Chapter 5: Sudden Forced Exit!

The Butcher stiffened, his plump, fleshy face trembling slightly.

His first thought was, how dare this guy show up here!

His next thought was, what is he going to do?

Because.

He had already seen Su Qi, with a faint smile, raise his axe high in the darkness, the cold light flashing as it 'slapped' and cut the rope tied to the harvester.

In the next moment.

The three large, heavy oil drums on the harvester lost their balance and toppled over!

Not only did they knock the Butcher back!

"Whoosh!"

A large amount of liquid poured out from the oil drums, splashing onto their bodies and feet, the pungent smell making the numerous killers dazed.

Is this gasoline?!

The maid Mary, ignoring the liquid on her body, lifted her head and stared intently at the front.

She let out a sharp cry, "It's you, you bastard!!"

All the killers looked over, their pupils glowing.

The prey they had been talking about had not been hiding or running away at all.

Instead, he had appeared right at the church entrance!

Facing so many gazes, Su Qi seemed at ease.

He leaned against the harvester, sighed slightly, and said in a reproachful tone,

"Leaving the guest aside while you throw your own party, is this your way of treating guests? Bullying American-style won't work."

Su Qi's figure appeared somewhat thin in the darkness, looking at the killers who had slipped and struggled, their eyes filled with murderous intent, wanting to pounce over.

He took out a match and smiled,

"But it's okay, I'll add some atmosphere to the party."

The match fell onto the gasoline.

The flames immediately shot up rapidly!

Not only the front row near the church entrance, but the entire area around the church quickly turned into a sea of fire!

"Aaaaah! It's so hot! It's burning me to death!"

"Damn animal! Kill him! Kill him!"

Screams and curses continued.

The fire seemed to want to consume everything, enveloping everything around the church.

However,

These killers were not ordinary people; each one was a madman.

Some, despite being engulfed in flames, struggled to break through and pounce at Su Qi.

"Slap!"

Su Qi swung his axe without hesitation, the force and sharpness of the axe slicing through the man like a cake, splitting him in two.

[Stamina -3, Current 75]

As previously mentioned, various actions would consume stamina. He had already lost quite a bit from moving things in the warehouse earlier.

"Bang! Bang!"

Su Qi also raised his hunting rifle, aiming not at those already engulfed in flames but at the others whose faces were full of shock and anger.

One shot, one head, no misses.

The church was surrounded by flames, the walls cracking from the heat, thick smoke filling the air. The people in the front were already emitting the smell of burning meat, while those inside were either collapsing or roaring as they rushed out through the smoke.

For those trying to break through the flames, Su Qi was merciless with his axe.

Apart from the Hunter, the Lumberjack, and the Butcher, the others were just ordinary in physique. After being engulfed by the flames, their combat ability was not much, at most they could flail around before having their heads chopped off.

The Butcher had already fallen, his fat body sizzling with oil.

The Lumberjack was also shot in the head by Su Qi's hunting rifle at the first opportunity.

The Hunter was very alert, using the thick smoke and the bodies of others to cover himself, and found a chance to leap over the flames by stepping on the bodies of others.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Su Qi fired three shots, all of which the Hunter dodged.

He frowned; this guy's agility had a temporary boost due to the burst.

"Die!"

The Hunter, tall and imposing, holding a board with nails, rushed at Su Qi with a terrifying look in his eyes.

Su Qi pulled out the butcher's knife from his waist without hesitation.

As he swung the knife,

Su Qi felt his body speed up and his strength increase. He had a rough idea of what was happening.

The cold light of the butcher's knife flashed past the Hunter's eyes, full of shock and doubt. He tried to block with what he had in his hands, but nothing could withstand the power of this knife!

A large amount of blood splattered!

At the same time,

Su Qi saw the words [Stamina -12, Current 43], the consumption was significant, but the effect was also quite impressive.

The Hunter's head landed first, followed by his body with a thud.

He slowly sheathed the butcher's knife. It was powerful, but the stamina consumption was too high.

For now, the axe was still more practical.

Ten minutes later.

