Chapter 246

However, what he didn't know was that Su Bei really didn't need this opportunity this time. He had to go in and participate in person, otherwise the "Dream Bubble" would have no chance of being used.

But he still had to pretend for a while, so Su Bei pretended to be dissatisfied and refuted a few sentences, and then he "reluctantly" walked into the shopping mall with everyone.

In stark contrast to the outside world, there was not even a single low-level nightmare beast to be seen in the shopping mall. The entire first floor was empty, without a single sign of life. It could be said that there was something wrong that was visible to the naked eye.

"Has no one checked this place?" Lan Subing asked in a low voice, and used her supernatural power briefly, "The Nightmare Beast Appears!"

After waiting for a while without any movement, she shook her head: "There is no nightmare beast on the first floor."

"Then let's go upstairs." Jiang Tianming immediately led the team up the stairs. It would be too easy to get into danger if they took the elevator in a place like this. The simplest way to go upstairs was safer.

Su Bei followed the crowd, silently thinking about where the Spider Nightmare would be. Its goal was to catch everyone in one net, and the "everyone" here must include himself. So the Spider Nightmare could not be hiding in the place Su Bei knew, that is, the cinema.

There were no nightmare beasts on the first floor, which meant that the opponent was still planning a sneak attack. Based on his previous scouting, the most suitable place for a sneak attack should be - Su Bei raised his head and looked at the huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling far above his head.

As a large shopping mall, many things in this shopping center are actually transparent. For example, the glass doors and windows of the shops, the transparent fences... It can be said that it is difficult to find a very hidden place here, except for the toilets and the cinema. This is also the reason why Su Bei finally decided to choose a cinema after shopping for half a day that day.

The toilet is actually a good place to eavesdrop, but the problem is that Nightmare Beasts never go to the toilet. So the movie theater is the most suitable place.

The location of the sneak attack and the location of the eavesdropping are very similar. Since he couldn't find it, the spider nightmare beast probably couldn't find it either. So the location it chose must not be an ordinary place.

Ignoring the various shop rooms, the only things that can be called "unusual" are the sky and the ground. Su Bei didn't know whether the other party was hiding underground, but there was a ready-made hiding place in the sky, which was above the chandelier.

If someone hides up there, the huge crystal chandelier can completely block the other person. If necessary, just jump down. For the Nightmare Beast, even if it jumps down from the fifth floor, it will not be a big deal. So this is indeed a relatively perfect place for a sneak attack.

Thinking of this, he quietly moved away from the location covered by the chandelier, then turned on his supernatural power and took a look at everyone's compass.

The little fingers of several people have moved to the right, such as Jiang Tianming, Si Zhaohua, Qi Huang, Ai Baozhu and Mu Tieren. Coincidentally, these people are just under the chandelier.

There is no doubt that his guess was right. The spider nightmare might really be hiding on the chandelier. Seeing this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and took two steps back. Jiang Tianming saw this scene. He did not raise his guard, but asked in confusion: "Su Bei, why are you stepping back?"

Su Bei pointed upwards, and couldn't help but smile gloatingly: "Someone is going to be in trouble."

"Who?" Jiang Tianming said as he looked up in the direction of his finger, and then saw a huge spider web falling from the sky.

The spider web fell very quickly and people had no time to avoid it. The five people in the area covered by the chandelier were caught in the web one after another.

Then a black spider nightmare fell from the sky and directly pressed down on Jiang Tianming and others.

Ai Baozhu was quick to act and activated her special power. As soon as [Gorgeous Domain] was turned on, a pink protective shield covered the people trapped in the spider web cage, protecting them temporarily.

Qi Huang also reacted quickly, with Phoenix Flame in his hand, approaching the spider web and trying to ignite the spider silk. It stands to reason that the flame and spider silk are completely restrained, and Qi Huang can easily lead everyone out of trouble. However, surprisingly, the spider silk was not ignited at all, as if it was non-flammable and could not be touched by the flame at all.

"Don't even think about it. My spider silk is impervious to water and fire." The Spider Nightmare said with some pride. While he was still using those spider legs that seemed to be made of steel bars to attack Ai Baozhu's territory.

Si Zhaohua was not to be outdone and tried to cut the spider silk with his sharp feathers. But obviously, he also failed. The spider silk was not only impervious to water and fire, but also impervious to knives and guns.

Even Qi Huang and Si Zhaohua, who were most likely to restrain the Spider Nightmare, were helpless, so naturally the remaining few people were also helpless. They could only rely on Ai Baozhu's ability to hold on for a while longer.

When they were helpless, the four people who were not covered by the spider web prepared to attack. Mo Xiaotian used the air block to cover the spider nightmare beast, trying to get it up. Lan Subing used the [Word Spirit] to make the spider web disappear.

