Truly.

This thing in the picture, if you ignore the monkey that resembles an old man, is exactly like a bat.

And while everyone was pondering, Liang Xinan said: "Three points can be summarized through the existing information. ”

"First, this thing has never appeared in the Wufu Sea before, and this point has been confirmed by the head of the hole and this Fan Daniu, so there should be no dispute."

Kong Xiangdong and Fan Daniu both nodded when they heard this.

As people who have been chasing the sea for many years, they know all too well what creatures are in this snowy field.

Therefore, it can be determined that this large bat has never been seen before.

After all, if such a strange creature had existed on the northern snowfields before, they couldn't have known about it.

"The second point is that this big bat has an extremely strange ability, which can block a person's perception and control the person's body, which is not the most important thing."

"Most importantly, it seems to create an area where people are cut off from perception and attention, and anything that happens in this area is difficult for the outside world to detect, even if it's close at hand."

"That's why the previous two disappearances were without any signs, except for a little drag on the ground."

Everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

Because this ability is really weird.

It's all well to say that controlling a person's perception and body, but this ability to create areas out of thin air that shield a person's perception and attention is simply incredible.

If this were to be used on the battlefield, it would be a nightmare.

Imagine that a comrade who had just been fighting alongside you suddenly disappears, and you don't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Immediately after that, strange creatures appear around you, and when you attack you, the others are also unnoticed.

What a desperate situation it must be.

Regardless of the lethality of this method, the blow to morale alone is fatal.

Fortunately, Liang Xin'an's next words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"The third point, and the only good news, is that this creature should only be strong in weird abilities, and its ontological combat power is not high, otherwise it will not be broken by this Fan brother's punch."

After listening to Liang Xin'an's summary, everyone present nodded secretly.

Regardless of anything else, after such an analysis, the situation has become much clearer, at least it is no longer as dark as before.

Then I saw Kong Xiangdong frowning and said, "The question is, how to prevent this thing?" You must know that lanterns have been lit all over the camp now, but the result is still not enough to stop the sneak attack of this thing. ”

"That's because these lanterns have a limited range of illumination!" Liang Xinan said.

"Through the narration of this old brother Fan just now, we know that this big bat is flying in mid-air, and the light of the lantern is basically facing downward, so it naturally has no effect."

"That's true!" Kong Xiangdong couldn't help but marvel at Liang Xin'an's keen insight, and then asked.

"So what are we going to do?"

"If it's someone else, it can't be helped, but don't forget what we're for!"

Speaking of this, Liang Xin'an turned his head to look at Huang Liang.

"Senior Brother Huang, I'm going to trouble you next."

Huang Liang smiled, "Don't worry, this little thing is not worth mentioning at all." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

Kong Xiangdong didn't understand what Liang Xin'an and Huang Liang planned to do, but this doubt was quickly solved.

Seeing that it was only half an hour, Huang Liang pushed a small cart into the tent.

"This is a mobile lighting vehicle that I just developed with a few junior students of Tiangong, from which it is filled with fire oil, and then the cotton twist can be lit."

As he spoke, he demonstrated it, and sure enough, a huge flame appeared on the cart made of wood, illuminating the huge tent.

Kong Xiangdong circled around the lighting car a few times, and then raised his head with some confusion.

"It's very bright, but what if it's windy outside, and it's no different from a lantern, it can't light up the night sky at all!"

Huang Liang smiled, "Leader Kong, don't be impatient, since it was developed by me and a few juniors, it will naturally not be so simple." ”

As he spoke, Huang Liang took out another wooden box, and when he opened it, there was a huge crystal cover.

"Actually, this simple thing should be made of glass, but it's too late, so I have to use expensive natural crystals to make it temporarily."

As he spoke, Huang Liang put the cover on the roof of the car, and in an instant, the light in the tent increased by at least one degree.

The main thing is that a large and brilliant circle of light also appears on the top of the tent.

Not only that, Huang Liang used his hand to break a device on the cover, and the aperture actually moved slowly.

"I've calculated that as long as eight of these lighting vehicles patrol according to a specific route, the entire camp can be covered in all directions." Huang Liang said confidently.

Kong Xiangdong instantly became excited, "Then when can we make other lighting cars?" ”

"Don't worry, when I came, those little juniors were in the process of rushing to make it, the key is that this thing is not difficult, this first one is a crystal used for testing, and the rest can be cut with ice cubes, it's a big deal to change it every day."

Truly.

For the people who are accustomed to making all kinds of large machinery, such a lighting car is not difficult, so it only took more than two hours for the remaining seven to be made.

The most critical component, the light shield, is also made of ice cubes according to Huang Liang.

When eight lighting carts appeared in the camp and lit up the entire night sky, it also caused a lot of commotion among the campers.

Fan Daniu's incident has already spread, although those people are not in danger of life, but under the excessive fright, they don't want to get out of bed in a short time.

This also makes the sensitive nerve in many people's hearts more and more tense.

Although no one dared to say it on the surface, the discussion in private never stopped.

"Hey, have you heard, Fan Daniu almost didn't die."

"I've heard that a big bat did it, and I wonder how big a bat can drag so many people away without realizing it."

"What kind of bat, I heard that it is a flying monkey, and this monkey can also speak, and likes to eat human brains the most, at that time, Fan Daniu was almost lifted by the Tianling cover, so he tried his best to resist."

"I also heard the old man say that such a monkey is the result of the condensation of resentment, and it is here to hook people's souls, which is extremely powerful."

For a while, there was nothing to say, and the camp could no longer be described as panicked, it was simply shrouded in a forest of ghosts.

In this context, the appearance of these eight lighting cars naturally caused quite a stir.

In particular, the night sky that is lit up gives people a full sense of security, and the panicked hearts are slowly calmed down.

