Chapter 35: The White Bone Fire
Ye Mo had palpitations.
And it was Tang Chen who noticed it one step later than him.
Fireballs burning with white flames fell from the sky and fell to the horizon, leaving the horizon pale.
The terrifying light was like a sun, and the white light spread from afar, extremely dazzling, and then the mountains and forests were exposed.
On the surface, there was a slight tremor, and some rubble rolled down.
"That'...... What is that? Wang Xiaochun's mouth opened wide, and the gold coin in his hand didn't know when it fell to the ground.
From the moment the white flame appeared, the icy aura rolled in, directly taking away the stuffiness of the area.
However, that kind of coldness was deep into the bone marrow, as if the wind was blowing from the underworld, and Tang Chen and the others shivered at the same time.
"Skeleton Priest!" Ye Mo gritted his teeth and said word by word.
The white flame in the distance was the white bone fire of the skeleton priest, tempered with the souls of tens of millions of Green Goblin dwarves, and Ye Mo was very familiar with it.
The Skeleton Priest, a demon from the third layer of the abyss, really appeared now?!
Its creature level is from level 10 to level 20, even in the third layer of the abyss, this is a well-known existence.
A single skeleton priest can rule a large territory, which is so large that it is almost comparable to a province in China.
And that's just one.
In the previous life, Ye Mo would not be afraid of the skeleton priest at all, because this kind of existence only appeared a year after the end of the world, and at that time, many demon hunters were above level 10, so they naturally wouldn't worry too much.
But now.
Ye Mo was really silent.
There was no doubt that this skeleton priest was the one that heard the sound from the drone last time, and Ye Mo didn't know what method it used to come out of the chaotic space passage and land on Earth.
But undoubtedly, this is a bad omen.
He felt more and more that his rebirth seemed to have changed too many things, and the trajectory of history had become more and more contrary to the previous life.
This is a very bad sign.
In particular, the appearance of the skeleton priest completely broke the little luck left in Ye Mo's heart.
A skeleton priest is much more ferocious than a walking corpse.
Ye Mo took a deep breath, judging from the place where the white bone fire fell, it was in the north of Qiantang City, and there was a city in between.
"It shouldn't be able to get over anytime soon." Ye Mo was secretly glad that the Skeleton Priest appeared in Jiangcheng, which was slightly smaller than Qiantang City and had a large population, so it could at least withstand a small part of the time of the Skeleton Priest.
This is the sorrow of this age!
Even Ye Mo was not exempt from vulgarity, he could only pray now, using the lives of the people of Jiangcheng to delay the pace of the skeleton priest, so that he could gain precious time.
Level 10, as long as Ye Mo can reach level 10, then at least there is a possibility of survival.
Ye Mo was sure that the Skeleton Priest would definitely come to Qiantang City, it was only a matter of time.
Because in Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province, there are only two magic steles.
One is located in Qiantang City, and the other is located in Nanshan City, which is still far from here.
The Abyss Demon descended on Earth, first, to expand his territory, and secondly, to spread the faith in the Abyss.
This is similar to the Six Gods and Demons and the Lord of the Stars, except that they only spread the faith, not occupy the territory of the human race.
And if you can destroy a Demon Pattern Tablet, it will be a great merit for the Abyss Demon, and you will receive a reward from the Abyss Master.
So one by one, the abyssal demons rushed desperately to the earth.
"Go back to Qiantang City, I will complete the task alone."
The white light in the sky completely dimmed, and Ye Mo spoke.
Originally, he wanted to use the strength of the team, but now that the skeleton priest appeared, he had to readjust his mentality.
The creature level of this walking corpse should be at level 10, Ye Mo had always been a little jealous and cautious before, but when the skeleton priest appeared, he found that in this life, although it was smooth, he was a little too careful.
Benefits and risks often go hand in hand.
Over-prudence will not do him any good for his future development.
And once the task is completed on his side, although the demon frenzy will not be launched, these abyss demons that have been temporarily gathered will continue to rush to the nearby human habitation places, and they will also rush into Qiantang City.
Tang Chen and his party are considered masters in the army, and Qiantang City will also need them at that time.
After thinking about it, Ye Mo still felt that it was better to complete the task alone this time.
Besides, there is a Xiyan help.
Several of Tang Chen's subordinates had long wanted to go back, in their opinion, this task was impossible to complete, and it was better to go back and prepare for the big battle.
"Captain......" Ye Xiu and the others said worriedly.
However, this is Ye Mo's order, and they have no choice, and for Ye Mo, these people are still useful when they encounter one or two demons, but if they encounter a large number of demons, or double-knife lizards, I am afraid they will be held back.
