Chapter 1161: The Eye of Bewilderment

While Black Silk was trying to get in touch with Ling Mo, Ling Mo and his group had already made new progress in their actions…

“Fourth floor.” Xia Na flicked her wrist, lightly shaking off the blood on her Scythe, then looked at the corpse on the ground and said, “This is only the third enemy we’ve encountered.”

“Looks like… it’s much more dangerous upstairs. The opponents have probably concentrated their combat power on one floor. That way, when they face us, they’ll have a greater advantage. The two we just ran into separately might have only been meant to delay us and wear down our fighting strength.” Xu Shuhan guessed worriedly.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze turned to the stairs leading upward…

“Yeah, from the looks of it, that’s very likely.” Ling Mo glanced at the corpse and nodded.

“So what should we do?” Li Yalin asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud crash suddenly came from below, followed by a “clang” sound.

“Something’s coming in!” Ling Mo immediately turned to look downstairs.

At the bottom of the staircase, a new danger was approaching… Soon, it would climb up the stairs…

But just as everyone realized this, it suddenly went quiet below.

For several seconds, no sound came up.

“Don’t panic.” Ling Mo quickly regained his composure, turned back with a calm face, and said, “We still have time.”

A simple encirclement is useless… In fact, if used well, this could actually be an opportunity…

“But the opponent’s goal clearly isn’t that, otherwise there’d be no need to make such a big commotion…” Ling Mo continued.

That’s right. If they really wanted to cut off our retreat, the Ambusher should have just quietly fired a shot…

Deliberately breaking down the door, maybe even smashing it open, such a high-profile move only means something else-

“They’re forcing us to go up,” Xia Na said in a low voice.

And while forcing us, they’re also putting pressure on us.

But soon, Xia Na showed a slight smile, her tone wicked as she said, “But this level of danger… hmph! Perfect. I’m also curious about who they really are. Since they’re inviting us so sincerely, let’s go.”

Ye Lian naturally had no objections, Li Yalin nodded excitedly again and again. Gu Shuangshuang and Xu Shuhan, though a bit fearful and nervous, couldn’t help but nod as well, infected by Xia Na’s laughter.

After nodding, Xu Shuhan suddenly shivered, her eyes widening in surprise: “Eh… why did I agree so quickly? Wasn’t I just thinking of persuading everyone to discuss it more? Strange…” She thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xia Na in shock.

It was Xia Na’s eyes… Though they were black now, with Xu Shuhan’s eyesight she could tell there seemed to be a reflection of another pair of eyes in them… and that reflection was blood-red. This gave Xia Na a somewhat eerie aura. But just as Xu Shuhan wanted to look closer, Xia Na blinked, and her eyes returned to pure black, and that involuntary feeling Xu Shuhan had also disappeared.

“Is this also a variation ability… Hmm. It must be, I can’t be mistaken… I didn’t expect her to have such an ability right after evolution… For other Zombies, even at this level, they’d need repeated attempts or accumulated combat experience to show something like this, right?” Xu Shuhan felt a bit complicated… Except for Ye Lian, who hadn’t made a move yet, the other two Female Zombies had shown extremely powerful strength. In comparison, the help she could offer Ling Mo was just too little…

But what Xu Shuhan didn’t know was that Xia Na’s ability hadn’t just appeared. Back when she first started down the path of mental ability, her gaze already had this bewildering effect. It’s just that as her power grew, the ability became a bit redundant. Only after evolving again did her psychic power undergo a qualitative change through the merging of her two personalities, and now when she used this ability, the effect was incomparable to before. Most importantly, this ability clearly wasn’t used actively, but was hidden in her gaze.

When her Zombie nature was triggered, this bewildering ability would show up along with the color change in her eyes.

“And this is just a slight redness… If her eyes completely changed color…” Xu Shuhan was deeply shocked inside.

And not just her-even Gu Shuangshuang was affected. In terms of psychic power alone, Gu Shuangshuang was much stronger than Xu Shuhan.

This meant that, just in terms of psychic power, Xia Na already had strength surpassing Gu Shuangshuang.

“She’s already this strong, I can’t imagine how terrifying Ye Lian must be… No wonder they can stay calm even when falling into a trap. Compared to them, Gu Shuangshuang and I are far behind. In the end, we’re just too weak… our survival ability is too low…” Xu Shuhan thought to herself. 𐍂ά𐌽Ọ₿Ê𝙨

“In that case… let’s go up,” Ling Mo nodded as well.

Of course he wasn’t affected, but with the enemy being so aggressive, he was getting a bit fired up too.

“That Spider knows very well that just blocking one staircase means nothing to us. With so many windows, we could leave through any of them. Normally, we should just leave this building. But no matter what I do, there are always new traps waiting for me ahead. Instead of being caught off guard again and again, we might as well just go straight up and see what she’s prepared for me.”

“But…” Passing by the third corpse, Ling Mo frowned and glanced at it. The corpse’s head was almost completely split open, blood flowing everywhere, looking quite disgusting. But as Ling Mo looked at it, he was thinking about something else…

“Why deliberately send two to die? The first one died so quickly, and the other two didn’t use any clever tactics either. In terms of individual strength, they were even weaker than the first. So… what’s the real reason? What’s the hidden purpose behind this…” Ling Mo thought silently.

……

“So fast…” In a certain room, the Niepan captain leaned against the wall, one hand covering his eye, the other wiping away Sweat, “Both times in a row… I already told them to defend as best they could, but as soon as they’re discovered by the other side, it’s a death sentence. If it was just one of them, they could still stall, but damn it, all six of them… no, mainly Ling Mo and those two… how do they coordinate so perfectly, without a single gap?!”

“It’s just like… one person is doing all the fighting!”
