The red moon returns

Chapter 139 Attack in the Dark

With a suppressed exclamation, Miss Valente was pinned to the ground by Lynch. While rolling, the two of them saw the location where the muffled sound came from behind. There was nothing there, just as dark as the surrounding area.

But the thud and impact don't deceive.

Lin Qi let go of the noble lady in his arms. The two of them ignored the embarrassment and looked at each other in shock. They each took two steps back and quickly left their positions, moving quickly while trying to observe carefully.

The darkness was thick, and the light beam of the Torch of Light barely illuminated the ground through the darkness. The two of them were right, there was indeed nothing on the ground. Then they raised the light beam upwards, and the second floor above was the same as the lower floor I had just jumped off. , the light beam barely penetrated the darkness and could not see any foreign objects.

Damn it, what kind of monster is hiding in the dark?

Fear often comes from the unknown. The more invisible it is, the more nervous the two people feel.

There was definitely something there, and something hostile, but there was just nothing to see in the darkness. It must be pulled out, otherwise no one knows whether it will attack, and you may not be so lucky next time.

"You cover me, Mr. Leviv."

Miss Valente, who was opposite, waved the light beam. Seeing that Lynch also waved his 'flashlight' in response, she moved her steps cautiously and approached the dark location.

That's right, another way of sensing might work. Lynch nodded. He wanted to take out his gun to cover, but after thinking about it, he still held the cane and leaned over. He followed closely beside Miss Valente, ready to hit her with a stick at any time. Down.

But what to smash? There is indeed nothing.

As Miss Valente approached step by step, Lynch swung the light beam in front of her repeatedly, but nothing changed. The light beam barely penetrated the darkness and shone on...

Ok?

Why can it barely penetrate the darkness? Why is there always a hazy feeling behind the darkness?

No, there is nothing there, there is darkness itself.

When he realized this, Lynch only felt an instinctive fear. Based on experience, he already knew that this was the physiological reaction when understanding mysterious aliens for the first time, but he still felt a chill in his heart, like a light on his back.

"Watch the ground."

Restraining his instinct, Lynch only had time to roar, and at the same time, he waved his cane and slammed it into the dense darkness.

There was a muffled sound, and it felt like hitting a rubber tire. A powerful shock force far beyond my own arm strength came from the cane. Because he held the cane tightly, his whole body was shaken off the ground by the force, he slid back a few steps and hit the stone pillar hard.

Miss Valente was stunned when she heard the sound. Although she didn't understand what she was being careful about, she stopped in her tracks. Then she saw the whole process of the trapeze. Although her brain didn't have time to react, her body had already responded.

A ball of flame lit up at the top of the folding fan, and with a roar, large pieces of shotgun sprayed out of the muzzle and disappeared into the darkness in front of her. The darkness paused as if it had an entity, and then enveloped her again.

The light shield reappeared, and the eggshell-like shield popped out of her body, glowing with light and colliding with the darkness in front of her.

A wave of air struck, and even Lynch in the distance could detect it. Miss Valente staggered back a few steps under the impact, and barely managed to avoid falling because of Lynch's timely reaching out to support her.

"Oh, here's Fiona, she's the invisible child."

Lynch's wrist trembled. He heard this name when he listened to the professor's anecdotes during the archeology course. It is said that it occasionally appears in ancient ruins and is a very troublesome strange creature. Without thinking too much, Miss Valente pulled his arm, and the two of them took two steps back. At this time, Lynch finally saw the appearance of his enemy clearly.

It was a ball of translucent black material like an ooze monster. The huge ball was slowly squirming. It was large enough to wrap several people, and it was taller than a person when it was propped up. This thing was so dark that it was impossible to tell if it was hidden in the darkness. It was even more difficult to detect, especially since it seemed to have fallen from above the head just now.

Wait, the top of your head?

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, exchanged a look, quickly changed their positions again, and raised the light beam upward at the same time. Sure enough, there was another one visible in the upper range, just above the two of them, and it was almost about to pounce down. .

"You can't fight hard, Mr. Leviv. They are extremely powerful. Once swallowed, they will be crushed like those mummies. Also, note that they are immune to physical attacks."

Miss Valente looked up to see that there were no enemies above her. She stopped and opened the folding fan, popped out the cartridge case, took out two more red bullets and was about to stuff them in:

"Use attacks with additional effects, such as fire."

