The network connection lasted only ten minutes before it was cut off again.
However, that's more than enough.
Linnaeus closed the system panel.
Sitting in the passenger seat at night, the wind and sand in the wilderness were strong, blowing her long hair wildly and messily.
The wilderness was covered with traces of purple fungus and mycelium, and looked lifeless.
"roar--!!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, and a huge rat-like monster burst out of the ground!
The monster looked like a mutated groundhog, but it was about ten meters long, with a pair of sickle-shaped incisors that were half a meter long, and its eyes were scarlet, making it very frightening!
Linnaeus did not slow down at all and continued driving towards them.
With his left hand gripping the steering wheel and his right hand raising two fingers, he silently chanted an incantation: "Shadow Technique—Shadow Assassin!"
The groundhog monster roared and roared. Seeing that Lin Nai dared to ignore it, it seemed very angry and raised its paws to grab her.
But it didn't realize that the shadow beneath it had transformed into a sharp blade...
"Pfft—"
It pierced straight through its massive body from bottom to top!
"thump"
The groundhog monster has fallen.
Linnaeus turned the steering wheel and circled around the corpse of the groundhog monster.
This was the twenty-seventh monster he had killed on his way here.
"Brother Linna," Nightfall said, looking at the desolate landscape around them, "it seems the closer we get to the capital, the more monsters we encounter..."
“Yes, that’s right.” Lin Nai squinted. “And it seems that these monsters are all gathering in the capital.”
Nightfall asked worriedly, "Then... how do we get closer to the capital?"
Lin Nai: "If all else fails, just switch to Musou mode and fight your way in."
Night: "Huh???"
“I was just kidding, you didn’t actually believe me, did you?” Linnaeus said. “Remember Jill?”
Night paused for a moment, then quickly remembered: "I remember, that down-on-his-luck scientist..."
The girl quickly figured out what Lin Nai was planning: "So we're going to Ancheng? Using that dimensional portal that can lead anywhere, we'll teleport directly into the capital??"
“That’s right.” Lin Nai smiled. “My Wan’er is indeed clever.”
"Hmm..." Night fell a little shy again.
Linna said, "However, even though we are heading towards Ancheng now, there are more and more monsters around us."
Night nodded: "Yes, after all, Ancheng is quite close to the capital..."
Just then, the girl suddenly saw something, paused for a moment, and quickly pointed into the distance, saying, "Brother Linnai, look over there! It looks like someone is fighting!"
"Oh?" Lin Nai looked in the direction the girl was pointing.
Sure enough, about 500 meters ahead, streaks of cold black light were flashing, and several demons were gathered together, seemingly besieging someone.
However......
Linnaeus seemed to have sensed divine power as well?
Lin Nai squinted and took a closer look.
A long-haired woman dressed in a black bodysuit was seen fighting against more than a hundred Senluo-level monsters!
The woman was tall with a high nose and soft features, looking like a mixed-race person. She wielded a huge black scythe, which she swung with heavy yet swift movements, causing demons to fall and howl in agony as they died under her massive scythe.
Linna suddenly felt like she'd seen this woman somewhere before...
Shirley?
Linna remembers her as the rebellious Night's Watch captain in the Kingdom of Kings.
An apostle of the Black Death?
How did she end up in Yan Country?
"Brother Linnai, we seem to know this person," the girl said, turning her head. "Should we go help him?"
Lin Nai nodded: "Yes, of course, after all, they helped us last time."
"Whoosh—!"
Sherry was swift and agile, her eyes as cold as frost. In just a few moves, several more large monsters fell to the ground.
However, her physical strength, soul power, and divine power were gradually being depleted...
He started breathing heavily, clearly a little tired.
There were several bloodstains on her black bodysuit, with obvious wounds on her chest, waist, and thighs, from which blood was constantly flowing out. Excessive blood loss was causing her strength to deplete rapidly.
Furthermore, because the wound is exposed, the pollution of demonic energy in the air will exacerbate its effects on her.
"hateful......"
Sherry gently bit her lip.
Originally, she intended to secretly infiltrate the vicinity of the capital to take a look.
But they never expected to encounter so many demons before even reaching the capital's territory!
At first, there was only one, two, three...
Later, as she fought the monsters, more and more monsters from the vicinity were attracted to the area...
"This can't go on..."
"It seems we can't afford to linger any longer..."
Sherry gripped the hilt of the Grim Reaper's scythe tightly, warily watching the monsters surrounding her, wondering how she could escape.
"Sha!"
A Senluo-level spider demon, over ten meters long, pounced on her.
Sherry bent her knees, pushed off with her boots, and leaped into the air, gripping the scythe of death.
"Divine Art - Black Soul Slash!"
A streak of black light struck the spider demon in the front.
However, this spider demon already possessed the strength of the fifth level of the Senluo realm, and the strike landed on its hard shell without any reaction.
The spider demon's eight crimson eyes suddenly shone brightly, releasing a light that seemed capable of causing mental interference.
Sherry screamed and fell to the ground from the air, the Grim Reaper's Scythe falling to the side.
His head was throbbing with pain, so he could only cover his head and curl up on the ground.
"Sha..."
Dozens of spider demons slowly crawled over and surrounded her.
Shirley's face was pale.
She tried to get up, but a splitting headache left her completely powerless, and even her consciousness was gradually fading...
The spider demons spun out spider silk, which wrapped around her body, slowly enveloping her in the shape of a cocoon.
'I'm so unwilling...'
The scene before Shirley's eyes gradually dimmed.
The spider silk quickly enveloped her, making her unable to see anything at all.
The sounds around me gradually faded away.
Just before she lost consciousness, she seemed to faintly hear a voice that sounded like a dream...
"Divine Art - Ring Silver Moon Slash!"
......
I'm taking a day off tomorrow, the 31st, to go out and celebrate New Year's with friends, sob sob~
