Chapter 575 [What a Strong Sword]

There are two passages to the basement in the hall, one is the elevator that was later built. Since it has become a copy, there is naturally no elevator.

The other one is a staircase, made of rotating stone strips. When you walk in, you feel the gloomy and humid air coming to your face.

Chen Xiaolian took a tactical flashlight with his left hand and supported Xiuxiu with his right hand. The two walked into the stairs together.

In the dark environment, there was only a beam of light from a flashlight, which looked a bit scary. However, both of them had experienced too many copies and did not take this pediatric atmosphere seriously. Xiuxiu even reached out to touch the wall curiously.

"It's a little wet." The girl shook her hand and wiped Chen Xiaolian's clothes with some disgust. Chen Xiaolian just smiled.

After walking down for a long time, the stairs reached the end, but there was an empty underground nest. The basement was not high. The construction level of hundreds of years ago could not create that kind of too tall space. The pillars looked a little old and the stone chips were mottled. It supported this place that was only about ten meters wide.

On the wall, there is a row of copper pipes, which are obviously equipment used to collect sounds.

Chen Xiaolian walked over and tapped the copper tube a few times, and the copper sound vibrated.

"This sound should be able to reach upstairs."

When I walked forward, I saw a double-open wooden door. The copper door handle was rusted and the cracks in the door were covered with dust. It was obvious that it had not been opened for a long time.

Xiuxiu glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "What will be inside the door?"

Chen Xiaolian smiled, walked over and pushed the door open, and said, "Since it is a legend of vampire, it is probably related to this thing. Maybe it's just a coffin with a thousand-year-old vampire or something."

As he said that, he had already pushed the door open, but at this moment, both of them were stunned.

Inside the door, there was a small room with cold and wet floor tiles on the floor and red velvet wall cloth hanging on the walls - but it was mostly rotten and rusted.

In the center, there was a coffin on a hexagonal stone platform!

That typical, Western, prismatic coffin!

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with a look. Xiuxiu's eyes clearly meant "You actually said it right?"

Chen Xiaolian put away his smile and his face suddenly became serious.

He had quickly pulled Xiuxiu behind him, and at the same time summoned a long sword from his storage watch.

This is an ordinary steel sword, with a very heavy weight. The Western-style knight sword is wide and heavy, and the sword edge is bladed on both sides, which is also very suitable for chopping.

Chen Xiaolian took two steps in his hand with a flashlight and a sword in the other hand with a careful step in, staring at the coffin on the stone platform.

After walking a few steps closer, he couldn't help but say "Huh?"

Xiuxiu had already run two steps forward, stood beside Chen Xiaolian, and pointed to the coffin: "It seems, empty?"

It's empty.

On the stone platform, the coffin lid and the coffin lid had already been lifted aside. The coffin was empty, with only a layer of black rotten velvet.

Apart from that, there seems to be nothing.

Chen Xiaolian squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, pondered for a few seconds, then put away the flashlight, but grabbed a large handful of glow sticks from the storage equipment. He folded his hand and sprinkled it around. In a moment, the house became brighter.

Although the green fluorescent light looks a bit scattered, it is enough to illuminate the room.

"Ah! Look at the cover of the coffin!"

I saw that the coffin lid was crisscrossed with scratches! If it were originally in the dark, it would naturally not be able to see clearly, but at this moment, under the illumination of the fluorescent light, it suddenly became eye-catching. There were about dozens of lines, and the hooks were scratched, which was shocking!

Chen Xiaolian stretched out his finger and traced it a few times, and whispered: "It was made of a sharp instrument, but I'm afraid there are more than one kind of them."

"Little-faced Oppa, look."

Xiuxiu suddenly opened her mouth and pointed.

Chen Xiaolian looked over and squatted down. He saw that there were several long black things on the ground. He approached and looked at them...

"It seems, nails?"

These are obviously all nails, but they are all black, as hard as iron, but as sharp as a knife, but they all seem to be cut off by something. The cuts are neatly arranged.

"There is also a wall." Xiuxiu looked around and said quickly.

In fact, there is no need to remind Xiuxiu, Chen Xiaolian also saw it.

There are all kinds of crisscrossing scratches on the four walls!

Chen Xiaolian walked around the wall, looked for a while, closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds before sighing.

"What a strong sword energy!"

...

Phoenix rushed into a barracks and walked out soon.

There were a few stacked bed frames in the barracks, but they were all empty and the smell of rotten and rags were everywhere.

There are also rusty armor parts in the corners of the wall.

However, in the middle, the largest tent, when Phoenix ran over, saw that there were black traces on the ground in the tent!

The Phoenix could tell at a glance that these were all left after the blood was dried up, and they were so big!

Because the tent was airy on all sides, there was no bloody smell left in the tent. However, when he walked in, the Phoenix only looked at it for a while and his heart began to pound.

