Ji Xun carefully observed the shadows of the panicked mercenaries.
He saw clearly just now that before the man's head was decapitated, the shadow on the ground first made an incision, and then his neck was broken.
In other words, some mysterious force killed his shadow.
Then the person died.
"Another incomprehensible method..."
Ji Xun muttered slightly to himself.
It looks as evil as the previous curse.
This must be the legendary disaster on the fourth floor of the bunker that no one has ever seen.
The intelligence said that if someone went to the fourth floor, someone would die inexplicably. The wound was cut by a sharp blade, but no one had ever seen the monster.
The girl with the mechanical arm on the side felt a chill on her neck when she saw this scene.
Even she can't defend against this kind of attack method.
She glanced around her. Although she couldn't see clearly in the darkness, she didn't panic at all when she heard the subtle heartbeat.
She knew that this guy was still as calm as ever.
The girl with the mechanical arm didn't know why the two of them were hiding here. It seemed that they were not discovered by the monster.
But as he was thinking about his teammate's action of smashing the gas lamp just now, he seemed to have a vague guess: Can a dark environment avoid monster perception?
How did this guy discover this?
The girl with the mechanical arm felt that she had grasped the key points.
However, before her thoughts could wander further, the guy next to her suddenly pulled out a gun again.
Several "bang" and "bang" gunshots exploded through the eardrums.
The corner of the girl's eyes twitched inexplicably, and then her face suddenly changed, and she turned her head and looked over in disbelief.
.......
The calamity chased a few mercenaries. Originally, the two of them had a high probability of escaping as long as they hid here quietly.
However, people never expected that a gunshot rang out next to them!
The girl with the mechanical arm was also shocked when she saw Ji Xun next to her suddenly raised a gun and shot out five nearby gas lamps.
Is this guy crazy again?
Wouldn't shooting at this time attract the monsters?
But before she could understand anything, a fast but clear battle plan came to her ears: "The disaster is hidden in the shadow of people. It will definitely attack me after a while. If you feel it, tell me. If I If it makes a mistake, you kill it.”
"..."
The girl with the mechanical arm heard this and realized in her heart: Did this guy shoot the gun deliberately to attract monsters?
But, how do you know that the monster will "certainly" come to you?
And he didn't accurately perceive the monster's situation. How did he know that the monster was hiding in the shadow?
Hey...Shadow!
If monsters hide in shadows, then if there are no shadows, wouldn't there be no place for monsters to hide?
When are there no shadows?
When there is no light!
Suddenly it dawned on her that she understood why this guy broke the lamp and hid in the darkness.
Ji Xun knew that his behavior would definitely make his teammates confused. After all, he relied on his combat power, so he still had to explain: "Light makes people see things, but sometimes it can cover up the bright stars in the darkness."
Before the monster came, he said one more thing: "Once we lose our target, it will be very troublesome for it to come to us next time."
The girl with the mechanical arm looked astonished.
Indeed, after this shadow disaster kills those mercenaries, it will definitely come to find the remaining living people in the laboratory - them!
When the time comes to passively attack, the risk will be infinitely magnified by the monster's silent sneaking method.
She also instantly understood why this guy chose to attract monsters now.
I also guessed what he was going to do in response.
But although she roughly understands the reason,... this is currently the strongest and most difficult disaster known in this extradimensional space!
This guy never hesitates every time he bets his life?
...
A few sudden gunshots also attracted the attention of the three mercenaries who were facing a desperate situation.
They were stunned at first, who was shooting?
Then came the ecstasy of the rest of his life.
Those two fools actually lured the monster over!
Huh...that's not right.
Are these two guys dead?
Didn't the kobold find them?
But I can't control it, it's important to escape now.
The three of them wished they had more legs at this moment, and in just a few blinks, they had disappeared into the passage.
...
Ji Xun didn't wait for the monster to kill all the mercenaries before taking action. After all, he needed the bald men to continue to be troublemakers to touch the unknown dangers behind.
It's better to keep him alive.
The sound of gunfire only attracts the monster's attention, but does not lock in hatred.
In fear that the monster wouldn't take the bait, Ji Xun took out a lighter.
As soon as it was lit, Ji Xun's figure was illuminated by the flickering flames in the darkness.
The firelight illuminated the face wearing a gas mask, and the flames were reflected in his eyes, bright and clear.
Putting the lighter behind him, his swaying shadow appeared in front of him.
The girl with the mechanical arm already knew what he was going to do.
This guy wants to use himself as bait to kill the monster!
The guy's decisiveness didn't even allow her to think too much. At this moment, there was no room for careful thought. She quietly retreated into the darkness, fully alert. If a teammate makes a mistake, he can still make up for it.
Sure enough, it came!
The girl's senses were released with all her strength, and she suddenly found the target.
"coming!"
