Chapter 3191: Stay Hidden!

Tian Yu's play-dead skill basically had no effect. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang watched him disappear with its own eyes, and immediately thought that Tian Yu had turned invisible. The result could be imagined. Amidst Tian Yu's screams, Su Xiao's first axe chopped on the other party's waist, and the second axe sent him away.

The sky above was pitch black, and the slaughterhouse didn't look dark. There were lamps on the high walls on all four sides of the east, south, west, and north, and there were many light sources in the venue.

Su Xiao shook the blood off the hunting axe. He seemed to only need to hunt down the enemy, but actually, it wasn't so.

After putting on the Life Hunter set, Su Xiao discovered one thing: whenever he hunted down a target beyond a certain sight, a kind of inexplicable pleasure would come from the hunting axe and the metal mask. This kind of external "emotion" was similar to a debuff state, causing his Sanity Value to gradually slide.

Sanity is not only reduced by injuries or mental shocks; when Su Xiao is hunting prey, the pleasure fed back by the hunting axe and the mask also lowers his sanity.

Once Su Xiao's Sanity Value was lower than 50%, he would be assimilated by the Nightmare World, absorbed completely, and die here. All assets in his storage space would belong to the Nightmare King.

The Nightmare King's malice was very strong. What it wanted to do was to reduce the Sanity Value of those who entered the Nightmare World, then appreciate the losers whose sanity had slid to nothing, and finally seize everything from them.

Su Xiao estimated that the Nightmare King had quite a few scroll fragments. After obtaining these scroll fragments, he would have an early advantage. In subsequent games, he would have the confidence to avoid some risks and gains that were not equal.

In the Main Painting World, there were four paintings, which corresponded to four "Inner Painting Worlds." Su Xiao guessed that compared to the worlds in the other three paintings, the Nightmare World was the most special one, and it might also be the smallest world.

With a rough estimate in his heart, Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was in concealment, to continue searching in the ruins. First, he had to determine the location of the five lock disks. Finding the lock disks would make things much easier.

Guarding one lock disk was useless. There were five lock disks. Survivors only needed to correct four, and the exit would open. If anyone walked out of here, Su Xiao would lose, and he would be immediately transmitted out of the Nightmare World, unable to obtain even half a 【Scroll Fragment】.

To be safe, Su Xiao had to find at least three lock disks and 7–10 serrated beast traps. He would guard one lock disk himself while setting serrated beast traps near the other two.

Hunting down survivors wasn't the key, unless the survivors gathered together. Because after those 8 people gathered together, Su Xiao could gradually force them to lean toward the initial plaza through relatively gentler methods.

The initial plaza only had one entrance. As the Life Hunter, Su Xiao couldn't enter, being blocked by a layer of barrier, but he could block the entrance, commonly known as blocking the birth point.

As long as those survivors couldn't leave the initial plaza, Su Xiao would win.

Su Xiao walked forward at a speed that wasn't fast. Suddenly, a sense of palpitation appeared, as if something very bad was happening. This was... someone was correcting a lock disk.

Su Xiao discovered a kind of ability as a Life Hunter, or rather, this wasn't his ability, but the rules of this game.

When a survivor was correcting a lock disk, Su Xiao could sense the moment of that lock disk, just a rough location. Judging from the feeling just now, for each lock disk, Su Xiao could only sense it when it was initially corrected. Afterward, if someone corrected it again, he wouldn't have any feeling.

"3 o'clock direction."

"Alright."

Baja flew to low altitude and glided quickly to determine the specific location of the lock disk just now.

A few minutes later, a prompt appeared.

【Announcement: Lock disk (ii) has been corrected.】

【Remaining lock disks to be corrected: 1/4.】

Seeing this announcement, Su Xiao quickened his pace. Someone had already corrected the first lock disk. The opponents this time weren't weak. Even if they were using Nightmare bodies now, they were all difficult enemies to deal with.

"Found it."

Baja flew down. Its appearance had long changed, disguised as a semi-mechanical vulture. Its single eye was like a red indicator light, giving people a sense of inexplicable chill.

After Su Xiao took off the Life Hunter set, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja's temporary disguise would be lifted.

According to Baja's guidance, Su Xiao soon arrived in front of a towering wall. This wall was at least three meters thick, dozens of meters high, and more than 200 meters long.

Below this giant wall was an open space, and nearby were many low walls and dilapidated stone houses. The terrain here, although not complex, wasn't suitable for pursuit.

Su Xiao stopped under the giant wall. The wall was covered with complicated carvings in "Aztec style." At a height of about 1 meter from the ground, there was a metal disk with a diameter of 1 meter. This disk was divided into more than ten rings, with many three-dimensional patterns of different shapes on it. The principle of this thing was similar to a Rubik's cube.

Su Xiao observed for a moment and found that this metal disk, which was the lock disk, wasn't too difficult to correct. If one calmed down, it could be corrected in 2–3 minutes, at least with his logical thinking ability.

Su Xiao's finger pressed on the outermost ring of the lock disk and pushed down.