While they were resisting, Jiang Tianming quickly explained their current situation: "We can't move. This spider web is sticky. Once it sticks to us, we can't move. We can still use our special abilities, but they seem to have weakened effects. The orb may not last long."

Hearing this, Ai Baozhu immediately said: "Yes, in this spider web, my mental energy consumption is greater than before. You guys hurry up-"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Be careful behind me!"

Fortunately, Wu Dali reacted in time and built an earth wall to help Lan Subing block the attack from behind.

Another high-level nightmare beast, it looked like a cockroach. But it was the size of a human head, and extremely disgusting. Behind this cockroach nightmare beast were countless black small cockroaches, which made people want to vomit.

Just now, a small cockroach nightmare beast jumped up and tried to attack Lan Subing.

"...Help..." Seeing so many nightmare-like cockroaches, Ai Baozhu's eyes widened and her face turned pale. She looked like she might faint at any moment. As a young lady, she was not afraid of insects, but she could not stand cockroaches and rats.

Not only her, Si Zhaohua's face was also livid. He also had a mysophobia and hated cockroaches the most. What's more important is that he was originally able to fly, but now he was firmly trapped in the spider web. If these cockroach nightmare beasts crawled onto him, Si Zhaohua would really want to die.

It would be a bad idea to let Jiang Tianming and his men be trapped and the main battlefield would be frozen here. Su Bei was still hoping to rely on the protagonist's perspective to put the highlight of his next work on the comic.

With a pinch of his fingers, a silver gear appeared at Su Bei's fingertips. He gently threw the gear toward the spider silk, and the next second, the silver gear bounced onto the spider nightmare beast first, and then bounced from it onto the spider silk.

Surprisingly, the moment the spider silk touched the gear, it disintegrated automatically!

The wooden iron man had quick eyes and quick hands when the gear bounced off. He quickly shook hands and grabbed the gear. After twisting it, he showed a strange expression: "It seems to be slippery with grease."

Hearing this, Jiang Tianming suddenly thought of something and immediately controlled a chair beside him to smash it hard at the spider nightmare beast. This attack was difficult to cause any damage to a high-level beast. The spider nightmare beast did not dodge and let him hit it.

However, before it could mock Jiang Tianming's ineffective attack, Jiang Tianming quickly smashed the chair that had come into contact with the spider nightmare into the spider web.

The moment the chair and the spider web came into contact, the spider web attached to the chair began to dissolve, creating a large hole directly for the people trapped inside.

After the experiment was successful, he came to the conclusion: "The Nightmare Beast has a substance that can dissolve spider silk."

"Does this mean there must be an antidote within five steps?" Lan Subing couldn't help but complain, looking at the spider nightmare beast with half sympathy and half schadenfreude. If she was ruined by the things on her body, she would definitely be furious.

Of course, you can't tell the emotion from the spider nightmare's face, but you can see that it is not looking at Jiang Tianming now, but at Su Bei, asking: "What are you doing?"

Is there a missing "了" in this sentence? Shouldn't it be "what did you do?" Lan Subing felt a little strange, but when she thought about the fact that it was a nightmare beast who said this, it wasn't that strange anymore. It was normal for a nightmare beast to not speak human language well. Even a high-level nightmare beast couldn't be exactly like a human.

"The show has just begun, how can I let it end so soon?" Su Bei shrugged and answered nonchalantly.

He knew what the other party was asking. The Spider Nightmare wanted to ask why he took action. He had clearly said that he would train Jiang Tianming and others, so why did he take action now to stop it from exerting its power?

In fact, Su Bei didn't want to take action, but if he let them stay deadlocked here, how could he fish in troubled waters? Only by letting everyone move, his goal would be more likely to be achieved.

After successfully saving everyone from danger, Su Bei retired. He looked at the group of cockroach nightmares that were approaching quickly because the spider nightmare plan had failed. He put his feet on the railing first, then used the force to step on the decorations next to it, and then climbed up a few steps holding the poster, and finally successfully reached the second floor.

Thanks to his supernatural powers, he has such a strong physique. In the past, even if he could climb walls and fly over rooftops, he would not be able to climb so high in one breath like in martial arts novels.

But even though Su Bei climbed so easily and casually, it was impossible for other students in the class to replicate it without relying on special powers.

"It looks like Qinggong. I'm always envious of Su Bei's skills every time I see them." Looking at his elegant back as he left, Ai Baozhu said with envy in her eyes, wishing she could take his place.

On the one hand, she really envied this kind of physical skill, and on the other hand, she really wanted to escape from this place full of cockroaches. Just now, Su Bei and Jiang Tianming had briefly attracted her attention by solving the spider web. Now that the matter was solved, she thought about her own situation and fainted again.

