The sky is overcast, the cloudy ones seem to collapse at any time, the leaves of the trees are more withered, leaving only hideous branches, and the ones that are not withered have changed into a shape, either growing sharp fangs or covering It is covered with fine fluff, and the poisonous spores are hidden in it. If you walk nearby and take a breath, there is a risk of falling.
This piece of land that was once rich and beautiful, even if people didn't have to work, could live without worry, has now become gloomy and terrifying, like the hell in myths and legends.
"The age of extreme darkness." Zhao Xiaokui said suddenly looking at such an environment.
This word is not in Lin Bai's database, he approached and asked, "What is the dark age?"
"There is a legend that came from an extraordinary civilization, which I saw in the memory of the Heretic God's inheritance," Zhao Xiaokui explained to his team members while avoiding a fallen dead tree, "It is said that before the extraordinary appeared, Human beings have been in ignorance for a long time. They have no words, can't make fire, and can only rely on gathering for food. Unlike our civilization, they have to face seasonal changes and natural disasters. Threatened by creatures called evil spirits."
"Evil spirits roam the wilderness. When they reach a certain number, the brilliance of the sun will be obscured. They devour and transform the weak and turn them into their own kind. They frighten the strong and pollute their spirits. , let them go to collapse step by step..."
"Evil spirits do not have a fixed form, the specific form is consistent with the body of the creature they pollute and occupy, that is, if they pollute a tiger, then they will become a tiger, if the pollution is a person, Then they are monsters in human form."
Just as he was talking, Ye Ying, who was in charge of exploring the road, appeared in front of everyone. "I found a village in front of me, but the people inside have all turned into strange creatures. I think you should go and see it."
Zhao Xiaokui said, "Let's go, maybe it's an evil spirit."
Her guess was not wrong.
From a distance, they saw figures wandering in the village.
They are very thin, the skin directly wraps the bones, the muscles inside seem to have disappeared bizarrely, the body is filled with strange black gas, covering the face, only the eye socket can be vaguely seen, there are two gray-blue firelights.
"The number of people is not very large. Let's solve it and see if we can find any useful clues."
They know that there are at least two evil gods in this strange realm, but they have no idea where these two evil gods are. They can only adapt to the actual situation after they come in.
Although they are a beheading team, they don't necessarily have to behead the two largest heads. If they can force the two evil gods out, cause a huge movement, attract the attention of the outside world, and let the more powerful people attack directly. a success.
"These things are indeed evil spirits. People's souls are trapped in them and become burning substances. If we kill them, it can be regarded as a relief without too much psychological burden." Zhao Xiaokui reminded, "The body is not theirs. Weakness, only the brain, especially the position between the two soul fires, is the most core place."
Zhao Xiaokui's voice fell, and everyone pulled out their weapons, most of them were knives, only Su Cha from Leiyin Holy Land was a short staff. He slapped the short staff and turned into a long stick. Come, it is very dexterous to hold in his hand, the first evil spirit was smashed by him with a stick.
Although Lin Bai is a technical talent, his mental strength is developed, so he has strong computing power. He can plan an optimal attack route and attack method in a short time, and dexterously shuttle among the evil spirits. An evil spirit slammed to the ground.
Zhao Xiaokui's weapons are also extraordinary. She uses her own pair of sharp claws. After the golden mermaid's bloodline is awakened, her claws also change color. When her nails stick out, she can see obvious gold. When attacking evil spirits , almost just touching their foreheads, the soul fire inside will suddenly collapse under her own sacred aura.
Seriously speaking, her golden mermaid is actually more conspicuous than holy water when she throws it into the strange domain.
Fortunately, the ancestors in the inherited memory are not fools. Knowing that their bloodline is deeply coveted, they have already developed a set of ways to hide themselves. That is why Zhao Xiaokui has never fully awakened before, stupid, with a golden fish. The tail is walking outside, she is not targeted by the evil god, who can be targeted by the evil god
Soon a few people solved the evil spirits wandering outside, Zhao Xiaokui said: "Check the situation in the house, two people in groups, pay attention to safety."
Zhao Xiaokui is a daring master of art, and is naturally single.
She stretched out her hand to open the wooden door of a house beside her, and a gust of wind rushed toward her face, and was caught by Zhao Xiaokui, a milk cat the size of a palm, and when she looked closely, she realized that what she was holding was actually a milk cat the size of a palm. cat.
Park Hui Ya was coming out of a house with nothing, her eyes lit up when she saw the milk cat, and she exclaimed, "It's so cute and it looks normal, why is there in the polluted Weird Realm? Such a creature?"
Zhao Xiaokui grabbed the milk cat's neck, lifted it up, and looked at her in front of her eyes. Those dark eyes stared straight at her, making people panic for no reason. Even Park Huiya, who said that the milk cat was cute. , also rubbed his arms, and took a step back subconsciously.
