Chapter 386 Extra: If Yueyue is the dungeon boss (2)
With Lin Feng's voice gone, Chu Li finally felt much more at peace.
Besides the two of them, the other players followed Chu Li at a distance, having all heard the conversation, and remained silent.
To avoid being eliminated by this expert player before they are even killed by the monster.
Chu Li didn't care whether others followed him or not, as long as they didn't make a fuss.
The entire haunted house was indeed eerily quiet, and the red lanterns under the eaves only added to the terrifying atmosphere.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in, startling several players.
Chu Li finally stopped in his tracks: "You're here."
As he finished speaking, everyone realized that a large group of men, women, and children, all pale-faced and dressed in ancient costumes, had gathered at the front and back of the corridor.
Their eyes were vacant, and they were all staring blankly at them.
Chu Li pulled out a long sword from somewhere, just as he had said before, killing was enough.
Lin Feng, standing beside him, noticed that his eyes were no longer as cold and distant as before, but instead held a hint of excitement.
No, this big shot is probably an antisocial element who just got out of jail!
However, Lin Feng quickly forgot about this, because after Chu Li made his move, the monsters all pounced on him.
He quickly grabbed weapons to defend himself.
Some novice players were caught off guard and were quickly captured by the strange creature.
The remaining people found that Chu Li's vicinity was the safest, and they gathered around him.
Chu Li didn't care about any of that; he became more and more excited as he killed, sometimes even managing to pierce two enemies with a single sword strike.
Even though the strange creature was pierced through by the sword, it wasn't so easy for it to die. It was just that people were frightened by the aura of someone who could kill ghosts and Buddhas alike.
Are they the weird ones, or is this person the weird one?
It seems he enjoys killing even more than they do.
The strange creatures were finally frightened away and fled like a receding tide, while Chu Li, in high spirits, chased after them without a second thought.
The other players, however, hesitated upon seeing this, wondering whether they should give chase.
The strange things around them had all disappeared. If they went up now, wouldn't they be offering themselves up as food? Besides, they realized that the big shot had no intention of protecting them at all.
It's actually safer to stay here now.
Even Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before taking off to chase after them, and two other players followed.
However, Chu Li ran too fast, so they could only follow in the direction he and the strange creatures had gone.
Chu Li chased after the strange creature for most of the day and had already escaped quite a distance.
The haunted house had many branching paths, and the eerie creatures scattered in all directions. After killing the last one in front of him, Chu Li realized that he had arrived at a tightly closed courtyard.
Red lanterns hung on both sides of the courtyard, and a large red "囍" character was pasted on the door. Red ribbons hung on both sides, and the atmosphere inside was eerie.
Chu Li immediately thought of the ghost bride mentioned in the dungeon prompt.
Based on his previous experience clearing dungeons, what usually appears in the dungeon prompts is the dungeon boss.
Chu Li's favorite thing to do is fight dungeon bosses. Other ordinary monsters are too weak and can only give him a brief chance to vent his emotions.
And you can usually withstand the dungeon boss for a while longer, making the fight more enjoyable.
Although this is a C-rank dungeon, and the boss's strength can't compare to that of an A-rank dungeon boss, it's still a boss nonetheless.
Chu Li didn't know what was wrong with him. He had grown up alone without parents since childhood and had no emotional fluctuations.
Until the strange thing happened, he found himself completely at home in the dungeon.
He enjoys the thrill of killing monsters and revels in the excitement of combat.
So without hesitation, Chu Li pushed open the courtyard gate.
The courtyard was quite large, with festive decorations along the corridors. The surrounding houses were all dark, except for the candlelight in the main room.
That's obviously where the dungeon boss is located.
Chu Li, carrying a longsword that had slain countless monsters, walked unhurriedly towards the main room and pushed open the door once more.
Red wedding candles were lit inside the door.
It looked like it was already half-burned, and the only sound in the room was the burning of the candle.
As Chu Li continued walking, he finally saw the ghost bride sitting on the wedding bed, dressed in a red wedding gown and with her face covered by a veil.
The other person remained motionless. As if hearing a sound, she finally raised her head. Because her head was covered with a bridal veil, she should not have been able to see the scene outside.
She was completely covered up, except for a pair of fair and well-proportioned hands that were obediently folded together.
The room wasn't very bright, but for some reason, Chu Li could clearly see the slightly reddish knuckles on those hands, the neatly trimmed nails, and the red nail polish covering them.
The color of the nail polish was exceptionally vibrant, like blood, yet it didn't look out of place; it appeared remarkably harmonious on her hands.
Chu Li swallowed hard, feeling a strange sense of nervousness.
This was an emotion he had never experienced even when fighting A-level dungeons.
He gripped his sword tightly, walked step by step to the bedside, and stood before the ghost bride.
As if possessed, he didn't raise his sword to strike, but instead picked up the wedding scales beside him and lifted the veil from the ghost bride's head.
A face as white as jade slowly appeared in the candlelight.
Her eyes were bright, and her butterfly-like eyelashes were slightly open as she looked up at her.
She seemed to hesitate, trying to confirm, before finally asking in confusion, "Who are you?"
Her voice sounds very sweet and soft.
Is this the boss of this dungeon? She looks so delicate and beautiful, so easily defeated.
He didn't even need to lift his sword; a gentle pinch was enough to make her collapse into his arms.
It bears no resemblance to the bosses in previous dungeons.
She's so pretty and cute, how could she possibly be a dungeon boss?
No, even if it's a dungeon boss, it's definitely not her fault. Someone must have bullied her, and the players she killed must have disturbed her.
Otherwise, why would she be so obedient now, showing no intention of making a move?
Chu Li completely ignored her slowly growing red fingernails.
Jiang Liyue was still looking at him, her eyes filled with murderous intent, as if she was thinking about how to kill her prey in one blow.
But then, feigning weakness, she asked again, "Who are you?"
Chu Li finally spoke, keeping the hand holding the sword behind his back so she couldn't see it. He lowered his voice, with a hint of coaxing: "I am your husband."
He was the first to enter the bridal chamber, and he was the one who lifted her veil.
Why isn't he her husband?
