Chapter 336: The Nightmare Demon Getting Frustrated in the Underground City

"Nightmare Demons?"

Hearing my words, Bai Yu was also a little surprised.

She subconsciously wanted to protect me behind her.

After all, even as someone who had single-handedly killed a Nightmare Demon before, facing a Nightmare Demon attack again, she didn't dare to be careless.

At this moment, I looked at the Nightmare Demons on the dome.

Just a quick count, and there were already five of them.

There were probably quite a few Nightmare Demons hiding in the dark who hadn't shown themselves.

And the appearance of Nightmare Demons here was naturally very much out of my expectation.

The one I had resurrected and then repeatedly killed before had given me the intelligence that the Nightmare Demons did not attach much importance to this place, and that it was sealed off after they started to.

And that one had followed Ninglan Qiuyue down.

So these were...

So, either that Nightmare Demon had lied to me, or the Nightmare Demons had invaded this place by learning the path Ninglan Qiuyue had taken.

After all, they didn't have a Dream Rewrite Spell like me, where the dream and reality scenes were overlapping.

So if they wanted to come down, they naturally needed a passage.

Even if they really dug with their bare hands, who knew how long it would take those Nightmare Demons to dig to such a deep place.

"Little Han, let's retreat first. If so many Nightmare Demons join forces, their methods will be a little disadvantageous for us," Bai Yu suggested at my side.

"But with this posture of theirs, their target is the Earth Vein, right? If the Earth Vein is severed, then Ninglan New City will disappear from this piece of ruin."

"You want to save them?"

Bai Yu retorted.

"Just a sigh. This is their own mistake. Let's go, let's go and notify the people at the research base," I shook my head and said.

These Nightmare Demons were most likely brought down by Ninglan Qiuyue.

Even if they weren't directly brought down, the connection was probably not small.

It was probably because they had learned that the roots of the Earth Vein were exposed here that they had gone to such great lengths to come here.

As a certain branch of the Abyssal Demon transcendent race, even if the Nightmare Demons were at the bottom in terms of combat power, the knowledge they possessed as a transcendent race was not necessarily less.

They would understand what Destiny was, what the script was, and the impact of the Earth Vein on a world.

They also knew how important the fracture of the Earth Vein here was to Ninglan New City at this moment.

But analyzing it with the existing intelligence, if the Nightmare Demons wanted to seize the Destiny of Ninglan New City, they needed to do it during the transition between the old and new City Lords, when the Destiny was flowing, and then use the Ruin Ritual to seize the Destiny.

So at this moment, the Nightmare Demons had at least two reasons not to completely destroy the Earth Vein fracture now.

One was that it was unlikely to be the time of the transition between the old and new City Lords.

After all, the new City Lord's ascension was not marked by the driving away of the old City Lord, but by the inauguration speech and the city-wide announcement.

And the Nightmare Demon before had also explained some details.

The new City Lord needed to be in the sight of all the citizens before they could seize the Destiny.

After all, the citizens could represent the Destiny of a city.

If the Earth Vein was destroyed prematurely, then Ninglan New City would fall into the energy tide that was about to erupt completely.

Without the Earth Vein energy to counteract it, the city would be gone, and the new City Lord would be inheriting a ball of yarn.

Another thing was that if Ninglan Qiuyu's resistance army was currently suppressing the Nightmare Demons, then the Nightmare Demons could directly threaten them by attacking their home base, which would be a direct checkmate.

And destroying the Earth Vein now would undoubtedly be a direct mutual destruction, which would be met with the final counterattack from the people of Ninglan New City.

So either this move was a deterrent, or it was a probe, but it was definitely not a complete destruction.

And the subsequent actions of those Nightmare Demons did indeed confirm my guess.

They stopped.

"Let's go, to the base," I said.

But even without my notification, such a big commotion was enough to let the Earth Patrol Team and the people at the base know.

If they could still endure being attacked at home like this, then they were really something.

And just as we arrived at the base, we saw that it was as if it had been captured by the Nightmare Demons.

"Oh? These are... two more little cuties. They look like outsiders. What are your names?"

"How long have I been gone, and you've already taken control of the base?"

I didn't respond to the other party's question.

I couldn't be bothered to talk to these guys, nor did I want to know their names.

In this place, the only good Nightmare Demon was a dead one.

"Hehe, they're just a bunch of ordinary people who can't even tie up a chicken. With our Nightmare Demon's methods, dealing with these ordinary people is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"That's true... how many of you Nightmare Demons came?"

"Still asking these useless questions. Shouldn't you be worried about your own situation?"

