Chapter 139 Attack in the Dark
With a suppressed exclamation, Miss Valente was pinned to the ground by Lynch. While rolling, the two of them saw the location where the muffled sound came from behind. . There was nothing there, just as dark as the surrounding area.
But the muffled sound and impact don’t lie.
Lin Qi let go of the noble lady in his arms. The two of them ignored the embarrassment and looked at each other in shock. They each took two steps back and quickly left their positions, moving quickly while trying to observe carefully.
The darkness was thick, and the light beam of the Torch of Light barely illuminated the ground through the darkness. The two of them saw it correctly. There was indeed nothing on the ground. Then they raised the light beam upwards, and above it was the second floor where they had just jumped down. The floor, like the lower floor, barely penetrated the dark light beam and could not see any foreign objects.
Damn it, what kind of monster is hiding in the dark?
Fear often comes from the unknown. The more invisible it is, the more nervous the two people feel.
There was definitely something there, and something hostile, but there was nothing to be seen in the darkness. It must be pulled out, otherwise no one knows whether it will attack, and you may not be so lucky next time.
"You cover me, Mr. Leviv."
Miss Valente, who was opposite, waved the beam of light. Seeing Lynch also wave his 'flashlight' in response, she moved her steps cautiously and approached the dark location.
That’s right, another method of perception might work. Lynch nodded. He wanted to take out his gun for cover, but after thinking about it, he still held the cane and leaned over, closely following Miss Valente. , ready to hit with a stick at any time.
But what to smash? There is indeed nothing.
As Miss Valente approached step by step, Lynch also swung the light beam in front of her repeatedly, but nothing changed. The light beam barely penetrated the darkness and shone on...
Huh?
Why can it barely penetrate the darkness? Why is there always a hazy feeling behind the darkness?
No, there is nothing there, there is darkness itself.
When he realized this, Lynch only felt an instinctive fear. Based on experience, he already knew that this was the physiological reaction when understanding mysterious aliens for the first time, but he still felt cold in his heart, like a glow. back.
“Watch the ground.”
Restraining his instinct, Lynch only had time to roar, and at the same time, he waved his cane and slammed it into the dense darkness.
There was a muffled sound, and it felt like hitting a rubber tire. A powerful shock force far beyond the strength of one's own arm came from the cane. Because he held the cane tightly, his whole body was shaken off the ground by the force, and he slid back a few steps and hit the stone pillar hard.
Miss Valente was stunned when she heard the sound. Although she didn’t understand what to be careful about, her steps had stopped. Then she saw the whole process of the trapeze. Although her brain had not had time to react, her body had already made a decision. To cope.
A ball of flame lit up at the top of the folding fan, and with a roar, large pieces of shotgun sprayed out of the muzzle and disappeared into the darkness in front of her. The darkness paused as if it had an entity, and then enveloped her again.
The light shield reappeared, and the eggshell-like shield popped out of her body, glowing with light and colliding with the darkness in front of her.
A wave of air struck, and even Lynch in the distance could detect it. Miss Valente staggered back a few steps under the impact, and barely managed to avoid falling because of Lynch's timely reaching out to support her.
"Oh, Fiona, it's the invisible child."
Lynch's wrist trembled. He heard this name when he listened to the professor's anecdotes during the archeology course. It is said that it occasionally appears in ancient ruins. There is a very troublesome and strange creature. Without thinking too much, Miss Valente pulled his arm, and the two of them took two steps back. At this time, Lynch finally saw the appearance of his enemy clearly.
It was a ball of translucent black material like an ooze monster. The huge ball was slowly squirming. It was large enough to wrap several people, and it was taller than a person when it was propped up. This thing was so dark that it was impossible to tell if it was hidden in the darkness. It was even more difficult to detect, especially since it seemed to have fallen from above the head just now.
Wait, the top of your head?
The two of them felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, exchanged glances, quickly changed their positions again, and raised the light beam upward at the same time. Sure enough, there was another one visible in the upper range, just above the two of them. It's about to fall down at one point.
"You can't fight hard, Mr. Leviv. They are extremely powerful. Once swallowed, they will be crushed like those mummies. And note that they are immune to physical attacks."
Miss Valente looked up to see that there were no enemies above her. She stopped and opened the folding fan, popped out the cartridge case, took out two more red bullets and was about to stuff them in:
"Use an attack with additional effects. , such as flames."
