Chapter 876: Chapter 359: Headless Knight Chapter 876: Chapter 359: Headless Knight “`

A mechanical monkey was stunned when a paper playing card blasted the tree trunk in its hand to smithereens. It turned its head towards the distance and saw atop a mountain far away, a knight sitting on a horse overlooking the beach below. The knight was draped in a scarlet cloak, which billowed high in the raging wind. His body was clad in worn armor, and the horse beneath him was covered in tattered iron armor as well, a long lance hanging from the horse's hook.

This knight appeared very mysteriously, but what shocked people the most was that he had no head; this was a headless knight. Where the head should have been atop the weathered armor and cloak, there was nothing, absolutely no head. The neck area of the armor looked pitch-black, uncannily eerie.

Even though the headless knight lacked a head, the other parts of his body were entirely normal. No eyes could be seen on the headless knight, but the mechanical monkey felt as if the headless knight was looking right at it. The headless knight held a deck of playing cards, deftly shuffling them with alternating hands, his card shuffling skills extremely proficient. Clearly, the card that was the diamond Jack, which had just exploded the tree trunk, had come from this headless knight.

The spot where the headless knight stood was at least 2,000 meters away from the mechanical monkey, and a strong wind was now beginning to blow. That a paper playing card, flung by hand, could traverse such a vast distance of 2,000 meters and precisely strike the tree trunk in the mechanical monkey's hand, completely obliterating it while the card itself remained intact, spoke volumes of the terror that was the headless knight.

After a brief moment of shock, the mechanical monkey ignored the headless knight, turned around, and slammed the other half of the tree trunk down, continuing its assault on the glass cover of the Spider Platform, intent on utterly smashing it open.

With a flick of his fingers, the headless knight on the mountain top sent out another paper playing card. A sharp whistling noise rose again, and the card overtook the previous one, with the result that the other half of the tree trunk in the mechanical monkey's hand exploded into smithereens. Subsequently, the second playing card, unharmed, became embedded in the glass cover of the Spider Platform; this card was the club Jack.

After being thwarted twice by the headless knight, a flash of red glinted in the mechanical monkey's eyes, ready to release a red beam to attack the distant headless knight. However, it seemed to remember something, glanced at the knight atop the mountain, the thunder and lightning in the distant sky, and finally at the Spider Platform on the beach. The red light in its eyes quickly dissipated, and it retreated hastily, leaving the beach behind without a further glance at the Spider Platform on the ground.

The mechanical monkey's retreat was incredibly fast, and in no time, it had left the beach. After a few tumbles, it returned to the woodland. Once in the forest, there was a rapid shaking of the tall trees, which then returned to normal. The mechanical monkey that had entered disappeared without a trace.

The mechanical monkey's retreat was swift, but the headless knight on the mountain top did not take action, his body turning as the mechanical monkey moved, as if watching with invisible eyes as it left.

Seeing the mechanical monkey suddenly leave, the people in the Spider Platform were somewhat shaken. They had thought they were certain to die this time, only to witness an enigmatic headless knight appear and scare away the mechanical monkey. Compared to the mechanical monkey, the knight's headless appearance instilled even greater fear in them. Now that the headless knight had chased away the mechanical monkey, it was uncertain how he would deal with them next.

The headless knight stood motionless on the mountain top, the only thing moving was the scarlet cloak fluttering in the mountain wind, conveying an air of inscrutable depth. Then, a cloud of smoke approached, enveloping the headless knight in its midst. When the smoke cleared, the figure of the headless knight had vanished without a trace, leaving one to wonder where he had gone…

Yan Fei, risking the danger of being struck by lightning again, was about to break through the electric grid of the lightning controller to support the Spider Platform, when the situation there unexpectedly turned around. A mysterious headless knight suddenly appeared, using two paper playing cards to frighten away the mechanical monkey and then disappeared as well.

Yan Fei was astounded. Although the mechanical monkey was not a God-Level Expert, it possessed combat power on par with one. As for the headless knight who had scared away the mechanical monkey, his strength was indisputably formidable, most certainly that of a God-Level Expert. Furthermore, the headless knight was bizarre; lacking a head, he was still alive, becoming a God-Level Expert with such immense strength was a terrifying thought.

This was the African continent, the most undeveloped place in the world, with no earth-shattering figures having ever emerged in history. When had it become so dangerous, with unknown God-Level Experts or mysterious creatures appearing one after another?

Then Yan Fei recalled the information obtained from Yu Xiaozhou: China Special Duties Unit had designated the region including Mount Kilimanjaro at the border of Kenya and Tanzania as a dangerous forbidden zone, prohibiting their personnel from entering the area. At the time, Yan Fei did not understand what this forbidden zone truly meant. Now, after discovering two new beings with unimaginable powers comparable to that of God-Level Experts, he suddenly felt this place was indeed perilous, where even someone of his Strength could be killed if not careful.
