Home of the Brave

Moving in the direction where the wind came, Dai Yang also gradually felt the unusual breath in the wind.

The smell of monsters, the strong smell of blood, and some unspeakable mysterious atmosphere, mixed in the air, condensed into a creepy and ominous atmosphere, but there was nothing to see in the dark cave.

In the deathly silence, the monotonous footsteps were amplified to the point of deafening. The more you walk forward, the more suffocating feeling as if you have stepped into the underworld. The Ji Yao next to him leaned in subconsciously, while Dai Yang bit his head and stepped forward holding the torch high.

As the footsteps progressed, the ominous breath in the air became stronger and stronger, and the strong smell of the blood of the monster made Dai Yang's sense of smell almost paralyzed. He stopped in front of a corner, leaned his back against the rock wall, handed the illuminated torch to Ji Yao, and looked quietly from behind the rock wall. Who knows that as soon as he poked his head out of the rock wall, he confronted a big bull's head.

"Huh?" Dai Yang exclaimed, and took two steps back in reflection, putting on a guard posture, but the dark bull head did not make any moves.

Dai Yang then calmly looked at the bull's head. I saw blood leaking from the seven holes of the big cow head, and the pupils turned white, showing a terrifying appearance against the firelight, but it had long since lost its breath. Looking around, the nine-foot-tall giant of the dark bull's head was lying on the cold ground, and underneath was a rock face stained with blood red. Dai Yang scanned the corpse of the dark bull head, but found no obvious scars.

"...Here."

Ji Yao turned the head of the dark bull's head over, and saw a blood trough cut out from the neck of the bull's head with the waist of an ordinary person, and the blood in the monster's nine-foot body was sprayed to the ground from this incision. From the surrounding broken rock wall, one can imagine the bull head struggling crazily before his death, but at this time the blood from the wound has long been drained, and the blood that has flowed to the ground has also condensed.

Ji Yao stretched out his hand to check the condition of the wound, and then came to a conclusion. "The sharp blade cut through the neck, severing the blood vessel with a single knife, and the start was clean and tidy. Even Sylvia can't save this kind of injury."

"Can you see how long it has been?" Dai Yang frowned tightly.

"From the condition of the wound, it will not exceed two hours." Ji Yao replied. "You should know what level of monster the dark bull's head is? Do you want to move forward?"

The Dark Minotaur is a close relative of the Minotaur. Minotaurs are ferocious monsters called "wilder slayers". They have a huge body full of muscles and horns that even steel can penetrate. The danger is higher than that of ogres. The Dark Minotaur has all the characteristics of the Minotaur, and also has the night vision ability that the Minotaur does not possess, and can move freely in the dark cave. They like to inhabit the underground labyrinth, and even a team of well-equipped experienced adventurers can hardly have a chance of surviving after encountering a dark bull head.

However, such a powerful monster turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground, and it was still deadly.

Those who can do this kind of thing are undoubtedly extremely dangerous and powerful enemies. According to Ji Yao's judgment, Niutou had only been dead for less than two hours. It is inferred from this that if they continue to move forward, they are likely to encounter a formidable enemy who kills the dark bull's head. Facing a powerful enemy who doesn't know the details in the dark is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous situation, so Ji Yao confirmed to Dai Yang.

Facing the unknown risks, Dai Yang pondered for a moment, and then made a decision. "It's better to keep going. Our goal is to hunt demons. It is a high-risk thing. How can we shrink from this level? Just be vigilant."

"That's right." Ji Yao nodded in agreement. "Uranus is our prey, we don't want to be robbed like this."

After the brief discussion, Dai Yang and Ji Yao continued to move toward the depths of the cave. On the road, they saw more corpses of monsters lying in a pool of blood. Some were cut off the carotid artery, and some were pierced into the heart, but without exception, they were all killed. The two of them saw it secretly, so they became more vigilant. After walking in this way for about an hour or so, the **** smell in the air gradually dissipated, and the fresh wind gushing from the cracks in the rock wall seemed to announce that they had walked out of the tragic path covered with corpses.

"...It's all right here, is the other party already far away?"

Ji Yao stopped and looked back at the path he had walked through with some doubts. "But, what kind of guy would come to this place?"

"Who knows? But speaking of guys who can move freely in the dark, I remember one thing..."

Dai Yang shrugged and was about to say something, suddenly frowned.

I saw behind Ji Yao, at this moment that ominous shadow appeared again! The difference from the previous few times is that this time the black shadows are clearer and last longer. Dai Yang frowned and stared at the black shadow, and saw that at the moment the black shadow disappeared, a fierce light suddenly burst out of the darkness, attacking the jealous demon holding the torch at lightning speed!

"Dodge!" Dai Yang pushed away the Ji Yao, and at the same time kicked towards the shadow.

Sombra's reaction seemed extremely fast. The fierce light shuddered in the middle, and kicked across Dai Yang, forcing Dai Yang to retreat, but a shallow cut was made in his calf.

