Sitting in the room, Lin Yetian looked at the surrounding scene curiously. Similarly, Xue Muyan and Charlotte looked at the wooden house that suddenly appeared with some distraction.

The campfire, which crackles from time to time, radiates a warm heat. The pot on top of the campfire is bubbling and bubbling with a richly scented broth boiling inside.

Outside the window, it was as dark as the sky, and the occasional flash of thunder revealed the distorted shadows of the trees in the distance, and then it was dark again, leaving only the rain marks on the windows and the rustling of raindrops.

The cold and warmth are blocked by a wooden wall, and the hut seems to be able to let go of the guard in the heart and the tiredness in the body.

"Welcome, and may the gods be with you. ”

The middle-aged man sitting across the campfire smiled warmly and friendly, and his wife and son sat beside him, looking at him with a mixture of curiosity and friendliness.

This man's appearance is very normal, his plump body and face are shining, and he looks almost the same as before the end of the world.

His son and wife also seemed very friendly, and under the campfire, the warm atmosphere of the family was somewhat transmitted.

Standing deep in the bog of Doom, this lonely cabin doesn't seem as eerie as it seems.

Of course, just seemingly.

Just when Lin Yetian wanted to shout loudly to thank him for his hospitality, he suddenly noticed that Xue Muyan on the side looked calm, silently watching the family of three, and the big light bulb was also placed within reach of him, and decided to reserve his attitude.

Charlotte also stared coldly at the family of three in front of her, and her years of experience in life and death outside told her that it was definitely not so simple here.

And I don't know if it's subconscious, Charlotte always feels that there is something wrong with them. It's not a look, it's not a breath, but it's just weirdness that can't be described......

If it weren't for Lin Yetian here, I'm afraid she would have quit this wooden house as soon as possible.

"It's been a long time since we've seen anyone outside. The smile on the middle-aged man's face never disappeared, like an enthusiastic host: "The weather outside is terrible, are you lost and walked here?"

"It's not that I'm lost, it's Xiaoyan who is lost!" Lin Yetian shook himself.

Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and her cold gaze swept over the faces of the family of three.

The expressions of these three people are natural, without a little stiffness, and the words full of life make people look quite comfortable.

He nodded coldly and did not speak.

Xue Muyan's coldness did not make the owner of the hut lose his enthusiasm, and he smiled and said, "I'm so lucky, I'm here in this weather."

It's terrible to get lost inside. ”

"It?" Xue Muyan took off the red veil of the poncho hood, and the obscuration of the edges narrowed the range of her vision.

The glamorous and unparalleled face was unabashedly exposed to the air, and even Charlotte had to admit Xue Muyan's alluring temperament.

But even so, the man's face still did not change, and he continued to smile happily:

"When I say 'it', I mean this swamp, it exists consciously, it has immense power, it's a god, we call it, the Lord of the Swamp. ”

With a murmur, the figures sat around the campfire, and the shadows behind them swayed with the flames.

Lord of the Swamp?

Another god?

Xue Muyan's heart moved slightly, but she didn't show it.

If the man hadn't lied, then the Lord of the Swamp was probably a new god like the Lord of Light.

If this is really a new god, then a lot of things can get more complicated.

For example, why is it that the Lord of Light, who is also a god, can enter the Lord of the Human Fortress and start a church, while the Lord of the Swamp can only stay in his own territory.

For example, since there is a second god, will there be other gods that have not yet been encountered, or is there such a race?

Of course.

It may also be a coincidence of names, but the two are not related.

"Can you tell me about the Lord of the Swamp?"

Xue Muyan's flat tone slowly opened her mouth to ask the male host.

"A group of pseudo-gods who are crowned by monkeys. Without waiting for an answer, Lin Yetian on the side smiled strangely.

Rainwater collects under the poncho and seeps into the floor beneath you. It was gradually dried by a bonfire.

