In the end, Qiangwei went up the mountain with Kaxiu.
She said: Hunters have no reason to retreat when they are on a mission. Moreover, she is a White-level hunter after all. It is not a problem for her to help Kaxiu clean up some of the miscellaneous soldiers.
Kaxiu believed it, and didn't care whether Rose could keep up or not. Although he had just arrived in the Era of Resurrection, his spirit could already release power through special methods. According to Kaxiu's own estimation, it would not be a problem for him to reach the level of a great boxer. That is, he was comparable to the peak hunter of the White Obsidian level or the ordinary hunter of the Dark Gold level, only below the six hunters.
If the seventh-ranked hunter of the Dark Hunter Organization couldn't handle such a small task, then Kaxiu could end his practice of returning to the past now. Moreover, he still had a trump card. If he encountered real danger, Kaxiu could fully burst out his spirit and spirit once, and briefly return to his peak.
The strength of a top fighter is enough to wipe out any seemingly insurmountable danger. Although after that, Bai Kui's body may be riddled with holes and close to being scrapped.
Kaxiu would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
At 5:10 pm, the sun sets below the horizon, leaving only the orange afterglow that shines through the atmosphere and smudges the clouds. Three or four lines of birds fly by, and a deep sense of dusk is about to descend.
On the path up the mountain, the two figures gradually disappeared into the woods. Five minutes later, the outline of the castle appeared before our eyes.
This is a typical old castle with a dome-shaped roof. However, it has been exposed to the wind and sun and has fallen into disrepair for many years. Many tiles have been damaged and peeled off, and moss is everywhere. The overall color looks dark, and some of the paint has faded.
At the door, Kaxiu withdrew his gaze. But Qiangwei beside him reminded him, "Master Baikui, it is now dusk, the junction of day and night. If there are dark creatures in there, they are probably close to waking up..."
"Maybe it sensed our approach."
"Hmm?" Kaxiu frowned when he heard this. He keenly grasped the key information in Qiangwei's words.
"Day, night, awake?"
These were not included in the memories of Bai Kui that Kaxiu inherited. Every time he went back in time, he only saw some vague fragments of the original owner.
Kaxiu knew the process of some major events and some unforgettable memories. As for other memories, they were like dreams, and he couldn't figure them out no matter how hard he tried.
It was like being covered with a thick layer of black gauze.
The two did not enter the Knight's Castle directly. Kaxiu spent a minute talking indirectly before he understood what Qiangwei had just said. During the Red Lebanese Empire, dark creatures did not move during the day! They could only be active at night!
This is completely different from the period of the Red Lebanese Federation.
The dark creatures at that time of Kasu could obviously walk freely in the sunlight. Even though they also hated the sunlight, they were not restricted from being exposed to sunlight or being weakened by the day.
When he heard Qiangwei's description just now, he thought he had heard it wrong, thinking that it was just a characteristic of a certain dark creature that hid during the day and came out at night. But after learning more about it, he realized that all dark creatures were like this!
Photophobia, fear of light, severely weakened during daylight hours.
What's worse, some will turn into ashes directly when exposed to the sun.
I'm talking about the vampires!
Why are they both dark creatures, but have undergone such a huge change in a span of about 200 years? According to the records of the Red Li Empire, dark creatures throughout the empire have been afraid of light and daytime for nearly a thousand years! There must be something that happened that led to such a dramatic change.
Could it be the fall of the Hongli Empire? !
Or is some major event happening in an unknown place
Kaxiu immediately became alert. He felt that this time of returning to the past might not be simple. He might personally experience a world-class historical process in the extraordinary world. Not only the Red Lebanese Empire, but the changes in the characteristics of dark creatures would affect the entire world.
His thoughts raced for only a moment. Kaxiu came to his senses immediately and strode towards the archway with Qiangwei.
This tall arch is the entrance to the castle, which is made up of two arrow tower-like buildings on the left and right. There is also a corridor between the two buildings at the top of the arch, with three windows.
Because it has been abandoned, it exudes an inexplicable eerie feeling.
Go through the archway and enter the castle. The space is larger than you might imagine. The castle is not just one building, but a small complex of buildings with simple and narrow passages.
The withered trees have lost their vitality, and their branches are like black claws.
Although it is a lush summer, the weeds in the open space inside the castle are dry and yellow, without any bright colors.
Kaxiu stood in front of a pile of rubble, slowly looking around, and could see some obvious fighting and bloodstains. These were left behind half a month ago, when the mission failed.
