Chapter 92: Lighthouse Keeper
Chapter 92: Lighthouse Keeper
After a while, he finally walked out of the shore with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
The two men walked vigilantly towards the lighthouse, one in front and one behind.
The cold rain was brought by the sea breeze, the lightning and thunder never stopped, the waves beat against the shore, raising bursts of water mist, and the lighthouse's searchlight was still swaying in the sea, searching for its target.
Most of the houses along the coast were dead silent without any sound, but occasionally one could hear some eerie whispers, which was chilling.
However, the two of them did not have the time to check the situation in each house one by one. They quickly followed the coast of the coastal town and came to the towering lighthouse.
When passing a road on the rocks, the waves hit them again and again, making both of them covered with sea water.
Bang!
Li Miao kicked open the wooden door at the bottom of the lighthouse and walked in with the sword of law in his hand.
The candlelight on his body allowed him to see at a glance a shriveled corpse on the ground.
He was sitting on a stool, his body full of knife piercings, his eyes looking upwards with a painful expression, emitting a foul stench of corruption, it was obvious that he had been tortured to death.
Judging from his clothes, he seems to be the keeper of this lighthouse.
After looking at each other, the two men walked around the corpse and began to climb up the stairs.
Nothing unusual was found on the second, third, and fourth floors, only some ordinary daily necessities.
The third level has a new milestone: the spiritual candle.
After lighting it up, the two went up the stairs to the fifth floor.
Li Miao in front suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet.
I saw a line of blood extending all the way from the steps above to his feet.
At the same time, there were some heavy breathing sounds from above, like a sleeping beast.
After Li Miao took a look at the shore behind him, he replaced the Law Knight's greatsword in his hand with a +2 Candlelight Scimitar.
Because the space on the lighthouse is getting narrower and narrower, the Law Knight's Greatsword will be difficult to use in this situation.
Li Miao didn't need to say much. He went ashore and took out the devil fish tail staff, ready to attack at any time.
Soon, Li Miao started climbing again and soon reached the fifth floor. He also saw the source of the heavy breathing sound.
This is a dog-shaped monster with sharp teeth and blood on its body, sleeping soundly while holding a human thigh bone.
Bloodhound
Although it is of the Embers grade, it is only level 11 and has no special war fire.
Seeing this, Li Miao's nervousness immediately dissipated a little.
He thought he was so cruel with all the fanfare, but in the end he was just a dog.
"Woo..."
As if it smelled something unusual, the bloodhound woke up suddenly.
But before it could react, the candlelight scimitar, which had been accumulating power for a long time, suddenly chopped down towards its dog head.
[You killed the blood hound]
[Obtained: Wax Oil × 12]
[Obtained: Antonista's Collar × 1]
"What the hell? Antonista...why did he lose his dog collar?"
After muttering twice, Li Miao put it away.
"That's it? I thought there was a big boss." Shangan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Don't let your guard down. Is there another floor?"
Li Miao shook his head and looked towards the stairs.
If I'm not mistaken, the sixth floor should be the top floor.
"Hee hee hee……"
The indistinct low laughter coming from above confirmed his guess.
In addition, there was a familiar reddish light on the stairs leading to the sixth floor, exactly the same as what they saw in the sea.
"How about stacking the buff first?"
He went ashore and took out a crab and said.
Li Miao paused. The watchdogs below were all of the Embers grade, and the guy on top might be more powerful, so it would be better to be careful.
He took the crab without hesitation and took a bite, then immediately felt a slight increase in strength.
"And this, spicy noodles, tastes good."
He went ashore and brought out two sea snake-like creatures.
Cooked sea snake
【Description: Consumables】
[Effect: After consumption, your attacks will be accompanied by a weak toxin for a period of time. ]
"It's really spicy..." Li Miao took it, looked at it strangely, and took a bite: "Where did you get so many consumables?"
"I caught some by fishing. I still have more." As he said this, he actually got two turtle-like fish on shore.
"Okay, that's enough." Li Miao stopped talking quickly because he suddenly realized that the low laughter from the sixth floor had disappeared.
After looking at the stairs, they were suddenly startled.
Because at the stairs, a terrifying blood-stained face was staring at them.
