Stunned for a moment, Marquis de Winter's expression changed instantly.
He was very familiar with the source of this kind of fluctuation. When the strangers first appeared, he had gone out of his way to get to know them, and he had also tried the feeling of being scanned by the special detection methods of these strangers.
But what Marquis Winter never expected was that he would actually meet these guys like Xiaoqiang here.
This is the perverse layer of the deep dream world! The deepest known layer of the dream world! It was extremely difficult for him to get here. How did these guys find this place!?
At this moment, he was severely disgusted, and Marquis Winter didn't know what to do after a long absence.
As we all know, a stranger never really dies. Even if he is silenced immediately, it is of no use. He is still exposed.
But giving up hiding and taking action immediately would be thankless. After all, the Nightmare King is still watching in the sky, and the city's shield is still in good condition.
While in this world, Marquis Winter's own strength was also partially suppressed. Although it was not as serious as the Nightmare King, it was still enough to make him uncomfortable.
Staring at the two players with cold scarlet eyes, Marquis Winter made a decision. Anyway, these strangers did not pose a threat to him for the time being, so the original plan remained unchanged.
So, he simply ignored the two players and pretended to be an ostrich until the end.
"Have you seen the panel, Swan? There is definitely a big boss hiding here! Maybe it's because the plot hasn't progressed yet, so he stayed hidden for the time being and didn't attack us."
"This mission should be considered completed. No wonder the reward is so generous. Should we go back now, Mouse? We have stayed here for a long time, and I am afraid that he will attack us."
What Marquis Winter didn't know was that the two players were also discussing in the team channel at the moment.
Indeed, due to the large gap in strength, the Ring-necked Swan and the Rat could not touch Marquis de Winter at all. The information panel returned by the detection also had a series of question marks, but what was certain was that the other party had a red name.
"No, Swan, this task shouldn't be that simple.
After stroking his beard, the mouse started to analyze the duck players with a wise look on his face.
"Do you still remember the original words of the rabbit? If the result is 'satisfactory', it will give us the staff. There are also reminders in the mission introduction that the rewards will be different depending on the player's choice.
That rabbit has a mean look on his face. If we go back without investigating the enemy's identity, he probably won't give us the staff.
"Then what should we do? Our level is too low and we can't detect each other's identity at all?!"
Listening to the analysis of the mouse, the fold-necked swan was a little confused.
"No... Ge seems to understand that the real way to complete this mission is for us to take the initiative and find a way to force the boss to show up in advance!"
But the mouse player seemed to suddenly realize something, and his thoughts gradually became smoother.
"You go back and report the news first, Swan. You only have two resurrections left. The risk of luring the boss out is too high. And this hidden map is likely to be resurrected outside after death. We can't all die here.
However, after completing the mission this time, I will get an additional 20% of the income from selling the staff."
Finally, the mouse player made a plan and sent the request to the other two people in the team who were not present, and gained the approval of others.
"No problem, then I'll go back first."
Nodding, the Neckless Swan no longer hesitated, directly blessed himself with the [Light Body Technique] and [Oil on the soles of the feet], and then left quickly.
Watching the duck player gradually move away, and feeling that the opponent was safe, the mouse calmed down and fired a fireball directly at the location of Marquis de Winter.
But what made the mouse helpless was that the exploding fireball seemed to really hit an open space without any feedback of hitting the target.
After trying several more spells, he finally determined that he might not be able to touch the opponent at all.
After hesitating for a moment, the mouse realized that he seemed to have only one last option left.
Once this method is used, he is quite sure that the boss will appear, but he may die.
Under the suspicious gaze of Marquis de Winter, the mouse took a deep breath.
"Can you hear me? You're a scumbag who only hides in dark corners like a mouse! You're dead!****
Marquis de Winter:
Finally, when he uttered the tenth dirty word without repeating it, the mouse died of mercy. Marquis Winter did not show up, but just used a little magic power to crush him to death.
But when Marquis Winter took action, some of his own aura could not help but leak out.
Therefore, Anvis, who was paying attention to the movements of the two players throughout the whole process, immediately obtained a lot of information.
A hostile ninth-level person has hidden his identity, has neither the aura of a nightmare spirit nor the aura of a trialer, and is a pure outsider.
But being able to arrive here at this critical moment and hide invisibly on the side of the battlefield must have been invited by either the nightmare spirit or the trialer, intending to secretly take advantage of the battle between the two sides.
Want to secretly do bad things behind his back?
So, Anvis used his pocket watch to communicate with the magic circle outside, and manually highlighted it for Marquis de Winter.
Thank you to this enthusiastic ninth-level passerby who brought his own dry food to help!
The next moment, with the thick dreamy thunder and lightning surrounding him, the unlucky Marquis Winter let out a muffled groan. He could no longer maintain his hidden state and was directly exposed to everyone's gaze.
Both sides were shocked by the unknown ninth-level man who suddenly appeared on the field. Duchess Lina was surprised with joy. She did not expect that Marquis de Winter would also be attacked by the rules of the world.
Of course, Marquis Winter himself did not expect that things would turn out like this, but this is not his biggest trouble now - the Nightmare King has set his sights on him!
"Is this what you rely on? It's useless... All resistance is in vain under absolute power.
Seemingly angered by Anvis's arrangement, the Nightmare King finally spoke for the first time after coming to this world.
Following its words, the overwhelming black mist of nightmare power emitted from its maze-like body. Like a huge sky curtain, it directly enveloped the sky of the entire Incredible Kingdom.
With this hand, the dreamy thunder and lightning condensed by the power of the world's rules that lingered on its surface became almost invisible in an instant like rootless water.
"Your Excellency, King of Nightmare Spirits, I am not your enemy. My goal is also to conquer this city. We can completely avoid invading each other.
Looking slightly nervously at the huge dark maze in the sky, Marquis Winter spoke in a deep voice, intending to avoid this meaningless battle.
Needless to say, if you don’t leave here immediately, I will send you away myself!”
Unlike Avis, Marquis Beshim, who was very familiar with Marquis de Winter, had already recognized his temporary ally. Because of this, he instantly understood that the other party was probably here for Fiona as well.
Without mentioning the fundamental goals of both parties, they are in conflict with each other. For Marquis Beshim, who has long regarded this world as his own backyard, it is absolutely not allowed for him to reach out to this world even as a temporary ally.
In the eyes of Marquis Beshim, the only real threat to him in this world is Winter, and Fiona's power of rules is still far away from him.
He was completely worried about keeping the Marquis of Winter here. It was better to drive this unstable factor out of the world in advance. When the negotiations broke down, the Marquis of Winter took a deep breath and took action as well.
He also has his own arrogance. Since the other party rejected his request to join forces, there is no need to show weakness. He is not really afraid of this so-called king of nightmare spirits, but he just doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
As the two collided, the originally dark curtain in the sky instantly shattered into a huge hole.
The blood-eyed mosasaur, the source of Marquis Winter's bloodline, is an existence that emphasizes both magic and melee combat. In just a short moment, it collided countless times around the huge body of the Nightmare King.
And with every contact, Marquis Winter's regular power will invade into the depths of the Nightmare King's labyrinth structure in a special form to destroy it.
