Chapter 22 Blood Moon Night (Twenty-two)
The moment the door was knocked open, before Nan Huan could say anything, the werewolf had already pounced.
It was like the resentment that had been squeezing inside my body had finally found a way to vent.
The werewolf's attack was fierce and swift.
Although it is much larger in height and size, it is very agile in movement.
The witch didn't seem to expect that she would see such a scene when she chased after him.
She only had time to show Nan Huan a hateful look before she had to concentrate on dealing with the werewolf.
There is a natural difference in size between the man and the werewolf, but when they fight, they can be said to be evenly matched.
The witch only has a scepter in her hand, while the werewolf relies on his sharp claws.
But when they started fighting, it sounded like steel plates hitting each other.
The wine cellar was already crumbling, and the witch's scepter was like a weapon that could destroy the house.
He hit whatever he pointed at, and after a series of operations, the wine barrel rack was completely gone.
The bloody liquid and the fishy smell originally contained inside spread throughout the wine cellar.
Nan Huan originally thought that it was a bit expensive to spend 500 points in five minutes to summon a werewolf.
But now that I see its fighting movements, I truly understand what the "iron bones" shown in its skills mean.
Although the werewolf has transformed, he doesn't seem to have forgotten what the witch did to him.
It stretched out its claws and grabbed the most vulnerable part of the opponent's throat.
With just one move, she could make the other person bleed and experience how she felt after having done these things to others.
But the fist that was swung out accidentally hit something hard.
The werewolf narrowed his eyes and saw clearly that what was blocking him was a completely black scepter.
For ordinary things like this, it can make ten at a time.
The werewolf didn't care and squeezed it hard.
The thing was not damaged at all, and instead the witch swung her scepter at it.
He hurriedly took a few steps back and jumped to avoid the attack, only to see that the ordinary scepter had already smashed a three-meter-deep hole in the ground.
The wine cellar was filled with dust, sawdust, and the smell of blood.
Nan Huan took Xiaoxue and Li Shuai and found a corner where they would not be affected.
The two people behind him were not newcomers. They had entered many D-level and C-level copies, but it seemed like they were seeing such a scene for the first time.
After all, the D-level copies they had entered in the past had never been upgraded within a day due to special side quests.
Nor was the main quest unlocked within half a day after the quest was upgraded to C level.
Not to mention that even after the main quests have been unlocked, they still have only a vague idea of the NPC's identity and can only get a vague understanding from others.
What is particularly important is that the side quests they completed and Nanhuan’s side quests seemed to exist in two different copies.
Although they were not very smart, they realized that this copy seemed to be different from previous ones.
Especially the number of players, which actually changed after entering the game.
However, Nan Huan’s identity was different from theirs from the very beginning.
At first, they only thought that Nan Huan was a hidden boss with special skills and superb abilities.
But at least I have been through so many copies and met some powerful people.
However, they have never seen any player with the skills to use the NPCs in the game for their own benefit, sow discord among them and make them fight, thus indirectly completing their tasks.
Or like now, use one NPC to deal with another NPC directly, while you hide aside and watch the fun.
In just a few seconds, many wild guesses flashed through Xiaoxue and Li Shuai's minds.
But in the end, it all comes down to the final point that this thigh must be held tightly.
"Why don't we take this opportunity to sneak away and find a safe place to hide?"
Seeing the fierce fight over there, Xiaoxue took a glance and felt a little puzzled.
The witch had no time for them, and now was a good opportunity to leave.
Nan Huan's eyes were always on the two people fighting. She picked up a piece of wood and placed it over the heads of the three people to prevent anything from flying out.
While carefully explaining to the two, "I originally thought that if the chef could get rid of the witch within five minutes after the transformation, there would be no need for us to escape."
Two figures not far away, as if tireless, smashed the last barrel rack in the wine cellar.
"But now it seems that I overestimated the ability of the werewolf and underestimated the level of the witch. Now running away is useless."
Nan Huan's tone was very bad, especially since the fight between a man and a werewolf not far away was getting longer and longer, and her expression was getting worse and worse.
“Why five minutes?”
Li Shuai, who was standing nearby, asked, glancing at his watch, "It's almost three minutes now, and it will be five soon. Are you really not going to run? I feel like they are equally strong, and there's no way to tell who will win."
"The werewolf's summoning time is only five minutes. If he wins, there's no need for us to run away. We only need to wait another three hours and we can clear the game directly."
Nan Huan did not clearly state his skills, but only explained that the werewolf state could not be sustained forever.
"If he can't win, it will only take five minutes at most. It will only take a few minutes for the witch to find us. Instead of hiding here and there and waiting for the witch to catch us all, we might as well stay here and see if she has any weaknesses that can be exploited."
Nan Huan's voice was relatively calm, but the content of his words was a little too shocking.
It took the remaining two people a long time to come back to their senses.
In fact, not long after the werewolf took action, Nan Huan realized that it was no match for the witch.