Ji Xun also immediately received a signal reminder like a pinprick in his head.
This kind of mental communication is a method agreed upon by two people, and is much more efficient than verbal communication.
Almost at the same time, Ji Xun released the [Gambling Dog's Severed Hand] skill card on his shadow without hesitation.
At the same time as he made the move, the inspiration in his eyes came into his mind.
【Shadow Demon】
Detailed explanation: A first-class A-level disaster; a dark pollution body, good at shadow assassination; it is a demon hiding in the shadows, which can take your life away quietly; death is like the wind and follows you like a shadow.
Another A-level disaster.
It's the monster on the fourth floor of the bunker that no one has ever seen before.
Because everyone I saw was dead.
Once it possesses someone's shadow, it will be dead the moment someone sees it.
However, before Calamity can kill people, a mysterious force arrives.
Ji Xun predicts his own shadow and releases the card's directional skill [Gambling Dog's Severed Hand].
A mysterious curse was released, and enlightenment was immediately seen.
"Release a curse on the target, 50% probability... the judgment is successful, the target is dead."
Ji Xun survived.
And his shadow squirmed and deformed, falling to the ground.
If you look closely, you will see that it is a dwarf monster as black as ink, which is the A-level disaster [Shadow Demon].
Watching the monster being killed, the girl with the mechanical arm also appeared next to Ji Xun for the first time. She looked at the corpse on the ground with a look of disbelief on her face, her eyes seemed to be able to speak: A-level disaster just like this...was killed again Lost?
It simply made her feel like she was dreaming.
The previous [Gambler] was like this, and the current [Shadow Demon] is like this.
He was killed in one encounter.
If she hadn't personally hunted and killed a weaker [Fallen Witch] of the same level before and it had been severely damaged, she even suspected that the difficulty of this extra-dimensional space had been reduced.
.....
Ji Xun had already explained before that the girl with the mechanical arm knew the so-called secret to clearing the level.
She also knew that the curse card in Ji Xun's hand was the "key" to clear the level.
But...even if there are cards, there is only a 50% probability!
Half the probability of killing monsters, half the probability of dying suddenly.
How dare this guy?
Moreover, no one has ever seen the elusive monster on the fourth floor. Even the most complete information he bought from an intelligence dealer only contained a few words. How did this guy know that the monster was hiding in the shadows?
For a moment, she even wondered if her temporary teammate was actually a humanoid disaster. Otherwise, how could he know so much about this extradimensional space? You slept with the witch for one night and didn't die?
Thinking together, the girl asked in a strange tone: "How do you know that monsters are hiding in the shadows?"
Hearing this tone, Ji Xun obviously guessed that the girl had gone astray, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "It was recorded in those files before. Otherwise, what else do you think is recorded in such an important clue?"
As he spoke, he roughly recounted the contents of the file: "Experimental Cabin 4011... The experimental subject was secondary-distorted into an A-level assassin-type disaster [Shadow Thorn], hidden in the shadow..."
"???"
After hearing this, the girl realized that she had thought too much, but then she was extremely shocked.
She had a vague impression of this, as if there were files recording some research on monsters.
But it was a thick stack that could take a few days to read, but this guy actually remembered it completely after flipping through it?
The information was in her storage space at the moment. The girl said in a strange tone: "You...have you read all the files that are so thick?"
I was threatened by monsters throughout the whole process, so how could I have time to look carefully?
Ji Xun explained casually: "I haven't read them all. I picked out some key points and saw that the description of the monster matched the information you gave me, so I paid more attention."
His mind is very active, and it is not difficult to see ten lines at a glance.
If he reads it alone, his efficiency is equivalent to several people reading it at the same time.
This is one of the few benefits brought about by a morbid mental state.
But there is no need to explain so much.
When the girl with the mechanical arm heard this, she suddenly understood something.
Could this guy have awakened some mysterious talent direction, such as wisdom?
This is the only explanation.
No wonder he was so weak, but he acted very calmly from beginning to end.
But it's one thing to remember, and another to actually act.
The girl frowned again and asked: "But... that card only has a 50% chance of success. Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?"
"Obviously, my bet was right."
Ji Xun spread his hands indifferently.
Of course there's more to it than that.
He looked at the eyes beside him that would not give up even if they gave an explanation, and could only explain: "With a 50% probability, if nothing else is considered, this level is indeed a gamble. But now it is completely confirmed that in this space There are other forces that influence it.”
"???"
The girl with the mechanical arm still didn't understand.
The explanation in a few words was not clear, and Ji Xun had no intention of explaining more, saying: "You will know in a moment. We have passed this test in the extradimensional space, and we should be close to the final level now."
Meeting a gambling dog before did involve gambling, but not now.
When he saw [Gambling Dog's severed hand], he was sure that he could kill this shadow demon.
