Chapter 43: The Hideous Grimace [Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation]

"Could it be that the natives who said 'don't leave the house for half a step' are referring to that?"

Jiang Hao frowned, his eyes staring closely at the invisible energy barrier that isolated the darkness, urging his mind to whisper to himself.

Seeing this scene of the energy barrier, Jiang Hao suddenly realized, and immediately understood the meaning of the native's words.

The original architecture of the village had the ability to dispel darkness, so staying in the house at night was the safest option for the inhabitants of the village.

However, what puzzled him was how this primitive building, which seemed to have nothing special, could have such strange magical powers.

The structure of the thatched hut is simple, there are no complex mystical magic tricks, and there are no arrays of inscriptions, how can a simple thatched hut withstand such a surging darkness?

Just as he was in doubt, his gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of the vibrating bronze bells hanging from the door of the hut.

Now the string of quaint bronze bells exudes a pale golden glow of the gods, and the lines around the body flow with a magma-like luster, which is extremely strange.

Like a divine relic, under the invasion of darkness, it erupted with its own meager strength, resisting the terrifying darkness for the village.

"Could it be this bronze bell?" Jiang Hao was extremely curious as he looked at the bronze bells hanging on the portal.

The surging darkness constantly collided with the invisible and transparent energy barrier in front of the grass house, trying to completely destroy it.

But no matter how terrifying the darkness erupted, it couldn't shake the energy barrier in the slightest, like an iron wall, indestructible.

Suddenly, the invisible and transparent energy barrier in front of the portal distorted and deformed, turning into an extremely hideous and terrifying grimace, fierce and vicious.

"it!"

The sudden terrifying scene suddenly frightened Jiang Hao, and even his heart suddenly sank down, constantly contracting violently.

He had never guessed that there was such a terrible creature in the darkness, and such a hideous face was like a demon from hell, making the scalp tingle.

Could it be that this monster is a terrifying existence hidden in the darkness, and it is also the source of the natives of the village who are so afraid of the invasion of darkness?

The fierce grimace, like the demon of the Nine Hells, bared its fangs and approached Jiang Hao, causing the energy barrier to be constantly pulled by grimaces, and there were vague signs of tearing the energy barrier apart.

Jiang Hao was calm, his slender white jade fingers pinched the transparent and crystalline Xuanyuan talisman and aimed it at the hideous grimace.

Once the energy barrier was torn apart by the grimace, he would immediately detonate the Xuanyuan Rune, and seventy-two derivative divine powers would explode instantly, completely bombarding the body of the dark creature, blowing it to pieces.

Under the pressure of the grimace, the energy barrier continued to sink towards Jiang Hao, revealing its hideous fangs.

However, just as that grimace was about to break through the energy barrier and intend to devour Jiang Hao, the transparent and invisible energy barrier unexpectedly erupted into a brilliant golden divine glow, and the stinging light instantly dispelled the darkness in the grass house, making it impossible to even open Jiang Hao's eyes.

Immediately after, a heart-rending and painful roar erupted, and the hideous grimace gradually dissipated under the baptism of Shenxia, and finally completely annihilated.

When the golden glow faded, the grass hut was once again flooded with darkness.

Jiang Hao reopened his eyes only to see that Fang Cai's hideous grimace had long since disappeared, and the energy barrier had also returned to its original state, sheltering the grass hut from the erosion of darkness.

The crisis was resolved, Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the Xuanyuan rune floating in the void with Xuanguang turned into countless light particles and dissipated.

These incredible scenes happened one after another in front of him, constantly refreshing Jiang Hao's worldview, and at the same time, he seemed to have completely understood the meaning of the native's words at this moment.

"But why is there such a strange creature in the darkness, could it be that something extremely terrible has ever happened in this wild place?" he muttered to himself as he stared at the dark world outside the door.

Because according to his online game mission experience in his previous life, whenever he found some sacred relics village or something on the map, it was accompanied by a terrifying legend and a heart-wrenching disaster.

It's no wonder that the natives in the village are so afraid of the dark, if they fall into the darkness, they will be devoured by the creatures in the darkness, and there will be no scum left, right?

In addition, what made him even more curious was the mysterious bronze bell hanging in front of every house in the wild village.

The bronze bell looks ordinary, not even the most mediocre tabula rasa spirit treasure, but its texture structure is extremely complex and mysterious, even surpassing the path pattern circuits of many high-level spirit treasures that Jiang Hao has seen.

And this bronze bell has such a terrifying restraint on the darkness.

But in any case, Jiang Hao thought that there must be some potentially unknown and terrifying crisis hidden in this seemingly ordinary village.

Such a dangerous place, it is still delicate to leave as soon as possible.

Once he had fully recovered from his injuries and had readjusted himself to peak condition, he set out to leave the place immediately.

The more he learned about the secrets of the village, the more he felt fear and jealousy of this ancient village.

This night, Jiang Hao never slept, but continued to use his skills to repair the damage in his body, and combined with the effect of medicine, the damage to the tendons and spiritual apertures was greatly repaired.

Moreover, with his "flesh sanctified" extreme realm body, his recovery ability is amazing, and according to the current trend, it will take about another day for his injuries to heal completely.

"Running out of medicine?" he said in a somewhat shocked tone as he stared at the jade bottle with a few drops of crystal liquid remaining in his hand.

It seems that tomorrow we will need to buy more elixir roots in the village market to extract the essence and smelt the medicinal liquid, so as to recover from the injury as soon as possible.

The wild land shrouded in darkness, I don't know how long it took, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the horizon.

As time passed, the white mangs became more and more huge, like a divine gate that stood up to the sky and the earth opened, and the aura of heaven and earth changed drastically, sweeping towards the Eight Desolations.

The darkness of endless horror was dispelled and faded at an astonishing speed like the tide of a receding tide under the illumination of the light.

Above the firmament, the dawn of dawn pierces through the sea of clouds, bathing the earth again.

In the silent morning light, the indigenous inhabitants of the village woke up one after another, and devoted themselves to their daily survival activities as always, as if they had not experienced the invasion of last night's darkness at all, and did not pay attention.

Even those cultivators from the outside world turned a blind eye to this, and the next day they still appeared calmly in the village market, busy with their own affairs, ignoring the darkness of last night, which was extremely strange.

It was as if he hadn't experienced the invasion of darkness at all.
