"Woooo..."
In the middle of the night, there were no stars or moon, and the sky was gloomy, heavy, dull, and full of ominous atmosphere.
Suddenly, a blast of desolate horns sounded through Junshan Village, startling the villagers who were not sleeping peacefully. Wisps of weak candlelight floated out from thousands of households, but they could not dispel the coldness of the night.
"come yet?"
In the darkness, Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes. He stood up, folded the strange scriptures on the table, stuffed them into his arms, took a long knife, opened the door, and walked out.
When we came to the city tower, we saw that it was crowded with people. Everyone in the patrol team was holding bows and arrows and looking nervously outside the village.
"What's coming?" Ye Qing walked to Ma Shiyuan and asked in a low voice.
Ma Shiyuan swallowed and said nervously: "Weird people with human skins, there are so many weird people with human skins!"
Ye Qing poked his head from the top of the city tower and looked out of the village. He saw that in the fields outside the village, there were strange human-skinned monsters everywhere, and it was so dark that there were no fewer than thousands of them.
Those human-skinned monsters stood there, motionless, silent, and deathly silent. The breeze passed by, and the human-skinned monsters swayed with the wind, like a black wave of wheat, which was indescribably eerie and weird.
"Woooo..."
A gust of wind blew by, and the human-skinned monsters outside the village began to flow towards Junshan Village, like a black tide, as if they had received an order.
"Prepare the fire oil..." Looking at the swarm of human-skin monsters, Lin Hu looked gloomy and roared. When the human-skin monsters rushed to the city, he immediately waved his hand: "Down!"
Black fire oil poured down, and the human-skinned monsters that were climbing crazily to attack the city wall instantly slipped down and huddled with the human-skinned monsters below.
"The rockets are ready... to be released..." The rockets shot down, landed on the human-skinned monster, ignited the kerosene, and the raging flames spread instantly, turning into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
In the sea of fire, the human-skinned monsters were burning with fire all over their bodies, but they still rushed towards the city wall, fearless of death. Although they were burned to ashes after just a few steps, the human-skinned monsters were endless, one after another, in short order. In just a few breaths, the fire was extinguished and he climbed up the tower.
"The boulders are ready...thrown..." Lin Hu remained unhurried, asking the archers to retreat, and instructing others to lift the prepared boulders, logs, etc., and throw them down the city to prevent the human-skinned monsters from ascending the city.
Boulders and logs rained down, smashing large pieces of human-skinned monsters into pieces.
However, Junshan Village is not a big city after all, so the city wall is not high, only about two feet. Although the human-skinned monster is fragile, it is extremely powerful and can jump several meters. When the patrol team is slightly exhausted, the offensive is weak. When they came down, several monsters with human skin rushed up to the tower. Several patrol members were not prepared for the moment, and their heads were smashed, and their brains splattered.
What's even more terrifying is that after those people died, a ray of black energy penetrated into their bodies, and then the human skin on their bodies was peeled off, turning into a new human-skinned monster that killed others.
Some people were suddenly killed by these new human-skinned monsters without paying much attention.
For a time, there were screams on the tower and the crowd was in panic.
"Don't panic, work in groups of three and kill the human-skinned monsters!" Lin Hu chopped the two human-skinned monsters that rushed towards him into pieces with one knife, and commanded loudly: "Also, be careful of the dead people on the ground, they will also become Human skin is weird!”
According to the patrol formation, the patrol members quickly formed a team and killed the human-skinned monsters that rushed up to the tower.
As for Ye Qing, he was usually alone without any team members. In addition, relying on his own strength, he did not form a team with others, but just killed the human-skinned monsters by himself.
Last night, he refined two silver dragon and snake runes in a row, directly pushing his realm from the early stage of Qi condensation to the stage of dense fog and clouds in the middle stage of Qi condensation. The quantity and strength of Qi have been greatly improved. Even though there is only one person, but The speed at which he killed the human-skinned monsters was no slower than that of the other teams.
If he hadn't hid his clumsiness and not tried his best to avoid arousing suspicion from others, his speed would have been even faster.
The light of the sword flashed, pouring down like water. In one step, a group of human-skinned monsters fell down. In the moment of the sword, human-skinned heads rose into the sky. Wherever it passed, all the human-skinned monsters fell. , there is no single enemy.
With a knife in hand, all the monsters with human skin will surrender!
Suddenly, Ye Qing's eyes narrowed, his steps were as fast as lightning, and he approached a team of three people who were in danger. With a sweep of his sword, he roared loudly, and instantly killed all the weirdos.
"Thank you!" thanked the rescued team leader.
"You're welcome, please be careful." After rescuing the three of them, Ye Qing didn't look back and continued to kill a team that was retreating steadily.
"Hey, isn't that a boy from the old Ye family? When did he become so powerful?" One of the team members asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Another person agreed.
"You're almost dead. You still have time to care about this. Be careful, the monster with human skin is here again!"
"kill……"
Ye Qing didn't know or care about the conversation between several people. Instead, he kept killing the monsters rushing towards him and saving the villagers and companions who were in danger.
Even so, it was only a drop in the bucket. Patrol members continued to die, and those who died turned into human-skinned monsters again. Under this ebb and flow, the number of people on the tower continued to decrease, while the human-skinned monsters became more and more numerous. many.