It was dressed in a tattered believer's robe, with blades stabbed all over its body, blood oozing from them, and its face was covered with wounds deep enough to see the bone. Its eye sockets were filled with densely packed blood vessels, and there was only empty blood in its eyes, which was extremely horrifying.
That look seemed to be saying, are you two eating snacks?
【Lighthouse Keeper】
[Rank: Embers]
【Level: 15】
【War:?】
【talent:?】
[Skill: Unknown]
[Description: A strange pagan, after killing the original lighthouse keeper, it took his place, marking all those who came here with a crazy blood-red light.]
"Ho..."
"what!!!"
After his chest expanded slightly, the lighthouse keeper suddenly let out a sharp and terrifying roar towards the two people below, as if invisible hands were frantically tearing their hearing.
"Damn it." Li Miao quickly raised the big shield, the war broke out, and he blocked himself and the shore behind him.
While resisting the attack, Li Miao also raised his hand and swung out a crescent sword energy.
Bang!
The lighthouse keeper raised his hands and tore them apart. His blood-covered hands actually dispersed the crescent sword energy.
But the rest of the crescent sword energy still fell on it, causing some damage, but it felt no pain.
Then it stopped roaring, reached down its throat, grabbed its tongue, and pulled it out violently.
Wow!
Blood gushed out, and a jumping bloody tongue was pulled out, with crazy power attached to the sticky blood.
"This is really fucking sanity..."
He came ashore and saw it with grim teeth, and took this opportunity to raise his manta ray staff, which shot out bloodstones that exploded and landed on the lighthouse keeper.
But the lighthouse keeper swung his bloody tongue and used it as a whip, directly smashing the attacking bloodstone.
Then, it stomped suddenly, and the floor of the sixth floor collapsed instantly, and it fell in front of the two people.
The light red light spread down from above and landed on the two of them.
[You have been infected by "madness", and abnormal progress is accumulating...]
Abnormal status accumulates again.
What was even more shocking was that the two of them suddenly noticed that there was a huge hole on the lighthouse keeper's head, which was empty.
The source of the crazy infection and the light of the lighthouse was the bloody and bleeding brain above, and the two eyes connected to it.
"what!!!"
puff!
Li Miao had already used the Guraid Slam to smash the lighthouse keeper's head, splitting it into pieces. But it seemed to be of no use. The lighthouse keeper was still roaring and waving the blood tongue in his hand, which automatically extended and wrapped around Li Miao's waist.
The progress of the crazy infection suddenly jumped.
Li Miao's eyelids also jumped suddenly, and he quickly raised the big shield and slammed it against the wall, tearing off the bloody tongue around his waist.
After getting ashore, he was not idle either, summoning the Ghost Claw to assist.
But the strange thing is that although the lighthouse keeper's health is decreasing, the speed is very slow and it is recovering quickly.
This made the two of them realize in an instant that there was no way to kill it in this way.
"Hit that brain!"
He came to his senses suddenly after reaching the shore, and quickly picked up the devil fishtail staff, condensing a blood-colored magic ball.
Li Miao also reacted and held down the lighthouse keeper in front of him to create an opportunity to go ashore.
The bloodstone exploded and hit the brain, but the latter condensed a blood-colored barrier to block it.
The lighthouse keeper became extremely angry at this time, and burst out with great force, pushing Li Miao aside.
Li Miao hit the wall of the lighthouse with a bang, but fortunately the wall was very strong. He quickly stood up and shouted: "Keep going!"
As he spoke, he charged as a knight holding a large shield and ran over the lighthouse keeper who was about to attack the shore, suppressing him.
The attacks ashore continued.
The Bloody Brain's shield began to show signs of fatigue.
The lighthouse keeper was almost crazy and wanted to attack the shore.
But Li Miao would not give him this opportunity. With the flames of war burning in his body, he would suppress him at all costs.
Finally, the bloody brain could no longer hold on and exploded under the attack from the shore, with the red and white sticky liquid covering the two men.
Without the support of the bloody brain, the lighthouse keeper's body suddenly trembled violently, and finally exploded into a ball of blood mist.
You killed the lighthouse keeper.
