Chapter Forty: Hands-On
Liu Qiang didn't speak. He muttered something unknown. His expression alternated between fear and joy. It was as if there was a voice in his heart telling him to kill his wife.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Don't say anything." Liu Qiang's expression made Qin Shuang even more frightened, and she wanted to leave this dilapidated room.
"You want to run?" Liu Qiang looked at Qin Shuang with fierce eyes, like a hungry wolf.
"NO, I have not."
Qin Shuang's expression became panicked because she saw Liu Qiang holding a dagger and slowly walking towards her.
"No, I won't give you any chance. Kill, kill, kill you. Dedicate it to the gods, and I will gain the strength. Kill." Liu Qiang twitched his neck, as if a demon was stunned, holding a dagger and moving toward him step by step.
Qin Shuang walked away.
Tears burst out of her eyes instantly. The strong fear made Qin Shuang's legs weak. She didn't even dare to run away. She watched Liu Qiang raise the dagger and walk towards her.
"ah!"
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered all over the ground, and Qin Shuang was so frightened that she screamed crazily. Originally, she thought she must be the one who died, but when she saw the sword blade on Liu Qiang's chest, she seemed to understand something.
"You won't mind if I kill your man, right?" Xu Que withdrew his sword and looked at Qin Shuang expressionlessly.
Qin Shuang did not dare to speak, but nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Xu Que smiled. He understood what Qin Shuang meant. People under extreme fear cannot speak at all.
"Let's go out and say something. I happen to need your help with something."
When the two of them walked out of the narrow doorway, Qin Shuang quickly knelt down to Xu Que: "Thank you for saving me. Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
"No need to thank you, it's just that I can't stand it. You are also a cheerful person, so I won't hide it anymore. I want to kill the Crow Priest, so I need to pretend to be your husband."
Qin Shuang's expression that had just recovered became frightened again, because the man in front of him wanted to kill crows for sacrifice, which was a certain death situation.
"Don't worry, I'm here just for him. As long as you play your part well, you won't need anything else." Xu Que looked at Qin Shuang and comforted him.
"You...can really do it?"
Qin Shuang was still a little worried. After all, the Crows were so powerful. Almost all the zombies around them were killed by the Crows.
"Please rest assured, if you fail, I won't hurt you, and I have other helpers." Xu Que pulled Qin Shuang up. He really couldn't stand others kneeling down.
"I will cooperate with you well." Qin Shuang nodded and agreed. She could see Xu Que's determination and the differences in the other party.
The plan reached an agreement with Qin Shuang is almost successful. Next, it depends on whether Chen Xue can grab the gong. If everything goes well with the plan, Xu Que can guarantee that this mission will probably be the simplest.
Xu Que returned to the dilapidated room, took off Liu Qiang's clothes and put them on, and then used the dust on the wall to make himself more unkempt.
"Although it doesn't look like much, I should be able to get by. After all, who likes to observe a beggar in the last days!"
The sky is getting dark, and the sound of the gong is like a dagger piercing the heart, resounding throughout the Crow Ridge.
"The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin again." Qin Shuang said nervously.
"It's okay, don't worry, just wait for it to come!"
Xu Que smiled and looked towards the altar. He was waiting for the sacrifice to begin!
At this moment, footsteps came closer and closer. Xu Que quickly pretended to be Liu Qiang, his hands and feet were trembling and he was mumbling. A quick look revealed that this man must be possessed.
The Crow Man walked to the door and made a walking gesture with a kitchen knife. Xu Que and Qin Shuang entered the iron cage knowingly, and then the Crow Man sent crows to transport them to the altar.
When arriving at the altar, the previous process was almost the same. Xue Feng first found a typical couple to let everyone know how powerful the gods were, and then started a new round of bewitchment.
Xu Que, who was standing in the middle, held Qin Shuang's right hand tightly and signaled the other party to start taking action.
Xu Quemo dragged Qin Shuang in a daze, and Qin Shuang screamed loudly. Crow Sacrifice Xue Feng saw that it was about to start again, and he showed a ferocious smile.
When Xu Que and Qin Shuang were about to approach Xue Feng, a crow man quickly stopped them, then handed the sacrificial knife to Xu Que, indicating that they could start now.
Xu Que used the corner of his eyes to look at Xue Feng. He visually estimated that the distance between the two was only five meters. Xu Que raised the sacrificial knife with a look of madness in his eyes. This made Xue Feng extremely proud, because Xu Que's expression reminded him so much.
This is totally a true believer.
The sacrificial knife raised by Xu Que did not fall on Qin Shuang. Xu Que stepped to the right and the dust on the ground flew up instantly.
The sand and dust flew away, and a figure was seen approaching Xue Feng with great speed. Crow Sacrifice Xue Feng was stunned, and he had no idea what was going on.
"Pfft!"
The sacrificial knife was like a hot knife cutting butter, instantly breaking open Xue Feng's belly. Xu Que narrowed his eyes slightly and let go of his hand. A long sword appeared in his hand. The light blue sword light was like a firefly in the dark night, aiming at Xue Feng's chest.
Just chop off the head!
"when!"
Xue Feng used the staff in his hand to resist Xu Que's attack. His eyes were red, as if he saw something unclean.
"Do it!" After Xu Que finished speaking, he stepped out with his right foot, and the purple sword light followed his figure and killed Xue Feng again.
Xue Feng also didn't expect that the opponent would actually have a back-up move. Just when he was about to wave his staff, he saw the purple sword light had already cut down.
"Pfft!"
The long sword was like the sound of death, cutting off all the vitality of Xue Feng. Xue Feng died in a strange way and fell in front of the altar. He stretched out his hand towards the altar, but it was too late!
The "cracking" sound of firecrackers made the crow people lose their ability to judge. They wanted to find the source of the sound, but before they could find the source of the sound, the crow sacrificer was already dead.
These arakkoa are completely in chaos. Because they have lost their spiritual connection, they are no different from lunatics.
Xu Que had already predicted that killing Xue Feng was not the end, but the beginning of real trouble. The elite Yao people around him rushed towards Xu Que, and they kept slashing with the sickles in their hands.
The dark sky was filled with crows, and they kept spinning, as if they were about to release something.
"when!"
The gong was struck, and the original noise stopped abruptly, as if a pause had been pressed.
Chen Xue panted and looked at Xu Que. Her dodge just now was really a narrow escape.
Xu Que wiped the cold sweat on his head, then turned to look at Chen Xue, and gave her a thumbs up.
To be honest, Xu Que also tried his best to dodge the attack of the elite arakkoa. He didn't expect that this elite arakkoa was so terrifying!
"What should we do now?" Chen Xue held the gong and looked at Xu Que. She really didn't dare to move now, so she could only stand where she was and ask Xu Que.
"Wait a minute, my legs are a little numb." Xu Que got up and rubbed his thighs.
The crowd kneeling under the altar was completely confused, and those in front of the altar no longer knew what to do.
Xu Que had no intention of caring about them. What he had to do now was to quickly pick up the mission items and equipment.
When he saw Xu Que walking towards Chen Xue after picking up his things, the crowd under the altar suddenly started to commotion.
"The god is dead? What should we do?"
"Don't make a sound, or the arakkoa will chop you down."
"Run quickly, we finally don't have to stay here!"
…
Crowds of people left here quickly one after another. They were really afraid that the two people on the altar would kill them.
Xu Que shook his head speechlessly. He now had no hope for this group of stupid players. He could leave as long as he wanted. He would not care about those who stayed. Anyway, he helped Chen Xue complete the task.
"What should we do now?" Chen Xue asked standing there.
"Give me the gong and I will do the rest."
