"There's one more person..."
After Chen Chen killed the paladin captain, he immediately remembered that there was another wizard who had escaped from here, but it was too late to chase after him now. The other party had already merged into the ruins of the city. Trying to find him again was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, from the beginning until now, six people had been killed. Among them, there was only one wizard left in the team just now. The other team also lost a wizard and a rogue. At present, it seemed that there should be fourteen people alive.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen searched the corpses of this group of people. Sure enough, he found a lot of bottles and jars. In addition to some potions and some gold coins, there were some things that Chen Chen could not name.
For example, some spices and a strange-looking badge. But after seeing the pattern of this badge, Chen Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
On this badge, there was a blood-colored rose with blood still flowing on the stem and behind the badge, there was a string of numbers.
This was...
Chen Chen turned around and looked at the top of the hall. The badge depicted on it was indeed exactly the same as this badge!
"In other words, this badge actually belongs to me?"
Chen Chen showed a thoughtful look. "Then, if I'm not mistaken, this string of numbers should be the password for one of the four gates."
Seeing this, Chen Chen simply packed them all up and put them back in the attic of his castle.
If he wanted to find these props, he would have to get past Chen Chen first.
After doing all this, Chen Chen noticed that the horizon began to brighten slightly and a touch of dawn appeared at the end of the sky. Obviously, the night was about to pass and the next day was ushering in.
At the same time, Chen Chen also felt that his power seemed to be slightly weakened. This was obviously a kind of mandatory buff. During the day, the power of a vampire would probably be reduced by 10 to 20 percent.
However, Chen Chen thought about it. He did not return to the passage in the fireplace. It was like catching a turtle in a jar. If he was found by the other party, he might not be able to escape. So Chen Chen simply went upstairs and found a room with a wide view on the second floor to hide.
In this way, if someone in the castle approached, he could detect it immediately and also prevent the other party from finding the passage behind the fireplace.
After hiding, Chen Chen silently watched as the sky began to turn white and gradually brighten. The original indigo color quickly faded and the sky turned into a glass-like sky blue, pure and flawless.
As the sun gradually rose, a wisp of black smoke suddenly rose from the western gate of the city.
The black smoke rose straight up and the tall city wall blocked the wind. After seeing the black smoke in the distance, Chen Chen could not help frowning.
Did the other party know that it was daytime, which was why he dared to start cooking?
No, if these people were really a group of well-trained mercenaries, then they definitely wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. At this moment, the black smoke was like a trap, a trap that was luring him forward.
Chen Chen had already noticed that although he was a vampire, even if ultraviolet rays shone on his body, it would only cause burns on the surface of his skin. At this time, the wound on his arm had already healed without him realizing it.
In other words, being exposed to sunlight for a short period of time would only cause minor injuries to oneself. It was not like in the movies or legends where one would turn into ashes upon contact.
Moreover, this group of people seemed to understand him better than he did, or rather, they knew vampires very well.
It was a pity that in addition to Chen Chen's powerful physical strength, he also had an even more powerful Field energy. Most of those people before were killed by Chen Chen's omnipresent Field energy.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen was a little tempted. He was thinking about whether he should take advantage of the fact that the other party had misjudged his strength and kill all the squads near the black smoke, but on second thought, he gave up on the idea.
Now there were still two nights, there was no need for him to be in a hurry unless this group found one of the other three badges.
However, this group of people was entrusted to find the treasure and kill him. That was to say, unless they suffered heavy losses and thought that things could not be done, they would not leave easily.
As for the Consciousness Stealer mixed in the crowd, Chen Chen did not have any special way to deal with it for the time being. It was best to let nature take its course and kill it while killing this group of NPCs.
The black smoke did not rise for long. It seemed to know that Chen Chen would not be fooled and soon extinguished again. Following that, it was as silent as ever.
Chen Chen could not see any traces of activity, and at the same time, no one stepped into the range of the castle, but he did not know when, but he found that the doors of some nearby buildings were opened and then closed again.
Obviously, that group of people was still searching various rooms in the city for clues that could fight against him.
It was not until three or four hours later, when the sun set again, that Chen Chen stood up again and stretched slightly.
The heat of the day faded little by little, and the familiar power struck again, running through Chen Chen's whole body.
Chen Chen suddenly realized that he seemed to like this feeling of approaching night.
However, after night fell, he did not act immediately but waited in the castle for a while. After feeling that no one had sneaked in, he walked out of the castle and approached the western gate where the black smoke rose during the day.
This time, Chen Chen did not move quickly. It was not until he walked to the gate that he saw a bonfire on the ground in front of the western gate. At this time, the bonfire was extinguished, leaving only wisps of smoke, and there were no signs of people barbecuing food or resting on the side.
Sure enough, the black smoke during the day was a trap.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen looked at the houses around him. His Field swept across the houses without any blind spots and soon found clues in some of the rooms.
Chen Chen's figure suddenly flashed and in the next second, he appeared on the first floor of that room. He only saw a few scratches on the ground here. It seemed that someone in armor had lain here before and the doors in the room were all open and there were even traces of the locks being broken violently.
There was also an iron box in one of the rooms, but the iron box had been opened and the object placed inside was gone.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
Chen Chen found a total of eight traces in the surrounding houses.
If there were eight people, that was to say, they were the last two squads he sensed after killing a wizard and a rogue?
