Life Dungeon Game

However, He Ao did not sense the corruption and madness characteristic of angels from this enormous beast.

He stood there, sweat streaming down his face.

He remained motionless, intently watching the monster's movements.

This strange beast appears to have no head, or rather, its head is hidden somewhere that Heo cannot see, and it also has no visible mouthparts for eating.

While He Ao was pondering, the enormous beast adjusted its body, its two front feet stepping onto the flames that were closing in from both sides. With a sudden slide, it extinguished the flames, which were thousands of degrees hot, and created a firebreak several meters long.

At the same time, his two hind legs nimbly slid, keeping the flames behind him outside a firebreak.

He was positioned in the center of the fireless area, and there was a patch of ghost mushrooms next to him that had not yet been burned.

At that moment, the enormous beast moved, its body covering He Ao, its massive, mountain-like form obscuring the sky above He Ao's head.

Once the flames were completely isolated, the beast slowly raised its right front thigh, which was covered with exoskeleton.

As the leg lifted, He Ao noticed the flattened bat carcass on the ground. The once enormous bat had been reduced to a jumble of blood and gore, leaving only some bones that appeared to have been crushed into dust.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the giant beast's raised foot. On that round foot, there were countless mouths of all sizes.

These mouths were all open, revealing sharp, white, triangular teeth, some of which were stained with bright red blood, as if they had just had a hearty meal.

This monster's 'mouthparts' are located on its feet.

It feeds by 'stepping'.

A sudden realization flashed through He Ao's mind.

Just as he was staring at those mouthparts, the beast suddenly shifted its raised leg, pointing its blood-stained, fang-filled 'mouths' at He Ao's direction.

He Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked away.

He is still in stealth mode.

Judging from the fact that the beast has not attacked him, it has not yet discovered him.

However, when he looked at those sharp 'mouths,' the beast was able to react quickly, proving that those mouths were not necessarily just feeding mouthparts.

It may also possess some kind of sensory ability.

He's gaze moved very quickly, taking only a moment to look away.

The dense array of 'mouths' that had been detected suddenly lost its bearings, and its enormous feet moved around as if searching for the person secretly watching it.

He Ao was not far from the foot. As the huge foot moved, its sharp fangs almost touched He Ao's body, and a strong, nauseating stench wafted over.

Throughout the entire process, He Ao remained completely still. He held his breath, his chest no longer rising and falling, only the faint sound of his heartbeat echoing in the night.

At the same time, his muscles were tense, ready to fight back immediately if discovered and then take the opportunity to escape.

Finally, the enormous foot came to rest in front of Heo.

The mouthparts, filled with sharp teeth, opened and closed, chewing the bones stuck to them into tiny pieces, as if venting some kind of dissatisfaction.

The foot slowly retracted, stopping above the ghost mushroom that was slightly charred by the heat next to He Ao.

However, the foot did not land. The beast seemed to be considering whether to eat the ghost mushroom, and its movements froze on the spot.

At that moment, He Ao looked up at the lower surface of the giant mountain-shaped body.

The surface was covered in dirt and some fresh, broken grass, which suggests that the surface had most likely just been pressed against the ground.

He Ao roughly understood how the giant beast had hidden itself.

When it's not active, it probably folds up its four legs and finds a place among the mountains to disguise itself as a peak.

Among the soil, He Ao also found a relatively new piece of clothing stained with blood.

Those were the work clothes of the 'team' he had hitched a ride with before.

He Ao remained in the vehicle the entire time from when the convoy left the city until the attack, and the convoy did not encounter the strange beast at all during the entire journey.

It's highly likely that this clothing was found on one of the dead by chance when the beast passed by the site of the attack on the convoy. It seems that the beast was coming from its 'habitat' and would probably have to pass through the area where the convoy was attacked.

Moreover, it is highly likely that its 'habitat' is near the location where the convoy was attacked, which is not far from the area of ​​the Ghost Mushroom. This also explains why such a powerful alien beast was attracted to the Ghost Mushroom.

Because the distance is close enough.

However, it is clear that the attraction of the ghost mushroom did not have a significant effect on this beast. Perhaps, in the beast's mind, it was simply a matter of 'delicious'.

The actions were driven by the mind of this B-rank alien beast itself, unlike other C-rank alien beasts which were completely controlled by the Ghost Mushroom.

At this moment, the beast's foot was hovering above the ghost mushroom, and it seemed to have some doubts about this 'delicious' thing.

He Ao didn't know if the Ghost Mushroom could corrode the body of a B-level alien beast, but such a huge body, once completely corroded, would probably release an even more terrifying number of Ghost Mushrooms.

He Ao didn't want to gamble on that probability.

He took a deep breath and activated his hyper-memory.

The enormous beast hesitated for a moment, then slowly withdrew its foot, abandoning its attempt to eat what looked like a 'delicious' meal.

Then, instead of turning around, it slowly walked backwards into the deep jungle in the night.

It seems to have no front, or rather, every side is a front.

He watched as the enormous body gradually disappeared into the night.

This strange beast moved very fast, but its body was so huge that even when it walked into the mountains, He Ao could still vaguely see its shadow.

