Chapter 43
“Who is it?!”
Suddenly, the member of the He'an Guild who was staring at the door turned around and looked around vigilantly.
He is a C-rank hunter, his five senses are much better than those of ordinary people, and he was specially arranged by the guild leader to guard this door.
But just at that moment, he clearly felt that there was someone around him, who seemed to be looking at him with a strange look, and even made him feel like a little white mouse locked in a glass cabinet.
But now, he couldn't find the person hiding in the dark at all. There was obviously no place to hide anyone on the first floor of Yuansheng!
Just when he was wondering if his perception was wrong, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps, getting closer and closer, and it came from behind him!
The man was startled and was about to turn around and retreat, but suddenly he felt a little heat on his head, and at the same time, he smelled a slight smell of something burning.
man:"……?"
man:"?!!"
Wait, his hair is on fire? !
The fact that there was fire on his head made him panic for a moment, but he found that the flames only burned his hair. When he came to his senses and looked in the direction of the portal, he could only catch a corner of his windbreaker.
The man dully dialed the number of the guild leader:
"President...someone just entered the portal..."
"What?!" The voice on the other side suddenly became louder: "Is he from the Hunter Association or one of those big guilds? What does he look like?"
The man looked at his shiny bald head in the reflection of the glass with tears in his eyes: "I don't know! I can't see him at all, and he even burned my hair with fire!"
President: “???”
*
At this moment, Su Xingyuan has already entered the portal.
As the space changes, the black long windbreaker moves without wind.
Looking at the rising hem of his windbreaker, Su Xingyuan sighed.
The player is in such a state that he only has a black windbreaker left that is wearable.
However, he actually didn't intend to throw away the black robe that was almost soaked with blood. Sometimes scaring ignorant NPCs can be very effective.
The space conversion is completed, the player lands smoothly, and immediately begins to observe the surroundings.
This place was different from any dungeon he had been to before.
The moon was high in the sky, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and apart from that there were no buildings or living things. It looked extremely desolate, not to mention the shadow of a hunter.
Su Xingyuan glanced around and opened the small map.
The map shows that there are a large number of red dots gathered in the front, and there are a small number of green dots among the red dots. They seem to be those unlucky hunters.
Just from this speechless scene of red and green, Su Xingyuan could guess that this group of hunters were abducted to the monster's lair.
But there was nothing in front of him. With Su Xingyuan's current eyesight, there was no reason why he couldn't see clearly even at night.
Su Xingyuan walked straight forward, but his feet landed on the ground without making any sound.
Soon, he overlapped with the red dots.
The minimap will not deceive him, but it also has a weakness, which is that it can only be displayed in a flat state.
Therefore, if the position of Suxingyuan has overlapped with the red dot, but the enemy is still not visible, it can only mean one thing -
The enemies that were lurking in the crowd were now all under his feet.
Under the moonlight, the black-haired boy smiled, revealing a small canine tooth. Then he pulled his arm suddenly, clenched his right fist, and in the next moment, he smashed it straight to the ground at a speed so fast that people could not react!
"boom!!"
Due to the terrifying speed and power, after a brief pause, a wave of air suddenly spread out with his right fist as the center, and spread over all the grass and trees in an instant like a sickle.
Spider-web-like cracks appeared under his fist, and Su Xingyuan did not expect to be able to smash through the ground with one punch. All he did was to lure the monster out.
Since they can’t find the underground entrance, can’t they just let them come up by themselves and take him down?
Anyway, when players enter the dungeon, they mainly sweep——
Oh, no, if those hunters hadn't become red names, he would still be happy to rescue them. After all, Ning Baiquan asked him for help mainly to save the lives of these high-level hunters.
Su Xingyuan thought about it and decided to use a more fun method to attack.
So when the rustling sound was heard and the monster in the dungeon came behind him, the black-haired boy directly turned on [Shock].
The pale moonlight was pouring down, and he, dressed in a pitch-black windbreaker, was staring at the rapidly approaching, completely frozen bones in front of him, and he slowly revealed a faint smile.
However, those green eyes were glowing with a frightening, bright silver light, even covering up his original pupil color.
The dry bones were trembling, they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the existence in front of them. Even the green flames in their skulls were shaking constantly, as if they were blown by a strong wind and were almost extinguished.
At this moment, no other monster could understand the feeling when one of the most common and lowest-level races in hell suddenly discovered one day that the prey they wanted to capture was the supreme ruler of hell.
I wish I could die on the spot, which would be the least of my worries.
——It really is a race that once lived in hell.
Su Xingyuan narrowed his eyes.
"Aren't you going to take me, your guest, to visit your lair?"
The leading skeleton had the brightest fire among the group of skeleton soldiers, and was also the most intelligent. He could understand a little bit of human language. He nodded immediately after hearing the words, and crawled quickly in a certain direction on the ground as if he had been pardoned.
Then it realized what was behind it, stopped crawling stiffly in an instant, stood up quickly, and led Su Xingyuan tremblingly into the weeds.
