Chapter 3: The White Robe and Lord Voldemort
Indulged in memories, so that he neglected to monitor, and failed to find the traces of the demon in the first place.
When he noticed that there was some noise in the town, his heart sank, and he finally smelled the unique smell of demons - darkness, which made people want to be restless.
Sky smiled and cast the blue gaze far away. I saw that under the wall of the opposite corner of the town, three alien demons were gathered, roaring at the town, as if they were about to attack at any time.
A mere wall would not be a barrier to demons unless they were guarded by a large number of warriors or mages.
But at this moment, there are only no more than five ordinary warriors patrolling the city wall at most, and this kind of combat power will not play any role in front of the three demons.
If the three demons cross the city wall and enter the gathering place of ordinary people, it will be a tiger entering the flock, and dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people will be killed in an instant.
Sky laughed at the thought of this, and at the same time felt shocked and deeply blamed himself.
"But it's just too late!"
He leaped lightly, his body like a mist of mist, and in an instant he was already ten feet away, and then he galloped away, silently along the way.
Just before Sky smiled and saw the demon, the warrior who patrolled the night had already sent someone to inform the town mayor Lin Zhen about the discovery of the demon's traces for the first time.
When Lin Zhen heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.
A radius of dozens of miles from Autumn Wind Town can be summarized as the hinterland of human beings, and under normal circumstances, aliens are rare.
Even if there is, it will be expelled by the patrol force of Jingye City as soon as possible.
Like today, it was the first time that Lin Zhen had experienced the matter of being attacked by natural enemies and demons under the city walls.
However, he is also the mayor of the town, and he has long been mentally prepared to be 'soldiers coming to the city', and he issued several orders in a few moments.
"Quick, quick, ignite the phantom smoke and let all the warriors prepare the city wall. ”
Smoke is the smoke produced by burning the droppings of a bird in the sky.
The Phantom Bird is a type of hidden bird. Hidden birds cannot be seen by the eyes of other creatures when they soar in the sky, and only reveal their true faces when they stop.
The smoke from the droppings of the Phantom Bird is also colorless and transparent, making it impossible for the eye to detect.
But if you smear the saliva of the Phantom Sky Bird on your eyes, even if you are ten miles away, you can see that the clouds of smoke are like phantom birds flying up from the ground and going straight to the sky.
Jingye City and the surrounding three towns have night watchmen who smear the saliva of phantom birds on their eyes, and they will be the first to know the news that Autumn Wind Town has been attacked by demons.
"Dad, I'll go with you too. ”
Lin Yuqing followed: "My daughter is familiar with the types of demons and their corresponding weaknesses, so she can help you." ”
"Nonsense, your daughter's family ......" Lin Zhen naturally didn't want his daughter to go to the front line to take risks, and if he didn't want to, he had to refuse.
Lin Yuqing, who understood his thoughts, hurriedly said: "Dad, if you let the demons attack the town, it will inevitably cause chaos. It only takes a maximum of thirty breaths for three demons to slaughter the entire town in the chaos, and Jingye City's support will take at least half a pillar of incense. No one, including my daughter, will be spared. ”
Lin Yuqing's expression was extremely serious, and she continued: "What we have to do now is to stop and kill the three demons outside the town. But the bigger problem is that now the night has just fallen, and the hunters in the night are looking for targets to attack, if they can't kill the demons before they make a big move, the whole town will be exposed to the night, and at that time, even if you wait for the support of the city lord's mansion, it will be difficult to recover the overall situation. ”
Lin Zhen hadn't experienced any big scenes, and when he heard his daughter, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes were scattered left and right, and he just wanted to find someone to get an idea.
Lin Yuqing's jade hands hurriedly covered her father's thick hands, trying to calm him down.
The trembling hand was pressed down by the soft touch, and Lin Zhen realized that his daughter was much calmer than himself, and he was ashamed in his heart.
At the same time, he was also relieved to sigh that his daughter had gone to the city to study for three years, and she had indeed grown up, and she was more responsible and productive than himself, a father!
