Abyssal Corridor / The Bloodsaw Maniac Delivers a Gift at the Door

After delivering the items, Meng Xi didn't try to persuade Ling Mengxue any further and obediently lay back down.

Only after everyone had left did she secretly take out another 'Guardian Crystal'.

That's right. In addition to its protective function, the matching 'Twin Energy Field' allows two people to clearly know each other's location and movement trajectory if they hold it separately and carefully sense it.

However, Brother Ling didn't notice anything when he took it, and obviously didn't intend to use it. He just wanted to put her at ease, otherwise he would have known by now.

Without giving it much thought, Meng Xi took the unused bottle of 'Strength Potion' and the 'Soul Lamp' on the table and began to secretly make a plan.

If I wait a little longer and keep my distance from Brother Ling, I shouldn't be discovered.

Sitting at her desk, Meng Xi's hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders. A wave of helplessness washed over her. She lowered her head and murmured, "I'm sorry, Brother Ling. I'm worried. I have to go check on things. If something really goes wrong, it doesn't matter if we die together. I don't care..."

Click--

After leaving the dormitory, Ling Mengxue's warm expression suddenly turned cold, and she performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

There was no energy to think about anything else. According to the rules of the dungeon, players are prohibited from going out at night, let alone leaving the dormitory building.

Beneath the blood moon Red Purgatory; outside the core area of the manor, every corner of the darkness may be teeming with Abyssal Predator.

This is especially true in the rest areas where players gather.

Some ghosts and monsters come out to hunt for food when they're hungry, hoping to get a midnight snack. There are probably quite a few of these on this floor alone.

The dark, deep corridor was eerily silent, so quiet that just one glance was enough to send chills down your spine and send shivers down your spine.

If you have a vivid imagination, you'll never know if there's a pair of eyes watching you from the shadows of the night.

Oh no, perhaps there really are many pairs...

Ling Mengxue calmed herself down, her expression gradually turning icy cold, no longer showing any ripples.

At that moment, she seemed to transform into a cold-blooded killer devoid of emotion.

Walking alone in a dark world, it's impossible not to feel afraid. It's not a matter of strength, but a sense of oppression from the depths of one's soul, something ingrained in one's very being.

I guess I've been watching too many horror movies~ (?óò?)

However, as long as you discard all emotions, even the last trace of heart palpitation will gradually fade away.

Ling Mengxue didn't hesitate much. She turned around and used a short-distance Spatial Instant Shift, and the next second she found herself in another dark place.

"In this situation, guns are clearly unsuitable for use, and I wonder if the Fate Mall has anything like a silencer..."

To avoid being exposed, she did not choose to use weapons such as the 'Astral Engraving Blade' that only Astral Mark Girl possessed, but instead took out the long-lost purple longsword, 'Flower Shadow'.

It's an ancient sword of Epic Tier quality, and it even seems to come with an enchantment effect, making it even more intimidating to fellow martial artists.

Of course, in this situation, it's just for decoration.

For some monsters, physical attacks can only shatter their physical form, which can quickly regenerate. Only special attributes such as magic or Star Source energy, or wielding special tools, can kill them in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, even if you could win, it would take a long time to wear one down.

In addition, Star Warrior can also achieve this through their Spirit Source attribute, but this requires at least reaching the Second Order.

Ling Mengxue gripped her long sword as she walked down the dark and desolate corridor, her heart not as calm as it appeared.

The mist swirled around every corner of the manor, severely obstructing vision to less than three meters. If she hadn't been able to use her Spatial Perception to detect movement in advance, she would probably have been constantly on edge.

Terror stems from the unknown. Groping in the darkness, who knows what terrifying thing might appear next? It's an extreme test of one's heart and courage.

To keep a low profile, she didn't take out the Soul Lamp, as that would attract too much attention, as if she was afraid others wouldn't notice her.