Click-clack~

All ten or more rings on the lock disk turned. The three-dimensional patterns on it became chaotic. For Su Xiao, this was good news. If the lock disk couldn't be disrupted after correction, his probability of losing would be very high. After all, the enemy side was eight people, and his side, counting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja, was only three search units.

Su Xiao's act of disrupting the lock disk made several people more than 100 meters away very dissatisfied. In a stone house with holes in all four walls, Morey, Moon Apostle, and succubus Lilim were lying flat on the ground, relying on the survivors' ability to hide, and observing Su Xiao more than 100 meters away.

"This bastard, I worked so hard for so long."

Morey, lying on the ground, had a crazy expression. The difficulty of correcting the lock disk, in her view, was anti-human. Her brain was about to explode before she corrected it well.

"Shh~"

Moon Apostle signaled to keep quiet.

"It's okay, at such a distance, even if it's the Life Hunter, it's impossible to detect us. Moreover, we are in strong concealment."

Lilim was thoughtful, not rejecting cooperation with the two from Apocalypse Paradise.

"Morey, that guy has left. Now is the opportunity, go!"

Moon Apostle stood up and made a movement like a dog trainer. Seeing this movement, Morey felt she was insulted, but she couldn't find evidence.

"He will come back. It's useless to correct the lock disk now. Finding other lock disks is the key."

"No, it's more important for you to correct the lock disk now. First, train your correction ability. This is the key to the final battle."

Moon Apostle's words made Lilim look sideways, deciding in her heart that after this survival game ended, she could also consider cooperating with these two.

"But..."

Morey looked troubled. Just as she wanted to say something, she was pushed out by Moon Apostle and Lilim.

"I..."

Morey still wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, she could only run toward the lock disk with somewhat strange steps.

"Moon Apostle, what's wrong with Morey's legs?"

"It's okay, you don't need to be surprised by any confusing actions she makes."

Moon Apostle had long been used to it; she understood this close friend of hers.

A few minutes later, Morey in front of the lock disk saw sweat on her head. She took a deep breath and corrected the lock disk. After completing all this, she ran toward behind a low wall in a hurry.

Hum~

The sound of a whistle entered Morey's ears. She stopped suddenly, turned with a green expression, and ran to the stone house where Moon Apostle and Lilim were. Although it was riddled with holes, it was the most suitable place to escape, and one could escape in three directions.

Bang.

The hunting axe was nailed to the low wall opposite Morey. In the stone house, Moon Apostle and Lilim both saw this scene. They immediately thought that after the Life Hunter left, he left behind a monitoring method, which could be biological or mechanical.

Moon Apostle made a prompt decision and threw a ball in her hand. With a bang, strong light appeared. This was an item in the slaughterhouse, very precious as of now.

"Woo~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's cry was held back. It covered its eyes with two front dog paws. It just couldn't speak, otherwise, it would definitely shout: "Eyes! My titanium alloy dog eyes!"

Taking advantage of the light, Morey and the others rushed behind the low wall. It could be said that the reactions of the three were very fast, discovering Su Xiao's return, immediately associating it with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's existence, and interrupting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's continued tracking.

Under the low wall, Morey and the others lay there, not daring to breathe.

Clatter, clatter.

The sound of iron chains colliding got closer and closer, followed by footsteps. Moon Apostle felt her heart beating fast. She hadn't had this feeling for a long time, partly because of the weakening of her physical fitness, and partly because she wasn't very courageous in the past.

Sizzle~

The axe blade scraped across the wall, bringing up sparks. After being calm for a few seconds, a muffled sound came, and the hunting axe chopped on the low wall opposite Morey.

Through the metal mask, the slightly metallic breathing sound entered the ears of Morey and the others. They lay flatter, wishing their heartbeats would stop.

A semi-mechanical vulture flapped its wings, circling at low altitude. The Life Hunter carrying the hunting axe searched everywhere. Seeing suspicious places, he chopped with an axe, decisive and fierce.

In this scene, even Lilim began to panic. She hadn't died, nor did she want to experience the feeling of death, especially being chopped to pieces by that monster. She could even imagine the cold axe blade chopping into her skull and touching her warm brain. This was such a terrible feeling.

Thinking of these, Lilim lay flatter. She turned her head to look at Morey on the side. Morey... was crying?

Lilim was surprised in her heart. Moon Apostle was even more surprised. This scene was indeed scary, but as a battle angel, Morey would be scared to cry? This was how incredible.

In reality, Morey wasn't scared to cry; she was holding back tears. Before setting off with Moon Apostle, in order to test the blood recovery buff, they drank a large amount of Life Fountain, and then after exercising~

Just now, before Morey corrected the lock disk for the second time, she actually wanted to relax, but her teammates didn't let her. After all, this wasn't a safe place. Morey thought about it, and it was right, so she should endure it.

And at this moment, Morey discovered a very serious problem, which was that Moon Apostle also had a similar expression. This was also normal. Their drinking amount was similar.

In Morey and Moon Apostle's desperate eyes, Su Xiao, as the Life Hunter, sat on a low wall not far away. A hunter must have patience. ===== CHAPTER 3192 =====

Under the desperate gazes of Morey and the Moon Apostle, Su Xiao, acting as the Fate Hunter, sat on a low wall not far away. "A hunter must have patience."
