Chapter 3436: Leech Pantanal Xiewu

"Of course, I am a person who is very good at keeping secrets."

Xia De was very certain that the "mouth growing in the palm" just now was definitely not any vampire secret art, but some kind of quite dangerous power. However, he was not stupid enough to point it out now, but at this moment he verified his idea again:

"It seems that the guests to be selected for this task are really the three companions."

However, at least Miss Novare looked very normal now. The "eye demon" no longer moved, and after the two discussed, they decided to risk sending it back to the room corresponding to the number on its head.

They of course wouldn't enter the door, just threw that monster directly in. When the room door was closed by Xia De, clatter~, a key fell at his feet. He picked it up quickly and then inserted it into the keyhole to lock the room door. At this time, he noticed that the room number was written on the key handle, and he and Miss Novare both knew what this was.

Returning to the door of Room 0300, the door opening this time didn't have any mistakes. Xia De even took the time to try the two keys in his hand separately, but as expected, only the key in the dried corpse's hand could open the door smoothly.

The room door was opened smoothly. Behind the door was not a room, but an elevator blocked by a fence door. The elevator itself looked like the iron cage commonly seen in zoos for imprisoning animals, just with a button that could be stepped on in the center of the bottom—classic style.

Pushing open the fence door, the two walked in directly. The light of the lamp in their hands was strictly limited to the inside of the fence, not illuminating the outside at all.

The room door and the fence door were closed in turn. When Xia De wanted to step on the button, he realized a serious problem:

"Wait, why doesn't this elevator have buttons to choose floors?"

The moment this thought arose, information poured into his mind, and the two understood the usage of this elevator at the same time. The elevator can be used to go to any floor that has been reached. After saying the floor, you can step on the button to set off, and regardless of the interval between the destination and the departure floor, the elevator will run for a fixed 30 seconds.

"I want to go to the tenth floor."

So Miss Novare shouted, and her small black leather shoes stepped on the center of the elevator. In the buzzing vibration, both felt the elevator rising.

The buzzing sound made Xia De, who had just gotten used to the silence of the corridor, still a bit unaccustomed. He reached out and touched his wound, and then found that the minor injuries he had forgotten for a short few minutes had almost healed.

Moon fire flashed by, burning the body and completely expelling the power left by the evil thing.

Miss Novare looked at Xia De's self-healing silently. When the elevator vibrated again and settled, and the two had returned to the tenth floor when they set off, she opened her mouth again:

"Okay, I lied to you just now. What I used was not any vampire secret art."

Xia De looked at her unexpectedly:

"I know it's not, but why say it?"

The red-haired girl held her left arm with her right hand, and her eyes were black:

"I thought about it carefully again when the elevator was running just now. Relying only on myself, it is absolutely impossible to leave here safely. You have already shown me your power, and I also admit that you seem to be better at using swords than Joanna, this professional hunter.

I need to rely on your power, so I have to treat you sincerely. This is also a way of conducting oneself."

Neither of them had any intention of opening the fence door. Miss Novare showed her right arm, and then showed that cold mouth in her palm again.

"This is not power that belongs to me, but one of my researches. I once went alone to find the whereabouts of the leech queen, a famous dangerous evil thing at the end of the Fourth Era, and finally discovered it at the very bottom of the Rift Abyss in the Southern Continent. Its physical body is dead, but its soul is still wandering in the abyss.

But even so, I still didn't defeat it, but I got a part of its body. After transplanting it into my arm, I had this."

Xia De used the Eye of Edwards to check, and the traces of human body transformation were indeed very obvious. It was just that the red light shadow glowing in the arm was connected to her palm at one end, but it was connected to her heart at the other end.

"It strengthened my vampire talent, especially in terms of eating and digestion, and allowed me to complete my own advancement by sucking special liquids other than blood. I know this is very dangerous; I know it better than anyone, so unless I encounter 'prey' of the level just now, I won't easily use this talent."

After getting permission, Xia De carefully examined her palm. Unless she took the initiative to show this power, no one would ever know, not even Xia De could perceive this thing when shaking hands just now. However, because he had dealt with "Gravel Worms" many times, he was quite familiar with the mouthparts of insects:

"I also knew someone who grew a mouth in his palm before, and later he died."

Miss Novare retracted her hand and said dryly:

"Mortals will eventually die."

