Chapter 28: Evil night

"This fog...not normal!"

"Nonsense, fog is divided into morning and night, have you ever seen fog at

dusk?"

"If something goes wrong, there must be evil...Is it really the Great Wild

Night?"

"Sure enough, it sounds like you have experienced it."

"But this way, we can't see the movement of charm!"

Compared with the people who talked about it, Luo Qing was obviously more

calm. She directly ordered a fellow disciple, "Go, ring the bronze bell, let

the people below light the torch, and take the place according to the

previously arranged team."

"Yes."

As the warning bell passed, the candidates gathered in the small square slowly

started to move-although there was noisy and no discipline along the way, but

under the temptation to pass the test, everyone was still pretty good.

Followed the arrangement and entered their respective defensive positions.

Xia Fan also left the command post and boarded the "city wall" to the west.

said it was a city wall. It was essentially a combination of two blue brick

houses and a section of earth wall. The roof of the house was mostly

demolished, and a horizontal wooden frame was placed in the middle, which was

transformed into a fairly flat platform from a ** for drainage. The entire

western wall can accommodate more than 30 people, and the narrowest part can

also accommodate five people in parallel. This is already a "luxury

configuration" that many small cities do not have.

Luo Qingqing once hinted that if he doesn't want to face evil, he can be

placed in the backup team, but Xia Fan declined the other's kindness-apart

from his own proposal, he also wants to take a closer look at the great

wasteland. Sha Ye, and how did the alchemist fight the evil.

Candidates on the Western Wall are mainly led by the Luo family. They are

basically divided into groups of five. There are five to six groups on the

wall. There are a substitute group and a logistics team behind them. The

former is responsible for replacing the injured or unable to fight the

candidates. The latter is responsible for transporting supplies and caring for

the wounded, and the overall arrangement is quite simple and clear.

The leader of Xia Fan’s group is Luo Tang, who had a relationship before. She

should be slightly older than Luo. She is about eighteen or nineteen years

old. She looks upright and has long, jet-black hair. The back is straight, and

it has a pretty ladylike temperament. It's just that for some reason, he

always feels that the other person's eyes look at him contain a few guards and

vigilance.

Seeing the personnel arrive, Luo Tang said, "Although Luo Qing has already

explained it, I will repeat it here in order to avoid omissions. Apart from

preventing evil attacks and climbing the city wall, your main task is to keep

this The torch keeps on--" She pointed to the wood pole with the flames

blooming nearby, and there was a wood torch like this almost every three to

four meters, and she looked like a swaying flame fence on the "head of the

city". , "Once you lose the light of the fire, the danger of the charm will be

greatly increased, so no matter what happens, you must ensure that the torch

is not lost."

"What if you lose it?" someone asked.

"Then live and die, each depends on ability." "Di Yan" leaning on the corner

said the grassroots in the mouth.

After two days of getting along, Xia Fan also knew a little more about this

person-his real name was Zhang Yan, and his eldest brother Zhang Shi was

formerly called "Brother Yan", and the two brothers were born in the Orion

family. He was originally a villager, but because of the ability to perceive

qi, he was favored by the county magistrate and supported the two to read and

literate and participate in the academic examination.

Before wearing a Confucian scholar's blue shirt, this person's behavior was a

bit awkward, until he led the hunting team up to the wild, and changed back to

a leather jacket and boots, the whole talent seemed natural. Now with a short

bow on his back, he looks like an experienced hunter.

"Of course not!" Luo Tang said in a bad mood, "If the torch goes out, you

should immediately retreat to a place with light, and wait until the bench

comes up with a new torch, regain your position!"

"That's right... That's what I meant." Zhang Yan whistled.

Luo Tang also didn't bother to pay attention to him, and then said, "Charm

belongs to the "Nightwalker", afraid of light and burning. Li, Dry, and Shake

have good restraint effects. The distribution of medicinal materials is also

based on these two types of spells . It's just that everyone's proficient

techniques are different. If you feel that you are not good at divorce and dry

techniques, don't waste medicinal materials and leave it to those who are good

at it. The mahogany weapon also has a good effect of driving the enemy away,

just hold your sword around the torch. "

Xia Fan glanced toward the wooden basket where the medicinal materials were

placed, and she saw a lot of powdery substances--that should be the sulfur and

powdered nitrate that Li Shu often used.

"What should I do if the entire city wall is lost?" Zhang Shiwen asked in a

huff. Unlike Brother Yan, he is a half circle larger than ordinary people,

with thick hands and feet, and he doesn't seem to be able to climb over

mountains. Most of the time, he was very reticent, which matched the stone in

the name.

"Back to the small square, the Luo family will launch the final alchemy to

ignite the tea house and the hotel. The materials are the sources of the

spiritual fire collected before." Luo Tang slowly replied.