"There are too many human-skin monsters. We can't kill them all!" Lin Hu wiped the blood from his face. His head was hit by the human-skin monster. His skull was cracked and bloody. He was seriously injured, but He didn't have time to heal his wounds and continued to kill the human-skinned monster in front of him: "It would be great if there was a survey mirror!"
One strike from the Sky Survey Mirror is enough to kill all the human-skinned monsters here. It's a pity that the power of the survey mirror has not been restored yet!
Granny Xia waved her sleeves and shattered several human-skinned monsters. She said seriously: "We can't kill all the human-skinned monsters. If this continues, we will die sooner or later!"
"What should we do?" Lin Hu shook his head, feeling dizzy.
"For today's plan, we can only try to find out the monster behind the human-skin monster and kill it, so that we can survive." Granny Xia's cloudy eyes flashed with a chill: "Huzi, you Follow me down to the city and see if you can find the thing controlling these weird human-skinned monsters and kill it."
"Okay!" Lin Hu didn't hesitate at all, even though he knew that if he went there, he would be surrounded by strange human-skinned monsters and would have a narrow escape from death. The chance of survival was very small.
But for the tens of thousands of people in Junshan Village and the innocent lives behind him, he is willing to fight or even die!
"Chen Zheng, after Huzi and I leave, you must guard the village. If...if it doesn't work, you can lead the villagers out of the passage. How long can you live?" Granny Xia said in a heavy and sad tone, as if A gift before death.
In other words, it's not as if, but it is.
She knew clearly that if she rushed down like this, the chance of finding the strange thing controlling the human skin was very small, and the chance of them surviving was even smaller, or they would die in vain, but she had to go, and she had to fight for this chance.
Because they don’t fight or fight, they don’t even have a chance!
"Huzi, let's go!" Grandma Xia waved her hand and jumped down from the sky. She was in mid-air, her sleeves and robes were floating, and countless yellow paper talismans flew out from her sleeves. When the wind caught the wind, the talismans spontaneously ignited and turned into raging flames, covering the sky and the ground, densely packed. A large area of the strange human skin was cleared away in an instant.
Then, Granny Xia waved her crutch, and ripples appeared on the black crutch. Flames rolled and roared all over the sky. A loud phoenix cry sounded from the flames, and then a huge phoenix rose from the fire and flew forward. , wherever he passed, human-skinned monsters turned into ashes.
Grandma Xia held her crutches and followed Huo Feng, continuing to walk out of the village.
Lin Hu was guarding behind Granny Xia. Any monster that rushed up would be chopped into pieces by him.
Lin Hu also practiced the "Five Tigers Broken Door Sword", but this simplest sword technique seemed extremely exquisite in his hands. The light of the sword flew like the Milky Way pouring down. In the Milky Way, tigers roared endlessly. All the human-skinned monsters that came within three feet of him were silently shattered.
The two people, like the black tide, moved forward slowly, step by step, extremely difficult, but also extremely determined, never stopping, and after a while, they disappeared from people's sight, with only the occasional person in the distance. The roaring and roaring sounds proved that they were still alive.
At this moment, everyone on the tower was silent, silently watching the two people and the direction in which they disappeared, with admiration, sadness, and silence.
"What are you doing standing still? The human-skin monster is charging up again. Kill it!" Suddenly, Chen Zheng yelled and ordered people to kill the human-skin monster that rushed up the tower.
"I hope you can live!" Looking at the direction in which the two disappeared, Ye Qing sighed slightly, admiring the actions of Granny Xia and Lin Hu in his heart. He thought that if this matter was placed on him, he would never go. He came from another world and had no particularly deep feelings for Junshan Village. Those villagers were just familiar strangers.
Therefore, he cannot do it; nor can he sacrifice his life for others.
He admired such a person, but he did not want to be such a person.
At least, not now!
"Captain Chen, Captain Chen, it's bad, the village gate is about to be broken down and can't be defended!" While he was deep in thought, an urgent voice sounded, and a man rushed up to the tower and said urgently.
Although the gate of Junshan Village is made of hard iron wood, it is just wood after all. Under the impact of the strange human skin, it is already full of cracks and is about to break.
"Damn it, there aren't many people on the tower!" Chen Zheng looked around and found that there were only a dozen or so people left on the tower. Once he sent people down, the defensive power of the tower would become extremely empty. And he himself will become very dangerous.
"What should we do?" Suddenly, Chen Zheng caught a glimpse of Ye Qing who was killing the monsters from the corner of his eye, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Ye Qing, Ma Shiyuan, Zhang Yuan, you three teams are going to guard the city gate. If the monsters rush in, When you enter the village, you are the only one I ask!"
"Captain Chen, how come there are so few people..." Ma Shiyuan said anxiously. He said there were three teams, but Ye Qing only had one person, and he was the only one who died in his team. However, there were two people left in Zhang Yuan's team. But there are only four people in total, how can they guard the city gate?
Doesn't this mean they are going to die?
"Obey the order. The remaining people must guard the city tower. If there is no room for action, you go quickly. If the village gate is broken down and monsters rush into the village, the consequences will be disastrous!" Chen Zhengyi said seriously.
"This..." Ma Shiyuan and Zhang Yuan looked at each other.
"Go quickly, do you want to disobey the order?" Chen Zheng's expression changed and he said sternly.
"Yes!" Ma Shiyuan and Zhang Yuan had no choice but to accept the order and left, looking generous and willing to die.
Ye Qing raised the corner of his mouth, said nothing, jumped off the tower and walked towards the door.
