Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 70 Shadow
Compared to the terrifying aura, the movement of this strange creature when it appeared was silent.

I saw a black shadow slowly "seeping" out from under the manhole cover on the street like a liquid - although it seemed to be moving slowly, it actually took less than half a second to spread to the buildings on the street and began to crawl up along the walls of the buildings.

"This thing sneaked into the city from the underground pipeline... It might be a strange thing of the phenomenal or spiritual type. It looks like this, so its actual size might be very large." Ye Jiu also jumped to a high place, frowned and said to Sun Hang, "I even have a feeling that after this thing is fully extended, it might be able to swallow the whole city."

Sun Hang pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger at the shadow on the ground.

"boom!"

The bullet shot out of the muzzle and hit the asphalt road, creating a shallow hole the size of a fist - but the shadow creature seemed to be unaffected.

Judging from the sound, the shot hit nothing except the layer of asphalt.

"Preliminary judgment is that there is no entity." Ye Jiu said again, "Then my idea is correct..."

Sun Hang noticed that wherever this shadow covered the ground, whether it was the ground, buildings or anything else, was rapidly "aging" - the tiles on the sidewalk weathered and cracked, the metal lamp poles became rusty, and the originally colorful billboards seemed to have been added with a layer of black and white filter, and all the colors faded away. The small moss advertisements posted on them became brittle and peeled off, and turned into powder with a slight breeze.

And right below where Sun Hang was standing, the McDonald's mascot doll that was pierced by the helicopter blades was now left with only its inner metal frame - this metal frame was made of lightweight aluminum alloy and was not rusted, but the surface was covered with a thick layer of oxide.

Sun Hang moved his sight towards the wreckage of the helicopter, and sure enough, the deformed cockpit could no longer hold the black pilot - because his flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only a white skeleton, which rolled out from the gap in the cockpit frame in pieces.

This scene made Sun Hang recall the images he saw on the TV screen when the first time-space anomaly occurred.

"There is no record of the appearance of this strange creature in history." Ye Jiu said, "At least in all the documents I have read, there has never been a similar description."

"Of course there will be no record of this guy." Sun Hang let out a long sigh, "Because he is the culprit of the time and space anomaly."

"What?!" Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows, "How can you be sure?"

"Intuition." Sun Hang didn't say much, and directly threw the Tang horizontal sword to Ye Jiu, "Try it with your strongest attack method. If it doesn't work, ask for support."

"Do you want me to go all out right away?" Ye Jiu took Tang Hengdao and put on his helmet and mask again.

"Use your ultimate skill now while you have it. If you die without even being able to use it, wouldn't that be even more frustrating?" Sun Hang said.

"Hehe...if you're scared, then stay away."

Sun Hang did not continue to argue with him, but flew to a farther and taller building with the mycelium. The Golden Arches restaurant on the street was almost completely swallowed by the shadow, and even the "M" logo that was a long way above the roof was nearly one-third covered by the shadow. The yellow paint on the surface was peeling off, revealing the rusted metal base.

"Use time and space displacement to throw other monsters to the cemetery in the south of the city, attract most of the attention of the Federation, and then sneak into the city through the underground pipeline network... Is this the battle plan of this monster?" Sun Hang pondered, "No, that's not right. Conventional thinking logic should not be applied to monsters... However, no matter from which angle you look at it, the goal of this monster seems to be to devour the entire Tianfu City..."

Is it to obtain something in the city? Or to kill a specific target? Or... simply to expand territory and squeeze the living space of humans?
"Take this thing!" Sun Hang was still thinking about the problem, but Ye Jiu threw something at him.

Sun Hang took it and found it was a heavy metal box. He opened the box and found a pair of Bluetooth headphones inside.

"This headset is connected to the military communication channel, which is also the only communication channel that can be used normally in the Shuzhou area now!" Ye Jiu said.

Sun Hang put on his headphones, and suddenly, a bunch of noisy sounds came out of the headphones.

The military communication channel originally had several frequency bands, but since all organizations can now only transmit messages through the military communication channel, each frequency band has to be responsible for multiple communication tasks. The frequency band that was originally supposed to be one-to-one is now as busy as a vegetable market.

From the reports from various troops, Sun Hang quickly understood that the headset Ye Jiu gave him was specifically responsible for dealing with monsters that invaded the urban area. At this moment, in addition to where they were, other urban areas in Tianfu City were also attacked by various monsters. Although the earliest batches of reinforcements had arrived, the number of hunters was still insufficient compared to the number of invading monsters.

What's more, the combat power comparison between monsters and hunters cannot be directly measured by numbers.

For example, if a pure physical attack hunter like Wang Xiyi encounters a spiritual monster like the Ghost Infant, even if there are a hundred Wang Xiyi, it will be meaningless.

However, the only good news is that the attack intentions of these invading monsters are not obvious. They simply "appear" in the urban area, and only a very small number of them have taken actions of wanton destruction - more than 90% of the monsters are still in a state of "wait-and-see".

As for the public shelters and densely populated residential areas in Tianfu City, they have not been attacked yet.

"Hello? Can you hear me? I'm the hunter Sun Hang. I'm at..." Sun Hang glanced at the road sign. "I'm at Jinjiang CBD now. There's a monster that looks like a BOSS-level monster. I need..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted: "Monsters have appeared in various areas. We don't have the spare power to support you now! If you are unable to eliminate the monsters independently, please immediately report the information you have obtained. We will record it and decide the order of support based on the urgency of the situation!"

"Forget it, you just need to tell me if the Weird Research Institute has been attacked... I'm worried that these weird things are targeting things in the institute!" Sun Hang glanced at Ye Jiu, who was holding a spear in one hand and a knife in the other. This guy seemed to have entered a state of accumulating strength - in terms of combat power, there should be few people stronger than this guy in Tianfu City now. If he can't defeat this ghost, then the support sent over will probably be of little use.

"The Weird Thing Research Institute in Tianfu City?" the man just said, "According to the intelligence we have so far, there has been no attack there. The nearest weird thing to the institute is seven kilometers away, and there is no sign of it moving towards the institute."
