258 Undead Monsters
Just as Chrissy and Yukikaze were communicating and deciding on the next plan of action, deep in the eastern forest outside Kawagoe City on the other side, next to the large group of monsters composed of "sin" monsters, a petite figure wearing a simple camouflage camouflage net hid in the shadows of the intersection of trees and bushes, lying there silently and motionless.
And if you look at it from a good angle, you'll find a stone mask with no eyes looking at you, in addition to the faint traces that can't be seen.
That's right, it was the day before that I was asked by Kiriko to leave Kawagoe City and come to find the missing two high-level adventurer squads and this series of events really ~ Baihui!
Patricks is still lying here and not retreating, not because he wants to do something or reconfirm some key information. It's because now she has no way to retreat.
Although the enemy in front of you is not impossible to fight, it is only against one pair of ten at most, and if you really face ten enemies, it is definitely yourself who should run away. However, at this time, the total number of enemies in front of him has far exceeded the double-digit range!
This is already a number that even if you choose to escape, it is a luxury!
Seeing that the other party seems to be completely indifferent to his existence, just passing by, it seems that it is easy to retreat. But if you really think so, and you do, then you can prepare an extra coffin.
Because, these monsters have very keen senses! Especially for living beings!
No creatures can escape the search, and all beasts and monsters, including lurking enemies, are swept away along the way!
At least Baihui has not found out until now that he can escape under the other party's hands.
Of course, after being discovered by these monsters, they probably won't tear you to pieces, because Baihui has also not found any obvious scars on the corpse they created so far.
It's just that, no matter what, your fate is definitely not much better.
Therefore, now Baihui can only hide here, quietly waiting for the other party to leave, and pray that he will not find himself hiding on the side until all the monsters in this group leave. But most importantly, they can leave the area before they run out of stamina!
This is also the reason why Baihui was able to hide here without being discovered by the other party: Baihui at this time was in a spirit state.
Maybe it's because I'm in a spirit state.,So the other party thinks it's not the living.,It's the dead.,That's why I didn't find myself hiding on the side.。 But this is not a reason for Baihui to act casually, because not long ago, Baihui saw a spirit monster wandering around nearby, and was swarmed by these monsters without the slightest hesitation, completely turning it into a wisp of green smoke.
Turning into a spirit state similar to the posture of the deceased can avoid being detected by these monsters, but these monsters definitely don't mind killing all the non-native monsters in front of them.
In the end, Baihui can only hide here, praying that the other party will leave the area before his physical strength is exhausted. After all, the consumption of the spirit state, even Baihui, who can also be upgraded in this post-apocalyptic world, really can't last long.
As for why Baihui is trapped here, we have to start from the beginning.
"Yesterday, the casualty figure of the adventurer in the eastern forest has risen again, and it can be confirmed that the monsters in the eastern forest, even if there is no obvious increase in strength, will bring greater danger to their irascible nature. Now there are not many days left until the end of the month, we must find out the true ~ phase before that and make all preparations for it, otherwise it will ......"
"Those two teams of high-level adventurers? In terms of safety and timeliness, in the previous arrangements for them, they would only go deep into the places they could reach in one day. Unfortunately, no one has ever found them or received any information from them until now. ”
"So, that's exactly why I'm looking for you, Baihui. I hope you can go to the eastern forest, find them and find out the true ~ phase of the incident. ”
A day ago, with Kiriko's plea, Momoe left Kawagoe City and entered the forest.
Before the great changes in heaven and earth, as a peripheral member of the Overwatch Dragon, Baihui completed hundreds of commissions in a few years, even with Naoba as a rear support, but he himself has accumulated countless profound experience. And, for some reason, perhaps because he is getting farther and farther away from the path of mankind, almost all the commissions he has received are killing and hunting.
With the experience learned and accumulated from several jungle killings in order to eliminate drug dealers, it was quite easy for Baihui to track down the traces left by the two high-level adventurer teams who had been missing for a few days in this primeval forest.
After all, although the other party has gained a lot of efficient movement and body hiding methods in the dense forest because of fighting monsters in the dense forest, the technique is still quite rough. Even Baihui can easily follow them, let alone the monsters that already live in the forest.
Therefore, Baihui followed the traces of the battle almost all the way.
On the other hand, Baihui, who has a ghost body, although he still exposes some traces from time to time when he moves through the dense forest, it is enough to hide and avoid most monsters. Therefore, Baihui's speed of action is definitely much higher than those two squads.
