Heavenly Dao Formula

"This fog...is not normal!"

"Nonsense, fog can be divided into morning and night, how have you ever seen fog at dusk?"

"When things go wrong, there must be evil... Is it really a wild night?"

"Sure enough, it sounds like you have experienced it before."

"But in this way, we won't be able to see Mei's movements clearly!"

Compared with the people who were arguing, Luo Qingqing was obviously much calmer. She directly ordered a fellow disciple, "Go, ring the bronze bell, let the people below light the torches, and take their seats according to the previously arranged team."

"yes."

As the warning bell sounded, the examinees who gathered in the small square moved slowly—although there was endless noise and no discipline at all, under the temptation of passing the examination, everyone was still Followed the arrangement and entered their respective defensive positions.

Xia Fan also left the command post and boarded the "city wall" to the west.

It is said to be a city wall, but it is actually a combination of two green brick houses and a section of earthen wall. Most of the roof of the house has been removed, and a crossbar is placed in the middle, and the slope for drainage is transformed into a fairly flat platform. The entire western wall can accommodate more than 30 people, and the narrowest part can also accommodate five people in parallel. This is already a "luxury configuration" that many small cities do not have.

Luo Weiwei once hinted that if he didn't want to face the evil spirits directly, he could be put in the support team, but Xia Fan declined the other party's kindness—aside from the idea that he should be responsible for his own proposal, he also wanted to observe the Great Wilderness up close. Shaye, and how the alchemist fought the evil spirits.

Candidates who climbed the western wall were mainly led by the Luo family. They were basically divided into groups of five, and there were five to six groups on the wall. Behind them were a substitute group and a logistics team. The former was responsible for replacing the injured or unable to fight candidates. The latter is responsible for moving supplies and taking care of the wounded, and the overall layout can be regarded as simple and clear.

The leader of Xia Fan's group is Luo Tang, who had met once before. She should be slightly older than Luo Weiwei, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she looks upright, with long jet black hair Lay straight on the back, quite a ladylike temperament. It's just that for some reason, he always felt that the other party's eyes looking at him contained some precautions and vigilance.

Seeing that all the staff arrived, Luo Tang said, "Although Luo Qingqing has already explained it, in order to avoid omissions, I will repeat it here again. Apart from preventing evil spirits from attacking and climbing the city wall, your main task must be to keep this The torches are endless—" She pointed to the burning wooden poles beside her, and there are wooden torches like this almost every three or four meters, and it seems that there is a swaying flame fence around the "city head" , "Once the light of the fire is lost, the danger level of Mei will be greatly increased, so no matter what happens, you must ensure that the torch is not lost."

"What if it gets lost?" Someone asked.

"Then life and death are fate, each depends on its ability." "Brother Yan" who was leaning against the corner said the grass roots in his mouth.

After getting along with each other for two days, Xia Fan also got to know this person better—his real name is Zhang Yan, and the person who called him "Brother Yan" before was his elder brother Zhang Shi. The two brothers came from the Orion family. , who was originally a villager, was favored by the county magistrate because of his ability to perceive qi.

When he was wearing the Confucian green shirt before, this person's demeanor was a little awkward. It was not until he led the hunting team up the mountain to go wild, and changed back into a leather short jacket and boots, that the whole person seemed natural. Now with a short bow on the back, it looks like a seasoned hunter.

"Of course not!" Luo Tang said angrily, "If the torches go out, you should retreat to a place with light immediately, and regain your positions when the substitutes come up with new torches!"

"That's right... that's exactly what I mean." Zhang Yan whistled.

Luo Tang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued, "Mei is a "nocturnal creature", afraid of light and scorching heat. Li, dry, and shock all have good restraint effects, and the medicinal materials allocated are mostly these two types of spells." . It's just that everyone is proficient in different techniques. If you feel that you are not good at Lishu and Qianshu, don't waste medicinal materials, and leave it to your classmates who are good at it. The mahogany weapon also has a good effect of repelling the enemy, just hold your sword and guard the torch around it. "

Xia Fan glanced into the wooden basket where the medicinal materials were placed, and sure enough, he saw a lot of powder - that should be the sulfur and nitrate powder that Lishu often uses.

"What if the entire city wall is lost?" Zhang Shiweng asked in a low voice. Unlike Brother Yan, he is half a circle bigger than ordinary people, with thick hands and feet, and he doesn't seem to be able to climb mountains and mountains. Most of the time, he is taciturn, which is somewhat in line with the stone in his name.

"Back to the small square, the Luo family will launch the final alchemy to ignite the teahouse and hotel. The materials are the source of the spiritual fire collected earlier." Luo Tang replied slowly.

"The source of the spiritual fire?" Xia Fan frowned.

