Extra: Dark Continent: Where the Eye Goes (II)
The diary left behind by the sailors allowed Lin Nie and his party to get some clues about "that gaze".
It reminded them directly of the pitch-black forest they had walked through before they arrived, and the clean water source.
But more than this clue that may bring some value, what is more interesting is the timing of the appearance of the "diary".
What a coincidence......
So much so that Lin Nie, who likes to think crankily the most in the team, is inevitably suspicious.
Or maybe it's because I've been surrounded by "unknown eyes" during this time, so I subconsciously feel that this diary may be deliberately arranged by "some kind of existence".
We have to be wary of this possibility.
At least Lin Nie didn't dare to be careless.
Holding the diary in his hand, Lin Nie looked at Jaege, who was about the same height as himself, and then looked up at the strong and tall Nitro, waiting for the opinions and opinions of the two teammates.
However, as the seconds passed, neither Jager nor Nitro spoke, and there was a sense of wide-eyed staring.
“……”
After a short silence, Lin Nie's slender eyebrows twitched and asked, "You two...... Nothing to say? ”
“……”
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Nitro and Jaeger looked confused and dazed.
"Should I say something?"
These are Jager's words.
"Huh?"
This is Nitro's reaction.
The corners of Lin Nie's mouth twitched twice without a trace, and then fell silent.
"Alas......"
She sighed weakly, giving up on the idea of getting "opinions" from Jaeger and Nitro.
Also right......
These two guys.
One is from a family that beats enemies, and has always used only combat ability to solve all problems.
One is the main battle faction full of fighting desire and muscles, and it is also the type of soldier who comes to block the water and cover the earth.
For them, whatever darkness comes at them is just a matter of knocking them back with their fists.
If you can't retreat, then follow through to enlightenment and embrace death......
Lin Nie, who understood this, silently put away the diary, and then walked towards the established route without saying a word.
Nitro and Jeg first glanced at Lin Nie's back, and then at each other.
What's wrong with this?
Didn't you already say that you would fight whatever you wanted?
The two saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.
The team moved on.
That "gaze" that came from nowhere has always been haunted.
With the passage of time, its presence is gradually increasing.
Sometimes, you can feel the "gaze" staring at you from a distance.
Even when you look towards the source of your gaze, although you can clearly feel the presence of your gaze, there is always nothing in the sight of your gaze.
Although he didn't experience the slightest sense of crisis for the time being, it gave Lin Nie a sense of oppression of "countdown".
In the whole team, Nitro completely calmed down, thinking that he could use the "Hundred Style Guanyin" to solve the problem at the moment when "that gaze" revealed its true face.
The team slowly moved forward.
Nitro is in the front, Jag is in the back, and Lin Nie is in the middle.
It's the formation they've been taking during their exploration.
Soon after.
The team made their way to a sparse wood.
Compared with the various huge environments of the Dark Continent, the normalized forest in front of him may be more like a grass on the Dark Continent.
Without much hesitation, the team followed the established route into the woods.
At this moment, the sun is setting, and the orange-red afterglow falls in the forest.
Nitro walked ahead, his eyes steady.
As a power-up system that has reached its peak, Nitro has the aura to break through all the dangers that lie ahead.
It was this kind of momentum that exuded invisibly that gave Lin Nie and Jiege enough confidence.
They can always trust Nitro who is standing in front of them.
Rustle –
The wind blows the branches and leaves, and the sound does not stop.
When the last rays of light faded, the surrounding trees and foliage suddenly floated with bursts of green light.
This kind of change did not wait for Nitro and the others to observe carefully, and suddenly there was a wisp of killing in a flash.
Beholder
From the back of the line.
Nitro and Lin Nie didn't seem to react, while Jaeg, who was at the back of the group, was looking ahead, focusing on the glowing green plants.
And the smearing machine from the rear struck the back of Jager's head with sharp force.
Now.
Jager's attention was on the glowing plants, but his limbs seemed to react automatically, and his naturally falling arms flicked like whips towards the black shadows coming from behind.
Boom!
A dull sound burst out of the glowing green light.
The black shadow that had been striking the back of Jag's head was blocked back by the whip-like arm, and then landed firmly on the forest floor, whispering a series of obscure syllables.
At this moment, Nitro and Lin Nie turned around to look at the place where the voice came from.
What caught my eye was a half-humanoid demonic beast that was more than two meters tall.
The beast had a pair of curved black horns on its head, a pair of golden vertical pupils that shimmered with human interest, and his body was covered with thick black hair, but even so, it couldn't hide the muscles that bulged like rocks.
But the upper body is majestic, and the lower limbs are slender and curved.
"Subhumanoid Monster ......?"
Seeing the true face of the attacker, Nitro raised his eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously thought of the gatekeeper.
