Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Transformation of the Giants and the Coming of Darkness 3

After the rain thief put the bucket down, he looked around vigilantly, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was woken up. Cursing silently, he tugged at the clothes of the iron bucket and wiped his pants wet with pee.
Then he moved his hands and feet, stretched his waist - he maintained a movement and expression for a long time, which made his bones almost scattered, his face stiffened, and his whole body was paralyzed and aching.
Then he saw the sword that Tao Xiaozhi was sleeping, of course he knew what kind of sword it was, because his purpose was not to "steal the rain". It's the Qilin Fire--in fact, he's been secretly staring at it since they came in! He tiptoed past Amu and the fire lying horizontally, and came to Tao Xiaozhi's side.
In advance, he had heard how powerful Tao Xiaozhi and the sword were, and for the sake of safety, he felt that it was better to steal the Qilin Fire unknowingly, and he thought it would be interesting to do so, because he was a "rain thief", of course, he had to show his talent in "stealing". He squatted down, looked at Tao Xiaozhi quietly, and then made a grimace to himself (he was born with a good grimace at all, so he didn't need to dress up at all), and then he stretched out his hands, one to take the unicorn fire, and the other hand was ready to choke his neck after being discovered - the wind suddenly rose again, blowing out the coals in the fire, and landed right at the feet of the rain thief, and the tears of pain were soaring!
After the burning pain had passed, he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out the Qilin Fire - and the moment he touched the Qilin Fire, it suddenly "fluttered" and soared into flames!
The Rain Thief really screamed like a pig this time--after he screamed like this, everyone except the iron bucket woke up like a nightmare! The Rain Thief Demon dropped the unicorn fire, grabbed Tao Xiaozhi, lifted him directly into the air, and let him kick in the air--Tao Xiaozhi hadn't taken a breath from his dream, but now it was very difficult to breathe!
The unicorn fire flew into Tao Xiaozhi's hand, and Tao Xiaozhi swung his sheathed sword towards the rain thief. The Rain Thief hurriedly retreated, jumping out of Tao Xiaozhi's attack range. The others gathered around and cornered the Rain Thief*.
"Who are you?" Amu looked at the swarthy monster, which looked very much like the Moon Demon (except that it had no horns), especially the strange eyes, and wondered if he had something to do with the blood of the Moon Demon, so he came to seek revenge.
"Don't you even know the Rain Thief?" the man laughed, and shook his hair with interest.
Amu smiled: "I really don't know...... But I think you're the 'Sword Thief' for real...... "It's obvious that the Rain Thief is trying to steal the Qilin Fire."
Huoxing stared at the rain thief angrily, holding the fly swatter tightly, and said, "You are not the rain thief, you are the black devil of one of the seven evil demons!"
"Rain Thief" laughed, shook his hair proudly, and said: "Even children know me, it seems that my fame will not be small by then~~~"
The Seven Demons are not a joke in the rivers and lakes, their legends in the rivers and lakes are written in blood, that is, "bloody history"! And the Black Devil, known as the "Black Wind", makes it famous Another reason why it is famous is because he looks like the mythical "Rain Thief Demon", so he has the title of "Son of the Rain Thief Demon", to put it bluntly, it is a copycat version of the Rain Thief. That's why the fire star recognizes him at a glance.
Originally, the seven demons acted together (the two-faced man and the ghost smiled and sorrowfully provided them with the necessary intelligence information), but the black desert was greedy for merit, so he took the first step and quietly acted on his stomach, wanting to pretend to be a ghost on the big black desert, the only way for Tao Xiaozhi and others, and came up with this interesting plan.
Of course, in fact, he doesn't have to bother so much, he can just grab it, but his desire to perform is too strong, as if others can't see that he is not a rain thief or he is the proudest thing. So, he would rather stand there like a stone and not move than let his interest be swept away.
The fire star was about to swing up, but was pulled by Lan Hao. Lan Hao said to the black devil, "You can go." ”
After all, he is a man of the rivers and lakes, and if he causes less trouble and has fewer grievances, he will have a little more life, but he should also understand that it is impossible for the black devil to return empty-handed!
"Even if you give the Qilin Fire with both hands now, I won't leave-" The black devil smiled, "I don't think it's a shame to go back to the cloth bag with a few heads~~~"
Lan Hao grinned with canine teeth, his dark green eyes stared at the black devil, he screamed in a low voice, and the old scars on his face that were torn by the beast's claws squirmed slightly, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart - it seemed that he was about to change into a beast!
