Seventy: The world is gradually becoming a ghost (ask for a monthly pass!) )
Night.
The two brothers drove the wagon into a small rock forest on a hillside.
The woods are not allowed to enter, and the forests are not entered.
Da Hong vigorously lifted a boulder weighing several tons, revealing a hollow stone cave. There is also a small mountain spring stream next to it, which is very convenient.
His horse is not a night-scale horse, and he doesn't have that much stamina. After a day of running, it's time to take a break. After loosening the horses, feeding them with water and food, they drove into the cave.
The carriage is parked outside, covered with vines and weeds, and as long as you don't get closer, you won't notice the problem, and you will mistake it for an ordinary small stone bag.
I'm going to share a hole with the horses tonight.
The sky soon became dark, and a cold air that could not be felt near the city quickly swept through the wilderness.
It feels a bit like Kuroshio, but not so exaggerated.
This is the difference between the wilderness and the human city.
Some people have always believed that the wilderness is directly connected to the nine secluds.
Some people also say that the Kuroshio is recovering and the world is not clean.
Da Hong built a bonfire in the cave, and the cold air disappeared slightly.
Li Sui'an had nothing to do, took a bucket of water, and after boiling it, he was ready to soak his feet, and the two of them were stunned.
"Brother Hong, please be considerate, I have some strange problems, and I have to soak my feet at night. Well...... You can see that soaking the feet in this herb is healing. He casually made up a reason, which made the two of them look a little relaxed.
"I see, but the night is not very safe, tonight our brothers will take turns to keep vigil, you have a good rest."
Li Sui'an thanked for his kindness, the long night was long, suitable for drinking, and took out the drunken spring breeze to share with the two.
Wellness is a lifelong thing.
He soaked very carefully, and he also pressed the acupuncture points on the soles of his feet by himself, until the foot soaking experience was received, and it was not over.
If necessary, it's best to bring a bed with you next time you go out.
The empty nest space is big enough, how about bringing a movable cabin?
Inside there is a large bed, so that the rest at night is more comfortable.
Tut~
At this time, the distant sky was full of black endless void, and through the gap in the stone cave, I saw a starry sky and a bright moon hanging high. Under the moonlight, there seemed to be a large area of gray in the sky constantly rolling, and it was impossible to tell whether it was clouds or fog.
"Whew-"
A terrible wolf howl kicked off the wilderness night.
Ghouls crawled out of the ground and wandered aimlessly. Their eyes were hollow, replaced by clusters of flickering soul fire. Wherever they passed, the creatures retreated.
At night, the wilderness seems to have changed into a different world, and even the trees that seem to be alive during the day seem to have lost their vitality. The trunks of the trees swaying in the wind are like the tentacles of demons dancing wildly.
The fog of the forest rose from the damp earth, glowing dead white. The mist gathered and swirled, casting shadowy traces on the vast ground, getting thicker and thicker, gradually turning over the hills, sinking downward, and drifting towards the countless ghouls in the wilderness.
In the confusion, only the scarlet soul fire flickered.
The world is gradually becoming a ghost.
Hong Ducheng took out a stick of incense stick and lit it, and the green smoke lingered in the stone cave, emitting a faint fragrance.
"This is an incense that repels evil spirits and can cover the breath of living beings. Low-level ghouls have a sluggish perception, so as long as they don't encounter the Kuroshio, they don't have to worry. Lighting incense to ward off evil spirits is to guard against evil spirits, and beware of being silently attacked by evil spirits. Hong Ducheng explained.
Li Sui'an took it and looked at it, showing a text bubble.
[Exorcism incense: It is made by mixing soul beads, cinnabar, wild dog blood in mass graves, glutinous rice, and Huaiyin wood powder. It has the effect of covering up vitality and driving away evil spirits. 】
He casually took out an exorcism talisman.
"Wouldn't it be better to have an exorcism charm?"
Hong Ducheng was stunned, "The exchange of exorcism talismans not only requires five taels of silver, but also five points of military merit to exchange for one, which is too extravagant to use." Maybe you can use it in the future, so you might as well keep it for now. ”
"I also redeemed some before I went out. If necessary, the two of them will speak. ”
Li Sui'an is also a red-clothed security guard in Darun, and the internal price of the Lantern Division is at least fifty percent cheaper than that of the External Quartermaster Department, and his cost is not so high.
He had no experience in surviving at night in the wilderness, so he deliberately asked about some precautions for surviving at night, and the two were happy to tell him.
After chatting for a while, they all spontaneously shut up.
Because a group of ghouls passed by, the temperature around them dropped by a few degrees at a rapid rate.
The night in the wilderness was eerily quiet.
Except for the occasional muttering or two of unknown night birds and insects flapping their wings as they fly, all that remained was the howling of ghouls and the rustling footsteps of ghouls.
