Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 137: Revenge Walker

The low building was not far away. The Poros changed direction and soon arrived at where the gray figure was.

The figure's appearance gradually became clear.

Poro and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. The man who spoke was wearing a somewhat dirty military uniform.

His face also looked a little thin, and the surface of his skin, especially the skin on his arms, was covered with many crisscrossing scabbed scratches.

He looked about the same age as Invi.

The messy beard was stained dark brown by some dirty, unwashed bloodstains.

Whoever this person is—

At least it looks much more normal than those possessed dancers!
"Go, hurry up, or those monsters will catch up!"

The man looked at the people coming over, hurriedly opened a door behind him and shouted.

After a brief thought, the Poros followed the man's guidance and walked into the small building. There was no special sound or smell in the building.

Behind him, the balcony door was closed and locked.

The next moment, those possessed dancers slammed into the door. The wooden door began to shake under the heavy load, and a crack appeared in the center of the door.

In the crack, bloody twitching limbs stretched out and scratched at the air.

Let this crack grow bigger and bigger...

"Go underground. Don't touch the red substance covering the streets and walls. Otherwise, the dancers will notice!"

The man with blood on his beard spoke anxiously as he led a few people down the stairs.

Several people found that the doors and windows on both floors of the building were sealed with wooden boards.

Even the cracks in the door were blocked with debris.

The flesh and blood extended through the gaps, but there were no larger gaps, and the red biomass could not invade the room on a large scale.

"If the dancers discover this stronghold, we won't be able to use it anymore."

When he reached the bottom floor, the man leaned over and lifted a wooden board, revealing a series of stairs leading to the basement, and then slowly walked down.

He took a lantern from the wall and lit it.

The firelight illuminated the stone walls.

In this deep underground passage, there is not a single moving flesh and blood, which means that those possessed dancers will be isolated outside by the wooden boards in the basement.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

The sounds of the possessed dancers and the chaotic and noisy dance music all gradually faded away.

"Thank you for your help, sir. May I ask..."

Invi looked at the red-bearded man in front of him. On the chest of his uniform was an almost worn-off military emblem.

“Same as you.”

The red-bearded man shook his head. The flickering flame of the lantern in his hand illuminated the scars on his skin. "Just the undead from the Kingdom of Steds."

"So, you too—"

There was a hint of excitement in Invi's eyes.

"I am a surviving soldier of the Golden Purple King's Guard of the Old Steds Kingdom."

The red-bearded man turned to the end of the tunnel, holding a lantern to dispel the darkness. A set of stairs appeared. He took out a key, opened the door, and walked inside. "Now... the Avengers."

The room connected by the tunnel is in another building of unknown location.

The doors and windows of the building were covered with curtains and wooden boards, and no light could penetrate. Only when the oil lamps were lit did the furnishings inside become visible.

"This is……"

Several people glanced at the environment in the room and opened their eyes wide.

"After that disaster, those of us who survived had nothing left except our lives."

The red-bearded man drew a flame from the oil lamp and lit the lights in the house.

In the corner, many long swords were inserted into a wooden barrel. Many of the swords had gaps on their blades. On the wooden table nearby, there were some badges, various sundries, and picture albums scattered around... Some armor was piled up in the corner, and the tools used to repair armor were placed next to it.

"Family, children, king, everything we knew about the past has been lost in that apocalypse... We survived, but what is the point?"

The red-bearded veteran said this, his expression filled with grief and indignation, "And those demon-possessed princes are still wandering around, and the dancing plague they brought is still destroying one country after another.

So, we are back, along with some others whose families were also broken up by the dance epidemic.

If we can't stop this doomsday from our homeland...

Then die here."

"Then...what about the others?"

Lake was stunned for a moment and asked.

"other people……"

The red-bearded man was stunned for a moment, his face turned towards the shadow behind the candlelight, and his expression could not be seen. After a while, he raised his hand and pointed to the door on the other side. "They are all dead. I am the only one left."

Lake was stunned for a moment, walked forward and pushed open the door.

