Chapter 2665: Opponent
Fog City in the evening felt like another world. The weather, which was already shrouded in thick fog, coupled with the arrival of night, made the street somewhat eerie. However, the dim yellow light coming from the windows on both sides of the street dissipated most of the eeriness.
Although it was only 7:00 PM, not a single pedestrian could be seen on the street. This was the tradition of Fog City. After the thick fog arrived, unless there was an urgent matter, people would no longer go out after 6:00 PM.
Su Xiao held an iron shovel in his left hand and a direction pointer in his right. He was not familiar with Fog City. Fortunately, he didn't need to arrive at a specific location. The one responsible for negotiating with the pianist tonight was Baja.
Su Xiao needed to find a place suitable for him to fight. The previous basement was not bad. This time he prepared to go to the cemetery in the west of the city. After the battle, he didn't need to wait for the logistics department to come; he could dispose of the Dark Demon's corpse on the spot. This was also the reason he brought a shovel.
Hundreds of meters away, Nightmare was tracking Su Xiao. She floated in the fog, her eyes clearly showing some confusion, not understanding why Su Xiao brought a shovel.
After tracking all the way, the fog became thicker and thicker. When Nightmare left the urban area and faintly saw the large expanse of tombstones in the distance, she understood why Su Xiao brought a shovel. It turned out he was coming to dig graves. The hunter relic was in these graves!
Actually, Nightmare misunderstood. Su Xiao brought a shovel to bury her, and it had absolutely nothing to do with digging graves.
In the eerie cemetery, the scene here would scare the actors to death if they were filming a ghost movie. The original plan was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang should act with Su Xiao to scout whether Dark Demons had arrived nearby.
After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang came to the cemetery to scout in the afternoon, it felt that it couldn't handle this matter. If it came to this cemetery at night, it wouldn't be scared into peeing itself, that was because it was holding it in tight. It couldn't scout at all.
In the cemetery where the temperature dropped to freezing point, a few half-dead old trees were scattered. Su Xiao sat under a tree and began to wait. A new grave nearby made him somewhat concerned. This was buried a few hours ago.
In the thick fog hundreds of meters away, Nightmare was also waiting. She was puzzled why Su Xiao still hadn't started digging.
After waiting for a full half hour, Nightmare began to feel anxious. She decided not to wait anymore and risk exploring the situation in the surrounding graves. Ten third-stage Dark Demons had already died in Fog City today. These were the backbone of the Dark Prison. If too many died, it would be difficult for her to explain to Haogui and Soul after returning to the Dark Prison.
Wisps of white gas drifted from all over Nightmare's body. This was her true body. After completing the separation, Nightmare's combat power would drop by more than 90%, but it would be extremely difficult to be sensed. She had tested it before. In her current state, even Haogui couldn't find her unless she got within 3 meters of Haogui.
The scene in front of Nightmare turned into black and white. She looked at the direction where Su Xiao was and could clearly see a 'round ball' with a diameter of more than ten meters. That was the enemy's perception circle. As long as she didn't enter this perception circle, there would be no problem.
Nightmare began to get busy, walking between every grave, looking for the hunter relic that might appear.
Su Xiao, sitting under the tree, lit a cigarette. He was waiting, waiting for Baja to finish the negotiation on the other side. Only after the God Hunter relic was in hand would he continue on his side. This was safer.
More than ten minutes later, Nightmare floated out from a grave mound. She felt she had been played. She had searched all the graves here, and except for bones, she hadn't found anything.
Nightmare returned to her host body, and those ghostly green pupils opened. Suddenly, the pendant on her ear lit up with a faint light, which made her start to listen to something.
The more she listened, the uglier Nightmare's face became. Through someone's narration, she knew one thing: she had indeed been played. The relic she snatched was not left by a God Hunter at all, but a relic of an Old Hunter. The World Power inside was nearly a hundred times different. Let alone dying for this, even if 10 third-stage Dark Demons died, it wasn't worth it.
Anger surged in Nightmare's heart, but the anger in her heart quickly dissipated, because what she was doing now was not worthless. She held back the enemy's strongest one, at least that was what the person who contacted her said, and told her to continue holding the other party back at all costs.
Time passed second by second. After another ten minutes or so, Su Xiao stood up from under the tree. According to the previous arrangement, Baja was to take over the hunter relic within an hour, but until now, no news had come from that side.
"Where do you want to go."
Nightmare, wearing a white robe and a hood, walked out of the fog. Behind her, a looming giant creature was making a rough breathing sound.
【Notification: Your follower Xiang Bubu Teni has obtained 'Spirit Echo Relic'. This item can be sold for 1280 points of World Reputation.】
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao knew his plan hadn't failed. The Baja and Amu combination was likely held back, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had always been acting freely, took on the heavy responsibility. With the cover of Baja and Amu, it successfully obtained the hunter relic.
