Zhang Heng ran and leaped through the mountains like an agile cheetah.
The gunshots behind him had thinned out and became scattered until… they completely disappeared. Zhang Heng knew that the people who might come to help him tonight had already appeared. Therefore, he was the only one left for the rest of the journey.
Zhang Heng ran for a while more, and he saw a big man in leather armor blocking his way.
The man was holding a huge battle axe and looked like a Viking. He said in a loud voice, “I am…”
However, before he could introduce himself, Zhang Heng’s [ hidden scabbard ] had already chopped down at him. The Viking Man hurriedly waved his axe to meet it. However, just as the two weapons were about to collide.., the blade before his eyes changed once more. In a flash, it turned into a stab, stabbing straight at his open chest.
The Viking Man let out a furious roar. At that moment, he knew that it was too late for him to retract his axe to block, so he simply continued to slash down. He wanted to fight to the death.
At that moment, he had undoubtedly made the right choice, but the result was not as he had expected. [ hidden scabbard ] stabbed into his chest without hesitation, however, Zhang Heng immediately dodged the incoming axe.
Seeing this, the Viking Man wanted to continue swinging the axe in his hand, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in the spot where he had been stabbed.
The pain was so intense that he could not even hold the weapon in his hand.
Furthermore, the terrifying pain did not slow down with time. On the contrary, the pain that had only started in his chest started to spread throughout his entire body.
Zhang Heng pulled out his saber and looked at the Trembling Viking who was half-kneeling on the ground. [ hidden scabbard ] had always had the ability to deal additional damage to mythological creatures, but it was definitely not that powerful, therefore, this should be the result of [ hidden scabbard ] being strengthened once it reached a-rank.
However, right now, Zhang Heng could not be bothered to admire his own battle results. He could not even be bothered to follow up with another attack. Instead, he leaped past the Viking and continued to run into the darkness ahead.
This attack of his seemed to have stunned those who were secretly spying on him.
In the next 15 minutes, Zhang Heng’s escape was unprecedentedly smooth. He didn’t meet any enemies.
At this time, she had already run into the depths of the mountain. Even the path that had been trodden by those who had entered the mountain to collect firewood had disappeared. Zhang Heng had no choice but to walk through the thickets. He was truly cutting through the thickets and thorns, however, his speed did not slow down much because of this.
Just as he was about to run out of the small forest, Zhang Heng suddenly saw a light on a nearby hillside. Following that, the second light lit up. The third light.., the fourth light… until the entire hillside lit up.
Zhang Heng saw no less than 20 figures standing on the hillside with oil lamps in their hands. It was as if they were silently waiting for his arrival.
Zhang Heng finally understood why his journey had been so smooth. The strength of the twenty or so gods in front of him was, of course, far inferior to the six people from before. They were only on par with the Viking who was holding the giant axe, they knew that there was a difference in strength between them and Zhang Heng, so they did not go up to him to give up their lives. Instead, they used this period of time to gather their people together.
There were Old Gods and New Gods among them, but it was rare for them to remain united at this moment. They believed that with so many people gathered together, Zhang Heng wouldn’t be able to escape tonight.
However, Zhang Heng only paused for a moment before continuing to run toward the hillside, as if he hadn’t seen so many people on the hillside.
When he was about to approach the hillside, Zhang Heng suddenly reached out a hand.
The next moment, the gods on the hill, who were already prepared for battle, felt as if their minds had been struck by something invisible. Then, an inexplicable and terrifying image appeared in their minds.
Soul Blast!
Zhang Heng had used this move before in the alien dungeon, causing the alien creatures that tried to surround him on the roof to lose their minds and fall like dumplings, however, at that time, he had only used this move by accident.
However, now that he had been baptized by a series of nightmares, not only did it bring his soul one step closer to destruction, it also strengthened his bloodline power.
No, to be more precise, it was a leap! Zhang Heng’s use of this move now was on a completely different level from the power in the dungeon. Even the gods were affected, and the faces of the gods on the slope were all filled with fear, it was as if they had fallen into an endless nightmare, completely forgetting about Zhang Heng before them.
Even the most mentally strong person only woke up three minutes later, but Zhang Heng had long disappeared without a trace.
For a moment, the expressions on the gods’faces became extremely ugly. Tonight, so many people had worked together and prepared so many layers of encirclement, but in the end, if the target still managed to escape, no one would be able to accept such a result.
Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, the gods continued to chase after them.
However, when they all left, Zhang Heng’s figure jumped down from a large tree. He did not continue to escape because he knew very well that the entire mountain was under the surveillance of these gods, on the contrary, the place he was currently at was still relatively safe.
Therefore, Zhang Heng found two bigger tree holes nearby. He dug a hole next to the tree hole and buried all the props he had with him. Then, he buried them again while he crawled into the tree hole.
Zhang Heng looked at the time. It was now 00:23 pm. His previous ability to time-freeze didn’t work, just as the evernight goddess had said.
However, Zhang Heng was not too surprised by this. In reality, he had been waiting for the arrival of the next day, not for Hydra or anyone else.
According to the rules, every day would lead to a nightmare. Zhang Heng had already experienced the nightmare from yesterday. Only when a new day arrived would he be able to enter that endless nightmare again.
However, unlike the previous times, this time, Zhang Heng did not put up any resistance. He simply allowed the endless nightmare to devour him.
He continued to fall, and no rising air currents brought him away. He continued to fall into the deep darkness, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of the underwater palace.
Zhang Heng looked at the huge shadow inside, and this time, without hesitation, he took a step forward. At the same time, he opened his arms and embraced his final destiny.
