Chapter 285: 101. When you stand in front of the gates of Hell...【41/60】_1

The old knight was apparently a traditional "riddler."

He always annoyingly points halfway through a conversation, perhaps he thought Murphy wouldn’t be able to handle the threats he left unsaid, or perhaps he trusted the strength of "Scarlet Witch" that he had faced in the past more than the promising Murphy.

Murphy wanted to know more, but he also knew very well that if Old Feinock didn’t want to talk, he had no way to force him to open his mouth. The comparison of strength in this situation felt so helpless.

Using the same method as before, the old knight quickly opened the thick wall of the Blood Eagle Corridor above the secret passageway waterfall and made a door leading deep into the corridor.

The two of them jumped in and landed inside the ornate corridor, while Murphy pulled out his map and studied the surroundings, speaking to the cautious old knight.

"A perfect ambush! This is the servant’s dormitory, we are only one corridor away from the Sacred Blood Pool. We can open the now-blocked central area from here and allow your subordinates to get here faster.

Or else we could scout ahead to confirm Salockdale’s location."

"Our men on both sides are currently resting in the second hall and need time to recover their fighting strength."

The old knight calculated the time in his mind and told Murphy,

"At least eight hours of rest would be needed to restore them to their prime! They need to replenish their combat supplies, the witch hunters are only tough, not tireless, and your summoned creatures from another world also need a bit of time to re-establish their connection with the material world, right?"

"Hmm, they need a bit more time."

Murphy pulled out a pocket watch and calculated the time difference between the two sides, coming to the conclusion,

"About ten hours from now."

"Then the two of us will have to find a way to clear a path for them. Hope you filled up, because the upcoming consumption might be a bit heavy, especially for you as you are now."

The old knight squinted his eyes and looked down the corridor leading to the Blood Vulture Cathedral, a strong unease welled up in his heart.

All was too quiet!

He believed that even if Salockdale had really gone mad like the vampires who had been infected by the Star Realm’s spiritual energy, he would not be utterly unresponsive to the current situation.

The witch hunters and the player army had already swept through a third of one corridor. No matter how mad he was, he should have responded. But the Blood Vulture Duke remained as steady as ever without even showing his face, either the madman was planning to surrender, or he was plotting something evil that could instantly destroy the invaders.

"I’ll go left, you go right!"

Old Feinock grabbed a one-handed hammer and a Falcon’s Shield, and told Murphy:

"There are not many vampire guards ahead, we’ll clear them out and regroup in front of the cathedral... If you can’t handle it, fall back. I’ll take over the right side after I clear the left one."

"Who are you looking down on? You’re just an old man with family issues."

Murphy pursed his lips, gripping a sword in his right hand and carrying a crossbow in his left, making the first move.

He really wasn’t showing off.

Currently, the vampires in this corridor had been driven mad by the spiritual energy of the Star Realm and were in a strange state of original weakness, something terrible had obviously happened here from Jed’s escape earlier.

So for Murphy right now, these high-ranking vampires were not invincible opponents anymore, and he just happened to need to complete the achievement system’s "Proof of a Warrior".

"Hey, use this! Be careful not to get it on your fingers, I didn’t bring any antidote."

The old knight called out to Murphy, waving two green vials of sword oil at him.

Murphy caught it, glanced at it, and the information tag popped up:

Title: Supply of the White Oak Lord’s Armament· Vampire Slayer

Effect: Can temporarily grant the weapon "Holiness Power" and "Natural Edge" when applied to it. The ointment contains alchemical drugs that target vampires. When it touches vampire blood, it will grant additional "Purifying Ignition" effect.

This item is highly toxic, do not ingest!

This item lasts for 120 minutes each application.

Requirement: This item uses a lot of high-level alchemical materials, will cause severe corrosion to the weapon, therefore it can only be used on commander level or higher weapons, usage on lower tier weapons will cause irreversible damage.

Maker: Finoc Lawson

Item Explanation:

[Witch hunters will adopt any feasible means when fighting against evil, and the outstanding alchemical research of the Avalon Church often gives them a major advantage.]

"Thanks."

Murphy didn’t stand on ceremony, opened the cap, used a handkerchief to smear the sticky green ointment on the Blade of Yi, causing the elder sword that Cui Si used to quickly turn green.

He also sneakily soaked the arrows used by his crossbow in the oil, only after making full preparations did he step into the dark corridor on the right, and at the same time, the screams of vampires came from the left.

This old man, although a riddler, was extremely powerful! Killing these weakened vampires in front of him was no more difficult than killing chickens.

Murphy took a deep breath and stepped into the corridor.

Two thin shadows came flying at him, the blood descendants revealing their ugly twisted vampire form in the dark, but their skin and bones and skull-like faces indicated that the blood in these guys’ bodies had been almost completely drained clean.
