Chapter 248 The hunting begins! The monster appears!
The monster in front of him had an invisible aura.
Its ferocious and burly figure gradually stopped for a moment, and its head poked forward slightly.
It subconsciously hides its restless spiritual power just like humans pretending to be dead.
Shadow beasts are fearless of pain and lack emotions, but they still have the instinct of a beast.
Instinct is their way of survival.
Being a predator, it took a few steps back and hit the door behind it.
"!!!"
Bang!
A semi-illusory tentacle rushed out, like a ferocious python, and smashed over!
Its head sank into the wall, and the wall behind it shattered!
Next! It's the second punch!
Steel!
Accompanied by a stronger black energy, in an instant, the five-meter-high house behind it shattered into pieces and dust flew into the air!
call--
Among the ruins of the collapsed house, all that could be seen was a broken and mutilated upper body, and a black and bloody bear head.
[You killed the big bear shadow deer and received 500 inspiration points. 】
Chen Qi wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the corpse at his feet: "Why are you running? Can't I attract you?"
As he spoke, a small virtual black tentacle slowly grew longer from Chen Qi's back, picking up the creeping shadow on the ground and the core of the shadow.
"It's not fun enough..."
Chen Qi glanced at the creeping shadow in his hand and silently looked towards the end of the street.
Due to the obstruction of vision by the B-level crack, his field of vision was limited and he could not clearly see the creatures on the street, but he could hear their heartfelt cries for help.
It can be heard that the residents of the town are probably running away!
"Am I that scary?"
Chen Qi put the things into his backpack and spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.
In this battle, Chen Qi rarely used a special ability, which was his Shadow Charm Level 3.
Shadow Charm Level 3 can cover itself with a layer of dark aura in the dark, and at the same time, it will also emit some aura that attracts shadow beasts.
Relying on this ability, coupled with the characteristics of night monsters and the darkness of B-level cracks, even in the light of the lantern, Chenqi itself is like a black hole absorbing light, bottomless.
Carrying a lantern during the day, coupled with the charm of shadow, greatly reduces the difficulty of cracking.
However, the power of the lantern during the day and its own aura also caused a lot of trouble.
Chen Qi originally thought that as long as he held a lantern and walked on the street, he would attract the anger of the shadow beasts and attack him.
In this way, he could wait and play a tower defense game, killing the shadow beasts that kept attacking one after another, thereby gaining a large number of inspiration points.
However, things went against his wishes. After activating the touch of the remaining fire and the state of the monster in the night, he held the day lantern and no shadow beast came close to him at all.
To be precise, no human being dared to approach him. Even pirates who had been on the battlefield ran away the moment they saw him.
"Why? Is my posture too scary?"
Chen Qi looked back and glanced at the lingering fire touch on its back.
It grew larger and thicker.
Previously, at the second level, he did not exert the full power of the Ember Touch.
After the third level, the power of the Remaining Fire Touch is fully exerted.
These tentacles increased dramatically, reaching a terrifying three meters in length, and their diameter reached an astonishing fifty centimeters, the width of a human head.
As the source of spiritual power increases, all attributes in the night increase.
These eight thick and ferocious black tentacles danced continuously behind him, which was particularly terrifying!
Coupled with the deep black dyeing of Shadow Charm Level 3, Chen Qi looks like a terrifying monster walking at night with a lantern.
And he himself can also feel the impact of lowered spirits. He is more impulsive and his inner desires are more easily aroused.
"We must find a way to attract those monsters..."
Chen Qi looked at the 1,500 inspiration points on the panel with cold eyes.
The efficiency is too low, and the Night of Shadow Tide is a rare opportunity to earn inspiration points.
At the same time, if he wants to get a C-level rating, he must kill enough shadow beasts.
Chen Qi lowered his head and glanced at the day lantern in his hand.
At this moment, above the ground, some shadow hands spread quietly from the dark ground, trying to extinguish the lantern in his hand.
"Touch! (Go!)"
"Ha! (Go away!)"
The six deep water elves with miner's lamps, like professional bodyguards, drove away these shadow hands.
The hands of shadow are non-lethal and extremely fragile. They only need some simple shouts and blows to scare them away.
The deep sea elves are the best choice to expel these shadow beasts.
With the protection of the deep sea elves, I don't have to worry about the hand of shadow for the time being... Chen Qi's spiritual vision extends towards the darkness.
In the darkness, he could feel the restlessness and panic in the entire town.
In the silent darkness, more and more people are being attacked by shadow beasts.
Whether it is to protect the town or to crawl the shadows, he must hunt and hunt more shadow beasts.
"Since my charm cannot attract shadow beasts, and since holding a lantern during the day will drive away shadow beasts——"
Is there anything weak but powerful enough to attract them? Chen Qi fell into thinking.
Chen Qi couldn't help but lower his head and look at the six cute deep sea elves at his feet.
The deep water elves raised their heads and stared blankly at their master.
…
…
Tick tock! Tick tock!
