How could Nightmare not notice Xu Xianxian's wolf-like and tiger-like eyes?

But does she have any choice now?

If it was just a clone, it would have exploded long ago if caught by outsiders. The loss is just a loss, no big deal. It cannot hurt her real body far away on the other side of the starry sky at all.

But in fact, Nightmare has a mission assigned by the Dark Crimson King. If this clone is lost, it will be extremely difficult to project it again. He will inevitably be severely punished by the Dark Crimson King, which is a price Nightmare cannot afford.

The companions who came with her were either demons or cunning devils. It was a traditional virtue for them to watch someone in danger without helping. Moreover, she acted on her own and ended up like this, so all the messages for help she sent out until now have fallen on deaf ears.

When his companions are unreliable, he can only rely on Xu Xianxian, his partner who signed the Death Fire Contract.

Either he chooses to self-destruct and lose this clone, and then be punished by the Dark Red King when he returns, or he chooses to make a deal with Xu Xianxian and let the clone survive.

Apart from this, Nightmare has no third option.

In the projection beneath Xu Xianxian's feet, she was using up her remaining strength to transmit her voice intermittently: "I... am waiting... for you... to hurry up..."

Snap——

Nightmare's words were interrupted before he could finish them. The shadow cast on the ground dissipated and turned into a normal metal floor again.

Xu Xianxian watched the nightmare's shadow disappear. She slapped her face hard, squeezing her flesh and skin, and forging a slightly playful smile: "Soon... we will meet again."

After killing Fu Bei, the guardian of Luogong City, she used black magic to torture his soul, so any related secrets in the city could not escape her eyes.

Not only is the entrance to Fengchuan Hall very hidden, known only to a very small number of high-ranking officials in the ruling department, but even within this hall there are intricate maze passages, as well as various traps and defense matrices.

In addition, this is the crystallization of technology left over from the old era, with huge energy support and extremely complete defense structure. Even spiritual (legendary) creatures find it difficult to destroy it directly from the outside.

In other words, outsiders cannot come in, let alone go deeper.

But if the senior officials who hold some authority in the hall rebelled, that would be a different matter.

Xu Xianxian looked around and saw that it seemed like she couldn't see the end. She didn't go in directly like Lin Chen and the others, but took a few steps to the side. When her body was about to touch the metal wall, she stopped steadily.

"Can a mere illusion of folded light deceive my eyes?"

Her scarlet eyes flickered with a faint red light, and the pupil of her right eye transformed into a small dark red and black dragon. With just a light breath, the scene before her changed instantly.

The passage that originally stretched to the point of no return disappeared, leaving behind an arch bridge made entirely of metal.

At this time, Xu Xianxian was on the outer railing of the arch bridge. As long as she took a step to the left, she would fall directly down and be swallowed by the magma below. Then she would be trapped in the magma by the subsequent defense matrix. Even if she was not burned to death immediately, she would be consumed to death in it.

If it was just the defensive formation on the surface, he could still break free. However, the closer he got to the underground, the stronger the energy surging from the energy hall would be, and the greater the binding force of the defensive formation would be.

If a normal monster is trapped underground, it will not only be fighting against the defense matrix, but all the energy in the entire energy hall.

They could not break free until the energy in the hall was exhausted.

Xu Xianxian is not a fool. She can feel the threat from deep underground, so even if she is not necessarily trapped by the defense matrix, she does not intend to take the risk. Only some low-IQ villains would break other people's magic weapons and traps in order to prove their own powerful strength.

She was so smart that she decided to seize Fengchuan Palace by wits, relying on her great wisdom that far surpassed that of ordinary people to rescue Nightmare, the weakling who had capsized in the gutter.

"This little trap can't faze me at all..."

Xu Xianxian tilted her chin slightly, revealing a slightly smug expression. She swayed a few times on the current railing of the metal bridge, and seemed to be unstable and about to fall down, but she still steadied her body, stretched her body slightly, and jumped onto the metal bridge in a flash.

According to the information obtained from Fu Bei, as long as they cross this metal bridge and then pass through the maze forest in the hall, they can go straight to the core control tower of Fengchuan Hall, which is the source of the defense matrix.

"Outsider detected, aura search initiated... Aura search failed, database contains no information, an undetectable anomalous energy entity..."

However, just as her feet stepped onto the metal bridge, the oval lamppost at the bridgehead suddenly folded at a 90-degree angle, and a metallic pupil appeared on it. The moment this metallic pupil glanced at Xu Xianxian, it began to emit a dazzling red light, and then a piercing alarm sounded.

Beep beep——

Suddenly, alarms rang out throughout the metal bridge and nearby areas.

Xu Xianxian cannot be detected by the naked eye. This is because of the difference in biological nature. The folding and reflection of light on her body cannot be captured by the human eye. However, the metal bridge has an automatic sensing system. The machine can scan Xu Xianxian's breath, but it cannot present an effective image.

In the scanning and sensing of the metal bridge, Xu Xianxian was just a huge, dark and evil energy body, with no temperature, no skin, no flesh, and even no heartbeat.

The fluctuations emitted by this dark energy group have exceeded the detection range set by the machine, so in the unknown situation of incomplete sensing, the metal bridge did not shut down immediately, but directly issued an alarm.

Anything that cannot be understood will be sent a warning message to the internal control tower.

Then the metal bridge activated its emergency mechanism in an instant, and the bridge began to collapse rapidly to both sides. These metal structures began to contract and stretch one by one as if they were living things. Xu Xianxian felt something was wrong and subconsciously flew into the air, but immediately hit an invisible wall. This was not an obstacle for her, and she broke through the invisible wall with just a strong collision.

However, the next discovery made Xu Xianxian a little embarrassed, because she directly crashed into the defense matrix, which was completely unexpected.

It is true that Fu Bei does have some authority, but this part of the hall's authority cannot be transferred. Xu Xianxian originally wanted to rely on her understanding of intelligence and maps to go directly into the hall.

But I hadn't expected the defense matrix here to be so sensitive, triggering emergency measures even for objects it couldn't fully detect. The AI ​​of the old era was truly overly cautious...

"Will I capsize in the ditch?"

Xu Xianxian regretted setting the flag randomly, but before she could struggle, she was dragged into the defense matrix.
