Chapter 375: The Beast That Subverts Life and Death
The center of the tenth floor, inside the canyon.
This is the place with the strongest demonic energy in the entire polar night maze.
Within this canyon, the demonic nature that was supposed to exist invisibly was so dense that it became materialized, spreading like wisps of black fog, exuding a dangerous, terrifying, and violent aura.
Under the influence of this aura, not to mention the lower-level professionals, even the higher-level professionals felt vaguely depressed.
After arranging all the support personnel outside the canyon, ready to provide support at any time, Su Ming and his party entered here.
There were nine people in total who entered.
First up are the three six-star professionals from "Summer Chasing Smoke" - Xu Xiayan, Wang Di, and Wang Qian.
The next one is Qiao Liang, a six-star professional from Jinlong Yuge.
Next is Zhu Qian, a six-star professional from Iron Rose.
Then there is Chi Qian, a six-star professional from Azure Mercury.
Together with Su Ming, Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan, a total of nine people entered the canyon together and came to this place full of evil.
The rest of the people were all outside, responsible for the support, including Mu Yan, Feng Qing'er and Tong Xinyao.
As soon as they entered here, leaving aside the group of senior professionals, Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan, the two lower-level professionals, felt a bit hard.
The strong demonic energy that permeated the air seemed to have affected them, making them feel depressed and a little distracted, and their breathing became disordered without them noticing.
"Focus, don't be nervous, and don't feel uneasy, or the devil will take advantage of you."
Xu Xiayan naturally noticed the abnormality of Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan, and couldn't help but remind them with a serious face.
"Ah, yes."
"I know."
Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan responded repeatedly as if they were suddenly awakened, and hurriedly concentrated and adjusted their breathing, but it seemed to have no effect.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but frown.
"No, the demonic nature here is too strong."
Qiao Liang spoke in a deep voice.
"They can't hold on."
Zhu Qian was even more concise and to the point.
Wang Di and Wang Qian's expressions also looked a little heavy.
Apparently, they underestimated the danger here, which resulted in problems for Bai Rushang and Bai Xiaoyan, who were accompanying them, as soon as they entered here.
"It's better to let them go."
Seeing this, Chi Qian made a suggestion.
"But if they go out, there will be no one to operate the alchemical equipment and instruments used for detection and analysis."
Xu Xiayan didn't seem to expect this situation to happen, and her face was full of distress.
The SS-level mission issued by Tianfeng City has two goals to be completed.
1: Find and obtain the Golden Dream Demon line.
2: Conduct reconnaissance on the nightmare mutants that occupy the tenth floor of the Midnight Labyrinth as their territory.
The former has been taken over by the treasure hunting team of thousands of people, and Su Ming's team is mainly responsible for the latter.
What the latter has to do is to first find the location of the nightmare mutants, and then take the opportunity to collect intelligence and data, collect all relevant information, and transmit it to Tianfeng City.
This not only requires confirmation with the naked eye, but also requires scanning and analysis with professional instruments.
Xu Xiayan handed those instruments to Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan to learn how to use them.
Therefore, now in the entire team, only Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan can use this batch of professional alchemical equipment and instruments.
If Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan cannot enter the canyon, the mission cannot be completed.
The two of them obviously knew their mission and expressed it quickly.
"We'll be fine, Captain."
"Yeah, go in."
Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan quickly perked up.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.
Hitting a wall in this unexpected place made everyone's brows furrow deeper and deeper.
In the end, it was Su Ming who stood up.
"Let me try."
Su Ming curled his lips, came behind Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan, stretched out his hands, and pressed down on the backs of Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan with one hand each.
The spiritual power slowly flowed out of his body, along his palms, and injected into Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan, entering their bodies.
"call"
“Very comfortable”
Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan were both suddenly refreshed, and felt a cool and comfortable air flow from their backs to their whole bodies, making them feel very comfortable. The pressure and depression in their hearts slowly subsided, and their minds became much clearer.
This scene made everyone stunned.
"Captain?"
