Of course, Guhan's teammates did not go to Terminal T2. They went to Aardwolf's base to get the filth removal equipment. Guhan was just deceiving Aardwolf and him.
Less than three minutes later, the sound of a roaring engine rang through the parking lot. It was Steel Centipede driving the Predator back.
Seeing Steel Centipede and the others getting off the Predator, Aardwolf stood up in surprise. He pointed at Guhan's nose and asked, "You … What do you mean? Didn't you say they went to Terminal T2?"
"It's okay. Calm down …" Guhan pressed Aardwolf's finger. "They are indeed going to Terminal T2, but before they go to Terminal T2, they have to go somewhere else. For example, to get something that can help you return to normal."
Speaking of this, Hongyu cooperated and removed the filth removal equipment from Aardwolf's base. Guhan took the equipment and showed it to Aardwolf. He smiled and said, "You should be very familiar with this thing.
It's okay. When I remove the filth from your body, you will return to normal. "
"No, I am normal. I don't need to remove any filth!"
Aardwolf was so scared that he took a step back, but he immediately pounced on Guhan, trying to snatch the filth removal equipment from Guhan's hand.
Unfortunately, with Guhan's movement skills, how could he let Aardwolf touch him? With just a gentle twist, he dodged Aardwolf's attack. Then, Steel Centipede and the others rushed forward and pressed Aardwolf to the ground.
"Don't get excited, Mr. Aardwolf. I will help you return to normal right away!"
Guhan opened the cover of the filth removal equipment and cut his hand. Blood flowed down from Guhan's wrist like a spring and flowed into the filth removal equipment, just like what Aardwolf did last time.
"How do you know how to use it!"
When the aardwolf saw how skillfully Guhan used the device, it was instantly shocked. It struggled even more intensely, but when it was suppressed by five powerful Famed Swordsmen, the aardwolf could not move a single step. It could only watch as the device purified Guhan's blood into a faint yellow serum.
Guhan tore open Aardwolf's clothes and found the hole in Aardwolf's chest. Under Aardwolf's desperate and creepy smile, Guhan poured all the pale yellow serum into the hole in Aardwolf's chest.
The moment the serum was completely injected, the aardwolf let out a heart-wrenching cry. Balls of reddish-purple flames burned from the aardwolf's skin, but strangely, the flames did not burn the aardwolf's skin.
The You siblings, who were close to Aardwolf, didn't feel any heat. Instead, they felt a burst of cold.
When the reddish-purple flames gradually extinguished from the Aardwolf's body, the Aardwolf gradually calmed down. Guhan looked at the time. It had been an hour since the start of the dungeon.
…
"Tell me, what is the right way to save Artoria!"
Long Yu placed his sword on Aardwolf's neck. "If you don't want to be sucked away by the dimensional vortex, tell me how to save the real Artoria.
The real way to remove the filth from her body. "
"The real way to remove the filth?"
Facing the sword on his neck, Aardwolf couldn't help but laugh. "It's useless. Do you think I'll tell you why?
Hurry up and kill me. Just kill me. "
"I won't kill you … but don't think that I have no way to make you tell me the truth!"
Long Yu sneered and whispered some instructions to Xue Leixing. Then, he picked up his famed sword and stabbed it into the Aardwolf's stomach.
"Ah!"
Aardwolf let out a grunt, but it didn't faze Xue Lei Xing. Instead, sword after sword stabbed into Aardwolf's abdomen. After stabbing more than a dozen times, Aardwolf's blood was basically drained. He was already in a precarious situation. One more strike and he could return to the dimensional vortex.
"Captain, it's done. He only has less than 0.5% HP left. If we attack him again, he'll really die," Xue Leixing said.
He had used his Ancient Sword-grade Swordlady to stab Aardwolf. That was how he managed to control his HP to 0.5%.
"0.5%. That's enough. That's enough."
Long Yu stabbed the Soul-Manipulating Demon Sword into his body again. Then, he extended his Soul-Manipulating Demon Hand and stabbed it into Aardwolf's temple …
Long Yu's intentions were clear. Since he couldn't hear the truth from Aardwolf's mouth, he would go deep into Aardwolf's soul and interrogate it … Fortunately, Long Yu's Ancient Sword-grade Swordlady had chosen the Soul-Manipulating Demon Sword. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to do anything to Aardwolf.
The success rate of using the Soul-Manipulating Demon Sword to control Yuan Kou's soul depended on his own strength and how weak the other party's vitality was.
In terms of strength, Aardwolf was a Flood Dragon. Long Yu, who was also a Famed Sword-grade, did not have absolute confidence in suppressing Aardwolf.