"Absolutely, we are honored to spread the legend of the Lord of the Swamp to outsiders, the gods are great and selfless. The hostess, who had not spoken, suddenly smiled as warmly as her husband.

Looking at this scene in a daze, a flash of inspiration flashed through Charlotte's mind.

She knew where the weirdness that had been permeating her heart came from!

It's the speed at which they speak!

For some reason, the middle-aged man and his wife spoke slowly like an old woman, and the slow speed of speech was as if each word and word were not related to the previous word, but were spoken in an eternal and unchanging rhythm.

Charlotte just wanted to speak, but saw Xue Muyan on the side shaking her head, lowered her voice and said softly:

"I know what you're thinking, but that doesn't mean much. It's possible that they're just slow talking, or maybe it's their habit here. ”

"Or can you conclude that there's something wrong with them based on that alone?"

"Sister Xue's analysis is really reasonable, so why did these people suddenly appear in the swamp?" Charlotte replied with an unhappy face.

"It's not clear yet. ”

"Then it's time to kill them now!"

"If I were the only one here, maybe there was a slight possibility of doing so. Xue Muyan responded calmly. "But the night is here. ”

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

With Lin Yetian's character, the young man in front of him would not make a move before they exposed their obvious flaws, after all, before that, they could all be regarded as human beings.

Charlotte sighed softly and silently withdrew the pistol that had reached her pocket.

"The Lord of the Swamp is the consciousness of this swamp, and it is a great god who can protect those who believe in it from being harmed. Every intelligent creature that lives in the swamp has the ubiquitous lord of the swamp......"

The slow pace of her speech made her speak like that of a religious person at Mass.

"How could that sound so similar to that of the Lord of Light. Lin Yetian scratched his head.

It was no wonder that he wondered that it was the same thing that he was sheltered after worship, and it was the same great power of the gods, and it was hard to say that there was no relationship between the two.

"So you also have something like a swamp church?" Lin Yetian wondered.

"We don't have a church. But every creature that worships the Lord of the Swamp can become its followers. The hostess said reverently. "Just be religious. ”

"What if it's not a creature. Lin Yetian suddenly smiled.

As soon as the words came out, the male and female hosts in the room instantly fell into a deathly silence, and their empty and godless eyes were densely covered with bloodshot staring at the young man in front of them.

"By the way, how to get the protection of the Lord of the Swamp. Xue Muyan's words woke up this strange family of three.

If she could, she would like to know more about these so-called 'gods'.

The man and his wife who reacted turned their heads to look at each other, and the empty eyes just now gradually became bright, and they were replaced by a strange smile that did not smile:

"There are some rituals to be performed...... I'm sure you'll all be satisfied......"

Just as Xue Muyan wanted to continue talking, a strange beast-like roar came from the side:

"Dad! I'm hungry!"

The dullness in the cabin finally became a little lighter, like a coolness pouring into the sultry air.

Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes slightly, quietly waiting for the reaction of the male and female hosts. Charlotte, on the side, had already touched the weapon on her waist.

"Kid, now is not the time to eat. ”

"But I want to eat big meat!" the little boy pursed his mouth, and the beastly voice was fleeting in a matter of moments.

"Okay...... Husband, go get some wood, it may not be enough for us to burn. The woman could not help the child, and said slowly. complained again: "It's all because you always bring back big meat, and now my son has become so greedy." ”

"By the way...... Please treat these guests from afar......"

The man didn't say anything. With an eerie smile of enthusiasm, he stood up from the warm floor and walked to the door, took off the poncho hanging behind the door, put it on, and opened the wooden door.

Whew-

The cold wind carried the rain, and suddenly it became clear and broke into the wooden house. The bonfire instantly dimmed, and the flames that blew off licked the edges of the bonfire.

The man slammed the wooden door shut, and the light and darkness of the wooden house became bright again as the bonfire stabilized.

In the house, only Lin Yetian and the hostess with children were left.