Qi Huang nodded in agreement: "It's really amazing, but it doesn't matter, he can do Qinggong, but I can fly! Come on, I'll take you up!"

On the other side, Su Bei left the second floor and went straight to the fifth floor cinema. The cockroach nightmare beast brought countless minions, and there were many of them even in the cinema. Although Su Bei was not sure what the relationship was between the small cockroaches and the big cockroaches, in order to prevent future troubles, he cleared all the cockroaches in the cinema first.

Thanks to the Compass of Destiny, if it weren't for the guidance, he really wouldn't be able to find all those cockroach nightmares.

I don’t know if the high-level cockroach nightmare beast got some information from the spider nightmare beast, but after Su Bei dealt with the low-level cockroach nightmare beasts in the cinema, no new nightmare beasts came in.

The empty shopping mall was not very soundproof, and Su Bei could hear the sounds of various chases, fights, and clashes of weapons coming from outside. Anyway, he was free now, so he opened his mental power and took a quick look at the fifth floor.

Apart from the two high-level nightmare beasts, there were no other high-level nightmare beasts in the shopping mall. This made Su Bei feel a little relieved, at least this incident should not go wrong.

After walking around for a while, someone finally approached the cinema. I checked with my mental power and found that it was Jiang Tianming and his group of three. They were the ones who had escaped.

Just now, cockroach nightmares were wreaking havoc on every floor, causing Ai Baozhu and Si Zhaohua, who had a germaphobia, to almost lose their ability to fight. They could only fly in the sky to provide some long-range support.

Si Zhaohua could use "Divine Judgment" to destroy a high-level nightmare beast, but doing so would easily attract more high-level nightmare beasts, which would then be troublesome.

Secondly, this was not the first time he had used this skill to destroy a high-level nightmare beast. Judging from the way the two high-level nightmare beasts dodged his attack, they should all be aware of this skill. There was no guarantee that they would not think of a way to dodge it when the time came.

After using this skill, Si Zhaohua would not faint as he did before, but he could hardly use any of his special abilities. If they were dodged, they would lose a combat force and have one more person to protect. This would only make things worse.

Unlike the two of them, Qi Huang played a big role. The spider nightmare beast was invulnerable to water and fire, but the cockroach nightmare beast did not have this ability, especially the little cockroaches it led. A big fire was lit, and the whole floor was filled with the aroma of roasted meat.

However, what was despairing was that the cockroach nightmare's little cockroaches seemed to have a strong reproductive ability. Not long after the little cockroaches were burned to death, more little cockroaches crawled out from under their corpses.

Everyone can see that it is the high-level nightmare beast that is providing them with energy, so if the high-level nightmare beast is not dealt with, these little cockroaches may continue to regenerate.

But that high-level cockroach was very powerful. It was incredibly fast and could fly. Not only could it fly, but it could also blend into the environment like a chameleon. This semi-invisibility effect undoubtedly caused great trouble to everyone, and they couldn't catch it at all.

Obtaining this information consumed a lot of everyone's mental energy, so much so that they now had to temporarily separate and escape. They needed to find a safe place to recover their mental energy and think about how to deal with the two high-level nightmare beasts.

It was worth it that Su Bei had been spending all his energy and keeping his luck on the left. He finally got the three protagonists he needed most. With these three, there was no need to worry about the author not drawing the next content in the comics.

"I don't know where Su Bei went." Lan Subing sighed, "He must know how to deal with that cockroach nightmare beast."

Wu Mingbai appears to be cheerful and sunny on the surface, but his words are full of sarcasm: "Our Su Bei is a master of escape. I can't even remember the last time he appeared on the battlefield."

Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Indeed, whenever something happened, Su Bei would always find a good opportunity to suddenly disappear. They had gotten used to it even if they didn't want to.

"Let's go to the cinema first to think of a solution. Maybe Su Bei is hiding here." Jiang Tianming said, and took the lead to walk towards the venue in front.

As he approached the cinema, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from inside. Jiang Tianming, who had been quite relaxed, suddenly became alert. He made a gesture to the two people behind him, and the three of them slowed down their pace and walked quietly inside.

The "people" inside didn't seem to notice their movements, and soon they could hear a conversation: "Actually, I think there's really no need to use your energy to open three doors to different dimensions at once just for a small piece of life stone."

"Who says it isn't? If things continue like this, we will completely wipe out the human race sooner or later," another female voice replied.

These two sentences successfully startled the three eavesdroppers. From the content of the conversation, it was clear that the person speaking was not a human being, but a high-level nightmare beast!

There are actually two high-level nightmare beasts in the shopping mall. Their current situation is too dangerous! You know, just the two just now have made them exhausted. If there are two more, they really can only try to delay time and wait for Wu Jin and Li Shu who are guarding outside to call for support in two hours.