Chi Qian looked at Su Ming in surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Ming glanced at everyone and said leisurely, "I just shared some of my spiritual power with them, so that my spirituality can disperse the evil that is gradually invading their bodies. There is nothing to be surprised about."
After Su Ming said this, Xu Xiayan was the first to react, regardless of the others.
"Yes, it can be done that way." Xu Xiayan chuckled and said, "The sorcerer's spirituality is the natural enemy of the illusionary demon's demonic nature. When the spiritual power containing spirituality enters the body, the invading demonic nature will be dispersed. It's normal."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
"No wonder you look so normal and unaffected."
Wang Di smiled at Su Ming.
"It seems that in the Midnight Labyrinth, warlocks should have more advantages than hunters. At least they will not be affected too much by the devil."
This is how Wang Qian understood it.
Qiao Liang and Zhu Qian looked at Su Ming one after another and said nothing.
Su Ming didn't explain anything. He just mobilized some of his spiritual power and circulated it around the two female hunters from the Bai family before he withdrew his hand.
"This is only a temporary solution. The strong demonic nature will eventually corrode the spirit and soul of professionals with lower strength as time goes by." Su Ming said, "It is best to fight quickly and not drag it out for too long."
"Indeed." Xu Xiayan nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, let's speed up and try to shorten the time we stay here."
Naturally, everyone nodded in response, and then took action one by one, walking towards the depths of the canyon.
That being said, no one dared to make too much noise, and they still had to be cautious.
When they thought that there lived a legendary phantom demon here, a nightmare mutant that could even surpass the seven-star professionals, even if everyone wanted to end the battle quickly, they would inevitably be extremely cautious and advance step by step in a stealth manner.
Xu Xiayan even asked Wang Di and Wang Qian to deliver bottles of alchemical potions to everyone so that they could take them.
"This is an alchemical potion that I specially asked a master alchemist to make. It has the effect of hiding the breath and smell of the user. The quality of the potion is very high and has reached the boutique level. Everyone take it together and try to avoid being detected by the nightmare mutant."
Xu Xiayan was still well prepared and asked everyone to take the alchemy potion one by one and drink it.
Su Ming also drank it and found that the effect was indeed good. Even if he removed the suppression of his own power by the Blue Demon War Stopping Ring, his own aura was still hidden by the effect of the potion.
In this way, if everyone is careful not to make any noise, it will be a perfect ambush.
So, everyone quietly rushed towards the depths of the canyon, like silent ghostly figures, without even stirring up the air flow, just like a group of highly skilled assassins.
In order to hurry on, Su Ming even slightly relaxed his usual self-restraints, showing a speed and stamina that was unlike that of a warlock. He followed closely behind a group of six-star professionals without blushing or panting, which made everyone who noticed this look at him sideways.
If it weren't for the wrong timing and the wrong place, and if there were more important things to do at the moment, Su Ming's behavior would definitely surprise everyone and arouse suspicion from those who are interested.
But now, everyone couldn't care less and just kept on going, looking very focused and trying to keep the noise down, which made Su Ming laugh secretly.
Of course, as they went deeper and deeper into the canyon, Su Ming gradually stopped laughing.
It's not only because the demonic nature here is becoming more and more intense, but also because the spirituality is giving a warning.

The superior spirituality was frantically warning Su Ming that there was something terrifying ahead.
Su Ming's spiritual sense had already swept out, making his eyes gradually become solemn.
Although the others did not possess extraordinary spirituality like Su Ming, they felt uneasy and anxious instinctively.
The phantom demon blood in their bodies was telling them that there were life forms of a higher level ahead of them, making them almost want to turn around and leave.
If they were not on a mission and were just going on a normal treasure hunt, if they had encountered such a feeling in the wonderland, the team leaders and deputy team leaders would definitely not put themselves in danger.
But this time, they were very clear about their mission. They could only suppress their uneasiness and restlessness and head to the deepest basin in the canyon.