"Yeah, mortals will eventually die... you swallowed a part of that evil thing, can you obtain its memory?"

"Mr. Hamilton, if my hand really had that effect, I think I would have been driven crazy by various memories long ago."

She said and extended her left hand to Xia De again:

"Then are you willing to continue to cooperate with me to find a way to leave here?"

"Of course, but you have to guarantee not to misuse this power of yours, and in case of necessity, you have the determination to abandon this power."

The red-haired girl hesitated for a long time before nodding:

"Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

Opening the fence door and then pushing open the room door in front, the two returned to the corridor on the tenth floor again. Turning to look, the room number was "1000." And Xia De, holding the key, had an epiphany when crossing the threshold. Now the "elevator" was officially restarted, and its state also changed from hidden to open.

From then on, as long as he held the key and walked out of a room, he would definitely be able to find the elevator room within three rooms to the left or right. Although whether it was left or right still needed his own judgment, this was consistent with the law of the stairwell appearing. In the case of betting on luck, the probability of not finding the elevator room and the stairwell at the same time was very low.

Having encountered attacks on the third floor many times, the quiet tenth floor at this moment even made Xia De feel a sense of inexplicable security. He looked left and right, and asked the vampire lady again:

"I forgot to ask just now, how do we return to the room?"

If this still required betting on luck, then it was truly luck that they could survive until now.

"There is a reason why Room 1024 is called a safe house by us. Although we cannot see the light on the room door like you, we who live in that room seem to have been accepted by it. As long as the three of us return to the tenth floor, it will likely appear directly nearby."

It was probably really that all the bad luck was consumed on the third floor. After a slight hesitation, the light of the lantern in Miss Novare's hand guided Xia De to walk along the corridor to the left. After passing two doors, that glowing room door really appeared like this.

So the two knocked on the room door according to the secret signal agreed upon when leaving. After confirming each other's identities, they finally returned to the safe room with the warm fireplace firelight. When he came for the first time, Xia De still felt that the fireplace firelight was not strong. After experiencing the danger inside the inn this time, he truly felt how important it was to have a safe house in such a place.

And in the twenty minutes the two left, the Ms. Gerd and Miss Joanna Kearns who stayed here didn't encounter any strange things. They were just chatting with each other, and then the two who went out returned.

"You look like you have a big harvest."

The hunter lady could stand up by herself at this moment, and her recovery speed was quite fast. After taking back the sword and ring from Xia De and noticing the traces left on them, she was even more certain that the two who went out had encountered something extraordinary.

Matters concerning gods, three tasks, the god's guidance to everyone, elevators, products on the first floor, keys, etc., were shared by the two who returned with their companions.

Although the vampire lady had the behavior of secretly hiding matches, she didn't hide any of this key information.

So the two witches who stayed here listened very carefully. After learning that this inn and the hills outside were actually a "prison" for monsters, hunter Joanna Kearns had an expression of being honored to be able to come here; while Ms. Gerd, after hearing the god's evaluation of herself as "don't know how to look at your own feet," actually lowered her head to look at the floor beneath her feet. Xia De really suspected that she was thinking about tearing up all the floors of this house to find clues.

But in any case, the fact that the first floor of the inn was truly a god still made the witches have a deeper understanding of the environment they were currently in.

After Xia De and Miss Novare explained the situation, Miss Kearns pulled everyone to express gratitude and respect to the statue in the corner of the room. She was the kind of person with strong execution, and immediately grasped the key point of the current situation:

"So the most important thing to do now is actually not to deal with the things wandering in the corridor on the 19th floor, but to help Mr. Hamilton find a 'holy object,' otherwise we might lose this companion."

"Then have you ever seen similar things when exploring in the inn?"

Xia De asked. Miss Novare came the latest, so she knew very little.

Miss Kearns and Ms. Gerd, who had prepared black tea for everyone, recalled carefully:

"Didn't know the specific situation here before, so I saw some things and didn't know what they meant. Now I probably understand. Seventh floor, I saw an empty room on the seventh floor that also had a shrine. I thought that room could also be used as a safe house, but it's a pity that the room was invaded later.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps there will be holy objects in the shrine cupboard that I couldn't open, but the effect is not as good as the statue here." ===== CHAPTER 3437 =====
