Chapter 108 I paid the wrong amount
A Luo, who was standing next to Nightmare, had cold sweat on his forehead, but the trembling soon stopped. He held Xiao Lian's hand tightly, and the fear in his eyes gradually faded away and turned into determination.

"Xiao Lian, you have to live well."

He spoke to his lover in the group chat, then raised his hand to touch Nightmare, and used his blood vampire magic to write on the back of Nightmare to convey the message.

"Aro, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Lian's face was filled with fear at this moment. This was the first time she had encountered such a desperate situation since she met A Luo. She had thought that he could use his wisdom to lead her out of the siege, but she hadn't expected that this was also the end?
"Create a way out for you."

A Luo spoke briefly in the group chat, and then stopped talking. He took a deep breath and stared at the trembling Lu Li and Yu Hu in the field.

Yu Hu was obviously no match for Lu Li. If he didn't have the blood ghost technique that could transfer his life and constantly summon giant octopuses to resist Lu Li's attacks, he would have been cut into dozens of pieces long ago.

He knew that he couldn't delay any longer. Explorers had to live towards death, and a weak person like him, if he wanted to protect the people he cared about, had to be prepared to die in order to compete with the strong.

At this time, Lu Li slashed with his sword, cutting Yu Hu in half. When the second sword was about to reach Yu Hu's neck, Yu Hu moved again.

Just as he was about to chase after Yu Hu, a figure rushed out from the side. It was a black-haired young man. There was fear in his eyes, but he did not hesitate at all. He slashed towards Lu Li with a saber in his hand.

Lu Li was constantly aware of the positions of the enemies on the battlefield. After confirming that Nightmare was still above him, he slashed with his sword.

The speed difference meant that before Luo's knife could touch Lu Li, his head was moved, but a smile appeared on his face at the last moment.

Because his timed position-changing props worked, and the timing was exactly as he calculated and estimated.

Before his consciousness faded, he looked at Lu Li's eyes filled with cold murderous intent, feeling both regretful and grateful.

He was glad that he had used his life as bait to lure such a powerful explorer, and that he had timed it perfectly to create a way for Xiao Lian to survive.

He regretted that the last thing he saw before he died was the eyes of this killer, not Xiao Lian's gentle face.

From Lu Li's perspective, his Prison Demon slashed across, first touching A Luo's neck, and then cutting through it effortlessly.

Just as the blade of the Demon Prisoner's blade cut through A Luo's neck and the remaining force was about to cut towards the outside, A Luo's neck in front of him instantly reconnected!
No, that was not A Luo's neck, but the A Luo in front of Lu Li had changed!
The head on his neck was not A Luo at all, but the face of Nightmare!

The veins around those emerald green eyes that read "Lower Rank One" were exposed, and it was obvious that he had exerted extreme strength.

Blood vampire art·Forced coma·Sleep·Eyes!
This is his most powerful vampire magic, and its sleeping effect is far superior to the vampire magic released by making sounds with the hands. Whispers of forced sleep and hypnosis.

He had tried whispering before, but Lu Li was very resistant to sleepiness and it didn't work, so he bet everything on this one attack.

He didn't know how the ghost managed to make them switch positions, but after a brief tactical exchange he realized that this was their only chance, so he agreed.

Even at such a close distance, if he could only control Lu Li for a moment, Yu Hu would be killed by Lu Li at the same time as he tried to kill Lu Li. However, as long as he could help Lord Muzan eliminate the threat, he would feel extremely happy.

The moment Lu Li looked into Nightmare's eyes, the scene in front of his eyes flashed and he arrived in an old warehouse.

I was secretly reading a comic book when a female voice came from outside the warehouse, "Ali, are you secretly reading comics again?"

When Lu Li heard that voice, his nose felt sore instantly and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and shout out those two words.

But his reason told him that this was a dream world and he had to get out immediately. Even a moment of looking back would cost him his life.

So he resonated with the prisoner demon, used the power of his Zanpakuto's soul vibration, and coordinated with the control reduction effect of the Giant's Heart, and instantly shattered the world before his eyes.

When his vision became clear again, to his surprise, he was not seriously injured by Yu Hu's blood ghost magic.

[Side quest. Ghost Hunter progress updated, purple treasure chest has been dropped. ]

He could clearly hear the reminder sound of the End Space, which was the reward reminder given when he killed a ghost.

In the burning forest, a strong smell of burning and pungent smoke mixed together. There was no sound of enemy attacks around him. Under his feet was Yu Hu's body and his head that rolled to the side.

Right in front of him was Nightmare, who was struggling and crawling on the ground after being cut in half.

"Strange...monster..."

Xiao Lian, who was still standing on the tree, had a trembling voice, her body went limp, and she fell from the tree. The fear in her eyes was ten thousand times greater than before, as if she had seen some indescribable demon.

Lu Li frowned as he looked at Yu Hu's body, "It seems that Master was not kidding me..."

He recalled an incident from his childhood. His master said that he sleepwalked after falling asleep and was practicing against a wooden man in the martial arts arena. The master wanted to wake him up, but found that he had fighting instincts even in his sleep. After a fight, the master almost lost.

Because Lu Li had never had this kind of sleepwalking problem before, he thought that his master was playing a joke on him. After all, he didn't feel tired when he woke up the next morning, and there were no bruises on his body from his master.

