Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hunt for the Confessor

Look around.

The streets of Nuoda were empty and silent, and the light mist seemed to cover the surroundings with a light veil.

Du Mu looked far away, but he could still only see the situation of about fifty meters, and it was hazy in the distance.

After listening for a while, he didn't notice that there were footsteps echoing, so Du Mu took a step forward and walked cautiously in the direction of the square.

The journey was uneventful, and I didn't encounter any nightmare monsters.

Until near the square, Du Mu looked intently and found that the countless corpses that had broken free from the chains and chased him a few nights ago were still staying on the cross, tightly bound by thick chains.

Du Mu kept close to about twenty meters from the square before he stopped and used the combat power detector on the corpse on the cross.

No movement!

"It seems that these nightmare monsters can only detect their combat power when they wake up, and they are no different from ordinary stones when they are asleep. ”

"The combat power detector is not omnipotent, and you can't rely on it too much in the future!"

Secretly alert in his heart, Du Mu thought for a while, took out a navy soldier figure from the dimensional house, and summoned a navy first-class private.

Since the Silver Ring Gang consumed five naval soldier figures in World War I, Du Mu has drawn three more figures one after another during this time.

Just in case, this time he planned to let the navy soldiers explore the way first, so as not to put himself in the situation of going deep into the enemy line last time and almost dying again.

After the summoning was successful, Du Mu ordered the naval soldiers to move forward, and he quickly retreated, stopping more than forty meters away from the square, and intently observing the situation on the square.

The sailors soon reached the edge of the square, and as soon as they stepped onto the square, the confessor on a cross near the edge suddenly opened his eyes, and the cloudy eyeballs spun in a circle and fell sharply on the sailors.

In the next second, it struggled violently, and the chains that bound its body rattled, quickly loosened and fell.

"It seems that the speed of breaking free is much faster than last time!" Du Mu, who was not far away, said secretly, and gave the order to the naval soldiers to flee in his heart.

Without saying a word, the soldier turned and left, but instead of giving up and falling back asleep, the awakened confessor intensified his struggle, and in less than five seconds it managed to break free, fall from the cross, and get up and chase after the soldier.

"Very good, the lure was successful!"

Du Mu looked at the square from afar and found that only one confessor chased him out, and the other confessors did not move at all, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he kicked the ground hard under his feet, and the whole person flew out quickly.

The confessor seemed to have a stiff body, but he moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the naval soldier, and shook the chain in his hand from a distance of seven or eight meters, turning into a gray light meteor and striking at the back of the naval soldier.

It can be expected that once a naval soldier with a combat strength of only 25 points receives this blow, he will be seriously injured and lose his combat effectiveness, even if he does not die.

Du Mu could not let it hurt his summon, his pace sped up by a few points, and he passed by the naval soldier at the last moment, and the black sword slashed out quickly, hitting the top of the chain that hit the attack with precision.

Boom!

With a crisp sound of golden iron and gold, the chains flew back and returned to the hands of the penitent.

"Quite a lot of strength!"

Du Mu carefully looked at the confessor.

It looked like a shriveled and gray corpse, with a fist-thick silver-gray chain wrapped around it, and it seemed to be a single one, with the ends of the head and tail held in the penitent's left and right hands, and the top part hung down to the ground, slowly squirming like life, and the sight made the scalp tingle.

The strange scene in front of him made Du Mu frown slightly, and he secretly mentioned in his heart that he was very careful.

Roar!

Just as Du Mu was looking, the confessor took the lead in attacking, a low roar like the roar of a wild beast came out of his throat, and with a flick of his right arm, the wriggling chains on the ground instantly rose up like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and rushed towards Du Mu at an astonishing speed.

Du Mu flashed to the side the moment it raised its hand, and the chain suddenly flew into the air, hitting the ground not far behind him.

Rumble!

The hard ground exploded, revealing a large crack, leaving a fist-sized hole in the middle, embedded deep in the top of the chain.

Taking advantage of the penitent's pulling of the chains, Du Mu quickly approached, swung his sword halfway to slash another attacking chain, bullied into a meter in front of the penitent, and the black sword slashed like a streamer into the gap around its neck that was not entangled by chains.

According to Du Mu's guess, a corpse-like confessor may have a different body structure than ordinary people, and the key points will be different, but in any case, he will always die without a head, right?

Therefore, as soon as he attacked, he aimed at the neck of the penitent, intending to cut off its head with a single sword.

Unexpectedly, the chain around the penitent's neck suddenly moved strangely, directly covering the gap, and the black sword that Du Mu swung slashed at it, rubbing out a large spark.

"Damn!"

With a scolding voice, Du Mu suddenly heard the sound of strong wind coming from behind him, and he didn't think about it, so he suddenly threw himself to the side, dodging the chains that attacked behind him.

The battle is at a stalemate!

The combat power of the confessor who was lured out in front of him was as high as 41, which was about the same as Du Mu's strength and agility, and there were strange chains like spirituality as weapons, the attack was flexible and changeable, and the defense was quick and timely.

Du Mu felt extremely troubled by this.

As time passed, the penitent seemed to lose his patience, and roared again and again, and after another miss, he snapped his hands together, and the two chains slammed together, twisting in a spiral to form a chain that was much thicker than before.

With the swing of the penitent's arm, the chain broke through the air, making a painful explosion of thunder, like a wild python attacking Du Mu.

Seeing this scene, Du Mu was not shocked or overjoyed, his eyes were slightly condensed, his right upper arm had swelled and bulged, and the black sword tore through the void with a snort, slashing heavily at the side of the huge chain.

Countless sparks burst open in an instant, and the chains came heavily, but they were still deflected sideways by the black sword, and instead hit the wall next to the street, which was offset by an inexplicable and mysterious soft force, and fell to the ground.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Mu dodged several times in a row, and was already approaching the confessional, and the black sword in his hand turned into a streamer and slashed at the latter's head.

Unsurprisingly, the chains wriggled and covered the penitent's skull, blocking the incoming black light.

However, the black light missed the blow, and suddenly bounced up, slashing through a very small arc, and actually slashed at the gap in the neck that leaked after the Confessor's chain moved.

Snake devour!

There was a dull sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, and as the black light passed, the penitent's body shuddered suddenly, and a large number of red light particles erupted from his neck, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