Only Bai Kui and the old hunter are left in the team of seven.
After escaping, I got some useful information.
1: The strength of the dark creatures in the castle has been underestimated.
Two: This is a rare dark creature that has never appeared before, a group of Hades Knights wearing plate armor.
Three: What are these dark creatures, simply named the Nether Knights, guarding? They won't leave any time soon.
It was by chance that Kaxiu encountered the mission that caused the original owner to be seriously injured and unconscious in bed for half a month. It was just right that finishing this matter could be regarded as announcing a brand new beginning for Bai Kui.
"Tatttatt..."
Two footsteps sounded softly in the dilapidated corridor.
Turn a corner and a surprise appears.
At the end of another corridor, a tall figure riding a warhorse suddenly turned around. No, not riding a warhorse, but a dark creature in the form of a centaur. About three meters tall, wearing heavy armor with some hideous scale-like patterns on the surface. There was still a faint blue smoke surging.
Its lower body is in the shape of a horse, strong and powerful, and its upper body is also that of a burly man, holding a bloody axe in both hands.
Judging from the appearance, it was quite oppressive. But in fact, this Nether Knight was a dark creature of the lowest level, which was roughly comparable to the level of uncorrupted dead blood.
Kaxiu didn't even look at it, and raised his hand to kill it. But Qiangwei, who was standing next to him, took the lead, as if she wanted to fulfill her promise to help Kaxiu deal with the small fish. She quickly drew a symbol in the air with her right hand and uttered a syllable.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and rose patterns spread out from the corners of his eyes, climbing and entangled together. In an instant, a magical wave surged out. It was as if an invisible and intangible field enveloped the surroundings.
This is the illusion space of the illusionist, a product similar to the aura of the secret warrior. If the aura of the fighter is released through the spirit, then the illusion space is a field released based on the spirit. It is similar to the mind of the telekinesis master, but also different.
The Dark Hunting Organization is the official force of the Red Lebanese Empire. It has had control over the supernatural world for hundreds of years and has therefore produced many research summaries over a long period of time.
Except for the secret warriors who practice secret martial arts, the members of the Dark Hunter Organization who drink the holy spring to gain power, and the Night Evil of the Black Rain Villa, the power gained by all other extraordinary people is called source energy by the Dark Hunter Organization, which is a talent different from ordinary people.
Source energy, concise and to the point. The power in the source.
There are only three types of the human body that can be called origins.
Physique, spirit, and mind.
Some people are born with special talents, and one of these three origins is particularly strong. As they grow older, they will naturally stimulate the ability of that origin.
This is innate, and there are some acquired conditions.
Or they have come into contact with some mysterious objects, or have been to some strange places, or encountered some unspeakable things, thus stimulating the body's strength and mastering the source of energy.
The Red Li Empire has a vast territory and a large population. The abilities of the energy awakeners are also varied, with many strange categories. We can only make some simple classifications of XX series.
For example, under the spiritual origin, there are categories such as illusion, telekinesis, and ghost. It can be said to be fancy.
In fact, the Source Energy Man and the Dark Creature are like the front and back sides of a mirror. The Source Energy Man is one of the three origins and is particularly powerful, while the Dark Creature lacks one of the origins.
The Holy Spring Drinker and the Night Stranger are different. One has the Holy Spring, and the other has the power of the secret soul melted in the rain. They can use external objects to enhance the three origins of the human body, thus developing freely and more selectively.
Finally, when it comes to secret warriors, the secret martial arts path. In Kaxiu's opinion, it is the most balanced and correct path, and it is also suspected to be the oldest.
When the world was still in the wild ages, it seemed that ancient boxing techniques had appeared. They were passed down from generation to generation, and their upper limits were extremely high.
Physical strength, morale, and spirit. Secret martial arts do not miss any of them, and they will be trained in every practice, but the emphasis is different in different stages of secret martial arts practice. In essence, secret martial arts practice is the three things going hand in hand, the three origins in a powerful body.
Develop the secrets of the human body and have the most comprehensive fighting power.
Generally speaking, practicing secret martial arts is the best, followed by the unstable but powerful Holy Spring and Secret Soul Power. The various source energies are the third best. It is very extreme to only practice one of the three major gates.
However, the source energy users have achieved great accomplishments in their extreme level, which even powerful secret martial arts practitioners cannot catch up with.