After walking for a while, Baihui came to a place of battle. Through the extent of the destruction of the environment, Baihui easily came to the conclusion that there had been a fierce battle here, and then the next conclusion was that one of the sides of the battle was in an absolutely disadvantageous state, so he left his companions and fled deep into the forest.
As for why there are no bodies in this area...... In the primeval forest, do you think there will be fresh corpses that will be kept until the next morning?
According to the restoration and deduction of the combat environment, Baihui, who is not good at this and is only preliminarily inferred by virtue of his killing experience, has obtained a fairly specific battle process:
As a relatively high-level adventurer team, and it is also two teams working together to advance, although the deeper you go into the interior of the forest, the more powerful the monsters you encounter, but it is still within the tolerance of the two teams.
Just as they were about to rest for a while in this somewhat secluded place, bad luck struck. Enemies, at least the ones that the two squads combined couldn't fight, entered the hidden resting place through the same entrance they had used before.
I don't know who the enemy is, at least Baihui doesn't know, the only thing that can be known is that this enemy is probably the overlord of this forest area, and the other party is extremely good at strength, which can be confirmed from the broken tree. And although the opponent's sensitivity is not low, speed is still a weakness, otherwise these high-level adventurers would not choose to escape from another exit, that is, an exit to the depths of the forest, not long after the battle.
And the monster with low-level intelligence obviously did not rush into the depths of the interior at will, but guarded the entrance, so that the members of the high-level adventurer team could not escape from the original entrance at all.
I don't know what monsters you remember, but the first image that came to Baihui's mind after seeing the specific image of the battle scene was a giant bear.
Perhaps before the great changes in the world, the speed of bears was indeed fast for humans. But in this world that can be upgraded, compared to strength, the speed of bear-like monsters is generally not comparable to that of humans of the same level.
As for what the monsters that attacked these two squads, Baihui can only say sorry for this.
However, it also answers a question from Pak Hui and others as to why they have not been in contact with themselves until now. It was clear that they had been forced to flee into the depths of the forest, and at this time they were already trapped in the depths of the forest. Or, perhaps, by this time......
But in any case, for Baihui at this time, even if they can't be found, they must find the true ~ phase of the event, so Baihui must continue to venture into the depths of the forest.
What's more, when the adventurer team escapes, they naturally won't hide their tracks. And the monster that suddenly appeared didn't seem to want the prey in their hands to escape easily, and directly chased after them.
Therefore, Baihui easily followed this series of battle traces and headed towards the depths of the forest.
It seems that the monster that attacked the adventurer's team is indeed the boss of this area, and Baihui did not notice that there were other monsters involved between the two chasing and fleeing. As a result, both of them move extremely fast, and almost in a short period of time, they are close to the heart of the forest.
Although it is said to be a primeval forest, in fact, the area of this forest surrounding Kawagoe City is not large, and Yukikaze and the others set off from Kawagoe City, and it only takes a little more than half a day to cross the forest at the fastest speed. Speaking of primeval forest, it is more about the density of this forest and the difficulty of the monsters.
Therefore, the two biggest problems that others face when traveling through this forest are terrain adaptability and the endless number of monsters. As a result, the time it takes to traverse this small area of forest is constantly climbing.
This is one of the reasons why it takes two days for the monster of "Sin" to reach Kawagoe City. They are directly sweeping and clearing all the enemies in their path, and no matter how short the battle time is, they can't travel much faster.
It's been a lot of time since the unknown monster and the adventurer team chased and escaped, so while following the traces of the battle, Baihui is constantly being attacked by monsters.
But after walking a short distance, Baihui suddenly came to a quiet place.
No monsters rushed out to raid for at least five minutes, and within three minutes, Baihui only saw the corpses of monsters!
This unnatural scene naturally aroused Baihui's high vigilance. The monster that suddenly appeared and attacked it also proved that Baihui's vigilance was correct.
That's right, the monster that attacked Baihui is the same kind of "sin" monster as the monster in front of Baihui now!
Of course, at that time, Baihui didn't know the specific information of these monsters, but just regarded them as special monsters in the depths of the forest. Although Baihui doesn't know it now, as for why he knows that these monsters are the main reason for this incident, it is because of the hardships that Baihui felt during the battle.
Although I feel strange myself, Baihui's little knife has quite a strong lethality against these monsters, but even so, it does not reduce the difficulty of fighting in the slightest. The reason for this is precisely that in the battle with these monsters, Baihui must always suppress his negative emotions.
Anxiety, nervousness, sadness, anger, pain, hatred, despair......
Kill everything, destroy everything, destroy everything, bury everything......
