[923] Old friend
Heavenly Blood Realm.
The edge of the abyss of death.
Inside a small village.
The so-called "Death Abyss" is exactly what the vampires call the super crater left behind by the Twelfth Calamity.
Just over a day ago.
The super divine war in which the Supreme Gods surrounded and suppressed the Twelfth Tribulation almost brought a catastrophe to this small world.
The area where the Abyss of Death was originally located was the most prosperous area in the Heavenly Blood Realm.
Seven of the top 10 major cities in this sector are located in this area.
The appearance of the abyss of death directly caused this prosperous area to disappear completely, and the number of people who were swallowed up was measured in "tens of billions".
And the countless cracks that appeared along with the abyss of death caused a great earthquake that affected this realm, and I don't know how many buildings collapsed.
No Gathering Place was left unscathed, and the closer it was to the Abyss of Death and the Rift, the greater the losses.
The distance from this village called "Lin Chuan" to the abyss is only more than 200 kilometers, and the losses are naturally quite heavy.
More than a third of the houses collapsed in the earthquake, and the rest were damaged to some extent.
In a word.
There is simply not a single house that is completely intact here.
Fortunately, Linchuan is only a small village, with a total population of just over 1,000, a relatively low residential density, and no high-rise buildings.
Therefore, compared with the city, there are not many deaths here, only nearly 200 people died, which is less than 20%.
But.
For the villagers, the super earthquake caused by the appearance of the abyss was not the only disaster, or even the biggest disaster.
At this moment.
A prime-aged vampire named "Konda" is cleaning up the ruins of his house with a tired face.
"Hum~"
The ground suddenly trembled slightly.
The ruins were affected by the tremors, and there were a few muffled "bang" sounds underneath, and some parts of the site collapsed downward.
Kunda was immediately startled and cursed, "Damn, here it is again!" ”
It quickly emerged from the ruins, a little farther away.
Kunda suddenly remembered one thing, and his face changed: "Those damn things, shouldn't they crawl out of the cracks again?" ”
The "crack" mentioned in this sentence is a small crack that appeared five kilometers away from the village after the super earthquake.
The crack did not originate from the abyss, but a small fork from a large crack, and the strong man went over to take a look at it yesterday.
Although it is not known how long the fork is, it is less than ten meters wide and only more than four meters deep, so it is not much of a threat to the village.
However.
This morning.
Conda and some of the villagers went there to check on the situation and found that the crack had changed.
At some point, a faint black mist appeared at the bottom of the crack, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
Just three hours ago.
There was a small jolt in the ground.
One of the villagers happened to be nearby at the time and saw several monsters emerging from the cracks, and the guy was so frightened that he fled back to the village.
Subsequently.
The whole village was alarmed.
The elder gathered a group of villagers and rushed over.
The monster also seemed frightened, and burrowed back into the crack and disappeared.
Then.
For some reason, there was a faint uneasiness in Kunda's heart.
It thought for a moment and gave up on cleaning up the rubble: "No, I need to take a look over there." ”
The guy looked left and right for a while, and his eyes locked on a large tree more than two hundred meters away.
The tree is more than 30 meters tall, and due to the impact of the super earthquake, the trunk is slightly tilted at an angle, but it does not fall.
Kunda trotted all the way to the bottom of the tree, shook his hands, his fingertips grew sharp claws, and grabbed the bark and quickly climbed to the top of the tree.
This is the typical racial ability of the Red Eyed Clan.
When most vampires reach adulthood, they will master this ability of "fingertip claws", the difference is that the claws are not the same.
Conda stood at the top of the tree, tiptoeing in the direction of the crack.
From this vantage point, a small crack can be seen.
Kong Da only glanced at it, his face sank suddenly, and he couldn't help but curse in his mouth: "Damn! ”
It could clearly see a small black mist escaping from the cracks, rising like light smoke and quickly dissipating.
This is something that was not done in the morning.
At that time, although there was black fog in the crack, the black fog only sank to the bottom and did not come out like now.
Kong Da sighed, and he had a bad premonition more and more: "I'm afraid the monster is really coming out." ”
There had been a slight tremor in the ground, and the monster had emerged from the crack, not thinking it was just a coincidence.
After a while.
Kunda's blood-colored pupils shrank suddenly.
Because a group of small black dots broke into its eyes.