Su Qi, covered in blood, stood in the glow of the remaining embers. The area around him was filled with charred, decapitated bodies, and the church had completely collapsed, the fire gradually dying down.

"Even though I didn't follow the system's task, I've killed them all, so I guess it counts as completing the level."

He was also nearing his limit, with only 11 points of stamina left, almost depleted. Excessive stamina consumption would also reflect in physical fatigue.

Below 30%, he could recover slightly through rest, and the lower the stamina, the faster the recovery, up to a maximum of 30%.

After his stamina recovered to 30, his breathing gradually stabilized. He held the butcher's knife and walked into the ruins, where a symbol [?] appeared on the central pillar with the ram's head. He wanted to investigate.

On the way, he saw the pitifully dead Mary and said regretfully, "Remember to add cilantro next time."

Su Qi avoided the burning ruins and walked straight to the central clearing.

Strangely, even though the church had collapsed, this clearing remained undisturbed.

He looked at the ground.

The old priest lay straight on the ground, having slit his own throat with a ring, pouring a large amount of blood onto the pattern around the ram's head pillar. The old man had committed suicide, choosing to complete the ritual with his own life.

But was the ritual completed?

Su Qi looked at the ram's head, which had various incantations on its long horns and closed eyes.

The question mark also revealed information.

[Altar of a Strange Deity]

[It is a terrifying existence from the abyss]

[It possesses ancient and evil power]

[It is one of the sources of the world's despair and collapse]

[It is now somewhat angry, as someone has disrupted its ritual, but its power cannot penetrate this world. It is currently using the altar to observe you with a thread of thought]

Information appeared one after another.

"No wonder I felt a chill down my spine." Su Qi looked at the ram's head, realizing it was spying on him?

At this moment,

Su Qi's eyebrows suddenly raised, and a deep red [!] appeared on the ram's head.

The deeper the color, the more dangerous it was, and the higher the reward.

[If you kick its head like a ball and juggle it twenty times without dropping it, you might receive an extremely surprising reward]

Su Qi: "..."

You see... this behavior is not normal.

At the same time,

Su Qi understood the malicious intent behind this information. Once he started kicking, he would provoke this terrifying existence.

But the reward seemed quite tempting. Should he try it?

Moreover, the other party's power could not penetrate.

Su Qi hesitated for only a second before making his decision.

Damn it, let's do it!

After all, this level was about to end, and he would say goodbye to this world once he left.

Su Qi had indeed practiced ball skills, not only basic juggling but also knee strikes, side kicks, and various fancy moves.

At this moment, a figure in the distance was staring dumbfounded at the scene.

He was the guard at the town's exit, who, after waiting for a long time and finding no movement, had come to investigate out of curiosity.

He saw all his companions turned into charred corpses.

Most importantly,

The ram's head of the terrifying deity they worshipped was being kicked like a ball by that young man!

Su Qi naturally saw this guy.

But he ignored him.

All his attention was on the ram's head in front of him, where the [?] was flashing rapidly.

[This terrifying existence feels violated]

[Its anger is rising!]

[It is incredibly furious!]

[It wants to kill you!]

[It is trying to use its power to cross the barrier of this world!]

[It is intercepted]

[It tries again]

[It is intercepted again]

[It tries again]

[It succeeds!]

Su Qi: "????"

This is not what was agreed upon.

Suddenly,

The entire night turned blood red! A huge, abyss-like hole appeared in the thick clouds.

A fierce wind came from all directions!

The shadow of the ram's head suddenly rose from the pillar, transforming into a massive, thousand-meter shadow!

A terrifying aura soared into the sky!

The guard's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

Su Qi felt his eyes fill with blood, strange screams ringing in his ears, and his mental strength rapidly dropping.

This terror was not just talk.

Just a shadow was enough to make him mentally collapse.

At this moment, Su Qi quickly grabbed the eyeball that fell from the ram's head, which should be the reward.

But there was no time to check the properties of the eyeball.

A warning panel suddenly appeared.

[Severe error in副本 No. 6823765, data anomaly!]

[Correcting! Forcibly ejecting player from the副本!]

In the next moment,

Su Qi's vision went black.

He was sent back to the login space.
