Unseen Opponent

A competent Player will always carry enough emergency food in their Inventory to last for half a month to a month.

Because Player encounter a wide variety of Dungeon, and who knows if they might get stuck in Dungeon for ten days or half a month, it's essential to prepare emergency food supplies.

For example, Bai Zhi really wanted to prepare a Paimon...

As a high school senior, Xu Lian naturally couldn't expect the other party to prepare a series of high-end emergency food supplies for the wilderness, so the food she took out... was instant noodles.

"Couldn't you have prepared something else?"

Looking at the two kinds of instant noodles that Xu Lian had taken out for him, Bai Zhi's gaze became slightly subtle.

"I'm broke. I spent my entire month's allowance just to prepare all this stuff... And what's wrong with instant noodles? You can soak them in water when there's water, and you can eat them dry when there's no water."

With a slight pout, Xu Lian then took out a Kettle from her Inventory.

--Any Item placed in the Inventory will remain in the same position when it is taken out.

"If you want anything else, I have some high-calorie foods here, like Chocolate, would you like some?"

"To be honest, I don't really like sweets."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi took the cup of instant noodles that Xu Lian had handed him.

But as soon as he lifted the lid of the instant noodle box, his gaze unconsciously became slightly amused.

Inside the instant noodle box, several white, finger-thick Worm were struggling in the boiling water, and within a second, they were completely dissolved into the water.

"... Something like vulgar hallucinations?"

But before he could think too much about it, Xu Lian's slightly nervous voice rang out.

"Um... Black&White, I think I might have encountered a ghost again..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Bai Zhi closed the Instant Noodle Box lid again, looked up, and saw Xu Lian turn her head nervously towards the Plush Cat.

"Those two people who were in the car before seem to have followed us..."

Pointing towards the Plush Cat, Xu Lian unconsciously moved closer to it, a smile on her face that looked more like a grimace.

"From my perspective, there's nothing there."

Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced in that direction, then shook his head.

"Those are things that only you can see. I can't see anything at all. Tell me when they get close. Just pretend they don't exist the rest of the time."

"We can't just pretend they don't exist, there's no way we can just pretend they don't exist, especially since they seem to be getting more and more terrifying..."

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, which were neither comforting nor admonishing, Xu Lian's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Imagine yourself, there are two Chu Renmei looking at you from over there, how would you feel?"

"Weren't they supposed to be two normal people before? How did they turn into those Eerie Thing now?"

The [Magic Type] silently slid into his palm, and Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I have a feeling that the things you've seen have evolved at a rather rapid pace... Where are they?"

As he spoke, Bai Zhi raised his Handgun in that direction.

"They're... Oh no, get out of here quickly! They've scattered! Their pockets, limbs, and torsos are all separated!!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Lian's expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly pulled Bai Zhi aside.

Boom--!!

It seemed as if something unseen had crashed into the fire, sparks flying everywhere and burning wood flying all over the place.

One of the pieces of wood flew directly to the tent next to it, and flames ignited, instantly setting the tent ablaze.

"Damn! I spent 5000 yuan on this high-end tent!!"

Looking at the burned-out tents, Bai Zhi couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"You're still worried about the tent...? That head's flying right in front of you!!"

Xu Lian hurriedly called out.

After witnessing the earlier incident where the bonfire was scattered, Bai Zhi naturally no longer believed that it was Xu Lian's so-called hallucination. Following the other party's instructions, he decisively raised his hand and fired a shot forward.

[Demon Breaker] + [Holy Light], plus six times the [Support]!!

In the blink of an eye, seven Bullet whistled out.

With the support effect of [Magic Type], his attacks are not single-target attacks, but true area-of-effect attacks, fundamentally solving the problem of inaccurate shooting.

Seven Bullet covered most of the area in front of him. Even if the first Bullet missed slightly, the six extra Bullet from the support were more than enough to cover the target.

Just like last time, none of the seven Bullet he fired hit any target; instead, they disappeared into the ceiling.

"No, their target is that half of the wall—"

As Xu Lian's exclamation rang out, the remaining half of the wall in the office collapsed outwards with a loud crash, following the sound.

This building was already Dangerous Building, and half of the walls had long been broken. As the walls collapsed outwards, a sudden Gale, accompanied by torrential rain, rushed into the room.

The fire that had been lit in the corner was instantly soaked by the torrential rain, plunging the room into darkness.

In the darkness, Xu Lian's muffled groan suddenly rang out.

"..."

His expression changed slightly, and Bai Zhi turned his gun around and fired a shot at a corner of the wall.

As the flames rose again, Xu Lian's pale face, clutching her right arm, was revealed. Blood seeped from between her fingers, but before it could flow down, it was diluted by the Gale rain that blew in from outside.

"They disappeared again, just like before."

Turning to look at him, Xu Lian, whose forehead was dripping with what seemed to be either cold sweat or rain, forced a smile.

"They scratched my right hand here..."

"We can't stay here anymore, let's go to another room."

Bai Zhi glanced at the other person's right arm and frowned slightly.

On the other person's right hand, there was a very obvious scratch mark. The freshly changed dry clothes were torn in half, and a large chunk of flesh was also torn off. You could even vaguely see the White Bones.

This sudden turn of events happened so fast that Bai Zhi was almost caught off guard.

After all, he couldn't see anything, had no idea where the enemy was, and was completely unable to make any effective response; he relied entirely on Xu Lian's command.

From the moment Xu Lian noticed the two "people" who had followed her until now, less than ten seconds had passed.

--They suffered a crushing defeat.
