This time, the shadow retreated several steps, but then launched an even fiercer attack.
The long pestle made a whistling sound as it rubbed against the air!
The current setbacks do not mean that this monster is weak; on the contrary, they mean that it is extremely strong. Although it may not be comparable to some mythological figures, its ability to be difficult for ordinary people to detect means that it is invincible even when facing an army, as long as it cannot find the statue.
If this were any of the monsters the others had faced before, they would have been killed by gunfire, but not only did it survive, it could still move.
On the other side, Xiangzi, enduring the injury to her foot, ran quickly, waving her sickle to drive away the swarm of insects, the light from her headlamp flickering as she ran.
By this time, she had multiple injuries, the places where she had been bitten by poisonous insects were swollen high, and the blood on her feet had soaked through her white socks.
However, she did not back down.
She would never, and did not want to, simply follow a few people and play a role in terms of numbers.
If that were the case, she would feel that being able to get food after the war was out of pity from her comrades, and she didn't need pity! Nor did she want to be treated as a burden.
So even though she was tormented by these unprecedented pains and the hunger in her stomach, she still forced herself to think.
Following the scent, she climbed a flight of stairs. Although there were no lights, she knew the thing was at the end of the stairs.
However, as she was moving forward, something suddenly fell from the sky and drooped down on her.
She felt a wet, cold touch on her unprotected neck, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be snakes that live in the city.
Snakes fell from the trees like rain, their fangs, laden with various venoms, biting down and injecting their own toxins.
Suppressing his urge to scream, Xiangzi gritted his teeth and began to sprint upwards.
Halfway there, I saw several large cylinders rolling down the stairs!
There are people up there! And they've even set a trap!
Xiangzi immediately realized this and tried to hide.
But the next moment she was knocked down onto the steps.
The familiar crimson color before her eyes turned into blood, and the pain throughout her body made her numb.
"I...can't!"
With trembling hands, Xiangzi drew his pistol and, in a state of extreme fear, pulled the trigger against his own head.
Now is the best opportunity. The Buddha Mother is entangled with those people. If they can't reach the top, they will be sent back to the square. They will have made no progress and wasted some equipment.
Even knowing you won't die, it takes immense courage for a person to pull out one of their own fingernails, let alone kill someone.
The pain was unbearable for a human being, and Xiangzi's last act of mercy towards himself was to use a gun.
"boom!"
Toyokawa Shoko is dead...
Xiangzi's death has a special mechanism that allows her to quickly revive as long as she is close to the campfire.
However, Xiangzi himself didn't know if the distance was enough, but in his previous state, he felt like he couldn't move his hands and feet, so it didn't matter whether he died or not.
The straight-line distance between her and Kerry was about 40 meters at this moment, and a cherry-colored flame flashed by.
She reopened her eyes, but she could clearly feel that the recovery speed of her injuries was much slower than before when she was about ten meters away from Kerry.
She understood that the distance only affected her recovery efficiency, and that being hundreds of meters apart might mean that even if she woke up, she might not be able to recover.
She gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face from the excruciating pain throughout her body, but she got up again and started running upwards.
“Aaa!”
Sensing an approaching threat, the Buddha Mother had no time to care about the people below her. She transformed into a shadow and rushed straight to the steps.
However, this also created an opportunity for the three people below.
Kirito rushed over from the entrance, carrying Kazuma's bag.
Just before they arrived, he threw it at Kazuma.
"puff!"
Kazuma took the bag, took out hairspray and a lighter, and returned Kerry's gun to Kerry.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
As the windproof lighter was lit, hairspray sprayed out from behind.
Suddenly, a bright flame flashed in the dark park.
Kirito turned to face the oncoming pack of dogs. With no view, he simply closed his eyes to minimize distractions and figure out his direction.
Like darkness attacked by the Heavenly Martial Killing Path and the Divine Path, like a dancer in the Cold Rift Valley wielding swords against enemies much shorter than herself.
Meanwhile, Xiangzi, who was facing the shadows above, also turned around and slid, but her physical abilities were far inferior to those of the others who had undergone multiple enhancements.
He was knocked to the ground by a vajra that came from below.
Even the small sickle was knocked away.
