A legendary Nightmare Behemoth was slain, but the battle was not over. The Nightmare Child had no way out.
As the flesh monsters were slain one by one, Lin Xiao's heart also relaxed as a large number of flesh monsters were killed.
These flesh monsters only had size, but their individual strength was too weak. Although they were all tier 6, their combat strength was not as good as the Steel Golem. They were completely useless.
However, being relieved did not mean being relaxed. Now was not the time to be reckless.
After all, this was a senior Nightmare Child who was equivalent to a third-year high school student. It was roughly equivalent to a third-year high school student in an advanced institution. It was also one of the stronger ones among its peers. It had accumulated a lot of resources and had no lack of trump cards. It was too early to celebrate.
With the support of several relics, even the weakest of Lin Xiao's minions, the merfolk, had the combat strength of at least tier 4. Their overall strength suppressed the enemy and forced them to retreat. The Nightmare Child made several moves to deal with him or his minions, but they were all blocked by Slada and the Flame Lord. Lin Xiao's avatar did not even make a move.
After advancing for more than ten kilometers, the first flesh nest could be seen with the naked eye.
It was a huge flesh mountain over a hundred meters tall, surrounded by a thick carpet of flesh. The surface of the flesh mountain was full of wrinkles like a human brain, but also like a human stomach that rose and fell with breathing. There were long cracks on the edge of this thing. Every once in a while, the cracks would open, revealing pink flesh, and a flesh monster wrapped in sticky flesh film would slide out.
This flesh monster was about five or six meters tall when it was born, lying on the thick carpet of flesh around the mountain. Many fleshy tentacles like bean sprouts would extend out from the carpet and insert into the monster's body to provide nutrition. In less than half an hour, this thing could be nurtured to a mature state, breaking free from the dried flesh film and entering into battle.
It was like having an explosive barracks. Every half an hour or so, a flesh monster with the combat strength of a tier 6 on paper would explode. This was already quite powerful.
And in this Nightmare Domain, who knew how many flesh nests there were.
There was no need for hesitation. Slada immediately gave the order, and the Fire Elementals began to summon a rain of fire. A Tier 7 Elite Fire Elemental gathered a group of Fire Elementals to summon a meteor with a diameter of over a hundred meters.
The flesh lair gathered a huge amount of nightmare energy to form a shield to block the first wave, but it couldn't block the successive waves of meteors. Even if the Nightmare Child interfered with the first two waves, the meteors still managed to break through its defense and melt the flesh lair.
After this thing died, it left behind a crystal-like flesh seed as a trophy. After many subordinates handed it over, it finally appeared in the hands of Lin Xiao's incarnation.
This thing was called a seed of flesh and blood. If one could prepare a large amount of flesh and blood and place this thing inside, this seed would absorb the flesh and blood to grow and eventually grow into a new nest of flesh and blood.
The reason it was called a seed was because this thing was separated from the mother body. It was limited by the seed, and the maximum limit of growth was like what he saw just now. At most, it could hatch a flesh monster with the physique of a tier 6. It couldn't hatch a stronger flesh monster, even if it was a dragon corpse.
If there was a seed, there would naturally be a mother body. Lin Xiao looked towards the depths of the Nightmare Domain with great interest.
Four hours later, the scouting team discovered a second nest of flesh and blood guarded by a large number of nightmare creatures in another place. The wise goblin leader, Alemon, led a team to attack this nest of flesh and blood.
With the main force of the Nightmare Child defeated, there was very little resistance left. Most of the outer regions had already given up on defense, and they didn't see any decent resistance along the way.
Lin Xiao guessed that the enemy had gathered most of their forces in the center of the Nightmare Domain, preparing for the final battle.
The true body of the Nightmare Child was there, and at the same time, it was also at the core of the Nightmare Domain. Not only could it display the full strength of the true body, but it could also borrow the defense of the core.
Generally speaking, the core of the Nightmare Domain was the strongest defense. It was affected by the true body and had a natural suppressive effect on the enemy. There were countless examples of the weak defeating the strong and turning the tables in a desperate battle at the core.
Therefore, there would be a fierce battle to follow. Only by completely destroying the final resistance of the enemy at the core of the Nightmare Domain would it be considered an official victory.
As the Nightmare Child shrank its territory, the battle to conquer the outer regions of the Nightmare Domain went very smoothly. It didn't take long for them to destroy the flesh and blood nests and obtain the seeds of flesh and blood.
It was worth mentioning that as they continued to attack and occupy the other party's territory, when the territory they occupied reached a certain point, the power of Lin Xiao's God Territory began to enter the Nightmare Domain and began to suppress the other party's domain. The omnipresent Power of Nightmare in the Nightmare Domain faded with the suppression, revealing a gray world.
Under the influence of the nightmare energy, the main body of the Nightmare Child's domain was greyish black. Whether it was plants or creatures, they were affected by this for a long time. Even the iron ore buried in the ground was grey.