If the blood moon does not last for three hours, if Nan Huan has enough points, or if the skill cooldown of the 'Iron Bones' werewolf is not twenty-four hours, the duration of each time will be slightly longer.
Nan Huan can also let him fight against the witch all the time. It doesn't matter if he can't win. As long as he delays the time until the blood moon ends, they can pass the level.
But now all the restrictions are here. The werewolf cannot hit the target with one strike. His level can only delay the witch, but he cannot subdue or even destroy her.
This means that after the duration of the werewolf skill ends, the remaining players will still face a witch whose abilities are far superior to theirs.
There is no point in hiding, but there is no chance of winning if you confront them head-on.
"You two, while the werewolf can still hold out for a while, you should leave first and find a place to hide. The longer you can hold out, the better."
Nan Huan's eyes were still on the fighting man and werewolf, but she still gave the choice to the other party.
After all, there is no point in several people staying here. Although running away cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can delay it for a while, and maybe there will be a turning point.
"How can that be possible? We two won't leave you alone."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoxue denied her words, "Although we are not as capable as you and are also afraid of death, you have helped us many times. We will not let you stay here alone at this time."
After hearing what Xiaoxue said, Li Shuai also hurriedly expressed his feelings, "That's right, the worst that can happen is that everyone dies in this instance, how can we leave on our own?"
This was somewhat beyond Nan Huan's expectations. Although these two people were not very capable, their character was unexpectedly good.
Nan Huan suddenly became interested in something else. "Are all the people in your guild similar to you?"
She now understood a little bit why the guild of the Servant of Skirts was ranked first.
In this game that is detached from all moral bottom lines in reality, no matter what the players become, or what strange guilds appear, it is actually normal.
But what is rare is that the players who come in still maintain a certain moral bottom line. This kind of cohesion is unmatched by other guilds and is the true aspiration of the people.
It seems that the president of the first guild is really good at selecting people.
However, Xiaoxue and Li Shuai, who were asked by her, obviously misunderstood what she meant.
"Huh? Although there are many people who are about the same level as us, there are also many who are much more capable than us. Don't misunderstand the guild just because of us two."
Xiaoxue quickly waved her hands to explain, fearing that her existence would bring shame to the guild.
It can be seen that even at this moment, she still cares about the reputation of her guild.
Nan Huan looked back at her and explained, "You misunderstood. What I meant was that maybe after I get out of this dungeon, I will go to your guild."
"Ah? Really? That's great."
The two were talking excitedly, and Li Shuai had to interrupt.
"The premise is that we have to get out of this copy first. Time is running out. How about we discuss the witch's weakness?"
Li Shuai looked at the time again and had no choice but to pour a basin of cold water on the two of them.
It's not that he wanted to spoil the fun, but the current situation was really urgent.
The fight over there became more intense, and the witch's face had several scratches.
There are more dents on the werewolf's body. Although he is not like ordinary players who will be hit by the witch and have blood holes on his body, he will still be damaged by the opponent's attacks.
Xiaoxue also realized that it was not appropriate to say this now, so she quickly stuck out her tongue and stood behind Nanhuan politely, not daring to disturb him.
Nan Huan turned her head and continued to stare at the fight over there, but this time her eyes were fixed on the witch's scepter.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been using it for a long time or because werewolves are a little difficult to deal with.
A bit of scarlet appeared on the top of the completely black scepter.
The originally black body of the staff seemed to have absorbed some kind of power. Red marks began to seep out from the top, winding and extending densely from top to bottom.
The red color gradually covered the black marks, leaving a familiar pattern on the staff.
Nan Huan’s gaze paused.
"Did you encounter any witches during your side quest this afternoon?"
She tilted her head as if she had thought of something and asked the two of them, "Was she holding the scepter in her hand at the time? When she attacked you? Did you see it clearly?"
She remembered Xiaoxue had said before that they had encountered a witch during their side quest in the afternoon, so she knew that the other party was not easy to deal with.
Xiaoxue hadn't figured out the connection yet, but Li Shuai quickly gave an answer.
"She was holding the scepter the whole time, and she also used it when she attacked, but her strength seemed to be limited at that time, and it was not as powerful as it is now. I am sure of that."
Seeing that time was disappearing little by little, Li Shuai didn't dare to delay.
"I have a way that may be able to deal with the witch, but I need your help. I'm not sure it will be 100% effective, but in this situation, we have no choice but to fight. Do you want to try with me?"
Nan Huan's tone was rarely so serious. After all, she was not 100% sure.
She can disregard her own safety and risk her life to survive, but she can't control other people's thoughts.
"want."
"Of course we have to give it a try. It's better than staying like this. You tell me, we don't have much time."
The two of them didn't take long to think before they gave a positive answer.
Nan Huan was not pretentious and didn't say anything nonsense. He just turned around and whispered in the ears of the two for a long time. Finally, he asked uncertainly, "Your points should be enough, right?"
