All of Sea Return City fell into darkness. Everyone seemed to become blind as the fear in their hearts was magnified countless times.
Even Epic experts with eyesight abilities couldn't see anything in the darkness. Apart from darkness, there was only darkness. It was as though it was an eternal night.
Ordinary people were used to using their eyes. They were already flustered when they suddenly lost their vision. Furthermore, there were countless monsters around them, but they couldn't see them. They didn't know what they were doing. Were they preparing to pounce over and devour them? Had the dimensional creatures' bloody mouths already reached their necks?
A large part of human fear came from their imagination. And this dark environment was the easiest environment for people to unleash their fear and imagination.
Zhou Wen didn't like to imagine, so while he used Truth Listener's ability, he also activated the Supreme Hell King Life Soul, allowing his senses to become extremely sharp.
However … it was useless … Be it Truth Listener's ability or Supreme Hell King's enhanced senses, he failed to discover any traces of Night Thearch. It was as though Night Thearch had melted into the night.
"Have you … experienced true fear?" Night Thearch's voice sounded in Zhou Wen's ear.
However, Zhou Wen didn't see Night Thearch. As for the night, it seemed to transform into a blade that slashed across Zhou Wen's neck.
Clang!
The Astral Shell Dragon armor appeared on Zhou Wen's body as he activated Absolute Defense. Even so, a thin mark appeared on the armor's neck guard.
"Absolute Defense. This should be a manifestation of the Astral Shell Dragon Companion Egg, right? You're really lucky. Although the Astral Shell Dragon's abilities aren't much, Absolute Defense is an extremely powerful skill. Even at the Terror grade, it won't be that easy to break through Absolute Defense. "
Night Thearch's voice drifted over from an unknown location. It was as though Night Thearch's lips were whispering into Zhou Wen's left ear, but when Zhou Wen turned his head, he saw nothing.
At this moment, the voice sounded in Zhou Wen's right ear again. "Absolute Defense is also one of the top abilities among the Mythical abilities. Back then, I wanted to kill the Astral Shell Dragon personally to see if a Companion Egg would drop. However, thinking that the chances were too low, I had no choice but to give up. I never expected you to take the Astral Shell Dragon Companion Egg. Unfortunately, the Astral Shell Dragon is only at the Mythical stage without much potential after all. It can't enter its Terror form and can't constantly activate Absolute Defense. It can only last half an hour at most. "
Zhou Wen turned his head to the right but still didn't see anything.
"Half an hour. This is the last time you have to live in this world. Enjoy it. No, a minute has already passed. You still have 29 minutes …" Night Thearch's evil voice entered Zhou Wen's ears like a demon.
Facing the pressure of death, especially knowing when one might die, that kind of pressure and fear was enough to make one collapse.
However, Zhou Wen wasn't an emotional person. He knew that Absolute Defense couldn't protect him forever. Instead of feeling afraid, he might as well think about what to do next.
Without any hesitation, his first thought was to run.
Half an hour was enough for him to teleport a long distance away. However, in the darkness, Zhou Wen teleported several times. He had already left Sea Return City, but all he saw was darkness.
All the mountains and rivers were shrouded in darkness. They could hear but not see.
"Do you want to leave? I can let you leave. "Night Thearch's voice sounded in Zhou Wen's ear again. It was so close that it made his hair stand on end.
After Night Thearch said that, the sky brightened where Zhou Wen was.
However, it was still dark in Sea Return City.
This scene was unbelievable. It was daytime on Zhou Wen's side, but the city a few meters away was dark. He couldn't see anything.
"Didn't you want to escape? You can leave now, but the people here will become my experimental subjects to experience that one in a thousand possibility. I wonder if there's anyone you care about among them? However, no matter how much you care, it can't be more important than your life, right? "Night Thearch's voice sounded from the darkness.
In the darkness, Night Thearch came to Hui Haifeng's side like a nightmare. Hui Haifeng felt his eyes light up as he could see clearly in the darkness. He punched, but Night Thearch's body was like a shadow of darkness. Hui Haifeng's fist passed through it, but it failed to injure him at all.
Night Thearch smiled and said, "What do you think Zhou Wen will choose? He's your senior brother, right? Can the friendship between the two of you transcend the fear of death? "
Hui Haifeng said calmly, "I hope he leaves. With his abilities, he will definitely be able to defeat you in the future and avenge us."
Hui Haifeng didn't shout for Zhou Wen to leave quickly because he knew that such words would only stir up one's courage. He didn't need Zhou Wen to have such courage now.
"It's really touching." Night Thearch came to Li Xuan and Ya 'er's side again. They immediately had the ability to see in the darkness.
"Do you think Zhou Wen will leave or return to save you?" Night Thearch asked with interest.
Without a word, Li Xuan released the Ice Silkworm, but it passed through Night Thearch, who was like a shadow. It failed to cause any damage to him.
"How interesting. Don't you wish for him to return to save you? Don't you care if he abandons you and flees? You once treated him as your best friend and best partner, but he fled alone in times of danger. How tragic. "Night Thearch's voice sounded in the trio's ears.
"If it were me, I would definitely return to save you. Even if we have to live and die together. What will Zhou Wen choose? "Night Thearch continued.
Outside Sea Return City, Zhou Wen stared at the dark and lightless city with a frown.
"Do you want to escape or not? I'll give you three more seconds. If you don't want to escape, return to the darkness. "Night Thearch's voice sounded from the darkness again." One … Two … Three … "
When Night Thearch counted to three, Zhou Wen turned around and flew away, quickly disappearing.
In the dark Sea Return City, Night Thearch gloated at Hui Haifeng and company. "What a pity. From the looks of it, your companion isn't reliable. Between survival and your friendship, he chose to live."
"So what?" Li Xuan suddenly said as he glanced at the depressed Ya 'er in his arms.
"Don't you feel abandoned at all?" Night Thearch looked at Li Xuan with interest.
"Of course. Old Zhou is a bastard. I wish I could slice him a thousand times, but unfortunately, I might not have such a chance." Li Xuan stroked Ya 'er's head and said, "Zhou Wen is a bastard like me. If it were just us here, he definitely wouldn't have returned. However, there's still the little princess he cares about the most here, so he will definitely return. Don't you think so? Ya 'er. "
Ya 'er was taken aback. Her disappointed expression gradually disappeared as her eyes became determined. She nodded heavily.
"Li Xuan." Hui Haifeng frowned slightly.
However, Li Xuan waved his hand. "I know what you mean, but a bastard knows a bastard the best. Compared to letting others know that he will return, he will care more about Ya 'er's feelings. We understand some things, but Ya 'er is still young. We can't let her be traumatized. Even if she dies, she should leave happily. "