"Stop, it's best not to use flames." Seeing the noble lady's actions, Lynch grabbed her hand, "Set fire will only make our life here shorter, we can't breathe."

"Then use acid."

Miss Valente didn't find it difficult at all. She magically replaced two green shelled shotguns and stuffed them into the folding fan. She pulled the front half of the folding fan with her left hand, and the fan made a clicking sound of pulling the bolt. Her movements were as skillful as in a movie. Those experienced soldiers inside.

"Take these two. It's a pity that I didn't bring the acid bullets for the pistol. I'll bring them for you next time." Lynch was a little stunned and subconsciously took the two brown glass bottles handed over by the noble lady. It's tightly sealed and contains more than half a bottle of liquid. What is this?

"For strong acid, just hit it directly. I loaded a dozen of them before when I saw that I still had some space, but I didn't expect that I actually used them."

Hey, girl, why do you have everything? Do you want to use various props to kill all the monsters along the way? And one belt and one dozen, forget it, you have the ability to make money, you are great.

"Then save your bullets and I'll do it."

Lin Qi put away one bottle tangledly, unscrewed the other bottle, and rushed towards the squirming Invisible Son.

This thing is not fast. It is just because of its huge size that its relative speed exceeds that of ordinary humans. However, its small-scale dodging and maneuvering is still far inferior to Lin Qi, who has been blessed by the cat god. Lin Qi rushes over and takes advantage of the ooze-like darkness to face him. It suddenly turned sharply after being shrouded, and the open bottle hit the monster hard.

Following the bottle, it disappeared silently into the darkness, as if it had been swallowed by a swamp.

Ok?

Lynch was stunned for a moment, and his steps stopped subconsciously, and then Miss Valente's anxious reminder sounded behind him.

"The top of the head."

Oops, careless.

Lin Qi's heart sank, and he felt a strong wind falling from the sky and hitting his head. He almost used all his strength to try to move back to avoid the attack above his head, but the wind had already reached his head and he had no time to dodge.

Lynch gritted his teeth, and at the last moment he held the bottle of acid that he had put away. When it was swallowed, he fed it a bottle of acid. This was the last resort to survive. But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared out of thin air between him and Miss Valente, and then a huge force came from the beam and pulled him over.

[Power, protection, ability, protective grasp. 】

Bang, another invisible child almost hit Lynch's head, setting off a wave of air on the ground, but Lynch had been pulled by the beam and flew backwards, staggering to land on Miss Valente, whose face turned pale with shock. Beside him, he sat down with a thud.

Just as Miss Valente was about to reach out and pull him up, she saw his expression change again. He jumped up suddenly and pulled Miss Valente back. At the same time, the third invisible child was coming from Miss Valente's body. The top was empty.

It was really dangerous. The two of them looked at each other in shock, and both could see the uneasiness in the other's heart.

There was a sudden sound of glass breaking in the body of the invisible son who swallowed the acid bottle, and then a large amount of pan-acidic smoke emitted from the body, which quickly melted like a leech dipped in salt, and finally turned into a mass of darkness and stuck to the ground, and the new The two that appeared were not affected by the death of the same kind at all, and squirmed towards the two of them very persistently.

How many more are there? It’s not okay to have more and more.

"We are here to destroy the evil god's clone, not to clean up the city. We cannot be reluctant to fight. We must find the target as soon as possible."

"Okay, the evil god's clone should be hiding in their temple of death, but I don't know what it is or where it is."

"I know. I've been to the one in the Mayan Dream. It should be the same as here. The temple has a green light."

Lynch pulled Miss Valente's hand, and the two of them shot one above the head and the other in front, bypassing the two invisible sons, quickly ran out of the building surrounded by stone pillars, and rushed into the ancient city.

It was indeed the same city as in the dream, except there were no ghouls roaming the streets.

At the end of the field of vision, in a distant place, a green light beam emitted a strange shimmer.

As expected, joy appeared on both of their faces. The goal was so obvious, and it was obviously the best news.

However, Lynch still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Is it too obvious?

As soon as the uneasiness arose, rustling sounds came from the surrounding darkness, which was the sound of the invisible child squirming against the ground.

There are them in several directions, and God knows how many are hiding in the darkness.

The pursuers have arrived, and the target is so obvious that there is no room for overthinking.

The two looked at each other and nodded. One held the acid, the other held the shotgun, and turned towards the direction of the light beam.
