The sky gradually darkened, and the castle was located on the edge of the sparse woods. Looking into the distance, you can see that the moon has slowly risen from the horizon, and the villages that could vaguely see some shadows during the day have disappeared into the night, and there is silence around them.

"There is indeed a problem here," said the trainee Ranger. "This season, the wilderness should not be so quiet."

"The monsters of the undead will emit negative energy, and no creature likes it. Except for the very few mutated monsters in the Ashes Forest in the northwest, even ordinary monsters will deliberately avoid the influence of negative energy." The intern priest was still very clear about these things, "It's just... when we came here during the day, there were obviously many wild beasts here."

"Yes, I was planning to grab two to barbecue at night." The trainee Ranger couldn't help but sigh, "Now I have to eat dry food."

"It is probably during the day, the negative energy is suppressed by the sun." The intern pastor guessed, "When entering the night, the negative energy will be strengthened. Therefore, it is said that in the Ashes Forest, there are often a large number of necromancers appearing at night, which is extremely dangerous."

"Nether? If it's a skeleton or something, there's nothing scary." The thick and bold trainee warrior laughed, "It's just to find a thick wooden stick, and you'll be done with one stick."

"One or two skeletons are not scary, even ordinary farmers can deal with it." Yuyi smiled slightly and said, "But it is said that the skeletons in the Ashes Forest either do not appear. If they want to appear, they are at least in units of 'hundred'. Every night on the Shishuo, there may even be tens of thousands of skeletons. Do you think you can beat hundreds of skeletons?"

The trainee warrior shook his head without thinking.

Of course, there are heroes in the world who can beat hundreds of skeletons, but he is definitely not on this list. Not to mention hundreds, dealing with ten or eight skeletons at a time is enough to kill him.

After all, although the skeleton is not strong in single force, its success is that it is not afraid of pain or death. Once the number is large, the threat will immediately rise sharply.

Not to mention anything else, once you are held by five or six skeletons, unless you are a hero born with divine power, no matter how good your kung fu is, you will never be able to use it, and you will be suspicious of death.

He was barely skilled in martial arts. If he showed all his skills, he might have driven a dozen farmers to escape in a panic, but when facing more than a dozen skeletons, the one who escaped would be replaced by himself.

"What's strange is, why can't I feel the negative energy?" The trainee pastor sensed it carefully for a while and said in wonder, "I can't feel it at all."

"You can probably feel it when you walk out of this magic circle." Yuyi said lightly, "but that also means you may be attacked by evil spirits."

The intern pastor shrank his head: "I don't want to take that kind of risk. If I don't feel it, I won't feel it."

Everyone smiled kindly. For them, the rookie adventurers, safety is the first priority. Anyone who does not respect this rule will die in one adventure and will not have the chance to enjoy a bright future.

"Okay, it's late, everyone eat some dry food and go to bed early. The three of us take turns to watch the night." After laughing, the apprentice knight began to arrange the work of the night watch.

When taking risks, vigilance is an indispensable and important task. Nighttime is the time when most monsters are active. If you are not arranged to vigilance, once you are attacked by monsters, you may be confused and you will be killed.

There is a routine among adventurers that casters do not watch at night. This is not only to take care of casters who are relatively weak and need sufficient rest, but also to ensure that they will not affect their daytime state due to lack of sleep and reduce the success rate of casting.

Adequate sleep can help casters recover their magic better and keep them in a good mental state. Unless there are so many casters in the team that they don’t have to care about such trivial matters, everyone will abide by the rule of “spray casters do not watch the night”.

In other words, if anyone sees a certain adventurer team that actually lets the caster go to the vigil, then they are most likely rookies!

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, some priests who believe in the God of Night or the God of Shadow, or necromancers, etc.... Night is their home court, and they will be depressed during the day.

However, this type of spell caster will definitely not act with ordinary adventurers, so strictly speaking, it is not a real exception.

Naturally, neither Yui nor the intern pastor was an exception. Both of them needed sufficient rest to ensure that they had abundant magic and good condition tomorrow. But unlike Yui, who had a very comfortable sleep, the intern pastor obviously couldn't sleep well. He tossed and turned at night and woke up several times.