Once he was certain the alien beast had truly gone far away, He Ao deactivated his super memory and stealth abilities.

His body instantly lost all support and fell face down onto the muddy ground.

At the last moment, he used his last bit of strength to raise his hand and cover his face.

With a muffled thud, his body crashed to the ground.

A night breeze swept across the silent fields, and the golden, crispy ghost mushrooms beside me emitted a strange, refreshing fragrance.

That period was the most dangerous time. That B-level alien beast was not only powerful but also very perceptive. He Ao didn't know if the beast would notice that he had changed its decision.

'Is's' ability is not invincible. When Ilya used it against Heo, Heo noticed its ability to change choices.

If the beast realizes that its decision has been altered, He'ao believes it would be more than willing to return and crush the 'guy' who changed its decision into mincemeat.

Therefore, He Ao must activate his hypermemory and stealth abilities and remain extremely vigilant.

Fortunately, the beast didn't notice anything. A change of choice is not easy to be detected, and the 'Easy Thought' ability that He'ao acquired seemed to be much stronger than the effect that Ilyaan achieved using the Mind Stone.

At least when He Ao obtained the Mind Stone, the information it transmitted did not include the ability to change the B-level choice.

The scorching heat was slowly receding, leaving only the night breeze to dissipate the heat from the ground.

The flames in the distance seemed to be gradually disappearing, and the ghost mushrooms that covered the mountains and fields were now just silent, charred black.

As the glow of the flames gradually faded, He Ao, having regained some strength, sat up from the ground. He patted the dust off his hands and took out a mithril test tube from his pocket, in which a dark green liquid was flowing.

Talent Sequence 115: Nightcrawler

The Nightstalker's ritual is to 'undetected, evade at least one C-rank life form, and inflict some damage upon it.'

Based on He Ao's past experience, the higher the level of life involved in the ritual, the better the effect of the ritual.

He pulled out the cork, poured the liquid inside into his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.

This time, he managed to deceive the five C-level alien beasts and kill them all.

In addition, he also managed to deceive an extremely powerful B-level alien beast, but it's unclear whether changing his choice counts as causing harm.

As the green liquid entered his mouth, He Ao felt a strong, corrosive pain surge from his mouth and throat, as if he had drunk a bottle of sulfuric acid.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force erupted within his body.

Having already been promoted to C-level multiple times, He Ao was already used to this effect. He quickly guided the energy in his body to flow along the pathways of martial arts.

With the changes in energy layers within the body, He

Ou also noticed that his physical strength was rapidly recovering.

He digested the secret medicine very quickly, and in a very short time, he fully advanced to Rank C.

As the last drop of energy entered his brain, He Ao felt his whole body relax.

He stretched lightly, and then vanished instantly, completely disappearing into the dark night.

Then, in an instant, he appeared in an area two meters away.

This is the Nightstalker's ability, 'Nightwalking'.

Nightwalkers can blend their bodies into the shadows or the night.

Once blended into the darkness or shadows, the Night Stalker can move within the darkness or shadows.

Throughout the process, the Nightcrawler blends into the darkness/shadow, entering a state of near-invisibility. This invisibility is highly concealed, making it almost impossible to detect unless the Nightcrawler encounters someone with special abilities. It's essentially an upgraded version of stealth.

However, night travel has environmental limitations; it can only be used in places with shadows and darkness. In places without shadows, you still have to stick to D-level stealth.

In addition to this, night travel has another extremely powerful ability: it can achieve a kind of 'teleportation' effect in the dark.

This teleportation can ignore architectural obstacles; as long as two places can be connected by shadows, one can instantly pass through them at night.

For example, if a door blocks the way, but a shadow passes through the crack in the door, then Heo can appear directly behind the door by using the shadow passing through the crack.

The 'shadow' that ambushed He Ao earlier must have entered his house in the same way, but unfortunately he was too confident and didn't have a chance to use Night Walk in the battle before He Ao found him and killed him.

Wherever the shadows can reach, the night stalker can reach.

However, this ability also has limitations. First, it is completely closed off and cannot pass through places where there is no formed shadow, so it cannot completely ignore obstacles and flash through.

Secondly, it can only travel a distance of up to two meters, and its use will put a huge strain on the body. Continuous use may even lead to death, making it essentially a life-threatening skill.

Of course, even simply being invisible at night will put a strain on the body, but the strain will be much less.

At the same time, after being promoted to C-level, He Ao also heard that familiar, hazy murmur.

However, the babbling heard by the Nightcrawler was different from that of the Warrior, the Hunter, and the Hypermemory.

The murmurs heard by the 'warrior' and the 'hunter' are the same; they are 'confessions' with a certain subjective allure, as if they are trying to tell a story.

The babbling of 'hypermeability' is just background noise without any direction. As He Ao advanced to C-level, the background noise became even stronger.

The 'Nightcrawler' is madness, chaotic madness; his babbling seems to be that of a madman from the abyss, telling illogical stories.

Resisting this kind of rambling is slightly more difficult than the two types of rambling He Ao encountered before, and its effects on superhumans will be stronger.

After so long, He Ao has roughly figured out the patterns of extraordinary abilities in this world.