But later he never had the chance to confirm the truth of this matter. Not long after that sleepwalking incident, the company's lackeys and those people came to his door and he became a homeless orphan. From then on, he could never sleep peacefully again. He was always alert wherever he was and never entered a deep sleep.

I just fell asleep because of my nightmare ability. Although it may have been less than a second, it was also a deep sleep. So did I sleepwalk for one second?

Or has he engraved the martial arts instinct into his body so that he can fight even when he is asleep?
Lu Li shook his head, knowing that now was not the time to think about these things, and walked towards Nightmare, ready to end this battle. "Monster... Monster... What the hell are you!?"

Nightmare sensed Lu Li approaching from behind, and he turned over. His lower body had just grown more than halfway with great difficulty, and he could only kick half of his leg and move backwards on the ground. He looked terrified, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Lu Li was really puzzled now. He knew that Nightmare was a mentally abnormal pervert and an excellent employee of Muzan. Normally, he shouldn't be afraid of such a guy. What on earth did he just see?

I can't be more powerful when I'm asleep than when I'm awake, right? I'm not Zenitsu.

Lu Li was still confident in his honed skills. He didn't think that he would be better than himself when awake just by relying on his fighting instincts while asleep.

Nightmare looked at the man walking towards her, not caring about the fire burning on the ground, and kept backing away, grabbing the burning fallen leaves and throwing them towards Lu Li like a powerless child.

Just after the weak ghost risked his life to exchange positions with him, he immediately launched the blood ghost technique. The moment his blood ghost technique succeeded, he felt that they had already won the battle.

Even if Lu Li sensed Yu Hu's murderous intent and woke up, and could kill him with a dying counterattack, Yu Hu could still get rid of Lu Li, thus eliminating a major threat to Lord Muzan.

But just when his blood demon technique succeeded, he saw the real...devil.

Lu Li was wrapped in thick purple mist. Under the purple mist, there was a smoke-like black substance rising. His breath was cold, violent, bloodthirsty, and filled with murderous intent that could even bend flames.

Before Yu Hu, who was approaching Lu Li, could make a move, and before anyone could see what was happening, Yu Hu's head was chopped off by the dark light of a knife.

Before Nightmare could figure out the situation, Lu Li's sword turned around and cut him in half.

In less than a second, Lu Li woke up, but in that short period of time, the suffocating aura of Lu Li almost enveloped the entire mountain range!

"How rude... No matter how you look at it, I'm still a human being!"

Lu Li stepped on Nightmare's chest. At this moment, he was not afraid that the other party would use blood vampire magic again. Without the jade pot, Nightmare and the rookie explorer could not break his defense. He was even willing to recall it in his dream.

But Nightmare seemed to be frightened to the point of insanity. He didn't even use his vampire magic. He just struggled hard, shouting words like monster and devil.

As Lu Li spoke, he slashed with his sword, ending Nightmare's life. To his surprise, although Nightmare was a lower-ranking one, he also dropped a purple treasure chest for him, but it might be of average quality.

After killing the last ghost with some skills, Lu Li set his sights on the female explorer.

Xiao Lian was so frightened that she could not walk. She knelt with her long white legs under her short skirt. When she saw Lu Li walking towards her, she screamed in fear.

But after Lu Li approached, she stopped screaming and cried out in tears: "Please, let me go, I will never go against you in this world again."

"Are you a couple?"

Lu Li turned his head and glanced at A Luo's body on the ground.

Xiao Lian nodded first, then shook her head frantically, "No, I don't know him. He is the one who wanted to plot against you, sir. It has nothing to do with me. I just followed them to have a look. I didn't mean to go against you."

Her originally pretty face was distorted by fear. "Please let me go. I don't want to die. I'll do anything you ask me to do..."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to tear off her clothes, revealing her fair skin, "I have good skills, I guarantee you will be satisfied..."

However, before she could finish her words, the Prisoner Demon fell down, bringing up its ugly head with a distorted face.

Lu Li glanced at A Luo's body and sighed, "It's really not worth it..."

Aro is undoubtedly a weak explorer, but he has brains and knows how to gather strength. He combined the power of Upper Rank Five and Lower Rank One to set up a plan on Nada Mountain, which is undoubtedly a very threatening situation for the Demon Slayer Corps.

Lu Li had also seen similar position-exchange props as the one used by the other party at the trading market. Due to its quality, it could usually only be bound and exchanged with living things, and the distance was also limited, usually no more than one kilometer.

But even if it is only five or six hundred meters, it is not a short distance. With the intelligence and character of a man like A Luo, it is impossible for him to leave no way of retreat before going up the mountain. This prop may have been bound to other living nodes on the mountain first. If he really wants to leave, there is a chance that he can escape by using the prop alone in the chaos.

But A Luo chose to use his life to gamble, betting that he could control himself and keep the one he loved alive.

Regardless of their camp, Lu Li recognized the other party's intelligence, awareness, and courage, but his vision for women was not very good.

"Wrong pay, brother."

As Lu Li spoke, he started to move. The fire was growing bigger and bigger, and he had to clean up the battlefield quickly.

Half a minute later, Lu Li held the two purple treasure chests in his hands, and carefully flipped through the prompt records in the space and fell into deep thought.

He killed nine explorers in this battle, but it seemed... not a single Dead Man's Treasure Chest was dropped.

This shouldn't be the case. Am I not lucky?

Well, it must be a coincidence.
