Chapter 988: Choose One
The entire Guihai City was plunged into darkness, and everyone seemed to have become blind. The fear in their hearts was suddenly magnified countless times.
Even an epic-level warrior with eye-system abilities could not see anything in this darkness. There was only darkness, as if it were an eternal night.
Most people are used to using their eyes, so suddenly losing their sight would be a real panic. Then there's the thought of countless monsters all around them, but they can't see them. They wonder what they're doing, are they about to pounce and devour them? Are those dimensional creatures already holding their bloody mouths at their necks?
A large part of human fear comes from human imagination, and this dark environment is the one that is most likely to give rise to fearful imagination.
Zhou Wen didn't like to imagine, so while he used his ability to listen carefully, he also activated the Prison King's soul, making his eight senses become extremely sharp at the same time.
But... it's useless... Neither the ability of listening nor the improvement of the eight senses of the Prince of Hell could enable him to find the trace of the Night Emperor. It was as if the Night Emperor had melted into the night.
"Have you...ever experienced true fear?" Ye Di's voice sounded in Zhou Wen's ears.
But Zhou Wen did not see anyone from the Night Emperor, and the night seemed to turn into a knife, passing across Zhou Wen's neck.
when!
Zhou Wen wore the Star Shell Dragon Armor, activating its absolute defensive capabilities. Even so, a shallow mark as thin as a silk thread appeared on the neck guard of the armor.
"Absolute Defense, this should be the result of the Star Armored Dragon's companion egg, right? You're really lucky. Although the Star Armored Dragon's own abilities are nothing special, Absolute Defense is an extremely powerful skill. Even at the Fear Level, breaking Absolute Defense is not that easy."
The Night Emperor's voice was vague and no one knew where it came from. It seemed as if the Night Emperor's lips were right next to Zhou Wen's left ear and he was speaking. However, when Zhou Wen turned his head, he saw nothing.
At this moment, the voice rang out in Zhou Wen's right ear again: "Absolute Defense is one of the most powerful abilities among God-level abilities. I even wanted to kill the Star Armored Dragon myself to see if it could yield a Companion Egg. But the chance was too low, so I gave up. I didn't expect you to actually take the Star Armored Dragon's Companion Egg. It's a shame, after all, the Star Armored Dragon is only a Mythic-level with little potential. It can't enter the Fear State and can't keep Absolute Defense activated. It can only last for half an hour at most."
Zhou Wen turned his head to the right, but still saw nothing.
"Half an hour, this is the last time you will live in this world, enjoy it. No, one minute has passed now, you still have 29 minutes..." The evil voice of the Night Emperor came into Zhou Wen's ears like a demon or a ghost.
Facing the pressure of death, especially knowing when you might die, the pressure and fear are enough to make people collapse.
But Zhou Wen was not an emotional person. He knew that absolute defense could not protect him forever. Instead of being afraid, he should think about what to do next.
Without hesitation, Zhou Wen's first thought was to run.
Half an hour was enough time for him to use teleportation to travel a long distance, but in the darkness, Zhou Wen teleported several times in a row. He had already left Guihai City, but he still only saw darkness.
All the mountains, rivers and streams are in darkness; you can hear them but you cannot see them.
"Do you want to leave? I can let you go." Ye Di's voice sounded in Zhou Wen's ears again, so close that it made people's hair stand on end.
After Ye Di said this, dawn broke where Zhou Wen was.
But inside Guihai City, it was still dark.
This scene was really unbelievable. It was daytime on Zhou Wen's side, but the city a few meters away was dark and he could not see anything.
"Don't you want to escape? You can go now, but everyone here will become my experimental subjects and experience that one in a thousand possibility. I wonder if there is anyone among them you care about? But no matter how much you care, it is not as important as your own life." The voice of the Night Emperor came from the darkness.
Within the darkness, Ye Di arrived at Hui Haifeng's side like a nightmare. Hui Haifeng felt his eyes suddenly light up, and he could actually see clearly in the darkness. He threw a punch, but Ye Di's body was like a shadow in the darkness. Hui Haifeng's punch passed through him without hurting him at all.
Ye Di smiled and said, "What do you think Zhou Wen will choose? He and you are brothers in the same sect, right? Can the friendship between you transcend the fear of death?"
Hui Haifeng said calmly, "I hope he leaves. With his abilities, he will definitely be able to defeat you in the future and avenge us."
Hui Haifeng didn't shout at Zhou Wen to leave quickly, because he knew that kind of words would only arouse people's bloodiness, and he didn't need Zhou Wen to be bloody right now.
"That's really touching." Ye Di came to Li Xuan and Yaer again, and they suddenly gained the ability to see in the dark.
"Do you think Zhou Wen will leave here or come back to save you?" Ye Di asked with interest.
Li Xuan released the ice silkworm without saying a word, but the ice silkworm passed through the shadow-like Night Emperor and was unable to cause any harm to him.
"It's really interesting. Don't you want him to come back and save you? Do you really not care at all that he abandoned you and ran away? You once regarded him as your best friend and best partner, but he ran away alone when he was in danger. How sad." Ye Di's voice rang in the ears of the three.
"If it were me, I would definitely come back to save you, even if it means living and dying together. What will Zhou Wen choose?" Ye Di continued.
Outside Guihai City, Zhou Wen stared at the dark and gloomy Guihai City with a frown.
"Do you want to escape or not? I'll give you three seconds. If you don't want to escape, then return to darkness." The Night Emperor's voice came from the darkness again: "One... two... three..."
When the Night Emperor counted to three, Zhou Wen turned around and flew away, disappearing quickly.
In the darkness of Guihai City, Ye Di gloated to Hui Haifeng and the other two, "What a pity! It seems your partner is unreliable. Between living and your friendship, he chose to live."
"So what?" Li Xuan glanced at Yaer, who was in a depressed mood in his arms, and suddenly spoke.
"Don't you feel a little bit abandoned?" Ye Di looked at Li Xuan with interest and said.
"Of course I have. Old Zhou is a bastard. I wish I could cut him into pieces, but unfortunately, I may not have that chance." Li Xuan touched Ya'er's head and said, "Zhou Wen is a bastard just like me. If it were just us here, he definitely wouldn't come back. But there's a little princess here that he cares about the most, so he will definitely come back, don't you think, Ya'er?"
Yaer was stunned for a moment, and the lost expression on her face gradually disappeared. Her eyes became firm and she nodded heavily.
"Li Xuan." Hui Haifeng frowned slightly.
Li Xuan waved his hand. "I know what you mean, but a bastard knows a bastard best. He would care more about Ya'er's feelings than letting others know that he would come back. We understand some things, but Ya'er is still young. We can't let her have any psychological trauma. Even if she dies, she should leave happily."