"That's right. Although the spirit fire is Yin, it cannot drive away evil spirits, but a burning house can. In other words, this 'city wall' is our last torch."

That part was not part of his plan.

Obviously, this countermeasure was thought up by Luo Weiwei.

It will be troublesome if you really get to that step, Xia Fan thought to himself.

The fox demon is still recuperating in his own room. He can neither let her go, nor can he bring her to appear in full view, so the worst situation must be avoided.

Half an hour later, the sun had completely set below the mountain, and the purple-red sky had completely turned into jet black. The originally hazy vision further deteriorated, and it retreated to the foot of the "fortress". Xia Fan reckoned that even if a single torch on the wall was not extinguished, they could only see a distance of about 20 meters from the street at most. Farther away, the flames seemed to be blocked by thick mist, unable to advance any further.

At the same time, there was a gust of evening wind blowing above people's heads - it was completely different from the normal air flow at the turn of day and night, with a hint of coolness in the warmth, but it came and went invisible, as if it could penetrate the human body, which made people feel uncomfortable Chills down the spine.

The torch flickered.

The crowd, which was still noisy before, fell into silence unknowingly. The candidates held their breath involuntarily, staring at the darkness in front of them, not even daring to breathe.

Everyone realized that tonight was never going to be an easy night.

Suddenly, Xia Fan saw a strange change on the flickering edge of the fire - only a part of the darkness seemed to escape from the night and the fog, and slipped onto the dark ground.

It didn't overlap the ground, but remained upright, which meant that it was neither a shadow nor an illusion, but something close to an entity!

Due to the distance, Xia Fan couldn't discern any details except that it was a human figure.

It's just that the movement speed of the black shadow is very slow, and there is even an unnatural sense of separation, as if the previous step to the next step is not a coherent movement, but a blink of an eye.

"They're here." Luo Tang whispered.

"Then... is Mei?" Zhang Yan took off the short bow and held it in her hand, completely losing the ease she had before.

"Mei is just a collective name... the evil spirits in the Great Desolate Night, and this is the first time I've seen them." She swallowed, trying to hide the tension in her words.

As more darkness peeled off, the wind seemed to grow a lot stronger, and the torches at the top of the city visibly shook.

Xia Fan keenly noticed that those places covered by night seemed to no longer light up—once the fire shrank, darkness would occupy it. He thought it was an illusion at first, but he could tell by comparing the visible width of the street. The area they can see is indeed shrinking!

The ink between the sky and the earth seems to be integrated at this moment, and this fortress is the only weak light in the darkness.

As the black shadow gradually approached, Xia Fan could see it more and more clearly. There are not too many of them at present, about eight or nine appeared in front of the west wall, and the first one was within ten meters of the city wall. When its appearance was fully presented under the firelight, Xia Fan couldn't help but gasped.

"Hold."

This evil appearance is far from what he expected!

He thought it was a zombie siege, but the thing in front of him completely deviated from the definition of a corpse. It only has a humanoid outline, with a big head and slender limbs. Most of its body is covered by a shell made of dirt, branches and other sundries. In the damaged parts, it can be seen that the interior is empty—it seems that there is a bottomless hole under the shell. It is empty, and it seems that there is a large amount of black mist surging.

Except for a pair of "concave holes" that sway back and forth on the top of the head, there are no other features on Mei Mei's body-no nose or mouth can be seen, and the head and torso are integrated, which reminds Xia Fan of those in Silent Hill. monster. Although they look different, they give people the same feeling: they are all manifestations of pure malice, and just looking at them makes people shudder.

"vomit……"

Vomiting sounded around me.

Xia Fan also felt his stomach churning, no matter how terrifying the monster was, he wouldn't be able to spit it out just by looking at it. This sickening discomfort has nothing to do with shape, but something deeper...

He has never had a similar experience, and it is difficult to describe it for a while. He just feels that the things in front of him are naturally opposed to the living. As long as they are living things, they will subconsciously hate and reject them.

The only fortunate thing is that their moving speed has never changed. It took almost five or six minutes for a short distance of ten meters. Even zombies with limbs are faster than them.

This at least allows everyone to have sufficient time to prepare alchemy.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, as long as the torches don't go out, Mei won't be able to threaten us!"

Suddenly someone shouted on the west wall.

Xia Fan followed the prestige and found that the other party was Fei Nian.

He held up a talisman, and then threw the white powder in his hand——

"Li Shu returns to you, Flying Flower Flame!"

The moment the talismans were reduced to ashes, a bright bridge of flames appeared between the wall and the charm.

Lie Yan (raging flames) is like a flying snake, rushing towards the target, engulfing the charm in an instant!

Li Xingyao can get the title of fan with the top five values, everyone give Fox Demon a lot of rewards! For details of the event, please refer to the book circle
