Chapter 299: The Farmer and the Electricity Thief (Part 6)
Whoosh— The black shadow swept directly over William's head.
After encountering the Nurse Butcher at close range once again, he had firmly grasped the rhythm of her ability.
Next, he dodged two more teleports. At this point, the Nurse Butcher would enter a brief period of weakness.
William grabbed and lifted the hem of that blood-stained skirt.
His eyes were full of anticipation; at first glance, one might think he was about to do something strange.
After some groping, another quaintly designed amulet appeared in his hand. The pattern on it seemed to be the Holy Land's Dome Temple, but in William's eyes, this thing was radiating a dazzling golden glow.
At this time, the Nurse Butcher also recovered from her weakness. William immediately turned on the flashlight, shining it accurately right into her eyes.
He specifically waited until this moment to act, precisely to chain the blinding glare right after the Nurse Butcher's weakened state. This would delay time with maximum efficiency.
Besides this, he had another purpose.
William looked to the side. The high-speed spinning chainsaw had already arrived before his eyes, the white smoke billowing from the chain carrying a pungent smell.
With the blessing of [Missionary], he had been constantly calculating the distance between himself and Bubba the Butcher.
Seeing that the chainsaw was about to hack down, William immediately sidestepped to the flank of the Nurse Butcher.
In the next second, accompanied by a clack-clack sound, the chain jammed in place.
"It seems Sweepers cannot attack each other," William lamented inwardly.
Subsequently, he didn't linger, immediately sprinting off in a certain direction. The two Sweepers roared in place for a moment, then frantically chased after him.
Rustle, rustle...
Two heads poked out from the cornstalks nearby.
"This... when we were getting hacked earlier, the Sweepers didn't seem this clumsy," Austin said, his eyes full of surprise.
"The 'we' you mentioned shouldn't include me, right? I was hacked on purpose," Ruen hurriedly distanced himself.
Earlier, after Austin rescued him, he also used a medkit to heal Ruen's injuries.
The two originally wanted to come and see if William needed help, but happened to witness the latter handling the situation with ease, which shocked them endlessly.
Especially Austin. He had come into contact with the Sweepers many times and knew the danger of these monsters very well, so he admired William's calmness even more.
Before long, William ran back again.
"Take this, follow behind us," he shouted from afar.
Ruen didn't understand why, but still reached out his hand, and then saw an extra item in his palm.
"This is!" He widened his eyes.
Aside, Austin was still wondering who the "us" William mentioned referred to, but the next moment he knew the answer.
He saw William sprinting at the very front, with the Nurse and Bubba trailing closely behind him.
Even passing by the other two humans, the Sweepers had no intention of changing targets.
"What's... over there?" Ruen was a bit dazed.
Austin thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow: "The gate! The gate of this area is over there, and there's a generator next to it."
He looked at the holy artifact in Ruen's hand again: "Could it be... Father William has found them all?"
Thinking of this, the two hurriedly scrambled up from the cornstalks.
Not long after.
William already saw the slightly grimy gate. There was a hand lever on the wall beside it, looking like a switch.
And just a few meters away from the gate was a generator. He immediately ran toward it.
Accompanied by a click-clack sound, the generator slowly began to turn.
And the two Sweepers also stopped in their tracks. They merely glanced at William and immediately left in another direction.
William knew very well what was in that direction.
Every area only had three generators. When two of them were lit, the Sweepers' objective became very clear.
At this time, Austin and the others also rushed over.
William didn't say much, only telling the few people to stand by here; they would be able to go out before long.
Subsequently, he chased after the direction the two Sweepers had left.
Vrrrr—
Ugh ah—
A period of time later, when William arrived in front of the final generator, the two Sweepers were blocking the front.
At first glance, this scene looked as if the two butchers had become protectors.
William took a crucifix out of his pocket, which emitted powerful Holy Power fluctuations. He smiled slightly, waving it in mid-air, full of provocation.
But in his other hand, he quietly took out a purple stone seal.
The two Sweepers roared for a moment, but their bodies didn't move.
"Quite disciplined, aren't we," William said, proactively approaching the vicinity of the generator.
