There was a white noise of nothingness in my ears, and after a brief pause, a sudden violent impact struck, and the dazzling firelight exploded in the distance, like a blooming firework, lighting up the entire area.

It was a scene of "destruction", and the early winter turned back in shock, like a sculpture, and the light that burst out in an instant made all the darkness disappear, and the black mist wriggled and made a sizzling sound like a scorch.

There are hideous screams in a trance, and there are roars that don't belong to humans, and I don't know if it's those insects or mutated monsters, making senseless resistance.

"This Ethan ......"

Jiang Chenchuan roared angrily, he rushed out of the house, and was stopped by the early winter, his vision was full of chaotic pictures, the explosion gradually calmed down, and a large area of blood mist spread in the forest.

The flames burned and boiled, like a sharp sword piercing through the blood-red waves, like waves crashing against the sand, and the strange insects in their reach were burned to the ground, and the ashes of the burning slowly fell.

"What about others?"

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and asked as he looked at the heavy face of Chu Dong.

He said...... Will follow me, but ......"

In the next words, I didn't say anything more in the early winter, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to survive such a violent and large-scale explosion of the magic circle.

"Let's go, find someone!"

"Wait, isn't this dangerous? Mr. Ewell. ”

Yulia leaned against the door with a worried expression, but Berlito had already rushed forward excitedly, looking at Jiang Chenchuan with expectant eyes, and the black cat jumped on the windowsill,

It is estimated that it was the effect of the magic circle just now, the sky was no longer gloomy, even the rain disappeared, and the calm breeze blew away the dark clouds, and you could see a clear and clean blue sky when you looked up.

Before the danger was completely over, Jiang Chenchuan arranged for Yulia and Chu Dong to stay in the house, and he and Berlito went to the sick village to see Ethan's situation.

The muddy land that had just rained, the surface was sprinkled with a faint gray, and there was still some turbid water, and he remembered that there was a mutated monster, which made him feel uncomfortable staying with the two women.

When Jiang Chenchuan set off, he also called the monster by the way, although he looked reluctant, but in order to be able to lift the curse, he also had to go to see Ethan.

According to Jiang Chenchuan's flickering, Ethan is now his only hope.

Stepping into the forest again, I was greeted by a strong smell of burning, more like the smell of some kind of burning corpse than some kind of burning trees.

Clouds of blood mist attached to the trunks of the trees and scattered on the ground, like blooming blood flowers.

"What's that?"

Berrito made a surprised voice as he pointed to something strange in the distance, beyond the overlapping trees, and the sight seemed unimaginably strange.

A few hazy figures shuttled between the trees, but they didn't look like human beings, they looked like mutated sea creatures, but they had human life and behavior habits, Jiang Chenchuan squinted his eyes and watched from afar.

They just walked slowly, not walking, their feet did not touch the ground, but they were still moving, as if they were floating, and they were still looming in the blood-colored mist, and they couldn't see the specific appearance.

"Yes...... Monsters? ”

His appearance has changed, but he said that others were monsters, and there was irrepressible panic in his tone.

It's like a mirage, just walking slowly like this, and finally disappearing into the road

……

The sky was getting more and more gloomy, a heavy black enveloped the entire village, the temperature in the air gradually decreased, the biting low temperature almost froze the internal organs, and the terrible wind surrounded the wooden house.

From various crevices poured into the house, the faint flames swayed in the wind, as if there was a risk of being blown out at any time, and even the wooden house shivered in such a wind.

There was a corpse sitting directly opposite, still maintaining the posture before his death, Ethan was not afraid, so he sat down at the table, took out Jiang Chenchuan's pocket watch, glanced at the time, and looked at the weather outside the window.

This time he went out a little recklessly, and he didn't see anyone along the way, but he wasn't an idiot either, and it's hard to say what exactly is hidden in the forest.

Inexplicably there is a feeling of being followed, Ethan tried to look for it several times, but he didn't find any clues about the other party, but this kind of darkness that can't be surrounded makes people a little irritated.

