Chapter 15: The Shadow Covering the Sky

It was just a shadow, but as the shadow-formed tentacles swept across the back of a townsman, a huge laceration appeared on his back, and with his screams, blood spurted out of the wound and soaked his clothes.

The point is that even so, the people on the side still don't know what happened, they don't even see what is attacking their compatriots, the closest relatives next to them support the person who fell to the ground in wail, and the others around them are frightened and retreat, lest they themselves be hurt by the invisible threat.

Blood spurted onto the shadow tentacles, and the blood-stained shadows were finally exposed to the eyes of the people around them, and it was only then that people saw this strange tentacle, and the even more strange strange thing at the end of the tentacle.

"Snort", the long whip shot out, entangled the wounded and the people who were supporting them, and dragged the two away from the shadows, and at the same time as the two were dragged away, Monica had jumped up from the horse, and as soon as her arms were on the wall, the person was already standing on the wall.

And Victor, who was standing at the door, had already retreated from the door as soon as the screams inside rang out, and appeared at the scene of the incident for the first time.

In an instant, only Babu himself was left, alone outside the wall, and he looked down at little Anna in his arms, sighed deeply, hugged her tighter, and jumped up the wall.

There was chaos in the walls.

The wounded man was lying in the corner, and the short Victor was lying beside him, unaware of what he was doing, and from him, it was clear that a faint red mist enveloped him, accompanied by a familiar fishy sweet smell.

The rest of the people panicked, but fortunately there were seven or eight vigilantes to maintain order, and the townspeople did not run around and stampede. They didn't dare to run around, because just near the gate of the courtyard, Monica was entangled with the shadows.

Unlike the big and small monsters on the edge, this shadow is particularly difficult, and the other characteristics are okay, but the key is that once attacked, this monster will disperse into a cloud of phantoms, and after recondensing on the side, it will attack again. It's not that the attack is ineffective, but most of the effects of the attack are resolved by this process, and the effect is very unsatisfactory. In a few turns, Monica had shattered four tentacles and torn a large shadow from its main body, but the monster couldn't see any effect at all, and instead left a deep wound on the calf of a vigilante in the opposite direction.

As soon as the Bรกb ascended the wall, he was met with a friendly exchange of tricks, and as soon as he showed his head, the tentacles came at him, giving him no time to react.

Protecting Anna with one hand, the dagger in the other hand was already in the hand, stabbing the oncoming tentacles fiercely, and at the same time the source energy exploded. At this time, Babu finally realized Monica's feelings, just like a hard punch but only smashed into the air, this time most of the source energy burst exploded in the air, and before the energy exploded, the other party had dispersed into a cloud of shadow mist, and finally only one tentacle was blown up.

Although the disappointed Babu stopped for a while, Monica did not, and when she saw the result of Babu's attack, her eyes lit up and the whip was stretched out again. The monster was frustrated on Babu, and as soon as it recondensed, the long whip had already caught up with him, and with a fierce whip, the black shadow that had just gathered dispersed again.

Babu immediately understood, and without being reminded by Monica, he jumped off the wall a few steps and caught up with the monster that had not yet had time to gather, and at the same time the monster appeared, a knife was sent into its body.

Maybe it was the experience of life and death on the edge last night that played a role, although the cooperation between the two was still the first time, it was quite tacit, several consecutive combos barely left a gap, the strange thing had no chance to struggle at all, it was defeated as soon as it appeared, and after several consecutive times, with a burst of energy fluctuations in Babu's perception, the black shadow could no longer recondense, and dissipated into pure free energy in the world, leaving only a few black fragments like rags.

With a flick of his wrist, the dagger disappeared from his fingertips, and the tip of the long whip appeared at his feet, sweeping away the black shards of the ground. As soon as he turned around, he saw that Monica had put away the pieces, was smiling widely, gave him a thumbs up, and then raised her fist. Babu's hand met it, and the two fists slammed into each other in the air, and the two smiled at each other.

"Boss, you wait first and then gaze affectionately, the situation is a little wrong, you hurry up and take a look, it's ...... outside"

At some point, Victor had already left the crowd and returned to the courtyard gate, looking at his position just now, the wounds of the injured person who had been injured before had been bandaged properly, his breathing was smooth, and he was obviously no longer in danger. At this moment Victor was driving the two horses outside into the yard, shouting and saying something different as he dragged them.

Monica frowned, and returned to the courtyard gate with Babu to look out, which seemed to get darker outside, and even the other fires in the town in the distance seemed much dimmer.

Well? Wrong.

It's not that the sky is dark, it's not that the fire is dim, but shadows, and at some point, large shadows have appeared around them, some hovering slowly in the air, some crawling on the ground, although the speed is not fast, but they have always maintained the same direction of movement, and they are firmly moving towards the security station where the crowd gathers.

