Unexpectedly, the Blood Noble and the Platinum Child could connect! Seeing the enemies flanking her from both sides, Lu Lu Wo kept a close watch while observing her surroundings, searching for a way out. A direct confrontation? What a joke! There were definitely over thirty Platinum Child behind her now; Frost Stomp wouldn't work! Wasn't there a weapon or Weapon Skill with a wide area of effect, high damage, and the ability to instantly kill these Platinum Child? Initially, she felt a certain degree of control and dominance over the Platinum Child due to her Pureblood Knight identity, and she truly appreciated the surprises the Zane Dungeon had prepared for adventurers. But now, discovering that the Blood Noble could instantly trigger the Platinum Child's berserk state, that surprise was maximized! Yes, it made perfect sense. The Blood Noble lived in Mohgwyn and spent every day with the Platinum Child, so of course they could communicate. Moreover, the Blood Noble were clearly from the upper class, so they must know that no Pureblood Knight should disturb Mohg at this time, making an immediate attack upon seeing the two perfectly reasonable. The details of the Zane Dungeon are incredible! "Whoosh—" The Blood Noble's left hand wielded a Reverse Stab, unleashing a series of blood-soaked blades that hurtled towards the group! In the blink of an eye, Fudolin's pupils turned into vertical slits. She clenched her fists and smashed them against the blood blades, each punch shattering one, her fingers only suffering minor injuries. "No, let's switch positions! Don't just touch those things!" Lu Lu Wo sensed something was wrong. She extended a chain and wrapped it around Fudolin's slender waist, cleverly switching her position with hers. But it was too late. Facing the latest wave of blood blades, the girl, hearing Lu Lu Wo's words, cautiously refrained from attacking. Instead, scales suddenly sprouted from her arms to defend herself. Her scales were a dazzling orange-red, like molten iron or boiling lava. Unlike other dragons' smooth scales, they were sharp and uneven, like mountain peaks. The blood-red blade clashed with the scales, shattering the outermost layer, but Fudolin herself was unharmed; it seemed her defense was effective— "Pfft!" Suddenly, a torrent of blood erupted from her arms, staining even her clothes red! This scene shocked the two, especially Fudolin. "I wasn't injured," she thought, looking at her arms gushing blood from every pore, feeling as if an invisible force had been pulling at her blood, causing it to rage. This was bad; perhaps it was because of the blood-red blade! She immediately realized the reason, shielding Lu Lu Wo with one hand while hissing at the Platinum Child before her like a ferocious beast. A shockwave, like an air cannon, instantly slammed into the Platinum Child, causing them to stagger and almost lose their balance. This scene also made Fudolin frown, because when she used the same technique to roar at the white Platinum Child in Lake Liurnia, she had been able to kill them instantly. Why did her roar become a shockwave like [Refuse] when it came to the strong, red form of the Platinum Child? "This place is no place to linger, let's retreat." Lu Lu Wo threw a magic scroll at the Blood Noble, but the opponent's sword-wielding right hand assumed a fencing stance, and he nimbly moved backward, skillfully dodging the scroll. The scroll exploded in front of him, creating a dense cloud of smoke. Several chains shot through the smoke towards him, and he merely swung his Reverse Stab to block them. But as he passed through the smoke, Lu Lu Wo used the chains to hook onto the cliff beside her and leaped upwards like Spider-Man. Seemingly annoyed that her movement was a little too slow, Fudolin stomped her foot to accelerate, and in the blink of an eye, she had leaped onto a higher cliff with her. "Phew, that was really close." Lu Lu Wo wiped the sweat from her brow, looking down at the densely packed, spiked Platinum Child rolling around like sea urchins, feeling like she had escaped a close call. No one had ever told her that the Platinum Child could be covered in thorns. "Is your arm alright?" She turned to look at Fudolin's blood-stained arm, her hands glowing green as she cast Healing Magic. Only when she did she realize that Fudolin's arms were almost unscathed. "Thank you, Captain!" Fudolin gave a grateful smile like Ta Mi's; this innocent look was indeed the most endearing. But the next moment, her expression suddenly changed, and she shoved Lu Lu Wo to the ground! "Whoosh—" A blood blade almost grazed Lu Lu Wo's nose as she staggered backward! Fudolin turned and let out a scorching roar, sending the pursuing Blood Noble staggering, their clothes showing signs of burning. "They even managed to chase us this far," Lu Lu Wo glanced at the pool of blood not far away. So, as long as there was blood, Blood Noble could appear anytime, anywhere? This was a bit terrifying. The Blood Dynasty might not look like a dynasty, but it certainly didn't lack pools of blood! What was the difference between this and teleportation at