The door hinges seemed to be a little rusty, and Lake used a little force to open the door, but after the door was opened, a rotten smell came towards her!

In the corner of the room, several corpses were lying neatly in the hall.

Many of the corpses were still wearing armor, but their bones had long since decayed and decomposed, emitting a foul smell.

Poro endured the smell and walked in.

Those corpses were covered with bluish-white fungi due to their age. Following the traces of the fungi, one could see a lot of old reddish-brown bloodstains on the ground.

"For a long time, we carefully explored the truth of the doomsday and the secret of the source of the epidemic - but we failed.

Our mortal bodies are no match for those monsters.

No matter how strong their will is, they cannot resist the infection of the dance epidemic. In order to prevent themselves from becoming possessed dancers, they will choose to commit suicide when they find that they cannot control their bodies.

So now, I am the only one left in this city."

The red-bearded man said this, waving to Lake and Poro to walk out of the inner room where the corpse was stored, and then closed the door.

On the other side, Invi waved her hand and wiped a piece of cloth on the wall.

The dust faded away, revealing a map of the capital of Steds. On it, the locations of buildings, streets, palaces, etc. were marked in great detail, and there were also many lines and marks whose meanings were unknown.

This is a battle map.

"Did you make this map?"

The veteran looked carefully at the map in front of him, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

"Yes, this is the path we have found with our lives in this city occupied by the epidemic."

The red-bearded man said this while sitting at a table on the side. He looked at the people, sighed, and continued:

"What about you? I just saw that you can walk on the building... even if you're stepping on flesh and blood, you can still escape the attacks of those 'dancers'. Whether it's physical ability or... in every aspect, you are much stronger than ordinary people like me—"

So, why have you come here, to the source of this plague? "

"It's the same as yours."

Invi spoke, "Eliminate the 'Crazy Dancer' and completely eradicate the epidemic that's spreading everywhere. Let the citizens of this city rest in peace."

"you……"

The red-bearded man was silent for a moment, took a pen from the table beside him, walked to the wall, and on the map, he pointed at a dot a little further away on a red line representing the street.

Then he turned around and explained to the few people:
“We have been in this city for such a long time, and it’s not like we have done nothing.

We used flames to burn the flesh on the ground, and finally approached the palace without being discovered. However, there was a special magic array there. The spellcasters among us found a way to enter the palace.

We need to kill three possessed princes and use their hearts to open the magic array that hides the secret.

But... we can't do it.

As long as you get close to that prince and are discovered by him, you will immediately lose control of your body, be infected with the dance plague, and turn into one of those tireless monsters who are controlled forever! "

The red-bearded man said, looking up at the others, "That prince is very powerful, much more powerful than these ordinary citizens who have turned into monsters!
Are you...really ready? If not, please leave here."

They exchanged glances, and Lake stepped forward and nodded, "Of course, if killing those demonic princes is a necessary condition for entering the palace, we will kill them!"

The veteran Invi also took out a golden wine glass from a package beside him and slowly opened it. Inside, the heart of the demon prince's dance partner who was killed in the Kingdom of Boren was still beating.

"In fact, we have killed more than one demon-possessed prince."

Hearing this, he looked at the heart in the wine glass in disbelief. An expression of disbelief appeared on the red-bearded man's face, and then he showed joy:

"Really? That's great!"

As he spoke, the man took down a suit of armor from the hanger beside him, put it on, and then pointed to the redstone mark on the map beside him.

“I know that there are several princes possessed by demons in this city.

This one's location is very close to our tunnel. As long as you have the ability to kill him, we can... easily take another heart!"

……

In the capital of St. Petersburg, there is a building near the city center that looks like... an extremely luxurious opera house.

But at this time, the walls, floor and tall sculptures at the entrance of the opera house were all covered with bright red flesh and blood.

In the basement of the opera house, a hidden manhole cover was opened.

Several people came out.

The red-bearded man controls the access to the city's underground drainage system.

In these "underground roads", most of the ground was burned by flames, and there was not much moving flesh and blood to be seen.

"We already knew that there was a possessed prince and his dancing partner in this opera house!"