Li Miao, who was in the blood mist, felt the crazy progress bar suddenly jump, so he quickly retreated to a safe place.
After everything calmed down, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The damaged floor slowly began to repair itself.
"When I first entered the game, I thought the murlocs were disgusting enough..."
"I didn't expect the monsters in the future to be more outrageous than the last. This game is getting more and more terrifying..."
Shangan couldn't help but complain.
But then he laughed: "But I have to say, it's quite exciting!"
"You kid must be a bit perverted." Li Miao looked at him with contempt and walked forward to pick up the spoils.
[Obtained: Wax Oil × 26]
[Obtained: Strange Handwriting]
[Obtained: Blood Tongue (Excellent)]
【Blood Tongue (Excellent)】
[Type: Weapon]
[Effect: Provides moderate life recovery speed, spirit -5, faith -5 when held. ]
[Explanation: The lighthouse keeper's tongue is infected by abnormal power, which is a force going to extremes and can also be seen as an ominous sign.]
"What the hell is this thing that fell..."
"Who would use it if it loses so many attributes?"
Li Miao shook the sticky and slippery blood tongue whip in his hand, unable to hold it back, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Let me see it." Shang'an's eyes lit up, and he took the blood tongue from the other party and said, "Who cares what it is? As long as it can be used, isn't it enough?"
As he said this, he waved his bloody tongue in an attempt.
You know what, this thing can extend automatically and can be used as a whip. It also has deep red attack marks and the special effects are pretty cool.
But soon he shook his head with regret: "...What a pity, you take it, I can't use this thing, I feel like my brain has become less smart after taking it."
The attribute of reducing spirit and faith is really too fatal for a mage like him.
"You talk as if you are very smart." Li Miao rolled his eyes, then thought: "I think this thing should be very good for Brother Mangzi..."
Shangan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What do you want to say?"
"nothing."
Li Miao coughed, put it away, and took out something else.
【Strange handwriting】
[Type: Letter]
[Content: ...jiligurulu...waibiwaibi...(bloody handprint)]
[Explanation: Only a madman can understand the handwriting of a madman.]
Apart from this bloody handprint, there seemed to be no useful information. Even Lingzhu's translation was useless for these crazy words.
"What's written on it?"
He came ashore and poked his head over.
Li Miao handed it to him and said seriously: "Then take a look. You should be able to understand it. Translate it for me after you finish reading it."
He took it with some surprise when he came ashore, then his face turned dark, and he raised the devil fish tail staff and wanted to give Li Miao a blood stone explosion.
"Put it away, maybe it will be of some use."
Li Miao chuckled.
He went ashore and put the letter away in annoyance.
Having said that, the two did not leave immediately, but came to the top floor after the floor of the sixth floor repaired itself.
After searching for a while, the two found nothing.
However, from the top floor of this lighthouse, they could see the entire coastal town of Regga and the surrounding sea.
The direction they came from was a turbulent sea, with lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. They could see some crazy fishermen wandering around in the ocean.
On the left side of the shore where they landed was a large port with several large sailing ships swaying with the waves, but there was no one in sight.
On the right side, the most prominent building in the center is a multi-story building, but I don’t know what it is.
In addition, there is a looming square in the center of the town.
But the most eye-catching thing in the entire coastal town is the castle at the back.
Port, buildings, square, castle.
Li Miao silently took note of these most conspicuous buildings.
Afterwards, he left the top floor of the lighthouse with the two people who came ashore.
……
On Zhuxin Island, Rogge found Nonia at the entrance of the cave and brought her to the prayer chapel where there were no players.
After telling her about the Exile Island and the coastal town of Regega, Rogge asked:
"…Do you know what these two abnormal powers are?"
Although Nonia's memory has not been restored, it is not difficult to see that she should have been a member of a positive force in this world.
"Rotten... Mad..."
Nonia muttered to herself, trying hard to recall.
After a moment, she seemed to recall some memory fragments, frowned, and said: "It seems to be a force that is more ominous and dirty than the group of summoners..."
But in the end she shook her head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Roger, I don't recall any useful memories."
"fine."
Rogge shook his head slightly, thinking of the "blood tongue" that Li Miao got, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