For example, now, Rose showed the power of a White Light Illusionist. The moment she released the illusion space, the Nether Knight running towards her from a distance suddenly stopped in his tracks. He showed a running posture with great tension, and his giant axe was frozen in mid-air.
The whole body looked like a withered statue, and the pupils' eyes were already dark.
It was obvious that the consciousness was dragged into the illusion space in an instant.
“Pah.”
Rose snapped her fingers, quickly changed the hand seals with her right hand, and finally uttered a corresponding syllable. The Nether Knight's aura suddenly became silent, and the luster in the child's hole was lost.
"Although it is dusk now and the light in the corridor of the castle is quite dim, my rose space can still play more than 70% of its function. Now this dark creature has lost its ability to move, and its consciousness has been dragged into the illusion space. In just five to ten seconds, its consciousness will sink completely. The body of this dark creature will also die..."
Qiangwei thought to herself. She was still able to handle this dark creature that was one level lower than her. It was getting dark soon, and she had to finish the battle before the night fell. Otherwise, the dark creature would become active and their killing desire would rise. In addition, the light was dark and vision was obstructed. Even if Bai Kui was a master of illusion, she would probably not be able to get any benefit.
"Master Bai Kui, we..." Just as Qiangwei was about to urge, a series of sounds of galloping horses suddenly came from the end of the road ahead.
He was attracted by the noise of the Nether Knight running.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Four or five figures jumped out from the corner in succession. Each of them looked like a heavily armored knight, running at full speed like a car.
The gravel on the ground kept shaking.
The tip of the weapon scraped against the wall, sending out a shower of sparks.
"Twilight Rose!"
Qiangwei took a step forward, her fingers drew afterimages in front of her chest, and she uttered more than a dozen syllables at the same time.
With a special rhythm, like singing.
Fingerprints flew, fingers overlapped to perform various difficult movements. It seemed to be a basic technique that required a long time of practice.
Even more powerful mental fluctuations unfold as the illusion unfolds.
He was about to drag the four or five Nether Knights in front of him, who were emitting blue smoke, into the illusion. Unexpectedly, two more Nether Knights rushed out from the corner, four meters tall and emitting blue light.
These two knights already correspond to the Obsidian-level hunters.
Qiangwei secretly cried out in her heart that something was wrong, and the next moment the illusion space was shattered on the spot. Too many enemies' consciousness were dragged in at once, especially two of the same level, and the illusion was broken.
Moreover, these two blue Nether Knights are much more powerful than ordinary dark creatures of the same level, which led to the backlash.
Blood was dripping from the corner of her eyes, and Qiangwei felt dizzy. Just as she was about to open her mouth to remind Kaxiu, she suddenly heard a roar.
That was the howl of a strange and fierce bird that could pierce through gold and split stone.
In the darkness, Kaxiu stood still like a withered statue. However, a huge blood-red figure leaped out from behind his body, and its ferocious and huge wings instantly covered most of the corridor.
The truck-sized head opened its mouth and swallowed it.
He bit the upper body of a Nether Knight and cut it in two with a snap. The heavy and simple armor was like a paper lake, blood was gushing out, and the cross section was a pool of blood and flesh. The small half of the horse rushed forward for a distance before kneeling down.
The ferocious bird opened and closed its huge beak twice, and its blood-red eyes, like searchlights, were full of greed and desire for blood.
It let out two strange croaking sounds, and opened its big mouth that was so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood again, and a huge suction force came.
The air flow rolled back in, and the three men and horses could not stabilize their bodies at all. Their three-meter-tall bodies were dragged over by the suction force and hopelessly sank into the black hole-like mouth.
The sound of metal bones cracking and chewing could be heard.
Blood spurted out from the gap in the bird's beak like a fountain.
"!
!”
The remaining two blue Nether Knights who barely managed to keep their bodies steady were terrified and fled madly in the direction they came from. But behind them, there was a horrifying sound of explosions. It was the Blood Vulture's neck that shrank and shot out like a spring, biting down with its huge bloody mouth!
With a click, the two knights and half of the house were swallowed up. The cross section was extremely smooth, with a huge "U"-shaped depression on the marble wall. Stone chips fell one after another.
Not far away, Qiangwei rubbed her eyes, looked at the blood-red giant bird feasting in the ruins, and then turned her head to stare at Kaxiu who did nothing, her expression gradually twisted.
There seemed to be a voice deep inside her shouting.
"Is this a fucking illusion? It can swallow up a building in one gulp? The illusion master in the organization doesn't seem to be that outrageous! Theoretically, this is impossible!"