At this time, Chen Chen already knew that there were a total of four squads among this group of invaders. One of the squads was killed with only one wizard left and the other two squads were these eight people now. So at present, it seemed that there was only one squad left that Chen Chen had not come into contact with.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen already had a faint realization that perhaps the Consciousness Stealer was hidden in the last squad...
However, with the other party's intelligence of only five points, what would it do and why would it hide?
Chen Chen realized that he might be able to guess the thoughts of smart people, but he could not guess the thoughts of this monster. No one knew what they were thinking.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen returned to the castle again, but when he approached the castle, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. Chen Chen had never been so sensitive to the smell of blood, but at this time, he was in the consciousness battlefield after all. Although the smell of blood was the same as usual, for Chen Chen, this bloody smell was mixed with a hint of fishy sweetness.
However, this kind of misdirection was not too tempting for the strong-willed Chen Chen. He flew straight to the front of the castle and immediately saw a trace of blood flowing from the interior of the castle.
It seemed that someone was injured.
Chen Chen glanced at the trap inside. Sure enough, all the spikes on the floor tiles above his head had flown out and were directly nailed to the ground. At the same time, a few spikes had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
The line of blood extended from the castle all the way to the houses behind it.
Chen Chen's expression flickered twice. He was just about to follow this line of blood, but he paused again. "The spike trap was shot from the top of the head. If you're not prepared, you'll die immediately. It's difficult to survive despite bleeding, not to mention that the amount of blood is not much... In other words, someone has set up another ambush for this trap?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chen's lips curled into a smile again. "Interesting..."
He did not directly follow the line of blood but returned to the castle. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and the spikes popped out of the ground one by one and then fell into Chen Chen's palm like swallows returning to their nest.
Then, Chen Chen walked to the other side of the second floor of the castle and left through the back window.
At this time, his Field energy was fully activated, fully detecting the traces of people around him. At the same time, he made a circle and explored from the side in the direction of the traces of blood. Finally, after walking for hundreds of meters, he finally saw a pile of bandages left after bandaging in a small square.
In the houses around the small square, several adventurers were waiting quietly. Sure enough, this was still a trap.
The first one Chen Chen discovered were two warriors with scruffy beards. One of them was only about 1.6 meters tall, but his head was twice the size of an ordinary person. Coupled with a big nose and two giant axes in his hands, Chen Chen immediately recognized that this was a dwarf warrior.
The other person was an ordinary human warrior and not a paladin because Chen Chen did not feel the threat that only paladins had from him.
In a house near the two of them, there was a man dressed in black who was ready to strike. He was wrapped in black from head to toe, revealing only a pair of eyes. He did not wear any armor, but there were two scimitars hanging from his waist. He was dressed like an assassin.
In these two houses alone, there were already three people.
Chen Chen did not know where the rest of the people were, but he could imagine that the rest of the people were definitely in the houses around the small square. It was just that at this time, this group of people had already surrounded each other. It was impossible for Chen Chen to enter the small square himself to find the remaining people. If he continued to approach this group of people, he would inevitably be noticed by the other party.
Chen Chen still remembered the distance of forty meters.
Unless Chen Chen could kill his way in without alerting most people...
Thinking of this, Chen Chen immediately narrowed his eyes. He first chose the assassin in black, and then he approached the other party step by step. Although the limit of the Field energy was fifty meters, the control of Field energy at this distance, whether it was precision or strength, was greatly weakened.
Forty-five meters, forty-four meters, forty-three meters...
When he was forty-three meters away from the assassin in black, the other party suddenly trembled all over. He quickly stood up and was just about to pull out the scimitar at his waist, but there was suddenly nothing at his waist!
"Whoosh!"
There was the sound of metal piercing flesh. The assassin in black only felt a chill on his neck, and then a large amount of blood spurted from his neck!
"Swish swish swish..."
The assassin in black kept struggling, but he could not break free from the invisible shackles. He opened his mouth, but his scimitar had already cut his throat, so he could not make a sound.
Half a minute later, the assassin in black was completely limp, slowly approaching death.
Although Chen Chen was very far away, he knew that the scene must have begun to fill with the smell of blood. Before the others smelled the blood, he had to kill as many as possible.
Therefore, Chen Chen did not stop. He once again targeted the two warriors who stayed together. At the same time, with a flick of his finger, four spikes flew at a slow speed toward the two warriors' houses.
"Buzz..."
The four spikes were like four feathers. They fluttered into the building through the gaps between the door and the window, and silently floated above the heads of the two warriors. At this time, Chen Chen raised his right hand and suddenly clenched his fist!
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the four spikes suddenly accelerated, burrowing into the open eyes of the two warriors at lightning speed!
"Ah!"
"Ah!!"
Two screams came from inside the house. Chen Chen did not continue to kill them, but immediately retreated, retreating into the shadows behind him.
"Roar!"
As expected, outside the small square, there was a sudden roar from one of the hidden buildings, and then a warrior covered in a pure white halo rushed out. This warrior was more burly than the paladin captain killed by Chen Chen, and the silver-white halo on the surface of his body was also thicker.
At this time, Chen Chen was already hiding in the shadows. He watched the paladin rush toward him with a blank expression, but when he saw the weapon in the other party's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The weapon in the other party's hand turned out to be the unadorned, plain-looking longsword that he first discovered?
Thinking of this, Chen Chen's expression suddenly became gloomy. It was obvious that this longsword was prepared for the paladin, which was why it had such a strong impact on him.
Now, the longsword had been found by the other party, so the danger level had definitely soared. Chen Chen was not even sure that his Field could stop the other party's slash!
