Life Dungeon Game

A huge shadow is rapidly emerging.

It looked like a giant fish floating on the sea, approaching the land at a terrifying speed.

The tavern where He Ao was located was built along the coast. Sitting in this spot, he could even clearly hear the sound of the sea lapping against the sand below.

Not many people noticed the shadow because it was so fast, and under the cover of night, it reached people almost in the blink of an eye.

A huge shadow obscured the moon and stars, and wet seawater dripped onto the open-air wooden floor.

Only now did people see the true appearance of this 'big fish'.

It was a 'monster' that was over ten meters tall and covered in water. It had a human-like head and upper body, but its hands and feet were wriggling tentacles like those of an octopus.

It stands where the sea meets the beach, looking down at the people sitting in the tavern.

A hoarse voice came from its mouth, "Chaos... Slaughter... Revenge..."

"what!!!"

A piercing scream rang out from the crowd.

"Monster!"

The person, who had been dazed from drinking, seemed to instantly sober up and scrambled towards the tavern.

The open-air platform in front of us is behind the tavern. To leave, we have to go through the tavern's main hall and exit through the front door.

"Please do not crowd! Keep order! Be careful of stampedes!"

A girl dressed as a bunny girl, carrying a tray, was also mixed in with the crowd and pushed into the tavern.

Amidst the commotion, the girl suddenly noticed a figure sitting in the outermost seat who hadn't moved at all, remaining in the same spot and quietly drinking his beverage.

She hesitated for a moment, then squeezed through the crowd and rushed against the flow of people to the guest sitting on the side. "Sir, don't stop here, let's go!"

She reached out to grab the guest, but a shadow was faster than her.

The slender tentacles sliced ​​through the night sky and reached her in an instant, intending to wrap her entire body around and tear her apart while suspended in mid-air.

Her body froze for a moment, and in that very short time, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Death is so close, it only takes a moment.

However, the death she expected did not come. Before the strong and terrifying tentacles could reach her body, they seemed to be sliced ​​by something invisible, instantly shattering into countless fragments in mid-air and scattering everywhere.

He Ao put down his wine glass, sheathed his Shadowless Sword, and looked at the girl in front of him with some confusion.

The girl's movements were incredibly fast, far exceeding those of ordinary people; she must be a superhuman.

If he remembered correctly, all the superhumans in the Matt Islands should have been recruited by the research institute, so this person should also be a staff member of the research institute.

However, he didn't pay much attention to the girl in front of him. After dealing with the tentacles reaching towards the bunny girl, he focused his attention back on the huge monster.

This monster is very strong. Although it hasn't reached Rank B, it has already reached the peak of Rank C. It would be a very troublesome enemy anywhere.

This monster gave He Ao a feeling similar to that of West, as if...

They have all received some kind of blessing from 'chaos'.

However, what puzzled He Ao was that the energy within this monster was extremely chaotic, like a product forcibly shaped by some kind of twisted force.

Having failed in its first attack, the monster glared at He Ao, its eyes wide, and roared in a hoarse voice, "Chaotic enemy, revenge!!! Revenge!!!"

Countless tentacles obscured the starry sky and moonlight, sweeping towards Heo in an overwhelming manner.

The girl who had just escaped death and was standing behind He Ao finally recovered from the shock and terror of facing death. She looked at the dense, curtain-like waves of tentacles, suppressed her trembling, and reached out to pull the young man in front of her back.

Then she watched as the young man in front of her slowly raised his hand and gently waved it.

In that instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent. The wave of flesh and blood composed of tentacles that had obscured everything was as if it had been torn open by an invisible radiance, creating a huge rift. The splashing blood stained the moon and starlight behind the rift.

Immediately afterward, behind the rift, the enormous giant, as big as a small mountain, widened its eyes, and blood glowing red spurted from its chest, revealing a huge wound that had cut across its massive body.

Then, its body collapsed backward with a crash, splitting its upper and lower body in two and disappearing into the dark seawater.

Under the tranquil moonlight, blood stained the water's surface.

Once he was certain the monster was completely dead, He Ao retrieved the Shadowless Sword, letting it transform into a shadow and hover around him.

