Chapter 144: The Shadow Demon Reappears
Walking out of the city gate, Zhou Yu quickly became invisible and opened [blindly] to inspect the surroundings.
He went out of the city alone, this time he didn't go out of the city to avoid pursuit, nor did he go to the high-rise Moon City to gather, just to go out to find the shadow demon, he wanted to go to the sky, he wanted to know what was above the clouds, if the gravity of Moon City was the repulsion of the clouds, then through the clouds, where would he be pushed? What does the top of the moon pillar look like?
The shadow demon is not easy to find, the nightmare of the legendary second-layer October City, the last time it appeared on the sixteenth floor, it should have been to see the excitement, and the upper level of the Moon City rarely appeared in battles of that scale, that shadow demon should be more curious and have more ideas in the nightmare, otherwise he would not have played with Zhou Yu and took him to climb the moon pillar.
It's just that there is no battle today, I don't know if it will come to the sixteenth floor, Zhou Yu returned to the real world yesterday after walking, and he couldn't say goodbye to it or make an agreement, so he could only go to the twentieth floor.
Dare to come, Zhou Yu relies on his low strength, and he will not attract those powerful nightmares, but is safer than the low-level Moon City, but when he encounters a nightmare that wants to taste his taste, he is basically dead, even if he uses teleportation, he may not be able to escape.
There were more nightmares on the sixteenth floor than there had been when they had last arrived, but they were still far away from each other, as if they had their own territory.
There is [blindness], there is [blank], Zhou Yu retracted his breath, and cautiously moved towards the moon pillar, theoretically if the shadow demon was here, he could find it.
Unfortunately, when he came to the moon pillar, his search was interrupted, and a never-before-seen nightmare stared at him.
It is a nightmare very similar to the face-hugging insect in "Alien", the difference is that the body of the face-hugging insect is like a spider, and the body of this nightmare is like a king with a foot insect, and the king with a foot insect is very similar to the common rat woman (tide insect), but the body is much larger, and lives in the sea, the body of an adult king with a foot can grow to thirty or forty centimeters long, while this nightmare is more than two long, more than one meter wide, and it is also one meter high when lying on the ground.
Its whole body is covered by an exoskeleton, dark yellow, with a tail as long as its body on the back, composed of segments of bones, a bit like a human vertebrae, only the last section is black, and it is not seen to have any effect, the feet are long and pointed, and the toes are also barbed, which clicks when walking, and the feet have many pairs of voices that are dense when crawling quickly, and are connected together.
The crawling speed of this nightmare is not fast, it is about the same as an adult trot, the body's ability to resist attacks should be quite high, but the attack power is obviously insufficient, it is difficult to imagine that it is a nightmare of the sixteenth-story Moon City, it can appear here, this nightmare must have some special ability.
Zhou Yu didn't want to experience the special ability of the transcendent nightmare, as soon as he heard the sound of it crawling, he turned his head to take a look, and immediately teleported several times, wanting to get rid of the nightmare.
Shadow Fiend's third eye allows it to see through and move behind the target in a very short amount of time, regardless of distance, the long-tailed king has only two small round eyes like an eight-ball that should be able to see through, but it can't teleport.
But after Zhou Yu moved a few times, the footsteps of the nightmare not only did not disappear, but became clearer and clearer, looking back, he was so frightened that he shivered, the nightmare had come behind him, with its tail upright, the front half of its body up, opened its long pointed feet, and hugged Zhou Yu fiercely.
Zhou Yu exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly rushed forward.
Teleporting had to look at the road, and it might be too late for him to turn around, and it would be better to pounce forward, but even so, he was a little slower, and the tips of the nightmare cut through the skin on his back, plowing a few deep cuts.
What's going on? The nightmare's footsteps were not interrupted, nor did they come behind him suddenly, but from far to near, obviously not using teleportation, the problem was that Zhou Yu was teleporting, even if the speed of the nightmare could catch up with him, the footsteps should sound to him flickering and coming, rather than gradually becoming clearer.
What's more, it doesn't run fast.
The first time he encountered this kind of situation, Zhou Yu didn't care about the pain in his back, no longer teleported, and ran forward desperately, looking back as he ran.
Nightmare's speed is still very slow, and he really ran with all his strength, even if the zero force is not high, it should not be a problem to break the world 100-meter record at this time, but the distance between the two is rapidly shortening, and when the distance is enough, Nightmare raises his front half of his body and hugs him.
"I don't have to run at all." Zhou Yu jumped forward again, swung his arms forward at the same time, and met Nightmare's feet with the blade, and his right hand grew out a little, and he was already able to summon the arm armor of both arms, and the arm armor blade of the right arm would pop out along with the left arm.
It seems that this nightmare's ability is to shorten the distance between it and the target, it doesn't need to run fast, as long as the target is slower than itself, it's hard to tell what type of ability this is, it may affect space, it may affect time, or it may simply affect distance, in short, he can't escape.
While!
