Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1889: Iron Maiden (7)
Chapter 1889 Iron Maiden Seven
Ghouls are people who have been transformed by vampires after they died. To put it bluntly, they are also one of the products of vampires.
These monsters react to holy water in exactly the same way as vampires do, wrestling with holy flames until they are burnt to ashes.
Arthur had never looked into what the holy water was, and thought it would work. But now it seems that holy water is actually similar to the fuel oil and oxidant that has been enchanted by [Holy]. When it encounters the air, it will ignite immediately, and even the flame is enchanted by the Holy Spirit. This kind of thing is really effective for defeating demons.
However, the holy water bottle burns the ghoul and makes a sound. The light and heat of this flame is also a great problem. It has attracted more enemies, and Arthur has been able to see at least thirty shadows of ghouls swaying at the end of the corridor opposite!
One-time success doesn't mean anything, and fighting these crazy man-eating monsters in narrow corridors is still very bad. If you want to fight with such a large group of monsters on an equal basis, you must first find a place that is wide enough to avoid attacks!
Wow! The sound of the whip slamming was accompanied by a crash. Arthur turned his eyes to see that little Zust had wrapped his silver whip around what looked like a clasp in the air. He pulled hard, and the mechanism above was pulled down, and it was a simple staircase leading to the upper floor!
"This way!" Zuster jumped up first.
Arthur didn't go ahead, but snatched two bottles of holy water from Joey's waist, then pushed the teenager, motioning him to go up first.
"Lord Aslan?" Joey didn't understand King Arthur's intention, but he didn't want to hinder the next person from climbing the ladder, so he still started to climb up with one foot.
"Huh." Arthur threw the holy water bottle before the monsters approached, and let it fall next to the ladder, forming two walls of fire. This holy flame wall is a natural barrier. Once the monsters approach, they will be affected by the holy flame!
This action really made the ghouls hesitate for half a second, which means that although their brains are rotten and they are already in a state of madness, they, like beasts, also have the instinct of survival, and they will take the initiative when they see danger in front of them. Avoid, do not plunge into the flames!
Arthur sneered and climbed the ladder. Those monsters won't chase after them for a while, and it is estimated that the Holy Fire Wall can continue to burn for at least half a minute!
"Very excellent tactics and combat skills. As expected of Lord Aslan." After he could take a breath, little Zust took time to admire.
"Stop flattering me, let's figure out what's going on here." Arthur looked around, trying to observe the situation.
This room is actually the inside of the library. The Wangli University Library consists of several side halls, with a hexagonal space in the middle connected together, just one corner corresponds to one area. The books stored in each area should have their own divisions and be categorized and organized in an orderly manner.
In each row of the old but sturdy iron and wood shelves, there are thousands of books - old, new, holy, exotic. There are even many ancient scrolls that are directly hand-written from parchment paper. They are stored in bundles, and there are insect-repellent and antiseptic spices next to them, so that these rare ancient books can be preserved longer. .
There are also small stairs in the same area connecting the second and third floors, making the hexagonal design library continue to expand upwards, like a pagoda of books. The bookshelves upstairs are already placed against the wall, almost integrated with the wall, which makes them more stable, and the books will not be scattered because of this. The design is really exquisite and full of neat aesthetics.
The neatness of this library has its characteristic clutter. Books are piled up everywhere on the ground inside the library, like hills. These books are either too large to be classified and put on the shelves, or because some guys with poor memory and bad hands forget to put them back after reading the books. All in all, these random books are really annoying, and it seems that Arthur's obsessive-compulsive disorder is about to attack.
"Very well, there are no ghouls here for the time being." Arthur carefully took a look outside the side hall and said in a low voice when he returned.
"If there is a battle next, don't use the holy water bottle indiscriminately." Little Zust instructed his son, but he was actually warning Arthur: "There are many precious books in the royal library, the holy water bottle. The resulting fire won't set the entire library on fire, but it will inevitably destroy a book or two. That's not good."
Joey knew it wasn't just addressed to him, but he wisely understood what his father meant and nodded immediately.
"Anyway, in such an open area, we can safely fight." Arthur had no objection. The library is not just open, it has bookshelves everywhere, a three-dimensional environment that can be fully utilized. If the terrain is used rationally, Arthur is not a problem at all.
