Chapter 141 The Legend of the Clock Tower Man

Chapter 141 The Legend of the Clock Tower Man

As the legend says, the ruins of Dawn City are full of dangers.

After the first wave of giant bat swarms attacked and lost a few people, the hunting group encountered several waves of monster attacks later, and there were also casualties.

There was another wave in which they encountered monsters that even Su Lun found a little tricky.

It was a humanoid aberration with four legs and sharp claws, and a brain growing outside. It burst out of the mist like lightning, then killed people and rushed back into the mist. The speed is so fast that ordinary gunmen don't even have a chance to pull the trigger, and they disappear again.

The identification information showed that it was a monster [Telewalker] transformed by an assassin professional.

Fortunately, there is a Tier 2 professional in the team.

After a few people died, Bloom, the leader of the "War Knife Group", chased into the fog and solved the monster, which relieved the crisis.

However, the good news is that the monsters in the ruins are very strong, and the probability of producing cursed materials is very high.

Even a small group like the "drunkard group" that followed the big army gained a lot of materials.

And for Su Lun, the super high concentration of dark spiritual power in this ruin made his breathing stronger!

The distance that could normally be covered in three or two hours ended up taking half a day.

In the afternoon, they finally came to the "Red Brick Tower Block" marked on the map.

The buildings in Dawn City are a mix of various styles. This is a cross street. To the east is a dilapidated red brick tower, which looks like an ancient bell tower. With spires, flying buttresses and some broken stained glass, it's distinctly Gothic.

The monastery where the witch's hair was found is on the west side, which is also dilapidated, but it is domed in Romanesque style. The main building is white, but the main hall and corridors have collapsed in large areas.

Su Lun glanced at it with the Eye of Omniscience, and it showed [a dilapidated monastery].

There are no special tips.

Judging from the known information, there must be a "Weeping Demon" hunting and killing humans nearby.

Someone found a dead body near here before, and took away the hair strands from the dead body alive. That is to say, the female demon may be a wandering wild monster, or it may be a cursed space triggered by special conditions.

Su Lun didn't dare to be careless, and didn't get close to the monastery.

Then he looked down at his hands, made an awkward finger twisting motion, and looked around again. Then he lowered his head and repeated it twice, his brows relaxed, he confirmed something in his heart, squinted his eyes and muttered: "It's not a dream."

He hadn't forgotten that the "Weeping Witch" was good at killing people in dreams.

And even if Su Lun wanted to get close to the monastery, he couldn't get close.

Because the second-tier head of the "War Knife Group" has already started to send a team to investigate the situation in the monastery.

Others didn't know what they were doing, but Su Lun knew it very well.

They are a wild hunting group funded by the Oliver family. The purpose of this trip is to find clues for the "Weeping Witch" for the young master Danzer, and the dilapidated monastery has also become a key search target.

But Su Lun thinks this is also very good.

If someone detects mines for him, at least he can first figure out what kind of existence that witch is.

Arriving near the predetermined destination, each hunting group started their own search missions.

Because the "drunkard group" belongs to the United Wilderness Hunting Equality Pact Group, they can move freely after arriving at their destination.

Benson greeted the team members and also Su Lun: "Let's go, Brother Johnny, let's go and look for a few buildings over there."

You can't go to the monastery, there are still a lot of buildings around you.

Although there have been wild hunters here, no one can guarantee that the treasures will be scraped off the way others have walked.

Hunting is actually similar to panning for gold. To find gold in the rubble, you need enough patience and luck.

And because the city was destroyed suddenly, the ruins preserved many living items of the residents of the city a thousand years ago.

Maybe there are undiscovered cellars, jewelry boxes in the collapsed rubble, private money buried in the ground

As long as you look for it patiently, you will always find something.

With that said, Benson led the team members to unload their backpacks and tents, and began to hunt for treasure lightly.

The concentration of fog on the street is very low now, and I can see quite far away, and I haven't found any monsters.