Charlotte's demeanor was calm, but all the nerves under this calm exterior had been tensed to the fullest, and only one unexpected event was needed to burst into the most intense flames.

Xue Muyan looked at the figure beside the bonfire and said lightly: "I'm sorry, we don't plan to eat here, thank you for your hospitality." ”

The hostess in front of the bonfire rolled her eyes, her black and white eyes were distinct, and she looked at Xue Muyan and said slowly:

"I'm afraid that's not good...... It would be a mistake on our part to let the guests go home empty-handed......"

Xue Muyan shook her head, her expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "I'm sorry, we still have a dinner party to go, and if we continue to stay here, I'm afraid we will miss the dinner party." ”

Obviously, the dinner party was nothing more than an excuse.

The hostess's eyes were still rolling, and a strange smile appeared on her stiff face: "Okay, then don't stop the guests too much." ”

"Just wait a little longer, and he'll soon be back with firewood and warm clothes to keep the guests warm. ”

Xue Muyan was about to speak, but saw the hostess stand up in a strange posture, maintained that stiff smile, silently walked to the wooden door, and sat down with a smile.

The exit door was blocked.

Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Charlotte wanted to speak and stopped, but when she saw Lin Yetian on the side looking like an old god was there, she gradually relaxed her heart.

If anyone can completely reassure her at the moment, it is only the man in front of her.

"I'm sorry for you. The hostess smiled strangely.

In the quiet waiting, it seems that only the dancing flames of the campfire can still seem to be full of life.

The stagnant water in some of the folds trickled low, wetting the wooden planks that Lin Yetian had written and scratched, and hiding the traces.

Rata Rata –

In the quiet cabin, there were suddenly strange noises in the wind whistling from the outside world.

Xue Muyan waited quietly, and the bonfires around her became more and more weird.

Outside the door, the strange sound gradually reached everyone's ears through the crack in the door, and it sounded like a strange howl.

It was a human scream.

Several people waited silently, and suddenly, the door was slammed open by a huge force, and it was not only the wind and rain that poured in, but also the tangled middle-aged man and a figure who kept wailing.

The sound of grinding teeth, screams, rain, thunder, in the dim and chaotic wooden house, the rich smell of blood spread, and gradually amplified in the minds of several people.

It was the figure of a Doomsday Warrior.

"Need help?" Xue Muyan slowly got up, stood up and asked the woman.

"Then please. The woman quickly stood up and said.

"You're welcome. ”

Xue Muyan raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.

A silvery bullet exploded muffled across the woman's skull, red blood splattering to the ground.

The campfire was suppressed to the point of darkness, and the cold wind poured into the wooden house unscrupulously.

Charlotte stood up, the gun in her hand was already aimed at the man outside the door, while Lin Yetian next to her was still sitting still.

Under the flying flesh and blood, the woman's headless body shook a few times, turned around slowly, raised her hands, and shook close to Lin Yetian.

The top of her lips disappeared completely, revealing a granular, fractured cavity with a quivering tongue that looked disgusting.

A muffled voice mixed with air currents came from the base of the only remaining tongue: "You...... No...... Guests..."

"Unfortunately, I was never a guest. Lin Yetian raised the corners of his mouth lightly: "I am the master between heaven and earth and the universe."

The hostess her, or rather, took a few steps forward and kicked the stones on the edge of the fire. The woman, who had lost most of her brain and sight, did not react, knocking over the boiling broth on the campfire and pouring it into the campfire, splashing a large cloud of flying sparks.

The woman's garments burned first, then her body, and a red flame appeared from under her skin, and its torso was like red-hot charcoal, shining red, and with a loud bang, a dark red flame erupted from its body.

Normal humans would never be like it, or normal humans would be dead the moment their heads exploded.

Lin Yetian calmly sat cross-legged in place, watching the woman who could still move get up from the fire.

