Time returned to the present.
At 11: 12 a.m., Feng Bujue had returned to the throne room.
Actually, it was easy to get to the room. For example, Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling had flown up on their magic brooms. Feng Bujue had used his Geppo to jump up from the outside of the castle.
Of course, there was a prerequisite to using this method to get in, and that was … Dracula had 'let' them in.
Brother Jue had mentioned before that the castle was covered with two layers of enchantments. To be specific, the outer enchantment was in the shape of a dome, covering the moat while the inner enchantment covered the outer walls of the castle like a layer of protective film.
Blade's trio did not come into contact with the outer enchantment because when the 'old house' was transformed into the castle, they were already inside the enchantment. As for the inner enchantment, they did not try to invade the castle through the windows. Instead, they walked through the main door, so they did not encounter it.
"Yo, I'm back." When Feng Bujue jumped in through the window, he greeted Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling. "How's the surveillance going?"
"Two minutes ago, Brother Long and the others successfully lured the werewolf, gill-man, and mummy to one place. They then used a super powerful combination skill …" Xiao Ling replied.
"We don't know the exact effect of the skill …" Ruo Yu took over the conversation and said, "Anyway, from the feedback from the crystal ball, they blasted a data hole in the map … The three monsters are probably dead."
"Oh …" Feng Bujue nodded. "What about the count?"
"I'm here." Before Brother Jue could finish his sentence, Dracula's voice came from above.
Feng Bujue looked up and saw an upside-down bat hanging in the corner of the ceiling.
"Hehe … Your three generals have been killed. Aren't you going to take control of the situation?" Feng Bujue looked at the bat and asked with a smile.
"It's alright." Dracula replied as he transformed back into his human form. He slowly floated down and stood still. "Your so-called 'kill' … is only temporary. The Dark Clan … will not truly die."
"Oh? What do you mean? " Feng Bujue asked with great interest, "Could it be that you have the ability to resurrect me on the spot as long as the other party leaves this room and returns?"
Brother Jue was obviously mocking the respawn method of the Demonic Citadel series, but Dracula did not know this and did not delve into it. He just replied seriously, "After you humans die, you will become a soul and enter heaven, hell, or wander the world; but after my kind dies … we will enter 'Purgatory'." He paused. "For you, death usually represents eternity. And we … are 'Eternal' to begin with. When our physical bodies in this world are destroyed, our consciousness will return to Purgatory, and we will wait there for the next time we come to the world. " At this point, he raised one arm and flung the red cloak behind him. "As long as there is darkness in the hearts of the humans in this world, we will continue to resurrect. In fact … many times we are passively summoned to this world. Those evil religions, greedy totalitarian groups, mad scientists … there is no shortage of them in any era. "
"I see." Feng Bujue listened and smiled. "Simply put … your men were just sent back to the resurrection point, so you don't care?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about," Dracula replied. "But I feel … you seem to want to send me away?"
"Huh?" Feng Bujue raised an eyebrow and his tone changed slightly. "Where did this come from? That is not what I meant at all. "
"Humph …" Dracula looked at Brother Jue and scoffed. "Since you wish to communicate with your friends in private, I will not disturb you." After saying that, he really left.
After the count left the throne, Xiao Ling whispered, "Why do I feel like this man is acting strangely …" She turned to look at Brother Jue. "Could it be that he has seen through our plan?"
"That is possible, but it is not high …" Feng Bujue replied. "Dracula is not an Anomaly, so he will not be able to see our 'side mission'."
The 'side mission' that Brother Jue mentioned was no doubt the follow-up to the Underworld Frontline's mission, 'Find a way to meet up with your teammates'.
For the same mission, the follow-up to the Blades' mission was' Enter Dracula's Castle '. By the way, when the Blades came to the Desolate City Corridor, this mission had been crossed out and changed to 'Explore Dracula's Castle'. 'Why didn't I write it then? Obviously, I forgot.'
Then, looking at the follow-up to the Underworld Frontline's mission, their mission was updated after Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling came to meet Brother Jue. The mission was' Complete the ritual recorded in Van Helsing's diary and open the door to Borderland Prison. '
To be honest, when Feng Bujue saw this mission, he was quite depressed because he had already joined the side of the villains, and the content of this mission was obviously the opposite of his position, so it increased the difficulty of the mission.
However, Brother Jue was not the kind of person who would give up when faced with difficulties. He was a man who enjoyed overcoming difficulties. Therefore, on the way back to the throne, during the time that he shared information with his teammates, he had already come up with a plan and strategy, and he tried his best to simplify it for his teammates.
After returning to the throne, Brother Jue pretended to chat with the monsters for a while before calling Hill to go find the diary. Actually, in his original plan … he wanted to send a monster to follow Hill to get the diary, but due to the newly refreshed side mission, he changed his mind. To ensure that nothing went wrong, Brother Jue followed Hill himself.
In other words, every move that Feng Bujue made in this scenario was both planned and flexible. While he left himself some leeway, he always had the upper hand.
"Taking a step back, even if Dracula really saw through my intention …" Feng Bujue continued. "So what?" He turned to look at Ruo Yu. "The amulet is with us." Then he patted his backpack. "Van Helsing's diary is with us as well." He then turned to Xiao Ling. "Even if I don't get the diary back, we still have the phonetic symbols that Xiao Tan copied back …" He opened his arms and said in a relaxed tone, "The key items that will decide the direction of the plot are all in our hands. The enemy team and the boss are both heavily injured. The three of us are waiting for them to come to an end. There are not many variables in this situation."
