Tokyo underground city

Chapter 53 Black Smoke Monster

As the gate of the shelter was fully opened, Lin Huaien heard a low roar coming from the depths of the shelter.

He felt Coco's strong desire to attack, but before he could give the order, the roaring monster had already rushed to the door of the shelter from far to near.

"Roar--"

The first thing to emerge from the gate was a head with thick black smoke. The head was as bare as a skeleton. Only the nose and eyes were covered by a layer of black skin, and the burnt yellow teeth were exposed. Outside, the monster's roar left behind fishy saliva.

Before Lin Huai'en could be surprised or disgusted by the image of the monster, the first monster, the second, the third... in the blink of an eye, five scrawny humanoid monsters covered in black smoke had already taken refuge. Rushed out of the office!

"Damn... Even if the threat level of each monster is only 0.5, if five monsters pounce together, it's enough to surround and kill me!"

Lin Huai'en's heart tightened and he pulled out the Huiqing Fury.

However, after the five black smoke monsters rushed out of the shelter, they suddenly stopped. They stared at Lin Huaien's sword with some vigilance, looked at each other, and distanced themselves from each other, as if they were afraid of each other. What.

"Are you smart? Are you afraid?!" Lin Huai'en was taken aback and immediately realized that this was his chance.

He used his best efforts to send a "Back" signal to the cursed skeleton, and then carefully retreated towards the passage from which he came.

Compared with the open space in front of the gate, the space in the passage is much smaller, only about two meters wide, which is just suitable for using long sword weapons, and will not be besieged by black smoke monsters because the terrain is too open.

When Lin Huai'en retreated, Coco cautiously bared his teeth and retreated into the tunnel.

Seeing that Lin Huai'en was about to withdraw from his control, the black smoke monsters suddenly became anxious. Two monsters rushed over, but accidentally bumped into each other and started fighting immediately.

As if disturbed by the actions of these two monsters, the remaining three black smoke monsters no longer hesitated, bypassed the two fighting monsters, and rushed towards Lin Huaien!

"You go deal with the one on the left and leave the rest to me!"

Lin Huai'en thought in his heart, gave the order to the curse, and then faced the two monsters on the right.

"The posture to attack...the posture to attack should be..."

Although Lin Huai'en had already fought hundreds of rounds with mummies in the illusion, he was a little nervous when facing two enemies for the first time.

Fortunately, he remembered the experience taught by the mummy swordsman - use thinking to choose the path to victory.

"Even if there are two enemies, it would be difficult to cause fatal injuries to me with bare hands, so we should deal with one of them first - then the question is, what kind of posture can make the enemy put down their vigilance, and at the moment of approach, Give the other party a devastating blow?"

While searching for answers, the conclusion becomes obvious.

The moment he approached the black smoke monster, Lin Huai'en lowered his sword. The monster on the left, thinking this was an opportunity, jumped towards Lin Huai'en with great joy.

However, Lin Huai'en's left hand held the hilt of the sword, and his right hand just pushed the sword lightly. The fallen sword tip bounced vertically from the ground, aiming at the throat of the black smoke monster like lightning. With a little force, he It stabbed right through.

At this moment, the monster on the right was a little slower and rushed over. Lin Huaien simply pressed the hilt of the sword, pulled out the long sword from the throat of the monster on the left, and forced the monster on the right back with a small slash. , then took a step forward and thrust the long sword into its belly.

The monster on the right clutched its stomach and wanted to wail, but was knocked down by Lin Huai'en with a punch. He pulled out his long sword and stabbed it in the head.

However, just when Lin Huai'en felt that the battle had been resolved, he was hugged from behind, and then accompanied by a strong stench, the black smoke monster with a hole in the left throat had bitten the back of his neck!

"Ah! Damn it!"

Lin Huai'en was startled, but because of the barrier of the black feathers, he did not bite through the collar of the windbreaker.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Huai'en raised the Gray Fury with some embarrassment, and used the weighted hammer on the hilt of the sword to stab the black smoke monster's head hard, smashing it until its brains exploded!

The black smoke monster fell to the ground, but Lin Huai'en was disgusted by the stinky brain. Fortunately, the head was still the vital point of these monsters. After being stabbed in the head by Lin Huai'en, both black smoke monsters lost their movement.

