Black Technology System: Beast Hunter

Chapter 40 Escape

Somewhere in the Ghost Tower.

"Snapped."

The fluffy tail was swinging rhythmically, whipping on the ground paved with boulders, making a crisp sound.

The owner of the tail is a giant golden tiger-striped beast. He is lying in a huge lair at this time. His head is slightly raised, and he is staring at the golden vertical pupils somewhere in the void. A faint light appears from time to time. .

"Now the little mice are getting worse and worse. It's really not as good as the next generation."

The giant tiger-striped beast yawned, and muttered something bored, and was about to erase the scene in front of it, when its raised paws suddenly stopped in the air, as if it saw something that could be.

"This little chubby mouse looks familiar..." Scratching its chin twice with its paws, the giant tiger-striped beast tilted its head and narrowed its pupils, as if remembering something.

……

The core area of ​​the Ghost Tower.

The two ponytails found the hidden door of the bookstore, happily stepped in, and immediately came face to face with the people inside.

It was a man in a white coat with a strange expression. He was standing less than five meters away from her with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with an extremely uncomfortable gaze, as if a miser had seen a golden mountain, full of greed. and excitement, and other indescribable dark emotions.

Behind this person was a tall stone door. A man with a broad sword was facing away from her, standing in front of the stone door. A light loomed in front of him, as if he was breaking the formation.

The loyal man followed her closely. When he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately became alert. He held the long black stick across his chest and winked at the twin tails.

The twin tails immediately understood, leaned slightly, and jumped back.

"Want to run?" The white-robed man laughed strangely, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed straight at him.

His speed was so fast that the twin tails had no time to react. The other party had already bypassed the loyal man and appeared in front of her. His hand stretched out like an eagle's talon and grabbed her.

"Let's go." Before the pair of ponytails exclaimed, the loyal man suddenly turned around, swept the long stick, and smashed the white-robed man's back with such force that he even made a sharp sound of piercing through the air.

The white-robed man sneered, bent over and retreated, easily dodged the attack from behind, then raised his foot and kicked the honest man.

The loyal man raised his stick to block it, only to hear a loud bang, he flew upside down, and the long stick came out of his hand.

Just when the man in white robe was about to take action again, the twin ponytails who had retreated outside raised his hand and threw a soft rope, catching the loyal man in mid-air.

"Hehe." The white-robed man sneered twice, raised his right hand, moved his index finger slightly, and several silver threads as thin as a cow's hair shot out quickly, sinking into the bodies of the two of them in an instant.

"Hmm." The black thread entered the body, and the loyal man let out a muffled groan. His twin ponytails also trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and suddenly withdrew his strength, pulling the loyal man towards the open door.

"Are you able to run away?" The white-robed man flickered, and the loyal man came forward, and at some point there was a sharp knife in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, he slashed at him.

His target was the twin tails, and he naturally had no intention of sparing the loyal man. This knife was a direct killing move. It was powerful and fast as lightning. With one strike, the loyal man would be cut into two pieces immediately.

Seeing that his brother was in danger, the twin-tailed man suddenly turned red and rushed forward desperately.

Just when the blade was about to cut through the loyal man's body, the white-robed man suddenly felt an invisible resistance, and his movements froze.

At the same time, the loyal man seemed to be pushed by an invisible big hand, and fell straight forward.

The pair of ponytails jumped up, hugged her brother, and rushed out of the bookstore without looking back.

"Tsk." The white-robed man frowned slightly, seeing the two running into the passage outside, he was about to catch up with a slight movement of his body.

"Don't make extra troubles." The broad sword man who hadn't spoken all this time reminded.

Their target this time is the ghost Earl's manuscript. Although so far, they have not encountered interference in deciphering the secret treasure formation, the situation in the ghost tower is complicated. In addition to the elusive skeleton corps, it is said that there is also an extremely powerful The existence of mysterious behemoths must proceed with caution.

"It's just two little bugs, it won't take much trouble."

At this moment, the man in white robe only wanted to grab the twin ponytails. He couldn't listen to anything else. He responded casually, ducked, and rushed out.

……

In the passage that seemed to have no end, the loyal man was supported by twin ponytails as he staggered forward while trying to find the exit.

The formation in the central area of ​​the ghost tower has been constantly changing. The entrance they found before has disappeared. Now if they want to leave, they must find the mechanism again.

But I don't know what method the white-robed man used. Although the two of them were not seriously injured, their strength was rapidly losing, and their walking speed was getting slower and slower.

Especially the loyal man, more than half of the black thread shot by the white-robed man just now fell on his body. At this time, his legs were stiff, and he couldn't even stand firmly, almost relying on the ponytails to support him.

Since the two of them could remember, they had gone through rivers and seas to drill mountains and dig holes, and they had never been in such a mess. The more anxious they were, the more they couldn't sense anything. Seeing that the white-robed man was chasing after them, they hadn't left this passage yet.

"Sister, leave me alone, you go first." The honest man struggled a few times, trying to shake off his ponytails.

The two ponytails didn't speak, just kept tugging at him, and walked forward, suddenly his eyes lit up, he rushed to the wall, raised his hand and slapped hard somewhere, and suddenly a ray of light lit up.

"Quick, quick."

Amidst the light, a stone door appeared on the wall, and the two ponytails were impatient. While looking back at the white-robed man who was approaching quickly, they kept praying for the door to open quickly.

When the white-robed man was less than three meters away from the two of them, the stone gate finally opened slowly. The two ponytails dragged the honest man up and rushed in. The white-robed man's eyes burst into a cold light, and he also dodged and jumped into the stone gate .

……

After finally getting rid of another wave of skeleton soldiers, Zhao Dong and the four others were defeated.

Among them, Hu Fenglin was the most seriously injured. The sharp bone knife cut a long cut in his back. If Zhao Dong hadn't blocked another knife in time, he would have almost lost his life.

Seeing that the doorway on the wall disappeared, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, sitting or standing, breathing calmly and rapidly.

After recovering for a while, Ye Lan took out the first aid kit and treated Hu Fenglin's wound.

"This is going to be troublesome." Tearing off the clothes on his back, Ye Lan found that the wound was black and blue, and there was a pungent smell.

"This is corpse poison." Duan Muqing came over and said with just a glance.

"The antidote we brought can't cure it." Ye Lan couldn't help frowning.

Before departure, she prepared all the potions. Because they were going into the wild, she only considered common toxins such as insects and snakes. It was impossible for them to expect that they would be besieged by skeleton soldiers.

Moreover, the one who injured Hu Fenglin just now was the ghost military counselor wearing a black cloak. Those commonly used corpse poison potions would not be effective at all.

Now, even Zhao Dong started to frown. He also has some powerful potions on his body, which are self-configured according to the prescription provided by the system. Originally, he thought that he would have no worries about what kind of situation he encountered during this mission, but He has nothing to do with corpse poison.

Hu Fenglin was a little unconscious at this moment, his body twitched slightly while lying on the ground, obviously in a very bad condition, when the two of them were in a hurry, Duan Muqing snapped his fingers and said with a relaxed expression.

"It's just a corpse poison, let Xiaohong spit fire and it will be solved."
