Chapter 139 Attack in the Dark

With a suppressed exclamation, Miss Valente was pressed to the ground by Lynch. As they rolled, the two of them had already seen the location where the muffled sound came from behind. There was nothing there, just as dark as the surrounding area.

But the muffled sound and the impact would not lie.

Lynch let go of the noble lady in his arms. The two of them ignored the embarrassment and looked at each other in surprise. They each took two steps back and quickly left their original positions, moving quickly while trying to observe carefully.

The darkness was dense, and the light column of the torch of light barely penetrated the darkness to illuminate the ground. The two of them were not wrong. There was indeed nothing on the ground. They raised the light column upwards. Above was the second floor floor that they had just jumped down. Like the lower floor, the light column barely penetrated the darkness and could not illuminate any foreign objects.

Damn, what kind of monster is hidden in the darkness?

Fear often comes from the unknown. The more you can't see it, the more nervous you are.

There is definitely something there, and it has made hostile behaviors, but you can't see anything in the dark. It must be pulled out, otherwise no one knows whether it will attack again, and you may not be so lucky next time.

"You cover me, Mr. Leviv."

Miss Valente on the opposite side shook the beam of light, and seeing Lynch also shook the 'flashlight' in response, she moved cautiously and approached the dark position.

That's right, changing the perception method might work. Lynch nodded and wanted to take out his gun to cover, but after thinking about it, he still held his cane and moved over, following Miss Valente closely, ready to hit it at any time.

But what to hit? There is really nothing.

As Miss Valente approached step by step, Lynch also shook the beam of light repeatedly in front of her, and nothing changed. The beam of light barely penetrated the darkness and shone on...

Hmm?

Why can it barely penetrate the darkness? Why is there always a hazy feeling behind the darkness?

No, there is not nothing there, there is darkness itself.

When Lynch realized this, he only felt an instinctive fear. Based on experience, he knew that this was the physiological reaction when he first understood the mysterious alien, but he still felt cold in his heart, as if a thorn was in his back.

"Be careful of the ground."

Restraining his instinct, Lynch only had time to roar, and at the same time, he swung his cane and smashed it hard into the dense darkness.

With a muffled sound, it felt like hitting a rubber tire, and a powerful recoil force far exceeding his own arm strength came from the cane. Because he held the cane tightly, his whole body was shaken off the ground by the force, slid back a few steps, and hit the stone pillar hard.

Miss Valente was stunned when she heard the sound. Although she didn't understand what to be careful about, her steps had stopped. Then she saw the whole process of the flying man in the air. Although her brain had not had time to react, her body had already responded.

A ball of light lit up at the top of the folding fan, and with a roar, a large piece of shotgun shells sprayed out of the muzzle and sank into the darkness in front of her. The darkness paused as if it had a substance, and then enveloped her again.

The light shield reappeared, and the eggshell-like shield popped out of her body, emitting a faint light and colliding with the darkness in front.

A wave of air hit, and even Lynch could feel it from a distance. Miss Valente staggered back a few steps under the impact, and relied on Lynch to reach out and hold her in time to barely avoid falling.

"Oh, Fiona, it's the Invisible Son."

Lynch's wrist trembled. He had heard this name when the professor talked about anecdotes in the archaeology course. It was said that it occasionally appeared in ancient ruins and was a very troublesome strange creature. Without thinking too much, Miss Valente pulled his arm and the two took two steps back. At this time, Lynch finally saw the enemy's appearance clearly.

It was a mass of translucent black matter like a sludge monster. The huge mass was slowly squirming. The volume was enough to wrap up several people, and it was taller than a person when it supported its body. This thing was a dark mass, hiding in the dark, it was impossible to distinguish it, especially it seemed to have just pounced from the top of the head, which made it even harder to detect.

Wait, the top of the head?

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, exchanged glances, and quickly changed positions again, raising the beam of light upwards at the same time. Sure enough, there was another one lurking in the visible range above them, just above their heads, almost pouncing down.

"You can't fight them head-on, Mr. Leviv. They are extremely powerful. Once swallowed, they will be crushed like those mummies. And be careful, they are immune to physical attacks."

Miss Valente looked up and saw that there was no enemy above her head. She stopped and opened the folding fan, ejected the shell from it, and took out two red bullets to put them in:

"Use attacks with additional effects, such as fire."