That was why Long Yu had Xue Leixing lower Aardwolf's HP to the lowest possible level. Then, he used the Soul-Manipulating Demon Hand to control Aardwolf's soul.
However, Long Yu couldn't directly read the aardwolf's memories … He had to get the answers he wanted out of the aardwolf's mouth one sentence at a time. What reassured Long Yu was that once he was successfully controlled by the Soul Mastery Demon Hand, then the aardwolf's every word would be the truth. Long Yu didn't have to worry about hearing a single lie.
Seeing Aardwolf being controlled by his Soul-Manipulating Demon Hand, Long Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If he had thought of this last time, or if he had been suspicious of Aardwolf and directly used the Soul-Manipulating Demon Sword to control him, perhaps he would have been able to clear the entire S-rank dungeon yesterday, and he wouldn't have had to come here again today.
But on second thought, this might not be a good thing. If he had succeeded yesterday, then why would that Military Governor foolishly gamble such a large sum of wealth with the Great Waves of Azure Waves?
"System Notification: Aardwolf Yuan Kou has been affected by the blood loss effect of the Broken Blood Sword. He will lose 3 HP per second for 30 seconds."
Xue Leixing was a little embarrassed when he heard this system notification. "Sorry, Captain. It seems that the blood loss effect was triggered at the last moment. Aardwolf only has less than 90 HP left. I'm afraid he won't be able to last for 30 seconds."
"I understand …" Long Yu's heart trembled. He knew that he had to pick the main points and quickly finish his questions before Aardwolf died.
Long Yu: "Aardwolf, why did you lie to us to save Artoria?"
Aardwolf: "Because the Martyr's Palace hoped that a Yuan Kou would be able to gain the trust of the humans and enter the human world to obtain information for the filth.
At the appropriate time, they would deactivate Yan Jing's defense system and work together with the Martyr's Palace to destroy Yan Jing.
So they had me pretend to remove the filth and trick you into coming to Xianyang Airport. "
Long Yu: "Then is Artoria infected by the filth?"
Aardwolf: "Infected by the filth …" Aardwolf replied with a dull look in his eyes. "But the moment Artoria was infected by the filth, she activated the Wind King Array and used her scabbard to collect the dimensional energy around her to resist the filth's invasion."
Long Yu: "What will happen if the scabbard is unsheathed?"
Aardwolf: "Once the scabbard is unsheathed, the Wind King Array will dissipate, and Artoria will not be able to resist the filth's invasion. When she wakes up again, she will be completely controlled by the filth."
Long Yu asked, "What's going on with the magic that binds Artoria there? How can we get rid of the binding magic?"
Aardwolf: "It was Merlin who bound Artoria here. He didn't want Artoria to be controlled by the filth again, but he couldn't really go against the filth's will.
So, he used magic to bind Artoria here.
The spell that binds Artoria is a spell that Merlin cast with the power of the Wind King Array.
Unless we destroy the Wind King Array or use Merlin's magic scroll, there's no other way to release Artoria. "
Long Yu: "What's the difference between using a magic scroll and taking out a scabbard?"
Aardwolf: "Merlin's magic scroll can remove the binding magic and solidify part of the Wind King Array's power into Artoria's brain.
When Artoria leaves the Wind King Array, the filth can only control Artoria's body, but it can't control Artoria's consciousness, turning her into a madwoman who fights based on instinct and kills anyone she sees.
If the scabbard is removed, Artoria will be like me, allowing the filth to control all her organs, including her brain. She will become an intelligent puppet of the filth. "
Long Yu: "How can we remove the filth from Artoria's body?"
Aardwolf: "There's only one way … Find my removal equipment and pour a normal person's blood into it, purify it into serum, and pour it into Artoria's body through the hole in her chest. Then, the filth in Artoria's body can be removed.
But it must be fast. Once the Wind King Array is destroyed, we won't be able to pour the serum into Artoria before she wakes up, and she won't be able to remove the filth. "
Long Yu: "Where's your removal equipment?"
"It's at …" Aardwolf gave an address in great detail.
"Captain, 30 seconds is almost up. Captain, we're running out of time," Xue Lei Xing, who had been paying attention to Aardwolf's HP, suddenly said.
"Why do I feel that Merlin isn't controlled by the filth …" Long Yu asked the last question, which was something he really wanted to understand.
Because no matter how he looked at it, Merlin's actions seemed to be protecting Artoria from being completely controlled by the filth … This was almost the complete opposite of the filth's will.
Unfortunately, Aardwolf's HP was completely empty at this time, and he could no longer answer this question. He fell to the ground, and a Dimensional Vortex appeared out of thin air. Not long after, Aardwolf's corpse was taken away.
"Remove the scabbard, bring Artoria, and we'll leave immediately …"