Soon, Su Xingyuan saw a bottomless cave buried under layers of weeds.
…
Yu Ying didn't know how long it had been, but according to his feeling, he had been trapped here for three whole days, and every minute and every second was extreme torture for him.
He had no water to drink and no food to eat. His entire body was embedded in the wall with only his face exposed.
At the beginning, he would still struggle and call for help to check on his companions, but as time passed, the pressure of staying in this dark cave with the undead skeletons made him lose control of his perception of time and he also lost the strength to struggle.
However, this was not what made him most desperate.
What really horrified him was that he discovered that the skeletons didn't kill them or eat them, but kept them in their nests, most likely for...
Sacrifice.
There were twelve hunters in total, fixed in a circle in the pile of bones. The magic power in their bodies was constantly extracted and transferred into the dark red coffin in the center.
And under the coffin, the bones were piled up to form a huge, ominous magic circle!
Yu Ying believed that when the final moment came, in addition to magic power, even their lives would become nourishment for this monster that was about to awaken.
And no one from the outside world will come to rescue them.
Yu Ying was very clear about the character of his own president. I'm afraid that in the president's view, since none of the hunters who entered the portal died, there is still a chance of a comeback. In this case, why should he give the opportunity to others?
But the fact is, if no one comes, and they are all sacrificed and the monster in the coffin is truly hatched, then this portal will no longer be an A-level matter!
I'm afraid that once it appears, it will become an S-level portal that will require us to enter an emergency state of preparedness, summon all S-level hunters and resources, and make all-out efforts to capture it!
He once saw the S-class portal of the country across the sea collapse.
Countless monsters poured out from the portal, almost covering the sky and the sun. Ordinary people living in the city could not withstand such a blow.
The hunters, who did not have a good output environment, were outnumbered and timid, and were completely unable to cope with such a large number of monsters that were spreading everywhere!
It was a scene like hell on earth, and the country suffered heavy losses. In the past few years, there have been several S-level portal collapse incidents around the world, and each time it can be described as a natural disaster.
So, it was all over, his family was in Central City, and he was going to be one of the culprits for the A-class portal hatching into an S-class...
Just as Yu Ying was desperately fantasizing about the dark future, he suddenly noticed footsteps coming from the passage next to him.
In such endless silence, almost every movement would be captured by him and bring some stimulation to his numb brain.
Yu Ying quickly raised his eyes and noticed that several of his companions had also opened their eyes and were looking in the direction where the footsteps came from.
The ones who entered here were a team of skeleton soldiers who rarely appeared again after they were captured.
When they still had strength to spare, the captain had speculated that this was an inviolable holy place for them.
So...is the sacrifice about to begin?
Before Yu Ying felt sad about being a drag on humanity, he saw a different expression suddenly appear on the face of the captain who was trapped on the opposite side, like astonishment and confusion. In short, it was completely different from the numbness of the past few days.
——The group of skeleton soldiers didn't even look at them. After entering here, they lined up at a terrifying speed, guarding both sides of the passage and in front of them, as if they were welcoming the king's arrival.
Yu Yingren was at a loss. The swarms of undead skeletons were already difficult enough to deal with, and there wouldn't be another big one, would it?
Since he was going to die soon anyway, he simply stretched his neck to see if the upcoming big guy would be a bigger skeleton.
However, the facts were destined to disappoint him.
Because the person who walked in under the skeletons' respectful and even fearful greeting was a living person.
one person.
…
people? ! !
Yu Ying blinked desperately, trying to open the picture in front of him in a normal way, but he was frightened to death.
How come a person came in?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible. Could it be that the skeleton monster has evolved into flesh and blood? Wouldn't it be even more terrifying if they ran out of the door? !
The skeleton in the front was wearing a small tattered cape and looked to be of high rank. He could even speak. However, in front of the black-haired boy, he could only lower his body in fear and said:
"Please forgive our poor hospitality, sir. Once our elders are awakened, we can open the channel in the opposite direction and bring back countless fresh humans for you..."
The boy in a clean black windbreaker ignored it.
He looked around the cave used for sacrifice, and his face was exposed to the sight of all the "sacrifices".
Yu Ying felt even sadder when he saw his appearance. How could a skeleton turn into a human and look so good?
But his temperament remained unchanged. Those dark green eyes showed that he was not a good person, and he matched well with the hellish creature like the skeleton.
However, as if the bad guy had heard his inner complaints, his gaze suddenly fell on him with incredible precision, instantly giving him goose bumps on his numb body.
Then, the black-haired boy who was "obviously not a good guy" curved his eyes, forced out a gentle and harmless smile, and spoke cheerfully:
"I haven't eaten humans alive recently. I see this friend has a strong physique, so his meat must be very tough..."
He snapped his fingers lightly, and the next moment, a cluster of dark blue flames appeared on his hand, while the rest of the blue flames surrounded him, making the black-haired boy's green eyes reflect a cold blue.
He asked Yu Ying's opinion in a sunny tone: "What do you think of barbecue?"
Yu Ying: “…” He didn’t think it was that good at all! !