On Coco's side, although there was no way to deal with the black smoke monster's skull, the bite force of a dog was enough to bite off the monster's throat, causing the black smoke monster to be separated and naturally lose its ability to fight.

"Three have been eliminated, and there are two left..."

Just when Lin Huai'en thought this, he looked up and saw that the two black smoke monsters that were struggling together before had separated and were looking at him and Coco with a vigilant look on their faces.

"……acting?!"

Lin Huai'en was stunned. Seeing that Lin Huai'en and Coco easily took down the three black smoke monsters, the remaining two black smoke monsters no longer hesitated, roared at them, and fled back to the refuge without looking back. Place.

"...What the hell is this thing? It's so disgusting...Not only does it have no eyes, no nose, no ears, but it's full of stench that's hard to kill. It can even act, fight within, and run away when things go wrong...I'm afraid it might even be a sneak attack in the future. …”

Lin Huai'en has never heard that there are such smart ones among low-level monsters. It would be fine if they have strong fighting power. But although these monsters look like they are covered in black smoke and have ferocious faces, they are actually vulnerable to a single blow. The muscle strength and nerve reflexes are similar to those of ordinary humans, maybe even a little weaker.

"It would be very disgusting if you were attacked by surprise..."

Lin Huai'en touched the flesh of the back of his neck where he was almost bitten. Even though he was separated by Wu Ru Zhi Yu, there was still a deep tooth mark left there. Without the protection of Wu Ru Zhi Yu, the result could be imagined.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After wiping the remaining monster brain on the collar of his windbreaker, Lin Huai'en put Wu Ru Zhi Yu's hood on his head.

"Stop pretending, it's important to save your life."

Holding the Gray Green Fury tightly, he took Coco and walked towards the interior of the shelter.

When Lin Huai'en was fighting two black smoke monsters, Coco was bitten several times by another black smoke monster, but I don't know if it was because it was an undead creature, but it didn't seem to be hurt and was still trotting forward. Seems quite excited.

After entering the shelter.

Lin Huai'en came to a place similar to a hall. In the center of the hall, there were tables, chairs, folding stools, desks, wardrobes and other sundries piled everywhere, as well as books. They were scattered everywhere. Lin Huai'en just stepped on them. It collapsed and turned into dust.

"The chair...is also petrified."

Lin Huai'en touched the wood next to him. It felt close to stone, but theoretically this was impossible because the wood products were not buried in the soil and would only decay or become dust, rather than react with minerals and turn into fossils.

But this weird thing happened right under his nose, and the fossils that made up the seat had shiny crystals that looked a lot like rock sugar or sodium chloride——

It is also commonly known as "salt".

"Could it really be salt..." Lin Huai'en had a small drop of crystal on his fingertips. After hesitating for a long time, he licked it with his tongue.

As a result, the moment his tongue touched his fingertips, he felt a strong bitter taste and instantly spat out the fluid in his mouth.

"Damn it, it doesn't seem to be salt..."

Lin Huai'en wiped his hands, took out a tissue as a habit, knocked some of the crystals off the fossil, and wrapped it up.

He planned to find an opportunity to study what these substances were.

While he was struggling with the tables, chairs and benches, Coco had already run around the hall very dutifully, looking through the circular square that was less than twenty meters in diameter, but still couldn't find any black smoke monster.

"Another puzzle dungeon..."

Lin Huai'en frowned and looked at this chaotic scene, but he was a little unsure in his heart: "But is it really just 'solving a puzzle'? From the perspective of solving the puzzle, it is a bit too simple..."

The secret passage in the red crystal cave, the sword trough in the green crystal cave, the pool in the blue crystal cave, and the gate of the Salt 10 shelter are not so much about solving puzzles as——

It implies more internal connections.

"What happened to the mummy swordsman? Why is there such a strange shelter under the crystal cave? What does 'Salt-10' mean?"

Lin Huai'en feels that these things are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface.

"After all... dungeons are not a game. No matter how chaotic they appear on the surface, they still have their own internal connections..."

Lin Huai'en remembered a sentence in Wilderness House that impressed him very deeply——

No matter how unbelievable it is, all dungeons are still real——

Because they are "different worlds".

A "parallel universe" that is somewhat different from our world.

"The cursed person, the cursed object, the black smoke monster, the mummy swordsman..."

Lin Huai'en murmured softly.

What happened in this "Salt-10" shelter can only be found by him himself.
