The Watch of the Long Night Chapter 25 Dark Change

After a delicious (the source of the taste is more terrifying), the two cleaned up the mess, wrapped the uneaten meat in plastic wrap and put it away, and prepared to spend the night.

It was past 7 p.m., and the sky, which should have been completely dark, was still shining. If you look closely, the light is coming from the center of the basin due north. Through the still heavy fog, a small red hazy halo is formed, like a car headlight on a rainy day, giving people a mysterious and gorgeous visual experience.

Hao Song has a lot of ideas, and a guy with a big brain will naturally not ignore this change. He sat cross-legged on his damp sleeping bag, watching worriedly at the faint halo of light in the north. After a few minutes, he turned his head and asked, "Senior Rabbit, are you really just an average-scale magma oozing?"

Edward was comfortably resting against a crooked cypress tree with his eyes closed, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard Hao Song's words: "Magma seeping has always been there, and the light has always been there, but you couldn't see it with your eyesight a few days ago." ”

"Senior, your eyesight can't even see the sand on the rabbit's body clearly, is it appropriate to say this?" Hao Song didn't open which pot to mention.

"You give labor and management to go away...... Don't mention the past...... "For Edward, losing to Hao Song is definitely one of the stains on his life, and he immediately changed the topic and said: "Principal Wang personally suppressed it, I don't believe that this volcano can still turn the sky!"

Just when this pair of friends will start a new round of tongue war, the central highland of the volcanic basin a few kilometers away.

In the heart of the Cloette volcanic basin, five small volcanoes tens of meters high and the surrounding highlands have been piled up, and the cooled lava has formed typical shield condensates and banded volcanic rocks. It's just that these landscapes are covered with fine cracks, like the tired steel of metal, and although it looks like it is still a whole, it has been tortured.

At the foot of five small volcanoes, there is a huge hot spring, and even then the humid swamp air becomes dry near the small volcano. Temperatures still reach over 30 degrees Celsius at night, with air convection from the low temperatures elsewhere in the basin. So you can see the wind howling from all directions, heating up here, and then flowing back from the sky.

Next to the five small, less active craters, there are many black shadows lying on their stomachs. Combined with the light of the slow-flowing lava on the ridge, you can faintly see these shadows in the shape of various animals, as if animals from the volcanic basin can be found here. The crater lava suddenly splashed at the same time, and the sudden light illuminated most of the dark shadows.

The "animals" that appear in front of them look terrifying, their bodies mutilated, and the missing parts are all filled with gray-black volcanic ash. The fur is dull and dull, and there are even burns and tear marks. The godless, dead eyes also speak of the life of its owner.

These mummy-like animal carcasses are as immobile as specimens. From the mouth of a small volcano to the end of the oozing lava flow, the taxidermy ranged from cattle to deer to wild boar and finally to hares. The scene looked like a group of volcano-worshipping fanatics, and like a demonic gathering of lava and flame, exuding an eerie sense of evil.

For some reason, since the lava explosion just now, the five volcanoes have gradually become more and more silent, and the amount of lava seeping out has greatly decreased. However, if you can see it clearly, you will find that the fissures of the banded volcanic rock on the mountainside are shaking slightly. But the volcanic rock, which looked like it was on the verge of crumbling, was still strong and seemed to be resilient, as if a force was holding it steady.

After a period of stalemate, the fissures of the volcanic rock finally stopped shaking, and the entire highland seemed to be calm again, with five small craters continuing to seep lava at their normal flow rate. It's as if everything has returned to the original scene......

However, at the edge of the smallest crater in the West, there was an additional black shadow at some point! This standing black shadow stood out from the rest of the taxidermied animals lying on his stomach, as conspicuous as Kill Matt in the crowd. And the hot and rapid breathing, and the light that swept around from time to time, all showed that this was a living thing!

The light emitted by the dim lava could not illuminate its nearly three-meter-tall body, and it could only be vaguely seen as a leopard, with a carp-like tail behind it unconsciously swiping, and its body revealing a cyan mane like steel needles under the reflection of the lava. The end is mighty.

As the shadow's breathing changed from rapid to soothing, its gaze gradually decreased, and finally the shadow lowered its head and roared, "Whew...". It's hard to describe such a low roar, as if the pitch, intensity, length, and timbre were all purposeful, and even the diffraction of sound waves and other interactions were taken into account. In this way, it is a low roar of less than a second, but it achieves the communication requirements of accuracy, efficiency and high information content.

