48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1384: The Goddess Of The Night

The night was exceptionally dark, as if someone had smeared ink all over the sky.

Fortunately, there was still moonlight shining through the forest, allowing people to barely see the path beneath them.

But in the next moment, Zhang Heng suddenly had a change of heart. He raised his head and saw a black gauze robe slowly falling from the sky.

At first, it was only the size of an ordinary cloth, but then the muslin cloth suddenly became tens of thousands of times larger, enveloping the entire mountain. The light from the moon was completely blocked off from the other side of the black muslin cloth, as a result, the earth was completely enveloped by the pitch-black darkness!

Zhang Heng did not panic. He opened his backpack and took out [ Explorer’s lamp ] . However, he soon realized that for some unknown reason, the c-rank item could only illuminate an area of less than half a meter in front of him, the light seemed to be swallowed by something half a meter away.

At the same time, something whizzed past Zhang Heng’s head. It sounded like a horse carriage. Zhang Heng recalled the description of Ni kesi in Greek mythology. She was riding a black horse carriage after dark, she was galloping in the sky.

Unfortunately, with the current visibility, Zhang Heng could not even see Ni Kesi’s shadow.

This woman was indeed very cunning. Even though she had said that she wanted to fight Zhang Heng, the first thing she did before the battle began was to put herself in an invincible position.

“Are you ready? It’s about to start.”

Ni kesi laughed lightly, and then the sound of the carriage suddenly disappeared. Just as Zhang Heng was focused on listening to ni Kesi’s location, the next moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind him.

A distance of half a meter was just a blink of an eye for a galloping Pegasus. Zhang Heng did not even have time to turn around before he was knocked flying by the carriage.

However, ni kesi, who had succeeded, was surprised.

Because at the last moment, a water film wrapped around Zhang Heng, slowing down the force of the horse’s collision. Zhang Heng looked like he had fallen far, but in reality, he did not suffer much damage. At most, there was a bruise on his back.

Ni kesi did not follow up. She only looked at the direction where Zhang Heng had landed and then drove the carriage back into the darkness.

The collision not only sent Zhang Heng’s body flying, but the explorer’s lamp in his hand had also slipped out of his hand and fallen into the water. If it had been anyone else, they probably would not have been able to retrieve it, however, Zhang Heng only put his left hand into the water. The next moment, the explorer’s lamp returned to his hand, but the sound of the Black Horse’s hooves disappeared again.

At that moment, ni kesi was sitting in the carriage, looking at Zhang Heng from afar. She was also curious as to how the mortal before her would deal with her attack.

The night was like her home ground. As long as she wanted, she could ride the carriage to and fro without making a sound until she was within half a meter of the [ explorer’s lamp ]’s light source, only then would the traces be revealed. However, at such a short distance, even with Zhang Heng’s reaction speed, it would be difficult for him to react effectively.

Even though he still had the current to protect himself, as long as he used it a few more times, his body would not be able to withstand it.

In the end, after a moment of silence, ni kesi saw Zhang Heng actually turn off the [ Explorer’s lamp ] in his hand. This time, the only light source in the world disappeared, and Zhang Heng was completely enveloped in darkness.

Was he giving up on resisting?

NI kesi naturally did not stand on ceremony. She immediately rushed toward Zhang Heng with the carriage. This time, she chose to face Zhang Heng head-on. If Zhang Heng was hit by this, then the battle could be declared over.

The carriage drove until it was two meters in front of Zhang Heng, but there was no reaction from Zhang Heng. It was as if his eyes and ears were completely covered by darkness.

However, just as Nix was about to swing the reins to complete the impact, something unexpected happened. Zhang Heng, who had been standing motionlessly, suddenly raised his knife.

His knife accurately hit the front leg of the black horse pulling the carriage. Then, the black horse let out a wail. The whole leg was cut off by Zhang Heng, and the momentum of [ hidden scabbard ] did not decrease!

The moment Zhang Heng swung the blade, he had already activated [ worldly scale ] , and it was four times stronger than ever before!

What puzzled Nix was how Zhang Heng could accurately pinpoint her location in the dark. After all, she was the only king in this darkness, and the carriage she was driving was also a B-grade item!

However, what Nix didn’t know was that it was her B-grade item that had exposed her location.

Zhang Heng’s attack wasn’t based on sight or hearing, but on [ hidden scabbard ]’s excitement when facing a high-level game item. Rather than saying that it was Zhang Heng’s attack, it would be more accurate to say that [ hidden scabbard ] had swung the blade itself. Zhang Heng had merely been the person holding the blade.

The result was that [ hidden scabbard ] had cut off two of the horse’s legs in one go, and then the axle of the carriage. Ni kesi had no choice but to jump out of her carriage in a sorry state. Only then did she manage to avoid a tragic traffic accident.

The evernight goddess was no longer as calm and confident as before. However, this was not the end. The next moment, Zhang Heng turned to look at where she was.

To be precise, this was not a “Look.”He had just turned his head in her direction. Ni kesi could see that the focus of Zhang Heng’s gaze was not on her, however, the other party had already rushed over without hesitation.

Ni kesi could not help but be shocked when she saw this. Her carriage had already been destroyed. At this moment, she could only rely on her own legs to escape. As she ran, she shouted without regard for her dignity, “How much longer are you going to watch the show? !”

“We are not watching the show. It’s just that your black veil is blocking our view,”a dignified male voice sounded.

At this moment, Nix did not have time to answer. She tried her best to roll forward, and only then did she dodge the knife light from behind her. However, her movements were still half a beat too slow, and the skin on her back was cut, black blood dripped onto the ground, and the unusual pain in the wound made the evernight goddess furious.

Just as she thought she was going to die here, a huge sword blocked Zhang Heng’s next attack.

The sound of weapons clashing could be heard one after another. The owner of the huge sword actually received a series of attacks from Zhang Heng in the pitch-black darkness.

It wasn’t until the two of them took a step back that the goddess of the night, Nyx, who had just escaped death, finally pulled back the black veil from the sky and draped it over her body, panting heavily.

Zhang Heng finally saw the person who had just received his attack. It was a burly man with a mouth full of golden teeth, a horn hung around his neck, and a giant sword in his hand.