I have to say that Liang Xin'an's proposal is really to the point.

When these lighting vehicles appeared, there were no more disappearances in the camp for the next few days.

The heart that people were hanging on was finally gradually let go.

But just when people were rejoicing, in the big tent in the center, Kong Xiangdong, Jing Rou, Huang Liang and Liang Xin'an sat together, and the expressions on their faces were unprecedentedly solemn.

"Are you sure our camp is locked down?" Jing Rou couldn't help but ask.

Kong Xiangdong nodded solemnly, "That's right, because according to the custom, the supply caravan should have arrived yesterday, but there is still no news until today." ”

"Is it possible that there was some accident on the way to this supply caravan that delayed the date?" Jing Rou said.

"It's impossible, first of all, this is already the edge of the northern snow field, and there is not much danger, and secondly, even if this kind of supply caravan is usually divided into three teams to operate, in order to prevent accidents and wipe out all the troops."

"As for the date of the delay...... Kong paused to the east, then continued.

"In the northern snowfield, no one dares to joke with time, because the time of day is often the difference between life and death, so anyone who wants to do this business must regard the date as more important than life."

"And the caravan I work with is an experienced old trading house, and no matter what accidents have happened for so many years, there has been no delay, but now there is no news of it, which only proves that they have all had an accident."

"But then you're not sure we're blocked!" Jing Rouwu asked without giving up, and Huang Liang and Liang Xin'an also listened quietly.

Don't look at them as people from the Organ Sect, but in the land of the Northern Snow Plain, their experience is not as rich as that of ordinary people, so they have to ask Kong Xiangdong to do it.

Kong Xiangdong sighed, "Because I had already quietly sent someone out to investigate as early as yesterday, and the result was ...... No one returned. ”

Suddenly, the faces of the people in the room became even more ugly.

For them, the battle of real swords and guns is not terrible, but this feeling of not being able to see where the enemy is, so that they can only defend passively is too awkward.

This was the case with the previous disappearance, but I didn't expect that just after this problem was solved, something like this would happen again.

"How long will the reserves in the camp last?" Liang Xin'an asked in a deep voice.

"The food and wine are still sufficient, but there is not much fire oil for lighting, and this caravan is mainly sending us fire oil, and this is what happened."

After listening to Kong Xiangdong's words, even the most calm Huang Liang couldn't sit still at this time.

Because now it's clear what the fire oil means to the camp.

Once the fire oil is cut off and the camp is plunged into darkness, there is no need for foreign enemies to invade, and the demoralization alone is enough for everyone to drink.

"I'll go back and think about it again to see if I can minimize the consumption of fire oil while maintaining the brightness." At this time, Huang Liang can only make this statement.

No one was silent.

Because everyone understands that this is really just a psychological comfort.

After all, no matter how much you improve, the oil must be consumed.

As for switching to other fuels.

Not to mention that the brightness of the coal after ignition is not enough, and that thing is used by people to keep warm, once this reserve is exhausted, there is no need for ghost monkeys to sneak attack, and the freezing alone can freeze people to death.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Liang Xinan suddenly said: "I have an idea. ”

"What thoughts?" Kong Xiangdong immediately asked.

"Eight lighting trucks were set on fire to cover the entire camp, but it was a waste."

"Nowadays, since the use of fire oil is a little less, it is better to gather people, so that you can prevent sneak attacks, and secondly, you can also reduce the consumption of lighting vehicles."

Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this proposal.

However, Huang Liang is older and more serious, so he added: "Remember that this process should be handled naturally, especially not to disclose the news that the camp has been locked down and isolated, so as not to cause unnecessary commotion." ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Kong Xiangdong said.

In fact, the sea catchers under his command and the disciples of the organ sect can be said that the key is the others who stay.

Most of these people were seafarers who belonged to other forces, and some even stayed with the chiefs.

They either wanted to follow Kong Xiangdong to fight the enemy together out of righteousness or out of fishing in troubled waters to see if there were any benefits to be fished, but they didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

Once these people learn the inside story, it is easy to cause riots.

And as soon as the formation is messed up, this camp is estimated to be over.

Kong moved very quickly to the east, quickly gathered the people, and then gathered them into several large tents in the central area in the name of preventing sneak attacks and saving fuel resources.

In this regard, except for a very small number of people who complained, the others basically did so obediently.

After all, compared to the inconvenience of sleeping in a chase shop, your own life is the most important.

And when people are brought together, the task that used to take eight lighting vehicles is now enough for three.

The consumption of fire oil has been reduced by more than half.

But it's not a way to sit and eat like this, after all, the day when the oil is used up.

If Zhao Ya hadn't brought someone to come before this, wouldn't he have to wait for death?

For this reason, Liang Xin'an proposed to go out of the camp to investigate the situation outside.

Jing Rou echoed without hesitation: "Count me in!" ”

Then he said to Huang Liang and Kong Xiangdong: "Leader Kong, Senior Brother Huang, you two are guarding the camp here, and I will go outside with Xin'an to see what is going on." ”

Huang Liang didn't stop him, but just nodded solemnly and said, "Then you two must be careful." ”

"Don't worry, I've got the real thing on me, I'm going to see what survives the bombardment of this thing."

As she spoke, Jing Rou took out an oversized handcuff from her leather pocket.

This thing says it's a gun, but it's almost like a cannon.

Not only that, but Jing Rou even prepared a big bag full of items such as flares, thunderbolts, and fires.

If something really strange dares to sneak attack, Jing Rou promises to give the other party a big "surprise".

Huang Liang has made an improved version of the lighting vehicle, which can not only illuminate, but also have a place to set up crossbows and firearms on it, and the key parts are also well defended.

After making some preparations, under the eyes of everyone, Liang Xin'an and Jing Rou pushed the lighting cart and left the camp.