These negative emotions infected by monsters continue to rise from their hearts, not so much that the other party is a collection of these negative emotions, but that no matter when and where, the monsters in front of them are cursing this world!
If it's these monsters, it will indeed cause the crazy emotions of all the monsters in the vicinity, after all, compared to humans, monsters have more intuition and feelings, and they don't know how to suppress the various negative emotions that arise in their hearts.
In the end, after thoroughly understanding the monster's attack methods, Baihui successfully used the lethality of the small knife in his hand to give the opponent a fatal blow and successfully killed the monster. But at the same time, Baihui also suffered a lot of damage, and these monsters can hurt spirits even if they are ordinary attacks!
However, the battle between the adventurer squad and the unknown monster does not end here, but continues to spread towards the depths of the forest. The monster that attacked it had obviously been here recently. And the traces of the battle between the first two are very "new", probably just a few hours ago, so Baihui decided to continue tracking.
However, just as Momoe continues to follow the traces of the battle, and at the same time makes contact with Kiriko and begins to report on the current situation, a new enemy discovers Momoe, forcing Momoe to cut off communication with Kiriko.
And this time, the enemies who attacked Baihui were not just one, but three!
After a difficult struggle with the monsters of the "Three Sins", and with the help of the abnormal lethality of the small knife in his hand, after solving these three monsters, Baihui, who had advanced a long distance again, successfully saw the high-level adventurer team he was looking for...... of corpses.
But there was no time for Baihui to collect the corpses of the other party, because the next moment, hundreds of monsters were about to appear in front of Baihui's eyes. In the previous battle, Baihui saw that the spirit monsters did not attract the attention of the three monsters at the first time, so as if taking a gamble, he subconsciously turned into a spirit state and hid with the help of a camouflage net.
Although he managed to evade the search of these monsters in the end, he put himself in a position where he could not advance or retreat, until now. Maybe if you choose to evacuate immediately at first, you have a chance to escape. But in this situation, either hide until all the monsters leave here, or choose to die here where no one knows, there is no third option.
Recalling the previous experience, Baihui could only smile silently twice, and then had to continue to remain silent, confirming the specific situation of his surroundings through the stone mask he wore on his head.
Maybe it's some kind of evolution, but it's more likely an adaptation, and after getting used to the existence of her other soul seat, the stone mask, Baihui finds herself seeing a whole new world through this mask.
The specific situation feels like a mental scan, but in terms of vision, it is more similar to actually looking with your eyes, and the perception of the situation behind the mask is very vague.
With the passage of time, Baihui's physical strength continued to decline, and it was almost at a critical point. Although after the physical strength drops to a critical point, you can still maintain the ghost body for a while, but don't think about any combat power.
However, even if the monster in front of him has passed by Baihui's side, the distance between the two is definitely not within a safe range.
The most important thing is that even if the last trace of physical strength is exhausted, the ghost body cannot be maintained, and the distance between the two is not out of the danger range!
Continuing to hide? Or do you choose to fight?
Just as Momoe was about to be forced to make a final decision, a T.P.H.E. platform located 30,000 meters above Kawagoe City tilted its body according to a preset program, and finally aimed the bottom end of a small opening at the place where Momoe was.
[Launch program start confirmed! ] Goal confirmed! Coordinate locked! The passage is open! Passage emptying complete! Beacon Reload Complete! Launcher check AllGreen again! Locate beacons and launch! 】
Maybe you can get a chance of staying in hiding, but what are the odds?
It's already negligible, right? So, what about the odds of choosing to fight, and then surviving?
Also negligible!
So, isn't it already clear how to choose?
Is this where you have fallen?
Undead monsters? It's an ironic joke. Is there really an immortal "monster" in the world?
Baihui stood up with a smile, and while the monster was surprised, he calmly turned on the communicator, adjusted to the recording mode, and began to tell all the information he had obtained while preparing for battle.
Just let yourself be Naoba and do the last thing. No matter what happens, this information must be passed on!
…… Maybe I'm not human anymore.
Countless killings, as well as countless killings, make me seem to have no real sense of life, even if I am facing death now, there is no trace of heart palpitations?
But,I really want to look at the sky with Naoba.,That's nothing.,It's all pure sky.。
"An undead monster with no sense of life? Isn't there still a desire to live, and there are many people who are worried about you right now. ”
Just as Baihui was ready to make the final preparations, just as the monster was about to kill the last enemy that was almost missed, a sweet voice like a princess suddenly sounded in the woods.
"Since it's an undead monster, then don't be in this kind of place, just die so easily!"
