Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"That sounds awful. But your helmet looks pretty cool, so from now on I'll call you Old Helmet."

He said it with a hint of sarcasm.

"clang!"

The helmeted man excitedly tapped his head, then knelt down, his head prostrate on the ground, and his hands bent backward forcefully.

“You gave him a name, and he is expressing his gratitude and obedience to you.”

The old woman explained.

"Get up, and work hard for me from now on. I don't have many other strengths, but I'm loyal and never mistreat my friends or subordinates."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Dong dong!"

The helmeted man stood up and pounded his chest.

Judging from his expression, if he didn't need it later, he would have broken the weapon on the spot and sworn allegiance.

"Let's go, Lao Dou."

Liu Zheng gave a shout and led the group outside.

"Mr. Liu Zheng, I wish you all the best."

Behind him, the Anco family and the Fura family waved vigorously and said their blessings.

He waved his tentacles, shouldered his serrated butcher's knife, and left without looking back.

"Damn, he's so handsome."

Xia Kai watched Liu Zheng's retreating figure, so envious he was practically drooling.

A real man should use the coolest weapon to defeat the most formidable enemy and enjoy the loudest applause.

If I can achieve this level, it's all worth it, no matter how many injuries I suffer or how much shit I eat.

He clenched his fist tightly, finally making up his mind.

He must perform well and demonstrate his value.

He is determined to hold on to this thigh!

Not long after leaving the Church of Anguish, the group arrived at the entrance to Old At.

All other passages have been blocked off in various ways, leaving only a suspension bridge.

There were hunters dressed in church hunter outfits guarding both sides of the suspension bridge, four on each side, eight in total.

"Stop! Entry is prohibited here."

Seeing them approaching from a distance, one of the hunters shouted a warning.

The other hunters also raised their weapons, glaring menacingly in their direction.

"Hello, I am Andrina, the 'Holy Blood' hunter. I am here on the orders of High Priest Amelia to bring them into Old Atlantis."

Andrina stepped forward, took out a document, and handed it to the hunter.

"Understood. Allow them to pass!"

The hunter captain shouted.

Upon hearing this, the other hunters put away their weapons and stood aside.

"Lady Andrina, I need to remind you. Because of the 'Pale Night,' the beasts of Old Atlantis are much more active than before, and have already stormed the gates several times."

The hunter captain reminded him.

"Thank you for reminding us, we will take note."

Andrina said politely.

"Do you need me to send someone to accompany you?"

The hunter captain asked solicitously.

There are also differences among the Church Hunters. The "Holy Blood" Hunters, as the direct armed force of High Priest Amelia, are no less powerful than the "Holy Sword" Hunters.

Andrina, the "Holy Blood Rose," is also very famous and is a popular candidate to become the next leader of the "Holy Blood" hunters.

Getting along well with her is definitely beneficial.

"No need. This gentleman is a disciple of Beethoven. With him here, we are sure to be safe."

Andrina shook her head, then pointed at Liu Zheng.

"He was actually a disciple of Beethoven."

The hunter captain looked at Liu Zheng with even more fervent eyes.

Almost every hunter considers Beethoven, the "Holy Sword," as their idol.

Beethoven never accepted disciples after founding the Blood Healing Church; he only trained "Holy Sword" hunters or hunters recommended by other workshops.

Becoming Beethoven's disciple would undoubtedly make him the next "Holy Sword" hunter and even the leader of all the Atlantean hunters.

"It's an honor to meet you. I am Captain Andre, the hunter captain in charge of guarding the entrance to Old Atlantis and patrolling the surrounding area."

The hunter captain walked over respectfully.

"Oh, hello, my name is Liu Zheng."

Liu Zheng wasn't foolish enough to refute Andrina's statement.

"I never expected that Beethoven would take a stranger as his disciple."

"The hunter captain remarked."

"It's probably because I'm from out of town that Old Bei wanted to take me on as a disciple."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"The hunter captain asked curiously."

"Because there are no entanglements or conflicts, actions can be more just and impartial."

he replied.

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

The hunter captain said admiringly.

He was just about to say something more when suddenly the bridge surface shook violently.

Then, a terrifying roar came from the old city of At.

"Oh no, that monster is causing trouble again."

The hunter captain disregarded manners, drew his weapon, and ran towards the other side of the bridge.

Chapter 295 Being tortured is more fun than torturing others

"What is that? Let me take a look."

Liu Zhengxing ran after the hunters excitedly, shouting as he ran.

"Uh"

Amidst his busy schedule, the hunter captain turned to look at Andrina.

Compared to Beethoven, the chief hunter, they had a closer relationship with Archpatriarch Amelia.

"Nothing is impossible to say."

Andrina said.

The true secrets of old Atlantis have vanished with the fire; there is nothing left that cannot be told.

"It's an orc. After the Pale Night, it mutated for some unknown reason, increasing in size several times over, and also gained the ability to unleash flames."

“It has come to harass us several times during this period, and each time we have driven it away in great difficulty.”

"The hunter captain said."

Why wasn't this reported to the church?

"Andrina asked."

"It has already been reported, but it doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving Old At. Let's continue to observe for now."

"The hunter captain replied."

As they spoke, the group had already reached the other side of the bridge.

At one of the dilapidated city gates, church hunters were confronting a giant beast.

The beast was unrecognizable; its body was hairless, covered only in dry, charred skin, and its facial features were burned into a mass of rotten flesh.

Only two rows of gleaming white teeth were visible, as he struggled to breathe.

"Hey, isn't that the charred orc?"

Liu Zheng said excitedly.

"Yes. It seems that it, like that man-eating boar, has mutated."

Andrina said after comparing.

"It's alright, as long as the charred skin on my body hasn't come off."

Moreover, his size has increased, so the area of ​​charred crust has also increased. Shouldn't we give him a bigger bonus or something?

"Clang!"

The helmeted man eagerly tapped his head.

Clearly, he wanted to express his gratitude to Liu Zheng.

"Your weapon doesn't seem quite right."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Being eager to fight is a good thing, but given the design of the helmeted man's weapon, the orc would be left with hardly any good skin after the fight.

The helmeted man understood his meaning, immediately planted two hooked spears into the ground, and then raised his fist.

The fist, as big as a clay pot, was even wearing a gauntlet, which looked quite convincing.

"No rush, let's negotiate first."

Liu Zheng waved his hand and stepped forward.

"Well, let's each take a step back. Give me the skin, and I won't beat you up anymore. Sounds reasonable, right?"

"Ow!"

The response he received was a hoarse roar and a stone thrown at him.

"Negotiations broke down, time to tackle the tough issues."

Liu Zheng cleaved the stone in two with a single stroke, then pointed forward.

The helmeted man immediately charged out like a wild dog, his red cloak fluttering in the air.

"Huh? When did this guy get a cape? Copycat, pshaw!"

Liu Zheng said with dissatisfaction.

"Hey you, you go too."

He pointed at Xia Kai.

"Ah I?"

Xia Kai had a catfish-like expression on his face.

This guy looks even more dangerous than a man-eating wild boar. If he goes up to him, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?

"What are you afraid of? It's just for you to watch and experience, not for you to actually do it. Of course, if you're brave enough, you can go up and stab it a couple of times, which will be good for you too."

Liu Zheng said.

Only by daring to wield a sword when facing a far stronger opponent can one find a way out of a seemingly hopeless situation.
