Chapter 82: Shadow Demon
Three hundred and ninety-seven people.
Not too much, not too little, all sprinkled on the ridge with no end in sight, pulling out a marching sequence of more than twenty miles, often three or two people, five or six people formed a small team, walking a little scattered.
The reason for this is because of mutual distrust on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to free up the battlefield, facilitate the battle, and prevent accidental injury.
After all, among these people, except for Duan Heng, the rest of the people have the lowest strength, and they all have the cultivation of the county position, and they are all elites, and any evil qi spell can be played more than ten miles away.
The monsters that came out of the road were blasted away before they could attack.
So the first day of the march was very fast, at least more than 2,000 miles, but the second day the situation was a little complicated, not only the number of monsters along the way was more, but the terrain was also more dizzying, it is no wonder that Luo Yunrong was strong, and he had to rely on a patchwork map to choose the right direction.
Because every minute here is the result of being lost.
In comparison, the underground maze that was once in the dark wind has become very cute.
Duan Heng hadn't gone so far before, in fact, most of the other people had also gone deep into this place, it was Luo Yunrong, according to her, she had only penetrated less than five thousand miles.
The reason is that the landscape is too complex.
This kind of complexity is not full of cracks, there are large holes and forks in the terrain that rely on dense patterns to make people get lost, in fact, here at a glance, the surrounding is very empty, ridges are ridges, valleys are valleys, at first glance it is ordinary.
But only when you really walk up will you know how painful this road is.
It's full of illusions of demonic energy. Often a flat road, in real circumstances, there may be a canyon hidden in the middle, what seems to be a ridge, but it is a deep pit, in short, what you see. It is completely inconsistent with what has actually been walked.
In this case, everyone must be careful and use their spiritual sense to sense the trap, otherwise they will really fall into the pit if they are not careful.
Not to mention the monsters that are hiding, and often attack when you feel safest at most.
Once or twice, it can be bearable, and it will take a long time. It's no wonder if it doesn't collapse.
By the end of the second day's journey, they had barely traveled more than a thousand miles, and a dozen of them were wounded.
It's all the result of a map, and God knows how bad it would have been without it.
When the sky darkens, everyone has to get together again and wait for the dawn to continue on the road, and this is the time. In the darkness in the distance, strange and strange cries were constantly heard. And you can see black shadows scurrying around, like excited monkeys, cheering for the arrival of the night.
"It's a shadow demon, a type of monster, formless and incorporeal, and likes to act at night. They don't have a lot of attack power, or they don't have them at all, but what they do best is give you terrible scare, and sometimes they even burrow into your sleep if you can't kill them in your dreams. You will be trapped in a terrible nightmare forever, you will not wake up, and in the end, when you die, you will also become one of the Shadow Fiends, oh, and repeat to those friends of you, the reason why demonic energy is misunderstood and unanimously canonized as the most terrible thing is that things that are corrupted by demonic energy tend to undergo unimaginable mutations. ”
Luo Yunrong was still sending her 'message' to Duan Heng, she seemed to really like this version of QQ in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is estimated that no one would have imagined that at this moment, the guy who was sitting alone dozens of meters away and keeping his cold was secretly so extraordinary.
Fortunately, Duan Heng got used to it, and explained the information of this shadow demon to Wu Yan and the others, they are all masters against demon beasts, but they are still inexperienced against monsters.
However, the result of this is that Wu Yan's pair of triangular eyes always look at Duan Heng.
"So, if you can't sleep, it's better not to sleep, of course, if your spiritual sense is strong enough, then I didn't say anything, oh, I almost forgot, everyone had better prepare a few burning woods, and light them when necessary, because sometimes, if you're unlucky, you'll encounter that kind of very strong shadow demon, which will forcibly pull you into a nightmare, therefore, every half an hour, everyone has to say hello to each other, in case of a plot, if someone is really pulled into a nightmare by the shadow demon, remember not to be nervous, just watch him, wait for tomorrow after dawn, and then deal with it, under normal circumstances, it can't kill people, at most it's a little side effect。 ”
Luo Yunrong's encyclopedia propaganda was not bad, and when Duan Heng finished retelling it word for word, he let more than a dozen ordinary guards who were familiar with Wu Yan and them come over.
And that Qin Feng and Liu Jing also sent people to warn about the shadow demon, and at the same time ordered to light four piles of burning wood in the four directions of the camp, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the raging fire could burn until dawn, illuminating the vicinity for thousands of kilometers as if it were day.
There was no other defense, and there was not even a vigilant night watchman, but there was no need for Duan Heng to ask about this, Luo Yunrong's encyclopedia information had already been sent.
"Don't worry about other monsters this night, this will be the world of shadow demons, because this thing is the same for other monsters, they will assimilate any living thing, make it fall into a nightmare, and never wake up, so, remember to call me once in half an hour, whew, it feels good to have someone to protect you. ”
"Forget it, I'll think about it carefully, I'll take it back from the last sentence, because it doesn't make sense, and it should be replaced by you. ”
――
Duan Heng was already accustomed to Luo Yunrong's comic attributes, so Quan Dang didn't see it, he just found a place to sit cross-legged and close his eyes to recuperate, but at the same time, his spiritual sense was slowly wandering around, enveloping Wu Yan and the others together, no way, if it was about the strength of the spiritual sense, they were not enough to see, as for Luo Yunrong, her spiritual sense was not weaker than Duan Heng, so there was no need to care.
In this way, Wan Lai was silent, and when half an hour passed, Duan Heng opened his eyes, he was going to see Wu Yan and them, after all, he still had to be prepared.
But in the next second, Duan Heng was almost shocked into a cold sweat, because he suddenly found that there was nothing around him, and everyone disappeared, except for the four huge fires in the south, east, and west.
"What's going on? Shadow Fiend invasion, or- I've been dragged into a nightmare by Shadow Fiend?"
This thought quickly flashed through Duan Heng's heart, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, he had been using his spiritual sense to lock on to Wu Yan and the others before, but almost as soon as he opened his eyes, all the clues disappeared and were interrupted.
It stands to reason that this is impossible!
He has been tricked by such a powerful spiritual sense, how powerful is this Shadow Demon?
Patiently waited in place for a long time, Duan Heng didn't see or sense anything terrible to happen, everything was extremely real, except for not seeing anyone else, isn't this a shadow demon?
Duan Heng couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, but the next moment he immediately came to his senses and yelled outside: "Su Xiaomei, I know it's you, show up!"
It's still quiet.
But Duan Heng became more and more determined, "I guessed correctly, who else but you can use the Shadow Demon to pull me into this nightmare?
It's just that halfway through what he said, he suddenly stopped and realized. (To be continued.) )
