Chapter 59: Multi-Handed Monster
Anti looked at the lantern in his hand.

[Negative Light Lantern: A lantern with exquisite workmanship, which contains a miraculous light seed that can radiate light even in the dark night. Its illumination range can be adjusted by induction. However, its light can also illuminate creatures in deeper darkness, so please use it with caution.]

All the information was displayed before his eyes, including the price that Andnight had not made clear before.

However, it is still a riddle that is quite Andnight-style. It should be fine to understand it as more monsters will spawn.

Anti followed the message and took the lantern and tried to adjust its light.

Holding a lantern, the normal lighting range is about a circle with a radius of about five meters centered on it. If it is expanded further, it can still illuminate faintly, but it is not as clear as within five meters.

Then, adjust the lighting range to turn the lantern into a "flashlight" and focus the light forward. The distance will be very far and cannot be detected by naked eyes at once.

And just as Andnight said, this light would not attract the attention of the surrounding monsters. After lighting it for a long time, no monsters rioted.

Anti directly switched to flashlight mode, scanning the surroundings and observing the appearance of the world.

"Hmm? Isn't this the Sun City?"

Soon, under the illumination of the purple light, Anti discovered something was wrong.

Aren’t these surrounding buildings exactly the style of Sun City?

After careful confirmation, I found that it was indeed true.

This really is the City of the Sun, but it is a dark City of the Sun that belongs to those strange-looking and random monsters.

"The other world?" Anti thought of an interesting pattern.

There are two worlds, the inner and outer worlds. Could it be that this eternal night has formed an inner world based on the outer world?

However, Anti was not familiar with the real Sun City. Even though he recognized it, he didn't know where he was in the Sun City.

Since he didn't know the way for the time being, Anti started looking for other things to do.

For example, look at those monsters in the dark that caused you so much trouble when you were groping in the dark before.

There are quite a lot of monster types in Eternal Night.

The most common one is the eyeless man who attacked Anti at the beginning.

[Lightless Residents: People who were once included in the eternal night have been transformed into a new group after being affected by the curse. When the light of humanity is abandoned in the darkness along with those eyes, people are no different from beasts.]

In addition, there are some eyeless dogs that look like large dogs. Their information is similar to that of eyeless people, and it seems that some of the eyeless dogs are transformed from eyeless people.

Then there is the dark crawler, a weird insect with two heads on both ends of its body, multiple limbs, and the size of a human. It was the one that messed up Anti's intestines before.

There are many more besides these, and Anti can’t even see them all.

What these things have in common is that, although most of them have abandoned mature eyes, their other senses are very sharp. Except for a few species, they are extremely aggressive towards each other and will fight to the death as long as they get close to each other.

This is also the reason why I heard that this world was so lively before.

If Anti moved a little more or got too close, he would also attract these things. It was obviously for this reason that he was being chased all the way before.

However, as he followed the lantern along the way, Anti had not yet seen the side effects mentioned in the lantern's information.

After all, he couldn't even recognize all the monsters in this world, so how could he recognize any "deeper creatures"?

Anti continued walking along a street in illuminating mode.

After walking for a while, he suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed a little too quiet.

“……” After a moment of silence, he continued to move forward.

No matter how lightly you walk, without relevant training you cannot completely eliminate the sound of footsteps. The eerie silence and emptiness of the streets bring a different kind of horror.

Suddenly, under the light of the lantern in Anti's hand, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the street ahead.

Although it was a human figure, its multiple arms grew like tree branches, and its body was slender. This was all that could be seen from the distance.

The figure stood still on the street, and Anti stopped and looked at him.

[Multi-handed demon form: The state of a strange life derived from the "Heaven and Earth Hand" after being transformed by the Eternal Night. For the "Heaven and Earth Hand", hands are a symbol of power, and multiple hands represent the intention of pursuing omnipotence.]

Living creature, but it triggered the observation of the Night Eyes.

In other words, is the "Hand of Heaven and Earth" mentioned in the information some kind of wandering god?

Anti took another step forward.

The sound of footsteps was heard softly, and the figure's regular swaying suddenly stopped.

The next moment, it twitched violently.

In the blink of an eye, the other party seemed to be closer to Anti.

With another shake, it came closer, and this time the distance moved was longer.

It flashed back and forth several times, and suddenly, it disappeared from the range of the lantern.

galla...

Swish!
It appeared again and came directly to Anti.

Anti saw a pair of black hands with long fingers covering his face tightly.

As you get closer, you can clearly see the blades held on those branch-like arms.

All arms moved at once, and the blades quickly stabbed towards Anti.

Anti quickly retreated to create some distance, but with a flash, the thing disappeared from his sight again. Anti did not hesitate and changed the lantern from illuminating in one direction back to normal mode.

The light returned to his body, directly revealing that the opponent's figure was already level with Anti's.

Swish!

The knife flashed quickly, and Anti also drew out his knife to try to parry at close range.

But in an instant, his skin was torn into pieces, and he could not keep up with the opponent's attack speed at all!

There were countless cuts all over his body, and his body was instantly covered in blood.

The monster's strange flash can be used not only when moving, but also when attacking with its arms. Many times, Anti didn't even see the trajectory of the blade before he found that it had already cut into the flesh.

A faint blue hue covered Anti's body, and he distanced himself from the enemy again.

This time, the monster did not flash and catch up immediately, but stayed in place for a while before realizing that Anti was missing.

Hunting Shadow.

Although now it can only be a "shadow on the run".

When the effect of Hunting Shadow ended, the monster suddenly turned its head to look at where Anti was. It flashed again, and this time Anti directly drew out the Hunting Greatsword.

The eyes on the greatsword opened for a moment and then closed again.

The hunting blade turned around and swept, turning into a circle and spreading around. The monster that just appeared around Anti was directly cut by it.

But it only hit for a moment, and then it disappeared in a flash and forced its way in front of Anti.

Anti threw the lantern at his feet, put away the sword in one hand and swung the hammer with the other hand, sculpting his body layer by layer.

boom!
There was a violent muffled sound, and the streets beneath feet cracked and bricks exploded as the force was exerted.

But the "protective net" formed by several arms blocked Anti's hammer, and the monster's figure just shook for a while, without moving at all!
欻!
In an instant, a large number of blades started a deadly dance on Anti's chest, brutally exploding his chest, creating a bright flower of blood, and tiny pieces of flesh and bones flying everywhere.

"Hungry!" Countless tongues suddenly stretched out from the newly blooming blood flowers, and quickly swept back all the fragments of Anti's cut chest and ate them.

Its tentacle-like tongue grew spikes as sharp and messy as its teeth, which lashed wildly around.

The multi-armed monster showed no sign of weakness, and met the tongue, using the blades on its arms to pierce and cut quickly.

Ping-pong-pong, the sound of collision continued, and there was a brief stalemate. Suddenly, a dark blue hunting blade inserted itself in, breaking the balance between the two, and several arms of the multi-armed monster were cut off.

The tongue rushed forward quickly and pierced through the multi-armed monster!

Anti slowly picked up the negative-light lantern that he had just thrown on the ground with one hand.

Under the shining purple light, the tiny cuts on Anti's face were regenerating, and a hideous mouth was torn open on his bloody chest.

It is much more ferocious than its usual honest appearance, with wildly growing sharp teeth, and its originally weak tongue is now even stronger and more powerful, with thorns all over it, which can be used as a weapon.

"Hungry...hungry..." A vague sound came out of his mouth.

Anti reached out to wipe the wound on his face, but more blood came out, so he could only wipe it casually on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to eat something good."
