Mei didn't seem to react to this, and even if she was set on fire, she still maintained the original rhythm of action, so much so that everyone had the illusion that magic had no effect on her.

But after a few breaths, things changed.

It was wrapped in flames and suddenly fell, shattering into scattered sand, sparks scattering, and the silhouette of the human form ceased to exist, as if one moment it had been a threatening evil and the next it had become a real empty shell.

"It's ...... Effective?"

"The enemy doesn't look so scary......

"Let me try!"

This immediate blow greatly boosted the morale of the candidates.

The Flying Flower Flame is not a profound technique, as one of the introductory techniques of the Separation Technique, many people can use it, but the distance and power are not as good as Fei Nian.

But after all, everyone is standing on the "city wall", even the shortest place is five or six meters, and with Mei's extremely slow movements, it can be said that there is nothing they can do about them who are slowly casting spells. After the psychological advantage, everyone's movements of digging out medicinal materials were much smoother, and the previous tense atmosphere was greatly relieved for a while.

Fei Nian didn't stop long, and walked directly to the north wall - obviously his purpose was to break the deadlock and show the candidates how to destroy the evil spirit.

"Good job, that guy. Xia Fan said approvingly. Although the two are competitive, he has to admit that this hand is very beautiful, and it is definitely a big plus in the eyes of the invigilator.

"It's going to take a long time to leave the technique, what's the big deal. Seeing that the threat of Mei is limited, Zhang Yan is also active, "What he can do, my arrows can also do." ”

With that, he drew his iron arrow, drew his bow and shot at the farther ghost—

Xia Fan found that this was not a lie, although the target had to eat several arrows before falling, but the short bow was fast, and the time of a triple technique was enough for him to shoot four or five arrows, and the efficiency alone was not much lower than Fei Nian.

The others followed one after another and launched a counterattack against the charm, and the west wall was very lively for a while.

The air was filled with a scorching smell due to a large number of detachments, and although the charms continued to appear, none of them could only approach the foot of the "city wall".

With this style of play, it doesn't seem that difficult to survive the night.

"This is the night of the Great Wilderness? I don't see that. Someone said.

"Don't underestimate the enemy! In the past, this was a catastrophe for thousands of miles of red land. ”

"You also know that it was before, not to mention how much the evil qi has dissipated in the past hundred years, and the progress of the magic alone is more than a star and a half. ”

This statement was immediately agreed by many people.

"That's right, they're so slow, even if they didn't have this wall, they wouldn't have been able to catch up and bite me, right?"

"After all, the information of the Maison is decades old, so it is not surprising that there are inaccuracies. ”

"If we knew this, we didn't need to build this Laozi fortress at all, at most it was enough to build a campfire. ”

There was a burst of laughter on the west wall.

Xia Fan didn't care, he even smiled - as long as he could pass the exam, it didn't matter to him how the process was. However, when he looked at Luo Tang, he found that the latter's expression was terrifying.

"What's the matter, isn't everything going well now? It's better to stand on the wall and deal with evil spirits than to hide under a dry well, right?"

She was silent for a moment before replying, "Your plan is indeed good, but I've been wondering why Luo Qing put so much emphasis on fighting within the scope of the fire, and the meaning of the phrase 'once the light of the fire is lost, the danger of the charm will be greatly increased'. ”

"You don't know?" Xia Fanqi said, "Aren't you also a disciple of the Luo family? ”

Luo Tang glanced at him incredulously, "Who told you?" Luo Qing is a rare genius in Youzhou, how could the Luo family put her and ordinary disciples together to teach. No matter how big the family background is, the manpower and resources at his disposal are limited, how can all disciples be treated equally, even the Privy Council can't do it. ”

Well, I seem to have made another common-sense mistake. Xia Fan coughed twice, "Uh...... So what did you find?"

Luo Tang didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "The place where we found the pile of bones is five miles farther than the location you said, how long do you think it will take to reach Qingshan Town at the speed of the charm?"

The answer is self-explanatory.

It will take more than half a day for the foot journey of the Fang Shi, and if it is replaced by this group of evil people, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach it in four or five days. Considering that they are inactive during the day, this time is likely to be doubled.

"They don't have to be resurrected from the dead, are they? Xia Fan pondered, "Since the evil night is transformed by evil energy, there is no trace of the charm in the evil night, and it seems reasonable to appear casually." ”

"Whatever, casually?" Luo Tang's serious expression seemed to be shaken a little, and she finally managed to control her expression, "Forget it, just when you say it is reasonable, but look there." ”

With that, she held out her finger and pointed to a house in the northwest direction.

It is located at the end of the street, and due to its distance from the "fortress", the demolition team did not raze it entirely, and still retains a height of about one floor. Diagonally diagonal to the town's wellhead prevents it from being fully illuminated by the torches, creating a large area of shadow behind and to the sides.