Originally, he also planned that after his daughter came back this time, he would tell her about her mother-in-law's house nearby, after all, his daughter's family showed up a lot, and she would be gossiped about after a long time! But now it seems that his daughter's mind is clearly not inferior to that of a man, but I am afraid that she will not be at ease to marry and teach her children early.
Hey, I don't know if it's good or bad to let her go to Shangcheng to study for three years, it's just that the old man is now embarrassed, and his face is lost, but I'm afraid that he won't listen to her. If she can not die this time, even if she wants to be a martial artist, let her go, the old man can't control it. I had no choice but to quit the village chief and stay at home and not go out to see people.
After thinking so much, I calmed down a little.
I saw that the muscles on his face froze, nodded, showed a resolute look, and walked quickly towards the outside of the house.
Lin Yuqing was slightly surprised when she saw that her father calmed down so quickly, and she was still on her own.
Anyway, she was happy to see it, and hurriedly followed.
"Where are the demons??Did they come in?" Lin Zhen hurriedly ran to the scene with a group of martial artists, panting and whispering.
"Mayor Mare, this way!"
The night watchman led Lin Zhen up the city wall, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Mayor, look. But it doesn't seem to be a demon, it's like a ghoul!"
"Ghouls?" Lin Zhen repeated, looking in the direction of his finger.
I saw that under the city wall, there were three alien monsters the size of calves hesitating, advancing and retreating, roaring again and again.
They also seem to be afraid of humans, showing a look of panic, but they still refuse to leave, and roar at the city wall a few times, looking greedy.
"Dad, this is indeed the lowest level of ghouls, the demons have a strict hierarchy inside, as long as they gather together in a group, they must have a natural priority. Seeing that they are out of order and unintelligent, they are unlikely to be primordial demons. Lin Yuqing observed carefully and said decisively.
In fact, strictly speaking, ghouls are also a branch of demons, but they are acquired demons that are formed by infection.
The saliva of the primordial demon carries a special energy, and if you have been bitten by the primordial demon, you will be infected by this energy. If these beings are lucky enough not to die, they will become such ghouls.
The biggest difference between ghouls and primordial demons is that ghouls have no intelligence, are as ignorant as beasts, and only have simple desires, so their combat effectiveness is much lower than that of primordial demons.
Under the combat power of ghouls, the predatory ability is weak, and they usually only pick up some dead corpses to eat, which is called ghouls.
"But the strange thing is that the desire in the ghoul is suppressed by the conflict with the original life consciousness, so the courage is very small, and it is generally impossible to appear around us humans. Now it seems that although they are extremely frightened, they still refuse to leave...... Could it be that he was so hungry that he lost even the last shred of his sense?" Lin Yuqing thought in a low voice.
"Miss Lin is so knowledgeable! The subordinates also guessed, seeing that these beasts' eyes were scarlet, obviously completely controlled by their appetite, so they lingered and refused to leave. ”
The night watchman's tone changed, and he said with some concern: "Originally, the ghouls were not to be feared, but now the problem is that it has just fallen into the night, and if these beasts are allowed to stay here, they will inevitably attract other hunters, and maybe even real demons." ”
After listening to everyone's narration, Lin Zhen's hanging heart finally stabilized a little, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "No matter what, it's good if it's not a demon." ”
Lin Zhen turned around again and instructed a middle-aged man: "Lao Li, you go and prepare, and lead people to drive these beasts away, or slaughter them." If you really can't do it, you have to find a way to trap it and wait for the support of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Lao Li's beard and beard are recognized as the best martial artist in Autumn Wind Town.
"Just look at it. ”
Lao Li shook his muscles, clicked a few more people, and walked behind him with a eager face.
In the shadow of the corner, the sky that had been arriving for a long time smiled at the ghoul not far away, and there was a hint of confusion and thought on his face.
Ghouls are sapient creatures, and their war instincts are not even comparable to beasts, and they don't deliberately hide their aura like demons, how did three ghouls like this evade their own surveillance and run so close to the town?