Her Soul Lamp could barely suppress Fourth Order supernatural creatures, but if it were targeted by something even more powerful and swarmed around it, that wouldn't be good either. She didn't want to be chased by monsters from the entire manor just for going out.

Suddenly, a piercing cry for help came from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a tearing sound, a dull thud fell, and the horrifying sounds abruptly ceased.

The fog had a certain effect on space, but Ling Mengxue could still detect some movements a dozen or twenty meters away, which surprised her.

"Was that... a player? Was he being watched? Running out in the middle of the night? Was he looking for food?"

Little did they know, they were also looking for food...

As she slowly walked forward, she suddenly felt the surrounding ghostly mist surging and the yin energy thick, as if something was waiting for her ahead.

She was quite fast; relying on her agility, she quickly moved across.

However, the closer one got, the stronger the stench of blood in the air became.

Glug glug...

In my line of sight, a spherical object rolled to my feet—it was a bloody human head!

The face, filled with terror, was pointed directly at him; the scene was indescribably grotesque and terrifying!

Ling Mengxue's pupils contracted slightly, and with a clang, she drew her longsword, finding the right angle to deliver a slash.

In an instant, the chilling sword energy, like countless illusory rainbows, slashed through the darkness, sweeping across the void and drifting in the faint wind, leaving no trace.

With a single sword strike, the mist in the corridor was completely shattered, spreading out like tides on both banks, revealing a corner of the dormitory building.

Star Engraving. A skill that Void-Breaking Form, usually used to clear away smoke and obstructions in combat, I never expected it to be useful here.

After a brief moment of calm, Ling Mengxue frowned again.

She suddenly noticed something: as far as she could see at the end of the corridor, apart from a pool of scarlet blood and bits of flesh left on the ground, there was no sign of the terrifying creature she had imagined.

They slipped away?

Did they run away?

Ling Mengxue remained calm, her face revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Sensing the lingering chilling ghostly aura in the air, she immediately gave chase.

Generally speaking, as long as a person is calm enough, they will not feel afraid.

Making good use of psychological factors is crucial to continuing to overcome challenges, at least ensuring you don't lose all your thinking ability and still have a chance to survive...

Hearing your words, I've wasted ten years of schooling...

Ling Mengxue shook her head, trying her best not to think about these random things.

As she reached the top of the stairs, still wondering why there was no one in the place with the strongest ghostly aura, a sudden change occurred!

Beside him, a gray wall suddenly burst open, steel and concrete flying everywhere, and a "Santa Claus" popped out...

[img=700,1201]htt Chapter 117 Bloodsaw Maniac Opens the Door and Delivers Gifts

Oh no, to be precise, it was a little girl in a white dress who jumped out from over the wall and fell headfirst to the ground.

The little girl was carrying a yellow woven bag on her back, from which a lot of thick blood was flowing out, and the word "urine" was written in large letters on it, which looked strangely comical.

Of course, this all starts with removing the horrifying bloodstains from the bag.

"Urea bag?"

The sudden scene startled Ling Mengxue.

What the hell is going to pop up again?

Looking into the girl's clear, bright eyes, she remained vigilant, her expression indifferent, only subconsciously tightening her grip on the sword hilt.

The girl in white casually patted her skirt, got up, her face still dazed, looking rather cute, yet with an indescribable eeriness.

She slung the bag back over her shoulder, turned her head in a daze, saw Ling Mengxue, tilted her head and smiled, her voice as melodious as a silver bell. "Little brother, did you see the ball I accidentally dropped? It was still so fresh!"

"..."

Before Ling Mengxue could speak, the girl licked her thin lips again, a strange smile curving her lips as she opened her gaping maw, "It's okay if you don't know, this handsome young man is so cute, he can take the place of the lost one~"

Swish--

No sooner had she finished speaking than a purple light flashed through the air, and the little girl's laughter abruptly stopped.

