At this time, I, Fatty Cao, and Cheng Shuting began to wait in this open space. I looked at the time. It was only seven o'clock in the evening. It was still early before twelve o'clock. I leaned against a tree and went to sleep. I don't know how long it was. I felt someone pushing my arm. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Fatty Cao.
Fatty Cao saw that I had woken up and whispered in my ear, "Xiaojiu, it's already half past eleven. Get up and get ready."
I nodded, rubbed my dizzy head, and looked around. It was already pitch black. I took out some cow's tears from my bag and applied it on myself. I felt better. Then I gave it to Fatty Cao and asked him to apply it on himself as well.
Although it did feel better after applying it, I still felt it was not enough. After all, the ghosts this time could be invisible. They would not be as obvious as the previous ghosts. So I said to Fatty Cao, "Fatty, hurry up and pick up some firewood and start a fire. Otherwise, it will be bad for us if we are attacked from behind."
Fatty Cao nodded after hearing this. Fortunately, there were trees around and there were some dry firewood. It didn't take much effort to make a fire. At this time, I looked at the time. It was 11:50. Fatty Cao and Cheng Shuting were obviously not very stable. After all, they were both scared by what happened seven days ago.
"Okay, Fatty, don't worry too much. If they want to hurt you today, they have to walk over my dead body. No matter what you think, you will always be the Fatty in my heart." I looked at the two anxious people beside the fire and said lightly.
Fatty Cao turned his head after hearing what I said. I saw his eyes flicker. But he didn't say anything. I smiled bitterly. This guy really wants to save face.
Just like that, time passed by minute by minute. At 11:58, my intercom suddenly rang. I immediately remembered the intercom Fang Pengguang had given me in the afternoon. But I didn't pay much attention to it at that time.
"Brother Xiaojiu, pay attention. Something is flying towards you from the southeast of the forest." Fang Pengguang's voice came from the intercom. I immediately looked towards the southeast. Sure enough, a group of blood-red butterflies were slowly flying towards us.
"Fatty, be careful. Look carefully at the ground and listen carefully. If there is any movement, use the 'Five Thunderbolts' I gave you to hit it. Don't be afraid. The more afraid you are, the easier it is to die." I turned around and said to Fatty Cao and Cheng Shuting, and I didn't care about them anymore.
He took out the black dog blood and poured half of it into his mouth. He raised the peach wood sword in his right hand and looked solemnly at the blood butterflies in the sky. It was strange to say. As soon as the blood butterflies flew over us, all the birds in the forest screamed and flew away.
I frowned when I saw it. I looked at the time. It was already twelve o'clock. Now I dared not be careless. I carefully observed the movements around me. The blood butterflies in the sky were constantly flying in the air in the woods.
"Crack..." Suddenly, I heard the sound of a branch being broken on my right. I turned around and slashed to the right with my sword. I immediately felt like I had hit something real. A black shadow appeared in the empty space in front of me.
This time I was closer, and with the help of the firelight, I was able to see clearly what the black shadow was. This black shadow actually looked like a human shadow, light black, human-shaped, but with two horns on its head. It looked very strange.
When I saw this shadow appear, I didn't hesitate. I stabbed him in the chest with a sword. This time, I hit him. The sword went through his heart. In an instant, this shadow collapsed like the other ghosts.
At the same time as the black shadow disappeared, a blood butterfly in the sky also lost its balance and fell down. When it landed on the ground, it had turned black all over. I should have been happy to see this, because blood butterflies are highly poisonous and can fly. To be honest, I have no way to deal with them. But now, after killing a black shadow, a blood butterfly died. What does this mean? There are hundreds of blood butterflies in the sky. If it is really as I thought, and a blood butterfly attracts a black shadow, then we will definitely die today.
While I was thinking, Fatty Cao and Cheng Shuting behind me also screamed in fear. I turned around and saw that they had also created two black shadows. I finally understood. It seemed that my guess was true. I rushed forward and stabbed the two black shadows twice, and they disappeared from the face of the earth. Similarly, two blood butterflies fell from the sky.
To be honest, this black shadow is not that powerful. It is not even as powerful as an evil ghost. But they are able to be invisible, so that people in the underworld cannot see them. This is their advantage. If you don't know their weaknesses or their special abilities beforehand, you will definitely suffer a great loss. But fortunately, I have dealt with them seven days ago. After the deductions just now, I have found a way to deal with them. As long as they rely on this open space with many dead leaves and branches, their ability to be invisible is basically nothing. But now the situation is different. Because of their number.
Their number far exceeded my expectations. Originally, I expected no more than five. Now there are so many. I can only see if I can kill them all.
But if a fight breaks out later, I will definitely not be able to take care of Fatty Cao and the others. This is really a difficult problem. I looked around and suddenly saw the fire. Oh, Cui Zuofei said that these blood butterflies are afraid of fire. Since they are afraid of fire, the black shadows they summoned should not be much better. They should also be afraid of fire.
Thinking of this, I immediately shouted at Fatty Cao and Cheng Shuting: You two should use fire to form a circle. Then maybe those shadows can't hurt you. After that, I took a few steps forward and continued to observe with my ears and eyes.
Fatty Cao and Cheng Shuting were delighted when they heard there was a way to protect them. Because they were able to fight off the two shadows just now by sheer luck. At that time, they were completely focused. But they were just ordinary people after all. If they continued like this, they would be extremely tired and could not hold on for long.
The two were also very smart. They immediately picked up a bunch of dead firewood from the side, formed a circle with a diameter of five meters, and then set it on fire.
I have already killed five black shadows. I don't know why, but only two of them came out at most. But it's a good thing. Otherwise, if they rushed at me, I would be dead even if I had three heads and six arms.
