Prequel 2 Nights
"It's getting dark so soon, what the hell is the weather! Look at this thick and dripping abnormal sky, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe. "A bearded man keeps an eye on the sky.
"It's hard to say whether it's a catastrophe, it's really raining heavily, this side of the demon cave is very weird, and there are other abnormalities in the rainy day, so we have to find a place to live quickly. ”
The leading man dragged a demon beast that had just been hunted and killed, and the group of three hurried to the nearby mountain village.
The red sun, which was still shining brightly just now, was suddenly obscured by the thick darkness and disappeared into the sky.
The mountain wind blowing from the weather seems to be frozen, and it is so dull that people are completely defreshed.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of the three of them walking briskly and stirring, and the sound of gasping breathing because of the hurry, the rest of the voices seemed to have been swallowed.
The attention of the three people who were hurrying had been in the sky that was rapidly and abnormally dark, and they didn't have the energy to pay attention to this unusual quiet.
"It's been a strange day lately, it's been like this when it's just been Shin, and sometimes it's dark until the next hour. I can't see my fingers, and the lighting beads don't help. The man with a sparse beard was also dragging a demon beast, and he had the most debris on him, a few steps behind.
Several of them are good at hunting demon beasts, as long as they are not too strong to deal with demon beasts, they are not afraid of attacking from behind at all.
The man in the middle was relatively silent, and it was rare to say a few words on the road, and he just nodded his head in agreement when others said it. Those who know him know that he has been so stuffy since he was a child, and over time, he got the nickname of stuffy gourd.
I didn't expect such a dull person who couldn't say a word for a long time to be the first of them to get married, which is incredible. Do women like this kind of boring man who is loyal and honest, can't squeeze out a word for a long time, and works hard?
What's the joy of living like this?
The three of them kept staring at the sky, and finally came out of the forest.
Not surprisingly, there really is a mountain village at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain village has been lit up with bright yellow ground bead lanterns.
The conditions are better, and the white dzi lamp is used, which is yellow and white, rich and poor are intertwined, and the strange is mixed with an indescribable warmth.
There is a stone monument on the outskirts of the village, and most of the fonts on the stone monument have lost ink because they have not been maintained for a long time. From a distance, you can only barely see the name of the village, which is written in a neat and unremarkable font:
Moonlight.
In the moonlight realm, there are several such village names in any country to the south, which is not surprising at all.
When Hu Zhazi saw the village, the tight strings loosened, and he smiled happily, "Finally, there is no need to sleep in the wild, the village looks quite neat, just like the inscription at the entrance of the village." ”
Stuffy Hulu glanced at him slightly, agreed, and took the lead to go down.
The darkness came faster, as if after them, and came in a round.
The three of them didn't know why they always felt that something powerful was coming behind them, but they didn't feel it before, but when they let go, their hairs immediately stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis urged them to leave quickly.
Without thinking about looking back, the three of them rushed down the mountain in a hurry, and plunged into the village. When I entered the village, my back suddenly loosened, and the creepy sense of oppression seemed to be blocked out of the village.
The warm yellow light at the entrance of the village shone on the bodies of the three people, and the scumbag found that at some point, the backs of the three were all wet, their clothes were wet and dripping, and their foreheads were covered with dense cold sweat.
The beard stubble let out a long breath, his hands and feet trembled with fear, and the stuffy gourd was not much better, he didn't like to talk, but the emotions he should have would not be less, and he had the same sense of prostration for the rest of his life after the catastrophe as the beard.
However, the leading man was much calmer, he restrained his fear, and stood in the village stone tablet boundary, wanting to see clearly the source of the terrible aura just now.
However, it was dark outside, and there was no light at all, and the neat darkness was like a line drawn with a ruler, and there was a clear line between light and darkness from the side of the stele, and the light at the entrance of the village was straight like a line, level with the stele. Outside the boundary, it was overwhelmingly dark, and when I looked up at the sky, the sky above the village was also dark, and I couldn't see any signs of dark clouds rolling in the sky.
In the ghost season, it is dark and lightless.
He swallowed hard, and then he trembled, and then he was terrified.
"What the hell?"
The three of them looked at each other, completely clueless.
The suffocating murderous aura just now is not an illusion, if it is a step late, I really don't know what will happen.
The three of them squatted down and decided to find a cheap homestay to stay for one night after calming down and deal with the demon beast in their hands.
The people in this area are not surprised by this kind of hunter with the corpse of the demon beast, and even welcome this kind of hunter into the village, almost every village has a homestay for the hunter to stay temporarily, and the host can also give a free good meal.
It was dark outside, and the inside of the village didn't seem to care at all, and at this time, most of the houses were cooking, and the smoke from cooking rose to the sky and was absorbed by the darkness.
The familiar sound of the spatula colliding and the aroma of the food are mixed, forming a different kind of warmth in the mountain village, making the three people who have just escaped from the strange darkness feel real, and the unpredictable horror outside seems to be a matter of another world.