Ghouls are the weakest, and the only trouble is that they are fast, flexible enough, and numerous enough. But in the face of the quenching martial artist, as long as he is hit, he will either die or be injured.
Ghouls are first-order demons and are frequent visitors to the wilderness, rarely with less than five acting together. Often if you hit one, you will lead to a large group.
A group of corpses playing across the line?
It's disgusting!
I can't sleep yet, there's no need to provoke them.
The group of ghouls was too close, and Hong Ducheng stared at their every move.
With these two people here, Li Sui'an was very relieved, and he still had the leisure to take drugs to continue his cultivation.
The Divine Court Ancestral Trick was opened, as long as it was not a cultivation of the basic sword technique, it would have no effect if he didn't sleep for a few nights.
But he still habitually sleeps, even if it's just lying on the bed and cultivating the spirit turtle to sleep nerves.
If there is a realm of sleep, he is obviously still in the "early bedtime realm".
Ji Ye has already passed the "staying up late realm", is at the level of "all-night realm", and habitually does not sleep for several days, not far from the "soulless realm".
The soul is gone, and the next realm is naturally the "sudden death realm".
"In my life, I don't think I will stay up all night and die suddenly." He thought.
He threw another pill into his mouth, mixed it with a mouthful of spiritual wine, and swallowed it in his stomach. Carrying the thunder sound to wash the marrow meridian, the more and more vigorous qi is mobilized from the body, following a certain frequency rhythm endlessly, and the bones and internal organs of the whole body are in a state of hammer forging.
The quenching progress bar is growing bit by bit, which feels wonderful.
"Rustle~"
A ghoul armed with a bone knife crawls out of the rotting dirt.
As soon as the black mist rolled, the ground soil that broke through the ground was restored to its original state.
The ghoul was covered in bones, and the carrion had fallen off.
It was hungry and thirsty, and the soul fire in its pupils flickered, wandering aimlessly around, desperate to replenish its energy.
There is also a territory among the ghouls, this ghoul has a light body, and the fine ribs have reached 36, which are closely arranged together to form a bone armor, and it is only one step away from being promoted to a second-order demon ghost.
It forgot where the bone knife in its hand came from, and was careful to avoid some places. Instinct tells it that there is a powerful presence there that cannot be passed.
But wandering in such a wild area, there is always a time when the forbidden area is touched.
At this time, it will assess the strength of the soul pressure on the other side, and if it is a ghoul similar to itself, it will use its light body and bone knife to whirl around the opponent and defeat them in a circle. Then devour the ghoul's soul fire and gain the energy that satisfies it.
This time, where it broke through the ground, it still roamed around as usual.
But today, it feels a strange breath.
It was the smell of qi and blood, its most thirsty energy.
Its scarlet eyes fluttered, following the most primitive senses, and it had crossed the territory.
A group of ghouls blocked its path and roared at it.
The bone ghoul only paused for a few breaths, and the soul fire suddenly flourished, and he blatantly crossed over.
It's hungry!
No one can stop it from eating.
Fighting a team of ghouls alone requires courage and even more strength. It's obviously the tallest of the shorter ones, and it just has that strength. This battle is really dangerous. If it hadn't relied on its agility to go in circles with the ghouls, grinding each other to death with one knife at a time, it would not have been able to win so smoothly. Rao was so, and it also paid the price of breaking five ribs to defeat all the ghouls. When the last ghoul fell, it struggled to win the final victory.
It was so hungry that it pounced on it brutally, opened its mouth and sucked it, devouring the soul fire on the corpse, "Hey, why is it less than usual?" "It's like a tenth of it was stolen by a thief, unknowingly.
With its brain, it obviously can't figure it out.
As it devoured one after another, the soul fire in his eyes became even more vigorous.
Pick one of the strongest ghouls and remove its bones with carrion.
Removed his broken rib and gestured at the fracture. After a black mist, the ribs were repaired.
After mending all the broken bones, it felt the soul fire explode in its skull, and a large black mist surged from the void.
It couldn't suppress this fluctuation, and instinctively panicked, and the soul fire jumped wildly.
When the whole body is enveloped in a black mist, it becomes a strange black egg.
I don't know how long it took, but an even more powerful energy surged, and it roared, breaking through the black mist eggshell.
A brand new body rushed out, taller, with a three-meter body, thick thigh bones, bone spurs growing on the joints, and a layer of bone armor covering the body, wrapping the chest cavity and head, and the bone spurs on the spine behind were hideous, and the bone knife had also evolved into a three-finger blade.
It succeeded, evolving into a second-order ripper.
It roared in the sky, and all the ghouls wandering around it seemed to be called to rush in its direction.
