Chapter 242: Pushing The Cart To Pick Up Supplies All The Way
A shrill roar echoed through the narrow corridor.
The White Crystal Blade in Yu Jiang’s hand easily pierced into the vampire’s body.
No automatic healing, health bar didn’t recover either. Realizing this, Yu Jiang’s mouth corners slowly curved upward.
If it can be killed, then no problem.
Taking advantage of the vampire’s injury, she twisted the bayonet in her hand and stabbed two more times.
Even as the vampire tried to tempt her again in panic, the ugly monster in front of her suddenly turned into a figure comparable to a marble sculpture, with delicate features carrying a full sense of brokenness, like a pure youth from Western mythology.
People all like beautiful things, always extra tolerant and pitying toward pretty creatures.
But Yu Jiang was like someone who had killed fish at Da Run Fa for ten years, heart colder than a knife, her kidney-stabbing motions clean and efficient.
This is a monster, it’s hunting humans, no matter how pretty, it won’t do. Compared to clearance rewards and the strength in her hands, its temptation was worth nothing.
No person or other thing can block her path.
Bleeding and Weakness buffs useless on it, but critical hits from the weapon upgraded with White Crystal had excellent effects.
Yu Jiang was flung away with great force, crashing into the stone wall at the same time the vampire looked at the bayonet stabbed into its chest, mouth opening to the limit, emitting a painful terrified scream.
That translucent bayonet under the dim light refracted icy lustrous sheen from the natural crystals within.
The vampire’s body began to burn and disintegrate, finally becoming a charred corpse that scattered with the wind, leaving only a few broken black bones.
Yu Jiang steadied herself against the wall, picking up her weapon and turning to run before the monsters behind caught up.
This thing is very fierce, good thing in the second before being flung away, she forcefully pushed the bayonet deeper into its body.
That earlier scream was very off, probably signaling its kin.
1v1 she was confident she could handle, if a group rushed up, she’d oil her soles and run.
Passing the kitchen, there were quite a few loaves of bread by the stone oven that burned raw firewood.
Grids in crisis, no need for firewood, take the bread.
Yu Jiang ran while taking out the supermarket cart, pushing it to run while throwing all the baskets of bread into it, freeing up a few grids this way.
The rumbling sound of the cart wheels echoed in the corridor, Yu Jiang’s movements quick, as if she wasn’t fleeing but shopping at the supermarket.
Flour, White Sugar, salt, jam, rosemary and such, everywhere her cart passed was completely looted.
One cart full, she swapped out a new one, even taking the iron tongs for the fire.
A string of vampire curses at her floated in the system message.
“What is she doing!”
“She even took the sack! Catch her!”
“Aaaah!!! She’s turned the manor into a mess!”
Yu Jiang stowed the cart, charging forward without looking back, not even knowing which direction she was going or which way the paths led.
If couldn’t dodge attacks, use Protective Shield card, vampires not only had strength far exceeding humans, quick healing ability, but also fast speed.
It was also the narrow Underground Level One built of stone that restricted their activity area, or she would’ve been gang-beaten.
Yu Jiang glanced at the High Tower position on the map, this instance map only had standard buildings, blank in the middle, no specific routes, had to find them herself.
She was already very close to the High Tower, but no path, chose wrong at the fork ahead.
Nothing unluckier than this, two choices and neither bet right.
Yu Jiang sighed, used a bottle of Qi Replenishing Drink, turned back swinging the bayonet, resigned to killing back to the fork.
This time the path was right, but another problem arose.
In front was an ancient wooden door sealed by a rune lock, by the routine, had to go back to find the key.
Yu Jiang directly pulled out the crowbar, what broken lock, she’d see how many hammer blows it could withstand.
So the reason she assigned tasks, letting teammates search the more spacious bright upper levels of the castle, while she handled the underground level.
If it were someone else blocked here, still needing to pick the lock, they’d lose a layer of skin even if not dying.
Bang bang bang!
Yu Jiang directly smashed off the lock, smashed the door, kicked flying the last few broken wooden boards with one foot.
Behind the door was a blocking stone mechanism device, normal method to unlock would take plenty of brains and time, plus someone to assist blocking the monsters behind.
Getting instance items really isn’t easy.
Choking dust came head-on, the handicraft shop style wooden frame in the service area was suspiciously clean.
Yu Jiang looked up, that was High Tower level one, still impassable.
But from this angle, normally standing in High Tower level one shouldn’t see the clue, it’s the system doing it, making survivors come to the instance for missions, giving rewards, while sneakily leaving clues to counter monsters.
Hearing sounds behind, Yu Jiang stopped thinking, taking the wooden box on the frame.
[Player obtained instance item ‘Holy Water’*2, using it deals true damage to monsters, and monsters’ damage received cannot quickly self-heal within 10 seconds.]
[Player obtained item ‘Legendary Wooden Stake’, soaked in saint’s blood, condensed with faith’s power, can suppress all evil
(Attack not exceeding 90, Defense not exceeding 60, not recommended to challenge BOSS)]
One bottle of Holy Water with good positioning can hit two, but not much use, too many monsters in the manor.
Other places should have ‘Holy Water’ too, even if all found, probably not enough, don’t know if works on BOSS.
Yu Jiang gripped the bayonet in one hand, Holy Water in the other to daze the vampire ahead, killing outward while sending a voice message in the team channel,
“Found Holy Water keep it if you can, if not use it no problem.”
Yu Jiang simply explained her situation, and agreed on a rendezvous spot with everyone.
“Manor this messed up, BOSS probably coming out soon, everyone be careful.” Yu Jiang warned again.
“Got it! I’ve found 1 bottle of Holy Water, still doing parkour.” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy’s voice mixed with panting and screams, both human and monster.
“That violinist still chasing me, and another team, they’re also crushed running everywhere finding items, just grabbed 1 bottle first, didn’t even warm it up before using, only killed a small monster.”
She guessed Yu Jiang wanted to save Holy Water for BOSS, tone full of regret mentioning the missed bottle.
Lightning Mage King: “I just got bitten, lost 70 HP, good thing I had Advanced Healing Potion, these elite monsters and minions, some were probably original residents who fled here before.
I picked up a yellowed photograph, inside a family of five, but at the banquet only saw the young woman from the photo, the violinist.”
Yu Jiang forcefully stabbed the bayonet into the vampire ahead, shake off restraints, slightly calm breathing, casually wiped blood off the blade with picked-up coarse hemp cloth.
Shi Xu’s voice rang in the team channel, “Got it, found BOSS position, in the castle’s highest room, there’s a coffin, can’t open, system prompt it wakes in half an hour, garden behind this room ‘picture’.”
