77, chapter seventy seven
When the first warning array is triggered, it is the time when the first and second shifts are on night shifts.
Louis and Emmy were speechless for an entire hour and a half, and the fighting instructors Michelle and Gal came out to change their class.
Amy felt that his hair was blown up at that time - less than ten meters away from their camp, more than a dozen difu were pinching into a ball. The unique screams of the dark elves resounded throughout the night sky, and the huge fangs of the abyss jackal were pierced through the throat. The two black fish surrounded each other, each pulling half of the dark elves' bodies. Under the gaze of the hunters, they tore the dark elves' bodies in half.
All the internal organs were everywhere, and a heart was thrown to the edge of the realm magic array. The circle of magic arrays around the camp lit up one after another, illuminating the camp with brilliant lights.
Gal and Louis drew their respective weapons at the same time.
Michelle, who was in the same group of Gal, had her face turned green. She covered her mouth tightly, looking like she was about to vomit. Louis remained calm, leaning against the edge of the tent without saying a word, staring at the killing of these dark creatures through the gas fire, his hands holding the knife were almost spasming.
Emmy immediately took out a small bottle of anti-emetic medicine from her pocket and stuffed it to Michelle, lowering her voice: "Eat one can temporarily numb your sense of smell, don't vomit it out, don't disturb them."
But the effect of the warning array was so blinding that everyone in the tent was alarmed. Although Carlos said carelessly that nothing happened at night, normal people would still crawl out of the tent with concern when they heard this movement, but they would crawl out of the tent to check, and then crawl out... and never get in again.
Anyone who saw the high-level difu melee all over the mountains and smelled the smell of fishy corpses, probably not that strong nerve could crawl back and have a sleep...well, except Carlos.
Carlos slept with his heavy sword pillowing as if nothing had happened, but was dragged out of the tent by the incoherent Evan: "Kakakakakakakaka! Outside, there are a lot of people outside..."
"Are you a big group of zombies?" Carlos yawned.
The stimulating stuttering Evan spoke smoothly, holding his collar and shouting at his ear: "There is a strong row of abyss jackals outside! The ground is full of shadow demons, and there are a bunch of drummers in the distance who are pounding lunch boxes and planning to rob the canteen! Can you still fall asleep? Are you still yawning? Are you still dreaming of playing games?!"
Carlos rubbed his eyes and patted Evan's shoulder: "Hey, calm down, calm down."
Is it okay if I can't calm down?
Evan asked in a crying voice: "Are you sure we can see the sun tomorrow?"
Carlos advises: "If you think you are uncertain, you can go and have a full meal now and wait to get on the road."
After saying that, he took a few steps back, stretched his waist and sat on the ground beside the tent. His relaxed appearance made people feel a bit illusion - as if they were not there, all this was just a prank created by technical stage and hallucination magic arrays, just like in the auditorium that day.
He originally wanted everyone to not break so tightly through their own relaxation. After all, it was not time to face a great enemy. Unfortunately, it was because of his personal temperament that Carlos's calmness did not make others feel better, but instead made them feel a little painful roar in their hearts at the same time - is this guy reliable? Help!
Fortunately, Aldo walked out of his tent in neat clothes, raised his eyes and glanced around the battle situation outside the magic circle, raised his palm and made a pressing action, and said in a very light but sure tone: "Now I hope that everyone who is not on the night mission will go back and rest. Don't worry, if Di Fu accidentally breaks through, the serial warning magic circle can block the demon level for at least fifteen minutes. I believe this is enough to attract another demon level to kill it."
Carlos supported his hands behind his head, and then he said: "Behind us is the realm of the dark elves, in front of us are the territory of the seven demon-level areas, and next to them are the places where black fish and other small groups of Judifu live. Jueying Mountain has not been able to come up for many years. They have been relying on other similar species for food and have been hungry for a long time. Now, as a piece of big fat meat at the junction, of course we have to compete for ownership before we can enjoy it - I bet they can't solve this problem overnight, what do you think?"
Aldo touched his hair: "I won't bet with you."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the tent, as if he appeared just to flirt with him!
Louis and the others finally understood what Carlos's saying "The most dangerous place is the safest place" means.
At this moment, a roar came from a distance, and a shadow as high as at least five or six floors "walked" over. Every time it took it, the ground trembled, like a troll in ancient legend, covered with abscesses. As it walked, it dripped down and fell onto the plants, causing them to die quickly.
Its head was covered with huge eyes, and its limbs were covered with barbs like thorns. When it raised its neck, it would open its face and mouth, and let out sharp howls at the sky, as if the ghosts of hell were attracted to it, and people thousands of miles away could smell the smell of rottenness.
Wherever it walks, thick black fog will roll out.
"What is that?" someone asked in amazement.
Carlos jumped up from the ground: "Heaven is an evil spirit man!
The legendary evil spirit man, the head of the seven demons, some say that it is a monster condensed by the resentment of all humans and animals. The place it walks through cannot survive even a bug. Some say that it is the incarnation of the plague. When it swept across the continent, it will turn countless villages and city-states into empty cemeteries.