Lin Nie looked at Jaege's arm for the first time and asked, "Are you hurt?" ”
"Minor injuries."
Jager's expression was as usual, staring at the subhumanoid monster that suddenly attacked him with a dead silence.
Thanks to the brutal training he had experienced since childhood, he naturally developed the ability to react to any attack unconsciously after touching the telekinesis.
It was with this ability that he used to block the attack from the subhumanoid demonic beast in time just now.
But even without this ability, he can react from the fleeting killing opportunity.
This can also be done by Nitro and Lin Nie.
It's a pity that his manifestation qi is not as good as the other party, so the arm used to fight back is already red and swollen.
"Humans, that's rare, hey......"
The Blackhorn Beast looked at the three of Nitro with interest, and then fixed its gaze on Jag.
"Of the three of you, you're the strongest, right?"
Based on the results of the attack just now, the Blackhorned Demon Beast believes that Jager, the only one who responds, is the strongest of the trio.
It's just that what he said sounded to the three of Nitro was a series of obscure syllables.
Noticing the reaction of the three Nitros, the Blackhorned Demon Beast realized the problem of language barriers.
"Solve the language problem first......"
The Blackhorn Demon Beast grinned, and suddenly tore a piece of flesh with thick hair from its chest with its backhand.
This act of self-harm without warning caused a wave of surprise and confusion among the three Nitro trios.
The Blackhorn Demon Beast ignored Nitro's reaction and muttered to himself, "What I give, I will be rewarded." ”
As soon as the words fell,
A burst of red light came out of the palm of the hand holding the hair and flesh, and then the hair and flesh in the red light quietly annihilated into ashes.
The sacrifice is complete!
"You-"
Allowing the hair and flesh in his hands to be annihilated to ashes, the Blackhorned Demon Beast looked at the three of Nitro again and asked, "Is it a 'stowaway'?" ”
The words that come out are no longer obscure syllables, but lingua franca with a straight tone.
He used the power of sacrifice to solve the language problem by sacrificing part of his own flesh and blood.
"Huh?"
Nitro, Lin Nie, and Jege, who were in a state of battle, were all slightly stunned when they heard the lingua franca of the Black Horned Demon Beast.
Without the heart to find out the reason, and without answering the other party's meaning, Nitro subconsciously asked: "Then you are a 'voyeur', right?" ”
The reason why it is so rhetorical -
It's because Nitro noticed that after the appearance of this black-haired demonic beast, the haunting "gaze" suddenly disappeared.
“???”
However, the Blackhorn Demon Beast didn't understand the meaning of Nitro's rhetorical question.
"What voyeur? My name is Spudimen! ”
In the face of Nitro's rhetorical question, the Blackhorn Demon Beast's eyes widened slightly, and he proudly reported his name.
Spudimen –
It was the gatekeeper who summoned the guide for Moyu and his party many years later.
It's just that compared with the indifferent temperament that rejected people thousands of miles away many years later, there is a kind of vigorous vitality in the current Spudimen, and ......
Enthusiasm when exposed to novelties.
Nonetheless –
In the eyes of Stephamon, the three humans of Nitro, Linnie, and Jag are still food and prey that can sharpen his strength.
That's right
He's going to hunt and kill the three Nitro and eat them.
Jag, who is the most sensitive to killing intent, has insight into the intentions of the Spudic Gate at this moment.
So he took a small step forward.
And Jager's actions were seen by Stepimen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning.
The next moment.
The figure of the Spuddy Gate seemed to cross space, appearing out of thin air at Jager's side.
However, before Spudimen could make a move, Jag's eyes were dead, and his blade-like palm was already a step ahead of the Spuddymen's vital point.
Such a well-timed counterattack was like foreseeing the intention of Spudimen's attack.
Stepimon didn't expect Jag to be so fast, but his reflexes were terrifying, and he swept backwards at the last moment, avoiding Jager's sword.
"Interesting."
Stabilizing his body, Spudimen stared at Jag with shiny eyes, and said excitedly: "You are really the strongest one." ”
The basis for this judgment is still the speed of reaction.
In the confrontation just now, he still noticed that Nitro and Lin Nie did not react at all.
And yet—
Unbeknownst to Expemon, Nitro and Linnie also saw Jagg take a small step forward.
And in the eyes of Nitro and Lin Nie, Jaeger's action is equivalent to saying: I'll come.
So Nitro and Lin Nie didn't intervene.
Listening to Expedy's assertion of excitement, a question mark popped up in Jager's head.
"The strongest one?"
"......Shh
"How could I be the strongest one."
"The real strongest is the one behind me."
"That Isaac Nitro I adore!"
"If you don't even have that eyesight, then I can probably win."
Jag slowly made an offensive gesture, muttering to himself.