"Go to hell!" Ji Yao reacted within half a second, waving his hand to cut the line of the evil spirit, but the shadow had already retreated into the darkness alertly, and her attack returned without success.

"...It seems that we have come across the right idea." Dai Yang leaned against the jealous demon, concentrating on guarding the front.

"That guy, dare to attack us!" Ji Yao guarded the other direction, her voice seemed resentful. "Is your injury okay?"

"The injury is a small problem, and the big problem is that guy." Dai Yang looked at the dark shadow where it disappeared.

In this kind of underground with neither moonlight nor shimmering veins, even Siruda's night vision has lost its effect. They can't figure out the opponent's position at all. On the contrary, the opponent seems to be able to move freely in the dark. I only felt that the trembling killing intent came from the depths of the darkness, but I couldn't grasp the direction at all. The other party completely occupies the geographical advantage, and the two can be said to be at an overwhelming disadvantage.

"Is the torch revealing the position?" Ji Yaoxu looked at the torch in his hand.

"I think it shouldn't be a big deal." Dai Yang frowned. "Although I don't know what it is, this guy seems to be able to move freely in the dark... Wait, give me the torch, I have a way."

"...What do you want to do?" Ji Yao seemed uneasy, but he still handed over the torch.

"That guy seems to have a reaction to the torch. I want to draw him out and try it. You can hide yourself first."

Dai Yang took the torch, walked a few steps away from the jealous monster, came to the open area in the cave, and raised the torch high, so as to lure the dark shadow to attack.

Although he once doubted whether such an obvious trick to lure the enemy could really work, the attack of the shadow was unexpectedly violent. Almost as soon as he was standing still, the sound of breaking wind came from his right ear. I saw the fierce light burst out in the darkness, slashing to his right hand holding the torch-as long as the only torch was extinguished, the two people who lost the light could only be slaughtered. The black shadow seemed to have such an idea, but in the end It was unexpected.

A murderous blade slashed on Dai Yang's right wrist, but it made a sound of gold and iron. The blade only advanced half a cent before it was blocked by the hard qigong strengthened by the demon energy. The black shadow who couldn't make a hit wanted to retreat, but the weapon was tightly held by the hardened muscles, and he couldn't break free for a while. When Sombra was panicking, the other iron fist of the black-haired young man grabbed his neck and smashed him against the rock wall.

"I caught you, bastard."

Dai Yang lightly licked the wound on his right hand, looking at the black shadow's face with the light of the fire, only to see that the black mask was very familiar.

"Could it be..." He tore off Soi Ying's mask in surprise, and then saw the face without facial features behind the mask. "A fanatic monk?"

Astonished Dai Yang was waiting for further confirmation, but he saw the mad believer who was restrained by him suddenly bowed his head and muttered, and at the same time he exuded an inexplicable and mysterious black aura.

Intuition sounded the alarm in an instant, and Dai Yang jumped back almost like a reflection, grabbing the coming Jimon and threw himself behind the rock wall. And in the next second, a deafening explosion sounded, and the black flame swept the cave with a hot air current. Dai Yang pressed Ji Yao on his body, but he felt as if his back was burning.

Fortunately, the explosion came quickly and disappeared quickly. When there were no more rocks on the top of his head, Dai Yang got up from the ground, looking in the direction of the fanatic monk with lingering fears. With the embers of the torch, he found a charred humanoid mark on the rock wall, and the fanatic monk himself had been blown up without a trace.

"Crazy monk? Those guys again!"

After listening to Dai Yang's narration, Ji Yao showed an angry expression.

"Didn't they escape back to the lair with their tails clipped? Why did they run out to make waves again?"

"...I have a bad feeling, maybe we were tricked by the Karan." Dai Yang also frowned. "In retrospect, those guys walked too simply."

"You mean, they pretended to return to the empire on the surface, but actually sneaked over here?" Ji Yao understood this way.

"Other than that, I can't think of any other possibilities." Dai Yang said as he tore off the cloth strips from the corners of his clothes with his teeth, trying to tie it to the wound on his right wrist.

"...Idiot, you won't be able to tie it up like you, take it over." Ji Yao took the cloth strip to help wrap it up. Although he has the blessing of demon qi and hard qigong, the fierce blade of the fanatic monk still left him with a deep wound. Ji Demon looked at him and couldn't help cursing, "You idiot, it is necessary to deal with a guy of that degree. Do you hurt yourself? Other than this stupid way, you should have other ways?"

"Yes, there are, but if you want a quick fight, that's all you can do." Dai Yang said helplessly, and the feeling of being scolded by the jealous demon was not bad. "The other party has a good place, and I don't know if there are other fanatic monks lurking around, and dragging it on will only cause trouble."

"Tie it...you, let us deal with it next time." Ji Yao tied the bandage, patted the wound lightly, looked at the man with a grinning expression, and then asked a new question. . "But, why on earth? This is Uranus' lair. What do they want to do when they come to this place?"

"I'm not sure, but if it's really like I guessed, there might be a big trouble inside..." Dai Yang looked at the jealous monster and confirmed: "How? Do you want to move on?"