"Hmm …" Xiao Ling placed her finger on her lips and thought for a moment before continuing. "Even if the worst happens … we only need to give up on the side mission and focus on dealing with Blade. The chance of us losing is indeed very small …"
"Hey, hey … I'm just saying, but you're raising a flag." The next second, Feng Bujue pointed at the crystal ball on the table with a smile. "You see … the moment you say that, trouble is coming …"
Bang!
Before Brother Jue finished, the door between the thrones was pushed open.
Standing at the door was a 1.7-meter-tall figure and two 1.2-meter-tall figures.
Without any words or hesitation, Xiao Ling took out the MP5 and KRIS _ Super V from her inventory the moment the door opened. Even in her loli form, she could use these two light submachine guns freely.
For a moment, there was a burst of "tut tut tut" gunshots, and a barrage of bullets mercilessly swept toward the three people at the door.
"Humph! As expected! "Seeing this, Brother Long smiled confidently and raised his shield to block the bullets.
Seven Kills and Greedy Wolf hid behind Long Aomin at the same time.
"Hmm? What's going on! "Four seconds later, Brother Long's expression shifted." My Life Points are dropping? "
That's right, he was losing HP … Although he was hiding behind Orichalgan's Shield and facing two firearms without special effects, his Life Points were still decreasing at a rate of 2% per second.
"What the f * ck! Run! " After holding on for a few seconds, Long Aomin finally realized what was happening. "She has filled the submachine guns with special ammo!"
After he said that, he and his two teammates jumped to the side of the door and left the enemy's line of fire.
At the same time, the viewers who were watching the livestream also realized what was going on.
"You've got to be kidding me … Just how rich is she?"
"In less than ten seconds, she has already spent three digits in RMB …"
"I've never heard of someone filling a gun with special ammo. After all, they are sold by the dollar …"
"Could it be that … they are self-made?"
"Even if it's not a store-bought product, the cost of the raw materials wouldn't be low, right?"
The viewers discussed among themselves, and there was a wave of activity in the comments and video.
It had been half a year since Thriller Paradise opened, and 'special ammo' was a product that the players were very familiar with. Most players would go to the system store to buy a few fixed types of ammunition. In any case, the store would give you what you paid for, so there was no cheating. As for the more high-end players or players with special needs, they would go to the auction house to buy special ammunition made by others. As mentioned before, many workshops were now relying on these specialized products to make money. There were also some organizations that engaged in reselling, or those that had a high demand for ammunition, who would even go to a third-party trading platform to do mass customization wholesale.
Of course, no matter who the buyer or user was, there was a common knowledge that everyone knew. That was, 'special ammo' should be loaded into guns with slow firing speed, high damage, or special effects. If there was no such condition, one could get a normal sniper rifle to load it with.
As for the basis of this common knowledge …
For example, if the penetration of a normal bullet fired from a sniper rifle was 10, then the penetration of a submachine gun would only be about 3 (in broad terms, it did not include the specific gun type and bullet caliber). When a sniper rifle fired special ammunition, even without any skills or special effects, the penetration of 10 would change to 20, 25, or even higher. But when a submachine gun fired special ammunition, it would only change the penetration of 3 to 6 to 8.
In conclusion, under normal circumstances, firing special ammo was not much different from 'activating a skill'. Considering the high price of this kind of ammo, it was a waste to load it into a gun with a high firing speed, low damage, and no special effects.
However, Xiao Ling's action and thought process went against common sense.
Those with a good memory might remember that when Xiao Ling challenged Brother Jue in the Matchless Martial Competition scenario, she had already done that. Now, she had demonstrated her money-burning action of 'treating special ammo as normal ammo' before the audience.
It was for no other reason than to be able to deal more damage with each shot.
She was that heartless, that rich, and that willful.
"What's going on?" Seven Kills, who rolled one round outside the door, immediately raised his head to ask Brother Long, "Aren't you good at tanking bullets?"
"If she really fired special ammo at me, it would have been easier," Long Aomin replied with a frown. "The attack rate of a submachine gun is too fast. I don't even have the time to use Orichalcum Barrier to convert the power of each bullet, and those bullets are just enough to break through my normal defense. If she tanked me like that, my Life Points would continue to drop."
"Tsk … If only we had more funds …" Tan Lang, who was next to him, heard this and said unhappily, "… we would be able to squander like her …" He clenched his fist and said fiercely, "When the time comes, I will install two TVs in the conference room. One to watch the news, and the other to watch Animal World."
"Hey! Is that the main point? " Seven Kills was not on the same side as Tan Lang, so he raised his voice. "Political Commissar, you have to pull yourself together! I don't know whether to mock you or mock the show you're watching! "
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as they were shouting, they saw … two shadows flash out from the door.
At that moment, the three from Blade Edge instinctively thought that it was some kind of explosive that flew out, so they all took defensive and retreated stances.
But two seconds later, they took a closer look … and discovered that it was actually three people who had flown out.
At that moment, Feng Bujue and Ruo Yu were riding on a magic broom, and Xiao Ling was riding alone.
After the three of them flew out from between the thrones, they rushed into the city, completely ignoring the three enemy members behind them.
"This is bad!" Two seconds later, Tan Lang was the first to react. "Go after them! They're running! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a big stride forward and ran to the front.
But …
[Side Quest Progress Update] At that second, the system notification coincidentally rang.
The new quest that appeared in the Blade Edge members' quest tab was — Slay the Devil Dracula.
