Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 62: The Corrupted Bell Ringer

Li Nanke lay back silently among the corpses, holding his breath and concentrating on disguising himself as a corpse without making any sound.

Before the huge monster came close, the dim light cast by the setting sun at the end of the canyon had already stretched the monster's shadow and brought it closer.

As the ground tremors became more distinct, many scavenger birds that had rested on the corpses became frightened and began to flap their wings and circle in the sky, emitting mournful cries.

What kind of monster was that? A humanoid monster of huge size, with a distorted face, tattered robes on the upper body, exposed limbs with knotted muscles, and a huge bell wrapped in blood-red thorns on its shoulder.

The grace of suffering descended upon the church believers in an extremely terrifying manner, causing the originally fanatical bell-ringers to transform into this form.

As the monster named "Carrion Bell Ringer" moved forward, it pulled a corpse from the pile of corpses on both sides, opened its big mouth, and tore off a leg along with the metal shin guard.

The metal armor made a teeth-grinding squeezing sound, shattered in the big mouth, blood and flesh spurted out, and bones cracked with a crisp sound.

The monster chewed the rotten flesh all the way until it had eaten the entire corpse by the time it passed by.

It spat out the metal residue of the armor and stretched out its big hand again.

The hand, which was half the size of a person, just happened to grab Li Nanke!
Li Nanke's hair stood on end, his eyes became fierce, and he was about to take action...

But he saw that a corpse beside him had been lifted upside down and put into the big mouth full of fangs.

The monster paid no attention to his presence, wandering along the road while eating and devouring flesh and blood.

At the same time, a synchronous prompt sound sounded.

[Key Node 1: Go to the Licker Relief Association in Soros Village.]

According to Edward's memory, Soros Village was located not far from the Canyon Battlefield. The Licker Relief Society was also a sect that believed in the grace of the God of Pain, but its doctrine was mainly to provide relief by enduring pain oneself to heal the wounds of others.

The Licker Relief Society is a neutral, friendly, and compassionate sect, and is not within the scope of heresy ruled by the Holy Congregation of Penitence...

However, the 'Corrosive Bell Ringer' is obviously not the target of the first critical node because of its excessive strength. It can be avoided by lying quietly and pretending to be dead.

Li Nanke slowly sat up, looking at the huge back of the monster gradually moving away, and a 'Linear Laser Cannon' appeared in his hand.

As his finger pressed the trigger, all the electricity from the high-energy battery bank flowed into the gun, and was converted into light energy in the high-power laser. The thick gun barrel began to gradually heat up, and dazzling white light surged and gathered...

The linear laser cannon emitted a slight humming sound, and as the energy charging indicator lights lit up one by one, the humming sound became increasingly shrill, and the light gathered at the muzzle became extremely dazzling.

The sound of the monster stomping on the ground suddenly stopped, and the sound of chewing the flesh and corpses also stopped instantly, leaving only the chirping of birds circling above the canyon.

Suddenly, the Carrion Bell Ringer turned around and saw the short heretic standing on the pile of corpses.

The shadows cast by the setting sun were all dispelled by the dazzling white light. Just as it turned around, Li Nanke smiled coldly and released the trigger...

A surging beam of light exploded!

The violent light energy condensed into a thick beam of death light, which instantly crossed the long distance and hit the huge monster.

The high-temperature laser burned the body, melting the flesh and blood, and the skin and flesh burst open with a sizzling sound.

The monster's shrill roar echoed throughout the canyon, and before the laser completely pierced through its chest, a huge bell appeared in front of it.

The laser made the giant bell red and hot. When it was about to melt through the bell, two big hands pressed on the thorns wrapped around the bell.

The severe pain from the thorns piercing its flesh not only did not injure or weaken the monster, but made it even crazier. It ran forward with a big bell and a laser beam on its head.

I don’t know if it was Li Nanke’s illusion, but the thorns that pierced into the flesh and blood not only made the monster more crazy and powerful, but also made the giant bell more solid and thick, so that even the laser cannon that could melt metal armor could not quickly penetrate the giant bell.

The pillar of destructive light went out, and the monster rushed over at an extremely fast speed, like a huge, heavily loaded chariot.

"Fuck, you're so cruel when you first enter the dream!"

Looking at the bloody and smelly wound on the monster's chest, the beating heart was faintly visible. Li Nanke flipped his wrist and the cannon disappeared.

He jumped down from the pile of corpses, turned around and ran away.

The monster behind me was stomping on the ground with a rumbling sound, and the terrifying footsteps were getting closer and closer...

Li Nanke's eyes flickered, and the armor on his body suddenly changed, turning into a 'powered protective armor' that shone with a cold luster and covered his entire body.

The body surface is wrapped in soft and tough nanofibers, and the outside is indestructible alloy protective armor.

The armor not only has excellent protective capabilities, but also has a powerful power support system!
His whole body has the extra support of the power system. Every step Li Nanke takes with the power of his thighs can greatly increase his running speed.

The huge monster that had been chasing him was actually gradually being left behind by him.

Suddenly, Li Nanke's hair stood up and he kicked the ground without thinking.

"Boom!"

A giant bell was thrown from afar and fell from the sky, smashing into the ground with great force, sending out impact waves that swept across the entire canyon, with the deafening sound of the bell echoing for a long time.

Li Nanke dodged in time and was not hit by the giant bell. The impact sound waves swept through, and its shock waves were all absorbed by the power armor and had no effect on him.

His eyes turned cold, and instead of continuing to flee, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the huge monster that had lost its weapon!

As he ran, a double-barreled gun appeared in his hand, and a cluster of blast waves burst out instantly, causing the monster that was about to raise its palm to slap to pause slightly.

Li Nanke stomped his feet hard, and with the support of the power system, he jumped high.

The high-speed rotating sawtooth screamed and roared, and the small propulsion device on the back of the power armor erupted with azure flames!
Gathering all his strength, he stabbed the chainsaw sword fiercely into the monster's chest, piercing into the bloody and burnt wound. The saw teeth tore the beating heart apart, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.

Li Nanke swung his sword violently, and the huge heart turned into a ball of rotten meat.

He raised his foot and kicked the monster in the chest, using the force to kick back and jump away.

The huge body of the 'Corrupt Bell Ringer' fell to the ground with a loud bang, twitched a few times, and blood flowed all over the ground, and gradually there was no movement.

As the monster died, a large amount of source energy poured into its body.

Li Nanke's mind moved, and the source energy was injected into the main substance "Blood Moon".

[Main Element: Blood Moon]

[Level: Level 0 (88%) → Level 1 (79%)]

As the level of the main substance 'Blood Moon' increased, he clearly felt that his physical strength had increased again.

Although Li Nanke did not spend much time practicing meditation every day, he persisted for a week, and the main blood moon only increased by 5%.

This speed of promotion is far slower than killing monsters in dreams.

Now that I have killed a powerful monster, the Blood Moon has almost reached a full level.

After the monster died, he felt something in his heart and looked at the huge bell embedded in the ground.

The bloody thorns wrapped around it kept shrinking, and finally turned into a bramble about the thickness of a finger and the length of an arm.

The thorns of the bramble are sharp, with a faint blood-red luster.

Li Nanke raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that this should be the profit he got by taking risks.
