Chapter 416: Splashing blood on a rainy night (5k)
…
About a few hours ago, another world.
July 3, 2004, on the outskirts of a small coastal town, on the No. 10 elevated road.
Leaning against a pillar of the viaduct, Shi Yiguang looked down at the thatch mat on the ground that was quickly getting wet with some distress, then turned to look at the continuous rain curtain not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.
She had just woken up from a century-long dream and found herself in a new dream. She quickly began to adapt to the environment here, observing and collecting various information.
As we all know, in a strange and lawless place, beauty is more likely to bring danger. Therefore, Shi Yiguang immediately put on a certain disguise and sneaked around to look around. He quickly confirmed that there was something quite special here.
developed human society.
Logically speaking, although most of the memory of the last long dream has faded, she can still quickly integrate into the local society by relying on her past training and preparation, and use some small means of the exercises she has learned to solve these problems.
.
But in fact, Shi Yiguang encountered an unexpected obstacle: a language barrier and an inability to communicate.
After thousands of years of changes, the differences between modern Mandarin and pre-Qin dialect have become astonishing. Only a few vocabulary words match up. The difference between simplified characters and bird seal script is also difficult to find the corresponding characters, and it takes a long time.
adapt.
When she confidently approached the first old man who seemed to be in a hurry but was quite enthusiastic according to the script, the two parties used their hands and feet together like ducks for a long time, and the more they "chatted", the more awkward they became.
, so that the old man looked like he wanted to call the police and ask if any female idiot had run away from home.
Knowing that learning the local dialect would take a long time in secret, and being shocked by the productivity and strange and wonderful lifestyle here, Shi Yiguang quickly made the decision to hide in the suburbs for the time being.
This viaduct, which was erected in the wilderness outside the city and was enough to protect her from wind and rain, was not only the place where she first fell asleep, but also the temporary residence she chose: she collected some wood and gradually built a small wooden house based on solid stone pillars.
.
The viaduct deck is more than ten meters wide, and the foundations of the bridge piers are higher than the surrounding areas. In theory, unless it encounters a very rare heavy rainstorm, it should not be much affected, and it can barely allow people to live safely.
As for food, catching some fish and shrimps by the nearby water, as well as hunting some small animals such as voles and hares, is not a problem.
With this idea in mind, Shi Yiguang stayed here for two or three days while inquiring about information. Shi Yiguang discovered that his luck had been really bad recently.
This afternoon, it was still a sunny day, but in the blink of an eye, lead-colored clouds had pushed in from the southeast, the sky quickly turned dark, followed by a thunderstorm, and there was a downpour that was rare to see in several years.
heavy rain.
It didn't take long for the overly humid water vapor to soak into her carefully woven thatched sleeping mat, the firewood piled on the earth platform, and even the goose-yellow clothes woven from silk on her body were covered with tiny drops of water.
The color becomes darker due to reflection.
Through the rain curtain at the edge of the viaduct, I looked further into the distance. About fifty meters away, I couldn't see clearly in the vast expanse of white. The raindrops were so dense that they seemed to smash into each other in the air, and they were all covered in water droplets when they hit the ground.
The sky was dark, and lightning occasionally illuminated the scaly dark clouds, as if there was a giant dragon crossing there.
The elevated road above the head extends straight into the distance, like a huge spear thrown by the gods, quietly cutting off the world inside and outside.
The whole world is filled with the sound of wind, rain and swaying trees.
At a certain moment that Shi Yiguang failed to notice, on the edge of the city more than ten miles away, there was a road sign covered by willow branches. The words "Highway 10" on it were slightly distorted, and then turned into "0" that should not exist in theory.
"Highway".
Then, in the next moment, her heart was beating fast, and her whole body seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation. She stared nervously at the distant wilderness, trying to concentrate and amplify her vision and hearing.
For some reason, there was a very strange silence between heaven and earth. Shi Yiguang could still hear the sound of wind and rain and his own heartbeat, but the background sound of the world suddenly disappeared. It was no longer noisy, and it was so quiet that it seemed to last forever.
The endless night.
So, after she quickly noticed this change, she felt an extremely strong sense of being out of place. She couldn't help but become wary and suspected that she had fallen into some kind of dangerous situation.
In Shi Yiguang's senses, something terrible was coming, carrying an extremely strong aura of death, approaching even more, causing the heaven and earth to vaguely change color.