Nightmare walked over. As she moved forward, the giant creature behind her revealed its true form. This was a giant Dark Demon, over six meters tall, holding a serrated great blade in each hand, covered in dried blood and broken meat.
These two serrated great blades were obtained by Nightmare many years ago. They were originally the weapons of a certain God Hunter. These two weapons were very unique. As long as they devoured enough Dark Demon flesh and blood, their size, weight, and toughness would all improve.
And the giant Dark Demon holding these two serrated great blades was actually formed a few minutes ago, at the cost of twelve Dark Demons. The most difficult point in constructing a collective body was to make these twelve Dark Demons all willing.
Under normal circumstances, this couldn't be done, but Nightmare could. In her view, these twelve Dark Demons were no match for Su Xiao at all. The ten Dark Demons last time were slashed by the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables. This time, with two more, there was no big difference.
This made Nightmare make up her mind to let the twelve Dark Demons fuse together through her own ability, constructing a fusion body with a very short survival time. The price paid was not small, but the gain was also huge, which was that the fusion body was very strong, at least in short-term battles. Nightmare had done this kind of thing more than once. Last time she fell out with Haogui, she used this means to deal with Haogui. Although she didn't win, she also blocked Haogui for a long time.
In fact, Nightmare ignored a very critical problem. In Haogui's cognition, even if there was a conflict with Nightmare, that was a conflict between their own people, and there was no need to kill.
In the fog, the giant Dark Demon let out a low roar, its eyes, gathered from multiple pupils, staring at Su Xiao.
"That's enough, assist me."
Nightmare's finger pointed at the pendant on her right ear. This seemed to be a supernatural item that could conduct long-distance spiritual contact.
With a 'crack', a bolt of lightning struck down at an incredible speed, just hitting Su Xiao. This lightning was ridiculously fast, and there was no sign of it when it appeared. This was definitely not Nightmare's ability.
Su Xiao's whole body surged with lightning. He slowly raised his left arm and lowered his head to look. Electric sparks were surging on the metal bracer on his left arm.
"Roar!"
The giant Dark Demon roared and rushed toward Su Xiao with large strides.
Nightmare looked at Su Xiao, who was surging with electric arcs. This lightning strike was enough, making Nightmare feel that she could kill Su Xiao right here.
The giant Dark Demon rushed over with large strides. The rumbling sound of its running footsteps got closer and closer in front. Su Xiao contacted Baja and Amu through the team channel, but there was still no response. It was either because the distance was too far, or they had encountered trouble on that side.
A serrated great blade tore through the fog, carrying a whimper as it slashed toward Su Xiao. Judging by the momentum, it was going to split Su Xiao in half.
Clang!!
Sparks splashed. Su Xiao held his blade with one hand to block above. A hint of red light appeared in the center of his pupils.
In the sewer of Fog City, Amu held the Dragon Heart Axe, and Baja stood on its shoulder. At this time, electric arcs were flashing on Baja's body. It had just tried to shuttle through space, but as a result, it was electrocuted and almost fainted for a moment.
In the sewer in front of and behind them, a large group of monsters with exposed flesh and blood, crawling on all fours, were blocking the way.
"Not good."
Baja looked at the corner in the distance of the sewer. In the darkness there, a figure was standing. It couldn't see the other party's appearance, nor could it sense the other party's aura, but Baja had a feeling that it seemed to have seen this person before.
"Not good? These Soul-Stripping Hounds can't hold you back for too long, nothing is not good."
The person standing in the darkness spoke. Because the voice was somewhat blurry, it could only be judged that he was male.
"Don't misunderstand, it's that I messed up a matter, causing part of our plan to fail. If we delay too long and we haven't returned yet, then it will be very bad. Don't misunderstand, I mean you guys are in a very bad situation."
Baja, with red eyes, laughed loudly. Its wings spread, and it suddenly disappeared.
Cemetery, thick fog drifting.
A figure was running in the cemetery, stumbling, leaving light red translucent blood stains along the way.
"How is it possible, how is it possible!"
Nightmare ran stumbling. She could no longer float. One-third of her true body had been slashed off, making it difficult for her to control her sense of balance.
A sound of breaking wind appeared from behind. A giant spherical object flew from afar. Hearing the sound of wind behind her, Nightmare pounced forward with all her might.
Thud!
A giant head full of sharp teeth fell, half-embedded in the mud. And on this head, there were several terrifying slash marks, one of which had slashed a large piece off the top of the head.
Nightmare, with blood all over her face, sat on the ground. Just as she was about to retreat, she was blocked by a tombstone behind her.
Footsteps came from the fog. The first thing Nightmare saw were two red glints in the fog. They seemed to be a pair of pupils. ===== CHAPTER 2666 =====