Monster!
Sure enough, those monsters have reappeared!
Konda looked at it for a while, and his heart sank deeply.
This is not only because the number of monsters is ten times more than in the morning, but also because these monsters are actually coming in the direction of the village.
The monsters are not slow to crawl, and it is estimated that in five minutes, they will crawl to the entrance of the village.
What disturbed it the most was that the monster at the front reached more than four meters in length, and its body was stronger than that of a bull.
It stared at the thing from afar, and there was a vague creepy feeling, as if it had encountered a natural predator.
Kunda couldn't hold back for a moment: "I have to inform the elders quickly!" ”
It quickly climbed down from the tree and ran towards the elder's residence, not forgetting to shout a warning: "The 'evil demon' is coming towards the village, everyone be careful!" ”
The so-called "evil demon" is exactly what the villagers call the monster.
Konda's shouting immediately caused a commotion in the village.
The villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in disbelief.
Half a minute later.
Kunda found the elder and quickly recounted the matter.
It emphasized: "I've seen at least two hundred evil demons emerge from the cracks, and the actual number may be higher." ”
The elder was taken aback: "So many?!" ”
Many of the red-eyed clans had already gathered around, and when everyone heard Kongda's words, their faces were very unsightly.
The elder turned his head to look at the other vampire, and decisively ordered, "Martin, you know how to transform blood, you go over and take a look right away." ”
Martin immediately nodded and said, "Understood!" ”
"Poof!"
The creature's body exploded, turning into a cloud of red blood mist that flew towards the crack like a cloud.
Judging from the extraordinary fluctuations emitted by the blood mist, Martin was already close to the Red Blood Noble, whose strength was equivalent to that of the Xuan Shi of the Wan Hao Clan.
In this small village, Martin is also recognized as the next elder.
Kong Da watched the blood mist go away, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said hesitantly: "Elder, I ......"
Halfway through it, it seemed a little scrupled, and closed its mouth again.
The elder glared at it and burst into a foul mouth: "You have a fart on the horse, don't talk and only say half of it." ”
Kunda gritted his teeth and said, "I just saw an evil demon, stronger than the long-haired cow, and I feel that Martin may not be able to defeat it. ”
A group of vampires was in an uproar.
"Impossible, right?"
"Last year Martin killed a one-horned serpent, which is much bigger than a long-haired cow."
In the face of the villagers' doubts, Kong Da expressed his attitude very simply: "I feel very bad about this group of evil demons, and I advise everyone to leave the village." ”
The elder's brow furrowed tightly, and he did not speak.
Other vampires disagreed.
"Where can we go if we abandon the village?"
"The evil demon also appeared in the morning, and those ghosts fled back to the crack when they saw us, which means that the evil demon is afraid of us."
"That's right! If the demon dares to come, we will beat the demon back. ”
The elder looked around and saw that the morale of the people was good, so he clapped his hand and said, "Let's go and get weapons at once, and gather at the gate of the village." ”
The villagers quickly dispersed.
Kunda stopped talking, but in the end he just swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.
The elder glanced at it and urged, "You should go too." ”
Kunda answered and went honestly.
The Red-Eyed Clan practiced authoritarianism, and anyone in the village had to obey the orders of the elders.
The consequences of disobeying the order are highly likely to result in expulsion.
The villagers are quite efficient, or rather, very enthusiastic about guarding their homes.
In just two minutes, all the adult males were gathered at the entrance of the village.
The elder was dressed in blood-colored armor and stood at the front.
This is the responsibility that elders must fulfill, and it is the source of their authority.
With a short spear in each hand, Konda stood at the back of the crowd.
The other villagers thought that it was refuted by everyone, and they would stand at the back of their faces.
In fact, it has made up its mind, and it is not willing to fight to the death with the evil demon at all, and is ready to slip away when it has the opportunity.
Not much.
A red drift cloud floated over.
Martin is back.
The elder asked in a deep voice, "How's the situation?" ”
Martin condensed into a human form and said quickly, "There are about four hundred evil demons, but their aura is not strong. ”
This number is twice as much as what Conda sees.
The elder nodded, and then ordered, "Fight the monster when it comes!" ”
Many people's eyes drifted to Kong Da in the back, with a hint of ridicule in their eyes.