Li Shuai had already started searching for related products in the mall as requested. Hearing her worried tone, he quickly took the time to reply, "Don't worry, I should have enough points, and I've used similar items before, which should meet your requirements."
Xiaoxue, who was standing by, was a little worried while Li Shuai was looking for something. "Your plan is a little risky. Are you sure she won't kill you right away? And what if something goes wrong..."
She didn't finish the unlucky words, but Nan Huan already understood what she meant.
"I'm fifty percent sure, but if I don't try now, I'll just be waiting to die. I still have someone I'm looking for, and I don't want to die here, so the two of you should move faster, maybe you can buy me some time."
Xiaoxue opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but finally nodded.
Li Shuai finally found what she wanted. When Nan Huan pressed the "Accept" button on her virtual panel and the other party sent a gift request, there was already one more thing in her prop warehouse.
After all this happened last night, Li Shuai had already pulled Xiaoxue and ran out of the wine cellar.
As soon as the two came out of the basement, they went straight to the third floor.
The witches fighting over there naturally wouldn't notice these two unimportant players.
Seeing that the duration of the werewolf skill was almost up, Nan Huan waved to him, "Come back, you are no longer needed, you can rest, I can handle the next thing myself."
As she spoke, the werewolf turned into a black gas and drilled into Nanhuan's virtual panel.
Before leaving, he did not forget to rub Nan Huan's wrist with his tail.
Nan Huan couldn't help but stroke the other's tail. Unexpectedly, it felt good, a little harder than a hound's hair, but still felt good.
Then she saw her virtual panel, the attribute column.
There is a werewolf logo behind the obedient puppy*1.
As if it had sensed Nan Huan's gaze, the symbol moved while holding its tail, then curled up into a ball, as if it was extremely tired, and fell asleep directly, never to move again.
It’s quite cute, Nan Huan thought to himself as he felt something flying towards him.
She knew it was the witch's scepter, and she tried her best to control herself and not step back out of instinct.
The next second, the scepter fell on Nan Huan's shoulder.
Although it wasn't as painful as Liang Yu's, with a bloody hole all at once, it was still painful.
Nan Huan lived a life of luxury and rarely fought with others, but the witch's blow made her whole body numb, and the pain didn't seem to be caused by being hit.
It seemed as if the emotion was growing from within her body, causing her teeth to chatter uncontrollably and cold sweat to immediately break out on her head.
His whole body was shaking and he was about to fall to the ground.
"Why don't you run anymore? I thought you could run a little longer. After all, I like to see my prey struggle a little longer and then show a desperate expression."
The witch's voice came from above.
Nan Huan had a slight tinnitus due to the pain and couldn't hear clearly, but he also knew that nothing good could come out of her mouth.
Just as she was falling, the witch waved her scepter in the air a few times.
In an instant, Nan Huan felt as if his wrists and ankles were entangled by something.
She struggled slightly and found that the thing seemed to be alive. It tied her tighter. Then Nan Huan simply relaxed her body.
Just as she had read in the witch book, in order to obtain eternal life, the witch needed to complete the eternal life ritual with real blood, so she concluded that the witch would not end her life with a scepter.
Then she felt as if she was being dragged up by an invisible force.
Nan Huan raised his head with great effort and saw clearly that there was a red chain around his wrist that looked like it was woven from blood.
Those things dragged her upwards until she was hanging in the middle of the wine cellar.
So that the blood-red moonlight can shine on my body.
The witch held the scepter and flew into the air effortlessly.
She was seen circling around Nan Huan with great satisfaction, as if she was checking the other person's true blood status.
Then she floated in front of Nan Huan with a weird smile and satisfaction.
He used the scepter to prop up Nan Huan, whose jaw relaxed due to the pain.
"You are the first true blood in many years. You are a miracle. You should be happy to have this honor."
She was floating a little higher than Nanhuan, looking down at Nanhuan and saying these words as if they were a gift of grace.
If Nan Huan didn't have his own plans to complete, he would definitely not sit there and wait to die while being tied up and listening to some childish declaration.
However, the distance was farther than Nan Huan had imagined, which was not very convenient, so she had to chat with the other party to get closer to him first.
"I have a question." Nan Huan endured the pain in his shoulder and tilted his head to look at the witch. "Normally, the NPCs in the game have a refresh function. In other words, although you have always existed in this game instance, for different batches of players, you should not have any previous memories. Why have you been emphasizing this for so many years?"
Nan Huan chose his words carefully, fearing that his words would be blocked like last time because they touched upon some restrictions of the game.
But maybe the system realized that she might not live long, so it didn't stop her this time, and didn't even give her a prompt.
Instead, the witch was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nan Huan thoughtfully. After a long while, she slowly leaned over and whispered in Nan Huan's ear, "You won't have the chance to know."
At the same time, the scepter had already reached Nan Huan's heart.
