The feeling of the sword cutting into the bone is very clear.
Lin Qin With a flip of his wrist, the bright knight's neck was broken. Hot blood flowed out and splashed on his arm.
Behind him, golden flames swept through the entire stronghold. The wooden buildings crackled in the flames. That was the dragon breath of Pallas.
A man wearing a priest's robe wanted to run out of the back door. Lin Qin raised his foot and kicked up a broken sword on the ground. The broken sword flew over and nailed the priest's vest. The priest fell to the ground, Immovable.
The battle ended quickly. There were no more living people in the stronghold.
Pallas folded its wings and landed next to him. The huge dragon head lowered its head and looked at him with golden eyes.
"They are all small characters." Pallas's voice rang directly in his head.
Lin Qin said nothing. He walked to the priest's body, squatted down and rummaged around. He only found a few gold coins and an unfinished letter. The letter contained daily reports and no useful information.
He stood up and looked around. The fire was still burning. This stronghold, like the ones he had destroyed before, was just the outermost abandoned one.
"Let's go." He said to Pallas.
He jumped onto the dragon's back. Pallas spread his wings, suddenly took off, and left the burning ruins.
They were flying above the clouds. The wind was so strong that Lin Qin's clothes rustled.
"Where is the next target?" Pallas asked.
Lin Qin closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the dragon scales. He was sensing Pulsation on the earth below. Since refining Heart of the Earth, he has been particularly sensitive to energy fluctuations.
"Three hundred miles to the southeast." He opened his eyes, "There is a laboratory of Dark Church."
Pallas adjust the direction and speed up.
Half an hour later, they landed in a hidden valley. There was a magical disguise at the entrance of the valley, but it was in vain under Lin Qin's perception.
"Go in directly?" Pallas asked.
Lin Qin shook his head. "This time I am in the light and you are in the dark."
He jumped off the dragon's back and walked toward the valley alone. Pallas gathered his breath and disappeared into the clouds.
There were two guards at the entrance of the valley, wearing black cloaks. When they saw Lin Qin, they immediately raised their staffs.
"Stop!"
Lin Qin kept walking. The guard began to chant a spell, and dark energy condensed on the top of the staff.
Just when the spell was about to be completed, two golden lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the guards accurately on their heads. They fell down without even screaming.
Lin Qin walked into the valley. It was larger than expected, with many rooms carved out of the rock wall. Several people in black robes were busy, and they were stunned when they saw Lin Qin.
"Who?" An older dark mage stepped forward, the staff in his hand flashing with dangerous light.
Lin Qin didn't answer, and took action directly. He punched the ground, and the whole valley was shaking. The rocks on the rock wall fell rustlingly, and several dark mages were unsteady on their feet.
"Enemy attack!" someone shouted.
More dark mages rushed out of the room. They began to chant, and black mist filled the valley.
Lin Qin advanced instead of retreating, charging into the black mist. The mist was poisonous, but it was ineffective against Dragonblood Warrior. He entered the flock like a tiger, knocking down an enemy accurately with every punch.
A dark mage tried to summon undead creatures. As soon as he raised his staff, Lin Qin was already in front of him and crushed his wrist.
"Ah!" the mage screamed.
Lin Qin threw him aside and moved on. What he was looking for was the core of the laboratory.
The deepest room had a heavy iron door. Lin Qin kicked it open, and the scene inside made him frown.
Several living people were tied to the experimental table, with tubes inserted all over their bodies. The vessels next to them contained various organs. The strong smell of blood hit their faces.
"Stop!" A mage in white robes was in front of the operating table. When he saw Lin Qin breaking in, he backed away in panic.
Lin Qin scanned the room. In addition to the white-robed mage, there were two assistants. They were too frightened to move.
"Where is the antidote?" Lin Qin asked.
The white-robed mage pointed to a cabinet tremblingly. Lin Qin walked over and opened the cabinet door, which was filled with potions.
He took out a bottle and walked to an experimental table. On the table was a young woman who was dying. Lin Qin poured the medicine into her mouth.
The woman's breathing gradually stabilized.
Lin Qin gave medicine to several other people, and then turned to the white-robed mage. "Who instigated this?"
"Yes... it's the Bishop..." the mage stammered.
"Name."
"I don't know his real name... They all call him 'Black Hand'..."
Lin Qin frowned. This is obviously a code name.
He asked no more questions and turned to leave. When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "Take these people and leave. If you let me see you doing this kind of experiment again, you will die."
The white-robed mage nodded repeatedly.
Lin Qin walked out of the valley, and Pallas was already waiting outside.
"Is it solved?" Long asked.
"Yeah." Lin Qin jumped on the dragon's back, "Let's go to the next place."
They were flying in the air. Lin Qin closed his eyes and rested, digesting the information he had just received.
"That 'Black Hand', have you heard of it?" he asked Pallas.
Long thought for a moment, "No. But those who can use this code name have a high status in Dark Church."
Lin Qin nodded. He felt that he was approaching a certain core.
On the third day, they found a larger stronghold. This time it was Radiant Church. It was built inside a mountain and the entrance was extremely hidden.
"I'm in front this time." Pallas said, "You look for an opportunity to go in."
Lin Qin agreed. He jumped off the dragon's back and hid in the woods. Pallas rushed directly towards the mountain and breathed out the dragon's breath.
The rock melted, revealing the metal door inside. The alarm sounded loudly, and a group of Temple Knight rushed out.
Pallas hovered in the air, suppressing them with dragon breath. Taking this opportunity, Lin Qin sneaked in from the side.
The inside of the mountain is very large, like Maze. Lin Qin relied on its perception of energy fluctuations to quickly find the core area.
This is a command center, and several senior priests are busy. Seeing Lin Qin, they were all stunned.
"Lin Qin!" exclaimed a cardinal, "How did you find this place?"
Lin Qin didn't answer and took action directly. He punched the ground, causing everyone to lose their balance due to the shock.
"Stop him!" shouted the cardinal.
Several Paladin rushed up. Their strength was much stronger than that of the soldiers outside, but they were still not enough in front of Lin Qin.
Lin Qin shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, each strike precise and fatal. Soon, the ground was covered with corpses.
The cardinal wanted to run, but Lin Qin appeared in front of him instantly.
"What are you looking for?" Lin Qin asked.
The bishop turned pale. "I don't know what you are talking about..."
Lin Qin pinched his neck. "Ask me one last time."
"It's... it's an artifact..." the bishop said with difficulty, "The legendary artifact that can purify all darkness..."
Lin Qin frowned. This answer was beyond his expectation.
"Where?"
"I don't know... we are also looking for..."
Lin Qin let go of his hand, and the bishop collapsed on the ground.
He looked around. This command center was well-equipped and obviously an important stronghold. But compared to the answer he was looking for, it was still not enough.
"Send a message to your superior." Lin Qin said to the bishop, "I will find him."
After saying that, he turned and left. Outside, Pallas had cleared away all resistance.
"Is there any harvest?" Long asked.
"One point." Lin Qin jumped on the dragon's back, "Go to the next one."
They continued to shuttle around Chaos Territory, clearing one stronghold after another. Each time they were quick and decisive, leaving no survivors alive. Soon, the evil name of "Dragon Knight" spread throughout the territory.