The area around the No. 10 Elevated Road is surrounded by large areas of abandoned farmland, and further away are rapeseed fields that have long been harvested. The owners of some of the fields took advantage of their free time to plant a few more green onions.
However, at this moment, she found that within her field of vision, the vegetation began to wither quickly, turning from green to gray-yellow, and then to deathly black!
A certain strong man in the "Six Qi" realm in this world has opened up a field related to death, covering an area of at least dozens of miles? If you want to target a little guy like me with a shallow cultivation level, it shouldn't be necessary.
Isn’t it such a big effort?
This sudden heavy rain, which seems to be abnormal in the movement of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is actually the result of this person mobilizing and gathering a large amount of vitality? Or is it the cover required by the other party to prevent the abnormal phenomena of heaven and earth from being exposed?
Thinking that in the past few days, only two or three new practitioners have been found in densely populated urban areas, it was estimated that there should be very few powerful beings of this level in this world. Shi Yiguang couldn't help but secretly sigh that it was unlucky, how could he encounter this?
to avoid such an unnecessary disaster.
What's really bad is that, whether it's because she can't adapt to the environment here, or for other reasons, the several protective magic weapons she carries with her can't be activated normally. Only silk clothes, mysterious jade hairpins and other clothing items can be activated.
For use, this is extremely dangerous.
Silently retreating to the cabin, she picked up a few simple weapons that she had collected materials nearby during this period. The girl looked at the viaduct that had inexplicably curved into a ribbon shape, took a deep breath, and forced her mind back to calm.
, and prepared for battle.
Because on the high slope in the distance and in the nearby water, twisted black shadows that seemed to be between reality and illusion suddenly stood up. At first, they looked like human-shaped ink marks, but gradually
As time goes by, it gradually condenses into a real entity.
These shadow-like monsters wear dark cloaks, carry rusty weapons, and wear identical skull masks and silver masks. The hands holding the weapons are dry and pale, with sharp claws.
The golden pupils lit up one after another, and the pupils were like flickering flames.
Towards the direction of the viaduct coming from the city, countless black shadows rush down the high slopes, covering the mountains and plains, like rolling black tides, making people think of demons pouring out from the depths of hell.
They don't seem to be completely dead, but they are not living people either, but are trapped between life and death by some mysterious force.
…
An army composed entirely of dead practitioners? The total number is tens of thousands, but there seems to be no discipline, and there are no formations or military weapons. Can it really be used in high-level battles?
Noticing that most of the black figures ignored him hiding in the shadow area of the viaduct pillars, Shi Yiguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thoughtfully, but soon discovered that a considerable number of black figures seemed to be in order to ambush the powerful enemy in advance.
Have different actions.
Except for some of the black shadows, which had membrane wings supported by thin bones spread out behind them, floating in the storm and flying directly to the viaduct, most of the black shadows had no ability to fly and swarmed towards the pillars.
, I want to climb up from here.
There were more than a hundred black shadow monsters that looked at the pillar where Shi Yiguang was standing. Relying on some kind of keen perception, several monsters soon noticed the weak girl hiding among several wooden boards and started crying like a baby.
made a strange noise and suddenly launched an attack.
While two ancient Egyptian sickle-shaped swords hooked the edge of the wooden board and forced it open, several pale palms and the curled blade of an Indian whip sword had already broken into this narrow space, but they did not hit the valuable target.
Target.
A piece of broken iron sheet, obviously the product of a car accident, with a license plate number written on it, was severely cut into the gap between the fingers of one of the palms under Shi Yiguang's rapid swing, causing the owner of the hand to shrink back in pain, and also
The block blocked the sharp claws protruding from the other two pale hands.
With a hiss, the thin and flexible whip sword was thrown heavily on her left shoulder, but unexpectedly it bounced off and slipped off. On the way back to its curved state, it accidentally scraped off one of the shadow monsters.
The flesh and blood spattered out a ball of dark black blood.
Relying on the clothes that were comparable to a piece of armor, Shi Yiguang withstood the blow of the whip blade. Shi Yiguang did not use any luck to relieve the pain. Instead, he immediately jumped up and kicked out with both feet, kicking the two black figures who had not yet stood still to the seventh level.
Eight meters away, he dodged the slashes and thrusts of two sickle-shaped swords and a spear.
At the same time, the black blood from the injured shadow monster just now fell on the wooden board that had been broken into several pieces by the fighting in the blink of an eye, and white smoke curled up like concentrated acid.
