Chapter 20: Basement Carnival
Chapter 20: Basement Carnival
Chu Cheng'an originally held Lu Zhenqiu's hand tightly and told him not to say any more as it would increase the difficulty of the game.
But when he heard Jenny say she was going to teach them a lesson, he couldn't stand it. Did she think she could teach people a lesson? Did she think she was a Spartan or a fanatical warrior?
Chu Chengan was about to say something back when he heard Jenny say, "Something is coming from behind you..."
Chu Chengan and Lu Zhenqiu turned around, and at that moment, Jenny pulled the king and quickly hid in a secret compartment nearby.
Then, not only at the back, but also on all sides of Chu Chengan and his men, mechanisms were opened. Along with the sound of iron chains being pulled, they could hear the roars of tigers.
This castle basement is actually a zoo?
He had lived in this place for so long, but he didn't know there was another world underneath. Why did the princess and the king raise so many tigers? Just to wait for someone to fall into the trap today?
Chu Chengan pushed Lu Zhenqiu behind him and said, "A tiger is coming to eat us. Find a place to hide next to us for a while."
Lu Zhenqiu thought that this guy didn't forget to show off even at this time, but he was quite happy about Chu Chengan's action.
Chu Chengan must have never encountered such a battle in real life. Tiger was close to them and wanted to have a close contact with them...
Being so close to nature, Chu Chengan once said that he doesn’t like cities made of diamonds and cement, he likes nature more.
But he was quite surprised when the tiger came out.
Humans are supposed to be afraid of wild beasts, but he was clearly not frightened to death.
He has the confidence...
Jenny and the old king couldn't see clearly in the dark, and they didn't notice that there was a long knife wrapped in cloth on the back of Chu Cheng'an's clothes.
Chu Chengan has never had the opportunity to test this knife. The blade of this weapon is sharp and it looks very powerful.
But even if they found it, they would have no chance of taking the knife.
When Jenny and the old king were escaping, they threw torches at their feet in order to lure all the tigers to Prince William. This happened to be a good thing for Chu Chengan and his men, as they got a lighting tool for free.
Lu Zhenqiu's body instinctively reacted to being afraid of fire and heat, so Chu Chengan naturally took the initiative to step forward and quickly raised the torch before it went out. Now he held a torch in his left hand and a machete in his right hand, and he looked like a savior hero in a Western fantasy myth.
He swung the torch in front of the tiger that was approaching.
The tigers paused, slowed down their pace, and the fire in their eyes told humans that they were eager to give it a try.
In fact, tigers are also afraid of fire. Three or four of them ran over together, but they only dared to move in circles not far in front of the two people. They did not dare to rush up directly for fear of being burned into roasted tiger skin and meat. Not only would they not be able to have a good meal, but they would also be killed, which would be a loss.
Lu Zhenqiu whispered in Chu Cheng'an's ear: "It would be nice if there was water here..."
"Now that you have become a human, you can still control water?"
"Sure, I tried."
Emmm, Lu Zhenqiu's character card is so strong. Fortunately, we are not his enemy. Except for the inconvenience of walking, his fighting power is simply off the charts. He is invincible, okay?
But others may not be invincible, but Lu Zhenqiu came in with a carving needle, which is like using a cheat in the game.
After turning around twice, a hungry tiger finally couldn't hold back any longer and took a few tentative steps towards Chu Chengan.
Chu Chengan smiled and said, "Hasn't a domesticated tiger ever seen a machete that can cut through iron like mud?"
His smile disappeared, and before the tiger pounced on him, Chu Cheng'an swung his hand and chopped off a tiger's claw effortlessly.
The tiger suddenly felt severe pain, howled a few times, and quickly returned to its original cave. It escaped.
The remaining three were even more afraid to approach, but they didn't run away. The smell of blood from the tiger's claws stimulated them even more. Their throats were dry and astringent. They had been hungry for several days. It was a rare opportunity for a man and a fish to come. They really wanted to eat the prey. (Because animals are more sensitive to smells, even if Lu Zhenqiu turned into a human, the smell of fish still existed on his body, of course, it was not the fishy smell!)
The three tigers learned their lesson. They did not rescue their grandfather one by one like the Calabash Brothers did. Instead, they attacked together. Prince William only had a knife. Could he chop three at the same time?
All it takes is the sacrifice of one companion...
The three tigers didn't want to be the one being sacrificed, so they were reserved in their attack. This gave Chu Cheng'an an opportunity to deal with the slowest one first.
His knife slipped and hit the tiger's front paw, but this tiger was lucky enough not to have its claw chopped off on the spot.
Unlike the one that fled before, whose claws were missing, this time the claw was lying alone on the ground, and was picked up by Lu Zhenqiu, who was playing with it in his hand.
