Eternal Night

Chapter 243: Night Weirdness and Pursuit
(PS: Thanks to the leader Babaozhoubbz for the reward. I will add another chapter here. Thank you again for your support.)
Wu Xianxiao sat motionless beside the campfire, while the two women were trembling all over and almost completely squeezed on him.

"...You've even killed gods, so why are you afraid of ghosts?" Wu Xianxiao said speechlessly.

Although they said so, the expressions of the two women were still filled with fear.

Wu Xianxiao sighed and stood up. Although he was only a twelve-year-old boy, just by standing there, a sense of vastness suddenly spread out. The two women immediately felt the cold aura disappear, and at the same time, their inexplicable fear also disappeared.

"Supernatural fear." Wu Xianxiao said simply, and then stood still. His body and shape gave people a sense of majesty. Although he was only about 1.4 meters tall, at this moment he seemed to be standing tall.

The two women immediately felt at ease, and they sat together by the fire, staring into the night in silence.

Wu Xianxiao was also looking at the night. He was waiting for some monster to come out, but after waiting for a long time, he only felt the cold aura outside his martial arts will becoming stronger, but no entity appeared, not even a ghost or something like that. The whole night was silent and quiet.

As for the faint moans and roars, if you calm down and listen carefully, you can hear no sound at all.

But this situation did not make Wu Xianxiao feel more at ease. On the contrary, the strangeness of not being able to see the enemy at all made him feel uneasy.

Suddenly, Wu Xianxiao slapped his side with his palm. As his palm came out, the energy moved, the air crackled, and slight ripples spread, but he didn't hit anything.

There was a look of surprise on Wu Xianxiao's face, but he immediately calmed down and stood still. A few minutes later, he slapped the side again, still with a crackling sound, and still nothing came out.

Jiujiu and Daphne noticed something was wrong, and neither of them dared to say anything. They just watched Wu Xianxiao standing there, sometimes still, sometimes slapping, punching, palming, and clawing, but his attacks were ineffective and nothing was hit by him.

This lasted for dozens of minutes. Finally, Jiujiu couldn't help but ask, "Wu Xianxiao, what's wrong? Is there an invisible monster?"

Wu Xianxiao did not respond at all, as if he did not hear Jiujiu's question. He still stood there motionless, attacking, then standing still, and then attacking again.

Jiujiu and Daphne looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

They had enough confidence in Wu Xianxiao, a confidence formed from fighting again and again and from the fall of powerful enemies one after another. Even though this dream world was special, they did not think that Wu Xianxiao would fail. But at this time, they inexplicably felt worried in their hearts, and inexplicably wanted to ask Wu Xianxiao what had happened.

The two nodded at each other at the same time, then stood up and walked towards Wu Xianxiao. However, when they had just taken three steps away from the campfire, a thick fog suddenly appeared in front of them. They had only walked three steps, and Wu Xianxiao was less than five meters in front of them, but they could not see Wu Xianxiao in front of them, and the campfire behind them. The two were immediately trapped in the thick fog.

For a moment, fear appeared on both of their faces. They both grabbed each other's arms and did not dare to act rashly.

After two or three seconds, when Jiujiu was about to speak, Daphne suddenly said, "I transformed the source of demon blood! I dispelled this thick fog!"

Jiujiu's heart moved, and he was about to agree, but he immediately denied it: "No, this disguise can't disguise our strength. Once used, if someone sees it, it will make Wu Xianxiao's mission fail!"

Daphne was stunned, and nodded. The two of them stayed in the thick fog for dozens of seconds. She asked again, "What should we do? We can't just stand here forever, right?"

Jiujiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Wu Xianxiao is not far from us. He will definitely be able to find us!"

The two women were silent again and looked around vigilantly. As time passed, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the cold air once again enveloped the two women.

"whee……"

A sinister laughter suddenly sounded in the ears of the two girls. They immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a long-haired woman in white running in the thick fog. She disappeared in a flash. Both girls felt creepy, but they inexplicably wanted to follow her.

Daphne said immediately, "This woman's arrival is very strange. She may be the key to this thick fog. Let's catch up with her."

Jiujiu felt a little strange in his heart, but an inexplicable force made him stop thinking. He just nodded and said, "Okay, let's catch up!"