Seeing that their companions failed to attack, the two monsters who were climbing and already hanging upside down on the edge of the bridge, ready to climb up, cried out in incomprehensible words, then swooped down suddenly, and ejected like snakes.
out.
A pitch-black raven was originally circling and flying nearby, but after seeing this scene, it immediately opened its golden crow's eyes, flapped its wings and flew over quickly, hoping to use it while the girl was in the air with nothing to rely on.
The beak was strong enough to penetrate fine steel and peck open the back of the opponent's head.
On the top of the damaged wooden roof below, there were six or seven additional black shadows waiting for the girl to fall. Their pale palms waved horizontally, and their fingertips tore the air, forming a murderous net, aiming to welcome the death of the other party.
.
This is a powerful force that can tear apart tigers and leopards, and tear apart armor. Once it falls on a person, even if he is protected by the Heavenly Silkworm Clothes, it will inevitably penetrate the body and cause serious damage.
There are powerful enemies in the sky and on the earth.
Faced with this desperate scene, Shi Yiguang did not panic. She suddenly flipped her left and right hands, and two small and simple hand crossbows appeared. In the blink of an eye, she shot dozens of heads.
Arrows made of rusty iron.
The raven, which was preparing for a sneak attack and launched a fatal blow, was the closest and was the first target to be shot. The arrow penetrated its golden eyes on the spot, causing it to fly backwards and hit the viaduct pillar first.
, and then staggered towards the ground.
Unlike the golden-eyed ravens, which were too light and therefore greatly affected by the kinetic energy of the arrows, the two shadow monsters that swooped in and were hit by arrows did not slow down at all and were still moving towards the girl.
They rushed towards the predetermined position, which shows the tyrannical force of their attack.
However, the next moment, the girl pulled her wrist hard. Under the light of many golden eyes, she could vaguely see that there were several extremely thin crystal silk threads holding between her fingers, and the other end was connected to the knees of the two monsters.
Joints are connected.
It was a few pieces of material that Shi Yiguang dismantled from his clothes, and was made of extremely tough silkworm silk.
They are connected to the three previous arrows that hit the target, and the arrowheads have barbs that can be embedded into the enemy's body.
So, with just a simple tug, the shadow monster's knee joints were disturbed and its body balance was broken. There was an immediate slight deviation in its movement trajectory. It flew past half a meter away from the girl and failed to touch it.
Get even a little bit of her body.
Due to the strength of the low-quality arrows and their barbs, and the monster's astonishing muscle contraction, they would be automatically pushed away and pushed out of the body within a few seconds. However, even with such a slight difference, their attack would be in vain.
Because an arrow was stuck, the bending of the knee joint was limited. The moment the two monsters landed, their legs made a snapping sound, and a large group of black blood spurted out from the arrow wounds, showing great mobility.
Injured, he curled up into a ball in pain and rolled towards the darkness.
At the same time, six or seven monsters were surrounding the girl on the ground. The holes in their masks had their golden eyes exploding, and black blood flowed out. They could only blindly swing their claws, without any cooperation from the previous blockade.
One of the stronger shadow monsters uncontrollably pulled out a rusty flail and wanted to ignore its companions and hit it randomly in order to expand the area of damage, but unexpectedly, it used too much force and inflicted damage on the already injured person.
The badly damaged roof collapsed accidentally.
This group of monsters, who were already panicking due to their damaged vision, fell to the ground one after another, and immediately jumped to the edge with all their strength, preferring to knock away the new black shadows that were surrounding them, rather than being provoked by the ferocious monsters again.
The opponent turned to another viaduct column.
It's not that they are afraid of death, but because the king's order is more important than anything else. Since they have never received instructions to kill Shi Yiguang, it is normal for them to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and preserve their own strength to stop the real enemy.
Another very important reason is that the shadows feel that the flesh and blood of the other party is not delicious, and can even be said to be tasteless, far inferior to that of a low-blooded hybrid, so there is no need to pay a high price.
The only one who stayed still and wanted to continue fighting was the stronger monster that had implicated his companions. It jumped up from the pile of broken wooden boards, and the arrow inserted into its eye socket was suddenly pulled out, golden
The broken pupils lit up again, releasing ancient majesty.
The heavy flail passed through a dangerous arc, carrying with it some sawdust and mud, and struck diagonally upward, causing an astonishing roar and explosion. The attack range covered an area of three to four meters.
Included.