Occasionally, there are children who are restless and carrying rice bowls, shirtless, dragging ill-fitting shoes, walking around the head and end of the village, and there is no surprise for the three extra strangers.
This is a relatively tolerant village, and there are several such villages nearby. After all, dozens of miles out here, it is a famous demon cave. Many out-of-town hunters live in nearby villages when they are too busy to withdraw. The next day, you can take advantage of the proximity to catch another trip.
Hu Stub seems to be more amiable among the three, and generally among the three, he comes forward to find a place to stay, and comes forward to call a boy to ask where to stay.
The boy pointed in the direction as he pulled the shiny flesh from the bowl.
After a while, they stopped in front of a two-story house. The house is half-new, and there is a yellow sign on a red background at the front door, which says accommodation, and the owner even carefully notes: a fine decomposition table is available.
The leader's eyes lit up, and the fine decomposition table is a rare thing, even in the town, and I didn't expect to see it in a small mountain village. But after thinking about it, it seems that the Yuezhao Daxing Palace is on the nearby Condensing Mountain, and there are often monks in the nearby villages who come down to investigate and inspect, many of them are monks who are proficient in formations, and it is not surprising to arrange the decomposition table on a whim.
The fine decomposition table is a white round platform with a diameter of one meter, which is a product of monks, and is engraved with a heavy overlapping decomposition array, which is generally used for the decomposition of precious demon beasts to ensure that not a single cent of material is wasted.
The door of the house opened, and the bright light of the skylight leaked out and fell to the ground, reflecting shadows, which was normal darkness, intertwined with light and shadow, not so dark that it seemed to swallow all light.
The three of them walked in directly, the house was cleaned up, and there was a table in front of the door, and a man of fifty or sixty years old was sitting at the table, looking at a newspaper spread out with relish, this thing was precious, it was very cheap among the monks, among ordinary people, it was a publication that could only be bought for half a year to eat and drink, and I didn't expect that the villagers of this small mountain village could also read it so casually, decompose the table, and publish newspapers, this person may have been a monk in the family, or had a special friendship with the monk.
The boss was so engrossed that he didn't notice anyone coming in.
The leader was about to make a reminder, and from the back hall of the house, a woman in her forties and fifties, neatly tidy, appeared, she saw someone coming in, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and quickly greeted her with a smile: "The three of you are accommodation, right?"
She walked up to the man and tapped the man's head with her hand, and the man seemed to notice the three of them standing next to him, and first carefully put away the books before calling out to them.
The man looked at it, asked about his preferences, and quickly helped the three of them get the things they needed for accommodation. The hostess was originally going to ask her man to eat, but this time she joined three people, and the hostess asked them if they minded, so she simply cooked a few more dishes and ate together.
The three of them haven't eaten a hot meal for two days, the hostess's skills are not bad, the guests and hosts are happy, and the food is very enjoyable.
After a full meal, the hostess packed up and went to rest. Leave the male host alone with the guests to deal with the monsters in their hands. During the chat, Hu Zizi found out that this man was a bloody man, and there were many monster skins and furs in his backyard that he had hunted, and he handled them perfectly.
"By the way, why did you come here at this time?"
The leader skillfully operates the dismantling plate, and the manual processing of the very laborious demon beast fur is easily processed, and one is peeled off without damage.
The stuffy gourd didn't say a word, but the scumbag was very talkative, twittering, seamless docking, and automatic answering.
The man was silent for a long time, thoughtful, and said, "You only arrived here three days ago, is the weather outside still normal?"
The three of them were stunned, the weather is abnormal? Yes, the weather here is super abnormal.
The leader looked at the sundial on the wall, and it was evening. It stands to reason that in such a location as the Demon Beast Forest, this time should be the most beautiful time for the sunset at dusk, but it is so dark outside that it seems to be completely covered by a black cover, and the five fingers are not visible, and the black is pure.
As they recalled, there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary outside. They came through the forest, ready to buy some goods from here, and then returned to the Windy City to take a boat back, back and forth, selling and buying, never returning empty-handed.
Hu Crumble recalled again, and a fierce spirit clapped his hands suddenly, startling everyone.
The stuffy gourd glared at the beard, but the beard didn't care, he asked the two companions for verification and said, "You remember, we had dinner three days ago, and it was still in Li'an Town at that time, Brother Li, you still asked the owner of the tavern when the light festival would start." I remember the boss looking outside, it was still bright, it wasn't all dark, and the boss told us to start at least at the end of the day. The next day we were leaving, and we were too tired to go out, so we didn't go out to see. And then we got closer and closer, and you didn't think it was getting dark for the past two days, and the more we went inside, the sun was still there at first, and then today we were walking through the forest......"
He remembered the darkness that scared the three of them just now, and his heart palpitated.
Both of them remembered, their faces pale.
The boss obviously knew what was going on, and he said to the three of them happily: "Fortunately, you run fast, if you slow down, I'm afraid there will be no bones." ”
The three of them recalled all kinds of anomalies along the way, and their hearts were terrified and happy, and then they looked at the night outside, like a man-eating demon god, terrifying, mysterious, and undetectable......