After this low roar was heard underground, it took about half a minute to finally respond. It's still the same type of roar, but the roar that responds feels silly and awe-inspiring. At the same time, around the smallest mountain, the specimens who were originally lying on the ground without moving, or the "Ember Slaves", lit up with a fire in their eyes, and then stood up one after another, and slowly dispersed without hesitation. Among them, the Ember Slaves in the direction of the Night's Watch Fortress due south are the largest, with about 200 of them.

These "Ember Slaves" are like the most elite soldiers, the rabbit-shaped "Ember Slaves" are the vanguard sentinels, the largest number of wild boar "Ember Slaves" are the Chinese army, the cow-shaped "Ember Slaves" are behind the palace, and the others are cruising around as mobile troops, as if they are traveling in a large army.

The initiator of this action was now comfortably lying prone in the lava of the crater, and the lava of thousands of degrees Celsius flowed over it, as if it were also lava, and looked very harmonious.

Only now the spirit looked a little tired, its glass-like eyes showing only a hint, and the head of the beast the size of a wagon's head with sharp horns resting on its overlapping claws, it seemed powerless to move even in the lava that blended with it......

In the Night's Watch Fortress, which is more than ten kilometers away from here, in the nuclear energy quiet chamber nearly 100 meters underground, Principal Hart Bihevel Wang is also full of exhaustion.

Sitting cross-legged on the ruby platform, his back bent almost arched, as if his spine was completely unable to support himself. But he still chose to sit cross-legged rather than lie down. Perhaps, in the eyes of Mo Anxi, a fat man who stood in front of him with his head bowed and his hands solemn, this was just the minimum dignity that could be retained by an old monster who was still fighting against the unwilling to sleep completely: the posture of a core leader of an organization in distress.

"As you can see, we need support, and the old man is almost powerless to suppress the Flame Ox. Principal Wang gasped slightly, his voice trembled slightly, and he said word by word.

"It's just that according to the family's estimates, you can support it for at least 2 months, instead of more than a month now. The family is not prepared for this, and the mobilization of the family's sages also requires the cooperation and coordination of all parties, so I beg you to support it for a while!" The fat man clenched his fist on his forehead, and used his bladder and forehead to observe Principal Wang's reaction.

Principal Wang's body trembled slightly when he heard this, but he seemed to be unable to attack because of exhaustion, and after a few seconds of silence, he said in a hoarse voice: "You have also seen that the recovery speed of the Ember Ox is far faster than we imagined, and its resistance today is almost 3 points stronger than a week ago. It took a lot of effort for the old man to suppress it again, and even the suppression of the volcano had to be slowed down. The old man hopes that the family can act as soon as possible, after all, the academy is not the old man's alone!"

Mo Anxi lowered his head and was silent for a while, completely unable to see the expression on his fat face. Then he bent his waist even lower and said respectfully: "This fact is not up to my humble generation, but the humble position will definitely tell the truth to all families." ”

Principal Wang snorted lightly, seemingly dissatisfied, but in the end, he waved his hand helplessly, signaling the fat Confucian to leave.

When the door to the ashram closed, calm returned to the room. After Principal Wang closed the door, there was a slight light in his eyes. He pondered for a while, then stood up, paced a few steps and muttered, "Although I originally wanted to bring in the family strength to deal with the Ember Ox together, it was really unexpected that the old man could not support it so quickly. ”

Facing the glimmer of the red jade platform, you can see that Principal Wang's face is actually a little younger. At this time, he is like an old man who has just entered the twilight of his life, although he is about to decay, he still has a small amount of vitality.

Eventually, he lay back on the ruby platform, noticed a little dust on the ground, and snorted, "Clever!" and then moved the dust he had unintentionally stepped on to an area with a wave of his sleeve, which was where Mo Anxi had just stood.

Then Principal Wang took out a pair of headphones from under the red jade stage, which was actually the same "whale roar" machine hanging around Hao Song's neck, and he said softly: "It's time to find someone to help me see the situation on the other side of the volcano, how could the Ember Ox suddenly burst out with such a big energy." Then he put on his headphones and turned on the communication.

"Sweet Honey~"

Suddenly, Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey" came from the headphones, and Principal Wang was stunned. As a mind cultivator's high-speed thinking, the first thought, that is, 0.018 seconds, is "I must have opened it in the wrong way!", the second thought, the 0.036 second thought, "This high-tech product is actually wrong!", and the third thought, 0.054 seconds, is "It's Hao Song! This thing is actually singing!"

Then I heard the fucking song and continued to sing: "You laugh and lick Mimi~ Your little chrysanthemum is so familiar~ I want to do Ji for a while~ Hey!Comeon~Everyonetogether!(Let's come together!)......"

“......”

["The most boring time is to spend the night in the wild, and I can't even play flying chess, so let's sing together!"