will? The battle was about to erupt, and constant vigilance was necessary against the Reverse Stab and the strange prayers that the Blood Noble might utter at any moment. Those things seemed to have a guiding effect on the blood in the human body; being hit by them would cause massive bleeding and, to some extent, ignore defensive capabilities. This was too unfair; a living being's blood volume was limited, and a single massive hemorrhage could directly render someone weak and feeble. "Thump! Thump! Thump!" Fudolin's fighting style was extremely wild, each strike capable of cracking the earth. The reason the earth cracked was, of course, because she couldn't hit the Blood Noble. His Blood Vortex Weapon Skill, [Dynasty Sword Skill], was truly powerful, comparable to the Hound Step, and also possessed a deadly elegance. The Blood Noble's attire was also quite impressive; each swing of his sword caused his hood and robes to flutter in the wind, making him appear otherworldly. However, Lu Lu Wo could seize the opportunity to intercept his retreat. A barrage of chains erupted along the Blood Noble's retreat path, instantly disrupting his fighting rhythm. Finally, Fudolin landed a friendly punch on his face. The Blood Noble flew backward like a vampire who had been hit by an Ora, trembling as he struggled to his feet. The two quickly gave chase, but at that moment, the enemy made an unexpected move. He abruptly turned and ran towards the deep, dark cave behind him! Seeing this familiar scene, the seasoned intruder, Miss Lu Lu Wo, was stunned. "This... this Blood Dynasty truly lives up to its reputation for creating Bloodfinger; their tactical awareness is so clear." She felt like she had clicked with the enemy and immediately gave chase. But as she approached the cave entrance, she abruptly stopped. Darkness is the most terrifying environment. Before even stepping into the cave, they stepped into blood. Looking down, they saw that almost the entire cave was covered in blood. This meant the Blood Noble could pounce from any unexpected angle at any moment; for him, this was undoubtedly a home-field advantage. "Only a pig would walk in unsuspectingly in this situation." She looked at Fudolin and asked, "How's your lung capacity?" Fudolin didn't quite understand at first, but after seeing Lu Lu Wo's gesture, she understood everything. "Luckily, I still have this!" Several heads-sized black shadows were suddenly thrown into the cave. In an instant, blood splattered as the shadows were sliced in two by the Blood Noble sprang out, disappearing back into the blood without a trace. However, sticky liquid splattered from the shattered shadows. "Now! Fudolin, use Great Fire Breath!" "Awooo!" A fiery breath, hotter than a red dragon's flames, shot out from Fudolin's mouth. In an instant, the entire cave was ablaze! It turned out those shadows were Oil Urn! The intense heat instantly boiled the blood, evaporating the moisture in a flash. Lu Lu Wo pointed behind her and said, "Beat him up!" Fudolin swung her fist and turned to smash it into an empty spot—there was nothing there. But there was a calm pool of blood! Just as her fist landed nearby, the Blood Noble's head emerged from the blood! "Boom—" A sound like an explosion rang out as fist collided with head! The Blood Noble was slammed back into the ground! This blow would at least give him a concussion, even if he didn't die. Jia Paer would have his head spinning for a while, Blood Noble was no exception. The evidence was that he didn't reappear for about ten seconds after being punched. "Did they kill him? No, the runes on his body haven't increased." Lu Lu Wo cautiously stood in place for a while, but the Blood Noble still hadn't appeared. Could it be that they had chased him away? But the sense of crisis seemed to have indeed subsided. Just then, the flames inside the cave gradually died down, and the pool of blood, dried by the intense heat, emitted a strange, foul odor. She cast a light spell inside, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime. It was just an ordinary cave, seemingly unremarkable, except for several scattered points of light, many of them purple. Lu Lu Wo could guess what these points of light were for. If she hadn't dried the pool of blood, she would have been groping her way through the pitch-black cave, constantly on guard against Blood Noble leaping out and stabbing her in the kidneys. The locations of those points of light were likely areas the Blood Noble were particularly wary of; getting too close would result in an attack. Now that the pool of blood was gone and the Blood Noble had been driven away, there should be no problem, right? Just to be on the safe side, she first had Fudolin breathe fire to dry the last patch of blood outside the cave entrance, completely eliminating any loopholes for enemy intrusion, before cautiously entering the cave. It felt like playing Pokémon, using Charizard (Fudolin) to clear the way. But this time, they stopped as soon as they entered the cave. A bright red summoning symbol suddenly appeared on the ground ahead: [Invade White Mask Vanre?]