Even if you were a little distracted at the time, this situation would never have happened.
"Could it be ......" The palms of his hands tightened, and a bad possibility welled up in his mind.
At the same time, Lao Li carried a pair of plate axes and led more than a dozen heavily armed warriors to walk out of the small gate of the city wall and surrounded the three ghouls.
"Separate these beasts first, remember to keep the movement as small as possible, and slaughter if you can, or if you can't slaughter and hurt. Lao Li said with a shimmering spirit.
Everyone nodded, and while surrounding, they did not raise the weapons in their hands to make a threatening gesture.
The three ghouls looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, and finally showed an extremely frightened expression, and their limbs hesitated in place.
But no matter how much everyone threatened, the ghoul would not retreat, just like a soldier who had received a death order, and looked like he was ready to 'fish to die and break the net'.
"These brutes are really evil today......
Lao Li scolded, and then his body was short, and he rushed towards one of the ghouls with a plate axe, and the rest of them also made a feint.
At this moment, the earth shook suddenly, and countless tentacles stretched out from the surface, like spears, stabbing straight towards everyone.
The sudden change made everyone panic, and they didn't have time to react, so they grew their mouths and looked frightened.
Only Lin Yuqing reacted and said urgently: "It's Voldemort, Uncle Li run!"
Voldemort is a branch of demons, and in the hierarchical demon system, it also belongs to the rank of nobility, and can dominate low-level demons.
Voldemort can roam beneath the surface at will, and can use the power of the earth to completely hide his own aura and that of his kind, which is why Sky Laugh can't spot it.
Before Lin Yuqing's exclamation sounded, Lao Li and the others had already heard the sound of breaking wind behind them, and reflexively raised their weapons to rotate and block.
But the demon was so powerful, he only heard a bang, and slapped the weapons in everyone's hands away, and then the tentacles did not change, piercing everyone's hearts.
"Lives will come to an end. Lao Li seemed to foresee his blood splashing on the spot, and closed his eyes in despair.
But what made him strange was that after a while, there was no expected coldness of the foreign body inserted into the heart.
Instead, I heard a series of thuds, like firecrackers. Immediately afterwards, there was a huge repulsive force in the chest, although the force was great, but there was no sharp feeling of being 'stabbed', it was more like being pushed by some invisible force, and the body shot backwards.
It turned out that when the tentacles stabbed them, countless fist-sized air bubbles suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, like soap bubbles, cyan and dense.
The toughness of the bubble is excellent, piercing but not penetrating, penetrating but not breaking, blocking all the tentacles from the outside, so that it cannot move forward.
"Wind bubbles?" a shriveled and hoarse voice came from underground, filled with rage.
Then, the tentacles poked violently, and the bubbles were concave inward, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore, and they exploded one after another, and the huge impact pushed the warrior and the tentacles away to both sides.
The exploding tentacles rolled slightly in the air, and then went upstream, continuing to poke at everyone's chests.
The sky on the side laughed at the same time as the bubbles exploded, and they approached with an arrow.
I saw that he formed claws with both hands, grabbed one of the tentacles, and inserted his fingers into the flesh of the tentacles.
"Now that I know about the Wind Bubble, it doesn't seem like it's the first time I've come into contact with humans. Since everyone is so familiar, wouldn't it seem too raw to come without showing their faces. ”
He pulled suddenly, and with the tentacles pulled out a three-headed octopus monster, and then threw it over his shoulder, and the three-headed octopus was thrown out entirely, and with a bang, it smashed into the open space not far away.
The tentacles of the octopus's second attack seemed to be broken, and it did not advance but retreated, and it never came close to everyone again.
Lin Yuqing was still the first to react, and after seeing the smiling appearance of the sky, she couldn't help but exhale: "Ah, it's him?"
The jade hand covered her small mouth, and her pretty face was full of disbelief.
Then, everyone finally reacted, and they all turned their incredible gazes to the white-robed and huge octopus monster.