The impact of the blade and the insect foot made a metal collision sound, indicating that its bone density is very high, and it is not much different from metal, the blade is a dream rune, and it will never be damaged, but there is a very small gap on the insect foot, which is almost invisible to the naked eye, even if the blade can be cut in the same position every time, it will take a long time to cut off the foot, and breaking one or two feet is really "insignificant" for this kind of nightmare.
Zhou Yu was knocked and slid backwards, the power of the nightmare is not counted as him, he doesn't even need to use his mind to freeze, but so what? This is obviously a tank, not afraid of fighting, grinding can grind him to death.
He looked at its tail, the last part of the tail was the color of the rest of its body, which was probably the reason why it was able to chase the fish, and he should be able to escape if he broke the tip of the tail.
But its tail is erect, Zhou Yu can't reach it, there is a sense of helplessness to jump up to hit the knee, and if you jump up to fight, even if you can cut off the tail, Zhou Yu may be held by it when it falls, as long as the toes pierce into the body, the barb can hook the body, and you can't break free.
He teleported behind the Nightmare and swung his arm at its tail, which was hit, but the tail was so hard that it couldn't even cut a hole.
The nightmare is like a tank, but it turns much faster than a tank, and its little feet are upside down quite quickly.
It was also one meter tall on its stomach, and the two feet in the front were raised just enough to reach the vital parts of Zhou Yu, and with a fierce swing, it almost hit the root of the hook.
Zhou Yu was startled, hurriedly went around behind it again, and desperately cut off its tail, the tail was cut off and swayed, there was no, Zhou Yu almost took another crotch.
"You guy is too vicious, can you stop beating like that." He fits the Nightmare's attack speed, and he feels a little relieved, but he still can't run away or kill.
Watching the nightmare follow him and keep turning, Zhou Yu had a whim, jumped on its back, grabbed its tail, and slashed it a few times, but because there was no collision power, he didn't even cut out the gap.
Nightmare didn't panic at all, his tail pressed down violently, broke free of Zhou Yu's hand, hit the ground with a "snap", and then pulled it back violently.
Zhou Yu had already jumped away, and the nightmare's tail hit its own back, and then it spun and flicked in circles.
There are small holes on the tip of the black tail, and when it is shaken, it makes a whining sound like a woman's cry, which is very scary, and Zhou Yu knew that it was not good when he heard it, so he hurriedly turned on the [blind] and looked around.
Sure enough, there were lines moving at the end of the line of sight, and three identical nightmares crawled over from a distance, not fast, but the distance between them and Zhou Yu quickly narrowed, and soon came to a close place, surrounded Zhou Yu in the middle, and immediately attacked.
Two with tails, one hugging death, the first one to come out to play with the crotch, Zhou Yu immediately used teleportation to dodge, obviously moved ten meters away, and the nightmare's tail was only two meters, but one tail still swept on his calf.
Zhou Yu was swept to the ground and immediately rolled forward, and at the same time used the [Back Walk] that he had practiced earlier, just as his body turned into a state of nothingness, his tail struck down, passing through his body and hitting the ground.
This time it was dangerous and dangerous, Zhou Yu was scared out of a cold sweat, this nightmare obviously has a grudge against the length unit, whether it is the distance between it and the length, or its own body and tail length, it is impossible to estimate.
Before he could get up, a second nightmare had already come to him, and another tail had struck down, followed by a third.
Zhou Yu rolled forward again, and [Back] must be on his back to the ground to open the state of nothingness, lasting for one second, and each time he hits the ground on his back, he will turn on invincibility once.
He dodged the third tail blow by rolling in succession, but instead of hitting him with his tail, the fourth Nightmare calculated the amount of advance, raised his front half, and opened his arms.
Zhou Yu was still in a state of nothingness, but as soon as the state disappeared, he was about to be hugged.
At this moment, a dark shadow descended from the sky and slammed into the nightmare's body, and the nightmare was smashed to its stomach, and the front half of its body fell back to the ground.
"Hah! You're here, I didn't find you, but you did. Zhou Yu moved behind the smashed nightmare, looked up at the black shadow on its back and said, smiling.
The Shadow Demon held Nightmare's tail in his right hand and looked down at Zhou Yu expressionlessly, his gaze a little unkind.
Its right hand gradually tightened, and its tail, which was much thicker than its arm, made a "click" sound, and tiny cracks began to appear on the joints, more and more, denser, and finally crumbled.
Countless bone chips fell, and a large amount of black smoke was spewed out from the broken tail, the shadow demon was still clenching his fist, and some black smoke slowly came out from between his fingers, it still looked down at Zhou Yu, and slowly lowered its right hand.
The other three Nightmares saw the Shadow Fiend appear, visibly frightened, retracted their tails, retreated from different directions, retreated behind the building, and immediately turned and fled.
Only then did the Shadow Demon take his eyes off Zhou Yu's face, turn his head to look at a running nightmare, and disappear in front of Zhou Yu.
