It was a circular, pure black pattern, with two closely-fitting circles forming the outer edge. Inside was the silhouette of a knight, sitting astride a horse, holding a lance.
Knight level, the highest level of Nightmare.
Shield level, sword level, badge level, knight level...
Kaxiu had come across Black Rain Villa during his third time of retrospection. It was a mysterious and bizarre realm. Entering the area covered by Black Rain Villa was like entering another world.
Dawn Hospital, Craniotomy Clinic, Arthropod Hall, Baptismal Church, Mission Hall, Core Bell Tower. These are special buildings inside Black Rain Villa, and together they constitute an important area of the villa.
In addition, there are still a lot of unopened dangerous areas inside the villa. That's because in the era when Kaxiu returned, Black Rain Villa was still in the recovery period, and its strength was returning bit by bit.
Whether it was the Black Rain Villa itself, the corrupt knights walking in the black rain, or even the number and quality of the journalists signed by the villa, they had not reached their peak. At that time, Kaxiu was able to destroy the Black Rain Villa once, which was a coincidence of various factors.
The most important thing was that they had borrowed the powerful strength of the secret martial arts community in the northern part of the Federation. Secret martial arts masters from more than a dozen or even dozens of schools besieged Black Rain Villa, and six or seven school leaders brazenly joined the battle.
Among them were some old fellows who were famous even among fighters, and this was how they suppressed the backlash from Black Rain Villa.
The current era is the end of the Red Li Empire. Black Rain Villa is running silently according to its own rules. It may be at its peak now. The number and quality of the journalists under his command are probably far beyond that of the dusk period.
For example, the knight-level Nightmare in front of you.
Kashu suddenly felt a hint of danger, which was a sudden premonition brought about by the spirit of a top fighter.
This meant that the guy opposite was not as weak as the Knight-level Nightmare in the twilight period. If he was not mistaken, this masked black-robed man was probably better than a boxer.
As for whether he has reached the level of a fighter.
Not clear.
Because this can only be known by fighting with all their strength. Once the strength is raised to the level of a fighter, Bai Kui's body may not be able to withstand it and will pay a heavy price.
"Hunter from the Dark Hunting Organization? You are quite capable..."
The black-robed man wearing a tree-patterned mask opened his five fingers and let the torn glove fabric fall off, revealing his bony palms.
He turned his head and glanced at Kaxiu not far away.
The child's hole suddenly contracted.
Boom!
A giant scaly python rushed over like a high-speed train, squeezing the ground into a huge depression. Dozens of trees were knocked away.
The black-robed man instantly slashed down the huge sickle in his hand and chopped it off with the head of the python that was charging straight ahead. A wave of air like an explosion of explosives instantly spread out, making the entire sea of trees rustle.
Fallen leaves and smoke swirled around, dancing in the gaps between the trees.
A figure flew out, spinning, and suddenly bent in midair, stabbing the ground with the sickle in his hand. The plowed soil rolled, and the roots of the trees were cut off one after another. The black figure offset the huge impact force, glided ten meters in the low air, stopped, and stepped on the ground again.
Just as I stood firm, a man walked out from the falling leaves.
"You hit me with a knife, I will hit you back."
"It's a good thing to be polite..."
Black boots crushed the fallen leaves, and a figure stood far away. His shoulders were thin and frail, even a little slender. But at this moment, a domineering aura filled his body, making his whole body look taller.
Rumble, rumble…
A giant purple snake squeezed out from the woods, surrounded Kasu, and curled up its huge body in circles.
Only the raised neck and head were left, like a tall wall of scales, blocking the remaining sunlight in the sky.
The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and looked across, slowly carrying the metal sickle in his hand on his shoulder: "You can call me a ghost man. I wonder which Dark Gold Hunter you are..."
"Or rather, Shadowhunter?"
His voice was low and hoarse as if it had been stoked by fire. The black-robed man who claimed to be a ghost had no intention of fighting Kaxiu to the death. The first sickle was more like a test. Trash had no right to be here.
"Hmm? Black Copper Badge? This is the Black Copper Hunter's..."
The ghost narrowed his eyes again. The badge representing the rank of the members of the Dark Hunter Organization was hanging on Kaxiu's collar. If you look closely, you can see it. The Dark Hunter Organization's Black Bronze Hunters include C-level and D-level, which correspond to the Sword-level and Shield-level Night Monsters of the Black Rain Villa. The man opposite was wearing a low-level badge, but his strength was seriously inconsistent, far exceeding that of the Black Bronze.
