Chapter 365 - 200 Exploration_2
Yawning, Lin Wu noticed Wai intently staring at a dark corner about ten meters away. Lin Wu patted the dog’s head, turned off his mining light, and took out his pistol to stealthily approach. Pressing his body against the wall corner, Lin Wu turned on the mining light as he pivoted around the corner, and a Night Demon suddenly appeared three meters ahead. Lin Wu tried to aim but couldn’t lock on, realizing the distance wasn’t enough. As he stepped forward, the Night Demon didn’t attack Lin Wu but turned tail and fled.
Lin Wu fired several shots but missed the Night Demon’s head, and saw the creature disappear around the corner. After only a few steps of pursuit, a frustrated Lin Wu cursed, "Cowardly as a mouse, what kind of zombie are you?"
As he finished speaking, another Night Demon lunged from a side passage, its strong left arm reaching out with clawed hands towards Lin Wu. By the time Lin Wu could react, it was too late. He could only dodge with Wind Stinger, as the claws sank deep into his flesh, leaving four bloody gouges.
Locking on, Lin Wu retaliated and took down the Night Demon.
If you didn’t kill me, then I’ll kill you. A fight with a Night Demon means life or death in the blink of an eye.
...
Stone watched Lin Wu enter the medic room, then turned to Maya, "Did you guys visit hell? Why does someone get hurt every time?" A simple bandage was enough to buy time for Lin Wu’s wound.
Maya apologized, "My fault." Lin Wu sensed the Night Demon and killed the creature. At that moment, she should have been ready with her plan to guard against Night Demons. Maya saw Lin Wu’s actions before he was wounded and thought that dealing with one Night Demon wouldn’t be a problem for him if he was on guard. She hadn’t expected the Night Demon to be so intelligent, to actually learn to lure in enemies.