"I thought..." Louis opened his mouth with difficulty, "I thought the evil spirit man was just a legend."
"Where is your camera?" Carlos turned to Gal. Before Gal, who had been stuck in his brain, he slapped his thigh regretfully, "Oh, by the way, that thing failed, I forgot! Hell, I have only seen two evil spirits in my life, and this is the third one."
Gal: “…”
Do you still want to visit it every day and communicate your feelings or something?
All the Difu in the battle circle became nervous, and even humans outside the battle circle could feel the depressing and urgent atmosphere. They suddenly understood a sentence in the horror story they heard when they were young - "The place where the evil spirits walked is hell."
Its figure seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun, and even the clear night sky of Jueying Mountain became turbid, and no stars scattered like broken gems could be seen.
Suddenly, the abyss jackal standing at the highest point whistled to the sky, and the sense of oppression of the "world" familiar to hunters came. Each abyss jackal became what Carlos and Evan had once seen, growing into a monster in his own world that could swallow a person with one mouth.
The scene became more and more chaotic. The shadow demon with antlers on the ground began to expand. The place covered with shadows turned into a scorching swamp. The dark elves spread their dark wings, and the black fish opened their ugly big mouths and roared angrily. Countless drummers waved their skeleton-like bodies, gathered above the hills, with dark red light flashing in their eyes.
Then the first abyss jackal suddenly pounced on the giant monster, as if it triggered some signal, followed by the second and third... They were densely wrapped into the realm of the evil spirit man and quickly merged together, making it impossible for people to see each other.
The deafening roar made the entire Jueying Mountain tremble. Di Fu's white bones and flesh fell from the air like raindrops. Soon, outside the magic circle, a thick layer of corpses had been formed, and even the ground could not be seen.
In this situation, almost all hunters have an illusion that they are prey that are being snatched, kept in captivity, ready to be eaten at any time.
The smile on Carlos's face disappeared, and the jumping fire reflected on his face, outlining his handsome facial features like a knife. Gal suddenly grabbed his wrist, and the strength was so great that he was about to pinch it into his bones through his flesh.
Carlos thought he was just afraid and didn't react, and said softly in a noise: "This makes me feel like...going back to the past."
Gal turned his head, and the expression on his face was so complicated that Carlos, a single-celled creature, could not tell at all what he wanted to express, but simply attributed it to "shock and fear".
Carlos then smiled comfortably, raised his eyes to see the evil spirit man whose head was torn halfway, hanging in the air, with countless human faces rising and falling, and said quietly: "The world without barriers is like this. In the past, those were the enemies we face every day - of course, evil spirit man is very rare. I was only lucky to see this person twice in the battle between the deep sea Mermaid Bay and the last Black Robe... It was as smelly as ever."
"Why didn't I be born in that era?" Gal wanted to say something, but his throat was stuck, "Karl, I..."
Carlos skillfully broke free from him, and gently rubbed his hair as if he was treating a child: "Do you know what we want to see most?"
Gal stared at him blankly.
Carlos sat down, reached out his hand, spread it onto the fire and roasted it, as if he was just sitting next to his fireplace, saying in the tragic background music: "The so-called 'hero' stories are actually very fake. Instead of walking on the edge of life and death with a sword every day, getting someone else's evaluation of "ups and downs in life, or a few flowers and praises, I actually prefer to lie on the sofa and watch a movie about Christmas."
Because every legend is piled up with blood.
People living in peace always yearn for the kind of glory that is as good as making achievements, but glory is sometimes a helpless word.
"I was dreaming at that time, would there be a child named Flaret in the future who would live in a world without Defu every day, writing books or teaching languages for a living?" Carlos bent his eyes and smiled. "When I saw you, I almost thought my dream had come true - I bought all the pictures you wrote, and I had to say they were amazing."
"But aren't you afraid?" Gal asked quietly, carefully hiding the tremor in his voice.
Aren't you human? Aren't you as young and ignorant as me, full of unwillingness to your own weakness, and spend a lot of energy on an impossible person every day? Are there anyone you can rely on and count on him to save you at the most dangerous time?
"If I'm afraid," Carlos's eyes shone through the fire, and all the fierce fighting and ugly monsters reflected in the green eyes of the pool. "What should those who are not as strong as me do? The temple is called the 'last guard', do you know what that means?"
Gal shook his head gently - he thought he knew, but now he is suddenly uncertain.
"That means we cannot retreat." Carlos said in an almost gentle tone, "no matter whether it is death or life, whether it is broken an arm or two legs - even if it is dead on the battlefield and becomes a ghost, it cannot retreat."
Gal held his breath.
At that moment, he felt that he was so far away from Carlos, but so close. The flames plated a thin layer of gold on the long-haired man's body, softening his lines, making him look like an elf walking out of a treasure box that had been passed down for thousands of years.
"Go and rest." Carlos said, "I'm guarding this group for you-I didn't expect that I could even attract an evil spirit man. Use your thorn of dawn. Chuck and I will be proud of you."
"Chuck?" Gal asked softly.
"My brother." Carlos picked up his heavy sword and stood up, smiled at Gal, showing a little nostalgic expression, "You really look like him."