But seeing the flames flickering below the steps, she fearlessly faced the blood-soaked face, letting her blood soak into her pistol, and fired three shots.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ao! Ahhhhh! Your name! Your name!"
The monster reached out a hand, grabbed the pistol, and flung it around. Then, it actually lifted up all the magical artifacts behind it.
"Your name! If you don't tell me, I'll smash every bone in your body! I'll peel off every inch of your skin! I'll torture you as many times as you recover!"
Your appearance will age, and everything about you will disappear!
It spoke! That thing actually expressed its clear intentions, and the next moment, the hundreds of strange hands were already poised to pull out Toyokawa Shoko's fingernails.
Come on! Hahahaha!
Because he encountered the same situation again, Xiangzi instinctively began to use the same attitude he had towards danger before.
His lips curled up like a madman's, and his wide golden eyes stared madly at the monster before him.
The Buddha Mother seemed stunned for a moment by this, before picking up her things to get started.
But it was too late!
"Bang! Bang!"
Kerry pulled the trigger repeatedly from behind and upwards!
Don't underestimate the range of firearms!
After being hit repeatedly, it was clearly struggling to hold on.
Kazuna raised a makeshift flamethrower, which engulfed the flying insects in flames.
The insects, still glowing with sparks, were flapping their wings with all their might, resembling golden-red butterflies in the air. The burnt fragments that fell from their bodies were red specks of light.
Before them lay brutal and terrifying monsters, and over there were their teammates arriving to provide support.
For some reason, Toyokawa Shoko found this scene incredibly romantic.
So she didn't intend to sit idly by. Since her hands were unusable, she kicked out and struck the shadow.
However, she was met with a furious slash from the monster, which tore a large gash in her body at the waist, and the familiar feeling of death was approaching.
However, she was also moved, but she just squinted her golden eyes at the thing and continued to smile.
"Hahaha! This is the last time you'll kill me."
"Oh no, the new girl seems to have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."
Kazuma shook his hairspray up and down while speaking to Kerry with some concern.
123
Chapter 123: The End of the Long Night.
After Kirito killed all the stray dogs that were chasing him, Kerry and the other two arrived in front of the shadowy figure.
Finally, all four of them reached the top of the steps.
It seems that the traps above have been exhausted, and the evil god has changed his strategy.
It released Xiangzi and chose to guard the high ground, where there were several other armed men.
The four ran down the slope, but at that moment the shadow did something extremely unusual.
With its countless hands, it grabbed the heads of those who had set up traps at the top of the slope, then twisted them off one by one and threw them down.
Generally, once the BOSS starts slaughtering its companions, it means something is about to happen.
Kazuma called out.
"Oh no! It's about to enter its second phase!"
Only Xiangzi, who had been resurrected, didn't cause any trouble. He stumbled and picked up his small sickle, while the other three were shocked and quickened their pace.
However, the change had already begun. The shadowy figure had four hands placed in front of it, just like the Four-Armed Queen Lani, but the sound of chanting came from its mouthless face.
The words that were previously only recited by believers were now uttered from the mouths of those being worshipped. The dark shadow seemed to solidify more, and although the wounds on its body could not be healed, it now displayed a completely new appearance.
The shadow grew larger and larger until it truly resembled those enormous Buddha statues.
It is about three meters high at a glance.
At this moment, the thing no longer resembled a wandering ghost; it actually possessed a rather dignified and solemn appearance.
The burnt-out incense and candles behind him turned back into flames, the withered and emaciated skin became plump, the limbs twisted and grew strangely, and the dark holes writhed as if they were breathing.
A flock of black crows obscured the moonlight, swarms of insects danced in the air, centipedes and frogs crawled on the ground, and millipedes covered the mountain path.
Only beside His image can He exert all His power.
It is no longer about being scattered when taking action outside, but about being united.
It seemed as if countless chanting voices were rising in the mountains, as if all the souls who had offered their names since His appearance were bound here by the chains in His hands, chanting His name—more than a hundred people in total.
Those who reached the top of the stairs could see that behind the little giant was a Buddhist shrine. The gate, which should have been tightly closed, was strangely open, and the golden statue sat inside. Red curtains on both sides glowed, and incense smoke rose from the incense burner in front of the shrine like smoke.
Wow, that's amazing! Just looking at it gives me an overwhelming sense of power.