Everyone dispersed and went to find the baby based on experience.

It was the first time Tommy came hunting in such a dangerous place, and he seemed very excited. But instead of following Benson, he turned his head to look at Su Lun beside him, and asked, "Mr. Johnny, can I come with you?"

Su Lun asked curiously, "Why?"

Tommy's eyes turned sharply: "Because I think it's safer to be with you!"

Su Lun smiled, this kid is quite smart, "It's up to you."

Hearing his agreement, Tommy smiled happily, and shouted to Benson who had already walked across the street: "Dad, I'm with Mr. Johnny!"

Benson didn't care either, and waved his hand: "Okay!"

Su Lun is not very interested in hunting for treasures. He is not short of money for the time being, so the search is very perfunctory.

And because he knew that there were "Weeping Witches" nearby, he kept observing these ruins, trying to see if there was any problem.

Not long after, the hunting team had a harvest.

Suddenly there was a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha I found a money box!"

The one who spoke was Bernal, a legal warlock in Benson's team who was good at "seeking gold".

That kind of rare auxiliary spell has no combat effectiveness, but it is perfect for finding buried metal. Casting spells all the way, just like a humanoid metal detector.

Benson also smiled and said, "Oh, not bad."

A small box of ancient silver coins can probably sell for one hundred and eighty thousand.

It was a good start, and everyone in the drunkard group was very excited.

Su Lun and Tommy also found a building and plunged into it.

This street was scraped by the previous wild hunters. If you want to find the treasure, you have to dig deep into the things buried in the ruins or hidden in more hidden places.

If you don't know the special spell of "gold hunting", you need to spend a lot of energy.

Su Lun was very salty, leading Tommy, a novice, and two "amateur-level" wild hunters wandered around in the ruined building.

He didn't expect to find any treasure at first, but he found that Tommy's ability in treasure hunting is actually very good!

The two came to a collapsed pile of rocks. Tommy seemed to sense something, and suddenly stopped, pointing to the ground and said: "Mr. Johnny, I think there seems to be something under you."

Su Lun: "What?"

Tommy frowned, as if he was trying to perceive something, and said, "I don't know, it's just a feeling."

"Okay, then dig and have a look."

Listening to this description, Su Lun became more and more curious about what kind of talent this guy had awakened.

Prophet? Not quite.

Thinking it was okay anyway, the two started digging.

Because of the mechanical arm assistance, the digging is also extremely fast.

After they threw away the broken bricks, they actually found an alchemy staff inlaid with a blue gemstone.

Probably there should be a corpse next to the staff, but the years have decayed it into a pool of yellow-brown marks.

Tommy exclaimed excitedly: "Wow, Mr. Johnny, we really found a treasure!"

Su Lun appraised it. Although it has been too long, the rune effect of this staff has dissipated, but the material alone is worth a lot. He said: "The inlaid on this staff is the 'Broken Star Gemstone', such a large piece, the price of the auction house will not be less than 800,000."

Tommy's eyes lit up when he heard the price, "Wow, we found 800,000 now?!"

Su Lun also found it incredible: "Yes."

But at this time, he suddenly discovered something, suddenly drew his gun like lightning, and pulled the trigger towards a black figure crawling in from the ceiling behind him.

There was a "bang" gunshot.

A monster fell in response.

Before Tommy could react, he watched an anamorphic lizard crawling on the ceiling and falling from the top of his head.

Gunshots sounded from time to time, and some sporadic aberration monsters hidden in the buildings were killed by wild hunters. But there is no large-scale battle movement, which means that there are not many monsters and there is no threat.

This made Su Lun feel more careful.

This situation is not normal in Dawn City where aberrant monsters go shopping in groups. It's probably like an area where there are tigers, there will be few other animal groups.

Su Lun and Tommy wandered around the ruins, and after a while, they came to the collapsed red brick tower.

This place has been searched many times, and there is probably nothing of value left.

