Chapter 155 Escaping the Castle (8) - You keep going, I'll go first
The monster was only cut as if by a knife, with green blood flowing from the wound. Even more incredibly, the monster's wound was gradually healing.
Ning Shu knew things were going to go wrong when she saw this. She knew she couldn't win, so she attacked several times in a row, forcing her opponent to crash into another wall by the door.
Taking advantage of this gap, I wanted to slip out through the door.
This actually takes quite a bit of courage, since the corridor isn't very wide, and even if the monster is right next to the wall, the distance between the doorway and the monster is only about a meter.
If Ning Shu went out the door, she would be less than a meter away from the monster. At that distance, if the monster rammed into her, it could send her back to where she started.
She wasn't afraid of being killed, since being killed meant she could be resurrected, but she didn't want to lose the points she had worked so hard to earn—those were her lifeline!
Just in case, she activated her skills as she approached the door, unleashing a continuous barrage of attacks on the opponent, with the aim of preventing it from getting up.
Having finally made it out the door, she suddenly sensed danger approaching as she passed the monster. She ducked to avoid the large sword that came slashing down from behind.
Ning Shu turned and ran in terror, glancing back as she did so. She saw the monster, covered in wounds and dripping with green blood, chasing after her.
Only then did she realize that the other person's hands were actually two giant swords. Her flashlight had only shone on the other person's face, and she hadn't noticed the two weapons.
She desperately wanted to scream, but her throat was constricted.
Having finally overcome her psychological barrier, she immediately yelled, "Help!—"
He drew out the "ah" sound as if afraid his companions wouldn't hear it, then saw a room, and without caring what was inside, he rushed in and slammed the door shut behind him.
Before the door could even close, a knife came crashing down on her. She didn't have time to dodge and thought she was going to be back to square one.
Suddenly, I felt myself being lifted into the air, crashing into the monster and being carried outside the room, away from it.
When her feet touched the ground, she saw the sand surrounding her body leave, gradually returning her to human form and revealing Cheng Chuan's handsome face.
It turned out that Cheng Chuan had saved her; thank goodness.
Ning Shu: "Cheng Chuan, thank you, what a coincidence."
I was so happy; Cheng Chuan looked even more handsome at that moment.
Cheng Chuan turned around to look behind him and, seeing that the monster hadn't followed, replied, "You're welcome. I just happened to be in that room."
Hearing this, Ning Shu asked curiously, "Is there a safe in that room?"
Cheng Chuan shook his head: "It's an ordinary room, I didn't find anything."
Ning Shu: "I couldn't find it either. That monster seemed unkillable. My skills can usually kill NPCs in one hit."
Cheng Chuan: "That's normal. If we could kill it at will, the game wouldn't let us find objects to control it and make it help destroy the gate."
He had just tried to kill the other person, but he couldn't.
Although Ning Shu's presence affected his power, he could still normally kill a monster.
If they can't do that, it means the other party can't kill them easily, or rather, they can't kill them at all.
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She thought there were many such monsters in the castle. Could it be that there was only one?
It's a good thing, but not so good. The good thing is that there's only one, and the bad thing is that it can't be killed.
However, the other party seemed to be easily distracted and didn't follow.
What are we waiting for? We need to find the box quickly; she wants to protect her points and her "wealth".
The two went to find the safe together and came to a huge room that looked like a dining room. Apart from some decorations, there was an extra-long dining table and many chairs.
After a quick look, it seemed there was nothing worth looking for, so the two continued to other rooms, and then they heard various sounds of things being smashed.
The sound was still a bit far away from them. Ning Shu looked at Cheng Chuan and asked, "Shall we go take a look?"
Cheng Chuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "There aren't many rooms left here. Go in and see if there are any boxes. I'll go check what's going on over there."
Ning Shu thought it made sense, and to avoid having to run back to look for it later, she readily agreed: "Okay, be careful."
After the two separated, Ning Shu looked at the remaining rooms. They all seemed to be storage rooms, some for storing food, some for cleaning tools, but there were no safes.
It has to be said that wealthy families living in castles are different; even just a few cleaning tools take up a whole room. I don't know if they are really that particular or if it's just a lazy design choice in the game.
After checking that there was nothing left here, Secretary Ning got off his seat and hurried to the place where the sound had come from.
When Ning Shu arrived, he was shocked to find the place in complete disarray. Even a thief wouldn't have been this bad; you'd only get this kind of treatment if you encountered bandits.
The ground was littered with the remains of wooden tables and chairs, as well as the corpses of various tragedies, and the one fighting the monster was none other than Si Zhong.
Making such a fuss by pestering the monster is very much in line with Si Zhong's style.
Ning Shu looked at the Tang sword that Si Zhong was holding, a greatsword used against monsters, and was amazed that he hadn't been at a disadvantage. She was once again impressed by the power of the big spender.
He has the ability, the wealth, and the stunning looks; he's practically the chosen one. Aside from his less-than-ideal personality, he's practically perfect.
She had initially wanted to ask if the other person needed help, but after thinking about it, she realized she couldn't really help much, and given the other person's previous cold attitude towards her, they probably didn't want to see her.
So she said to Si Zhong, "Good luck, teammate. I'm going to find the safe. I'll leave this to you!" After saying that, she went through another exit.
The moment Ning Shu finished speaking, Si Zhong's body stiffened, because someone else had just said something similar to him.
He had just encountered a monster and was fighting fiercely, almost destroying everything in the living room, when suddenly a man appeared.
The other person stared at them for a while, just like Little Potato, then said, "Good luck, bro. I'm going to find the safe. You're in charge here!" and then ran off.
Not long after, Little Potato appeared, said the same thing as the other person, and then ran away.
They seem to be together all the time? So they're a couple? But they don't look like it...
For some reason, this question suddenly popped into Si Zhong's mind, and he suddenly thought of how Little Potato killed him in the Zombie Siege instance, which was a great humiliation.
He's not immune to death in this game; he's been killed by powerful dungeon monsters, and he accepts it.
He felt inexplicably wronged to die at the hands of a player who was weaker than him and who hadn't even engaged in melee combat.
The key point is that when he realized that the other party seemed to have accidentally killed him and did not intend to target him, he felt even more hateful.