In this way, after an unknown amount of time, Su Ming and his party finally crossed the long and narrow canyon and entered a small basin.
Since it is a basin, the terrain here naturally sinks downwards, like a dried-up lake, presenting a wilderness.
In the wilderness, there are no plants, no animals, only a large area of red soil and black fog in the air.
But after arriving here, Su Ming and others held their breath.
They were in a commanding position, and after passing through the canyon and arriving at the entrance of the basin, they immediately saw the scene in the basin.
I saw that in the barren basin, in the black fog, there were figures swaying and staggering back and forth.
Yes.
There are many, many figures here.
Moreover, the owner of the figure was in an extremely strange condition.
Some of them looked like humans, but they had lifeless eyes and pale faces, and they moved slowly like zombies.
Some of them are phantom demons, but they have no demonic nature at all. They drag their bodies of different sizes and move slowly, just like puppets.
Humans and phantom demons were all mixed together. They didn't fight each other, nor did they communicate with each other. They just moved back and forth like lifeless corpses, staggeringly, creating an extremely weird scene.
The creepy scene almost made Bai Xiaoyan scream out loud, but Bai Ruxiang next to her covered her mouth in time.
"What's going on?"
Although Chi Qian and Zhu Qian were not frightened, their expressions changed slightly.
Su Ming and Qiao Liang's pupils also shrank and their hearts skipped a beat.
There's no way, this scene is really weird.
Instead, Xu Xiayan stared at the scene and spoke in a low voice.
"According to the records left in Tianfeng City, these people and the phantom demons should have been the ones who died at the hands of that nightmare mutant."
Xu Xiayan's words made everyone look at her.
Xu Xiayan also faced everyone's gaze and made an explanation.
"If the information in the records is correct, then the nightmare mutant that once invaded the human world with the horror species should have the ability to manipulate the dead."
"It is said that all beings that were eaten and absorbed blood by the nightmare mutant would have their life forms transformed into marks and engraved into their own blood."
"So, as long as the nightmare mutant is injured, the blood flowing from its body will immediately take on the form of the life that was carved, recreating the appearance and even power of that life before it died."
Xu Xiayan's explanation made everyone understand what was going on.
"In other words, the people and phantoms here were once eaten by that nightmare mutant, and what appears here now is just the former life form of that nightmare mutant transformed from his blood?"
Chi Qian looked at the figures walking back and forth like zombies.
"That's right." Xu Xiayan nodded and said, "They are no longer the same as they were in their previous lives. They are just forms formed from the blood shed by nightmare mutants, but they possess all the powers that form had in its previous life."
"That nightmare mutant can manipulate them and use them against the enemy."
The unexpected information made everyone feel depressed.
"Doesn't that mean that the more injured and bleeding that nightmare mutant is, the stronger he will be?"
"Even if it is weak due to injuries, its blood will turn into so much power for it to control?"
Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan were both in disbelief.
But it's true.
"So, the nightmare mutant was able to escape from the siege of our powerful humans because it possessed this troublesome and tricky characteristic."
Xu Xiayan sighed and said something.
"Because of this characteristic, the records left in Tianfeng City call it by this name."
"The beast that overturns life and death - the 'Hell Beast'."
As Xu Xiayan's voice fell, a low growl came from a zombie-like creature in the basin ahead.
"roar!"
"roar!"
A low roar seemed to cause countless chain reactions, causing countless humans and the corpses of phantom demons to roar.
The cry formed layer after layer of air waves and layer after layer of sound waves, which shook everyone's hearts and minds.
"Look over there!"
Suddenly, Wang Qian pointed in a direction ahead, causing everyone to turn their heads and look over there.
The next second, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank.
They saw it.
I saw a terrifying figure that was hard to describe in words.
It lay at the deepest part of the basin, surrounded by countless zombies.
It closed its eyes, dozed off, its body covered with bruises and seemed to be bleeding all the time.
It has a huge, ferocious, dark body, like a hill.
The terrifying demonic nature emanated from him, shaking everyone's heart.