Xia Fan squinted and looked at it for a long time before he got used to the darkness.

At that moment, the hairs on his back suddenly stood on end!

When the charm passed through the shadows, the speed suddenly became several times faster, and the original stiff movement was like a fast forward, and in the blink of an eye, it moved from the back of the house to the open space in front of it, and only then did it return to its "normal" forward posture when it entered the light range again.

No, the ghost's movement in the shadows is their normal level!

The glow of the torches was like nails, nailing them to their place.

Xia Fan instantly understood Luo Shang's solemnity.

Their superiority rests entirely on the wavering light of the fire, which is bound to be further diminished as the night continues. Once the protection of the fire is lost, it is difficult to say whether the candidate can perform a complete magic in front of the ghost, and if a gap in the defense line is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He now finally understood why the Eternal Kingdom had been devastated by a great desolate night.

In the era of no electricity, no matter how prosperous the city is, most areas will be shrouded in night after the sun sets. The interior cannot be defended, and the towering walls are nothing more than decorations. Not to mention the remote villages and towns, oil lamps and candles are not necessities, and it is almost impossible to see the slightest light at a glance, and the fate can be imagined.

In other words, the more backward the level of social development, the stronger these evil cults will be.

As for this, Xia Fan can only hope that each group will take care of their own torches.

......

"It is known as the most difficult in the bargeal examination, and the last time it was opened, it was damaged by more than 30%, so that the Privy Council admitted its mistakes, is this only the extent of it?"

On the roof of a house in the outer circle of Qingshan Town, the two members of the examination team and the invigilator stood in the wind, looking at the center of the town where the fire was flickering. Their figures seemed to be hidden in the night, and it was difficult to see them if they were a little farther away. Although there were flashes of charm under their feet from time to time, none of them noticed the existence of the three people.

The first to speak was still the short man. Since receiving the news that the wooden kite had been burned and all the candidates were forced to stay, he asked for a closer look at the performance of the candidates. However, Shen Chun knew that the other party was mainly coming for the candidate named Xia Fan.

To be honest, he was also surprised that things would suddenly turn out like this, and the series of news that came back on the sixth day almost dizzy him, and it could even be said that it subverted his cognition - in order to achieve his own goals, he did not hesitate to risk turning his face with the Luo family and set fire to the wooden kite; when all the candidates were stranded in the town, they cooperated with the Luo family to jointly defend the Great Wilderness Night; Qingshan Town was renovated, the houses built by the Privy Council were demolished, and a small fortress was raised in the center in a day and night. And it all started with one person. The most ridiculous thing is that the Luo family actually accepted Xia Fan's approach instead of putting all the blame on him.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew the origin of this person, Shen Chundu was a little skeptical that in addition to the three families of Kaifei, Luo, and Fang, there was also a big family surnamed Xia in this Shikao.

Judging from the rather emotional and appreciative expression of Lord Tyrant, I am afraid that there have not been such twists and turns in the taxi examination for a long time.

Only this short man still seems to be a little dissatisfied, "I thought that a lot of evil things would make them scramble for a while, but seeing that now, that person named Xia Fan doesn't seem to have made a move?"

"It's not just this level, it's that he makes it this way. Ba Xingtian touched his beard with satisfaction and said, "The Privy Council has also designed several examination rooms that require cooperation, but the results are always unsatisfactory, and there has never been a situation where all the candidates are in a group. This scheming and decisiveness, as well as the grasp of people's hearts, can definitely be called one in a million. If you can do this, why do you need to do it yourself? Those who are proficient in magic and talismans are as many as they need in the Privy Council. ”

"That's right, but you're not unaware, what I'm going to do is so dangerous that I will inevitably have personal adventures, and I'm afraid it's hard to do it if I have a scheming. ”

These endless words made Shen Chun's curiosity suddenly arouse, but the cold gaze cast by the tyrant quickly dispelled his follow-up thoughts.

At least one thing he was sure of.

That is, this short man, who is by no means a real ombudsman.

His identity may be more complicated than he thinks.

It's just that Shen Chun is puzzled that he is obviously talking about a thousand things, but there is no heaviness in the short man's tone, but he is extremely brisk, as if he is enjoying it.

"It's not hard to try. "Ba Xingtian took out a strange talisman from his bosom—unlike those spells written in cinnabar, its strokes were purple and shiny, as if it were alive," the Inspector has the authority to control and adjust the examination process, and adding some difficulty naturally includes it. ”

As his words fell, the talisman turned into ashes and dispersed, and the fog in the distance suddenly became much thicker. Immediately afterwards, the newly appeared more than ten charms no longer blindly moved forward, but converged into a group, forming a black shadow whose body expanded several times!
