Chapter 432: Nightmare Bears and Flames

Under normal circumstances, people will always need to rest quietly when they are overeating, and too strenuous movements can easily make them vomit all the contents of their stomachs.

But the "eating support" at the level of magic is completely different.

In this case, relying on one's own abilities to slowly dissolve is inefficient and dangerous, so casters often choose to use vigorous "venting" to achieve excessive mana consumption.

That's what Hug is doing now.

In the face of the many abyssal creations that charged at him out of anger, Xiuge not only did not retreat, but took the initiative to attack them, and tentacles condensed from the deep mist continued to appear beside Xiuge.

The magic that makes up these tentacles is special.

They are in fact the "waste" and "dregs" that Xiuge has removed from the cold magic that he has just absorbed from himself.

This type of magic is more disordered and violent than normal magic, and they themselves are the residue left behind by the surging will of despair, so they are rightfully the vehicle for those disordered and chaotic emotions.

In the current environment, spending time and energy to purify and transform this part of the magic is definitely not a wise choice.

So Shuge chose a more efficient method - he decided to drain the power on the spot.

Backed by the sheer magic of the Abyss, Callon's Touch takes on a radically different form than the Running Rat.

These tentacles have become thicker and stronger, and their destructive and lethal power has become more astonishing.

The special magic makes them extremely unstable, and after each attack, a considerable part of the tentacles will quickly collapse or dissolve, but under the control and manipulation of Xiuge, these black shadows with amazing destructive power can always appear from the "void" next to Xiuge.

Soon the predators of the abyss who dared to attack Shug paid a terrible price for their arrogance.

The battlefield that had been empty from the violent absorption of Xiuge was now filled with a drifting fog once more, and it was the residue of those Abyss Creations that had been slain by Xiuge.

"Hoo ......"

With a wave of his hand, the restless shadow tentacles beside him subsided, and now, there were no more "challengers" left in front of him, and the remaining creatures of the abyss were either fleeing or hiding far away at the edge of the area, carefully "nibbling" some of the debris.

And after this venting, Xiuge finally got rid of the influence of those negative emotions completely, and before he could make his next move, Theseus's voice had already sounded again.

"It's time for you to retreat, there was a lot of movement just now, and some big guys are already starting to approach here......"

Before Theseus could finish speaking, a large shadow slowly turned out from behind a large rock directly in front of Theseus.

It's a nightmare bear.

A very common and terrifying danger in the Abyssal Wasteland.

If the giant "flounder" that Xiuge encountered before was the overlord of the wasteland sky, then the Nightmare Bear, a fierce wasteland beast that can always blend in with the environment and is extremely aggressive, can be called the king of the ground.

During this journey, Shuge had seen it several times.

From the initial wasteland storm to the several dangers encountered during the journey, the bears will always appear from time to time.

Just as court hounds are not real dogs, so-called nightmares are certainly not bears in the true sense of the word.

It has a massive, mountain-like body, and when it moves, it stands upright like a giant, and at the top of its body is an immensely large head - this head has no substance, its outline is blurred most of the time, and it looks like a large, orb formed by the fog.

In the center of this misty sphere, there is an exaggerated pupil of "inlay", which can freely float and rotate inside the mist to observe different directions.

One of the similarities between the Nightmare Bears and the Vann bears is their dormant habits.

According to Theseus, these stupid and dangerous creatures tend to go dormant as soon as they notice the traces of a storm in the wasteland, and once the storm has passed, they will quickly wake up and start their most violent hunting cycle.

Unfortunately, the nightmare bear that Xiuge encountered now is in this state.

The hill-like figure spun out from behind the boulder, and then the eyeball in the center of the misty skull began to spin at a rapid speed, sweeping past the creatures fleeing the area, as well as the "scavengers" who had left on the edge of the area for a few leftovers, but it was clear that these creatures could not satisfy its thirst for mana, and naturally did not meet its hunting requirements.

The rolling eyeballs slowly stopped, and the chaotic pupils made of writhing shadows became concrete.

Shug stood still, quietly meeting the giant, strange eyeball, and now he could feel the magic trembling around himβ€”it was clear that something was brewing in front of this behemoth.

Shuge was not panicked or frightened by the approaching threat.

In fact, based on several encounters along the way before, Xiuge had confirmed that although the abyssal creature of the Nightmare Bear seemed extremely dangerous, it was still within the scope of its own strength.

If he wants to, he can even defeat the opponent in front of him in a head-on confrontation, but the problem is that any fight and battle that takes place in this abyssal wasteland can be an excellent bait.

If Shuge didn't want to make the trouble here even bigger, then the best thing he should do right now was to do as much damage as possible to this big guy and evacuate quickly.

In this way, the badly injured Nightmare Bear will become a new target for the Wasteland Creators, and Xiuge himself will also be able to get a relatively stable and relaxed retreat environment.

The fierce creatures of the Abyss are ignorant of Shug's intentions, and as a hungry and greedy predator, Nightmare Bear now has only one goal, and that is to capture its prey at all costs.

This is the key to maintaining its dominance in the wasteland!

Then, the massive body shook, and a strange pitch-black figure stood upright, and countless strange limbs of various sizes and vague outlines grew from its body, and they continued to writhe with the bear's forward steps.

Not only that, but in the monster's abdomen, a crack quickly opened, and out of it was a body like some giant insect.