On the commercial street of the town, a large number of torches and lanterns were torn up and thrown to the ground ruthlessly.
In the darkness, ten townspeople ran hard. They kept hitting the flint stones in their hands and kept asking for help.
Behind them, there was a group of ferocious shadow beasts. They smelled the scent of humans and kept chasing them.
Their number added up to a thousand, and their densely packed bright red eyes formed a terrifying darkness.
They kept making huge gasping and roaring sounds, and were extremely excited.
In the plan of the Poseidon Pirate Group, the townspeople did not consider the town's problems at all, so that the entire town became a paradise for the shadow beasts.
Without guards guarding the town, the townspeople had to rely on their own legs, and non-staff hunters like Chen Qi.
"Light, we need light..."
The townspeople ran hard, and suddenly, they saw a small light source in front of them.
Then, they suddenly stepped into the light source and found temporary shelter.
Light shone behind everyone, and under the light of the lantern, the shadow beasts temporarily stopped their pursuit.
The leading man gasped for air and thanked:
"Thank you!"
However, the next second, the leading strong man was stunned. There was no human being in the light source in front of him.
How does a light source without humans escape the attack of the hands of shadow?
"Waku Waku (Hello!)"
Strange noises were made.
They lowered their heads and discovered six small, unknown creatures with miner's lamp caps on their heads.
In this kind of environment, it's quite cute...
In the very center, there is a special bright lantern.
The leading man shed a drop of cold sweat:
"Thank you... We won't trigger a special plot in the crack, right?"
“Wakuwaku (you’re welcome!)”
Deepwater Elf One bounced politely.
"Everyone, we are here to support!"
At this moment, two random second-level hunters rushed out of the street with torches to support everyone.
Behind them, the ferocious shadow beasts gathered and chased them, forming a dense herd.
The scale of these shadow beasts is so large that even with a bright light source, it is difficult to stop them!
“Get ready to fire!”
They had no time to think about the vision at hand, so they could only ignore the water elves at their feet, took out their weapons, pointed them into the darkness, and fired fiercely.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The sound of gunfire temporarily calmed their emotions.
Suddenly, a child next to a town citizen raised his hand tremblingly and stretched out his index finger:
"Someone...someone is in the dark..."
Everyone was shocked. On the night of the shadow tide, once you are in darkness, your mental value will continue to decrease and you will long for light.
In other words, under normal circumstances, no one would stay in the dark for a long time.
But now, they vaguely saw a human figure in the darkness!
Could the humanoid monster be the special BOSS of Shadow Tide Night? Everyone speculated one after another and didn’t know what to do!
With their strength, they are definitely no match for the BOSS.
"What the hell is this!"
"We need support, we need support from the bishops."
Their hands trembled slightly, and they were about to shoot, but they saw dark black tentacles spreading out from behind the humanoid monster.
The group of shadow beasts that lost their target instantly focused on the human figure in the darkness.
The next moment, the dark humanoid monster and the shadow beast group gathered together.
However, to everyone's surprise, facing a group of thousands of shadow beasts, the man did not escape.
Almost instantly, those shadow beast wolves and shadow beast snakes were entangled by the thick tentacles stretched out and slammed to the ground.
"Ho! Roar! Roar!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The herd of shadow beasts roared loudly.
"After waiting for a long time, I finally caught it..."
Chen Qi activates the energy to transform, and adds steel energy to surround himself with a layer of powerful energy.
Now, it's hunting time!
At this moment, due to their numerical advantage, instead of retreating, the shadow beasts opened their fangs and rushed towards Chen Qi!
The tide of beasts rides on the face, one thousand against one, how can one lose?
Boom, boom.
Above the ground, there were constant sounds of intensive collisions!
Tentacle Meteor Fist!
Every punch of the tentacle is like a huge cannonball! All the shadow beasts that rushed towards him were quickly blocked by the tentacles!
360-degree defense with no blind spots.
In an extremely low mental state, Chen Qi was like an icy fighting machine, constantly using his tentacles and blades to slash and decapitate the shadow beast! Boom!
At this moment, the whole street emitted a terrifying wailing sound.
[Kill the shadow beast wolf and get 100 inspiration points! 】
[Kill the shadow beast dog and get 300 inspiration points! 】
[Kill the Shadow Bird and get 250 inspiration points! 】
[Kill Shadow Fire and get 50 inspiration points! 】
…
Chen Qi's tentacle fists were densely packed, forming a terrifying storm, smashing all the waves of shadow beasts that were constantly coming.
Along with the increasingly fierce bombardment, a large number of inspiration point prompts jumped out in front of Chen Qi's eyes like a tide.
At the same time, the splashing black blood continued to explode like exploding fireworks, spilling onto everyone's faces.
What's going on!
At this moment, everyone in the light source was dumbfounded and retreated one after another.
Although they couldn't see clearly the images in the darkness.
But just from the voice, the stance of the humanoid monster, and the movements of his hands, you can feel that that person is terrifyingly strong!
The BOSS in the night of the shadow beast, beat up the shadow beast again!