Just as the two girls were about to catch up, two hands suddenly stretched out from the thick fog, one on the left and one on the right, grabbing their necks. A strong force came over them, making the two girls weak and unable to move at all. "What are you chasing after?"

Wu Xianxiao's voice sounded behind the two of them. He carried the two girls to the campfire and sat them down. The strange thing was that as they got closer to the fire, the thick fog in front of the two girls immediately dissipated, and the surroundings returned to the pitch-black night.

Wu Xianxiao sat beside them at the same time and said, "Don't walk three steps away from this fire, or three steps away from me. This place is weird. It's not just monsters, but something more terrifying, curses, grudges, or memes."

Only then did the two girls feel suddenly frightened.

Just in a moment, they were almost tricked and attracted by the bizarre creature. Once they left Wu Xianxiao or the campfire, God knew what they would encounter in the dark.

Just now he was so confused that he almost ran away like a lunatic, which really scared them.

Jiujiu's whole body was trembling slightly. She immediately said, "But I don't feel any dead people or negative spirits around me. Those things are my food. I can easily sense them if they appear."

As Jiujiu continued to take the demon spirits, the demon blood in her body was gradually reviving. There were two sources of her blood, one was a nine-headed bird, and the other was a peacock. Both of them had extraordinary characteristics related to the realm of death, so now she was not afraid of the souls of the dead at all.

"…Not a ghost, but something more terrifying."

Wu Xianxiao looked at the darkness with a gloomy face. Even he couldn't tell what this thing was, and he did feel a little danger. It was obvious that the thing in the darkness was definitely not simple.

The three of them sat by the campfire. As the night grew darker, the strange feeling of weirdness grew stronger. Even though Wu Xianxiao's martial arts will was overshadowing them, the two girls could still hear whispers, giggles, or running sounds from time to time.

Gradually, when the time reached midnight, the cold air became more than ten times stronger, and even the naked eye could see some fluctuating fluctuations in the darkness.

Wu Xianxiao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. All this seemed to have no effect on him, but the two girls could not sleep at all. The occasional slight noise turned into loud thunder in their ears. Every time it came, the bodies of the two girls trembled violently. It was only half a night, but the spirits of the two girls were already tense to the extreme, and the slightest movement seemed to make them jump up.

Jiujiu and Daphne were about to cry. They felt like they were living a year sitting here. Jiujiu finally couldn't help but grab Wu Xianxiao's arm and said, "Wu Xianxiao, I'm afraid..."

Wu Xianxiao sighed and opened his eyes. He said to the two girls, "Cover your ears."

The two girls covered their ears in confusion, and Wu Xianxiao stood up and roared to the sky.

The roar exploded out of nowhere like thunder, and the sound rolled out. The strange atmosphere in the entire night immediately dissipated, and even the fluctuating darkness subsided.

At the same time, all the living beings in the city were awakened by the shock. They looked at the darkness outside the window in surprise, thinking they heard thunder.

In the most central part of the city, there is a huge and magnificent palace. Inside the palace, a group of people are sitting in front of a golden statue of Arhat.

This is a very peculiar golden arhat statue. Its head is not a human head, but the head of a huge three-eyed tiger. Its image looks very scary, with a human skull biting in the tiger's mouth. Under the golden body is a whitish bone lotus.

At this moment, the tiger-headed arhat statue suddenly smiled... a smile on the face of a tiger.

"It seems that your whereabouts are not absolutely confidential. Look, the pursuers from your world have arrived."

There were eight people in the group. Except for the skinny old man who was the leader, the other seven people all had anger on their faces. They all looked at the Arhat statue viciously. One of them said, "What do you mean by pursuers? We are official employees of Singularity Company. How can we be pursuers?"

The tiger-headed arhat laughed loudly, spitting out the skull in its mouth, reaching out its hand, and stuffing a section of the human upper body into its mouth and chewing it, blood and internal organs splattering everywhere. It said, "Why do you still have to act so arrogantly now? If you hadn't been chased here, I don't believe you would come to see me at this time... You have lost your Bodhisattva status and your golden body of enlightenment. The most important thing is that you are in the Buddha world, and I am in the vacuum world. You must know what it means to come to see me at this time, right?"

"Gatling Bodhisattva."
