Volume 1 First Acquaintance Chapter 18 The Danger That Comes Between the Darkness
It was a pitch-black environment, and I couldn't see my fingers.
There was a whirring wind in my ears, like the whimper of a pack of wolves, and like the wail of a terrible ghost.
Cathy and Shi Xie walked in the dark, and their physical condition was a little bad.
Shi Xie's black coat was almost torn to pieces by the group of bloodthirsty bats, and he took it off and wrapped it around his waist to prevent the huge wound on his waist and abdomen from bleeding outward.
He was very resilient, but the black gas wrapped around the wound took time to clear.
That's dead air.
He didn't care about the sore spot from the wound, anyway, it wouldn't be long before it turned into a painless scar, he was just worried that his excessive blood loss would inevitably affect his fighting state.
Cathy was slightly better, but the black tights she was wearing for the mission had been torn open a few times.
Spring is just a flash, but fortunately, this environment does not make her too embarrassed.
Shi Xie, who was walking in front, held the torch and did not light it, but instead stretched out the other end of the torch for Cathy to hold.
At this time, the light and temperature will bring a great sense of security to the woman behind her, so that some of her broken emotions will be soothed.
But Shi Xie didn't do that.
He has his concerns.
It's important to have a good mindset, but safety is obviously much more important than a mindset.
Shi Xie didn't want to be the most obvious target in the night......
So he acted just to make sure that Cathy, who was walking behind her, wouldn't get lost in the darkness.
He was a cold man.
But he was by no means indifferent.
He was not willing to leave his companions alone and face danger alone.
What's more, Shi Xie's state was not as bad as it seemed, there was not much dead qi left, and the moment the dead qi was removed, he could recover his peak combat power.
Unlike Ed Kamien's Divine Law Combination talent, his Supreme is a direct attack talent.
Direct Attack talents do not instantly increase one's combat ability like Divine Law Combined Talents, nor do they significantly improve the user's combat environment like Support talents.
However, among the one hundred and seventy-two talents recorded in the talent table, the Supreme is undoubtedly the most powerful body quenching talent other than the first talent.
The owner of the supreme talent is baptized by the talent all the time, so that the talent owner can be more worthy of the name of 'supreme'.
And no one knows what the first talent is.
Then the supreme is the strongest talent of quenching the body.
In any case, the physical reinforcement that the Supreme brought him would allow him to adapt perfectly to this dark environment.
His eyes are comparable to the top night vision devices!
The Ring's ability to communicate was affected when they first entered the Taklamakan Desert.
By the time they had fully entered the ghost plane, the only thing left of the spirit ring's thousands of functions was to confirm the time, like a mobile phone that could not receive a signal.
This means that they cannot apply to the academy for help from the 'red pupils', nor can they report mission information to the academy.
That's where it's most dangerous.
Without the help of the Red Pupil, even the most senior Demon Hunter exploring the ghost plane would not necessarily be able to return alive.
Failure to provide timely feedback on the mission means that the completion of the task depends on the personal judgment of the Killing Commissioner.
Behind her, Cathy's threat to the Temple of the Earth in 'Clash of the Gods' has completely disappeared, and she has even become a bottle-like being after being attacked by bloodthirsty bats and dinosaurs.
Her talent called 'Binghe' couldn't be more wasteful in a place like this......
Demon hunters who lack actual combat experience might as well enter the intelligence department or equipment department to become a guardian.
Out of a responsible attitude for her life, Shi Xie had already proposed more than once that she should wait outside, and when she completed her task, she would naturally go out to meet her.
But this girl always insisted that she couldn't do anything, and she must be by Shi Xie's side to help him complete the task.
Stubborn to the point of being a little upset.
Stubborn to the point of being a little distressed.
Shi Xie ran his hand across the ring.
A spherical light curtain instantly appeared in front of him, and Shi Xie looked at the time before extinguishing the ring.
It's been ten hours.
From six o'clock last night to four o'clock this morning.
They've been moving at a constant pace in this dark and ghostly place.
Even if they walked slowly, it would be close to 70 kilometers.
The 70-kilometre journey has seen only two waves of attacks – one from bloodthirsty bats and one from dinosaurs.
Shi Xie thought to himself that if he couldn't meet a higher-level opponent, he should be able to be sure that this plane was just a second-level ghost plane.
He also carried a monitor lizard's tail around his waist, and if he had this tail, he should be able to complete the task when he returned to school.
He looked ahead, and always felt that this eerie plane was not just a second-level ghost plane.
He wanted to go a little deeper.
But Cathy behind him grabbed him.
"I said I could complete this task alone, if you are really scared, you can wait for me at the exit," Shi Xie said, turning his head to look at this sexy woman.
