Chapter 672: Chapter 209: Stonewell! The God-level Map Design That Silenced Designers Globally!_6

Ever since he entered the city gate, he hadn’t carried much money with him.

He had spent what money he did have at the first opportunity.

Then, after encountering the Furnace Knight, the continuous deaths prevented him from collecting his Runes, which had long since disappeared.

That’s why he hadn’t noticed whether any money had gone missing.

Even if it had, it was probably only a few hundred, not really noticeable unless he looked closely.

Although the barrage of comments did remind him, the nature of those comments...

They were mostly for entertainment.

It was not uncommon for them to misguide the streamer into intentionally seeking death or taking the wrong path.

So at first, Czcu didn’t pay it much attention.

The 20,000 he had accumulated through exploration was not a small sum and was enough for his level 35 character to level up four times in one go.

Suddenly losing 6K made it clearly visible.

After some explanations from viewers who had watched other streams, Czcu finally understood.

It was the gatekeeper named Geto Ke who had been working behind the scenes.

It was him who had stolen the money, and also him who had locked the Fading One in Hei’s room and bolted the door.

Damn you Deng, you rotten scoundrel!

Just wait, I’ll find you and make you Explode Gold Coins!

Setting aside the unhappiness of losing the Runes for the moment.

He proceeded through a newly opened door.

He dealt with several ambushers who were just small fry.

Then, after passing through another door.

Czcu arrived at a grand interior hall that made his scalp tingle.

The vast space was filled with neatly arranged long dining tables.

The tables were still set with utensils and candlesticks that flickered with a weak flame.

A commanding portrait of a king hung on the wall.

Below it, the hearth fire flickered.

This place looked like a dining hall.

But if one’s gaze strayed even slightly upward,

One would find the upper space crammed full of countless severed limbs and maimed bodies hanging from the beams.

The sight was reminiscent of a tree covered in wishing charms.

And these limbs mostly came from humans or Subhumans.

Some were even worse, with three arms or legs fused together like failed experiments.

Beyond that, the floor was littered with body-shaped forms wrapped in shrouds, and the corner was piled up into a heap.

To Czcu, who was already cautiously exploring, this gruesome and bloody scene was doubly shocking.

What was more dangerous,

Was that something hidden in the shadows, akin to a giant crab, started to move as if it had noticed an uninvited guest.

As it rushed toward Czcu,

His pupils suddenly contracted.

This creature!

It seemed familiar!

"Isn’t this that damnable Limb Noble from the plot event we encountered at the beginning of the game... back in the Marquis Worship Hall?"

This noble, save for its head which still retained a human appearance, was an abhorrent creature with various limbs attached all over its body.

Indeed, it had left a significant psychological shadow on the players when they had first seen it.

And now, the space the player could maneuver in was even more confined than before.

As the Limb Noble scuttled towards Czcu on all fours, letting out its eerie, piercing screams,

The sense of oppression felt much stronger.

Czcu really didn’t want to die in such a place.

Because ever since he set off from the City Wall Tower, he had made so many turns and backtracks that he had no idea how far he was from the exit.

If he were to die now, running back here to pick up his Runes would undoubtedly be a miserable ordeal.

He made a snap decision.

He wasn’t going to fight this thing!

Chased by the Limb Noble, Czcu dashed wildly, hiding and dodging while swiftly scanning the surroundings for a way out.

The Limbs Hall seemed small only in comparison to the Limb Noble—it was a labyrinth to a player.

The exit to the upper left was where Czcu had come from, leading back to Stonewell’s main front square, full of guards with high defensive power, not to mention Fat Brother—it was not an option.

The exit to the upper right was a spiraling staircase guarded by several soldiers, and with the Limb Noble hot on his heels, it wasn’t suitable for a forced breakthrough.

The lower left exit opened to a small outdoor space, but appeared to be a dead end. The only things visible at the end of the line of sight were a statue of a goddess and a sealed White Fog Gate that was presently inaccessible.

As for the lower right exit, it was similar to the lower left, seemingly a space for piling up failed experimental subjects. There, several wild dogs were seen gnawing at carrion, and above hung a gigantic Stone-digging Mountain Demon, with its legs and arms chopped off, as if it had also been used for limb experiments.

With the Limb Noble closing in from behind and no way out in sight, Czcu was in a panic.

In his frantic search, he suddenly noticed,

By the wall that shook opposite the large portrait,

There was an arch-shaped door!

Two torches were stuck by the entrance,

Which could easily be overlooked by players as mere candlesticks.

Clutching at his last hope,

He ran towards the archway, and in the very last moment before the Limb Noble pounced,

He rolled into the archway.

Accidentally stepping on a mechanism,

The platform he was on suddenly started to rise.

Watching the Limb Noble rage helplessly outside the arch, madly swinging its sword and slashing at the wall,

Czcu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fuck! The sense of oppression in this place is way too intense..."

"Let me save quickly."

"I’ll spend the 20,000 on me first and then come explore again."

Just as his words fell,

"Click."

As the platform engaged with the upper structure’s floor,

Czcu’s gaze froze all over again.

This place...

This environment...

Wasn’t this the familiar City Wall Tower Blessing Spot that felt like his own backyard?

Had he really ended up back at the City Wall Tower??

"NONONONONO... Oh god, oh please!" Czcu’s temples throbbed wildly, his mouth kept drawing in cold air, and his heart was indescribably shaken; he couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