This attack was a skill he developed after the battle on the Navigator.

The Shadowless Sword has the ability to transform into a phantom, and in the phantom state, it can be controlled remotely by He Ao. However, in the phantom state, the Shadowless Sword has no ability to cause damage.

However, He Ao accidentally discovered that the kinetic energy of the Shadowless Sword was not affected in the phantom state.

He threw the Shadowless Sword, entered a phantom state, and then returned to normal. No matter how far he went or how long he moved, the speed or kinetic energy of the Shadowless Sword would not decrease.

He can modify the flight direction of the Shadowless Sword while in phantom form, making it fly horizontally, diagonally, or vertically.

Based on this discovery, he could manipulate the Shadowless Sword to attack in the air by applying a powerful initial kinetic energy to it and then continuously adjusting its flight direction using the Phantom state.

For example, he can control the Shadowless Sword to sweep across a huge fan-shaped attack area in the air, or even to sweep it back and forth in an S-shape to fill the fan and achieve a large-scale attack effect similar to 'sword energy'.

However, this was the first time he had ever tried this operation.

Strictly speaking, this is science.

After sheathing the Shadowless Sword, He Ao glanced back at the bunny girl behind him, nodded slightly to her, and then took a step forward.

The Verola sailed out of the void, taking him with it.

After seeing the old-fashioned train roaring through the void, the girl finally realized who the person in front of her was.

Hao Yi, the mysterious B-level expert who became a sensation on the research institute's forum.

Although she doesn't browse forums much, and is also familiar with those...

She felt nothing for the articles promoting Hao Yi, but at this moment she had to agree with the words used by the blogger nicknamed 'Sunset' to describe this B-level player:

He is like the sun held up by the clouds, powerful, dazzling, mysterious, yet bringing warmth to people.

Hmm... and he's also very handsome.

Although the figure of Marshal He is not physically present, it seems to exude a unique, mysterious charm as if it has witnessed countless years.

She suddenly understood why so many people liked Hao Yi.

Verola

He Ao sat in the dining car and briefly spoke with Wu Lan over the phone about what had just happened, reminding her to arrange for someone to handle the aftermath.

"So, that monster is a remnant of the Church of Chaos? A monster cultivated by West?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Lan asked with some doubt, "This place is nearly 10,000 kilometers away from Newland City-State, how could it attack here?"

"They're probably after me."

He Ao gazed at the moonlight outside the window, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Wouldn't it be a bit foolish for that monster to target you..."

Wu Lan was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something, "They want to confirm if you're really here?!"

Then she suddenly woke up with a start, "There's danger in Newland!"

"I'm afraid it's too late."

He Ao gazed calmly at the moonlight outside the window.

Newland City Maple Leaf Hotel

He Ao drew back the curtains and looked at the scenery outside the window.

A faint, fish-belly white light stretched out from the horizon of the sea, seemingly signifying that dawn was approaching.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the time.

It's already 7:30 in the morning.

At this time of year, sunrise in Newland should be around 6:30 a.m.

The stars and moon still hang high in the sky, and at the horizon, the approaching sunrise and dawn pause there.

Something came up at home, so I was a little delayed. It will be a bit later.

Chapter 727 Intersecting Time and Space (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Bright sunlight shone on the calm sea, and a gentle breeze rippled across the surface.

A massive cargo ship churned through the seawater, sailing forward in the direction the sun shone.

The old captain, standing in the bridge, raised his binoculars and gazed at the distant scene.

Ahead of the ship, at the edge of the horizon, a vast and seemingly endless thick fog obscured the road ahead.

How far are we from Port Newland?

The captain put down his binoculars and looked at the young crew member beside him who was operating the instruments.

"Less than twenty nautical miles, sir."

The young crew member looked up ahead and saw that the vast fog was clearly visible even without binoculars. "The city-state of Newland should be behind that fog," he said.

"Can you get in touch with Port Newland?"

The captain picked up the binoculars again and asked in a low voice.

"could not be reached."

The young crew member quickly responded, "We haven't received a reply to any of our calls."

He hesitated for a moment, looked at the thick fog, and slowly said, "This fog looks a bit strange."