Kunda lowered her head, and quietly took a step back.
The premonition in its heart was getting worse and worse.
It also became more and more convinced that it was definitely not a wise move to rashly fight monsters before they had figured out the details of the evil demons.
A moment later.
A group of four-legged monsters covered in black broke into the sight of the villagers in groups.
"Whew~"
"Whew~"
They constantly emit strange cries that sound dull and noisy.
Obviously.
This is what the villagers call the "evil demon".
The word "sin" in the name comes from their cry.
These monsters with a sharp horn on their heads are extremely strange.
They appear to have solid bodies, but when viewed closely, they have a strange hazy feeling.
With each step, a black paw print was left on the ground, which looked as if it were painted in ink.
What's even more bizarre is that over time, the paw prints will fade and eventually disappear, leaving only the indentations in the dirt.
It takes about half a minute from the appearance of the black paw prints to the disappearance of the paw prints.
Konda paid keen attention to this small detail and took another step back.
It trusted its own judgment more and more, this group of evil demons was by no means ordinary monsters, and the outcome of this battle was probably very bad.
The elder raised a short spear and shouted, "Fifty steps! ”
The meaning of this sentence is that once the monster is within fifty steps, it will attack the monster.
The vampires raised their short spears and threw them.
Martin turned into a mist of blood without saying a word, slowly fluttering.
Kunda's gaze flickered, and his gaze quietly glanced to the sides, thinking about the route of escape.
Ten seconds later.
The demon enters the attack range.
The largest demon did not stand at the front of the line, but fell behind.
The elder roared and threw his spear first.
"Woo~"
A terrible scream rang out.
The short spear turned into an afterimage, and in an instant, it swept fifty paces, piercing the head of an evil demon with precision.
The demon shuddered and fell to the ground.
This beautiful blow boosted the morale of all the villagers.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
More whistling sounded.
The villagers threw their short spears.
Although the accuracy of the hit was not high, due to the close distance, half of the short spears hit the evil demon.
The skin of the evil demons does not seem to be thick, and their defense is very low, and each short spear that hits easily penetrates their bodies.
In the open space at the entrance of the village, a monster suddenly collapsed.
The villagers burst into loud cheers.
"Whew~"
The demons were still screaming and surging over.
Their cries do not change, and they do not hear any emotion.
That's a little bit wrong.
The sense of crisis in Kunda's mind became stronger than ever, and he gasped, feeling that death was looming over him.
The elder raised his second short spear and shouted, "Keep attacking!" ”
The blood mist that Martin turned into moved, and swept towards the biggest evil demon like a sharp arrow.
It's still in the middle of the air.
The blood mist volley transformed into a blood snake, and the snake's head swelled dozens of times, revealing a huge mouth, viciously biting the Great Evil Demon.
You can see it.
Martin intends to devour the demon in one gulp, and use the Red Eye's natural secret method to use some of its power for her own use.
The next second.
A mutation has occurred.
A black mist emerged from the surface of the Great Evil Demon's body, and then turned into dozens of tentacles.
The tentacles instantly extended ten meters, entangled the blood snake that Martin had turned into like lightning.
"Ah~"
The Blood Serpent suddenly wailed, his voice full of pain.
The tentacles violently retracted, and in turn dragged the blood snake over.
The Great Evil Demon's mouth opened all at once, and the angle reached an astonishing one hundred and eighty degrees.
There was no real organ in its throat, only a thick black mist.
And then.
The blood snake was swallowed in one gulp.
The Great Evil Demon's mouth closed again.
This sudden scene stunned all the villagers, including the Great Elder.
The corners of Konda's eyes began to jump wildly.
Because it saw that the evil demons who had just fallen in time got up from the ground.
In the process, their bodies seem to turn into an illusory state.
The short spear fell straight down.
The demon was unscathed.
Without hesitation, Conda turned around and fled.
It knew that this battle had been lost, and that if it ran slowly, there was only one way to die.
*
A kilometer away.
Cheng Han stood on a tree, looking at the battlefield from afar, his brows furrowed slightly.
As soon as he entered this realm, he saw a good show.
He doesn't have a crush on vampires, so he doesn't plan to come to his rescue.
Cheng Han looked at the panicked villagers and muttered in a low voice, "How do I feel, the aura of the evil demon is a bit like an old friend?" ”