He roared and pounced on the black devil like a wolf, his twin iron claws out, as if to tear the black devil's face like his own!
However, the black devil's punch was faster, and the black fist was like the wind, like the darkness of closing the eyes for a moment, making people unguardable - just a simple punch knocked Lan Hao out, smashed through the wooden wall, and flew into the rolling black desert!
After all, Lan Hao is just a coachman, and fighting is not his specialty.
And Huoxing and Amu also made a move at the same time, attacking from both sides, but only a roar of the black devil was heard, and then the sky was dark, and it was pitch black, and there was nothing to see in the house, and the light of the bonfire seemed to have been sucked away by something!
Do dark devils have the ability to absorb light?
In the darkness you can't see anything, let alone fight?
In this darkness, the only thing that can shine is of course the Qilin Fire, its blazing flame is enough to illuminate the entire temple! The Black Devil may have the ability to absorb light, but there is nothing he can do about the Qilin Fire! The Qilin Fire is not an ordinary fire, it comes from the soul of the Fire Qilin, the eternal fire of the Flame Mountain, it can burn in the water, and of course it will not be swallowed by the darkness!
Although the Qilin Fire lit up the entire temple, they couldn't see the shadow of the black devil, where could he hide from such a big thing? Could it be that he ran away? The wind whirring outside sounded like a ghost crying wolf, but in fact, they thought it was from the black devil this time!
Lan Hao walked in with his injuries, his body was still strong enough, and this punch was not enough to make him vomit blood.
The wind still did not stop and the night became darker, except for the temple, which could barely be seen, the others were pitch black, looking impermeable, this thick and murderous darkness indicated that the black devil had not left, just in this black curtain!
Sure enough, there was a laugh outside that was even more terrible and unpleasant than the howl of the devil and the wolf, of course, made by the black devil, and then he said, "You cannot escape - where there is me there is darkness, and the darkness is endless, and it can never come out, like a grave!"
He is a black devil, and the darkness is his territory, and few people can walk where he is shrouded: just imagine, a person in the dark is almost as blind as a blind man, and it is easier for the dark devil to deal with a blind man than to pinch an ant to death, because others can't see anything in the dark, but he can see it clearly!
Luckily, they held on to the last ray of light, the light of the unicorn fire. If they are consumed by the night, they are swallowed up by death. But how long will the unicorn fire burn, and will it be extinguished before dawn? It may depend on its mood. And the Dark Devil is waiting for this moment to come.
If possible, Tao Xiaozhi hopes that it is not the Qilin fire that burns, but himself: he has heard others say that he has such a self (Amu and the iron bucket), so that he can go into the dark night and pull out the black devil! However, so far, he has not been able to explain why his body burns, let alone how to release these "fires" from his body! Are these "fires" running out with the "anger" when they reach the limit? Or are they ignited by some way (endocrine, etc.)? These unsolved mysteries are not something that will be figured out in a moment. Of course, if possible, he would prefer to summon the Fire Qilin, but how to "summon" it was a difficult problem in front of him. Or he doesn't have this ability at all: there is no doubt that every time the fire qilin runs out by himself, what does it have to do with him?
A few of them surrounded the Qilin Fire and looked around vigilantly - the Qilin Fire could not only drive away the chill from their bodies, but also eliminate the fear in their hearts. What if the fire goes out? No one will know what it means, it is not the sun in everyone's heart, it is an evil sword! So, although the fire of the unicorn fire still shines on them, they still sweat coldly!
Lan Hao's green eyes flashed with a cold light, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll meet him when I go out!"
Tao Xiaozhi grabbed him and said, "Aren't you going to send him to death?"
Lan Hao grinned and said, "I can see him!"
It is undeniable that some people can see a lot of things in the dark, such as cat people, owl people, etc., and they have the ability to see at night.
Huoxing grabbed Tao Xiaozhi and said, "Let go of Uncle Lan and let him go!"
Huoxing obviously trusts Lan Hao because he knows who he is!
Tao Xiaozhi let go of Lan Hao, watched him drop the sheep jacket on his body, and the back of the vicissitudes of Gundam was buried in the darkness, and then turned his head to Huoxing and said, "Who is he?"
