NOVPUBChapter 474: Chapter 414 Be Careful of the Explosion!
The thought of killing the Witch made the archaeologist’s blood stir, but after staring at the knight’s armor around the Blood Pool for a while, her excitement gradually cooled down.
She wouldn’t think that those grass-overgrown suits of knight’s armor were merely useless decorations.
She might well be greeted by a huge axe just as soon as she approached.
Besides, her task wasn’t to kill the Witch, what did it matter to her whether the Witch lived or died…
Reasoning continuously like this, the archaeologist struggled to tear her gaze away from the cross-shaped greatsword and then continued to survey her surroundings, looking for any mechanisms.
...
If the “Documentary’s” information indicated that her task was here, then it must be hidden in some corner of this place!
Thinking of her own tools, the archaeologist resisted the urge to take out the book again, and conscientiously planned to rely on herself to search for clues.
Just then, a “crack” sound suddenly came from behind her.
The archaeologist’s movements stiffened.
“Crack…”
“Crack…”
“Crack…”
The rhythmic clashing of metal from behind sounded from all over, like a surround sound system in full range, the crisp sounds coinciding with the beating of her heart one after another.
What accompanied it was a surge of ferocity and brutality amidst the strong stench of blood, which immediately brought the underground space’s sinister atmosphere to its peak!
The archaeologist quickly turned her head to look and saw that the dozen or so suits of armor, originally standing motionless by the Blood Pool, were now glowing red from within the slits of their helmets!
They turned their heads in unison to stare in her direction, rotating their bodies with their huge axes, with the sound of “crack” coming from their plated armor.
Then, they took heavy steps toward her!
The archaeologist did not hesitate to turn and dash towards the staircase entrance!
Different from the red light she saw coming in, at this moment, looking out from the underground space, the other side of that door was pitch black, just as dark as when she had first descended.
Bang!
The archaeologist ran to the door and then slammed into a wall.
She quickly reached out to feel in front of her, but touched a barrier made of city wall material, almost like there was a black transparent wall in front of her.
What the hell was going on with that staircase on the other side of the door!
The staircase was within arm’s reach, yet she could not walk out!
The archaeologist looked back at the knight’s armor that was steadily closing in, her face darkening as she moved away from the wall with no way out, towards the living area of the underground space.
Here were exquisitely arranged models, clearly well-maintained.
She casually picked up a candelabrum from the table and then turned to look at the approaching knight’s armor, her lips curling into a sinister smile.
“Don’t blame me for not warning you, watch out for the boom!”
The archaeologist flung the candelabrum at them with all her might!
When the brass candelabrum landed among the suits of knight’s armor, it suddenly cracked and split apart, and the next moment—”Boom!”
The candelabrum instantly turned into light particles—it exploded!
The blast from the explosion caused the axe-wielding knight’s armor to pause, retreating a few steps passively, but seemingly undamaged, they mechanically resumed their advance on the archaeologist.
Seeing this, the archaeologist narrowed her eyes slightly, reaching out again to pick up a box, weighing it before throwing it once more.
As the box fell among the knights, the archaeologist snapped her fingers emotionlessly.
“Boom!”
Another violent explosion!
The seemingly ordinary objects, once in the archaeologist’s hands, appeared to be imbued with some kind of energy, transforming the medium and becoming controllable explosive devices.
After sweeping everything off the table, the archaeologist watched the knight’s armor still advancing undeterred, and her expression turned increasingly ugly.
When those suits of armor started moving, her first reaction was that she had been discovered by the castle.
Because she’d been in there for quite some time, and those armors were quietly standing by the Blood Pool, even when she touched the decorations in the living area, there was no reaction, it made no sense for these things to be triggered just by her ordinary inspection of the underground space!
Could it be related to some sort of time limit?
Regardless, since the living area was well-maintained, for this castle, this must be an important place.
The archaeologist’s reason for destroying the objects was to draw out the person who was watching over this place from the shadows, whether to confront her or to open the way out of the underground space so she could leave.
In any case, fighting with these machines devoid of self-consciousness is meaningless!
She wanted to force out the person hiding in the shadows!
Now, as there was still no movement from the mastermind behind the scenes, the archaeologist gritted her teeth, turned around, and placed both hands on the edge of the table!
Following that, under Xu Shuo’s somewhat astonished gaze—the lady, who appeared intellectual and elegant, especially serene when holding a book, lifted the copper table that weighed several hundred kilograms!
Xu Shuo: “…”
All the players here, they really shouldn’t be judged by appearances.
Immediately, Xu Shuo also felt the ownership of the table drifting further and further away from him, as if it had been severed by an intangible force.
However, conversely, he was able to sever the intruder’s power infiltrating the table during the transfer of ownership.
Transforming large objects was clearly more difficult than small ones, so much so that the process of her energy filling the table allowed Xu Shuo to observe closely.
But this kind of power could not be assimilated, only disrupted.
In any case, it couldn’t be figured out.
Xu Shuo snapped his fingers, and the table held by the archaeologist instantly dissolved into a pool of blood, drenching her with an utterly chilling splash.
The pungent smell of blood covered her whole body, her vision obscured by the scarlet water curtain, leaving the archaeologist completely stunned.
Meanwhile, the clanking sound of knight’s armor was close at hand.
The bulky, heavy knight’s armor approached her within two meters, then suddenly swung its massive axe with a ferocious and brutal aura crashing down!
“Bang!”
The archaeologist rolled on the spot to avoid the attack, and the axe immediately caused a crack in the ground.
Afterward, she quickly wiped the blood from her face, her hands crossed over each other, and the blood around her fingertips coalesced into a red pistol.
The archaeologist raised the gun and pulled the trigger!
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!”
Blood Bullets continuously burst from the barrel, exploding against the rushing knight’s armor charging at her.
Although they could not inflict effective damage on the armor, the immense impact kept pushing them back.
While pushing back the armors, the archaeologist hurriedly ran towards the central Blood Pool.
When her gun could no longer fire bullets, she didn’t hesitate to transform it into a dagger, and then she untied her hair and cut it off.
With hundreds of hairs, the archaeologist swung them behind her, scattering them like willow fluff swirling through the air.
And then, as the knights persisted in charging at her with their huge axes—
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Fierce explosions merged into one, the entire underground space echoed with the rumbling sound, deafening!
Without pausing in her steps, the archaeologist had already rushed to the edge of the Blood Pool.
She stomped heavily on the ground, and like a cannonball, she leaped straight towards the platform in the center of the Blood Pool!
Bang!
After landing firmly, the archaeologist immediately went forward to grab the heavy cross sword!
Pull—can’t pull it out…
She braced her feet against the ground, both hands grasping the hilt of the sword, leaning her body back in an attempt to leverage it out, but the heavy cross sword was completely immovable!
However, the good news was that those pursuing knight’s armor had reached the edge of the Blood Pool but did not jump over to continue their assault on her.
Nevertheless, being surrounded by a dozen thick armors emanating fierce and brutal auras did produce quite a bit of pressure.
“Damn it!”
The archaeologist irritably released the heavy cross sword and had no choice but to take out her book.
There must be a way to pull out the sword!
However, at the moment she took out her book, the previously still Blood Pool suddenly began to boil, and countless blood-red vines swiftly shot out from the pool!
Thud—!
The sharp Blood Vine pierced through her wrist, and the sudden turn of events caused the book to fall from her hands…
…