Ethan knew that there could be no normal people in this kind of dilapidated place, and he knew from the faint thunder outside the house that it should be a rapid rainstorm, and he didn't know if these small dilapidated wooden houses could withstand the storm.

Speaking of storms, Ethan thought that the rumored owner of Xinlanhai was the god of storms, and he had heard that there was only one god who could control thunderstorms.

But no one could prove the truth of the legend, Ethan leaned on the window and looked, the raindrops outside the house had fallen, and he couldn't walk for the time being, so he could only stay with the skeleton for a while.

There wasn't much time for patience, Ethan thought about it, picked up a wooden stick casually, scorched one end with fire, drew a black circle on the ground, and dripped his own blood in the center of the formation.

Then he packed up his belongings, he didn't intend to sit still, not to mention, as the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of the rain slowly became clear, he could feel that something terrible had escaped from the forest.

Picking up the source of the fire, he walked to the depths of the wooden house, and to his surprise, there was a hidden door behind him, and it was pitch black everywhere he could see.

Even when it comes to the source of fire, those black shadows

^0^ It would shrink back slightly, and the darkness outside the room seemed to swallow up the light source, but he didn't dare to approach the light.

When he turned his head back, it was already pitch black outside the window, and he couldn't see his fingers, and the darkness felt the presence of Ethan, a living thing, covering the entire wooden house, enveloping him little by little.

Danger approached, and it seemed that one step further would step into the darkness, perceiving what the darkness was fearing, and a whole new idea formed in Ethan's mind.

No one can ever guess what Ethan's little head contains, this is also where Jiang Chenchuan admires him, and someone has to come out to break the convention.

As long as he stays by the side of fire or light, the darkness does not come close, and since this is the case, he creates light, and this is where alchemists are able to work miracles.

Use a makeshift simple paintbrush to sketch the pattern of alchemy in the room, and collect alchemy items that you can use while ensuring your own absolute safety.

The darkness roamed around the hut, as if sensing Ethan's threat to them, but he stood in the light, leaving it unforgiving.

Pushing open another room with a source of fire, the unlocked door creaked open, and the darkness was like a fleeing rat, instantly driven around by the sudden light.

The smell of death oozed from the house, and it was only then that Ethan noticed that there was a corpse in the bedroom that had mutated into a monster due to the curse.

However, the state of the corpse looked strange, only half of it was close to ossification, and the other half was still the same as it was before death.

If I had to describe it, it was like the feeling of being disturbed in the middle of eating......

Raising the source of fire high, he just took a step forward, and there was a crisp sound, and his feet seemed to be stepping on something.

When he looked up, it was like a cloud of mist dispersing, revealing a strange insect he had never seen before, with an extremely strange appearance, and the pattern on its back resembled a roaring human face.

A bold idea came to my mind, that fog-like darkness was actually made of this bug.

Afraid of light, heat, and fire, it only lives in dark and damp places, and only hides in the forest during clear days.

All the conditions are in line with the habits of ordinary insects, Ethan has about the number in his mind, he holds the light source to take the alchemy materials he wants, and looks at the corpse in pain, you can imagine how much suffering he has suffered in his life.

Click-

There was a slight sound, like the footsteps of some creature, but the other party specially lowered the sound, if it wasn't for stepping on something, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Ethan to find out.

And monsters alive?

Ethan immediately became alert, he did not hesitate to pull out his pistol, but it was not loaded, he stopped in place and did not move, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed.

In addition to the rustling of rain, there is also a slow moving pace, and if you can tell the location based on the sound, the other party should be hovering outside the house, as if thinking about how to enter the house.

Ethan turned his head to look at the window, which was completely covered in fog-like darkness, and there was no sight outside.

It doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost.

He had already quickened his actions, and when he thought of this, he didn't delay any longer, put away the pistol, took the materials, and returned to his magic circle.

