Chapter 33: A Demon Strikes
"Hey, get up! Since you can't sleep, you don't have to force it, little brother, you haven't actually fallen asleep at all, have you? Aiolos said with a grin.
Ling Jian opened his eyes slightly, frowned and clearly conveyed his displeasure: "Even if I can't sleep, I am indeed resting. If you come from a boot camp, you should know how to rest on the battlefield! ”
"Ah, my little brother is really angry when he gets up." Aiolos still spoke in the same flirtatious tone, "Well, I'm sorry to disturb you...... However, I always thought that the dormancy method of sleeping without sleeping was a deceptive trick, but I didn't expect that someone actually used it. ”
Tut! Ling Jian was speechless, his dormant state was completely disturbed, and he opened his eyes completely unhappily: "Okay, I'll be in charge of the vigil tonight." So now please let me sleep for a while! ”
"Okay, you're in charge of the first half of the night, and I'm in charge of the second half of the night?" Aeolos proposed.
Of course, Ling Jian had no objection.
However, after the discussion was confirmed, Aiolos still had no intention of leaving: "Little brother can't do this, since you are in the collective, let's get along with everyone!" Don't hide in a corner by yourself. Then he pulled Ling Jian out of the car without saying anything, "It's about to be dinner, let's chat with everyone." ”
Although his face was full of unhappiness, Ling Key quickly restrained the expression on his face and calmly followed. Sure enough, when you "just wake up", your restraint will decrease!
Ling Key was well aware that Aiolos' proposal was also a training subject for the boot camp - that is, to quickly familiarize yourself with your companions in any situation, so as to maximize the full strength of your team in battle. However, unfortunately, Ling Key's worst skill was this subject, and he was able to pass the test completely relying on the initiative efforts of his companions at that time.
However, it is still possible to pretend to be good at it for the time being.
As night fell, the campfire in the middle of the camp burned, and the adventurers took the opportunity of dinner to quickly mingle with the travelers' escorts, and if they were not in the wilderness, they would have had a good time drinking and having fun.
However, none of the people present were reckless and impulsive, and they quickly restrained themselves and went to rest early. When marching in the wilderness, it's crucial to get plenty of rest.
Ling Key was on duty as he had planned, and he was joined by three heavy machine gun shooters from the convoy, monitoring every plant and tree around the camp from three turrets.
There were a few more adventurers among them, but they were scattered in other corners of the camp - it wasn't good that the camp was too big, and the vigil needed to be increased as well.
In the light of the bonfire, Ling Jian casually flipped through a book that he had taken out of nowhere.
On the night of February 14, I had been away from the teacher's house for almost a whole day...... Sure enough, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it!
Ling Jian pondered, although he would be said to be boring, but for his part, he did prefer a "spotless" regular life.
"Hey, little brother! It's not okay to be in a daze during the vigil! Suddenly, Aiolos' bright and hearty voice rang in his ears.
Ling Jian raised his head suddenly, he didn't even notice when the other party came to his side! However, this did not mean that Ling Key was not on duty properly, he believed that any disturbance around the camp would not escape his senses...... Usually that's the case.
"You're back?" Ling Jian said quietly.
The man had quietly left the camp just now, and Ling Jian had indeed noticed it.
"Haha, I really couldn't hide it from you?" The handsome blonde guy didn't look panicked after being exposed, he scratched his hair and said, "Thank you brother for not exposing it, please keep it a secret." ”
Ling Jian snorted: "I'm just too lazy to care about other people's business. ”
"Mmmm, nosy is a good quality." The handsome blonde guy nodded repeatedly, "Okay, change shifts!" Little brother has worked hard, go and rest! ”
Ling Jian realized that it was past midnight, and it was now the early morning of the 15th.
Still, he shook his head: "I don't need to rest. I won't rest in the wilderness nights. ”
"Oh? So vigilant, huh? Aiolos simply sat down next to him, "It's not okay to be so tight all the time...... I wanted to say that, but honestly, I can't sleep peacefully in the wilderness. It must be the aftermath of the boot camp! ”
Ling Jian suddenly asked, "On a night like this, what is your level of detection?" ”
"Well, it's not that I'm bragging, it's as sharp as neurotic......" Aiolos said, patting his chest, and suddenly his face changed, and he immediately turned his head to look at the darkness across the camp.
"Then it's certain." Ling Key said, then pulled out a short-barreled shotgun from behind him and pointed it into the darkness, pulling the trigger without hesitation.
"Boom!" I don't know what kind of ammunition he used, or if it was just because the night was so quiet, and the gunfire exploded like thunder.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on!" The machine-gun shooter in the turret almost jumped out in shock, and the searchlight on the machine gun immediately swept towards the dark area.
But nothing was found.
Everyone in the tent also woke up, and just as someone was about to ask what happened to Ling Key, a human wail suddenly sounded in the darkness on the other side. Then there was the roar of another man, and the sound of fierce battle.
"Enemy attack! It's Warcraft! ”
It seemed that the adventurers on the night vigil over there were fighting, but soon a second scream was heard.
"Monsters invade the camp, machine guns can't shoot!" The shouts of the shooters were heard from the turret.
"What is it?" Old Dake asked Aeolos and Ling Key, "Did you hit it?" ”
Ling Jian shook his head: "It was dodged, it is an agility type of magical beast, it looks similar to a cheetah, but it is black." ”
Aiolos added, "It's really fast, and we're only seeing an afterimage. "And that's thanks to the night vision effect of the boot camp badge, otherwise it's impossible to see what the attacking monster is.
As he spoke, the rest of the camp spontaneously spontaneously took action. The enemy is strong, and even a person who is killed cannot cause the adventurers to panic, and they are better than the vast majority of regular witchers in this regard.
Uncle Guozi-faced commanded his men, shouting and shouting to overturn the tent that blocked the view, and he himself drew his bow and arrows and waited for it, his eyes fixed on the front.
"Phantom Leopard, you should be at the centurion level." Fan Li narrowed his eyes, and the short sword danced up and down between his fingers, "It's a tricky demonic beast, everyone get out of the way, don't let it get close!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and prepared to do it himself.
At this time, the fat and thin brother stood in the way: "Uncle, just forget it with your knife." Just a leopard, give it to our brothers! ”
The fat brother was holding a tower shield, and the thin brother took out a few steel rods from his backpack, assembled them into a spear at the butt, and met them one after the other.
Fan Li was squeezed aside with a short sword in his hand, his face full of astonishment and embarrassment.
Among the Witchers, swords and firearms are in an almost awkward position, and while they are useful, they do have very limited effectiveness. Against many large demons, even if you stab them all, you may not be able to break through the defenses - because the enemy's leather armor scales are even thicker than the full length of your blade!
Therefore, the position of the shortsword envoy has always been in the same awkward situation.
In the middle of a while, because some adventurers pushed open the tent, everyone finally saw the leopard-shaped demonic beast that raided the camp. and the victims of its mouth......
