The wilderness under the night is dark.

But Eliza clearly saw a darker and slender shadow from the corner of her eyes.

This is……

It is flexible and looks like a living tentacle.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's words were like a flash of lightning passing through her mind

Eliza suddenly shouted like crazy, "It's really the touch of death!!! It has discovered us, hurry up!"

With Eliza's crazy shouting, in a world that only the Spirits could observe, the direction close to Green City boiled, and countless black tentacles that emitted the unknown aura of death flew wildly, chasing them.

In just less than a few dozen seconds, the outermost black tentacles were almost less than a hundred meters away from the slowest running team member.

The fear in his heart and his exhausted body after running from a distance made the young girl who looked only in her twenties unable to hold on anymore. She staggered and fell to the ground. She struggled for a few times but couldn't get up again.

"Eliza, you're crazy!"

Bar suddenly saw Eliza let go of the crystal ball boy's wrist, turned around and rushed towards the back, and couldn't help but yelling loudly.

"I have to save her!"

Elisabe bit her lower lip tightly, raised her hands, and touched her temples on both sides with her left and right thumbs. At this moment, her whole body suddenly seemed a little illusory.

"Shield of Glory!"

Eliza screamed, her long golden hair flew up, and an illusory golden shield formed several meters in front of her.

The wide shield blocked her and her teammates, and less than fifty meters forward, it was already flying black tentacles.

"I need to block it!"

"I should be able to block it!"

"I can definitely block it!"

"I have to be able to block it!"

"Betty, you stupid x, why don't you get up and run yet??"

Eliza watched countless black tentacles surge, and she couldn't help but cry with all her strength, "I, I can't block it!!!"

"I can't get up..."

Betty raised her head with a desperate look on her wrists and ankles, and at some point, four thin black tentacles that were almost undetectable were tied to them, locking them firmly in place.

The next moment.

With a crisp click.

The golden shield that Eliza supported was penetrated by more than ten black tentacles.

Immediately afterwards, more tentacles entangled towards the two of them from all directions.

"The mental power is substantive!"

"It's over!"

Eliza squirted out a mouthful of blood, her hands and feet were soft and she closed her eyes with a wry smile.

But the two of them waited for at least ten seconds in despair, but strangely did not wait for the arrival of death.

They opened their eyes in disbelief, but were surprised to find that all the black tentacles were retreating like a tide, and soon completely retreated back to the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

"Sister Eliza, what's going on?"

Betty struggled to get up from the ground, stroking the wounds left on her wrist with lingering fear.

"I don't know either. It was the first time I saw the Touch of Death. I don't know why it gave up its prey that had reached its mouth and left directly."

Eliza took a deep breath and bit her lower lip and said, "Maybe, it discovered new, larger prey that needs to be hunted down, so it disdained us..."

"A prey that is larger and more conspicuous than us?" Betty's eyes widened, with a skeptical expression. "For these guys, are there any prey that is more valuable than us spiritists?"

"Who knows, the most important thing is that we survive for the time being, aren't we?"

“That’s right.”

Betty was about to continue speaking, but suddenly shut up, as if he had been strangled by someone's neck, and could only make hissing sounds in his throat.

“There…Green City…”

She moaned and almost cried, "The mental pressure that burst out there... Oh my God, what is it doing there!?"

"Let's go!" Eliza grabbed Betty's wrist and ran in the opposite direction without looking back.

After the talking black tentacle left, the Nightmare Knight stopped talking and no longer made any moves, just like a sculpture that had been silent for countless years, and would continue to remain silent.

Every moment, thousands of black knights surged out of the darkness behind it, rushing towards the direction where the nightmare maze was like a tide.

In the increasingly larger and larger pit before the nightmare maze, the mental fluctuations of the strange living body did not disappear or weaken. On the contrary, as the Black Knight continued to attack, its mental fluctuations were slowly rising with a stable trend.

"Relying on the number of ordinary black knights, the plan to consume his mental power has lost its effect. Unexpectedly, in just one day, he became much stronger than before."

The Nightmare Knight raised the mask on the bloody helmet, revealing a face with no facial features and only a black vortex.

"If this trend continues, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Then, I have to be more serious."

Swish...

The densely packed ordinary black knight retreated like a tide, and the nightmare maze and the clearings in front of it once again returned to peace.

After a few breaths, the deadly silence was broken again.

Countless knights wearing blood-colored armor, their bodies and equipment were exactly the same as those of the previous Black Knights, but their breath was even more gloomy and terrifying, and they showed their figures from the darkness and charged towards the Nightmare Maze.

This time, they did not separate part of them and entered the nightmare maze, but all rushed to the large pit in front of the maze with a diameter of more than 100 meters.

Similar plots and scenes are staged again.

But this time, the only difference is that the surging quicksand color changes from black to red.

……………………………………………………………………

"I need your help."

"Why, I have confirmed the exact locations of those human spirits and have just begun to capture them."

"I have a big problem here. If you don't come here right away, I'll probably disappear completely from this world like Mericado."

"I see......"

Inside the 100-meter-deep pit in front of the Nightmare Maze is a large cocoon that occupies three-quarters of the bottom of the pit.

The entire cocoon is woven from translucent mental threads. When each blood-colored knight enters the pit, he will be directly sucked into the cocoon and disappear without a trace in an instant.

The Nightmare Knight, who was observing all this in the depths of the darkness, decisively ordered that all subordinates retreated and temporarily avoid the big pit.