"The source of spiritual fire?" Xia Fan frowned.

"Yes, although the spiritual fire is yin, it cannot drive away the charm, but

the burning house is fine. In other words, this ‘city wall’ is our last

torch."

This part is not included in his plan.

Obviously Luo Qing thought of this countermeasure.

If it really gets to that point, it will be troublesome, Xia Fan thought to

himself.

The fox demon is still recovering from his wounds in his own room. He can

neither let him go nor show her in full view with her, so he must avoid the

worst.

Half an hour later, the sun completely fell under the mountain, and the

purple-red sky completely turned to jet black. The originally hazy vision

deteriorated further, retreating to the foot of the "fortress". Xia Fan

estimated that even if a torch on the wall was not extinguished, they could

only see about 20 meters away from the street. Farther away, the firelight

seemed to be blocked by the thick mist, and could no longer move forward.

At the same time, evening breeze blew over people's heads-it did not resemble

the normal air flow at the turn of day and night, with a hint of coolness in

the warmth, but came and went invisible, as if it could penetrate the human

body, making people The back is cold.

The torch flickered.

The crowd that was still noisy before has fallen into silence unknowingly, and

the candidates can't help but hold their breath, staring at the darkness in

front of them, not even daring to breathe a trace of atmosphere.

Everyone realizes that this night will never be too easy tonight.

Suddenly, Xia Fan saw the edge of the swaying flames, and there was a strange

change-only a part of the darkness seemed to escape from the night and fog,

and fell to the dim ground.

It does not overlap the ground, but stays upright, which means that it is

neither a shadow or an illusion, but something close to the entity!

Because they were too far apart, Xia Fan couldn't discern more details except

for being able to barely see that it was a human form.

It's just that the black shadow moves very slowly, and even has an unnatural

sense of fragmentation, as if the previous step to the next step is not a

coherent movement, but a blink of an eye.

"They are here." Luo Tang whispered.

"That...is the charm?" Zhang Yan took off the short bow and held it in her

hand, completely losing her former ease.

"Mei is just a collective name... The evil in the night of the Great

Wilderness, this is the first time I have seen it." She swallowed, trying to

cover up the tension in the words.

As more darkness peeled off, the yin wind seemed to increase a lot, and the

torch of the city head shook obviously.

Xia Fan keenly noticed that those places covered by night seemed not to light

up again-once the fire light shrank, the darkness would occupy it. He thought

it was an illusion at first, but you can know by comparing the visible width

of the street. The place they can see is indeed shrinking!

The ink colors between heaven and earth seemed to merge into one at this

moment, and this fortress was the only weak light in the darkness.

As the shadows gradually approached, Xia Fan could see more clearly. The

number of them is not too much at present, about eight or nine appearing in

front of the western wall, the first of which is within ten meters of the city

wall. When its appearance was completely under the firelight, Xia Fan couldn't

help taking a breath.

"Fuck."

This evil appearance is too far from what he expected!

He thought it was a besieged city of zombies, but the thing in front of him

completely broke away from the definition of a corpse. It has only a human-

like profile, a large head and slender limbs, and most of its body is covered

by a shell composed of dirt, branches and other debris. UU看书www.uukanshu.

Where the com is broken, you can see the void inside-as if there is a

bottomless hole under the shell, but also as if there is a lot of black fog

surging.

Except for the pair of "dents" on the top of the head, there are no other

features on Mei's body-no nose, no mouth, no head and torso, which reminds Xia

Fan of those in Silent Hill. monster. Although there are differences in

appearance, the feelings are very similar: they are all manifestations of pure

and malicious, and just looking at them makes people shudder.

"Oh..."

There was a sound of vomiting around.

Xia Fan also felt her stomach churning, no matter how terrifying the monster,

she wouldn't be able to vomit it out. This disgusting discomfort has nothing

to do with shape, but something more profound...

He has never had a similar experience, and it is difficult to describe for a

while. He only feels that what is in front of him is naturally opposed to the

living. As long as it is a living thing, he will subconsciously hate and

reject it.

The only good thing is that their moving speed has not changed. A short

distance of ten meters, it took almost five or six minutes. Even zombies with

incomplete limbs can crawl faster than them.

This at least allows everyone to have enough time to prepare for alchemy.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, as long as the torch is not extinguished, charm

cannot threaten us!"

Someone shouted suddenly on the west wall.

Xia Fan followed the reputation and found that the other party was Feinian.

He raised a talisman high, and then threw out the white powder in his hand——

"Li Shu return to you, Fei Hua Yan!"

When the talisman was turned into ashes, a bridge of bright flames appeared

between the wall and the charm.

The flames are like flying snakes, rushing towards the target, and engulfing

the charm in an instant!