It also has limbs on top of it, which can touch the ground directly, and these limbs swing like normal legs and feet, helping the bloated body behind it to move forward, and even more disgusting are the huge mouthparts that grow on the head of the "insect".

This seems to be the true nature of the bear, the core of what it feeds on.

In the roar of one after another, the huge twisted monster crushed in the direction of Xiuge, and the two ordinary beasts that had not been able to dodge in time because of the shock were unlucky, and those limbs did not let go of these snacks that were brought to their mouths, and directly rolled them up, and in this way they were stuffed into the huge hideous mouthparts, and they were shattered into pieces in three or two clicks.

Seeing this in his eyes, Xiug raised his hand without saying a word, and a large number of Calon touches erupted, they twisted into each other, and once again turned into a deadly giant spear, stabbing fiercely into the abdomen of the target.

At the same time, strange and intricate magical patterns spread out in all directions centered on Shuge, a special magic recorded in the "Poem of the Night" by the mad poet Azifu.

The magic of the cold and disorder is transformed by these lines, and they are temporarily given a stable character, and take on an unusually bright brilliance in the thick darkness of the wasteland.

The mad poet called this magic the "Wanderer's Bonfire", and according to him, it was a spell created by a people who had wandered in the wasteland in the past to deter and fight against the most ferocious predators.

The massive spear formed by Calon's Touch was crushed by the bear's swinging limbs with a loud thud, but then a strange and bright light appeared in front of it.

The strange warmth of the fire seemed to be the only bright color in this cold, oppressive world, and it spread rapidly along the lines that Xiuge had constructed, eventually forming a huge circle.

The marching Nightmare Bear stopped in its tracks, tentatively reaching out one of its limbs towards the ring of fire in front of it, and at the moment of touch, a miserable howl resounded through the wasteland.

Shug saw the bright flames spread towards the bear's body at a rapid speed, as if its body was the perfect fuel for the warm flames.

For a pure creature of the abyss, the burning of the body and the exertion of power would undoubtedly bring extremely exaggerated suffering.

Before the flames could spread along its limbs to its own body, the Nightmare Bear directly severed its ignited limbs from the root in an extremely rough manner, and then it took two steps back sharply, and the insect mouthparts on its abdomen opened widely, and a thick fog that looked extremely filthy surged out from the inside of the mouthparts, and slammed into the bright ring of fire fiercely.

The fog was actually made up of countless tiny flying insects, their numbers so exaggerated that they directly coalesced into a thick fog, and when the swarm came into contact with the firelight, it let out a series of mournful cries and roars.

"That's the key to the bears' long hibernation...... Most of the souls and wills that have been devoured by them in the past will be stored in their bodies, which is their spare ration and weapons. ”

Theseus explained, "If I'm not mistaken, most of the screams you hear now come from a long, long time ago, and they must have been victims of the previous rounds of hunting. ”

Xiuge looked at the bright flames created by himself in front of him, and his face became a little complicated: "I didn't expect that those people who wander in the abyss would also crave temperature and light......

"What's so strange about that?"

Theseus laughed, "People who are in the light are often unconscious, and when they really face the shadows of the abyss, they naturally begin to thirst for fire. ”

"That sounds familiar."

"Hey, the Abyss is more educational, right?"

Hug smiled silently, he had always felt that Theseus had something to say, but it was clearly not appropriate to continue talking about the subject now.

Listening to the terrible howls from the distant past coming from ahead, Shug pulled the "Hound Tooth" out of the void with a flick of his right hand.

With the infusion of a large amount of pure abyssal magic, the smooth surface of this weapon immediately revealed lines like claws and fangs, which were also abnormalities that had never been seen before.

Obviously, this pure abyssal magic has also brought exaggerated benefits to the Hound Fang.

"Don't sleep, it's time to work."

Hugg whispered a command to the inside of the disc, and after receiving a low roar from the court hound, he decisively pulled the trigger of the "Hound Fang" straight ahead.

The hound's furious roar was drowned out by the surging magical flames, but in the next moment, the bullet with annihilating power tore a huge gap in the ring of fire, and then an invisible and ferocious bite was applied to the bear's body.

The first of three rounds successfully hit the body of the insect poking out of the bear's abdomen, shattering the mouthparts that were spraying the fog on the spot.

The second bullet was supposed to pierce the bear's abdomen, but was blocked by its multiple limbs.

The third bullet immediately turned to the limbs that were used to support the bear's massive body, and the annihilation force caused the thick "thigh" to snap on the spot, so the massive body fell forward and smashed the bone wasteland.

The results were gratifying, but the quick fixes and limbs showed that the bear was not as fragile as it seemed, and that the "stored food" that had accumulated in its body was enough to quickly restore it to its original state.

But Shuge's goal has been achieved.

Now, once again, there was a great commotion in this otherwise silent wasteland, and in the distant sky, the flat shadow that had once left a deep impression on Shug reappeared, and the "scavengers" who had been hiding before also showed their heads and looked at the giant bear that seemed to have been badly damaged.

So Xiuge no longer paid attention to his opponent, he snapped his fingers, directly summoned the Running Mouse, and in this way quickly bypassed the huge body that fell to the ground, and slipped away into the distance.

Unbeknownst to Shug, at the very same time, as he called out the bright flames of the bonfire, countless pairs of astonished eyes were looking in the direction of the wasteland among the tall peaks to which he had made his destination.
