Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 104 Shadow Interpretation, The Living Coffin Chariot

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, with only the sound of heartbeats echoing in my ears.

Focus your attention when you wake up in the morning.

As expected, this was the monster that had caused all the hunters to return empty-handed.

The moment it finished shouting those harsh words, the monster seemed to vanish, leaving no trace.

Black liquid dripped continuously from the cramped and dark carriage.

Hunter's Eye!

A glint flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, the surrounding spiritual energy surged more clearly, and his movements became slower and slower.

A wisp of spiritual energy, mixed with negative emotions, blew on the back of its neck like a banshee's breath.

It's a sneak attack!
clang!
Air Blade Swirl!
Chen Qi spun around to the left and back, drawing his sword and drawing a beautiful spinning slash in the air to block its double-handed attack.

After a crisp metallic sound, the Rift Lost One was knocked back several meters, his foot leaving a trail of black blood on the floor.

At this moment, Chen Qi finally saw the monster's true appearance.

Its rotting body was already shrouded in thick, twisted shadows, but it was still dressed in hunter's clothes.

Moreover, a long, worm-like mouth splits open from the neck.

Its hands transformed into two sharp, bright red mantis blades.

The aura of this second-tier monster is incredibly strong, with high speed and power. As a boss in a solo rift for a first-tier hunter, it is truly terrifying.

After his failed sneak attack, the Rift Lost One laughed and said:

"Human body... Interesting. Perhaps you can survive in this place just like me."

It leans forward, making a starting motion, and then suddenly dashes out like a bolt of lightning.

The speed at which this sprint occurs is too fast for the average person to perceive with the naked eye.

Fortunately, with dynamic vision, this was just a hamster's sprint.

clang clang clang!

Chen Qi wielded his longsword, parrying continuously, then seized the opportunity to stab the monster's mouth at the throat of the opponent, flicking it upwards.

The Rift Lost Ones, suspended in mid-air, were unable to make any movement for a moment.

Everything the other person did seemed so slow, all under his watchful eye.

Then, at the instant he was launched into the air, Chen Qi quickly sheathed his sword, assuming a drawing stance.

See through it, Ghost Fire Great Slash!
The monster's body, once again, was ripped open with a new, bloody gash.

The Rift Lost One slammed heavily onto the rusty car seat.

"That's it?"

Chen Qi said with a smile.

The strength that the Rift Lost One is currently displaying is not even enough to satisfy him.

At this moment, the Rift Lost One was crouching awkwardly on the ground.

It seemed that it had not expected that Chenqi could launch such a powerful counterattack in such a short time.

The hunters ahead fed too many kills to the Rift Lost Ones, giving them confidence.

Chen Qi once again held the black knife across his chest.

After more than twenty days of practice, he had absorbed a great deal of knowledge about Hunter's Ember.

He had already mastered some of the various techniques, such as the Slice of the Eye, the Great Whirlwind Blade, the Draw Slash, the Forward Slash, and the Gale Severing Slash.

I adjust my breathing at dawn and gather my strength into my body once again.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Instead of attacking, the Rift Lost One continued to speak:
"You...are interesting...you must...stay...with me."

“I won’t let you die… but I will tie you up… and make you feel… a hundred years have passed… yet you can’t leave the carriage and can’t do anything.”

It wasn't just words; it was more like a cold curse.

An unprecedented aura of shadow emanated from the Lost One of the Rifts.

It wasn't sadness, nor hatred, but a darker, more negative emotion:

despair.

Rumble, rumble! The carriage seemed to begin weeping incessantly!

In the eyes of the Rift Lost Ones, Dawn was still just a prey that had fallen into their trap.

"Something is not right..."

Chen Qi quickly stepped back.

"You must stay!"

The Rift Lost One slammed his hands down, as if nailing the carriage to thick wooden planks.

Then, it emitted a hoarse sound:
“Shadow Unraveling…The Living Coffin Chariot.” The moment the words left his mouth, all the windows and the massive doors of the chariot were instantly sealed shut with pitch-black ink.

The spiritual energy of those negative emotions instantly materialized, transforming into one thick, shadowy hand after another.

Chen Qi's pupils contracted, somewhat unable to believe the scene before him.

Liberation-type moves!
Essentially, the Rift Lost One before us is a Shadow Monster, a monster born from a large amount of negative human emotions, and also centered around a human body.

Therefore, its moves have many similarities to those of humans.

On the path to transcendence, mastering liberation-type moves is a crucial dividing line.

The techniques of liberation require extensive practice, come at a great cost, and have strict conditions for use.

Some powerful liberation-type moves can even distort space and directly affect a person's mind.

For example, the Flower Witch's flowers bloom in blood.

The names of liberation-type moves vary depending on their nature.

Generally speaking, the release of the Blade Style path is called Blade Release, and the release of the Cup Style path is called Cup Release...

He encountered a monster in a D-rank rift that had opened a release.

Chen Qi's mouth gaped slightly; she was astonished!
Under normal circumstances, liberation-type moves are the privilege of third-tier transcendents.

Only a very few geniuses can use liberation-type moves at the second tier!
A D-rank Rift Lost One actually used a Liberation-type move right in front of him!
Even in high-difficulty dungeons, this is an extremely low probability event.

Is this reasonable?

The entire carriage was covered with a thick layer of black liquid.

The Rift Lost One wielded his two blood-soaked, bladed arms like an elegant conductor:
"Hand of Shadows, go forth!"

Leave him here!

A series of tearing sounds echoed in the air as numerous shadowy hands attacked from all directions.

The Rift Lost's Living Coffin Chariot has three effects.

First, a continuous stream of shadowy hands emerged from the carriage, entangling the enemy's limbs.

Once entangled by these limbs, one will experience despair, and at the same time, the body will be corroded.

Secondly, the entire space will be sealed off by powerful imagery, making escape difficult.

Third, being in this carriage will expose you to a lot of negative emotions.

The Hand of Shadows continued to be created, and the Lost Ones of the Rift in the distance sneered as if watching a rabbit fall into a trap.

boom! boom! boom!
Whether it was underfoot, on the roof, or through the windows, shadowy hands kept attacking.

Chen Qi swung his sword to defend, but the attacks were too dense, and he could only retreat continuously.

Two fists can't beat a hundred hands!

"No, I have to run, I have to go home..."

"No, I'll die... I can't beat them."

"I must...run...out...I am no match for Lord Lost One of the Rifts..."

"If this continues, I will never be able to leave the train."

Chen Qi suddenly uttered a bunch of discouraging words.

A nameless sadness kept spreading through my mind.

Wait, why am I saying such discouraging things?

I adjust my breathing, stay calm, and feel the power of images surrounding this carriage.

In just a moment, he was already immersed in this atmosphere of despair, which is why he had the idea of ​​running away and the idea of ​​despair.

"I'm actually scared of something like this?"

Chen Yong bit his finger to stay awake with the pain, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, the Rift Lost One chuckled like a hunter watching his prey struggle.

It likes these sounds, the desperate cries of its prey before it flees.

boom!
A shadowy hand grabbed Chen Qi's right arm, attempting to break through his physical defenses.

Chen Qi gritted his teeth, his heart pounding faster and faster.

Despite feeling sadness, rational analysis showed that this level of grief was far from enough to kill him.

They couldn't even force him to reveal his true intentions.

Those lost in the Rift are the true challengers!
However, the aura of this shadow began to erode him.

We have to finish this quickly, or I'll have mental problems...

Chen Qi thought for a moment, then took out a blue gem from his backpack card.

It's time to use this forbidden item.