The other party chuckled, her tone as if she were worried for us, and then, several more Nightmare Demons appeared in our field of vision.

In terms of numbers, the other party already had an absolute advantage.

"Little Han..."

"It's okay, Big Sis Bai, don't you trust me yet?"

I said softly along with Big Sis Bai's slightly worried tone, and also subconsciously prepared for battle.

After all, in terms of combat power and destructive power, we were naturally superior.

The only trouble was the other party's ability to travel between the dream and reality.

"Haha give up resisting. What? Facing so many of us Nightmare Demons, you still delude yourselves into thinking you can win? Pitiful outsiders, you can only watch us act from the other side of the dream, watching helplessly, unable to do anything."

At this moment, there was even a bold Nightmare Demon walking towards us.

"They're two beautiful witches. Witches... this is truly... a pity."

When this Nightmare Demon mentioned the word "witch," a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

But when facing us, she produced a strange pleasure.

It was the bullying of the weak and fearing the strong of a coward.

It seemed that the so-called Abyssal Demons had been visited by the witches, otherwise, the other party wouldn't have a trace of fear flashing in their eyes when they just saw us.

It wasn't for us, but for the word "witch."

"Pity? Pity what? Pity that you can't attend your own funeral?"

At this moment, I also took out my magic wand that I hadn't used for a long time and launched a fatal spell at the Nightmare Demon closest to me.

"Focused Fireball."

At this moment, I started with a killing move of my derivative basic evocation spell, aiming a blow at the Nightmare Demon's forehead.

The speed was extremely fast, so much so that the other party couldn't even react.

The scorching Fireball spell became extremely terrifying without the suppression of the great weakening spell.

Compressed into a point and shot out under the skill of the focused derivation, the high temperature of this blow instantly evaporated more than half of that Nightmare Demon's body.

Even the blood didn't have time to spill out before she was completely annihilated by me.

"Attack!"

I said, this was for Big Sis Bai.

Although Bai Yu was also shocked by my decisiveness at this moment, since I had already made a decision, Bai Yu naturally supported me with all her strength.

With a wave of her hand, a long blade was drawn from a spell ritual.

Then, an enhancement spell was cast, and runes circulated, finally carving themselves on the blade of the spell-summoned long blade.

Two simple slashes brought a chilling edge and killed another Nightmare Demon who had been scared back into the dream by my previous blow.

"No... impossible! You're not an outsider?!"

Faced with this development, the Nightmare Demon who was still clamoring before suddenly felt a chill down her back, but stubbornly came to this conclusion.

They were even unwilling to believe that I was an outsider.

"Wrong answer. Please have a Fireball spell!"

I rushed directly in front of the most talkative Nightmare Demon.

A Fireball spell condensed in an instant.

The scorching high temperature at this moment made the other party no longer doubt my ability to interfere with reality.

Faced with such an offensive, she could only retreat into the dream to temporarily avoid the brunt of it.

In the next moment, the Fireball spell passed through the other party's body perfectly and caused a violent explosion at the entrance of the extraordinary research base.

"Haha! So what if you're in reality... if you have the guts..."

But before she could finish her sentence, a hand directly grabbed her neck.

Feeling her throat being choked by fate, at this moment, this Nightmare Demon finally panicked.

"Sorry, I really do have the guts."

My other hand was shaped like a pistol.

In the next moment, a focused Fireball spell pierced through the other party's head, and then her body turned into a dream bubble.

"Come on! Let me see what you Nightmare Demons are capable of."

After eliminating this Nightmare Demon, I shook my hand, as if to shake off the filth on it.

Then I turned around and looked at the Nightmare Demons here.

In the next moment, the clothes on my body transformed into a set of gorgeous witch robes, with loose sleeves and a skirt.

Mysterious runes were embroidered on the witch's cape.

When the consciousness of the dream and the body of reality overlapped, this was the easiest way for me to interfere with both the dream and reality.

And the Dream Rewrite Spell I had mastered in the dream directly covered my original clothes in reality.

In the next moment, the iconic witch hat appeared in my hand, and I placed it firmly on my head.

Such an attire was the proper posture of a witch.

When the witch hat was put on, the image of the witch at this moment instantly stimulated the deepest fear in the hearts of all the Nightmare Demons present.

"Witch... witch!"

I don't know which Nightmare Demon said these two words with a trembling voice, which immediately made the previously arrogant Nightmare Demons turn around and run.

"That's it... you're choosing to run?"

Bai Yu and I were now chasing these Nightmare Demons.

The situation had reversed in an instant.

Perhaps things had happened too suddenly.