Chu Cheng'an's face was filled with black lines, but he was the one who first asked Lu Zhenqiu to hide, and since she didn't come to help him, he couldn't say anything to her. She was a grown-up girl now, a princess at that, and enjoyed special privileges.
When Chu Cheng'an was about to injure the tiger, the other two seized the opportunity and pounced on him at the same time, intending to tear him into pieces with their sharp claws.
Chu Chengan thought to himself that this was not good. He was now surrounded by tigers on three sides. The injured one was not seriously injured. After being beaten, its anger value increased and it wanted to bite him to death even more...
He regretted that he practiced Taekwondo instead of Kendo in real life. With his sword-drawing speed, he would definitely be slashed by the big tiger and turned into a big tabby cat.
In a flash, Lu Zhenqiu threw something over and it hit one of the tigers right on the head.
Chu Chengan sighed, he knew that this teammate who had struggled with him to survive the previous level would not really do nothing.
After he saw clearly what the person had thrown at him, he was completely clueless...
That's a tiger claw, which Lu Zhenqiu picked up earlier. Did he pick it up because he wanted to use it as a throwing prop?
This thought only lasted for two seconds. The tiger's claw that was thrown out instantly exploded, and blood spurted out, completely blocking the tiger's vision. No matter how hard it tried to wipe the blood off its face, it couldn't be wiped off in a short time.
Chu Chengan took this opportunity to kill the "blind" tiger first, which is called taking advantage of its illness to kill it.
By the way, Lu Zhenqiu can control the flow of water, and there is of course water in the blood. After passing through his hands, the "water" can be used by him.
There were two tigers left. One had a wounded front paw and was moving a little slower. The other was right next to the tiger that had just been chopped to death. A lot of blood had splattered on its fur, head, and eyes...
Even animals know that if they don't get on now, they will have no advantage at all when another human comes.
They attacked Chu Chengan from the left and right.
Chu Cheng'an was actually a little dazzled by the blood that just spurted out. After all, he was just a sports school student who was good at fighting. He was not a butcher and could not kill so many people in a row without blushing, heart beating, or breathing heavily.
The good thing about him is that, even in the critical moment, he did not get scared and his thoughts remained clear.
He raised the torch and called the system, looking like a good student raising his hand to signal the teacher to speak in class.
He said, "Rabbit, I want to eat a piece of chocolate to replenish my body."
The space was suddenly replaced by the system elf, the alien space exclusive to the fat rabbit.
Chu Chengan, who was suddenly safe, immediately fell to the ground and began to breathe heavily to rest. He was so tired...
Physically and mentally, he felt that he was actually strong enough mentally, but after experiencing this copy, he felt that it was still not enough.
The fat rabbit hopped over comically: "What should I do? It seems like you found a bug in this game. Do you think I should fix it?"
Chu Cheng'an didn't have time to reply. He was still extremely tired. He had to take this time to rest and recover his strength, as he had to go out and fight the remaining two tigers later.
The rabbit continued, "No player has ever done this before. They are almost dead but still thinking about eating items. They are either going to become a delicious meal for monsters, or they want to die in an easier way before they die, such as hitting a wall or jumping off a cliff in the game. As long as they are not caught by monsters, it doesn't matter if they die early. Only you thought of coming to the alien space to rest at this time..."
Chu Chengan thought to himself, he had never thought that he could eat chocolate in a different space, giving him extra rest time. He thought that eating chocolate could increase his attributes, and he had a higher chance of surviving, so he chose to find the system to use props...
Chu Chengan saw a long bar of chocolate appear in front of him. It was the reward he got in the previous level.
He held the chocolate in his hand and tore open the wrapper...
Eh? If he eats slowly, taking half an hour to finish this piece, or simply stops eating and takes a break, he can stay here forever and not go out? When his strength is fully restored, he can go out and kill them by surprise.
The fat rabbit saw through his thoughts and said, "What good things are you thinking about? You have 5 minutes to finish it. If you can't finish it, the attributes you added will be discounted according to how much you eat."
"..." As expected, 5 minutes was enough, enough for him to finish his meal and have a good rest.
Chu Cheng's checkpoint, finished his last bite at the last moment of 5 minutes, and then he was kicked out of the alien space by the rabbit and returned to the previous basement scene.
During the 5 minutes in the other world, nothing happened outside. At this time, Lu Zhenqiu was worried whether he could use the props smoothly.
As a result, the next second, Chu Chengan exploded. He turned around to avoid the claw of a tiger and then used the knife in his hand to chop the tiger's back.
The force was so great that it killed the tiger directly.
Then, without any delay, he flew forward and chopped down another tiger, forcing it to flee in panic...
With this speed of movement and this level of agility, he can simply be called a knight-errant.
Lu Zhenqiu couldn't help but ask him how he did it.
Chu Chengan said, "Don't worry. Once you pass this level, I will slowly tell you all the information about this game world in the real world."
Lu Zhenqiu nodded.
