Chapter 132: The Labyrinth
The night wind erodes the bones, but it can't blow away the thick clouds in the sky, and the night when the stars and moon are not visible looks particularly dark.
Shi Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoshuang did not choose to take the bus. The opponent is a nightmare hunter who is far beyond the ability of ordinary people, and entering the relatively closed carriage will only restrict his movements, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of. What's more, if the two of them get serious, their travel speed is not much slower than driving.
"Wait a minute!" Shi Yuxuan suddenly beckoned to Chen Xiaoshuang, who was leading the way in front, "Where did you encounter the attack?" ”
"It's probably less than a kilometer or so, what's wrong?" Chen Xiaoshuang stopped and asked strangely.
"They turned to ......" Shi Yuxuan stretched out his slender hand and grabbed it in the air, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, frowning, "There is a very strong fishy smell in the air, what kind of powerful poison is used by the surname Chen here, but it doesn't seem to have caused any damage to the enemy......"
Shi Yuxuan bent down and groped on the ground, sometimes picking up a handful of dusty things from the ground, her face was quite serious, as if she was trying to distinguish something. Chen Xiaoshuang didn't dare to disturb, and carefully stood with his hands hanging not far behind her, his sharp eyes vigilantly sweeping the darkness around him.
"They turned that way...... The footsteps are very hasty, it seems that the situation is not good......" After a while, Shi Yuxuan straightened up, gently patted the dust on his hands, faced in one direction, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go over and take a look, you follow me, don't go too far." ”
"Yes." Chen Xiaoshuang nodded seriously, took out a black-painted revolver from his arms with his right hand, and pulled out a sharp dagger from his back waist with his left hand.
Shi Yuxuan didn't prepare any weapons, she naturally walked in front to lead the way, her steps didn't seem fast, but the speed of progress was not slow at all, especially when she landed, she was very light, and her footsteps couldn't be heard on the quiet street on this cold night.
Chen Xiaoshuang took a deep breath and followed lightly, she is also a master of stealth, although she is not as chic and natural as Shi Yuxuan's movements, but she also adjusts her footsteps and breathing inaudibly.
The two of them walked one after the other for more than ten minutes, and the front was already the end of the long street, but at this time, Shi Yuxuan, who was leading the way in front, suddenly turned around and faced a deep alley.
This is the gap between the two buildings, the street lamps near the partial life have been damaged, and the alley mouth is like a black hole monster mouth, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door automatically.
"Here we are." Shi Yuxuan whispered, and strode towards the alley. Chen Xiaoshuang's figure also appeared at the entrance of the alley, she hesitated for a moment, but still followed in.
The alley is very deep, after walking into four or five meters, it is already dark and she can't see her fingers, Shi Yuxuan walked forward a few meters and then stopped, only to see her reach out and flick it lightly in the air, a powder that emits a faint fluorescence is sprinkled out, after these powders see the air, the fluorescence on the body suddenly lights up, and the green fluorescence is particularly dazzling in this dark space, and the surrounding scenery is instantly illuminated.
"This ......" Chen Xiaoshuang, who was following behind, couldn't help but exclaim, but he saw seven or eight people lying down around Shi Yuxuan's standing position, looking at the outfit, it was actually the people of the Wanxian Hall who had ambushed their brothers and sisters on the road before, one of them was facing Shi Yuxuan, a person who was sitting down against the foot of the wall, wearing a dark Mao suit, looking like he was about forty or fifty years old, but his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there seemed to be a trace of fear between his eyebrows.
Chen Xiaoshuang knew this person, he was the deputy hall master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, known as the "Poison Immortal", and the king-level nightmare hunter whose poisonous skills were second only to Shi Yuxuan-Chen Zheng!
"It's all dead...... Shi Yuxuan squatted down expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and groped on Chen Zheng's corpse, the expression on his face became even more ugly, "Died of heart palsy, to be exact, the soul has dissipated...... It was the Nightmare who did it. ”
"You mean they're all hunted by the 'Hunters'? However, what kind of hunter can kill so many Nightmare Hunters at once, and there are two king-level masters among them? Chen Xiaoshuang stepped forward with an incredible expression on his face, and with the help of fluorescent lighting, they examined the corpses on the ground together.
"That's not right!" Chen Xiaoshuang suddenly shouted, "They should be ten people, there are only eight corpses here, and besides, there is also the corpse of a king-level master who is not here!" ”
"The corpse is not cold...... Bad! Let's get out of here first! Shi Yuxuan was also taken aback, turned around and grabbed Chen Xiaoshuang's arm and was about to run out of the alley.
However, it was too late, and just as they had just taken two steps, a strong feeling of dizziness came, and then the surrounding environment changed, and the originally dark alley disappeared, and the surrounding area was bright.