"Stop, it's best not to use flames." Seeing the noble lady's actions, Lin Qi grabbed her hand, "Set fire will only make our life here shorter. We can't breathe."
"Then use acid."
Miss Valente didn't find it difficult at all. She magically replaced two green shelled shotguns and stuffed them into the folding fan. She pulled the front half of the folding fan with her left hand, and the fan emitted The click of the gun bolt was pulled, and the movements were skillful like those experienced soldiers in the movies.
"Take these two. Unfortunately, I didn't bring the acid bullets for the pistol. I will bring them for you next time." Lynch was a little stunned and subconsciously took the two handed over by the noble lady. The brown glass bottle is tightly sealed and contains more than half of the liquid. What is this?
"Strong acid, just throw it at it. I packed a dozen of them before when I saw that I still had some space, but I didn't expect that I actually used it."
Hey, girl, why do you have everything? ? Do you want to use various props to smash all the monsters to death? And one belt and one dozen, forget it, you have the ability to make money, you are great.
"Then save your bullets, I'll do it."
Lin Qi put away one bottle tangledly, unscrewed the other bottle, and rushed towards the squirming Invisible Son.
This thing is not fast. It is just because of its huge size that its relative speed exceeds that of ordinary humans. However, its small-scale dodge and maneuver is still far inferior to Lin Qi, who has been blessed by the cat god. Lin Qi rushes over and takes advantage of the opportunity. The ooze-like darkness shrouded the face and suddenly turned sharply, and the open bottle hit the monster hard.
Following the bottle, it disappeared silently into the darkness, as if it had been swallowed by a swamp.
Huh?
Lynch was stunned for a moment and stopped subconsciously. Then Miss Valente's anxious reminder sounded behind her.
"The top of my head."
Oops, I was careless.
Lin Qi's heart sank, and he felt a strong wind falling from the sky and hitting his head. He almost used all his strength to try to move back to avoid the attack above his head, but the wind had already reached his head and he had no time to dodge.
Lynch gritted his teeth, and at the last moment he held the bottle of acid that he had put away, and fed it a bottle of acid when it was swallowed. This was the last resort to survive. But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared out of thin air between him and Miss Valente, and then a huge force came from the beam and pulled him over.
【Power, protection, ability, protective grasp. 】
Bang, another invisible child almost hit Lynch's head, setting off a wave of air on the ground, but Lynch had been pulled by the beam and flew backwards, staggering down with a look of shock on his face. Next to the pale Miss Valente, she sat down with a thud.
Just as Miss Valente was about to reach out and pull him up, she saw his expression change again. He jumped up suddenly and pulled Miss Valente back. At the same time, the third invisible child was coming from Miss Valente's body. The top was empty.
It’s so dangerous. The two looked at each other in shock, and both could see the other’s uneasiness.
The invisible son who swallowed the acid bottle suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass, and then a large amount of pantothenic acid smoke emitted from his body, which quickly melted like a leech dipped in salt, and finally turned into a ball of darkness. On the ground, the two new ones that appeared were not affected by the death of the same kind at all, and squirmed towards the two of them very persistently.
How many more are there? It’s not okay to have more and more.
“We are here to destroy the evil god’s clone, not to clean up the city. We cannot be reluctant to fight, we must find the target as soon as possible.”
“Okay, the evil god’s clone should be hiding in their temple of death. But I don’t know what it is or where it is.”
"I know. I've been to the one in the Mayan Dream. It should be the same as here. The temple has a green light."
Lynch pulled Miss Valente's hand, and they touched one's head and the other's. Ahead, bypassing the two invisible sons, he quickly ran out of the building surrounded by stone pillars and rushed into the ancient city.
It is indeed the same as the city in the dream, except there are no ghouls wandering on the streets.
At the end of the field of vision, in a distant place, a green light beam emitted a strange shimmer.
As expected, joy appeared on both of their faces. The goal was so obvious, it was obviously the best news.
However, Lin Qi still felt a little uneasy. Is it too obvious?
As soon as the uneasiness arose, rustling sounds came from the surrounding darkness, which was the sound of the invisible child squirming against the ground.
There are them in several directions, God knows how many are hiding in the darkness.
The pursuers have arrived, and the target is so obvious that there is no room for further thought.
The two looked at each other and nodded. One held the acid, the other held the shotgun, and turned towards the direction of the light beam.
