part of the spider..."

  Looking now, he seemed to have guessed what was going on.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"certainly."

  Hearing Roger's question, Duanmuhuai nodded.

   "You said that Greg would graft all the limbs of the captured people, and then sew the rest into monsters, right? Then... where is that place?"

  “………”

   Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Roger was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand to point to the small door behind Duanmuhuai.

   "Through that small door, you will arrive at the Limb-grafting Hall... But I must warn you that the place... is more terrifying than you can imagine."

   "I don't think so."

   Duan Muhuai nodded to Roger, joking, how can I say that I have seen the big world, this kind of trick just wants to scare myself? impossible.

   "Thank you for your guidance, then I will go back."

   After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and strode towards the small door. And Roger looked at Duanmuhuai's back, shook his head, then sat on the spot, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

  According to Roger's instructions, Duanmu Huai walked into the small door, then continued to move forward, and then he came to a hall.

   This looks like a large restaurant. Judging from the tables placed around it, it should have been the place where knights in the city ate.

once.

  The reason why I say this is because the hall has completely changed into a different look.

  Countless severed hands and feet hang high on the scales on both sides of the hall, and on the floor, you can see piles of corpses wrapped in cloth that look like chrysalis. They piled up there layer upon layer, casting shadows under the dim firelight.

   "Did you know that after being attached to a spider, a person will grow like a chrysalis? It's really amazing, isn't it?"

I see.

   Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes, he almost understood what the little red riding hood lady saw.

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked towards the center of the restaurant.

  Under the dim light, a huge piece of meat is wriggling. If you look carefully, you will find that it is a rather weird thing.

Its back is covered with a black cloak, surrounded by dozens of slender hands and feet holding sharp knives and shields, at first glance it looks like a huge crab with several pairs of legs, and in the The abdomen of this "crab" is densely covered with a human head.

   So that’s the case. Is this the monster that Roger said was sewn out of the remaining body of the victim, called the Noble Limb?

   Having said that, how does this thing look like an aristocrat?

   "—————!!"

At this moment, the monster had already discovered the existence of Duanmuhuai. It roared and crawled towards Duanmuhuai at a speed as sensitive as a spider. The monster rushed over, and he held the hammer tightly with both hands, raised it high, and then fell heavily.

"boom!"

  The limb-grabbing nobleman who just ran in front of Duanmuhuai was directly smashed to the ground by this blow, and then Duanmuhuai raised the hammer again and swung it down again.

"boom!"

The limb-attached nobleman started to fight back frantically. It waved a long arm that was several times longer than ordinary people. It looked like a long arm that grew out of two or three arms connected together. Cut, unfortunately, its struggle is as powerless as a mouse facing a dinosaur.

"boom!!"

  Accompanied by the third roar of the thunder hammer, the huge impact completely penetrated the body of the limb-grabbing nobleman, and it also twitched, and then collapsed to the ground, turning into a tragic corpse.

   "Be good and rest."

  Duanmuhuai took back the thunder hammer, looked at the corpse of the limb-grabbing nobleman and said, then he raised his head again, looking at the hall in front of him with a sad face.

   "But then again...how do I find this?"

   Judging from the present, those friends of Little Red Riding Hood are probably dead long ago without a place to bury them. What should I do?

  Could it be impossible to just pick up two stones and go back?

   "Woo——!"

   At this moment, suddenly, a purple soul jellyfish quietly appeared beside Duanmu Huai. It stretched out its tentacles, patted Duanmu Huai's shoulder, and then swam forward.

   "You mean to go with you?"

  Seeing this scene, Duanmuhuai's eyes suddenly lit up. He still remembered that Little Red Riding Hood said that this soul jellyfish had been with her for a long time. He didn't know it, but this soul jellyfish...maybe!

   "Woo!"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the soul jellyfish nodded, and then floated forward again, and Duanmuhuai followed behind it without hesitation, and walked into the depths of the limb-grafting hall.