Or he is a scheming expert who likes to go fishing everywhere.
Or he could be a powerful civilian who has just joined the Dark Hunting Organization.
No matter what, such a powerful hunter suddenly appeared where the disaster tunnel was about to open. I'm afraid that his purpose was the same as mine, and he was also heading for the tunnel.
However, these did not matter to the ghost. The mission he received was just to enter the tunnel to get something, and once he got it, he would have accomplished his goal. As for what Kaxiu wanted to do, as long as it was not the same as his goal, it was completely up to him.
After all, the result of the test just now was that the other party was a master. Although the strength shown directly could be dealt with by Gui Ren, he could smell the danger from the other party.
Once that kind of danger breaks out, it will be like a landslide and the earth will split.
Even if Gui Ren is confident in his strength that he has honed through life and death, he may have to pay a heavy price. Therefore, he does not want to be completely hostile to Kaxiu for the time being.
Just like now.
Just keep a delicate balance of being wary of each other.
The afterglow of the setting sun, with a hint of red in the dimness, spread over the tops of the woods, and the cool mountain breeze blew up the corners of the two people's clothes.
Just now they were attacking each other with great momentum, but now the forest has returned to calm, as if the brief fight before had never happened. The two figures gradually stretched out their distance.
The sun sets completely, and the shadows merge into the night.
The last ray of sunlight remained on the horizon, shining in harmony with the moonlight that was already hanging high in the sky. When it shone on the vortex pattern at the root of the dead tree, something strange happened immediately.
The static pattern actually began to rotate, accelerating clockwise, forming a dark spiral vortex. The surface was covered with a layer of hazy gray mist, like a dark waterfall.
At the junction of day and night, a passage appears.
Kaxiu's eyes shone. He smelled the air coming out of the tunnel and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It was a strange and decayed smell similar to the Black Rain Villa, and a bit like the dark source and disaster essence commonly produced in the bodies of dark creatures.
"You go first? Or should I go first?"
The ghost spoke first and pulled out the sickle from the ground.
"Forget it, I'll go first."
Walking forward, the ghost went straight to the vortex of tree roots.
He stepped in and was directly swallowed up by the mist in the passage.
Kaxiu remained silent, and after waiting cautiously for a minute, he stepped forward and tried to walk into the passage.
Gray mist spread, and a cold and gloomy feeling enveloped the place.
His mind was in a daze, and he felt as if he was split into two parts, and a new body was pulled out from his torso.
With a sudden stumble, Kaxiu left the passage.
My sight returned, and everything around me gradually became brighter.
He opened his eyes and looked around cautiously.
Ruins, black ruins, desolate everywhere. Collapsed walls, collapsed tall buildings, broken bricks and tiles.
This is a city, a dead city.
I looked up at the sky. It was gloomy, as if a smudge of ink was smudged across the top of the sky, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. It was as if the black clouds and thick fog were mixed together, blocking the light.
The visibility around is even dimmer than on a rainy day.
Black snowflakes were falling in wisps. Kaxiu caught one with his hand, and it turned out not to be snowflakes, but ashes. The ashes of something burning still had a residual warmth.
"Where exactly is this place..."
He stood on the top of a small hill in the city, where there was a round white stone altar, the surface of which was severely damaged. Some buildings had also collapsed, and their original appearance could no longer be seen clearly.
After Kaxiu came to his senses, he immediately checked his body and found that he was no longer in Bai Kui's body.
But it is Kasu’s original body in the real world!
And it is not a physical body, but a spiritual body.
He recalled the feeling of disconnection just now and understood.
His spirit and body separated, and the spirit reorganized into a body and entered a strange realm.
Kaxiu calmed down instantly and immediately looked for the ghost who had passed through the tunnel with him, but there was no trace of him.
Boom! Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the distance.
Turning to the right, it seemed that a violent explosion had occurred in a corner of the ruins. Mud flew up into the sky and fell like a rain curtain.
Then there were flashes of fire and gusts of wind and waves.
Kaxiu's eyes flickered, and he was about to go in that direction. Suddenly, a burning sensation came from the front of his chest, the Wisdom Rune!
Looking down, the never-ending Ouroboros icon suddenly began to rotate, devouring itself in a cycle.
A blue-black light flashed like metallic scales.