Shi Yuxuan looked up, and saw that the place where the two of them were standing at the moment was a straight corridor, the walls on the left and right sides, the floor under their feet, and the ceiling above their heads were all made of silver metal, and the light source came from nowhere, but the surrounding area was indeed spacious and bright, and the most strange thing was that there was not even a shadow left under their feet.
"Is this the 'Soul Hunting Realm'?" Chen Xiaoshuang looked around a little nervously, it was the first time she encountered the attack of the "Hunter Patrol", which was inevitable, because if she was only a general-level strength, if she encountered a "Hunter Patrol" with at least high-level Nightmare strength, it would be a desperate situation of death and no life. Fortunately, this time he was not alone by his side, and a powerful arm was standing beside him indifferently.
"That's right, this is the 'Soul Hunting Realm'." Shi Yuxuan stretched out his hand and gently touched the metal floor on the side, muttering, "The spatial structure is very sophisticated, the enemy is definitely not an ordinary high-level nightmare, it seems that the guy who wiped out the people of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace is here......
"But, Senior Shi, we haven't released the Nightmare Energy along the way, why were we discovered by the rangers?" Chen Xiaoshuang was quite puzzled, the horror of the rangers, as long as the hunters with a certain level of qualifications are very clear, so in the real world, they will be very careful to avoid risks. Generally speaking, as long as you don't release Nightmare Energy, you won't reveal your identity as a Nightmare Hunter, and you won't be able to attract an attack from the other party.
"Just call me Sister Xuan, I have been with Shen Hao for hundreds of years, so I don't have to see each other so much." Shi Yuxuan smiled back and explained, "The other party's main target should not be us, at least for now, it hasn't noticed our existence yet. ”
"I think that the opening of the 'Soul Hunting Domain' of the other party this time is mainly aimed at the two surviving Nightmare Hunters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Palace, but every time the 'Soul Hunting Domain' is opened, it will not only ingest the soul of the target person, but also randomly involve the souls of some nearby humans together." Shi Yuxuan smiled bitterly, "And we should have suffered from the pond fish this time, our biggest mistake was not to appear near that during this time period......"
"That'...... What should we do now? Chen Xiaoshuang touched her body tangledly, the 'Soul Hunting Domain' is not like the normal Nightmare Realm, when the soul is ingested, the items that exist in the real world cannot be brought into it, so the dagger and pistol on her body before are not on her body at the moment, and she is somewhat uneasy when she loses her weapon.
"Let's go find the whereabouts of that demon first." Shi Yuxuan pulled the green silk on the back of her head, tied it with a ribbon, and rolled the cuffs in half, revealing two white jade-like wrists, "Hunters usually eat up all the souls that are involved in the 'Soul Hunting Domain', whether you are a Nightmare Hunter or not, so we can't sit still, instead of waiting here for the enemy to come to the door, it is better to find it before the other party finds us." ”
"It's best that the guys from the Ten Thousand Immortal Hall can hold on for a while longer, giving us a chance to sneak attack from behind." Chen Xiaoshuang added understandingly.
"That's right." Shi Yuxuan smiled, and the second daughter immediately ran towards the end of the corridor.
In the real space they left, the two of them didn't need to deliberately suppress their strength, and at the moment, their bodies were like the wind, and they had already rushed to the end of the corridor in a few seconds.
However, this does not seem to be a simple corridor, the end is divided into two passages, left and right, Shi Yuxuan frowned, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
"Here...... Maybe it's a labyrinth! Chen Xiaoshuang also found something wrong.
"Labyrinth or not, you have to keep going." Shi Yuxuan nodded and took the lead towards the passage on the left.
The 'Soul Hunting Domain' is a small "Nightmare Realm" constructed by the rangers for predation, and its size and spatial structure density directly reflect the strength of the owner. Generally speaking, the 'Soul Hunting Domain' is not too large, because too much space will consume part of the strength of the Nightmare Demon's body, and on the other hand, it will make the prey involved too scattered, so it is obviously not a good choice for the Nightmare who is preparing to enjoy a big meal.
However, nothing is absolute, when the strength of the Nightmare is strong to the point of self-confidence and arrogance, and there is some cat-and-mouse bad taste, such a strange 'soul hunting realm' will also exist.
And at this moment, Shi Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoshuang happened to encounter this situation.
The maze is very large and the structure is quite complex, and even at the speed of the two of them, they still can't find an exit after five minutes. In the meantime, they also encountered a lot of innocent souls, they were at a loss to know what to do in this huge metal maze, and they would also shout hello when they saw them hurrying away, but whether it was Shi Yuxuan or Chen Xiaoshuang, they were not in the mood to stop and answer their questions, if they couldn't find the nightmare demon before the guys in the Ten Thousand Immortal Hall were completely destroyed, then the battle would be passive.
Fortunately, the maze is large, but it's not endless. Ten minutes later, the end of the corridor suddenly opened up, and a huge square appeared in front of me.