I saw a black human figure faintly appear in the original drawing circle, with almost all the features, but it couldn't speak or move.

Staying in place like a shadow puppet, the darkness surrounding the puppet quickly dissipated as soon as the main body approached with the source of fire.

Sure enough, as long as they exude the breath of a living creature, whether it is a real life or not, they will attack.

Figuring out their habits and methods, Ethan also had a vague idea in his heart, and threw everything in the house, including the corpse, into the bedroom.

It took Ethan a lot of effort to put the bones down, when he heard an unusual noise outside the window, and the oppressive darkness around him began to stir, and he didn't know if there was new prey or an enemy.

Click-

It's still the same noise.

With an icy aura, Ethan placed the fire on the table beside him, raised his gun in both hands, and aimed his swarthy wound at the window where the sound came from.

Click-

No matter what happens in the next second, Ethan is guaranteed to kill the opponent.

Whoop -

The nerves tensed instantly, Ethan released the safety of the firearm, and at this moment, the darkness gathered in the window seemed to be driven away in some way, and they scattered to the side, and an invisible sense of oppression came to the face.

Ethan's finger was on the trigger, motionless, waiting quietly.

"Huh? Is there a person? ”

A familiar voice sounded, and a head popped out of the window.

"Miss Early Winter?"

Pressing down the muzzle of the gun, all the hostility was retracted, and the early winter also saw Ethan in the light, showing a look of surprise.

"How did you get in...... Did you see Ewell? ”

Early Winter looked inside the house, but didn't see a second figure.

"I thought I would come in to look for him, but I should have missed it, I didn't see him when I walked around the village...... No, shouldn't you be together? ”

Ethan was a little strange.

He helped Hatsu roll in through the window, and waited for her to land steadily before asking.

"No, he left early in the morning with the cursed, and I managed to get rid of the two men, but it rained, but fortunately, with a kerosene lamp, the black one

^0^ The fog won't come to attack me. ”

"And two more survivors?"

Ethan captured the information in the early winter words, but he didn't expect that there could be so-called normal people in a place like the sick village.

"No, I stayed with them last night and realized something was wrong."

"You didn't come back all night, and I thought something had happened to you, so I thought I'd come to see how you were doing, so to speak...... Let's hear what happened last night. ”

The kerosene lamp in early winter is easy to use, so you don't have to be careful to protect it, worrying that the fire will go out, but this consumption is too great, and I don't know if it can last to Ronalque City.

"After a night, we got some information that every cursed person, slowly, will become a monster like this, and the curse is transmitted through the wound, as long as the cursed person is injured, even the smallest wound will be infected with the curse."

"And the cursed will be very aggressive for a certain period of time, so as long as we don't get hurt, we won't get cursed."

"But the key thing is that after contact, I found out that those two people were a little abnormal, I don't know if it was because I hadn't been in contact with anyone for a long time, or because they were affected by a curse, they wanted to kill me."

"That's why I escaped while they weren't paying attention, I wanted to save them, but now it seems that there are no normal people here."

Early Winter seemed to be a little frightened, and it was rare to say so many things, she explained everything to Ethan so that Ethan, the only one who had studied alchemy, could come up with a solution.

"I know, but let's put those two people first, by the way, you just came in from outside, you're wet, don't step on it."

Ethan said as he set up the circle under his feet.

"It's ......"

Seeing the intricate lines under your feet is not a random graffiti, but a kind of large magic circle, because you know some spells, so you also have a superficial understanding of alchemy.

I know that the greater the effect, the more complex and delicate it is.

"It's like a fire element...... Wait, you're not going to want ......?"

Hatsu raised his head in surprise and looked at Ethan's every move, revealing an incredulous expression.

"That's right, that's what you think."

Ethan replied lightly.

"Maniac."

It's not just early winter who has commented that Ethan is a madman, he has done a lot of crazy things, maybe he is amazed by his brilliant idea, Ethan can still hum a few words.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