Bubba and the Nurse immediately brandished their hand axe and sharp blade.
"For you to appear here means... the previous generator really did light up in your vision," William muttered to himself, regardless of whether the other party could understand him.
"But as the guards of this area, I suggest you two take another close look."
Crackle.
The campfire at the campsite next to the generator flared up.
The two Sweepers were still staring at William, but the next moment they both turned their heads together.
At the same time, by the gate.
Clatter, clatter, clatter...
Clatter, clatter...
Clack.
The previously bright light bulbs gradually dimmed, and the gears and piston parts also slowly came to a halt.
"It stopped!"
"It seems what was put in just now wasn't a hundred-year vintage holy artifact."
"Father Ruen, the item Father William gave you just now."
Ruen walked into the crowd and took that item out of his pocket.
Everyone looked down and discovered it was an amulet engraved with the Holy Land's Dome Temple, and the power it emitted was undoubtedly of hundred-year vintage quality.
Needless to say, everyone understood what to do now.
Ruen immediately placed the holy artifact into the generator's groove, and then the light bulbs lit up again.
"Come to me!"
Ruen clutched his head; after his power was restored, he heard that voice once again.
On the other side.
William already knew the moment the second generator was lit.
And the two Sweepers were momentarily stunned.
"Now's the time!" William narrowed his eyes.
Taking advantage of the Butchers' attention being drawn away, he used his consciousness to activate the stone seal in his hand.
[Catapult Start]
[Effect: When you start running, you can sprint at 150% of your normal speed. Duration: 3 seconds.]
[Message from the Evil Spirit: Although it's only 3 seconds, it's enough for you, isn't it?]
This item was obtained after William lit the generator by the gate.
Not long ago, after getting the holy artifact from the Nurse Butcher, he went to the closer burial spot of the hundred-year vintage holy artifact.
During this time, he also found an 80-year vintage holy artifact, and the generator by the gate was precisely lit by this holy artifact.
Time returned to the present.
Ignoring the stone seal's cryptic message, William immediately stepped toward the generator.
The next moment, his entire person turned into an afterimage.
William's base movement speed was already on par with the Sweepers. Now, with the blessing of the stone seal, the two Butchers didn't even have time to react.
Hearing a click-clack sound, the generator quickly began to operate, and the bright lighting instantly dispelled the dense fog nearby.
This action obviously enraged the two Sweepers.
Without any hesitation, they immediately swung their blades and hacked at William.
But the latter's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, appearing tens of meters away when he reappeared.
"If you want to see us off, please come to the gate," William waved to the two monsters.
Subsequently, he activated [Holy Step] again, and his figure also vanished into the cornstalks.
"Look quickly! The gate is powered!" Lynn pointed excitedly at the hand lever.
The others looked in that direction, and sure enough, they discovered the exit could already be opened.
Morale on the field instantly soared.
Austin also had a face full of pleasant surprise: "He actually really did it! And it only took a day!"
Then, without waiting for the others to act, Austin immediately pulled the hand lever.
Accompanied by a few prompt sounds, the gate opened to both sides, and a passage leading into the fog revealed itself before their eyes.
The several people present immediately walked inside.
"Wait! Father William hasn't arrived yet!" Lynn looked anxious.
"The last generator is a bit far from the gate..." Austin frowned.
Ruen put Vera down, his eyes also showing some anxiety.
But before long, a figure suddenly appeared in the distant cornstalks, arriving right before them after a few flashes. It was exactly William who had rushed over.
"This is... Holy Step! He really does have Bone Manifestation." Austin narrowed his eyes.
"Father William, are you alright!" Lynn went up to meet him.
William shook his head: "Let's go, those two guys should be arriving soon."
As soon as his voice fell, the urgent heartbeat sounded in everyone's ears once again.
The group hurriedly ran towards the passage.
When it was finally William's turn, the two Sweepers had already arrived at the gate entrance.
Without any pause, they instantly hacked toward this damn human.
But when the sharp blades fell, they were blocked by a patch of thorns, and William's figure was no longer before them.
