Chapter 2839

The little fatty fell to the ground, and the black blood at his neck gradually stained the grass beneath him.

The contractor who had shot and killed the little fatty pulled the bolt of his firearm, and a scorching shell casing popped out, still emitting blue smoke—this was the residue of magic energy evaporating.

"The enemy has been shot and killed."

The sniper known as Hu Chai rose from behind cover and looked toward Hai Yizuo, who was walking toward him.

"Hu Chai, run far away, run as far as you can."

Hai Yizuo had heard rumors about the little fatty, but the rumors only mentioned that one must not kill him; he didn't know what would happen if he were killed. Most people who had seen the Black Demon were dead, and the few survivors couldn't clearly describe the little fatty's ability—or rather, they were unwilling to mention it.

"Hu Chai, don't just stand there."

As Hai Yizuo shouted this, he had already begun to retreat.

"I want to retreat too, but... my body won't listen to me."

Hu Chai lifted his hand with great effort; a semi-fluid substance resembling black sludge appeared on his hand, only the size of a coin.

Hai Yizuo, who was retreating, stopped in his tracks. He could feel that if he retreated any further, he might die; a sense of crisis was coming from all directions.

"You can't move? A control effect?"

A healer raised her hand, just about to use an ability, when her hand stiffened; the black semi-fluid also appeared on her hand.

"It's... eating me!"

The healer's voice trembled as she spoke; after all, having one's body gradually devoured was a terrifying thing.

Morei stood where she was, not moving. She had roughly guessed the enemy's ability: one cannot move, and if one moves, that black semi-fluid will appear on their body.

Hu Chai and the healer both remained motionless, as did the nearly one hundred contractors around them. This kind of enemy whose main body cannot be seen is the most troublesome.

"Don't move, that thing will..."

Before a one-armed man could finish his sentence, black semi-fluid appeared on his face. Not only could he not move, but he couldn't make a sound either.

Black Demon preliminary intelligence: Triggered after the host dies. The victim and enemies within??? meters cannot move or make a sound.

Over a hundred contractors were dragged here. Just when everyone thought that not moving or making a sound would suffice, black semi-fluid surged into a contractor's mouth and nose.

Witnessing this, Morei almost burst into tears. Besides not being able to move or make a sound, one also couldn't breathe—who could endure this?

The group of contractors were all people who fought frequently, and they immediately thought of the breathing point; they all held their breath.

3 seconds later, black semi-fluid appeared on another contractor's shoulder. The Black Demon began thermal sensing; the next stage is biological sensing, followed by water component sensing, and finally aura sensing.

Hu Chai, who was the first to be eroded, had already disappeared, turning into a pool of black fluid that surged toward the little fatty in the distance.

The black fluid merged into the little fatty's severed neck, and his head regenerated. After rising from the ground, he walked forward with a smirk.

A moment later, the little fatty arrived among the contractors and sat on a wooden stake next to Morei. Morei, who didn't dare to move, was going crazy inside.

Drip, drip, drip.

An electronic sound came from the little fatty's body, becoming increasingly rapid. Hearing this sound, the dozen or so contractors nearby ignored everything else and rushed toward the surroundings.

A large amount of black fluid surged out, and the dozen or so enemy contractors were devoured in an instant, turning into black fluid that surged toward the little fatty.

The little fatty reached his hand into his bosom, which made Nu Quan, Hai Yizuo, and Morei's hearts skip a beat. This thing couldn't be fought, couldn't be killed, and escaping was even more impossible; it was simply an unsolvable existence.

They saw the little fatty pull his hand from his bosom, take out a children's watch, and turn off the alarm function. The beeping sound from just now wasn't a bomb.

"Are you... afraid of me?"

The little fatty spoke in a dull voice, his gaze fixed on Morei.

"Mm-hmm-hmm."

Although Morei was very confused, she nodded repeatedly.

"You can... go now."

Hearing this, just as Morei tried to lift her hand, black semi-fluid appeared on her sleeve.

"Heh... heh... heh, I was lying to you."

The little fatty's voice remained dull. He reached his hands into his mouth, pulled up and down, and tore his entire face open, with black semi-fluid surging in all directions.

