Nightmare Beasts, monsters born from the darkness.

It is said that as long as darkness exists, the Nightmare Beast will never disappear and will never be wiped out.

For those struggling to survive in the Land of Eternal Night, Nightmare Beasts are their greatest enemies, eternal nightmares.

Of course, it's also Kodaka's nightmare.

This sudden encounter with the nightmare wolf reminded him of the destruction of his village and the tragic death of his parents, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, his legs were numb, and there seemed to be something blocked in his throat, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

It feels like drowning, the whole person is submerged and falls towards the abyss, and the fear of powerless struggle is so terrifying!

And the greedy flame-hungry wolf in its eyes stared at Xiao Gao like a glutton, and it approached the prey step by step without hurrying, ready to feast.

Nightmare beasts not only eat people, but they also devour souls!

Finished!

Xiao Gao, whose hands and feet are cold, has realized that he is far from being as strong and brave as he imagined.

Uncle Qiu was right, with his age and strength, it was a joke to deal with the Nightmare Beast with the courage of his blood.

A lone wolf can make him fall into a situation from which he will never recover!

Fear and regret intertwined in Xiao Gao's mind, and the teenage boy couldn't help but be disillusioned as he saw the nightmare wolf getting closer and closer to him.

It doesn't matter if he dies himself, but what about his sister Xiaoying?

Without his protection, how could Jin Xiong let Xiao Ying go!

No, I can't die!!

Xiao Gao bit his lip fiercely, his teeth tearing open his muscles, and red blood gushed out.

The severe pain also made him wake up all of a sudden, and subconsciously re-grasped the short knife in his hand.

Oh!

At the same time, the breath of blood stimulated the nightmare wolf a few steps away, and it suddenly jumped up with a low roar, opened its blood basin and bit Xiao Gao's throat.

For a hungry nightmare beast, there is nothing more luscious than hot blood and the soul of a teenager.

But at this moment, Xiao Gao took out a handful of fire powder from the leather bag he carried with him, and threw it at the nightmare wolf with all his might.

Fire powder is a powder made by grinding sacrificial stones, and the source of its material is the rock that has been calcined by the sacrificial fire for many years.

Every year, the priests of Oishi Village would remove the stones laid on the top of the altar and replace them with new ones.

And the stone that was taken down was the sacrificial stone.

The fire powder made from the sacrificial stone is a sharp weapon used by the hunters in the village to deal with the beasts, and it is quite valuable due to the limited quantity.

All Takaka got was a small bag.

The powder ignited automatically the moment it was thrown, and instantly turned into a hot and bright flame, roaring towards the pounced wolf, and fell right into the latter's mouth.

The nightmare wolf, who wanted a good meal, never dreamed that this cowardly and weak prey in front of him still had the courage to resist, and it also hit its vital point.

Whew!

It fell to the ground with a terrible howl, and the crimson flames of its mouth and nose were exuding from it, and the pain was extreme.

Fire powder has a strong restraint effect on low-level nightmare beasts, otherwise it would be impossible for the hunters in the village to hunt the ferocious nightmare beasts, although this nightmare wolf is stronger than those pikas, foxes and dogs and other nightmare beasts, but it can't withstand the damage of swallowing the flames alive.

Its throat and mouth are almost roasted!

Seeing the nightmare wolf rolling back and forth on the ground, Xiao Gao, who was blind when he touched the dead mouse, was overjoyed, and immediately forgot his fear of the nightmare, and rushed forward with a short knife.

Xiao Ying's father had told him before that the Nightmare Beast's recovery ability was very strong, and to deal with the Nightmare Beast, it had to be completely killed, and the Nightmare Beast should not be given any respite!

Xiao Gao remembered these words firmly, and he also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he did not hesitate at all.

Kill this nightmare, and he'll be eligible to ascend to the altar for the Fire Trial!

Swallowing the blood in his mouth, Xiao Gao gritted his teeth and slashed at the neck of the nightmare wolf with all his might.

Everyone knows that the best way to kill a Nightmare Beast once and for all is to cut off its head.

However, Xiao Gao underestimated the strength of the Nightmare Wolf.

Despite the unprecedented heavy damage, this nightmare wolf did not completely lose the ability to resist, and at the moment when Xiao Gao swung his knife, it suddenly howled and jumped up, knocking Xiao Gao to the ground by surprise!

The sharp wolf claws fiercely tore apart Xiao Gao's right arm.

The short knife he was holding was flung aside.

Xiao Gao's mind went blank!

He was not at the same level as the Nightmare Wolf's strength, and he lost the best chance of victory just now, and immediately fell into danger.

The wolf's eyes had turned red, full of painful madness.

After successfully suppressing Xiao Gao, it immediately wanted to bite the little guy who was causing it pain.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the wolf couldn't help but let out a low howl.

It hurts so much!

Although the flame in its throat had been extinguished, the damage caused could not be recovered immediately, and it opened its mouth to pull at the wound, and its tail stood up in pain.

For a while, there was no time to kill Xiao Gao.

Poof!

The next moment, a rusty dagger stabbed into the wolf's neck.

But it was Xiao Gao who came to his senses again at the critical moment and pulled out the last weapon on his body with his left hand.

It happened to stab the nightmare wolf in the heart.

The blow was fatal!

When the wolf fell, there was still a look of disbelief in the wolf's eyes.

The heavy corpse pressed against Xiao Gao's body, and it took him a lot of strength to struggle to push it away.

At this time, Xiao Gao found that his right arm and left leg had been torn open by wolf claws, and several bloody wounds had been torn apart.

Visible bones!

The teenager couldn't help but laugh miserably.

He was really very lucky to be able to kill the nightmare, and if he faced it head-to-head, it was estimated that ten of him would not be enough for this nightmare beast to kill.

But Kodaka won.

It's just that he was also injured a lot, and the massive blood loss made him feel dizzy and his body gradually weakened.

In such a situation, let alone returning with the hunting nightmare wolf, it is still a question whether he can survive.

You know, this is a wilderness shrouded in darkness, and other nightmare beasts smell blood at any time.

He'll have to die then!

"Kodaka~"

At this time, Xiao Gao suddenly heard a familiar call from afar.

He couldn't believe his ears and suspected that he was hallucinating.

"Xiao Gao!"

The voice rang out again, and the distance was closer.

This time, Xiao Gao was sure that he had heard correctly, and he heard that it was Uncle Qiu who was calling him!

He even saw torches dangling in the distance.

Before losing consciousness, Xiao Gao used his last strength to grab the last handful of fire powder in his skin.

Swing into the air.

A little flame drifted through the darkness.

It is light and hope.
