Chapter XXVIII
an hour.
Two hours.
Four hours......
Six hours passed, and from late evening until the early hours of the night, there was no movement.
Most of the villagers have been unable to sleep, and for nearly a month they have been in fear and under unimaginable mental pressure.
With the Abyss Knight guarding this night, many people instinctively felt at ease and slept more peacefully than before.
"What are you thinking?" Dongli asked, seeing that Chen was confused, he put away the alien magic book in his hand.
The book of alien demons is not thick, but it records almost all the demons that have appeared in the Canglan Continent, and he tried to find clues from it before, but the result is naturally fruitless.
"I wonder how this demon exists. ”
Chen Gou had just searched his mind for the movies and TV series he had watched, and he vaguely felt that this mysterious demon should have something in his memory.
It's just that I've watched too many film and television dramas, and the demons and monsters that have appeared in them are uncountable, and they're a bit old, so I can't figure it out for a while.
"It doesn't matter what way it is, as long as he appears, he will definitely leave a trace!"
Dongli snorted coldly: "In short, no matter how much it costs, I will find him out and kill him." ”
This is the first mission for him and Chen Gou to join the Abyss Knights, and the reward is small and the face is big.
The failure of the first mission will have a very negative impact on their position in the hearts of the bosses of the department.
Chen Gou didn't speak, he was afraid of death and spared his life, he was not as obsessed with things like face as Dongli.
I don't know how long it took......
"Ah...... Don't come here!"
"Get out of here!"
Suddenly, a sleeping villager in the east let out a terrible scream.
Chen Gou was facing this direction and looked at it from the beginning.
I saw that the middle-aged villager first sat up from the ground suddenly, and his hands were desperately scratching at his chest and neck, tearing his skin without stopping.
Soon there was a blur of flesh and blood.
And always keep your eyes closed, as if sleepwalking.
Chen Gou hurriedly summoned the Goddess of Dawn, and a sun flare fell on the villagers almost instantly.
But the villagers did not wake up, screaming even more frantically, tearing hard, but the surface of their bodies showed scars burned by the sun.
"The power of light can't be expelled?"
Chen Gou's heart sank, and the sun flare didn't play any role.
This means that the mysterious demon is either powerful enough to ignore solar flares, or the main body is not nearby.
Or, it's not strong enough to ignore the Law Skill, but the Solar Flare can't hurt it with an attack.
Chen Gou prefers the last option......
Burst!
Two bloody arrows suddenly shot out of the villagers' bodies.
One is the heart, where a large hole the thickness of an arm appears, and the heart bursts directly for no reason.
One is the throat, carotid artery and trachea were torn alive by the villagers themselves!
In the blink of an eye, in less than a minute, a living adult man died strangely on the spot.
Silence as death!
All of them looked ugly and looked at the corpses lying quietly in a pool of blood in fear.
There was a creepy smell in the air, and the villagers were terrified.
"It's definitely mental demagogy, otherwise why would he kill himself?" affirmed one of the Wildfire Clans.
"Shut up! If it's a demagogic suicide, how can you explain the hole in his heart?"
Dongli's tone was cold, he was in a very bad mood, and he felt a deep provocation and contempt, and the other party was simply unscrupulous!
"It's a fantasy!"
Chen Gou affirmed, and then asked Dongli to hook his neck with his arm from behind, making a look of oppression and suffocation.
"If someone attacks from behind, the reaction of an ordinary person can only be to tear like this, the longer the suffocation, the more crazy the tearing becomes, and that person can also pierce the heart from behind. ”
Chen Gou turned the corpse over, and sure enough, he saw that there was also a bloody hole in his heart behind him.
"Still that question...... How does a fantasy scar in reality?"
"Then there needs to be someone who goes through this illusion and wakes up alive to tell us what happened!"
Chen Gou narrowed his eyes and examined the five members of the Wildfire Team...... Only the Awoken will have a chance of surviving that illusion attack.
The witcher who wanders on the edge of life and death, which one does not have an instinctive perception of danger.
Feeling his gaze, they immediately retreated in unison.
But there was one exception, and that was their young female captain.
"My innate skill is Soul Link, which allows me to connect my soul to another person and perceive everything he is going through, but my soul suffers the same attacks as him. ”
"What do you want?" said Chen Gou in a deep voice.
"I want the promise of the two knights!"
The female captain and Chen Gou looked at each other: "The Wildfire Squad will be a subordinate of the two adults, and they will be sheltered in the name of the Abyss Knights." ”
"No, it's too dangerous, didn't you see the terrifying scene just now, it's too late for you!"
"Yes, Angeli, what if it succeeds, these two knights are too young...... I'm afraid I won't be able to give us what we want. ”
The team members were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly persuaded the captain not to be impulsive, and even accidentally said something that should not have been said in front of the Abyss Knight.
"Don't worry, this matter is done, as long as you don't find your own death, we can still do it if you are promoted to the gold-level demon hunting group within five years. ”
Dongli activated his mana, and a golden lion phantom suddenly appeared behind him.
"People of the House of Arislan!"
The people of the Wildfire squad exclaimed, and their attitudes all changed subtly.
A young Abyssal Knight and a young Abyss Knight with the background of the Areslan family are two completely different concepts.
"Needless to say, I've already decided. ”
Angeli decisively clapped her hands and said: "Please make an oath between the two knights, and Angeli will gamble with her life." ”
"Don't make it so tragic, the situation is not as dangerous as you think, the body of the awakened is much stronger than ordinary people, we have enough time to save you. ”
For the Wildfire team's defection, it doesn't mean that you can just leave it alone if you make an oath and accept it.
A knight's oath is a duty!
In the future, the Wildfire Squad will help him and Dongli on missions or to become stronger, but they will also need to help the Wildfire Squad in times of crisis.
In short, it is equivalent to the existence of knights and subordinates.
Almost any Abyss Knight has such a cluster behind him.
Next, after carrying the body away and cleaning it up, everyone waited again.
The villagers had just experienced a terrible accident, and they were completely sleepy for a while, and their hearts became even more panicked and even desperate.
Even the Abyss Knights can't seem to protect them, is there really no way out of Shiraishi Village?
One by one, the villagers glared and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Three or four hours passed, and no one slept, and the demon did not come again.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, it was still quiet in front of the church.
Chen Gou gradually had some clues in his heart.
"At least two people died in the previous few days, and it is impossible to suddenly reduce it tonight, but the attack did not happen again, so...... There must be a certain condition that must be met when an evil demon descends to kill someone, and this condition has not yet been met!"
"What will this condition be?"
Chen Gou's eyes swept over the faces of the villagers, and the villagers did not dare to look at each other, which was very impolite, and they all bowed their heads to avoid it.
A spiritual light flashed in Chen Gou's mind in an instant.
"It's sleep! The condition for the demon to appear is not at night, but sleep, and only those who are asleep will be attacked!"
Thinking of this, a name that had left terrifying memories in his childhood emerged.
He had probably guessed what this strange demon was.
But at this moment, a slightly immature scream sounded.
It turned out that there was a young man who couldn't hold it anymore and sat on the ground and fell asleep, and the evil spirit descended......