Inside the Ancient Capital, after our side's contractors passed through the perception barrier, they successfully arrived at the Sun Temple. The enemy was stalled. Under Xiaoxiong's warning, our side did not join forces with the Black Demon. Once the Black Demon completely breaks away from the host body, it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; as long as it's a living thing, it's the enemy's prey.

Before long, our main force entered the Sun Temple and figured out the situation inside.

The first floor is a defense zone, the second floor is a duel zone, the third floor is a slaughter zone, the fourth floor is a phantom archer zone, the fifth floor is a stone wall melee zone, the sixth floor is an emergency retreat zone, and the seventh floor is unknown, blocked by a wall of light.

"The World Core is placed on the seventh floor? Who set it up?"

"Not sure."

"Never mind who it is, there are only 50 spots in the duel zone. How do we divide them?"

"Let's draw lots."

Through Shengtian-ge's arrangement, among our 156 contractors, 50 were located in the duel zone on the second floor. The members of our side here were all good at fighting contractors one-on-one but didn't contribute much to group battles.

The sunbeam zone on the third floor was managed by a woman who called herself Scarecrow; she had a way to trick enemies into entering.

The phantom archer zone on the fourth floor was left to fate; the sunbeams shot by these things would occasionally ricochet, easily injuring our own people, and the mechanisms on this floor could not be controlled.

The fifth floor was designated as the decisive battle zone, using the various walls here as cover to fight the enemy to the death. As for the sixth floor, there were surprises there.

It can be said that the contractors on our side who entered the Sun Temple at this time were the entire combat force for the defensive battle, plus those scattered people who had their own ideas.

Over 50 hours passed in a flash. When the first rays of the morning sun rose, the light wall around the Ancient Capital was removed, and the contractors from Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, and Sanctuary Paradise were able to enter the Ancient Capital.

The contractors from Sanctuary Paradise didn't arrive; only 5 of them died. This maneuver of self-annihilation impressed everyone.

Some Qiyuezhe after contractor entered the Ancient Capital. In the distance, roaring sounds continued, and occasionally black fluid could be seen soaring into the sky.

Apocalypse Paradise and Death Paradise had a total of 592 people arrive at the edge of the Ancient Capital, and now only 543 remained. The rest were all devoured by the Black Demon. As the price for devouring these people, the Black Demon would go berserk for a few days.

Morei, whose face was slightly pale, stopped in front of the main entrance of the Sun Temple. Nu Quan, who walked up from behind, pushed Morei away; Nu Quan was very angry now.

With a bang, the metal door of the temple was kicked into a twist by Nu Quan and flew inside. Seeing this, Nu Quan's eyes lit up; if the temple could be destroyed, the situation would be different.

Nu Quan clenched his right fist, the muscles on his arm bulging, and he slammed a punch into the wall next to the door.

Thud~

Nu Quan maintained his punching posture. A moment later, he sighed.

"The wall cannot be destroyed."

Nu Quan walked forward. After avoiding everyone's line of sight, the flesh on his face twisted. He had used 150% of his strength for that punch, and the bones in his hand were almost crushed into biscuit crumbs.

The scene on the first floor of the temple appeared in Nu Quan's eyes; stone pillars stood everywhere. On the first floor, there was only one enemy contractor.

"Everyone, welcome to the Sun Temple. I am the guide for you distinguished guests, Baron Revenge."

A man wearing formal attire, with his hair groomed to perfection, bowed to the group of contractors.

"..."

"?"

"What are they doing again, these lunatics."

Several Apocalypse contractors who had just escaped from the Black Demon's mouth felt a sense of revulsion from the bottom of their hearts toward this man who called himself Baron Revenge.

"Are you all dissatisfied with me? If so, then I shall apologize with my death."

Baron Revenge pulled a short blade from his sleeve, and the sharp edge wiped across his neck, slitting his entire throat, with fresh blood spraying several meters away.

With a thud, Baron Revenge fell to the ground. Unlike the Scarecrow on the third floor, he had no special talents and couldn't dance, so he performed an on-the-spot death for the group of enemies.

Morei outside the door couldn't help but groan. Witnessing this scene reminded her of the Black Demon she had encountered just now.

"Are you kidding me, again!"