The resources in the Nightmare Domain couldn't be used directly. They had to go through a process to purify the nightmare energy inside before they could be used.
As the territory grew larger, most of the areas in the Nightmare Domain became clear. In the end, only the most central area was occupied by the thick nightmare energy. It was like a game where only the central area of the entire map was shrouded in a black fog of war.
Occasionally, scouts would be sent in to investigate. As a result, they found that the main body of the flesh and blood nest was indeed inside. Because it was full of nightmare creatures, they couldn't get close. They could only see from afar that it was a super mountain of flesh that was close to 300 meters tall. Behind the body of flesh was an even larger shadow, emitting a terrifying aura that made it difficult for the scouting Air Elementals to maintain.
After no less than a hundred scouting missions and losing a few hundred scouts, Lin Xiao roughly understood about half of the situation in the core area.
Combining all the information, he fell silent.
The strength of the enemy here was stronger than he expected.
In other words, the enemy's defense here was stronger than he had expected.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the biological defense pillars that grew out of the Flesh Nest Broodmother. The thick flesh pillars grew out of the ground and were dozens of meters tall. At the top was a huge eyeball, and the eyeball could still move. It could be used for both combat and surveillance purposes. Previously, many of the Sentinels had been discovered by these things.
In this core area, the main body of the flesh and blood nest was crazily spitting out large flesh and blood monsters. The speed of its spitting was much faster than the saplings. During this period of time, it had already accumulated about four to five thousand flesh and blood monsters. In addition to the previous ones, as well as the high-end nightmare creatures that it already had, there were about seven to eight thousand flesh and blood monsters that could barely reach the 6th rank.
Although most of them were just for show, and might not even be able to defeat a true 6th rank extraordinary creature in a two-on-one battle, the sheer number of flesh and blood monsters was enough. If it were a second year elite without the Extraordinary Weave, they might really be defeated.
After all, the other party was already a third year Nightmare Lord that was about to take the college entrance exams. They had an entire year's worth of accumulation.
A third year's accumulation speed was much faster than a first year's. In some cases, it was even greater than a first and second year's accumulation.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible to forcefully attack. He used the old method of summoning the water elementals from the Extraordinary Weave as cannon fodder.
In any case, he had already occupied all the surrounding areas of the Nightmare Domain, so there was nothing to worry about.
This time, he summoned more than thirty thousand water elementals. He summoned thirty thousand intelligent gnomes, twenty thousand great Naga, and twenty thousand earth dwarves, a total of seventy thousand subordinates, all at once.
The seventy thousand water elementals were divided into four groups, with fifteen thousand in each group. They cooperated with the other groups to gather at the center from four different directions, and attacked from the front.
Yes, the other groups were just support and would not participate in the battle.
His method was simple. Since the enemy was using such a shameless method to defend, he could also use the same shameless method to attack.
Every day, he would summon a wave of water elementals to continuously wear down the enemy's life force. He was in no hurry.
After all, this battle was related to the survival of the divine domain. There were no rules about his own life and death. As long as he could win, he could use any dirty method.
Reality proved that the shameless method was called shameless because the enemy was helpless.
He kept summoning water elementals to die, and when they were almost dead, he would retreat and continue to summon water elementals the next day.
With one wave of summons a day, the enemy's army of nightmare creatures in the center of the domain was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. On the sixth day, they had already reached the center, and the Flesh Nest Broodmother could already be seen with the naked eye.
The battle progressed smoothly, and Lin Xiao became more and more mischievous. In the beginning, the spawns were still supporting the attack, but later on, he simply stayed far away from the battlefield and sent the water elementals to attack in turns.
This method was quite shameless. Even if the Nightmare Child wanted to stake everything on a single throw, he could not find a way to counterattack.
At this time, the periphery of the core was gradually being occupied by the divine domain's power, and the Nightmare Child's control of his domain had greatly decreased. As long as he dared to rush out of the core, Lin Xiao would immediately know and react. In this situation, he could not even risk his life.
As soon as the real body made a move, Lin Xiao hid far away, and the Nightmare Child did not dare to rush out of the core. As long as he dared to rush out, Lin Xiao dared to surround and kill him.
To put it nicely, the Nightmare Child's tactic of retreating was akin to cutting off all means of retreat. However, if it was too disadvantageous, it would be akin to waiting for death.
Moreover, the other party made a big mistake. He did not make up his mind to take the huge losses and directly attack in one wave. Instead, he divided the battle into three parts.
When the two realms had just fully connected, he did not continue to attack because the losses were too great.
The second wave of decisive battle outside the core.
The third wave of stubbornly defending the core.
As long as he made up his mind to attack in full force in the first wave, he would not dare to say that he could win, but he would not lose so badly.
At the very least, even if Lin Xiao could win, he would lose a lot.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world. The situation of the war changed rapidly, and if he could not seize the opportunity, he would die.
The situation was like this now. As the battle continued to wear down, the Nightmare Child.