Suddenly, Kaxiu felt a vague guidance in his mind.
A place that echoed the Wisdom Rune was right to my left hand, and it didn't seem too far away.
"Oyin?"
He chanted these two simple syllables, put his right hand on his chest, took a deep breath, and went to the left hand.
One minute later, in the ruins of the city.
A shadowy figure passed by as quickly as the wind.
Kaxiu's strength returned, and the spirit of a top fighter left Bai Kui's weak body and formed a body of his own. Instead, there were no restrictions, and his combat power was restored instantly.
This was the only thing he could be thankful for in this strange and unknown situation. With his strength back, his confidence also returned. This way, he would be much more calm in facing possible dangers.
“Tattah…tattah…”
A series of footsteps rushed across the damaged road and suddenly stopped at the corner. Kaxiu paused slightly, and the next second his black boots became blurred, and a hole exploded in the ground.
Scarlet mist surged from his body, and he turned into a bloody figure. His arms spread out like two straight swords, and he rushed straight towards the withered corpses wrapped in dark red bandages.
This was a dark creature that Kaxiu had never seen before. It looked like a mummy, but between the gaps in the bandages were jagged mouths or evil eyes. From its mouth came out a black thorn-like tongue that was seven or eight meters long. When it was ejected with power, its speed was comparable to that of a bullet!
The eyes were also strange, and a small red dot would appear where it was staring, like infrared light. Once multiple red dots appeared on the body, Kaxiu's movements would become slow and numb, and even the surface of his skin would itch, as if eyes were growing out of it.
However, although the ability of this dark creature is novel, it is difficult to pose a threat to Kaxiu who has already recovered his strength.
Facing more than twenty mummies on the avenue, he first spent thirty seconds testing the abilities of the dark creatures he had never seen before, and then used ten seconds to cut the mummies into pieces.
The dark creature temporarily called Mummy Yin also has immortality, but the Death Tooth Power is specifically used to restrain this kind of thing!
The cross-section of Mummy Yin that was cut in half by Kaxiu's hand knife could not heal at all. Instead, it was eroded and collapsed by the special force.
It was strange that his body made of spirit was exactly the same as the one in the real world. All the twenty or so acupoints of Nan Dou Fist were opened, and the transformation of his body into a golem was synchronized.
Therefore, Kaxiu can use the Death Fang Echo Force and absorb the life vibration energy of these Mu Nai Yin and store it in the spirit body. Unfortunately, the vibration energy cannot be used.
Maybe I have to go back through the tunnel to get back to normal.
After dealing with Mu Nai Yin, Kaxiu went in the direction indicated. In just five minutes, he encountered seven or eight dark creatures he had never seen before, with strange abilities and large numbers. Although he did not encounter an individual comparable to a fighter, the degree of danger was enough for Kaxiu, who could only use illusions, to withstand.
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of explosions quickly advanced in the passage.
The echo force vibrated in circles, and occasionally a roaring sound gun would fly out, and the exploding air wave covered an area of ten meters.
The densely packed filthy insects were blasted to death, and green juice splashed all over the wall. These caterpillars, which had been magnified ten times, were still fearless, bending their bodies on the ground and then shooting at the figure rushing over like bullets, one after another.
whoosh!
Kaxiu rushed out of the encirclement and disappeared at the end of the passage.
A few minutes later, he finally arrived at the destination indicated by the Wisdom Rune. It was a tall tower, a white tower with the upper half completely collapsed. There were circular metal patterns on the surface, and it was unknown whether it had a specific extraordinary function or was just a decoration.
Kaxiu took a deep breath and shook off the dirt on his body.
Walk straight into the entrance to the first floor of the White Tower.
This is a two-person-high metal door, with angel-wing-like patterns on the surface, which is quite exquisite. However, due to the passage of time, there is a layer of gray dirt on the surface, which looks quite blurry. All that can be seen is a disc-shaped logo in the middle of the door, and inside the disc is a five-pointed star.
Each corner of the five-pointed star corresponds to a symbol.
Among them, at the very bottom, is the rune of wisdom: ∞.
Kaxiu put his hand on it, and immediately the symbol on the door and the wisdom rune on the chest resonated, and the iron door opened.
A turbid air blew towards me, quite choking.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and walked in.
The iron door behind him suddenly closed and a voice was heard.
"Welcome to the opposite side of reality, the world of disaster..."
