It is said that as long as darkness exists, the Nightmare Beast will never disappear and cannot be completely eliminated.
For people struggling to survive in the land of eternal night, the Nightmare Beast is the biggest enemy and an eternal nightmare.
Of course it's also Xiao Gao's nightmare.
This sudden encounter with the wolf reminded him of the destruction of his village and the tragic deaths of his parents. He couldn't help but tremble all over and his legs were numb. There seemed to be something blocked in his throat, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.
It feels like drowning. The whole person is submerged and falling towards the abyss. The fear of being unable to struggle is so terrifying!
The eyes of the nightmare wolf were dancing with a passion for fire. It stared at Xiao Gao like a gourmet staring at delicious food. It calmly approached its prey step by step, ready to feast on it.
The nightmare beast not only eats people, but also devours souls!
It’s over!
Xiao Gao, who had cold hands and feet, realized that he was far from being as strong and brave as he imagined.
Uncle Qiu is right. With his age and strength, it is simply a joke to deal with the nightmare beast with his bloody courage.
A single lone nightmare wolf can plunge him into a situation of eternal destruction!
The emotions of fear and regret intertwined in Xiao Gao's mind. Seeing the nightmare wolf getting closer and closer to him, the teenage boy couldn't help but despair.
It doesn't matter if he himself dies, but what about his sister Xiaoying?
Without his protection, how could Jin Xiong let Xiaoying go!
No, I can't die!!
Xiao Gao bit his lip hard, his teeth tore apart the muscle, and bright red blood surged out.
The severe pain also made him wake up suddenly, and he subconsciously held the short knife in his hand again.
Ouch!
The breath of blood also stimulated the nightmare wolf a few steps away. It roared and jumped up suddenly, opening its bloody mouth and biting Xiao Gao's throat.
For a hungry nightmare beast, there is no food more delicious than hot blood and the soul of a young man.
But at this critical moment, Xiao Gao grabbed a handful of fire powder from the leather bag he carried with him and threw it towards the nightmare wolf with all his strength.
Fire powder is a powder ground from sacrificial stones, and the source of its material is rocks calcined by sacrificial fires all year round.
Every year, the priests of Dashi Village remove the stones from the top of the altar and have them replace them with new ones.
The removed stones are the sacrificial stones.
The fire powder ground from the sacrificial stones is a sharp weapon used by the hunters in the village to deal with the nightmare beasts. Since the quantity is limited, it is quite precious.
What Xiao Gao got was only a small bag.
The fire powder automatically ignited the moment it was thrown, and instantly turned into a ball of hot and bright flames, roaring towards the approaching wolf, and fell into the latter's mouth.
The nightmare wolf, who wanted a good meal, never imagined that the cowardly and weak prey in front of him would have the courage to resist, and even hit its vitals.
Ouch!
It fell to the ground with a miserable howl, its mouth and nose glowing with red flames, and it was in extreme pain.
Fire powder has a strong restraint effect on low-level nightmare beasts, otherwise the hunters in the village would not be able to hunt down the ferocious nightmare beasts. Although this nightmare wolf is stronger than those nightmare beasts such as rats, rabbits, foxes and dogs,
But he couldn't withstand the damage of being swallowed alive by the flames.
Its throat and mouth are almost cooked!
Seeing the dire wolf rolling back and forth on the ground and the blind cat encountering the dead mouse, Xiao Gao was overjoyed. He immediately forgot his fear of the dire beast and charged forward with a dagger.
Xiaoying's father once told him that the recovery ability of the nightmare beast is very strong. To deal with the nightmare beast, it must be completely killed and the nightmare beast cannot be given any chance to breathe!
Xiao Gao remembered these words firmly and knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he did not hesitate at all.
After killing this nightmare wolf, he will be qualified to stand on the altar and undergo the fire test!
Swallowing the blood in his mouth, Xiao Gao gritted his teeth and slashed at the neck of the nightmare wolf with all his strength.
Everyone knows that the best way to completely kill a nightmare beast is to cut off its head.
However, Xiao Gao underestimated the strength of the Nightmare Wolf.
Even though it suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, this wolf did not completely lose its ability to resist. The moment Xiao Gao swung the knife, it suddenly howled and jumped up, throwing Xiao Gao, who was caught off guard, to the ground!
The sharp wolf claws severely tore open Xiao Gao's right arm.
The short knife he was holding was thrown aside.
Xiao Gao's mind went blank!
He was not at the same level of strength as the Dire Wolf, so he lost his best chance of victory and was immediately in danger.
The nightmare wolf's eyes had turned red, filled with painful rage.
After successfully suppressing Xiao Gao, it immediately wanted to bite the little guy who caused him pain.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the nightmare wolf couldn't help but let out a low howl.
It hurts so much!
Although the fire in its throat had been extinguished, the damage caused could not be recovered immediately. When it opened its mouth, it touched the injured area, causing its tail to stand up in pain.
For a moment, there was no time to kill Xiao Gao.
Poof!
The next moment, a rusty dagger stabbed hard into the neck and abdomen of the nightmare wolf.
But it was Xiao Gao who woke up again at the critical moment and pulled out the last weapon on his body with his left hand.
It happened to stab the nightmare wolf in the heart.
This blow is fatal!
When the nightmare wolf fell, there was still a look of disbelief in the wolf's eyes.
The heavy body pressed down on Xiao Gao, and he struggled to push it away with great strength.
At this time, Xiao Gao discovered that his right arm and left leg had been torn open by wolf claws with several bloody wounds.
Deep bones are visible!
The teenage boy couldn't help but laugh miserably.
He was really lucky to be able to kill the nightmare wolf. If there was a head-on confrontation, ten of him would probably not be enough to kill the nightmare beast.
But Xiao Gao won.
However, he was also seriously injured. The large amount of blood loss made him feel dizzy and his body gradually became weak.
Under such circumstances, let alone returning with the hunted wolf, whether he can survive is still a question.
You must know that this is a wilderness shrouded in darkness, and other nightmare beasts will come over at any time smelling the smell of blood.
He will still have to die by then!
"Xiao Gao~"
At this moment, Xiao Gao suddenly heard a familiar call from afar.
He couldn't believe his ears and suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Xiao Gao!"
The sound sounded again, and the distance was even closer.
This time Xiao Gao was sure that he heard correctly and recognized that it was Uncle Qiu who called him!
He even saw torches shaking in the distance.
Before losing consciousness, Xiao Gao used his last bit of strength to grab the last handful of fire powder from his bag.