Dozens? Hundreds? Even with Babu's observation, it is impossible to estimate the approximate number, because the surrounding black shadows exist in patches, one on top of the other, densely layered, and from a distance, it is not a black shadow, but a large black fog, a black fog that obscures the sky and the sun.

Babu's gaze immediately turned to Monica, and Monica was also shocked at this time, pointing to the spectacular scene outside and stunned for several seconds before gritting her teeth and saying, "Send a signal." โ€

"Got it, Boss. But which signal to send, red or green, or both? I know, in an emergency, it must be red, I'm going to ......" Victor had already rescued the horse at this time, and ran to the utility room as soon as he heard the order, but his mouth never stopped, and everyone ran over, and the voice refused to leave.

"It's not going to be easy now." Victor had already left, Monica and Babu were standing at the entrance to the courtyard away from the townspeople, Monica's face was cloudy, and her voice was very low, "Suddenly there are so many strange things, maybe we can escape by self-preservation, but I'm afraid none of these townspeople can escape." โ€

"Haven't been in a situation like this before?"

"Never, not even the worst shock a decade ago." Monica stared at the hellish scene in the distance, the darkness surged, the tentacles waved, dense, bringing only despair and fear, "It's unreasonable, according to the current stage, even if all the tricks that infiltrated are gathered here, there shouldn't be so many, so many tricks should have entered the fourth stage a long time ago." No, Victor, Victor, send a signal and call Suni out, it's time to get to work. โ€

"You're going to call for help?" Babu asked softly, "Is it really useful to call for help now?" โ€

"You don't actually have to say that." Monica gave Babu a blank look, of course she knew what Babu meant, if the monster really appeared randomly in the town as before, then the situation should be similar everywhere, and it was impossible to free up his hands to rescue, "We all know, but they don't know, at least it can make them feel at ease." And...... What if it helps? โ€

Babu patted her on the shoulder, but did not speak, and behind them, three flames rose into the air in a row, exploding into three red spots of light, and the blood-like light curtain filled the night, so that the fireworks, which were supposed to represent jubilation and happiness, were covered with a layer of enchanting colors.

The signal rose, and Babu saw that there was another woman leaning over with Victor, who should be Suni in Monica's mouth just now. Suni was wearing a wide cloth robe, but the clothes were close to her body during the movements, and it could be seen that she was very thin, with a sickly pale face, and a thick wooden cane in her hand.

At the sight of this woman, Babu felt his hair blow up, and he felt that what he saw was not a human at all, but a humanoid monster. The woman's body was almost filled with red mist that no one else could see, exuding an eerie and dangerous aura, and the red mist twisted and rolled behind her, like tentacles that were constantly waving one by one. Babu wondered if this man would follow the path of the unlucky ghost from last night and turn into a contaminated body called the Phantommon.

"Suni, are you okay?" In the face of this woman, Monica's voice also lightened a lot, as if she was afraid that she would blow the other party away with too much strength, she was very considerate and supported Suni and said, "This is Babu, this is Suni, I will give you two a detailed introduction when I have time in the future, now Suni, you look outside first, how long do you think you can support it?" โ€

Slowly walking to the door, Suni looked over, turned around and smiled bitterly: "Captain, do you want me to die tonight?" โ€

"What do you say?" Monica glared at her, "I mean what you can." โ€

"I'll try, don't get your hopes up." Victor held the torch to the side, Suni slowly moved out of the door, leaning against the wooden staff to hold herself, she took a deep breath and clapped her hands violently.

"Smack".

Babu saw that the blood-colored mist outside her body suddenly surged, followed by a pillar of energy into the sky. Then, whether it was a normal space or an abnormal space in the field of vision, a dark cloud condensed in the sky, and a sphere formed by a large cloud of black gas smashed down from the clouds to the ground like an air strike, and the landing point was the shadow monsters that were clustered on the ground.

It seems that everyone can still see the black gas, with a burst of suppressed exclamations in the crowd, the black air masses smashed to the ground one by one, and as the fog stirred by the energy dissipated, a few pieces of the treacherous group did vacate a few pieces, but it didn't last even a second, and the vacant place was refilled by the surrounding treachery, and there was no difference from before at all.

Suni frowned, her face turned even paler, and her right hand raised her finger to point to the sky.

The blood mist centered on the quality inspection, forming concentric circles that spread outward, the concentric circles expanded larger and larger, and finally circled the courtyard of the security station, enclosing four energy circles inside and outside, the farthest one, extending to the edge of the strange group.

"How long I can support it depends on how long they can support it."

Suni gasped, wiping the sweat from her forehead, her body shook for a while, and if it weren't for Victor's side, she would have collapsed to the ground by now. Hearing her words, the eyes of several people fell on the outermost energy circle with anticipation.

"Smack", the first monster, has already touched the energy circle.
