"These monsters have one characteristic. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xie Yan looked at the barbecue party in the city and said slowly.

After witnessing this grand occasion, I can probably guess half a point.

"They love light, they are phototaxis." Xie Yan pointed down.

The fire burned more and more, but the subsequent carrion corpses continued to pour into the fire like moths to the fire.

"But it's strange that they only look for light when they're in the dark, and hide in the darkness during the day."

"Do you think this is very similar to humans?" Xie Yan turned his head to look at me and said in a tone as if he was asking himself.

I smiled, "Captain, they're humans. ”

"yes." Xie Yan also smiled softly.

He came over and patted me on the shoulder.

"Let's go, it looks like this fire is going to burn until the second half of the night."

"Everyone, the siege is over! We've won! ”

Xie Yan stood on the city wall, holding a megaphone and shouting.

In an instant, the lights of thousands of homes were lit.

Although only a faint candlelight shines through the windows of every house, the hope and support contained in it are by no means expressed by brightness.

After all, there is a group of thriving ghosts burning in the fire outside the city.

Walking down the tower, the townspeople were full of thanks and laughter, and people surrounded Xie Yan, either expressing their fear or expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

Anyway, it's all good words.

Dressed in an inky ranger cloak, I silently followed Xie Yan in white cloth armor, and I always looked a little out of place in the crowd.

At least compared to Xie Yan, it is a little incompatible.

"Who's this man, Captain?" Someone began to look at me with curiosity.

"He's a traveler and a hero who helped us protect this town." Xie Yan seems to have a high opinion of me.

Did I do anything?

I remember killing a few monsters, moving up a level, and taking them with a wooden bow.

"Wow...... Traveler, that means he's as powerful as Lord Elise? The voice of the child next to him revealed a sense of admiration.

"Please come and sit down at our house and tell us your story."

"Would you like to taste our ......?"

"Where are you from?"

For a while, the people around me seemed to be bewitched by Xie Yan and gathered around me, but Xie Yan didn't know when, he had already disappeared from the crowd and disappeared.

Hey...... This thing counts on me.

Speaking of which...... Did I hear the word 'Elise' just now?

"Little friend, what did you just say?" I put my hand on the shoulder of one of the children in the pile.

"A traveler as powerful as Lord Elise." Although I was a little big, the child didn't panic, and it seemed that he really thought I was a hero.

Elise ...... Is it Elise from Gear City? I asked, my voice eager.

"That's right." The little boy nodded innocently.

"Mistress Elise is amazing, every time she goes out in a majestic manner, and comes back with a sense of grandeur, sometimes with some strange monster corpses."

"Those monsters are scary, but Mistress Elise is not afraid of them at all."

"One of the monsters was still alive, and Mistress Elise knocked it down with a pincer."

When the children around me heard me ask about Elise, they immediately became excited, and whispered in my ear about the legendary figure in their eyes.

Cut, these little imps.

But if I really want to talk about it, I'm also a little ghost.

Alas, it doesn't matter.

"But Mistress Elise hasn't been seen in a long time......"

"If Mistress Elise were still around, we wouldn't be in such a predicament, she wouldn't sit idly by."

"I'm so scared ......"

As if remembering that there was a group of uninvited guests outside the door, the children became scared again.

When I turned around, I found that Xie Yan had reappeared beside me.

"So what the hell is going on here, what the hell is that thing outside the door?" I looked at Xie Yan and asked directly.

Xie Yan hooked my shoulder, "Let's talk about it in another place." ”

He dragged me into a room downstairs that looked like his command post.

I looked back at the people who had just seen me go, and there was something ...... in their eyes Very complicated stuff.

I went into the room and found a chair to sit down, when Xie Yan slid two small notebooks from the table.

"Look at it, this is the most recent record, do you want to drink something, here's tea." He said as he looked for something to himself.

"Ah, I'm sorry for you."

I opened what looked like the first booklet.

The handwriting is neat and the narrative is well organized.

I slowly looked at the words and gradually sank in.

The twenty-third day of the rainy month

Today, Molten Iron Ji passed through our town again and took some supplies. She always seemed to be so active, and sometimes it always made people wonder if she was really related to her siblings.

Today is also the day when our town's trade convoy departs, I heard that the town next door Anyan has a bumper harvest again, and I hope to get a lot of good things back this time, after all, we don't have much vegetables left. Alas, it is sometimes not convenient to be born in such a barren land.