There were blood marks on the walls of the camp. Although they were all dried up, you could feel that there was a fierce battle here, and blood splattered everywhere, making the entire camp like a Shura field.

There was almost nothing intact left inside. The table had been chopped up! The broken mouth was flat and smooth. The Phoenix couldn't help but look stern when he reached out and touched it.

The room was filled with blood. With such a blood volume, I don’t know how many people died here. In the end, what puzzled Phoenix the most was that since many people died here, where did the corpse go?

"What a great sword!"

Phoenix felt sweat all over his palms, and subconsciously took out the wand and held it in his hand, as if only in this way could he feel less secure in his heart.

And at this moment...

"System prompt: Because non-player camp participants find 1/5 of the special items for the mission, they will enable the new dungeon area permission. Please go to the new area immediately to find the mission items. The countdown for this dungeon: seconds..."

Phoenix suddenly turned around and looked outside the tent with a gloomy face.

...

Chen Xiaolian looked blankly at the new prompt in his personal system, and then looked at the broken nails that had just been pinched in his hand.

In addition to the prompts for permissions of the new copy area, Chen Xiaolian's nails pinched in his hand also received a separate prompt in the system:

"1/1 body fragment of the vampire ancestor, complete the side mission, and receive reward message: collect 3 fragments and can summon the use of the 'Blood Clan' Blood Sword' once. This prop is a one-time prop, with a power level A-level. It has an additional bonus on the sacred power."

After looking at the countdown that was still stopping, Chen Xiaolian frowned and thought for a while, then bent down and picked up all the broken nails on the ground.

Three nails can be exchanged for "Blood Sword" once. There are nine nails on the ground, which means that they can be exchanged for "Blood Sword" attacks three times. After all, they are A-level things, although they are disposable consumables.

Chen Xiaolian threw six nails and gave them to Xiuxiu, collected three of them himself, and then pulled Xiuxiu away from the basement quickly.

He took Xiuxiu and ran back to the hall on the first floor from the stairs, and saw a figure running in quickly in the direction of the castle gate in the distance.

"Huh? Phoenix?"

Phoenix saw Chen Xiaolian and Xiuxiu from afar, and then took back the attack movements they had made and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've been here all the time?" Phoenix frowned.

"Yes." Chen Xiaolian looked at Fenghuang: "Where are you? Didn't you say you couldn't come in?"

Phoenix hesitated for a moment, but said lightly: "I thought that since I have been here with you, it doesn't matter if I stay at the door - after all, it's just a copy. Just remember that you owe me a big favor, a big favor."

Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Okay, if you don't say it, I understand it too."

After pausing, he frowned and looked around: "Did you see anyone else? There seems to be only Xiuxiu and I in this castle. I have been away for a long time and haven't met anyone else. And... the countdown of the system..."

"The watch has stopped." Phoenix immediately continued: "I also found it, and it seems that there is a bug in the system."

"That's why it's strange." Chen Xiaolian spread his hands: "When did the system have a bug?"

"I don't know, but I think this copy is weird."

The two talked quickly for a few more words, and Fenghuang did not hide it and told her what she saw and heard in the military camp in the open space outside the castle.

"A very strong sword?" Chen Xiaolian's face became strange when he heard this, and then he also talked about his discovery in the basement.

"...I put away the nails of those blood clan ancestors, which is also a gain. But the biggest question is the sword energy left there. I suspect... the 'blood clan ancestor' mentioned in that system may have been killed. According to normal reasoning, the system obviously requires participants to kill the blood clan ancestor and then obtain the body fragments of the blood clan ancestor, which is considered to be considered as completing the clue task. However,... the blood clan ancestor is gone, we only found an empty coffin, and there was obviously a battle there. Even the blood clan ancestor's nails were cut off." Chen Xiaolian said quickly.

"The ancestor of the blood clan... obviously should be a boss in the first phase of the mission, and he has been killed?" Phoenix frowned: "How is it possible? How long has the dungeon started? You should have entered the dungeon just opened. Could there be anyone who entered the dungeon earlier than you?"

"Impossible." Xiuxiu whispered from the side: "When we came in, the dungeon began to refresh, and we didn't see anyone else."

"Have you tried going upstairs? Can you enter other areas?" asked Phoenix.

"No, we only checked the first floor and the basement, and didn't look upstairs."

"I doubt we can't get into the second floor. If you hadn't found that nail just now, I wouldn't even be blocked outside the castle."

When Chen Xiaolian heard this, he was suddenly stunned: "Maybe... this is the system allocation? All participants were immediately assigned to different areas. Only when the task supplies for that area are found in different areas can more areas be opened?"

Phoenix's eyes lit up: "It makes sense... Hey, since that's the case, there should be mission supplies in the military camp outside, just like the nails you picked up!"

"Let's go and have a look together. Maybe you have ignored something." Chen Xiaolian immediately made a decision, then pulled Xiuxiu, took Fenghuang, and the three of them rushed out of the castle gate together.
