【Crackle】

The restless light of the fire, swaying in the night that had completely darkened, and the sound of the firewood burning was the only movement that could reassure people around. After sprinkling insect repellent powder around the camp, the squeaky bugs that were supposed to be out at night were gone.

After a day of trouble, the students who were tired for a day had already fallen asleep in the tent, and these bear children would only be so honest when they were asleep.

"Dean Branch, there's nothing wrong with me there."

It was already a little past three o'clock in the morning, and in the second half of the night, not to mention people, even animals would fall into a deep sleep. The few students who insisted on keeping a shift for the night were all driven back to the tent by Sixteen Nights, and after covering the blankets for Serika, who was muttering dream words such as "puffs and macarons", Sixteen Nights, who couldn't help but yawn, finally met up with Elune again.

It's just that the sixteenth night, which is considered an adult in terms of "age", is responsible for the security inside the camp, and Elune, who has some means, is responsible for the vigil outside the camp, but Rao's energy-consuming vigil has lasted for several hours, and this branch dean, who is also considered "a little old", does not show any fatigue at all.

"The perimeter is just as safe."

Seeing that the camp was also safe, Elune breathed a sigh of relief, and snapped her fingers to "light" the fire that was about to be extinguished by the cold wind.

"Maybe it's the other team that has kept the nocturnal beast on the other side of the mountain at bay, and I just saw the black smoke of the battle."

Smoky ...... How did this demon lord see this dark night when there was only a fire except for the moon......

"Ah, as long as our blood is pure, we demons are born with the ability to see at night." Elune said and blinked, "Generally speaking, at night, we can switch the retina to night vision mode, with both ultrasonic sensing and infrared detection functions, for example, what I see now you is a cloud of thermal energy......"

Don't use scientific language to explain your magical abilities! Are you also a scientist from somewhere?

"When I first probed, I found some heat sources in the distance, but soon some of the heat sources gradually decreased and disappeared, which should have been the case of an encounter."

Elune blinked again as she spoke, this time Sixteen Nights finally noticed the characteristics of Elune's "electronic surveillance" when it was turned on, and when using night vision, the demons' eyes seemed to glow very viciously from within.

This setting is too old-fashioned, and it shouldn't even be used by third-rate novelists now......

"What about distance?"

"Half a mountain, from our campsite on the mountainside to the top, it's about an hour's foot."

An hour's journey is already a very dangerous distance in the middle of the night, and in order to prevent any beasts from sneaking into the camp in the dark, Sixteen Nights did not extinguish the fires that were lit around, if the beasts on the top of the mountain were deflated elsewhere, and then they happened to find their own camp......

"Do you need me to open a defensive barrier with my faith?"

As the name suggests, a defensive barrier is a defensive net used to resist the enemy, and if you don't deliberately focus on a certain direction when setting up, the final enchantment will become very "balanced". It's just that, even if it's as brittle as an eggshell, the faith required to open an enchantment can't be ignored by the current Sixteen Nights.

However, as long as the enchantment is set up in the direction of "hidden", it should be more than enough to fool some beasts with little intelligence.

"Huh? Can I open an enchantment? ”

"Don't think I'm so poor!"

"Ahem...... Not so badly at the moment. Elune coughed lightly, "At this distance, even if the beasts detect our camp, it will take some time to invade here. And I don't think there will be ......"

Well? What will it be?

"Not good!" Elune's eyes suddenly turned red, flashing with a light almost indistinguishable from a laser pointer, "Something is approaching here very quickly!" ”

Feed! Your flag has been pulled off before it can be erected!

"Where's the number!"

"Three! Strange, suddenly it's two again! ”

"It's all good, hurry up and prepare first."

Considering the rest of the students and some idiot, if it was really just some beasts that swooped down on their camp, it would be better to solve it quietly while they were asleep.

Sixteen Night, who only brought a dagger for self-defense, took a few steps back, and he naturally knew how to "sneak attack" as if he was not even as good as a three-legged cat. As for Elune, she is much more chic, and so is Mira, maybe these white-haired demons are particularly fond of playing handsome at critical times, only to see that this "chest-threatening" branch dean stretched out his hand very simply and swiped to the side, and then drew a short spear from the "void" that seemed to be torn apart and red chaos appeared.

Look, it's not good to look at it, it seems that although this branch dean is fast, his strength is still first-class and not mixed with water.

“…… There's only a cloud of heat left! It's a little weird, you step back! ”

The three regiments have become one, is it possible...... What kind of monster will "hide" from the other side!? In that case......

"Shhh

The only person who has been cautiously reminding you just now is you!

After a skillful one-handed trick, Elune leaned down slightly. It's just that the night that should have been quiet was not as calm as expected, except for the sound of the grass and trees that could be heard even for sixteen nights, there seemed to be some strange "sound" mixed in.

【Ha...... Ha, help......]

I thought it was a roar...... Now, though, it sounds more like a human voice? Moreover, it seems that he is still calling for help......

The monsters here, can they already speak human words? Selica has already been founded, but she still dares to become a fine?

"Help, help!"

The sound grew louder and closer as time passed, and judging from the rapid frequency, it was most likely someone who was fleeing in a hurry because of some kind of danger.

It's coming, what should I do at this time!?

"Help! People in the camp over there, please help me! ”

Here it comes! The bushes are already shaking, and the next moment it is estimated that this unknown guy will ......

"The devil is coming! Demon...... Chasing after you! ”

Demon!?

"Death to those who come!"

Don't take a gun and become an ancient!

"Elune, wait!" An arrow rushed to Elune's side, stopping her with his hand as she was about to throw her spear out, and Sixteen Nights gasped as he watched a smudged hunter with a bow and arrows on his back rush out of the grass and fall at his and Elune's feet because he couldn't stand still.

"Please, please help me......"

When I looked closer, I found that this middle-aged man's face was covered with dirt and mud, but real blood......

Speaking of which, when he was just calling for help, he seemed to mention a very bad guy......

"Evil ...... The devil, the demon...... Take it...... Holding a sword...... Chased it! ”
