Chapter 35 Accident
There is no doubt that this is a monster.

Even though they were a long distance apart, the strong demonic aura still made Xiao Xiao feel uncomfortable, and his hair stood on end.

As if the monster had noticed Xiao Xiao's gaze, its eyes turned and met Xiao Xiao's sight.

There seemed to be a blood-red sky in those blood-red pupils, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood beneath it. Thick blood was flowing slowly, murderous aura rising to the sky, and icy murderous intent flowing in it. It was dead and desolate, yet sharp as a knife.

Xiao Xiao covered his eyes all of a sudden. He felt as if his eyes were pierced with extreme pain.

If the pain he had experienced in the past few days had not greatly increased his endurance, he would have cried out in pain long ago.

Xiao Xiao's nostrils twitched, and there seemed to be a strong smell of rust surging, and even his mouth had a sweet and disgusting taste.

……

"Lao San, what's wrong with you?"

"Third brother?"

"...It's okay." Golden light leaked out from between Xiao Xiao's fingers as he covered his eyes, and after a few breaths, it disappeared without a trace.

"Huh." The pain subsided, Xiao Xiao slowly put down his hand, and blinked his eyes slowly. The previous stinging pain seemed like an illusion.

This monster is very strong.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes, and his super-strong five senses clearly felt the breath of the monster in the opponent's player seat.

Cold, powerful, and full of the smell of blood.

It was the first time he encountered a monster that could make him so embarrassed with just a glance.

But how could such a powerful monster be with a human?
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had seen it wrong before, and that the monster was not standing on the shoulder of the rookie player?
Did he just happen to be there?
Haha, Xiao Xiao rubbed the corners of his eyes gently and stopped deceiving himself.

This was indeed the first time he encountered a combination of human and demon.

I wonder if the rookie player can see this monster?
Did the monster stay on the rookie's shoulder for some purpose? Or was it a compromise by the rookie?
Or is it a win-win relationship?

It can't be a subordinate relationship, right?
……

"Third brother, the game has begun!"

Hmm? Xiao Xiao looked up with a bit of confusion, a little out of his mind.

"Beep~" A sharp whistle sounded, scaring Xiao Xiao.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The crisp sound of the basketball hitting the ground was rapid and intense, and the atmosphere in the whole venue suddenly reached its peak.

There was a great bustle of people, and all kinds of voices mixed together. The lively scene made people's hearts surge and their blood boil.

But Xiao Xiao seemed to have heard nothing, his eyes focused on searching for the new player.

I didn't find him in the rest area, but he was already on the field at the start?

However, the ferocious monster occupied the seat previously occupied by the rookie player, with his eyes half closed as if he was taking a rest.

After the previous incident, Xiao Xiao just glanced at the monster and turned his gaze to the center of the court, and saw the new player at a glance.

Even among a group of basketball players, his height is eye-catching.

After all, there are not so many two-meter players in China, not to mention that it is just a basketball team in a university.

……

However, how can we tell from this what kind of relationship the new players have with the monsters?
Maybe it was because he was resting, or maybe it was because he was disdainful of him? In any case, when Xiao Xiao once again focused his eyes on the monster, the monster did not look as sharp as before, as if it was about to pierce his eyes.

So, Xiao Xiao just looked at the new players and the monster openly.

He didn't care at all that he might be looked down upon.

……

In fact, he did have a feeling. As he encountered more and more monsters, and as the number of monsters in the Monster Mirror increased, he seemed to be gradually becoming stronger.

He felt the energy that the Demon Mirror was feeding back to him. This energy was gradually flowing through his body. His constitution became better and better, and his five senses became stronger.

It has been less than two months since he first saw the monster. Even though he has undergone tremendous changes, he still has only a vague understanding of how and why all this happened. As for monsters, he can be said to be completely in the dark.

But he was not in a hurry. He had always been a person who took things as they came and was inherently lazy.

He also quite enjoyed the feeling of being tipsy from not seeking to understand too much.

Moreover, he will become stronger.

There was no doubt about that, and he had never doubted it.

By then, many problems will no longer be problems.

……

"Ah~" The whole audience was in an uproar, and many people stood up excitedly, leaned forward, and shouted loudly.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Zhuge Yun leaned half of his body out of the stands, feeling angry and confused.

"Why did he fall again?" Zhao Luzheng looked confused.

Xiao Xiao frowned, revealing a hint of coldness. This is...

Their situation was originally very good and they were gradually gaining the upper hand.

Even if the other team has added a strong new player, basketball is a team sport. Obviously, the other team has not yet fully integrated due to the addition of the new player, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage.

As a result, in the second half, for some reason, our players always behaved strangely against the new player. They either fell or suddenly became dazed, and naturally, the ball was successfully intercepted by the opponent.

The score was narrowed and then overtaken.

The other side's joy and excitement made the gloom and sadness on this side even more prominent.

They didn't understand why they suddenly became powerless when they were about to seize the opportunity to win.

And the points lost were so strange, what happened? Didn't you sleep well last night?

However, no matter how hard they pulled out their hair and opened their eyes wide, they still couldn't see that the other party had done anything wrong.

Isn't this really a stumbling block set by the other party?

How can it be? !
Xiao Xiao stared into the eyes of the new player. Before, because the opponent had his back to him, he was just like everyone else, full of confusion about the frequent accidents. But this time, the opponent was facing him and he could see everything clearly.

Those eyes suddenly turned scarlet, ferocious and cold, with endless murderous aura surging. For the students in the ivory tower, this was certainly not an oppression they could endure. It was ok for them to be stunned, but some of them staggered and took a step back, and fell down with weak legs.

Xiao Xiao turned his gaze to the monster again, and his eyes were exactly the same cold and bloodthirsty as that monster's.

However, the players who were impacted seemed to have no idea what had happened afterwards, as evidenced by their self-blaming and confused expressions.

What a convenient pair of eyes.

But doesn’t it feel like a waste of talent to use it here?
A gleam of ice flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.

……

"Ah——" a louder scream rang out.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but stand up.

"Crack~" His keen five senses even allowed him to hear the sound of breaking bones.

It turned out that another player on the field was hit and fell to the ground. A player from the other team didn't see it or something, and just rushed straight towards him. As a result, he failed to brake in time and stepped on the foot of the fallen player. Although he also fell out, he defused the danger with a nimble roll and was basically fine.

But the one who was stepped on was not so lucky.

Seeing that his face turned pale with pain, his forehead was covered with big beads of sweat, and he couldn't even speak, I knew that he was seriously injured.

"Beep~", the game is paused.