But what he's really worried about now is the unreachable Superintendent Tigen. It seems that the inspector is trapped in this library, and where he is now is still a mystery. That unlucky guy has been eaten by the ghouls, right? If his man was still there, or the body was still in some prominent corner, finding the key he was carrying wouldn't be a problem. I was afraid that this Inspector Tigeng had died in an unknown corner of the library and could not be found anywhere. If things turned out like that, Arthur probably would have to make a bigger turn to get his Seraph Sword back.
Arthur suppressed his uneasiness, and together with the little Zuster and his son, he carefully found out the side hall of the library. Fortunately, they haven't seen those crazy ghouls wandering around yet. The ladder behind them did not climb up the crazy ghouls, I'm afraid these stiff and brainless guys don't know how to climb ladders at all?
"Shh! Shh!" At this moment, Arthur seemed to hear someone calling, and he lowered his voice and wanted to attract the attention of Arthur and the others, so he made that embarrassing call.
"Huh?" Arthur looked up. That's right, there was someone on the second floor of the library. On the second floor of the circular shape, on top of a large bookshelf, there was a middle-aged man prostrate. Not far from that person, there were two or three other people, who also hid at the top of the bookshelf, holding on in various postures that seemed to make people feel very tired.
"Oh my god, Inspector Tigeng isn't dead yet!" Little Zust sighed in a low voice.
Hearing Johnny say this, Arthur finally felt relieved. If you live to see people die, you will see corpses. The school inspector, Tigeng, who he is most worried about not being able to find, is sitting on the bookshelf. In this way, the key to the treasure room is guaranteed to be in hand.
The group of people hiding on the top of the bookshelf on the opposite side have stopped making a sound, but tried to tell Arthur their intelligence with gestures. Their sign language was terrible, but Arthur understood it anyway.
(Be quiet, there are monsters!)
Who doesn't know there are monsters. Isn't it just a bunch of crazy ghouls? Arthur was complaining fiercely in his heart.
Ow—but Arthur carefully looked at several other side halls in the library. Oh my God, there were at least thirty shadows shaking in each side hall. Those are ghouls! They were half squatting and eating the corpses, and most of the ghouls were hidden by the surrounding piles of books, so it was difficult to detect their existence. In the hall of this library, it is estimated that there are hundreds of mad ghouls in ambush. It is indeed not an easy task to fight against such a large group of monsters!
Can only continue to sneak.
"What should I do?" Seeing that there was a long way to go from here, Little Zust asked Arthur.
"Of course I'll meet with the inspector first and protect them," Arthur replied. But all he cared about was the key.
"Then you go ahead first, and I will be in charge of the rear." Little Zust said. He should have said this considering that his equipment would make noise when walking. If he also sneaks and walks very slowly, this sound will be infinitely reduced, to the point where it can almost be ignored. But he's going too slowly and it's really slowing Arthur and the others down -- and Arthur won't wait for him, even if Arthur doesn't say it.
"Okay, just move slowly behind you." Arthur wanted to get rid of the big burden of little Zust, anyway, the Zust family are all well-trained vampire hunters, and they would not be afraid A mere siege by a group of ghouls (probably?), leaving him behind alone. (What's more, Arthur can rush back to save people when something goes wrong.)
"It's not a compliment." But Joey was a little worried: "My father always likes to overestimate his strength. Even his father can't handle this number of ghouls at the same time."
"Nonsense." Johnny Zuster was obviously not very happy: "You two go quickly, don't worry about me."
Arthur also ignored the bickering between the father and son, and went up to the stairs on the second floor. Continuing to waste time will only put them in a more dangerous place ~IndoMTL.com~ God knows when the ghouls will finish eating the corpses? If they don't have corpses to eat, they'll roam around, making Arthur and the others more difficult to sneak!
Arthur should take advantage of now, right now-
Squeak—!
Hurry is not enough. Arthur thought it would be easy to devote himself to meeting the supervisor, but the wooden stairs to the second floor were the biggest challenge in the whole process.
Because starting from the stairs, the floor to the second floor is all made of wood planks, and each step is made of several wood planks inlaid and riveted together!
The wooden floor is different from the stone floor. When Arthur walks on the floor of this structure, there will inevitably be a sound - that is because his weight causes the wooden board to sag slightly, and the wooden board rubs against each other. sound.
He just took a step, and he immediately froze and didn't dare to move. He knew something was wrong, and he stopped dying immediately.
And in a side hall in the distance, a ghoul who was busy eating corpses seemed to sense this slight movement. It stopped eating the carcass and looked up, looking for its next prey.