The red-bearded man said this and led a few people to the upper level of the opera house.

Several people held their breath and concentrated. On the upper level of the opera house, the surface of flesh and blood began to cover the jade-white stairs. They squirmed, and strange dance music rippled in the air.

In the dim light, several people saw the possessed dancers dancing slowly in the opera house.

Their previous inhuman form shrank back.

Only the slight bloody cracks on the surface of their skin proved that they were no longer human.

"The demon prince should be in the front hall..."

The red-bearded man whispered.

As long as they are not discovered by the dancers, they can step on the flesh and blood without being sensed.

Only when they are actually discovered by the dancer, will these wriggling flesh and blood have the ability to trace their location!
"Right there."

There were no windows or candles in the dance hall, and it was pitch black all around. In the almost complete darkness, only in the front, in the center of the stage surrounded by rows of seats, the wriggling flesh seemed to be emitting a dim blood-red light and shadow.

Two shadows dressed in court costumes embraced and danced in the center of the stage.

One of them was wearing a white dance dress, while the other was wearing a black and red royal dress!
It's a demon-possessed prince!
"Are you... sure you can defeat it? I can't bear it any longer. I can't bear to see it..."

As the red-bearded man spoke, he covered his eyes with one hand and retreated in the direction he came from.

For ordinary people, just seeing the dance of the demon prince will make them infected by the dance epidemic!

"I have a way to help you resist this influence."

At this time, Karen spoke. She pulled out a feather from her back and wanted to hand it to the red-bearded man, but the red-bearded man waved his hands and went back to the lower level when he came.

"Save your magical powers for the battle with the demon prince later. If you can survive, I'll be waiting for you at the basement door!"

After saying that, the red-bearded man disappeared into the shadows.

"Well, ordinary people like that, if they get involved in a battle, they can easily be affected and die."

Several people turned around, held their breath, took up their weapons, and prepared themselves.

Following the darkness and chairs of the dance hall, I sneaked in that direction...

The possessed prince and princess were spinning in the center of the stage as if no one was there, the flesh and blood beneath their feet emitting a faint blood-red fluorescence.

But at this moment, a footstep stepped onto the stage!
In an instant, the flesh and blood on the entire stage suddenly lit up, and the blood light suddenly appeared, and it seemed to be mixed with the illusion of muscles throbbing!
At the same time, a bloody arm tore through the robe and stretched out from behind the demon-possessed prince.

It pointed in the direction of the person coming!
In an instant, the red carpet on the ground, which seemed to be harmless flesh and blood, grew and exploded like a waterfall, tightly wrapping up the uninvited guest who stepped onto the stage!
"Click——"

There was a sound of shattering.

The being that was held up by the blood-colored tentacles cracked under the weight, and broke into two pieces under the dancing light and shadow, falling to the ground!

but……

It was just a gingerbread man broken in half.

The demon-possessed prince showed a puzzled look on his face and waved his arms again and again. The beings that rushed onto the stage in the other two directions were also strangled by their growing flesh and blood.

However, it was still the two gingerbread men who fell.

The flesh and blood wrapped around and covered the gingerbread men, but they did not move. How could the gingerbread men move without the magic of the Poro?

And at this moment, the real killer move arrived!
In mid-air, Lake, blessed with the Poro levitation technique, flew over the flesh and blood carpet on the ground and launched a surprise attack directly from mid-air!

The demon-possessed prince had just come to his senses when the wind started to blow.

The star-like silver sword light has filled his blood-red pupils!

Lake spun gracefully in mid-air, and the faint light of the Star-Killing Sword pierced through the chest of the Demon Prince and his dance partner!

The prince's body collapsed into blood and flesh, trying to stop—

But even if these deformed flesh were a thousand times harder, they would still be no match for the sharpness of the Star-Killing Sword.

Silver light flashed across the blood.

The two hearts fell on the horizontal blade of the Star Killing Sword. They were still beating slowly, pumping out scarlet blood mist!
　I caught a cold today. It's really uncomfortable. Brothers, please wear more clothes. Don't catch a cold in winter. QAQ