Being able to recover a certain amount of vision in a short period of time, its bloodline during life must not be underestimated. It is one or two levels stronger than the previous minor characters, and the skill and slickness of the moves it performs are even more extraordinary.
But when the hazy glow in the girl's eyes lit up, the flail did not hit any target. This powerful offensive fell completely into the air. Instead, all the strength in its body was released, revealing a lot of
flaw.
At the same time, the miserable raven whose golden eye was hooked by the arrow, with Shi Yiguang's forceful swish, aimed its beak at the injured eye of the black shadow monster, and pecked it in while dazed, and stabbed it hard.
into the opponent's brain.
The next moment, as if he was worried that this monster, which was no different from the dead, was not dead yet, Shi Yiguang, who was falling rapidly, turned around, a layer of clear light came out from his toes, and he suddenly kicked the man half sunk in the silver mask.
A tearing wave of air exploded from the raven's butt.
The black shadow staggered a few steps, and the silver mask shattered. The girl saw the true faces hidden under the mask for the first time. She couldn't help but be secretly surprised and had many guesses.
Finally, he used a powerful move, or spell, instead of continuing to use it, which was not an advantage. He only had five or six hundred kilograms of strength to fight against the black shadow monster. The air wave of the explosion completely shattered the poor raven.
And cracked the upper half of the opponent's skull.
What was exposed before her eyes was half a ferocious and twisted face, with dry skin edges and mottled blue-gray scales. It seemed to be some kind of snake that had half transformed, but its skull structure was very similar to that of a human.
It looks like a hybrid made of a python and a human skull.
But before Shi Yiguang could take a closer look, the dead shadow turned into thick black blood, flowing and blending into the water on the ground, just like when it first appeared.
…
A bunch of enemies were killed in the blink of an eye. Since the landing point was temporarily cleared, Shi Yiguang should have been quite safe. She even had time to listen to the sound coming from the distance, which should have come from a high-speed steel monster car.
Seeing the strong black shadow at the level of a small boss fall, the few black shadows holding whip swords and sickle swords still had a strong desire to attack her, but they also seemed to have some kind of herd mentality.
When they saw that they were the only weaklings left facing this master who could obviously suppress them, they whispered to each other, took big steps, and retreated elsewhere.
Although the danger had subsided for the time being, and it seemed that there was no longer a need to face the siege of monsters, the girl looked into the distance where the sound of vehicles was, and observed the black shadows rushing there like a tide, and she was still worried.
Judging from the current situation, when the enemy targeted by the black shadow army passes by here, I am afraid that the sky and the ground within a radius of 100 meters will be filled with monsters. If you kill yourself with a few attacks, then you will
It's a piece of cake.
Therefore, no matter what, what she had to do was to break out immediately, break out towards the enemy's weak point, leave the dangerous battle area, and leave this twisted realm of death.
Just as the girl thought for a moment, she found a twisted car door from the pile of broken wood, preparing to use it as a shield, and began to break out from the side. In the darkness fifty or sixty meters away, a pair of shadows were far darker than any previous ones.
The dazzling golden eyes suddenly lit up and began to approach slowly.
This is a mighty giant. He is almost twice as tall as an ordinary black shadow, and may weigh as much as a young rhinoceros. Although he is bare-handed, his skin has a faint bronze color, which gives people an inexplicable look.
A sense of tenacity.
When the king does not deploy additional manpower, even in the entire viaduct area, it is a strong one that can be ranked high. It can be said to be the big boss who commands hundreds of shadows around it, and is even the one who intercepts foreign enemies here.
One of the main forces.
Generally speaking, the black shadow giant doesn't bother to pay attention to a low-level character like Shi Yiguang who has no blood and accidentally enters here. When he is in a good mood, it is not a problem to let her go - but only if the other party does not kill the younger brother it is covering.
In this area of the viaduct, with the help of the king's power, every black shadow can be resurrected and reshape its body. Therefore, dying once or twice is never a big deal. Being injured by a special field will not be a big deal mentally.
The pain and suffering is.
As an undead wandering between life and death, it no longer cares about many things, and as a big boss, the face is a very important one. When it cannot eat the flesh and blood of foreign hybrids, it can command the majesty of its younger brothers.
, it can almost be said to be the only enjoyment here.
And when the giant was thinking like this with its withered brain, trying to regain its majesty, it didn't expect that the weak girl in its eyes would actually be holding a broken car door and rushing towards it.
