Chapter 17: Imps

When Huang Lin set up the firewood, Wu Chengdong immediately took a Molotov cocktail and threw it on the firewood.

"Whoa......

The moment the Molotov cocktail shattered, the firewood immediately ignited, and the firelight illuminated the roof of the building.

Finally, the long-lost light returned, giving the four of them a sense of security in their hearts again.

Lin Xi turned around and looked in all directions, but did not find a red dot, only three teammates were still green dots.

But that didn't make him relax, because he didn't know if his see-through hung could even be marked by a little ghost.

"Huh? Did you notice that there is an extra time marker in the upper left corner of the game panel. Suddenly, Wu Chengdong said.

Lin Xi and the others were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the game panel.

Sure enough, in the upper left corner, a digital clock appeared, a digital clock accurate to the second, and the display was exactly nine o'clock.

"It didn't seem to have this time marker before, why is it suddenly there now?" Huang Lin scratched his head.

"It should be because we have cleared the first level, so we are gradually opening up some game functions." Wu Chengdong said, he looked at Lin Xi: "Captain, what do you think?" ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "I think this time mark is related to the appearance time of the little ghost. The beginner's guide says that the imp appears at night, but it is not clear when it will appear. But I think there should be a pattern to this time. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Although I don't know if the 'little ghosts' here are the same as the ghosts on the earth, but now it's been dark for a while, and the little ghosts haven't appeared yet, so I think it may be midnight, probably after midnight." ”

"Isn't that something to wait for?" Wu Chengdong frowned.

"It's good if that's the case, otherwise from now on, we simply don't have enough energy, and if the imps are endless, we won't have enough ammunition."

Lin Xi said: "Wait another half an hour, if the little ghost hasn't appeared yet, let's take turns to sleep first, we must maintain our energy." ”

"I'm okay with that." Wu Chengdong said.

The four of them stood around the bonfire with guns in their arms, their faces solemn and vigilant.

In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed, but the so-called little ghost never appeared, and it was quiet outside, there was not even the sound of insects, and it was frighteningly quiet.

"It's half past nine, and it looks like the little ghost really won't show up until after midnight."

Lin Xi glanced at the time on the game panel and said, "Now, me and ...... Chun Yurou, rest first, and wake up the two of us at half past ten, take turns to rest, even if you can't sleep, close your eyes and recuperate. ”

"I'm okay with that." Wu Chengdong said.

"Captain, you can rest, you two have killed the most enemies before, and we have no problem keeping vigil all the time." Huang Lin naturally didn't have any opinions.

"Hmm."

Lin Xi immediately held the gun and lay down against the wall next to the patio two meters away, racing against time to recuperate.

Chun Yurou hesitated, and also walked two meters away from Lin Xi, sat down against the wall and closed her eyes, but the muzzle of her gun was always pointed outside, and her eyelashes fluttered from time to time, proving that she was not at ease in her heart.

Wu Chengdong saw Chun Yurou's muzzle facing him, and while he was speechless, he moved his position without a trace.

Although he knew that his teammate's gun could not hurt him, he was weak, and the feeling of being shot through his body was not a good experience.

"I, Wu Chengdong, are not so unrestrained that I can attack my comrades-in-arms who fight side by side." Wu Chengdong pursed his lips, saddened by Chun Yurou's distrust, but he didn't explain anything.

Although Lin Xi fell asleep and felt asleep, he could still faintly hear the explosion of flames and firewood from time to time in his ears.

This is because the vigilance is too strong to fall into a deep sleep.

At half past ten, Wu Chengdong woke up Lin Xi and Chun Yurou on time.

The four of them talked for a while, and confirmed that the little ghost had not yet appeared, so they took turns to let Wu Chengdong sleep with Huang Lin, and Lin Xi and Chun Yurou kept vigil.

"The imp hasn't appeared yet, it seems that most of the time it will really appear at midnight, and there is still an hour and a half."

Lin Xi said to Chun Yurou: "You are responsible for adding firewood to the bonfire, just don't let the flames go out, and leave the vigilance to me." ”

"yes, okay." Chun Yurou nodded slightly.

"Don't waste wood, because we're likely going to have to fight all night, and the campfire is likely to be our life-saver." Lin Xi spoke again.

Chun Yurou: "Okay. ”

Lin Xi checked the gun, and then began to be on alert.

It is worth mentioning that when they collected supplies before, they obtained a lot of magazines, and those magazines were filled with bullets.

After the bullet is fired, you only need to change the magazine, which can save a lot of time.

As the minutes passed, as it got closer and closer to twelve o'clock, Lin Xi's spirit gradually tightened.

"What the hell is a ghost? Is it a ghost, or a monster? ”

Lin Xi tensed his mind and glanced at the time on the game panel, it was only half a minute away from zero o'clock.

At this moment, the temperature in the air seemed to begin to decrease, and gusts of wind blew, making Lin Xi couldn't help but shiver.

"Wake up and get ready!" Lin Xi shouted softly.

Wu Chengdong and Huang Lin, who hadn't fallen asleep much, got up all of a sudden.

"Where, where?" Wu Chengdong said nervously.

Without waiting for Lin Xi to answer, suddenly a thick fog began to appear on the top of the building.

Not only the top of the building, but also the downstairs, and even the entire Jedi Island, began to appear in thick fog.

Because it was already early in the morning, the full moon in the sky covered the island with a layer of silver frost, so that it would not be impossible to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.

Looking down from the top of the building, there is also a thick fog in the distance.

And as the fog appeared, some strange sounds also came out of the fog.

At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly found that there were more dense points of light in his field of vision.

The dots of light were orange, too numerous to count, so many that it made his scalp tingle.

"Hiss......"

Lin Xi gasped, if those points of light were all imps, if those imps would all take the initiative to attack them, they would not have any chance of surviving at all.

Because their bullets don't add up to the number of imps.

Suddenly, Wu Chengdong's body trembled, and he hurriedly pulled Lin Xi's clothes.

In fact, there is no need for Wu Chengdong to remind him, Lin Xi and Chun Yurou, as well as Huang Lin, have all discovered the situation.

I saw that seven or eight meters away, a 'monster' slowly appeared in the dense fog from illusory to solid.

It was a blue-skinned imp with two black horns on its forehead that curved upwards, white eyes like dead fish eyes, and a pointed nose.

At the end of a pair of slender arms, there are sharp claws with only four fingers, and the lower legs look like horse legs, and there are no toe hooves.

And on the tail, there is also a monkey-like tail with an eerie flame at the end of the tail.

The height of the monster, about one and a half meters, and the body is half-squatting, and it seems that it will burst out at a terrifying speed at any time to hunt the enemy.

The moment the 'monster' appeared, Lin Xi and the others were discovered.

"Da Da Da ......"

Lin Xi's scalp was numb, and they shot without hesitation.

Dense bullets swept by, knocking the monster to pieces.

"Dead?"

"So weak?"

"No......"

Lin Xi and the four of them were stunned, they were even prepared to be injured by physical attacks.

However, the monster was unexpectedly fragile and vulnerable to bullets.

"This is the imp?" Lin Xi was stunned, because he felt that the shape of that little ghost was so familiar.