When they lost their greatest reliance, the helplessness after their defenses were broken would make them instantly lose their will to resist.

After all, it was more convenient to directly attack the other party's mental defense line than to beat them until they didn't dare to fight back.

And I raised my magic wand, locked on the target, dual casting in both dream and reality.

The spellbook absorbed magic power, and the most aggressive evocation spell formed the most terrifying firepower interception.

Whether the other party hid in the dream or was in reality, they could not escape the fate of being injured.

"Witch! If you chase us again, I'll kill everyone here!"

"I'm an outsider. Think carefully before you negotiate with me. Do I care about the lives of these people?"

"No! Don't kill me... no..."

Faced with the firepower coverage of my Mayfly spell and my relentless pursuit, the last Nightmare Demon, after a most sincere plea for mercy, still died in the dream.

"Witch... don't force us! At worst, we'll all die together!"

"The Earth Vein is in our hands now! As long as we destroy it, Ninglan New City will completely disappear from this piece of ruin!"

"And you will become the biggest sinner of the entire Ninglan New City! You will implicate those outsiders who came with you and have you all completely expelled!"

"What a joke. It was clearly you who destroyed it. Of course, I should kill you all first, as revenge for them."

I watched them head towards the Earth Vein.

Faced with their threats, it was like hitting someone with a sandbag, painless and itchless.

"Then you can try and see if they believe it! Those foolish natives will only vent their anger on you!"

"Oh, then go ahead and cut it! Go and try and see what the consequences will be if you destroy the Earth Vein!"

"You!"

The other party had never seen such a shameless existence.

Shouldn't they belong to the side of "justice"?

Shouldn't they try their best to stop their destruction?

This indifferent look...

"You can all try. Just now I completely annihilated five Nightmare Demons. I'll give you five chances to attack. After experiencing it, for every additional attack you make, I will kill one Nightmare Demon," I said in a flat tone.

"Oh, I almost forgot. It seems you have already cut it a few times before. Then I'm sorry, the trial coupons have been used up."

"You!"

"Can you only say 'you'? If you have the guts, then do it. See if the sixth Nightmare Demon dies when you cut the Earth Vein for the sixth time."

"You...! Should I say you're worthy of being a witch!"

The other party gritted her teeth as if she wanted to swallow me alive, but did not dare to make a move.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Damn witch, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have strength!"

"Sorry, with strength, I really can do whatever I want. If it weren't for you all attacking the underground city, I wouldn't even have bothered to go up and play with you. Otherwise, do you really think your situation is so good?"

I spread my hands and sneered at them.

"Damn it... I knew it. How could such an important place as the Earth Vein in the underground city be so simple? So you were here..."

"Aha, that seems to be the case. But if I say all this is a coincidence, would you believe it?"

"Hehe... the words of a witch cannot be trusted. Do you think I would believe the words of you witches?"

"Alright..."

Hearing the other party say these familiar words, it was as if I had returned to the Dream State Exchange Competition.

Had the reputation of the witches already spread to the bottom of the Abyssal Demon transcendent race?

Could it be that the entire void knew that the words of a witch could not be trusted?

That would be too bad.

"Then... the situation is very clear now. You Nightmare Demons leave the underground city. Otherwise, I can't guarantee when I'll change my mind and wipe you all out."

"Hehe, although we can't threaten you, there are many of us Nightmare Demons. Your threat to us is also useless! We will even use this Earth Vein as a threat. I don't believe you really don't care if we destroy it!"

"Are you sure? If you destroy the Earth Vein now... then how will you seize the Destiny of Ninglan New City?"

"You! How do you know!"

Whether it was the previous threats or facing the death of several companions, these Nightmare Demons were not as shocked as when I pointed out their plan at this moment.

"I'm not a fool. How would I not know? As long as you still want to seize the Destiny of Ninglan New City, then you will hope that this Earth Vein will not be cut off even more than I do."

"You're guessing! What kind of joke is this! We're worried about the Earth Vein not being cut off? How is that possible!"

"Is that so?" hearing the other party's still somewhat forced tone, I suddenly smiled.

"Then just take it as my guess."

At this moment, I looked at the figures below.

Such a commotion and a battle of spells had naturally attracted a large number of people to stop and watch.

They were the type who were not afraid of death to watch a show.

But what I cared more about was that the security personnel of the extraordinary research base and the people from the Earth Patrol Team had come over.

It seemed... they had come a little late.

But there were still people from the base coming over, which meant that the Nightmare Demons before had not completely controlled everyone in the base.

After recovering during this period, they had immediately entered a state of combat readiness to deal with the external enemy.