Those spring lights didn't even touch him in the slightest.
Cathy looked at the darkness ahead and said, "The mission has been completed, I have calculated that we have walked about 70 kilometers, no matter what level of ghost plane, it stands to reason that we should be able to get to the core, the exploration mission only needs us to probe a rough idea, and we don't need to take our lives to do something meaningless." ”
Shi Xie thought about it and felt that Cathy's words were not unreasonable.
He frowned and glanced ahead.
His instincts told him that there was a terrifying creature waiting for him in the dark place ahead.
He hates to keep others waiting, and even more so to be waited by a ghost.
But in the end, he chose to retreat with Cathy.
He didn't want to fight that creature, whatever it was.
It's not about self-confidence, it's some kind of intuition.
Some kind of terrible intuition.
It was as if an inner voice had been warning him to stay away from this place.
......
The way here has been cleaned of the ghosts guarding the passage, and the way back is naturally a bit boring.
Shi Xie stared at the straight road in the distance, and his heart suddenly throbbed.
He'd felt it before, just like he had been on that mission in Rio de Janeiro.
And on that mission, he almost died at the muzzle of a Barrett sniper.
He spun around and pulled Cathy behind him with a hard pull on the torch, staring solemnly at the empty path.
Although he couldn't see anything now, he knew that something was definitely approaching them at high speed.
The creature was menacing.
That creature is not good.
Cathy was startled by his movements, and was about to say something when she heard his muffled voice.
"Let's go! Get out of the plane and leave this place!"
"What about you, what about you?" asked Cathy subconsciously.
Shi Xie didn't answer this question, and repeated: "Hurry up!"
As if sensing the anxiety in Shi Xie's mood, Cathy didn't continue to insist, she let go of the torch and fled backwards.
Luckily, the road wasn't rough, and she could run as hard as she could without worrying about hitting a wall or anything.
A blazing light lit up from behind him.
Can't turn back!, Cathy said to herself in the bottom of her heart.
In fact, he didn't need to look at her to know that the creature must be extremely powerful, otherwise he didn't have to let himself go.
That tone doesn't feel like it's letting people go.
It's more like letting people run.
Run away.
Because he did not have the confidence to keep himself in the next battle.
......
Shi Xie looked at the huge monster in front of him.
Its eyes were red, and its body was filled with black air, but it bloomed with a sun-like glow, and its huge steel wings were stuck in its lion-like body.
It looked at Shi Xie like an ant.
Demonic energy surrounds the body, which is a sign of demonic spirit.
This guy is out of the ghost level.
It is clearly recorded in the killing manual, and the pictures and texts are detailed.
The sphin's claws, the eagle's face and eagle's wings, are for the griffin.
It is one of the world's apex predators and symbolizes absolute violence!
It is one of the most qualified mounts of all time, capable of fighting well and loyal.
It is one of the most primitive twelve demon spirits on the earth, and holds the most complex laws of the sky and forests on the earth.
Where it haunts, the goshawk can only fold its wings, and the lion can only whimper!
This guy was supposed to only appear in myths or stories that are too old to verify, but I didn't expect there to be one here.
With the existence of this Warcraft-level griffin alone, the level of this mission can at least reach the level of A+!
Shi Xie took off his tattered shirt, revealing his sturdy upper body.
He regretted a little that he didn't bring Muramasa out with him, and without Muramasa, he was not sure of killing the griffin.
The supreme introverted is the supreme talent of exercising the body, and the supreme outward release is the supreme momentum that deters foreign enemies.
But no matter how tempered his flesh is, it is impossible to be stronger than a griffin at the level of a demonic beast.
As for momentum...... The griffin is the king of the forest and the sky, how can such a thing as momentum work for it.
The only thing Shi Xie felt relieved about was that he still had a torch in his hand, and with King Kong, who was ranked 67th in the Divine Law, he could barely resist the griffin's claws.
If he really finds the opportunity, he is not without the ability to kill the griffon.
He has a secret that no one knows except him and Metar.
He had already reached the Seventh Order Divine Soul a month ago.
Seventh-order, palace-level main god.
Even if it is the four guardians of the Divine Society, it is only the eighth order.
He was more than capable of holding out until reinforcements arrived.
Yes, the academy will definitely send demon hunters to rescue as soon as they know what is happening here.
No matter who comes, as long as you can bring your own knife, it will be enough to turn the tide.
And you just need to hold on until that time.
Shi Xie raised the torch and looked at the ultimate creature with a solemn gaze.
The creature looked at him with the same gaze.
He wanted to say something, he knew that this animal could understand human language.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
Any language before the start of the battle is a sign of weakness.
So words are not needed to fight.
So the battle is on the verge of breaking out.
