Chapter 96: Nightmare (3)

"My current physical fitness is only at the level of ordinary people, and it is extremely depleting to forcibly urge my lungs. Although the monster was killed with a roar just now, it also suffered internal injuries, and if it worsens, there is a risk of death...... It is essential to get treatment as soon as possible. Ivan forced himself to his feet, struggling to breathe, and walked forward along the road.

The most important task at the moment is to find teammates, and in this situation where you don't know when a ghost will appear, being alone is basically a dead end. The second is to figure out the topography of the place, not to sort out the map, at least to find a slightly safer place to hide.

One by one, one by one

He endured the burning pain in his chest and lungs, and walked in the direction of the road, advancing a distance of seventy or eighty meters. Suddenly, he stopped thoughtfully and looked back at the place where he had just been attacked:

"How did that monster find me? Did Shylock give it coordinates beforehand? Or did he see me from afar? Or maybe my scent, or something else revealed himself......"

After thinking carefully for a while, Ivan felt that the above three points were possible, so he quickly hid in the shade of a tree on the side of the road and gradually adjusted his state.

For so long, he has been practicing penetration for so long, and through the communication and deduction with Karenz, he has long been proficient in the study of the use method.

In addition to strengthening the physical fitness and the ability to perceive potential crises, the penetration energy also has the wonderful effect of locking the pores and concealing one's own breath.

The so-called breath is the heat that the human body unconsciously radiates. After using the penetration force to lock the pores, the heat of the self-unconsciously radiating will be reduced, and the effect of concealing the body can be achieved to a certain extent.

"Hoo ......"

Ivan hid in the shade of a tree and struggled to adjust his breathing, when suddenly his eyes narrowed, and hot air exhaled from his lungs through his mouth and nose. It was as if he had spit out a large mouthful of high-pressure and high-temperature water vapor, and the place where it passed was inexplicably hot.

After this hot breath was exhaled, his already fair and compact skin instantly became more delicate, and all the pores on his body shrank to the extent that they were invisible to the naked eye. The body temperature also dropped suddenly, the breath tended to be slender and weak, and the breath, spirit, and even vitality of the whole person were condensed to the extreme at once, as if it was a round lump of mercury without half leaking out.

"My physical strength has also decreased a lot due to the slowing down of my breathing rate, but the pain in my heart has been relieved...... That's a bonus. Now that the heat problem has been solved, the next step is to solve the smell ......"

Thinking of this, Ivan squatted down directly, cut the turf of the ground under the tree with his hands, and then dug out the soil from the rhizome and smeared it on his body. It wasn't until he smeared himself into a black clay figure that he began to hide in the shade of a tree and move on.

One-one-one-one

The night grew darker, the moon disappeared into the clouds, and the darkness seemed like an infinite abyss, swallowing everything on the ground.

“......”

Ivan walked in the shade of the trees nervously, his figure perfectly blended into the darkness, and walked along the gloomy and empty road.

The spacing between the villas on both sides has gradually become tighter, but it is still the same specification and structure, the same old and dilapidated. The repetition of the monotonous scene is disturbing, and occasionally a few faint bits of phosphorus fire burst into the air. With a gentle breeze drifting slowly across the sky, it seems as if there are rotting corpses buried everywhere.

From the moment he was covered in mud, Ivan had been walking under the shade of the road for nearly two hours. The sight in his eyes remained largely unchanged, and he did not see a second figure other than him.

During this period, he also changed directions several times, but no matter which way he went, the scenery in front of him would change to this road. And the scenery next to the road is always the same, although it is sparse and dense, but it is still those lifeless abandoned villas.

Due to his internal injuries at this time, coupled with the state of physical decay, he was already a little unbearable after walking so far. He sat down against the trunk of the tree beside him, slowly regulating his breathing and recovering his strength.

Perhaps it was Ivan's method of concealing his breath that had an effect, and he hadn't been attacked by the goblins again for two hours, barely a blessing in disguise.

"It's not the way to go...... I'll have to find a way to reach someone else. ”

After resting for a few minutes, he felt that his mental strength had recovered somewhat, and suddenly he raised his index finger and hit the trunk of the tree. With the penetrating force, his fingers cut through the rough bark like a steel knife, leaving his name in a smooth manner.

"Hope it helps. ”

Ivan smiled self-deprecatingly, leaning over and scooping up a large handful of mud from the grass, intending to make some marks on the pavement with the materials.

One by one, one by one

He picked up the mud stuck to the turf and walked to the middle of the road, just about to put it into action.

The white lighthouse, located at the top of a mountain peak in the distance, suddenly emitted a strong white light. It was an unusually ominous spiral of light, twisting and slanting across the sky, rendering the night sky into a wrinkled, rag.

Dangerous!

He almost subconsciously fell to the ground, and his figure suddenly scurried into the shade of the tree like a rabbit, avoiding the direct rays of light.

The yellowish glow of light in the night sky brightened the pavement and shone on the trees beside Ivan and dyed all the branches and leaves in the crown a strange orange red.

“......”

Ivan hid behind the trunk of the tree and looked in the direction of the lighthouse, above the dark night sky, the twisted pillar of light was like a towel handle that gradually tightened, and the whole night was rotated.

In the process, a single scene directly in front of the road suddenly changed, and it also rotated, and another scene soon floated out from the center of the whirlpool. It's like a flickering TV screen, the lines are blurry and you can't see it really, but one thing is for sure - it's very different from what Ivan has been exposed to for two hours.

"Anyway, I can't go out like this, let's fight!"

Evan dug up a handful of mud and kneaded it into a mud ball, aimed it at the whirlpool in front of the road, and threw it with all his might.

Whoosh——!

The mud hit the center of the vortex along a parabola, unhindered or attacked by goblins, and passed through it unharmed.

“......”

Evan took a deep breath and suddenly twisted his hips, his calves ejecting like razors, and with a thud, he kicked off the tree trunk beside him.

After cutting off the waist of the tree more than four meters high, he immediately flicked his arm to clean the branches and leaves on it, and quickly cultivated the entire tree into a log. Then he clasped his hands together and hugged the trunk of the tree sideways, as if holding a siege log, and his toes grasped the ground and his body rushed quickly towards the whirlpool.