Internal strife?
Or is this a monster from the institute?
Everyone couldn't help but wonder.
Unknowingly, the corpses of nearly a hundred shadow beasts fell on the street and turned into pieces.
The originally menacing group of shadow beasts were finally frightened by this terrifying power and fled one after another.
They couldn't believe that someone actually dared to confront them in the dark!
Chen Qi's chest rose and fell with his breathing, feeling the hearty and refreshing feeling that spread all over his body.
Under normal circumstances, in the darkness, his spirit has already returned to zero and turned into a monster full of desires.
But at this moment, he maintained his spirit, and the more he fought, the more refreshing he became.
This is the powerful ability of monsters in the night... Chen Qi spit out a mouthful of blood.
Soon, the herd of shadow beasts fled from here one after another as if they were frightened.
"Who else!"
Chen Qi's eyes flashed with coldness and he looked around.
Along with a large number of killings, suddenly, there was a huge sound.
The surroundings seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge shadow slowly rose from the darkness, blocking the already weak light.
It was a huge shadow python, with a body of forty meters long and a height of five meters. Its scales were like the night itself, dark and deep, and a large amount of human blood and flesh and blood flowed from its mouth.
Its eyes, which were shining with green light, were like will-o'-the-wisps in the netherworld, making people shudder.
The shadow python squirmed slowly, and its huge body ran over the house, making a loud rumble, sawdust flying, and masonry cracking.
As it approached Chen Qi, its high head slowly lowered and met Chen Qi's cold eyes.
It’s time for something delicious!
Big shadow python!
Chen Qi could feel that this was not the monster he had just encountered, but a truly terrifying monster.
The aura it exudes is several times stronger than the Crack Lost One that Chen Qi encountered in Crack No. 8 before.
If placed in a C-level group gap, it is enough to serve as a high-blooded BOSS!
Finally got something hard... The thick tentacles on Chen Qi's back pulled out the long knife from his waist.
Draw your sword!
Chen Qi silently caught the meat and chopped off the bones.
Under normal circumstances, with his strength, even if he had the Blade Release, he was not sure that he could defeat a C-level crack elite BOSS.
Especially with the bonus of B-level cracks, the blood volume of the big shadow python is even far higher than that of the offshore overlord.
After all, he was just a newly promoted third-level rookie. Even if he could win, he would still be covered in bruises.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he has no special attack!
"Number one."
Chen Qi commanded.
call out!
Water Elf No. 1 suddenly picked up the day lantern in the middle and threw it next to Chen Qi.
Carrying a lantern during the day is enhanced by the lighting technique.
The fire-casting technique can cast the light into a new flame based on the light.
Before, Chen Qi deliberately hid in the darkness in order not to be discovered by the shadow beast, but now, that was no longer necessary.
The lighting technique can greatly improve his strength and at the same time cause a high amount of real damage to the shadow beast.
"Forging fire——"
Chen Qi thought softly and put his fingers on the light of the lantern.
On the fingertips, sizzling flames continued to appear, and the flames expanded rapidly like oil.
Chen Qi held the flame with his fingers and smeared it straight across the blade of the long knife. The hot white flame burned fiercely on the blade.
call--
As the fingertips gently left the tip of the knife, drawing the last flame, a perfectly enchanted long knife was formed.
A white fire sword with ultimate special attack against shadow demons!
roar!
The big shadow python raised its head, the surrounding space shook, and let out a deafening roar. It opened its fangs and pressed down heavily like a train falling from the sky!
Chen Qi suddenly drew his sword, and under the catalysis of the transformation of his energy, the white flames suddenly expanded, turning into a long flaming sword that was ten meters high.
Lamp. Cast Fire. Black Wave Slash!
The scalding flames were like a huge chain saw, crushing the rough skin and thick fleshy scales of the big shadow python to pieces.
The surface of the Great Shadow Python's skin is covered with powerful night scales, which are extremely powerful materials. Even spiral bullets cannot break through its defense!
Therefore, the big shadow python is extremely confident.
It didn't hesitate and took a knife from the front. However, just the moment of contact, its night scales melted like wax.
The big shadow python roared instinctively.
It twisted its body, and just as it was about to struggle, black waves burning with white fire erupted in the direction of the long knife, tearing open a ten-meter-long dark red wound.
boom!
With the dark red blood splattered all over the street.
A huge, thick, black corpse was suddenly chopped to the ground, causing the whole street to shake.
defense? How can you prevent it if it really hurts you?
This is the real damage caused by holding a lantern in the daytime and the ultimate special attack of casting fire! Little snake!
Along with the weakening of power and a large amount of smoke and dust, a bright red prompt jumped out.
[You defeat the big shadow python and get 5000 inspiration points! 】
The surroundings gradually became silent, and the smoke and dust gradually fell.
Chen Qi put away the knife and felt the hot feeling coming from his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi felt relieved, turned his head, silently looked at the stupid townspeople and hunters beside the water elf, and smiled: "You are safe, for now."
