444: Chapter 443 Let Me Show My Skills

Everyone quickly stopped discussing Li Na.

Because the pitch-black night was already creeping along the corridor, and the three-minute mark was nearly up.

Almost at the same moment, the electric light inside the conference room grew increasingly intense, as if a thunderstorm were raging within, yet strangely, not a flicker leaked out.

The group standing outside the door remained completely unaffected.

It wasn't until the door of the conference room began to shrink that the Giant Egg, which had been tossing and turning inside, quickly rolled out.

"Gaga! That felt so good..."

An excited howl rang out from inside the Giant Egg. It was no longer the child's voice heard before, but sounded like that of a teenager.

However, the voice sounded a bit strange, as if it were currently going through puberty.

There were more cracks on the eggshell, and electric arcs flashed across it. Even without touching it, one could faintly feel a slight tingling sensation as if being electrocuted.

"What on earth is inside there?"

"It must be very strong!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at the Giant Egg with astonished eyes.

And at that very moment, the surging night completely swept over the group, enveloping them within it.

"I can't see!"

"I can't see either..."

A few Night Watchers shouted in alarm instinctively, but immediately lowered their voices: "Isn't this the Nightfall? I clearly have night vision..."

"Everyone, don't panic! Hold hands!" Lin Liguo's voice rang out. "This night can affect spirit senses. Even for me, I can only barely see a distance of two or three meters..."

"Hehe... I can see about five meters..." Fat Pig chuckled foolishly.

"Don't show off." Cai Hou slapped Fat Pig's arm and frowned. "This night is a bit strange. It actually makes me feel like I'm facing a high-Rank Specter, involuntarily stirring up fear and nervousness. My brain feels a bit sluggish, too; I feel like my intelligence is dropping..."

"It's possible a Specter is right beside us!" Cai Hou scratched his neck hard, then asked Chu Xuan, "Chu Xuan, how far can you see?"

"Less than twenty meters, I suppose."

Although that was what Chu Xuan said, in reality, his field of vision wasn't affected much; it was just not as clear as before.

Everything before him was pitch black.

As for fear and nervousness, they simply didn't exist.

Besides that, Chu Xuan had a strange feeling under this night.

It seemed... this night was somewhat similar to the Nightfall cast by the night cloak?

"Gaga! Don't be afraid! With me, the Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc here, all demons and monsters must die!"

The Giant Egg hopped to the front of the group, electric arcs flickering from the cracks in the eggshell, illuminating the pitch-black night slightly.

Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc?

Everyone wore strange expressions, evidently none of them had ever heard of this thing.

However, amidst the flickering electric arcs, it was like a candle flame in this night. Although it didn't illuminate much, it made everyone's vision a bit clearer.

Especially for those few Night Watchers who initially couldn't see anything, now that they had finally regained a bit of vision, their anxious hearts calmed down slightly.

Just for this alone, no one dared to underestimate this Giant Egg.

On the other hand, they felt that Chu Xuan, who had released this Giant Egg, was even more unfathomable.

He was also more confident about the upcoming third level.

Just then, the System's notification sound rang in everyone's ears.

[Level 3: Nightfall! Introduction: The existence lurking beneath the night intends to occupy the ancient castle, but all twelve mechanisms have been unlocked. Only by killing the remaining Challengers and sacrificing them to the Evil God of The Gloom to complete the ritual can one occupy the ancient castle. Clearance Condition: The instant-death rule of the night, empowered by the power of The Gloom, has temporarily become invalid. It will take effect again in 30 minutes. If the Challengers leave the ancient castle before this, it will be considered as clearing the level.]

[Timer starts!] [29:29:59] [29:29:58] [...]

"The clearance condition is to leave the ancient castle, and the instant-death rule will take effect again in 30 minutes!"

Lin Liguo said in a deep voice: "It seems we need to return the way we came, but... that Specter probably won't let us have our way smoothly."

"Go." Chu Xuan said only this one word, then walked forward.

"Step back, let me, the Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc, show off!"

The Giant Egg hopped to the front of Chu Xuan, making a cackling sound: "Human pet, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. For this danger, let this Emperor lead you through."

Human pet? Is it treating me as a pet?

Chu Xuan's face darkened slightly. This guy is a bit arrogant.

Resisting the urge to slap it away, Chu Xuan said: "Lead the way, we are going downstairs."

"Gaga! Follow me, I've got you covered!"

The Giant Egg hopped toward the stairs.

Chu Xuan felt that the other party's tone had a hint of a delinquent teenager.

But this Giant Egg clearly came from the War Dragon World and had always been kept by the System in the biological space.

Even if it could perceive the outside world and had even learned human language, the fact that it could express itself so anthropomorphically still surprised Chu Xuan quite a bit.

Chu Xuan looked back; including Cai Hou and Fat Pig, there were eight people in total.

During this mission, these people had been quite obedient and hadn't caused any trouble, so he didn't mind taking them along to leave.

"Follow behind me, don't fall behind," Chu Xuan said.

Everyone nodded hurriedly and followed closely.

In the pitch-black corridor, the hopping sounds from the Giant Egg and the footsteps of the group intertwined, echoing through the empty corridor.

Under the shroud of this night, the tension, anxiety, and uneasiness of a few people were difficult to suppress and became apparent. They could only force themselves to keep quiet, trying their best to avoid causing trouble.

When they successfully arrived at the stairs ahead, a heavy sound of footsteps suddenly appeared.

Everyone's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and they easily identified that these heavy footsteps came from the stairs ahead.

Chu Xuan immediately stopped his pace, and the others behind him also stopped.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The heavy footsteps rang out from the stairs ahead.

Immediately after, a familiar blurry figure fell into everyone's eyes under the illumination of the electric light.

Dressed in a black suit, with a tall and upright figure, and two sharp horns growing from its head. A Minotaur!

Everyone was shocked. Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately discovered that this Minotaur was exactly the same as the one he had killed before.

"You few..." A strange smile appeared on the Minotaur's face, incomparably sinister: "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to send you to your death!" The Giant Egg suddenly hopped up, blue and white electric light flashing all over its body, actually hovering in mid-air.

As the electric arcs expanded and swirled around, like a lightning whip, they struck the ground and walls, sending stone chips flying and leaving charred patches everywhere.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel. They had already verified the wall structure of this ancient castle; it was countless times harder than that of ordinary houses.

But now, just an egg had such power. Once it hatched, wouldn't that be incredible?

Everyone's confidence greatly increased.

"Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc... it truly lives up to its name!" Cai Hou exclaimed, then raised both hands and shouted: "Brother Roc, hurry up and finish him!"

"Watch closely, look at my Lightning Missile!"

The Giant Egg crackled all the way as it charged toward the Minotaur.

The next second. Boom! The Minotaur kicked out fiercely, and the Giant Egg was sent flying like a soccer ball, slamming into the wall with a loud bang, triggering an even more intense burst of electric current.
