Chapter 389: Ruins

Xu Yichen ran forward with a roll, and the black strips around him kept 'passing by', making him feel as if he had returned to the old days.

As a political commissar of the republic, it is common to lead an elite team to carry out decapitation missions for a long time, and it is common to be chased and killed by the opponent's heavy firepower behind enemy lines.

However, at that time, Xu Yichen generally had the authority to call the air and space strike at any time, and he also had a strong and reliable personal exoskeleton armor to rely on.

Although the [Embers of Ashes] he was wearing now was not bad, this kind of penetrating attack was extremely strong, and eighty percent of it also contained biotoxins, and the demon hunter didn't want to challenge the limits of his equipment.

Xu Yichen chose to rely on his sense of direction to escape in a straight line as much as possible, he didn't have time to leave a mark on the way to escape, he was worried that the route was too complicated and would let him get lost in this strange forest.

The Demon Hunter hoped that after the behemoth behind him lost interest in him, he would have a chance to follow the mark left by the other party.

The bad news is that the beast behind it seems to have spotted itself, driving a 'highway' through the forest along the way, and after fifteen minutes, still refusing to give up.

The good news is that the Demon Hunter encounters several strange Chaos creatures along the way, but before they can greet them cordially, they are shot into a sieve by the giant beast that rolls all the way behind them.

The worst to die were three low-hovering black bats with spear-like tails and snake-like heads.

Xu Yichen had just seen them use their tails to stab another monster that couldn't tell what it was, and before they could attack themselves, they were shot in mid-air.

Not only that, but the giant beast that dragged the prey that was shot back into its body during the tumbling and digested and decomposed it has greatly improved its ability to listen to voices and defend positions.

Xu Yichen had almost been pierced by the opponent's biological weapon twice, and in the process of dodging, the long sword in the hand of the demon hunter seized the opportunity again and again to shoot down the 'flies' around him one by one.

When the last 'fly' was pinched and exploded in the palm of Xu Yichen's hand, the giant beast behind him had already evolved a fist-sized eyeball on the top of one of the black stripes.

At this time, the eyeballs with long stalks were observing the position of the demon hunters from the highest point with every opportunity to be spit out.

It is then quickly retracted by the beast, repeating the next time the bulge rolls over its body.

On the way to hunt down the demon hunters before, a strange creature the size of a puppy that looked like a hedgehog, but the strange creature with eyeballs on the tip of each spike was eaten by the other party.

As a result, it took nearly ten minutes for the giant beast behind him to give birth to a new organ from its body.

Of course, the changes don't stop there, as the skin, which looked wet and looked like jelly when soaked in water, has also been transformed into a leather-like appearance as it rolls on land.

The Demon Hunter had no doubt that it wouldn't be long before this thing could evolve wings if it made its way out of the Chaos Pollution Zone.

Of course, if it weren't within the range of the Chaos Pollution Zone, the opponent's mutation speed would not be so fast.

But for Xu Yichen, the road in front of him is getting narrower and narrower at this time.

If it weren't for the cold beneath his feet, a broken gravel pavement that was almost hidden under the dirt, the Demon Hunter would have had to risk turning back.

There is an artificially paved pavement, which proves that there are likely other man-made structures nearby, Xu Yichen carefully observed the surrounding environment as he ran, and headed in the direction of the relatively sparse trees.

The hard work paid off, and after a short distance of a few hundred meters, the demon hunter saw hope.

The remains of a huge pyramid-shaped building towering in the vast forest appeared in front of him, and many dilapidated outbuildings stubbornly resisted the erosion of time.

But in the face of the ancient, but still strong-rooted, pyramid-shaped building, the rest of the buildings seemed insignificant.

This was far more in line with the best-case scenario that the Demon Hunter had envisioned, with the terrain complex enough and the stone buildings being relatively well defended.

The Demon Hunter didn't care about the poisonous vines that were still wriggling like biological veins attached to the building, and whether the thick gray-white moss would cause trouble for him, and he rolled and hid in a natural bunker of collapsed stones.

Xu Yichen cautiously lay on the ground, clinging to a boulder, not even daring to raise his head, he took advantage of the fact that the eye handle used by the giant beast behind him to observe the environment retracted into his body.

At this time, the strip with eyes once again stood high above the body of the giant beast like a periscope, observing the surrounding environment.

Relying on the special effects brought by the [Bathing Divine Blood], the sharp barbs on the vines were directly crushed by the face of the demon hunter, and he could only twist his body unwillingly.

The gray-white moss like a living creature quickly surrounded Xu Yichen's bare palm, but it couldn't do any harm to the other party.

A faint burning sensation passed from the palm of the hand, but it stopped there.

The Demon Hunter tried to soften his breathing as much as possible, but the long run made his lungs subconsciously thirst for more oxygen to enter.

But these can be overcome by will, Xu Yichen restrained his internal organs, and let them slowly calm down.

Quietly, the demon hunter carefully exhaled a faint stream of air.

The beast seemed to wonder why its prey had suddenly disappeared, and writhed its fat body in dissatisfaction, staying in place, not continuing to roll, but spitting out its newly grown observation eyes over and over again.

That kind of black strip needs to rely on instant congestion to become indestructible, and when it is ejected, it will become as weak as a noodle, so it cannot be kept on a high point all the time.

With each ejection, the behemoth gains nearly two seconds of observation time and then proceeds to the next ejection at an interval of five seconds, but at the same time, the opponent does not lose its ability to sense the vibrations of the air around it.

The behemoth hesitated on the outskirts of the ruins, as if reluctant to enter the apparently artificially constructed place, as if afraid of something, which lifted the heart of the demon hunter once more.

The previous encounters with other Chaos monsters made Xu Yichen know that the enemy in front of him clearly occupied the position of predator in this corrupted area.

If there's anything that makes it feel jealous, it's another stronger predator.
