Chapter 716: The Worst Fear of Darkness
In the past, Mu Tian's cultivation Dao was the Dreadnought Dao, and he didn't expect that one day the Dao he cultivated would be combined with today's Dao.
He has experienced so many physical and mental brilliance, all of this is testing his Dao heart, the Fearless Dao dare not say that it is the strongest Dao, but it is the most mysterious Dao, much more powerful than the Invincible Dao.
At this time, Mu Tian is no longer immortal in this fearless world, of course, he is not really immortal, but just a state of mind, and it is this mentality that allows Mu Tian to restrain pain and life and death.
He was now in a dark world, and this time it was a new test, and Mu Tian didn't know what he would face next, but he was ready.
Mu Tian began to fly forward, and soon, it became even darker here, and he had begun to lose his fingers, Mu Tian waved his hand forward, and immediately found that his arm was devoured.
"Come on!"
The sudden sound startled him, Mu Tian looked back and found an old man holding a kerosene lamp waving to him, Mu Tian looked around, although he was puzzled, he still walked over.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
When Mu Tian asked, the old man suddenly grabbed his hand, the other party's hand was a little cold, and the old man dragged Mu Tian forward for a distance, and suddenly a basin appeared in front of him.
"Go down. ”
The old man followed the slide into the basin, and Mu Tian also followed, and when he came in, he found that a lot of kerosene lamps were lit here, driving away the surrounding darkness.
Some people came out of the tent, and Mu Tian noticed that these people were dressed in relatively old clothes, and there were oil lamps everywhere on the ground, and there were even more oil lamps than the people here.
"Who are you, what are you out there alone. After the old man put down the kerosene lamp, he looked up at Mu Tian.
Mu Tian said: "I don't know how to run outside, here is ......"
"Oh no, darkness is coming!"
There was a loud shout outside, the old man's face changed, he immediately picked up the oil drum next to him and rushed out, Mu Tian was puzzled, he went out to take a look, and found that hundreds of people were gathered together in a panic, and a large piece of kerosene was sprinkled on the ground, and it was directly ignited with fire.
The darkness that spread around extinguished countless kerosene lamps, but when this piece of kerosene was ignited, the firelight illuminated most of the basin, and the darkness quickly began to fade, and Mu Tian even heard a terrible scream.
Mu Tian trembled subconsciously, because the sound was too scary, worse than a ghost scream, as if someone was rubbing a blade back and forth on a person's bones, making people worry.
"Everybody come over and continue to light the lights that are out. ”
After the old man gave the order, some men in the prime of life took torches and went over to relight the extinguished lamps around them, and when the light covered the basin again, the darkness around them was completely removed from the basin, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
"They retreated. A young man gasped.
The old man nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "Recently, they have become more and more rampant, and they have dared to take the initiative to attack us." ”
Mu Tian still had doubts in his heart, what those dark things were, and why they attacked them.
"You come with me. The old man returned to the tent with Mu Tian, and the other party took out a kerosene lamp and said, "You try to light it." ”
Although Mu Tian didn't understand why the other party asked him to do this, Mu Tian still lit the kerosene lamp smoothly.
Seeing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I guessed wrong, it seems that you are not them." ”
"What the hell are they. Mu Tian asked curiously.
The old man's face was solemn, and after a moment of silence, he explained, "They are demons, they represent the most evil forces of darkness, and if we can't drive them out with light, we will all end up like them." ”
Mu Tian frowned, he somewhat understood what this old man meant, it was very likely that the darkness was a mysterious creature, if a person was engulfed in darkness, it was very likely that he would turn into a walking dead to attack others, just like what he had encountered before.
"Then you're going to disperse them with this kerosene?" asked Mu Tian.
The old man sighed: "The darkness used to be very short, but now the darkness is getting longer, according to the time, it should be dawn, but you see ......"
Mu Tian turned his head to look out, the sky was still very dark, not even a star could be seen, except for this basin, there was darkness all around, and the sound of grinding teeth kept sounding, which was very scary.
"Then what did you survive? Mu Tian asked.
"During the day we would go out looking for food, but the darkness was getting longer and longer, and the time we went out was very short, and the previous wave of people who went out didn't come back, so I found out about you......"
Hearing this, Mu Tian roughly understood, no wonder the other party would run into him, it turned out that he had gone out to look for that team, but that team had not come back for so long, and it was very likely that it had been assimilated by the darkness.
Then there was a brief silence, and little by little, when everyone went to rest, Mu Tian noticed a glimmer of light outside.
Then Mu Tian walked out of the tent, he saw a ray of light through the darkness and descended in the middle of the basin, as the light spread around, those deep darkness slowly disappeared, the sky opened up at once, the land became bright, and the darkness disappeared completely.
"It's dawn. Mu Tian muttered.
The old man walked out, and everyone around him greeted him, because the other party was the village chief here, who had been managing the village for more than fifty years.
"Village Chief, today we went out to find new kerosene and food. Several young men came over, with kerosene lamps and cans around their waists.
The village chief looked at them and couldn't help but sigh, because there were basically not many young people left in the entire village, and many people did not come back before the dark after going out, and it was estimated that the chances of survival were not very good.
If these people don't come back, the whole village will only be left with the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then the village will eventually be swallowed up by darkness.
"Otherwise, I'll take it. Mu Tiandao: "I have some things to do, I'll go with you." ”
The village chief frowned at first, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with this little brother, you stay and take care of the village, if we don't come back for three days......"
"Village chief, you can't go, if you want to go, we'll go!"
The village chief had made up his mind and would not listen to their advice, so while the sky was still bright, he and Mu Tian left the basin and set off.
When the two of them walked a distance, the sky suddenly became a little dark, and the village chief's face became a little ugly, and now that the daylight was so short, it would become forever here.