However, fortunately, the yield of our other crops is still relatively high, and the handicraft industry is relatively developed.

The town's economy is barely able to sustain itself.

The twenty-fifth day of the rainy month

Gear City closed its imports to the outside world again, and occasionally I really wanted to see what kind of life was going on inside that steel barrier.

Sometimes the Molten Iron Ji will also show those novel technologies in front of the children, that is, the technology in the Gear City, it's really dazzling, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to get the qualification to enter the Gear City.

It's been two days since the trade convoy was out, so it's probably Anyan by now.

I hope all is well.

The thirtieth day of the rainy month

Received a letter from Yu Xi.

He is the only one who knows how to drive pigeons.

It took me half an hour to read the letter in its entirety, and I was shocked to read it.

The following is an enclosed letterhead.

Captain Xie Yan, please hurry up and inform the townspeople to evacuate.

It's over, it's all over here, and there's no Anyan Town anymore.

We were attacked by an unidentified black mist and some strange corpses.

It's hell here now, and I've seen with my own eyes the flesh of the coachman of our convoy being peeled off from his bones, as well as Aunt Jing and Xiaoyue, and I'm writing to you right now on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

No, it's not the end, the stripping of their limbs isn't the end.

They, they stood up, they stood up on their own without the support of their bones, surrounded by black mist.

They're starting to attack me, no, I have to run away.

(A strange unintelligible distorted font)

I ran up a high hill, and a few survivors were with me.

It was terrifying, that black fog had almost engulfed all of us in just one minute, just like the situation in Anyan Town.

No, they climbed up, and the black fog, the black fog......

(messy and distorted text)

Xie Yan, let's go quickly, leave Jianliang Town, or you

(This is the end of the text)

The second day of Arashiki

We are well prepared, and now all that is missing is the enemy.

But it's an enemy...... Maybe it's a former companion.

After discussion, we agreed that those black fogs might be plagues, and in the face of the plague, the defense of cloth armor should be better than that of iron armor, so we spent half a day equipping all the soldiers with thick cloth armor, hoping to have some effect.

In the face of a completely unknown enemy, we can only strengthen the city defenses, block the city gates, and prepare more fuel.

The third day of the month of Arashi

Nervous.

When the gates shook, I was really scared, afraid that the town would be breached by those monsters.

Damn it. Their attention is very strange, and no matter how much we attack them on the walls, their target is always locked inside the gate, and they have to break through it.

Luckily, they don't know how to climb walls, which is a blessing.

The battle lasted until the early hours of the morning, and when the sun rose, they dispersed.

Sure enough, the sun is the greatest.

I let go of the guards that held the gates and let the sunlight cover my body.

The fourth day of the month of Arashi

They love light, I know.

The reason why they rushed into the city gate that day was because the town was brightly lit, and they could see the lights of the town through the light shining through the crack in the door.

However, there were only a few torches on the city wall that day, and you can see who is bright and who is dark.

Next time, none of them will want to run.

I closed the page and found Xie Yan on the other side of the table already asleep.

I took a sip of the tea on the table, and it was already cold.

"Forget it."

I closed the door of my room and lay down in my chair, thinking about what I had just seen.

First of all, Gear City, which should be relatively close to Gear City, and Elise is indeed very famous, and often goes out of the city to play as the children say.

Then there was the pile of corpses that I saw that day, and the skulls on the high ground might be the sender of the letter just now. No wonder there are only bones left, it turns out that this is the case.

Finally, there is the destruction of the town next door.

According to what was said in the article, all of this is because of those black fogs, and according to his description, there should be a good chance that this black fog is the black fog that Elise and I saw that day.

In this way, that cave has a lot of origins.

Why does this plague-like black fog circulate like it does in the cave? Elise seems to be because of the black fog every time she travels.

These questions need to be answered.

It's decided, let's head to Gear City tomorrow!

And now, it seems like I have one more thing to do.

I stood up and put a bundle of arrows from the room into the quiver.

[Level up, current level is 6]

As I expected, the fires outside the city were still raging, and even had a tendency to spread outward.

After all, there are constantly 'new forces' adding bricks and tiles to it.

And I stood on the top of the city, picking up leaks with my bow and arrows, and specially picking and shooting at carrion corpses with residual blood.

I won't give up such a great opportunity to experience.