It's not that they're not strong enough, it's that they don't have a transformation mindset at all.
Demons and humans are completely different creatures.
It takes time for humans to adapt, a lot of information to absorb, and a lot of demon hunters' identities and attacks.
It took Ye Mo ten years to get to this point, not to mention these people.
Even Yang Ou and Chen Zifeng, when facing the first demonic frenzy, also suffered heavy losses, if it weren't for the capital and the abundant armed forces, otherwise it was very likely to be defeated.
From the fall of the abyss to the appearance of the skinner, this period of time is known as the golden year in later generations.
Because this year is a year of rapid growth for human beings, if you can't grasp the time, a year later, the real nightmare will make everyone crazy.
Tang Chen, Ye Xiu and their party finally left, after all, they didn't give the death order at the beginning, and they had to complete the task.
But Ye Mo had no choice, this time it was his job transfer mission, if he let that walking corpse launch a demon frenzy, then his job change mission would fail.
With the extent of his "bad heart" of the Black Demon Medal Badge, maybe his transfer mission will become a frenzy of destroying demons.
Then you might as well kill him!
Not to mention now, even a level 20 second-turn demon hunter would not dare to kill seven in and seven out alone in the face of a fifth-level demon frenzy.
Ye Mo knew that there was a level 8 thief behind him, but he didn't make a move, just let Xi Yan stare at it.
A level 8 thief is a great tool for hate.
……
After walking for half a day again, Ye Mo didn't find anything.
After the bone fire subsided, the weather fell back into the sweltering heat, and the surface was wet.
This road is actually a circle around the demon army, so the distance is much farther.
Fortunately, with Ye Mo's foot strength, these distances are not a problem.
What worries Ye Mo is that he has not yet identified the nest of the walking corpse.
This kind of abyssal demon with a cunning nature, with Ye Mo's understanding, would definitely not put his true body in the army.
However, it is definitely not far from the army, and there must be an altar for the Crimson Ritual in that place.
Before it was completely dark, Ye Mo arrived at a village in the mountains and forests.
The village is somewhat primitive, and most of the buildings inside are mainly two-storey buildings, and a plaque is lying there on the ground at the entrance of the village.
It was already covered with dust, Ye Mo wiped it with his hand, it was three words - Wangjia Village.
Wangjia Village looked desolate, with the smell of corrosion, some houses collapsing, and even flames gathering in the ruins.
Based on the footprints, Ye Mo knew that this place had been attacked by a group of rotting corpses and scarlet giants.
Ye Mo walked in.
Collapsed houses, shattered glass, and several farm vehicles tumbling on the ground.
Ye Mo touched a male corpse that had been pierced through the chest by glass, it was still warm.
This place was attacked not long ago.
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.
The people are one in a hundred, and the people who are broken in their hearts.
Even if he watched too many scenes like this, Ye Mo's heart was uncomfortable.
"The best perspective!"
Ye Mo's eyes widened, looking in all directions of the village, it was impossible for such a big place to be without a living person.
At the end of the village, he saw a cement fence that looked like there were quite a few people in it.
Outside the wall, however, more than a dozen carrion corpses were still wandering, seemingly interested in the living inside.
"Let's get in, let's get in!" A young man screamed and banged on the iron door on one side of the wall, his fingers bursting with blood.
"Hurry up, don't come in, we've killed too many people, do you still want to kill us?" A shrill voice could be heard from within the walls.
"Yes, it's for everyone!"
No one wants to open the door for them, and in the face of the crisis, everyone chooses to protect themselves.
"Please, save us, we don't want to die!" Beside him, there was a middle-aged man, clutching a broom tightly in both hands, dancing in the air in an attempt to drive away the carrion that approached them.
"Don't kill me, don't eat me, I'm not good, I'm full of fat." Seeing the carrion getting closer and closer, he grabbed a woman next to him and pushed it out, "Eat her quickly, don't eat me." ”
The woman screamed in horror, she couldn't have imagined that her husband, who usually doted on her, would use her to block the knife at a critical moment.
Faced with the carrion, the woman watched as if she was stupid and pounced on them.
And the middle-aged man dragged the woman's neck and blocked her in front of him.
The rotting corpse roared lowly, its twisted face as if it had a hideous grin, and it opened its bloody mouth, its body unbalanced but very quickly pounced.
The three people who were locked outside the fence all showed desperate expressions.
The young man simply sat on the ground, his eyes closed, and his teeth clenched.
Suddenly, the body of the nearest carrion sank, and the next moment a blood hole appeared in the center of the eyebrows.
