Nightmare Light

Chapter 180 Night Wanderer

On the temple steps, the sounds of countless dead advancing converged into waves, sending chills down one's spine.

"I have a plan."

Lin Wang held a tree spear in one hand, transforming it into the shape of an umbrella, and said, "In a moment, you two will cover me as we rush out of the temple. When we're close enough to Huang Quan Gong... Cook, you should be strong enough, right?"

“You should be top-notch in the secular world—and among chefs as well,” Shi Xiong said briefly. “What do you want to do?”

"That's good." Lin Wang nodded. "Once we're close enough, throw me up—as high as you can, so I can jump onto Huang Quan Gong's head and communicate with him."

Lin Wang licked his lips: "That guy, although he is full of murderous intent and very crazy, as you just said, he 'occasionally' disobeys the orders of the evil god."

"This means that He can still receive commands most of the time... If that's the case, He should be able to recognize my white flame, right?"

Shi Xiong was slightly surprised by Lin Wang's plan.

A few seconds later, he said with an incredulous look, "You mean, in a bit, we'll rush out, I'll throw you in the face of the Yellow Springs God, and then you'll convince Him?"

"Yes, isn't this a good plan?"

"...Are all people from the North this crazy?"

“Whether it’s crazy or not, this is the plan with the highest success rate right now.” Lin Wang raised the tree spear and pointed it at Huang Quan Gong. “If I’m not mistaken, you definitely know a way to return to the human world—provided you survive.”

“I do know of such a path…” Shi Xiong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “Forget it, what’s there for me to hesitate about? You are, after all, a White Flame Walker. Even if you die, it’s my mission that’s completed!”

"Then you'd better pray I survive, so we can have a good fight." Lin Wang grinned. "Fighting me is more interesting than cooking, isn't it?"

Shi Xiong also grinned: "I still prefer cooking... but with such a good opponent like you, it would be really enjoyable to have a good fight."

The white cat suddenly turned its head, its vertical pupils staring at Shi Xionglue: "Meow, I'll fight you!"

“…I still prefer cooking.” Shi Xiong’s lips twitched slightly.

He abruptly changed the subject, brandishing his longsword: "In short, we must survive."

The three of them strode forward and rushed out of the temple.

Inside and outside the temple, the sky was pale and devoid of light.

Upon seeing the three charging forward, the laymen and the clergy silently made way for them.

They rushed out of the temple and into the sea of ​​the dead in the dark sky.

boom!
The three rushed into the dead.

Although these skeletons were grotesque in appearance and numerous, they were merely ordinary skeletons of the lowest strength.

Even a strong mortal could easily shatter it.

Lin Wang and his two companions charged into the horde of the dead like wild boars crashing into a field of crops.

Shi Xionglue held a sword and a saber, each blade flashing with light several meters long. As he swung his sword and saber, skeletons were felled like straw.

Not far behind him, the white cat twisted off a skull and started playing with it.

But even though she was having fun, she would occasionally look up at Lin Wang. As long as Lin Wang was safe, she remained engrossed in the Bala skull.

And Lin Wang...

“Fighting like this is too slow.” He said, holding a tree spear in one hand and grabbing a zombie in the other, using it as a warhammer in front of him. He swung it around and charged into the crowd.

Wherever he went, skeletons and zombies flew up, crashing and banging, actually creating a path through them.

"As expected of northerners...so uncouth." Shi Xiong sighed slightly, grabbed his sword and followed closely behind Lin Wang, covering his retreat. The three of them maintained this pace and rushed forward for several hundred meters.

In the distance, the enormous Yellow Springs Duke already occupied nearly half of the space in the field of vision.

"This distance... is still not enough!" Shi Xiong roughly estimated his strength and the distance, and shouted.

"We're so close, we'll be attacked by the Yellow Springs Lord!" Lin Wang said, but he didn't stop at all and continued to move forward.

Just then, a slightly surprised voice suddenly rang out from the sky, interrupting the three's advance.

"My Lord?!"

Lin Wang looked up and saw the enormous head of the Night Wanderer in the sky, surrounded by a bluish-white aura, swirling and flying around. He exclaimed with delight, "My lord, are you finally going to return to your great territory!"

Lin Wang was startled at first, then realized: This is, after all, the underworld, the home of the Night Wanderer.

He asked the Night Wanderer, "How did you end up in this area?"

"I wasn't originally here... It was Lord Huangquan who summoned me to fight for him."

The giant night-wandering god circled in the air: "My lord, from what you're saying, you're going to fight the Lord of the Underworld?"

"Yes, He wants to kill those humans, and I must stop Him."

"As expected of my lord! My lord, you must be planning to punish those humans with a more advanced and crueler method!"

The Night Wanderer's tone was excited: "Powerful! Evil! Our Lord is wise!"

“However, my lord… there is something I must remind you of.”

"Although, with your power, my lord, killing the mere Lord Huangquan is no problem, he was, after all, your most powerful henchman... Of course, that title now belongs to me!"

"Now, I am your most loyal and powerful subordinate!"

As the Night Wanderer spoke, his tone shifted.

"He is incredibly powerful, and a strong member of your legion... What if he accidentally injures you if we rush in rashly? Of course, I believe he can't possibly harm you..."

"But your killing of Him is also a great loss to the underworld..."

The Night Wanderer cautiously said, "I think you should just let Him kill all those humans... They're just a few humans; it's not worth having your greatness devise a plan..."

Lin Wang waved his hand, interrupting Night Wanderer: "That's something I should consider. You only have one task now—lead all the Night Wanderers away."

"Your subordinate obeys!" The Night Wanderer spun around in the air with a "snap," "However, if my lord insists on negotiating with the Lord of the Underworld, I have a good idea."

It said to Lin Wang, "I can take you directly to the top of Huangquan Gong. This is much faster than you traveling on the ground..."

After a pause, it added, "Moreover, with your subordinates here, in case the Lord of the Yellow Springs does anything disrespectful to you, your subordinates can provide support... Of course! With your unparalleled strength, you are destined not to need subordinates!"

How come this guy's skills haven't improved at all in the short time we've been apart, but his flattery skills have gotten so much better...?

Lin Wang mentally complained, but no matter what, he was still somewhat touched to hear the Night Wanderer worrying about his safety.

He nodded to the Night Wanderer: "In that case, let's do it your way—you send me to the top of the Yellow Springs God's head, and I'll go negotiate with Him... By the way, how will you send me up there?"

"That's easy, I'll swallow you whole."

"……what?"
