Chapter 869 The Strange Red-Haired Creature

Under the red moon.

On the road leading to the city, two upright creatures covered in red fur were wandering aimlessly.

In Nightmare-level dungeons, you must not let your guard down when encountering any creature.

So when Gray, Lin Hui, and the others discovered the red-haired creature, they all found cover and hid.

"That's so strange, how could I not have noticed at such close range!" The young man in the baseball cap took a deep breath from behind a cover.

Beside him, Blue Fox, who had always been arrogant, was now very serious.

His specialty is [Spiritual Arts - Assassin], and he possesses extremely keen divine intuition.

But just now, it wasn't until Gray spoke up to remind him that he was able to spot the two red-haired creatures with his naked eye!

Behind the rubble cover ahead, Gray turned to Iris, who possessed golden eyes: "Iris, do you have any tools that can detect the exact strength of those two red-haired monsters?"

"I've already checked with the tools, but there was no reaction. They seem to be just like ordinary creatures," Iris said.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

These two red-haired creatures could shield themselves from their divine intuition; they could not possibly be ordinary beings.

The alluring Mara suggested in a low voice, "How about... we take a detour? This city is so big, there's definitely more than one way in! Since we can't figure them out, let's not provoke them!"

If you can't afford to offend them, you can always avoid them.

However, at that moment, Toby suddenly muttered something under his breath:

"Hey guys... do you think those two upright-walking red-haired monsters... judging by their size, they're about the same as humans, could they be our two teammates who haven't shown up yet?"

"What might have happened to them when they landed that turned them into red-haired creatures?"

"Shut up!"

Blue Fox turned his head and glared fiercely at Toby.

Toby shuddered in fright and quickly covered his mouth tightly.

But he couldn't help but peek out a little, his gaze passing over the edge of the bunker, fixed on a red-haired creature in the distance.

Although its red fur was so long that it completely covered its facial features, the proportions of its limbs and the way it walked... it really looked just like a human!

Toby opened his eyes wide, trying to find a trace of human features in that thick red fur.

Sudden.

"Clatter!"

One of the red-haired creatures, which had been wandering forward, suddenly twisted its neck 180 degrees and aimed precisely at the bunker where Toby was.

Eyes facing each other.

Although he couldn't see the monster's eyes, Toby instantly felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and his scalp felt like it was going to explode!

"It...it's looking over here!" Toby's voice trembled with extreme fear.

next moment.

"boom!"

The red-haired creature's body transformed into a red phantom that was almost invisible to the naked eye, hurtling straight toward Toby's location!

too fast!

Toby couldn't react at all.

He only saw a flash of red light before his eyes, and the red-haired creature had already crossed the concrete bunker and appeared directly in front of him.

The red-haired creature extended a sharp claw covered in red fur and lunged at Toby's head.

Toby's mind went blank, and his legs felt like lead, rooted to the spot.

He couldn't react at all, and could only stare in despair as the deathly claw magnified infinitely in his pupils.

"Sizzle—Boom!!"

At the critical moment, a blinding golden lightning bolt tore through the air from the side and struck the red-haired creature's outstretched right arm!

A blinding burst of lightning erupted instantly.

This ferocious attack finally caused the red-haired creature to pause for a second.

"ah!!!"

In that life-saving second, Toby finally broke free from extreme fear, his entire body melting away like mud as he disappeared underground.

The next second, in an open area more than 30 meters away from the bunker, the soil churned up, and Toby crawled out in a disheveled state.

He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, patting his chest with lingering fear.

"Thank... thank you so much, Boss Gray!"

However, Gray completely ignored Toby, his eyes fixed on the red-haired creature's right arm.

Lin Hui followed Gray's gaze and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

On the right arm of the red-haired monster, where it had been struck head-on by the golden lightning, only a small patch of red hair had turned slightly charred.

"this......"

Gray's face was extremely grim.

Although that attack was aimed at speed and wasn't his most powerful, charged attack, it was still a genuine late-stage level 8 killing move!

The bullets hit this monster, and they didn't even break its skin?!

Is it really that terrifying to just randomly bump into a wandering monster on the roadside?

Is this the Nightmare-level dungeon?

Leo, the youth in the baseball cap, and Blue Fox, the assassin, exchanged a glance. The two emerged from behind cover at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, forming a triangular formation with Gray, surrounding the red-haired creature in the middle.

Since the other party has already made their move, there's no point in running away. We might as well take advantage of our numbers and team up to test the strength of this nightmare-level dungeon monster!

If you can only run away with your tail between your legs when you encounter a small monster, then you might as well just give up on this exploration mission and wait to die.

"Let's do it!"

Gray's eyes hardened, and he roared fiercely.

"Leave it to me!"

Leo, the man in the baseball cap, was the first to attack. Without hesitation, he charged towards the red-haired creature and hissed, "Domain, deploy!"

hum!

A layer of translucent, dark blue divine domain, centered on Leo, swept towards and crushed the red-haired creature.

Wherever the chill passed, even the moisture in the air was instantly frozen, turning into ice crystals that fell in a flurry. A thick layer of dark blue ice quickly formed on the ground, enveloping the red-haired creature within!

"We did it!" Toby shouted excitedly from behind.

However, the smile on his lips froze on his face before it could fully bloom.

"Crack... Bang!"

The red-haired creatures were completely unaffected by the icy realm that could even shatter steel.

It carried a terrifying sense of oppression as it hurtled straight toward the young man in the baseball cap!

"What?!" The baseball cap-wearing youth's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly tried to retreat.

Just as the red-haired creature's claws were about to touch the baseball cap-wearing youth's face, a ripple, like a wave, appeared in the void behind the red-haired creature.

Immediately afterwards, a dagger emitting a ghostly blue light appeared out of thin air, carrying a penetrating force that could tear everything apart, and ruthlessly stabbed into the heart of the red-haired creature in the back!

It was Blue Fox who made the move!

He used the stealth ability of the [Spiritual Arts - Assassin] to get close to the red-haired creature.

This attack was delivered from a tricky angle, at the perfect timing, aiming straight for the red-haired monster's heart!

"Die!"

Blue Fox's eyes turned cold as he poured all his strength into the dagger.

This dagger is an epic-level item; if it pierces you, even a level 9 being will be injured!

boom! ! !

A dull thud echoed across the wasteland.

Blue Fox felt as if he had not stabbed a body of flesh and blood, but rather stabbed a piece of obsidian!

"What the hell is this defense?!" Blue Fox was starting to feel the strain.

The red-haired creature was not only unharmed, but its sprinting pace did not even falter for a moment.

Roar!

The red-haired creature retaliated with a sweeping attack, its massive claws tearing through the air as it viciously grabbed at the invisible blue fox.

"not good!"

Blue Fox, as expected of a top player with a ladder rating of 1393, leaned back beyond his limits in this life-or-death moment.

They moved away quickly, like an iron bridge!