More than once, he clearly felt an evil power peeking at him, so he woke up in his sleep, but looked around and saw nothing. Not long after he fell asleep in a daze, he felt the evil power peeking at him again, so he was awakened again... After repeating this several times, he couldn't sleep well that night, and the next morning he was depressed and obviously in poor condition.

The companions naturally noticed his situation and asked with concern, but when he told him about the incident of several awakenings at night, the three people watching were confused.

Not to mention warriors and knights with relatively weak perception abilities, even rangers with better perception abilities did not feel any evil gaze.

"Stop thinking about it, this is a common method used by the evil spirit." After a good sleep, Yuyi sighed and said, "It is a spy spell that spellcaster is his enemy, so he tries every means to disturb your spirit - this may be a good thing, because it proves from the side that the evil spirit is not very strong, otherwise, it would not need to use this method."

After analyzing this, everyone felt much more at ease. The curious warrior thought of another thing and asked: "What about you? You are also a spellcaster."

Yuyi smiled and said, "It is probably the limit that it just disturbs a person's mind. No matter what, compared to me, the priest, it must be a greater threat to it."

Of course she was telling lies. Although she was using the body of the trainee mage, the soul in her body was a genius young mage and the child of two legendary powerful men. According to some scholars, the person of her soul was innately higher than that of ordinary people. The evil spirit also tried to attack her at night, but not only failed to disturb her spirit, but was backfired and seriously injured.

But these naturally cannot explain to their companions that the evil spirit is damaged and its strength will definitely decline. Although her previous analysis was wrong, at least the result was correct.

In contrast, she was a little curious about another thing.

On this night, she clearly felt a kind soul watching herself, conveying friendly news, and seemed to want to tell herself something. Unfortunately, she is a mage rather than a priest after all, and soul communication is not her strength, so it is a pity that she failed to hear it clearly.

"How many days are there enough dry food for us?" asked the captain.

The Ranger, who is responsible for managing the logistics, took a look and replied: "If you save a little, you can eat for three days. If you are normal, you will have to hunt after lunch tomorrow."

"Then take a break this morning," said the captain, "the priest must be given sufficient rest, and we cannot take risks."

No one had any objections to this, and the Ranger even said that he could take advantage of this morning to go hunting and catch a few rabbits for lunch.

So they ate roasted rabbits and a little dry food for lunch.

The barbecue skills of the rookie adventurers are not very good, but at least they are cooked. Yui is not satisfied with the food, but at least he is still full.

She was not idle this morning. While checking the purification array, she made some temporary props - using some temporarily collected materials, and using almost all the gem reserves of the trainee mage. She made several pendants with poor skills, stringed them with thin ropes, and gave each of her companions one.

"Mental protection pendant," she said, "It is better to slightly improve your ability to defend against mental attacks than not."

The companions were happy to wear the pendant, although Yui knew it wouldn't help much.

The depiction of the mental protection array is correct, and the matching of materials is strictly followed by the rules. The problem is that the materials are too low-level, and she does not have enough magic to soak these materials to improve their effect.

This method, called "enchantment", has a rigid requirement for the magic strength of the caster. The trainee mage has only so much magic power. Considering that she may have to fight in the afternoon or evening, she can only extract this magic power.

If she can still be safe tonight, she can process these pendants again tomorrow morning to improve their effect. Although it can't improve much, at least it won't waste those gems.

Yuyi thought so, preparing the scroll and wand to be used at any time, and then hung two daggers cut from locust wood around his waist.

This pair of daggers was made by the knight this morning at her request. Sophora is a kind of wood that can blend well with negative energy. Using it as a lead, this pair of swords may also be used to harm evil spirits.

Of course, there is another introduction. If it is not necessary, she wouldn't want to use that.

Even if it was just a game, Yui never intended to take his life on the risk.

But if it is really necessary, she will not hesitate.

In the battle, the most undesirable emotion is hesitation. No matter what kind of choice is, it is better than not to choose.

After lunch, the pastor finally got his rest and recovered his spirits.

So the group formed the camp that was most suitable for combat and stepped into the castle again.

This time, they were much more serious and nervous than yesterday.

Sui Xiong watched all this in the sky and couldn't help but smile.

"Yuyi, this kid... seems to be very capable of being a commander..."