"Stop, it's best not to use fire." Seeing the noble lady's actions, Lynch grabbed her hand, "Setting fire will only make us live shorter here. We can't breathe."

"Then use acid."

Miss Valente didn't feel it was difficult at all. Like a magic trick, she changed to two green-shelled shotgun shells and stuffed them into the folding fan. She pulled the front half of the folding fan with her left hand, and the fan made a click of pulling the bolt. Her movements were as skillful as those experienced soldiers in the movies.

"Take these two. Unfortunately, I didn't bring acid bullets for my pistol. I'll bring some for you next time."

Lin Qi was a little stunned. He subconsciously took the two brown glass bottles handed over by the noble lady. The bottles were sealed tightly and contained more than half a bottle of liquid. What was this?

"Strong acid, just throw it over. I saw that there was still some space, so I filled a dozen. I didn't expect that I would actually use it."

Hiss, girl, how come you have everything? Do you want to use all kinds of props to smash all the monsters to death? And one-on-one, forget it, you have money and ability, you are amazing.

"Then you save bullets, I'll do it."

Lin Qi put away a bottle with entanglement, unscrewed another bottle, and rushed towards the squirming invisible son.

This thing is not fast, but it relies on its huge size to have a relative speed that exceeds that of ordinary humans, but its small-scale dodging and maneuvering is still far inferior to Lin Qi who has been blessed by the cat god. Lin Qi rushed forward, and took advantage of the mud-like darkness to suddenly turn around, and smashed the open bottle hard on the monster.

Then the bottle sank into the darkness silently, as if it was swallowed by a swamp.

Hmm?

Lin Qi was slightly stunned, and his footsteps stopped subconsciously, and then Miss Valente's anxious reminder sounded behind him.

"Above the head."

Oops, carelessness.

Lin Qi's heart sank, and he felt a strong wind coming down from the sky and rushing directly to the top of his head. He almost used up all his strength, trying to step back to avoid the attack, but the wind was already above his head, and there was no time to dodge.

Lynch gritted his teeth and held the bottle of acid at the last moment. He fed it a bottle of acid when it was swallowed. This was the last way to survive. But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared between him and Miss Valente, and then a huge force came from the beam and pulled him over.

[Power, protection, ability, protective grip. ]

Bang, another invisible child almost hit Lynch's head and smashed down, raising a wave of air on the ground, and Lynch was pulled backward by the beam, staggering to Miss Valente, whose face was pale with shock, and fell down with a plop.

Miss Valente was about to reach out and pull him up, but he saw his face change again, and he jumped up and pulled Miss Valente back, and at the same time, the third invisible child was pounced from above Miss Valente.

It was really dangerous. The two looked at each other in shock and saw the uneasiness in each other's hearts.

The invisible son who swallowed the acid bottle suddenly heard a sound of glass breaking, and then a large amount of acid smoke came out of his body. It quickly melted like a leech touched by salt, and finally turned into a ball of darkness and stuck to the ground. The two new ones were not affected by the death of their kind at all, and they crawled towards the two people very persistently.

How many are there? More and more is not good.

"We are here to destroy the evil god's clone, not to clean up the city. We can't fight to the death. We must find the target as soon as possible."

"Okay, the evil god's clone should be hiding in their temple of death, but I don't know what it is or where it is."

"I know, I've been to the one in Maya's dream. It should be the same as here. There is green light in the temple."

Lynch pulled Miss Valente's hand, and the two of them, one looking at the top of the head and the other looking at the front, bypassed the two invisible sons, ran out of the building surrounded by stone pillars quickly, and rushed into the ancient city.

It was indeed the same city as in the dream, except that there were no zombies wandering on the streets.

At the end of the field of vision, in the distance, a green beam of light emitted a strange glimmer.

As expected, both of them showed joy on their faces. The target was so obvious, which was obviously the best news.

However, Lynch still felt a little uneasy. Would it be too obvious?

As soon as the uneasiness arose, there was a rustling sound in the darkness around him. It was the sound of the invisible son crawling on the ground.

There were several directions. God knows how many were hiding in the darkness.

The pursuers had arrived, and the target was so obvious that there was no room for thought.

The two looked at each other and nodded. One of them held the acid and the other held the shotgun, and turned to the direction of the beam of light.