At this time, Tommy discovered something again, pointing to the collapsed building and said, "Mr. Johnny, why do I think that clock tower is a bit strange?"

Hearing this, Su Lun also became interested. Tommy said "feeling", and nine out of ten there is a problem.

This is a square bell tower, and the erosion of the years has left only a base of seven or eight meters. Looking at the rubble on the ground, Su Lun reckoned that the building would be at least 100 meters high when it was intact.

In addition to the broken bricks and stones on the ground, there are also some broken and rusted oversized clock parts.

For example, a giant bell that looks to weigh more than ten tons.

Although it is metal, no one can take it away, and there is no need to take it away. This thing is worthless.

Su Lun focused his eyes on the collapsed ruins and identified them one by one, but found nothing unusual.

With doubts, he turned around and asked, "Tommy, what do you think is the problem?"

Tommy thought about it, and said, "That bell."

"."

Su Lun frowned when he heard this, and stared at the bell weighing more than ten tons again, wanting to discover something.

From beginning to end, from inside to outside, almost no detail was spared.

He even deliberately looked at the rust shape.

However, after watching for a few minutes, I still didn't find any clues.

No matter how you look at it, it shows [an old rusted bell].

"Could it be that some kind of special condition is needed to see the peculiarities?"

Su Lun thought of the cursed space at No. 88 Ginkgo Street before, and it only existed if he thought about it.

Or. Tommy's perception was wrong?

When the two of them were circling around the bell, Su Lun didn't notice that a ten-member team from the "War Knife Regiment" who was going to investigate the monastery suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

A few seconds later, the huge bell in front of Su Lun, which looked the same before, suddenly identified different information.

【Legend of the Hunchback of the Notre Dame】

Detailed Explanation: A cursed space with a special trigger method, it will only appear when the Weeping Witch appears. Ring the bell, and the space will involve people who hear the bell within 100 meters nearby; normally, this is a cursed space with a dangerous level of A level, but it is a D level for you. Enter the clock tower, fulfill the last wish of the weirdo, and you will be able to come out. Special reminder, don't let him feel your disgust, or it will anger 'it'.

"Is it really a special trigger?!"

Su Lun looked at the message, his mind racing.

However, the identified information showed that this was not the cursed space of the Weeping Witch he had predicted.

Is it an accompanying space that only appears when a witch appears? ? ?

Su Lun frowned as he looked at it. It was only D-level, which meant there was almost no danger.

Before he could think about it, at this very moment, Su Lun heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground nearby.

Tommy on the side also exclaimed: "Mr. Johnny, look quickly, there are a lot of corpses here!"

Su Lun's gaze followed the trend, and not far away, ten corpses appeared out of thin air!

"Huh"

Su Lun's eyes froze, and he immediately realized what was going on.

The corpses appeared out of thin air, which meant that they were excluded from the cursed space.

He looked at his hand again and made a strange finger-twisting motion.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing abnormal, "It's not a dream."

Then I looked around with the pupil of omniscience, and there was nothing unusual.

All ten corpses had regimental emblems on their bodies, which was a bloody saber. And these faces are somewhat familiar, aren't they from the "War Knife Group"? Su Lun still remembered that this seemed to be the "Seventh Squad" of the Sword Squad.

The face of the corpse was peaceful, but there were a few crystal clear silk threads piercing through the body.

"Weeping Witch!"

Su Lun immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder the [Legend of the Hunchback of Notre Dame] cursed space appeared, and its trigger condition was the appearance of a witch!

Su Lun noticed this, and looked towards the monastery suddenly, "It's not a wild monster, that is to say, there is also a cursed space that is specially triggered!"

At this moment, Tommy also found the silver hair. Curiously, he pulled out one from the corpse and asked, "Mr. Johnny, what do you think this is?"

Su Lun naturally knew this thing.

However, there were nearly thirty strands of hair on these ten corpses, which was more than all of Su Lun's hands combined.

Only then did he realize that the original hair came from this way.

However, this thing is not easy to hold.