Even on her deathbed, she still wore an innocent smile, as if she were simply searching for a lost toy, pure and adorable.

Immediately, its small body was cleaved in two, falling to either side and dissipating into black smoke...

The clouds have truly dispersed.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Ling Mengxue's expression remained unchanged as she flicked the blood off the sword.

After hesitating for a moment, she slashed open the woven bag with her sword, and several bloody "balls" rolled out...

After a moment's hesitation, he casually left behind a 'Purifying Fire Lotus' and turned everything into dust.

Not long after Ling Mengxue left, another maid cautiously found her way to the location.

A strong stench of blood filled the air. Looking at the blood-stained walls along the corridor, Meng Xi swallowed nervously, feeling nauseous from the stench.

She couldn't imagine the horrific battle that had taken place here; not only was there blood splattered everywhere, staining the floor red, but there was also a large area of the ground scorched, and everything seemed lifeless...

"Brother Ling has gone far away again. I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

Meng Xi's heart was still pounding, and seeing this scene made her even more anxious. "As long as I make good use of the crystal and always keep a distance from Brother Ling so I won't be discovered, there shouldn't be any problems..."

Once the monsters ahead are cleared, she can follow this path, but she'll need to be careful to hide...

Without further thought, taking advantage of the inexplicably thin fog, she gritted her teeth and plunged back in.

On the other side.

As Ling Mengxue walked downstairs, she encountered four or five more terrifying supernatural beings.

Some have blue faces and fangs, like demons and monsters from the deep mountains, and others are possessed ghosts, which is incredibly exciting!

However, most of the ones she encountered were only at the second or third tier, which she could easily deal with with a single slash.

'Soul Ghost' have no physical form, so they can still be damaged by elemental attacks such as fire and water.

It has to be said that this mechanism is quite peculiar.

Ling Mengxue originally thought she would need to use something like a peach wood sword or some kind of talisman, but it turned out she was overthinking it.

The lobby on the first floor of the dormitory.

The old dormitory supervisor had disappeared without a trace, the front desk was empty, not a soul could be seen, only an old radio was still making a "buzzing" sound.

The light was dim, and an oil lamp hung by the door, swaying in the night breeze, casting an flickering glow, like a small boat in the deep sea, as if it might go out at any moment.

The gate wasn't closed, and Ling Mengxue was also puzzled. At this hour, was it still possible to come and go freely?

As soon as they stepped out the door, a shadow fell over them, and a chainsaw covered in blood appeared in front of them!

"Damn it! A sneak attack!!"

Ling Mengxue couldn't help but swear, and instantly dodged to the side.

Immediately, the ground beneath their feet was torn open with a deep crack, all the steel bars inside were cut, and dust and smoke billowed up.

Sizzle sizzle--

Seeing the other party pull the chainsaw again, Ling Mengxue could no longer bear it. She raised her eyebrows, pointed her fingers into a blade, and released a sword aura from a distance, slashing through the chainsaw.

Boom!!

In an instant, the entire machine exploded with a deafening roar, sparks flying everywhere, accompanied by a series of flashes of electricity that looked extremely dazzling in the darkness, like fireworks exploding with crackling sounds, and wisps of black smoke rising from it. It was clearly a ghostly entity.

Some of the more timid players, upon hearing such a loud noise in their dorm rooms, were so frightened that they dared not breathe, hiding under their blankets and trembling, secretly complaining.

What kind of divine beings are fighting now?

Without stopping, taking advantage of the opponent's momentary confusion, Ling Mengxue pressed down on the hilt of the sword standing on the ground, turned around, and kicked the person out of the door.

Bump--

With a loud "thud," the over three-meter-tall object crashed onto the dormitory steps, causing the reinforced concrete floor to crack and shattering the glass doors along its path, leaving the ground in a terrifying state.

"Fourth Order supernatural being, the Bloodsaw Demon??" Ling Mengxue drew her longsword, her lips twitching involuntarily.