It became the leader of the region, with the ability to command hundreds of ghouls.
Its perception is more keen, it is the breath of human warriors, and there is a nasty feeling.
It flicked its claws, pointing at the place.
Rustling~
All the ghouls turned around in unison and walked in the direction of the stone forest.
Li Sui'an, who was in the middle of the meditation, opened his eyes suddenly, and a large green light woke him up, "Wake up, we are in trouble." ”
It's already the second half of the night, Hong Ducheng is resting, and Hong Dubao is on guard. He quickly scanned the four directions, but he didn't find the source of danger. Even the group of ghouls who had just wandered around the neighborhood were nowhere to be found, where the danger came from.
Li Sui'an ignored his puzzled eyes, unsheathed his long knife, and took the initiative to walk out of the stone cave.
Although the two were puzzled, they would not be blindly confident, and walked out, and also picked up a big stone to seal the entrance of the cave.
Soon, they found out about the trouble.
Under the silvery moonlight, the earth evaporated with a white mist, and a rustling sound came from the misty mist, as if countless insects were crawling. But the experienced ones knew that it was a group of corpses approaching.
The first ghoul appeared in the field of vision, two orange soul fires, which stood out in the dark night.
As he got closer, Li Sui'an could already see the ghoul's carrion and yellowed teeth, as well as the saliva that was glued to it and reflected the moonlight.
Ghouls are not to be feared.
It's not that I haven't killed.
But before, they were all in the siege of demons and ghosts, or they hid behind Mu Zhou and attacked.
Now I'm afraid that there are no such conditions.
Taking a deep breath, Li Sui'an smelled the smell of corruption, but felt excited.
[Ghoul: First-Order Demon Ghost.]
Between life and death, the body is rotting and the soul is muddy. Osteoporosis, slowness, and stiffness of the limbs. Afraid of the sun, good human blood, dark and damp. Every moonlit night, they run wildly and cannibalize people. 】
When the mind is focused, it falls on the ghoul.
A bubble of words appeared on its head.
After cultivating for more than half a year and taking so many medicines, if you can't deal with a group of ghouls, you really won't have the face to see people.
In the blink of an eye, the ghoul ran to the bottom of the stone forest. When they run, their upper limbs twist and swing in a strange position, just like the running posture in a zombie movie.
"Huh~"
A waterdrop-like bolt of light struck head-on, heading the ghoul to the head.
"Whew~"
A roar was heard from behind, and the ghouls sped up sharply.
You call it slowness.
Trouble!
Does Usain Bolt have it to run fast?
But it is still much worse than being in the black tide when the demons besieged the city.
Turn on the burst mode, and the droplet-like light bullets keep shooting out, and the Hong brothers have been posing for a long time, but none of the ghouls can get close.
The new Ripper, still retaining the vigilance and sinister habits of a weak child, only hid in the rear and kept letting out a roar of orders, allowing the corpses to charge, but not showing his face.
The surrounding ghouls also gathered more and more, and even a howler in the distant dense forest was alarmed by its roar.
The most distinctive feature of the howler is that a mouth grows on the chest, and the head is only the pupil of soul fire, and the mouth is completely sealed with white bone. It opened its bloody jaws on its chest and let out a silent roar. A unique soul fire fluctuated, spreading out in all directions.
The demons and ghosts in a circle of more than ten miles below have heard it.
The Howler was not responding to the Ripper's roar, but rather sensing the provocation.
"You've crossed the line, brother, summoning the little brother is my skill. The Rippers, the bones and sticks, should be working with their lives. ”
The language system of demons and ghosts is much more complex, and when translated into Chinese, the meaning is probably just that.
It doesn't matter what the reason is.
In short, more and more ghouls are gathering in the direction of the Stone Forest.
"Damn, what kind of good place did you choose, why are there so many ghouls?"
In Li Sui'an's spiritual perception, there were sources of danger everywhere, and he couldn't help but complain.
Hong Ducheng also said blankly: "No, there is not a single snake in this stone forest, and our brothers have not rested here once or twice." Brother, if you don't let some in, we'll resist. ”
Li Sui'an also doubted whether he had forgotten to look at the yellow calendar again.
But he is killing the rise of the rise, and there is no time for anything else.
Since his strength has increased greatly, he has never fought so heartily as today, and the more he kills, the more he kills, he feels the huge green souls surging towards the soul tower.
The ghouls killed by themselves plundered the green souls that were more than ten times larger than the green mangs.
It just so happens that the black lotus is waiting to be released, and maybe this group of ghouls is lacking to help the fun.
"No, you guys guard the front row, and the back row output will be handed over to me. Also, keep an eye on the rear so that the ghouls don't steal the house from behind. ”
Hong Ducheng immediately decided, "Second brother, you are in charge of the back." ”