She frowned, her fingers folded slightly.
Just when Pu Huiya thought she would solve this little creature directly, she saw a black gas rising from the milk cat. With the rising of the black gas, the milk cat gradually became weaker, and the original terrifying body. The eyes also became a little soft. It stared at Zhao Xiaokui and meowed softly, which sounded soft and mushy.
Zhao Xiaokui said, "No thanks."
As she said that, she put it on the ground, the little milk cat lying on the ground, slowly closed her eyes, and then her body quickly decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pile of dead bones, and the bones also disappeared in a very short time. Inside, it turned into powder and dissipated.
Zhao Xiaokui and Pu Huiya stayed for too long and attracted the other team members. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"This cat is lucky, it should have been born at a time when the concentration of extraordinary power was increasing, so in the mother's body, the intelligence was turned on, and it became an extraordinary creature. Unfortunately, the place where it lived was controlled by the evil god and became a strange creature. It was corrupted and demonized by the power of the evil god, and its soul cried out in pain in the contamination of demonic energy. I helped it get rid of the demonic energy, and it also lost its vitality."
"You should pay attention to these demonized creatures. They are more dangerous than physical evil spirits. Of course, don't underestimate evil spirits. We are easy to solve now because they are all possessed by living creatures. If We are facing incorporeal evil spirits, so you will know how powerful they are."
"Yes."
This is a not very rich village, as can be seen from the fact that the villagers have few possessions.
The most valuable of them was just a motorcycle parked at the head of the village. Arthur tried to start it, but was frightened enough by the huge roar, and hurriedly shut it down.
Lin Bai walked out of the room with a notebook and said, "I found this, I think it should be useful."
"What is this?" Zhao Xiaokui took it and found that it was a book with some words written in French, and Arthur repeated it in English, "Uncle Gru in the village has been ill for a long time, I went to see him today, he It's strange that he used to be strong, but now he's as thin as a stray dog..."
Black Hill said: "It should be when the village was first invaded by evil spirits."
They turned back, and the diary recorded that people in this village fell ill one by one. The United Nations called on everyone to leave Africa on TV. They didn't know what happened, but they thought it was another severe infectious disease. It spreads on the earth, and everyone is very afraid. The person who is afraid of dying tomorrow is themselves.
The person who recorded all this should be a child. The words and sentences are very young, showing a childish look. Through his pen, Zhao Xiaokui and the others captured what happened in this village.
Their culture is too low. When the United Nations told everyone to evacuate, no one understood what it meant. Poverty gave them no choice to escape from this land where they lived for generations. Even some local forces called everyone together to form a When they lived in larger settlements to avoid the invasion of evil spirits, they did not listen. They just stayed in their own homes, thinking that if the door was closed, everything would be fine.
Then came one tragedy after another.
The children in the diary were the last to have an accident.
Before his body was occupied by evil spirits, he began to have nightmares all day long, dreaming of some bizarre things, and after waking up, his mind was also very trance, he thought he was sick, but his parents were more seriously ill, he There was no way to ask them for help. Instead, he had to take care of them. He could only endure it abruptly. Every day, he recorded his hallucinations and said that he saw something again.
"I saw a boat, a very big black boat, like it was made of wood, but it was smoking again, and there was a black flag on the boat with a white skull on it, very handsome, just Like a legendary pirate ship…”
"Today I had a terrible dream. I dreamed of a valley full of dead people. Blood flowed out of the valley and turned into a red river. There were many monsters coming out of the river..."
"Today I dreamed of a village. There were many people in the village. They were wearing clothes like those in ancient European TV dramas. A group of soldiers broke into their village. People just kill one person, there are broken corpses and internal organs everywhere, the intestines are scattered on the ground, it is terrible and bloody…”
"These should be the memories of the evil spirit that possessed him during his lifetime." Zhao Xiaokui only glanced at it and understood what had happened, she pursed her lips, and said, "For those with a pure mind and firm will, Being occupied by evil spirits is not a sudden time, but a period of contamination, and during this process, you will continue to see the painful past of the evil spirits."
"He should not be the first person to be possessed by evil spirits. Before him, there should be more people who have been occupied by evil spirits, and these people are not even the same era and civilization we live in, otherwise The picture he saw couldn't have been so different."
After reading the diary, everyone's heart is a bit heavy.
Through that diary, they seemed to have also entered the period when the continent was occupied by the evil gods. When the people stranded on this land were powerless to resist, they could only wait for the arrival of death in despair.
Su Cha closed his eyes and recited a Buddha name.
Zhao Xiaokui said: "At least we are not without success. According to this diary, we should be able to find the next settlement, maybe there are still people alive there."
Park Hui Ya said, "Is there really anyone alive in a place like this?"
"Yes, trust me." Zhao Xiaokui never doubted this matter. "The evil gods are not omnipotent. As long as they need human beings for a day, there will definitely be human beings alive."
