29. Ice and snow
By the time the five of us came out of the house, Sister Qiao's side had almost finished the battle, with a few pieces of clothing scattered on the ground, and some of the corpses of leather walkers that had turned into black blood and were evaporating.
"Killed?" Sister Qiao also immediately came over and asked when she saw us coming out.
Qiao Wei hurriedly shook his head and said, "Eden is not inside, it seems that she should have made a move tonight." There's a warehouse by the lake south of town, and the Skinwalkers call it the Blood Sacrifice Pond, and Muhammad isn't at home, so I think Eden might have summoned Loki in advance! ”
"Then I'll go with you!"
After saying that, Sister Qiao immediately beckoned the joint defense team members to get in the car and prepare to move away from this street, but before everyone could act, dozens of pairs of small green eyes appeared from the roofs on both sides, and I could clearly see their appearance by the moonlight-it was a large group of giant mice!
The mouse at the front quickly runs to the eaves and jumps down, and when it is in the air, it can quickly change form, like a biological transformer with a monkey with wing membranes on its sides.
The joint defense team hurriedly shone the searchlight towards the flying monkey, the monkey tried to dodge but it was in vain, the searchlight soon hit its body, and with a miserable wail, the flying monkey also pounced and fell to the ground, and then the original appearance of the leather walker appeared.
Before anyone could come forward and kill it with a knife, the group of rats on the roof flew down in the same way, and there were more and more of them.
Sister Qiao and the joint defense team members she brought with her formed a small circle back to back, and then used searchlights to strafe around, shooting down all the leather walkers who pounced in the air, but because there were too many of them, only one person among the joint defense team members could be vacated to kill the skin walkers who fell to the ground with a knife.
But soon this method of attack could not continue.
The number of leather walkers began to change from a dozen to dozens, and then from dozens to hundreds, and all of them were rats pouring towards Sheriff Red's house from all directions, not to mention to deal them a fatal blow, and it was already very difficult to stop them from approaching with searchlights!
The five of us are going to assassinate Eden, and now it is a problem to get out of this street, so we can only gather with Sister Qiao's team to deal with these crazy rats.
"Why are there so many? This can't be killed at all! Where did they all come from?!!! One of the members asked aloud as he shone off the rats with a lamp.
This question is easy to answer, skinwalkers are like a virus, it can be transmitted from one host to another, as long as it is a creature with flesh and skin can become a skinwalker, this point I have figured out as early as when I was in Shennongjia.
As long as you don't find the source and don't kill that Ancestor Skinwalker, they will keep appearing, just like the rats that keep coming over right now.
I think it must have been the Ancestral Skinwalker somewhere that found a large nest of rats, and it may be making more Skinwalkers there now.
"Where are there many rats in town? Underground tunnels or garbage dumps or something? I immediately shouted.
The members of the joint defense team were busy there to stop the rats from approaching, and no one immediately answered me, but one of the exorcists who had been with us replied loudly: "There is a ruined flood channel on the other side of the pond in the park, and if you want to find a rat nest, there should be one over there." ”
"Blood Sacrifice Pond! Gotta check it out there! Qiao Wei patted me on the shoulder, and then said to his mother: "You guys come here to top it, and Thunder and I will go to Eden!" ”
"Good! Go ahead, be careful! "Sister Qiao has no time to look at us, so she can only respond verbally.
Qiao Wei and I immediately used our searchlights to drive away the rats that were constantly surrounding, and when we got into the car we drove in after making a way out, only the one who had just answered my question followed. Qiao Wei didn't wait for anyone else, and drove directly towards the leather walkers who were blocking the road in front of him.
Together with the exorcist, I shone the daylight searchlight into the windshield, and the skinwalkers, who had been trying to get in the way, were immediately chased away by the lights, and our cars sped out of the encirclement of the skinwalkers.
Along the way, we can still see rats rushing at us, but there are significantly fewer of them. As soon as we left the block of Sheriff Red's house, the rats on the road stopped attacking us, and we could use the rats' paths as a signpost to correct our course as we went.
Sure enough, these rats all came from the direction of the park, and Qiao Wei once again took a shortcut, and rushed directly down the road and knocked down the guardrail into the park.
"Where's the floodway you're talking about?" Qiao Wei asked as he drove.
"It's on the left side of the lake, turn left now and you'll be there!"
"Okay, we're ready to go to war, capture the thief and capture the king first, and put aside the miscellaneous soldiers, we don't have reinforcements this time." Saying that, Qiao Wei also further increased the throttle.
The tall trees in the park blocked out the moonlight, which made the slightest bit of light stand out, and I could clearly see a little bit of dark red light in Fang Xiangshang, which the exorcist was pointing to. As the car approached the light, the intensity of the light increased, but I couldn't see what the light source was, and I didn't see anyone moving.
Suddenly, the scene outside the window shook violently as if there was a strong signal interference, and then the red light also spread and rushed towards us, completely engulfing the car in it, and it felt like a car driving into a tunnel of red light.
When the light fades, everything around us is completely different! The lakes were gone, the woods were gone, and we came to a frost-covered wasteland, and although it was still night, the wasteland was exceptionally bright, and the moonlight and stars reflected on the snow and ice, illuminating everything around us.
I knew very well that everything I saw was illusory, that it was all information projected into my brain, but even if I knew, there was no way I could get rid of it, and the next thing was even worse!
At first we were still sitting in the car, but after a few seconds we were all on horseback, and all of our clothes had changed to the coarse cloth of ancient Europe, and my searchlight and silver sword were gone, replaced by a round shield and a meteor hammer, and the only thing that had not changed was our appearance.
I don't know how to ride a horse, but my body seems to have adapted to the rhythm of the horse's running, and this feeling of being self-taught might have excitered me in normal times, but now I just want the horse to stop!
I pulled the reins back with all my might, and the horse raised its front hooves high and let out a long neigh. My body instinctively moved in response to the horse's movements, and I maintained a special balance that never fell off the horse's back.
It also convinced me that it was all in my head, and that we were still in that car!
"Qiao Wei! Find a way to stop your car, no matter what method you use, find a way to stop!! I shouted at Qiao Wei, but then I was stunned, just now I saw Qiao Wei and another exorcist by my side, but now I am alone on the barren ice field, and the only thing with me is the horse, or a horse that only exists in my head!
