Chapter 16 - Chapter 16:A three-second dream? Viper's Trance and the Mysteries of the Underworld Walkers

Matthew walked out of the battle zone, still reeling from the power of his opponents. There wasn't a single character on his list that was easy to deal with, all of them were like hard stones or iron blocks that could chop off a few of an opponent's teeth even if they shattered. However, Matthew was currently immersed in the flashbacks of that fierce battle, and his awareness of his surroundings was reduced to the extreme.

Suddenly, Dawnbreaker's voice echoed in his mind, "Xiu, be careful!" The voice brought Matthew back to his senses in an instant, and he looked around, only to realize that he was vaguely surrounded by four Underworld Walkers. He couldn't help but wonder if these people were doing this on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.

The Dawnbreaker explained, "You are surrounded by four Underworld Walkers, and there is another one lurking in the corner, it is uncertain if they are in a group. A hologram floated in front of Matthew's eyes, clearly showing the locations of the four Underworld Walkers and the lurker.

"Underworld Walkers? What's that?" Matthew asked curiously.

"It's too early to explain, so let's go back. There's no way to tell if they're hostile." Dawnbreaker replied curtly.

Displeased, Matthew took a diagonal step with his right foot, only to find that the four had surprisingly moved with him, still surrounding him tightly. He snorted coldly and was about to act when the Dawnbreaker called out again, "Xiu, under attack! Is it a counterattack?"

Matthew rolled his eyes and sneered, "Nonsense, of course we're counterattacking! Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

Dawnbreaker replied calmly, "Oh.

Meanwhile, Viper, who was watching the battle from afar, stared wide-eyed, not daring to miss a single detail. He was confident that nothing around him could escape his eyes, even the clock in the hall was clearly reflected in his mind. However, he was surprised that MX didn't seem to perceive any threats around him.

Viper secretly speculated in his mind, could it be that MX was actually just an ordinary person? When he thought about the astronomical reward from the Luo family, his guts turned green with remorse. If he had acted on his own, he could have easily taken care of those Underworld Walkers. His Bone Eroding Worm was much more powerful than those work-oriented worms.

However, just as he was regretting it, the situation on the field suddenly changed. An invisible pressure came from all directions, and Viper could only feel his body stiffening, as if he was being held tightly by an invisible hand. He realized to his horror that he couldn't move at all, only his mind remained clear. He stared at MX with his eyes wide open, his heart filled with fear and despair.

Everything around him seemed to stand still, like a three-dimensional hologram. Time seemed to have stopped, and the whole scene had an indescribably bizarre aura. Viper felt a chill well up in his heart, colder than the coldest ice in the Extremely Frozen Lands. He desperately wanted to close his eyes, but he realized that he couldn't even move his eyelids.

At that moment, a black hole rapidly expanded around MX. The deep darkness was like a giant beast devouring everything, swallowing everything around it without slowing down. In the blink of an eye, this darkness mercilessly swallowed Viper. His eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Viper suddenly woke up.

Viper awoke suddenly, as if he had just dozed off and had a brief dream. He looked around, and the clock in the hall read nine fifteen minutes and thirty-five seconds. Only three seconds had passed? He froze. He looked over to where MX had just been standing, only to find that MX had disappeared without a trace. Gone in three seconds? This was too bad!

Viper turned and prepared to leave, but suddenly he noticed that the four Underworld Walkers were standing motionless like statues. Suspicious in his heart, he stopped in his tracks. He quietly released his Surge and tried to detect their anomalies, but found nothing. After half a day, the four people remained motionless and did not even speak. People coming and going looked at the four "living statues" with curiosity.

Viper felt that something was wrong, so he pretended to be a pedestrian to the four people. When he saw the four white lifeless faces, his heart was shocked and his mind was confused. This wasn't the first time he had seen this situation, the first time was after a battle between two Super Stygian Domain Walkers, where the losing party's brain nerves were completely necrotic, and their faces had the same expression.

Viper felt a shiver run down his spine as he swallowed hard, but his throat was as dry as a desert. His body involuntarily shivered slightly. It turned out ... that the scene just now had not been a dream .... The swelling black hole, the endless coldness, and the eerie silence ... one by one appeared in his mind, causing his mind to tremble and feel fear.

Viper could not stand this fear anymore, he screamed miserably and went offline for the first time.

"Xiao, what exactly is the Underworld Walker you just mentioned? How come I've never heard of it before?" Matthew asked curiously.

The Dawnbreaker explained, "Underworld Walkers are those who have mastered the optical brain and have unique abilities in the virtual network. They walk between black and white, belonging to neither good nor evil, which is why they are called Underworld Domain Walkers. And 'domain' refers to the field in which they are proficient."

When Matthew heard the word light brain, he immediately lost interest, "Hey, light brain again, I don't have much interest in that thing. By the way, what was the result of those four Underworld Walkers?"

The Dawnbreaker said calmly, "Complete necrosis of the brain nerves."

Matthew asked in confusion, "Complete necrosis of the brain nerves? What does that mean?"

Dawnbreaker still calmly explained, "There are two possibilities, one is death and the other is becoming a vegetable.

Matthew raised an eyebrow, "Oh, yeah. That's not bad, so they won't have a chance to fight back." Growing up in the Ruined Earth Star Hill, Matthew had always been ruthless with his enemies, and he knew that if he hadn't been, he wouldn't have had any bones left by now. The hammering of life and death countless times had already made him take life and death very lightly.

Suddenly, he remembered that there was still a leak in the scene that hadn't been fixed and asked, "By the way, isn't there another person in Xiaoxiao? How is that person doing?"