Just as Tommy was pulling hair from the corpse, a group of people nearby also saw something and walked over quickly. A long distance away, the captain in the lead stopped Tommy's continued twitching in a cold voice: "Boy, you can't touch that thing!"

Hearing this tone, Tommy trembled with fright, and stood on the spot at a loss what to do.

As Su Lun listened, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Originally, Su Lun didn't expect to get these strands of hair by normal means.

After all, these ten fresh corpses were all members of the "War Knife Group". Naturally, they would not allow outsiders to take the things that they risked their lives to test out.

but

What's the matter with this "maliciousness" that hangs over your back?

Su Lun looked up and looked at a team of people. He remembered correctly that it was the second team of the "War Knife Squad".

Tommy on the side was a little puzzled and asked, "Captain Collins, what do you mean?"

Collins naturally recognized Su Lun and the others as members of the "drunkard group", but looking at the corpse, he seemed very irritable, "I said don't touch these damn silk threads!"

Tommy's little face flushed red, and he argued, "We didn't say we would take it."

At this moment, Collins lost all patience and glared at Tommy and Su Lun: "Get lost!"

That adult gave a death order, and this time he must find the "Weeping Witch", or a sufficient number of strands of hair.

Otherwise, even if all the members of their regiment die here, they cannot go back!

It is not enough now!

It also means that there must be people who will continue to die!

Su Lun, who was silent on the side, had already confirmed something at this moment, and greeted Tommy beside him with his usual expression, "Let's go, Tommy."

After he turned around, the expression under the mask suddenly became playful, "Maliciousness has turned into killing intent. It seems that I guessed it right."

When Su Lun came here before, he wondered why the hunting group of the Oliver family had enough strength to bring three scattered people out together.

It is said to take care of each other, but in fact, there is no need for the "Sword Squad" with second-tier professionals to bring out some scattered groups that "do not obey the command" regardless of their combat power or equipment.

The most reasonable explanation is that these guys have bad intentions, not human feelings.

Otherwise, they knew that there was a "Weeping Witch" haunting here, but they didn't reveal the news at all.

Probably also holding multiple teams and having more people go to thunder.

After all, a completely unknown cursed space is to be explored with one's life.

Just like the ten corpses in front of you.

Judging from the situation, Captain Benson was also attacked by "acquaintances". (Before I wasn’t sure there must be a witch here. There is nowhere else in the ruins that is safer than here. I am still an acquaintance. It is meaningless to remind Benson.)

But even if he guessed some signs in advance, Su Lun followed.

One is that he feels that he has to come and see anyway, and it doesn't matter who comes.

Second, the other party was really malicious, and Su Lun also felt that it was just a good time to reap a wave of experience and spoils.

With the Abominable Zombie and the Black Scythe in hand, the "Battle Knife Group" was not enough to make him feel an irresistible threat.

Now that the corpse appears out of thin air, it means that they have figured out how to trigger the "cursed space of the Weeping Witch".

Looking at the malice turned into killing intent, the intention is self-evident.

However, killing people "inexplicably" like this doesn't seem too good.

The opponent has a large number of people, and if they fight head-on, Su Lun may not be able to take advantage of it.

And although his conjectures are all true, after all, "malicious perception" is hard to explain.

When the time comes to really do something about it, I'm afraid the scattered groups will still look confused and don't know who to help.

Unless it was a last resort, Su Lun didn't want to be hostile to these scattered hunters who didn't know.

But he didn't intend to wait for someone to point the gun to the head before doing it.

So, he thought of another way.

He ignored the corpse, walked straight to the huge bell, took out an iron tool, and rang the bell violently.

"Boom"

Since it is inconvenient to kill people here.

Then change places.

Moreover, Su Lun felt that he might have caught some important clues about the "Weeping Witch", so he had to go to this cursed space to take a look.

I must have caught a cold and felt dizzy. There was something wrong with the writing in the second chapter, and I couldn't correct it. Try to make up for it tomorrow.