Even if they tried to delay the battle, casualties would still be inevitable. The cooperation of four high-level nightmare beasts was simply not something that a few students could handle. If they divided and conquered, it might work, but the problem was that the entire shopping mall was now full of nightmare cockroaches. No matter which nightmare beast they fought, they would surely be besieged by other nightmare beasts soon.

The three of them had mixed feelings and frantically thought about what to do next.

However, the conversation between the two nightmare beasts made them not worry about this. The male nightmare beast agreed with his companion's words, and said in a relaxed tone: "There are only a few human mutants, but we nightmare beasts are endless. As long as we accumulate strength for a period of time, they will be defeated by us in an instant."

"It's a pity that this war will consume a lot of our combat power." The female voice sighed, but soon became energetic again, "But it doesn't matter. It's good to teach humans a lesson. Anyway, as long as they can't find a way to completely destroy us, we can definitely completely destroy them."

The male voice of Nightmare Beast sneered and said disdainfully: "How can they find it? Even if they really find it, they can't do it at all!"

What do you mean? Is there really a way to completely destroy the nightmare beast?

After hearing the last sentence, the three of them couldn't help but breathe heavily. You know, the infinite reproduction of nightmare beasts has always been a big problem for humans. After Jiang Tianming and the others knew the method of the birth of nightmare beasts, they were also very helpless.

Although they don't think the Nightmare Beasts can completely wipe out humans, they really can't think of a way for humans to completely wipe out the Nightmare Beasts. But from what the two Nightmare Beasts just said, it seems that there really is a way to completely wipe out the Nightmare Beasts!

The two nightmare beasts in the goggles didn't seem to want to continue talking, and Jiang Tianming and the other two suddenly became anxious. It's already the most critical moment, how can we stop abruptly? Even if this method really can't be done, at least let humans know and study it before giving up.

No, we have to find a way to keep them talking.

Then the next question is, how can they make the two high-level nightmare beasts tell the truth? If Lan Subing is stronger, [Word Spirit] can do it. But she is far from that strong now, and they can't rashly startle them.

Wu Mingbai rolled his eyes, exchanged a glance with his two friends, then cautiously took a few steps back. After exiting the cinema, he suddenly said in a cheerful voice: "Hey, I think this place is good. Why don't we hide in this cinema?"

Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing did not feel confused when they heard him say these words suddenly and inexplicably. Instead, they understood what he meant immediately with their excellent tacit understanding.

"That's fine, but we still need to check it out." Jiang Tianming nodded, also looking like he had just arrived.

Lan Subing said seriously: "We need to check carefully to see how many nightmare beasts are hiding in this place."

The three of them chatted briefly and then tacitly brought up the topic of destroying the nightmare beast. Wu Mingbai continued to say, "Don't be ridiculous. If there really was a way to completely destroy the nightmare beast, humans would have discovered it and destroyed it long ago."

"What if we can't destroy it even if we find it?" Jiang Tianming asked casually.

Wu Mingbai also replied with disdain: "How could there be something that humans cannot do? As long as there is a way, we can definitely do it."

After the two of them used the same provocation, Lan Subing pointed to the other side and said, "The orbs are waving at us. Let's go find them!"

After saying that, the three of them deliberately stomped their feet to simulate the posture of running, and they took the opportunity to hide in a corner where they would not be easily discovered but could hear what was happening inside the cinema.

Su Bei in the cinema couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that the three of them had some brains and lived up to his deliberate acting. Since they had already used all the provocations, he "had to" be fooled.

After a while, the male voice of Nightmare Beast sounded again: "Ha, those people who only see the world from a narrow perspective."

"If they knew that the way to completely destroy us is to clear out all the meteorite fragments in the Nightmare World, they probably wouldn't think they are omnipotent." The female Nightmare's voice was full of confidence, and it was obvious that she didn't think it was possible for them to do this.

It said without wasting any more time: "Okay, let's go. This place is enough for the two nightmare beasts."

"Don't you need to stay and help?" asked the male voice of Nightmare Beast.

The former refused decisively: "If they can't kill a few students together, then there's really no point in continuing to live and wasting resources."

Then two sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and the cinema returned to silence.

After waiting patiently for a while, the three of them came out from the corner. Their faces were very complicated, with surprise, excitement, confusion and solemnity.

"Where are the meteorite fragments they mentioned?" Jiang Tianming asked. He guessed what the meteorite here referred to, which should be the meteorite that fell from the sky that he saw in the black book before. It was the appearance of this meteorite that caused the nightmare beast and the mutant to appear together.

Lan Subing shook her head: "I don't know, we can go ask——"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Mingbai suddenly said with a serious expression: "I may know the answer to this question."