The cracks in its body erupted with dark red flames, and it left the fire that was crushed to the point of falling apart, without wailing or pain, only Mu Ran's moving and twisted body, and running towards Lin Yetian's direction with a long tongue.

Under the fangs, the woman, who did not have a trace of flesh and blood, almost pounced on the young man in front of her, but she could not move a single step.

Zheng Zheng looked up, but saw that the young man in front of him raised a finger and put it on his 'head', and smiled slightly:

"This kind of puppet doll, don't take it out and be embarrassed. ”

Lin Yetian casually picked up a torch that burned in front of the bonfire, and when the torch was waved, the woman's body instantly burned.

"Gan...... The woman who was burning ...... flames made strange syllables meaninglessly, and in the next second, under the engulfment of the raging fire, the woman's body was instantly burned to charcoal.

Unlike coke, its body was burned to an almost dark red sheen, snorting and steam that blackened and cooled at a rate visible to the naked eye, turning it into an obsidian black.

Immediately afterward, the body was rapidly cooled, and the headless body gradually became still.

The last wisps of green smoke drifted out of the sky above Lin Yetian from the door of the wooden house to the outside of the house, and finally was smashed by the rain and dissipated in the rainy night.

Lin Yetian stared at all this coldly, without saying a word.

Immediately after, the roar of a beast pierced the gray night sky, and the little boy in front of him rioted from his side, and the head instantly turned into a heavy iron net, rushing towards Lin Yetian.

"It's so annoying, I've hit the big and small, isn't it going to hit the small and the old one......"

Lin Yetian moved slightly, easily dodging this beast-like attack.

The little boy roared unwillingly, and pounced towards Lin Yetian again.

Lin Yetian narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and dodged its path neatly, then pulled out a still burning wooden stick from the bonfire, stabbed it into the little boy's mouth, and the soles of his feet rushed out suddenly, pushing the little boy backwards with the strong wind.

Boom!!

The little boy slammed his back against the wooden wall, and the burning red wooden stick in his mouth penetrated his body, stabbed out of the back of his head, and pierced into the gap in the wooden wall.

Immediately after, Lin Yetian quickly retreated, dodging the little boy's frantic and powerless kick and grab.

"How many puppets dare to do it in front of me?" Lin Yetian said lightly:

"As for playing puppets, your ancestors and I are your ancestors. ”

Ignoring Lin Yetian's sick attack, the little boy was like his "mother", easy to burn, and the head was like a steamer in just a few seconds, emitting heat and smoke, and the fire lit up from the mouth and eye sockets of the grown.

Charlotte turned her head slightly to look at Lin Yetian in some disbelief, it was the first time she had seen him look so serious.

"Why are you stunned, go and save that doomsday warrior. Lin Yetian urged.

Charlotte had just woken up from a dream, turned her head hurriedly, and went out to kill the man outside the house.

Xue Muyan glanced at Lin Yetian worriedly, and saw that the latter had indeed not received any harm, so she walked towards the male owner with a cold expression.

At the same time, the little boy who was pinned to the wall struggled violently, but the flames in his body quickly spread throughout his body, and the burned chapped skin cracked open, spewing out wisps of flames. Its struggles grew faint until its hands hung down, remaining motionless in a position pinned to the wall.

The flames on the surface of the body gradually extinguished, leaving only the occasional dark red surging in the body. It looks like it's dead.

Outside the house, only a moment later, under the double blow of Xue Muyan and Charlotte, the battlefield was quickly divided.

The man's arm was cut off by the blue long sword in Xue Muyan's hand, and there was no blood in the broken room, but a strange mixture like sawdust. Then Charlotte's longsword slashed at him as well, and the sharp sword first made a hole in the other arm, then the legs, and finally the body.

If Xue Muyan's shot is like a slash, then Charlotte's shot is more like torture.

During this process, the male owner did not wail and scream, nor did he splatter blood, which made Xue Muyan have no idea of stopping.
