I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

It was already afternoon when we left Heisong Town, the setting sun in the afternoon could hardly penetrate the towering tree crowns, and the entire forest fell into darkness again.

"No one knows the exact appearance of Yongye. Some say it is a shadow, some say it is a giant black wolf, and some say it is a man with a dark body. If the family members stare at it, the shadow will start to squirm."

On the way back to Castle Black, the mage might have been interested in Lu Jian's words, so he rode on his horse and began to tell about Yong Ye.

His name is Jonah, and he is a mage sent by the Gray Tower to resist this evil tide. He has experienced the last evil tide and is considered a veteran.

"Shadows will start to squirm?"

Lu Jian pretended not to understand, but actually wanted Jonah to say more.

"To put it simply, when you stand still and the shadow starts to move by itself, it means you have been targeted."

Jonah said quietly.

"That's why we have to stay under the light when facing the eternal night. Only in this way can we confirm their movements, and the powerful sunlight can resist the attack of the eternal night, so the night after the magic tide begins is very important. "

"Then how should Yongye kill?"

Lu Jian asked curiously again, and Birmingham next to him had given up stopping him, and instead followed Lu Jian to listen to Jonah's story.

"Hehe, Eternal Night cannot be killed, and even the leaders of the Twelve Demonic Waves cannot be killed. In other words, there may not be anyone who can kill these guys in this world. When they appear, they usually represent The creatures in this entire area have been completely killed, in fact, there have been zero sighting reports about the source of these demon tides so far."

Jonah smiled helplessly.

"What about Frost, what is Frost afraid of?"

Lu Jian is not forgiving.

Anyway, no money, just ask a little.

"Frost is afraid of flames and high temperatures. When resisting the frost wave, the fortress will ignite a fire. As long as the fire is not extinguished, it will be difficult for Frost to break through the fortress. Of course, when Frost arrives, the temperature will rise." With the unprecedented severe cold, ordinary flames will soon be extinguished, and even using magic can only last for a short period of time, what we have to do is to prevent Frost's family members from entering the fortress."

Jonah glanced at the snow on the ground.

clatter——

Suddenly, some unknown creature was moving on the canopy of the tree, and a large pile of snow fell, just falling into the crowd, causing a commotion.

"Cold and cold..."

Birmingham's back collar fell into a block of ice, making him cry out.

A group of people were laughing at the rangers who were in a hurry, but Lu Jian felt that something was wrong.

He felt that the forest on the left side of the road became deeper and deeper than before.

"Mr. Jonah, is there something wrong over there?"

Lu Jian pointed.

Jonah looked that way.

His face quickly turned livid.

"Rearrange formation, it's an enemy attack."

He raised his hand, and a crystal emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire forest.

Lu Jian saw that the shadows of those trees became deeper and deeper under the strong light, and suddenly, those shadows moved.

Without any change in the incident angle of the light, these shadows moved as if they had their own vitality.

A shadow twisted and entangled with the shadow of another tree.

The next moment, the tree where the shadow originally belonged seemed to be sent into a wood processing machine. Many deep scratches suddenly appeared, its branches fell off, and the leaves turned into debris and fell.

Those shadows are avoiding the glare.

But the falling leaves obscured the light in Jonah's hand to some extent, and Lu Jian watched the distorted shadow shift from one tree to another, approaching the team.

Hum——

At this time, another ray of light came on, coming from another mage.

The third mage also lit up a strong light at the same time. Under the illumination of the three rays of light, those shadows had nowhere to hide, as if they were suppressed and remained motionless.

"This is Yongye's family, how did they get here through the sentry tower?"

Jonah muttered to himself, and at the same time, the commander raised the torch in his hand.

The flames flickered, and although those shadows could not move, they looked hideous.

"The outermost sentinels didn't even notice that they might have been captured by Yongye's family in an instant."

The commander said that he directed the team to move forward, at least for now, under the suppression of the strong light, these shadows could not approach the remaining people.

At this time, Lu Jian noticed that a ranger standing outside, under his feet, the shadow suddenly trembled.

"Your shadow..."

Hearing Lu Jian's words, the man's expression froze.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his feet.

The people next to the team all backed away in horror, away from him.

Under the strong light, his shadow still trembled slightly, as if a worm was about to break out of its cocoon and hatch a strange life.

His expression was beyond panic, and despair crawled all over his face.

"Don't move, Yongye's family prefers to attack running creatures..."

Jonah hadn't finished speaking.

The man's skin has already burst open.

As if his flesh and blood had been cut by an extremely sharp blade, all the skin on his body exploded, and his whole body was bloody.

Under the strong light, Lu Jian saw the shadow fleeing quickly along with the shadow left by the blood, and hid among the trees.

thump--

The ranger fell to the ground, motionless and dead.

Surprisingly, the flesh and blood on his body had crumbled and scattered during the fall, and in the end there was only a skeleton with fascia.

And those flesh and blood did not fall on the snow, and disappeared.

There is no doubt that it was swallowed up.

"We need to move as fast as possible and get into the fort before night falls."

Jonah said that he held up the bright light in his hand to guide the team's forward direction.

The team moves fast.

But everyone looked at the feet of themselves and their companions intentionally or unintentionally.

That originally inconspicuous shadow without any characteristics is now like some kind of time bomb. No one knows whether the shadow under the feet will suddenly come alive and swallow itself.

Lu Jian saw that Birmingham beside him was pale and sweating profusely in such a cold day.

Fortunately, those Yong Ye's family members seemed to be really afraid of the strong light, so they didn't catch up.

After marching for an unknown amount of time, the sentinel troops finally arrived at Fort Black.

"Black Castle has magic to detect monsters, we don't have to worry about Yongye's family following in."

Jonah reassured.

Just as this group of people gradually passed through several barriers and entered the interior of Fort Black, another ranger froze.

His shadow began to squirm under the detection of the invisible spell, like a giant snake, trying to wrap him around.

Jonah pointed at the bright light in his hand, and the shadow immediately returned to normal.

But the next moment, the moment the ranger just relaxed, his flesh and blood exploded like fireworks and disappeared in mid-air.

Only the loose bones remained, falling to the ground.

As for the companion standing beside the ranger, the two sides were fighting each other, not daring to act rashly.

"The only way to eliminate the Eternal Night Familia is to expose them to the sun, completely exposed to the sun. Artificial light can only temporarily delay their actions."

Jonah sighed.

"And when the Eternal Night's demonic tide comes, you can't even see the sun in the daytime. This is the demonic tide, the real demonic tide."
