Shi Zhongyu woke up from his daze and slowly opened his eyes.
The familiar log roof beams and the familiar spider webs in the corners made Shi Zhongyu struggle to move.
With just a slight movement, the scenery in front of me started to shake.
Shi Zhongyu closed his eyes, rested for a moment, and struggled again.
Only then did he feel as if his whole body had been crushed by stones, and there was pain everywhere.
He slowly stood up from the bed. There was a bronze mirror about a foot in size standing on the small table next to him.
Because it has not been polished for a long time, the mirror surface has already become dull.
Shi Zhongyu took a casual look and saw a person with his head wrapped tightly in the mirror.
He raised his hand and touched his face, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After getting up and moving for a while, I found that my injury was not as serious as I thought.
Apart from a wooden bed and a desk, there was almost no other decoration in the empty room.
Shi Zhongyu looked around, but the Sunstone was nowhere to be seen. Out of a sense of responsibility, he was still going to find someone to inquire.
‘Squeak——!’
Pushing open the old wooden door, Shi Zhongyu came to the street.
Only then did he realize that it was pitch black above the sky, and it was already night.
The lampposts at the nodes of the earth's veins have long been replaced with sunstones, and pieces of bright light spread out, making the whole village as bright as day.
…
It is not easy to survive in the misty secret realm. The biggest threat to all kinds of creatures is the sun zombies and night ghosts.
These two unique creatures were both transformed from humans.
Sun zombies only appear during the day and will attack all living creatures they sense.
It is impossible to study how the earliest sun corpses appeared. We only know that they were caused by some kind of negative energy invasion.
Due to the negative energy in the body, at night, the sun corpse will follow its instinct to rest.
The Sun Corpse has a body as hard as wood, moves as fast as the wind, has no heartbeat, no consciousness, and is bloodthirsty and crazy, just like a corpse resurrected, so it is called a Sun Corpse.
It has no vision, but its sense of smell and hearing are extremely sensitive, and it is highly contagious.
If you are bitten by it, once your mind is lost and infected by negative energy, you will lose your mind and become a new sun zombie.
Because my body is full of negative energy, I extremely hate the pure brilliance of the sun and moon.
Both sunlight and moonlight can cause great damage to it.
In the secret realm of mist, the sun appears only for one hour at noon every day, and at night, the lunar moon appears only for one hour at midnight.
Therefore, these two hours within a day are the safest.
There are three types of Japanese zombies: ordinary, commander, and king.
The main characteristics of ordinary sun zombies are high strength, high defense, fast speed, no consciousness and no fear of injury and death.
Despite this, this kind of Japanese zombie can be easily dealt with by an awakened person with a little strength.
The leader-level Japanese zombies are different. They will derive some unique talents and abilities based on their state before being infected.
These abilities include supernatural powers, spells, and all kinds of weird abilities.
The invasion of negative energy will cause these abilities to be enhanced, reduced or mutated, and there will only be one or two abilities.
Due to differences in their host bodies, the strength of the Japanese zombies at this level will vary greatly. The strongest ones are extremely strong, while the weak ones are extremely weak.
The King Sun Zombie's own abilities are not very outstanding, but it can control all Sun Zombies of the other two types.
The most important thing is that it has a simple mind, can think, and can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
If most villages and towns in the Mysterious Mist Realm are attacked by the Sun Corpse, it is basically because of the appearance of the King Sun Corpse.
In addition to the sun corpse, there is also a more terrifying creature in the secret realm, and that is the night ghost.
Night ghosts are also transformed from humans. They are formed after death by the emotions and desires during life.
This is a kind of obsession. In other realms, no matter how intense the emotions before death are, it is difficult to form ghosts out of resentment.
But the Mysterious Mist Realm is different. The special spatial structure here makes it easy for human beings to emerge out of obsession after death.
Because night ghosts are formed by obsession after human death, they are just a spiritual body that will appear in the world as a shadow.
However, you must not assume that just because it has no substance, it is harmless.
In fact, the damage it causes to humans is far greater than that of Japanese zombies.
The coldness of the soul can only be suppressed by sucking hot blood, so it is born to be the mortal enemy of all living things.
This is somewhat similar to the Heavenly Ghost.
Moreover, this is a creature with basic sanity. It has a certain degree of wisdom and is immune to simple physical damage.
The special spirit allows night ghosts to possess the abilities of bewitchment, shadow walking and strong mental damage.
Anyone who is passed by it will have their bodies frozen, or their souls will be extinguished.
There is no classification of night ghosts, but they have an extremely terrifying racial characteristic.
Overlay!
Because they have no entity, Night Ghosts can be superimposed on each other.
There may be only one of the hundreds or thousands of night ghosts showing their appearance, and it is impossible to determine the specific number until it attacks.
Of course, everything in the world is in balance. Because Night Ghost is a spiritual body, it likes yin but not yang.
Therefore, it usually hides in the shadows during the day and only goes out when night comes.
All things interact with each other, and there are sun corpses and night ghosts in the misty and mysterious realm, and there are also things that restrain them.
‘Sunrise Stone’ and ‘Moonstone’!
These two kinds of stones are born from the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, so they have the power of taiyin and sun.
But they do not produce energy themselves and need to draw it from the sun and the moon.
The 'Sunstone' needs to be exposed to sunlight at noon to absorb the power of the strong sun.
After it is activated with the power of earth veins at night, it can emit bright sunlight and prevent the invasion of night ghosts.
The 'Moonstone' is on the contrary, it needs to absorb the power of moonlight during the child's time.
Whether it is Sunstone or Moonstone, they have a common feature, which is that they can dispel fog.
Although the dispersal range of each one is limited, as long as the number is sufficient, it can be arranged into a formation to form a field.
All villages, towns and castles in the fog are formed by these two kinds of strange stones.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And ‘Moonstone’ also has a special feature, it can effectively isolate sound and smell.
Therefore, during the day, every village and town will activate the 'Moonstone'. With this characteristic, the sun zombies cannot find the village.
Whether it is a sun corpse or a night ghost, the power of Taiyin and the Sun can cause damage to them.
But the night ghost belongs to the Yin attribute, so the Sunstone will do more damage to it.
The power of the lunar sun stored in the two strange stones is limited. If it is not recharged, it can only last for seven days at most.
But in order to prevent accidents and mishaps, basically the villages in the fog will charge two kinds of strange stones during the two periods of time.
In the mysterious realm of mist, in addition to humans, there are also various other creatures.
Over thousands of years, all races that can survive to this day are survivors who have been brutally eliminated.
Slightly weaker creatures have long since died, but nature has a strong ability to correct errors.
Because of the existence and threat of day and night ghosts, countless species have mutated, gradually forming the current biological chain.
…
Shi Zhongyu walked along the street path towards the ancestral hall.
Although it was night, there were still a large number of villagers patrolling the streets.
This is not something that happens occasionally, it happens every day.
No matter how useful the two strange stones are, just in case, there are a lot of people patrolling the village every day.
Some of the team also led spiritual-eyed mastiffs. This type of mastiff is extremely sensitive to vitality and can easily detect traces of day and night ghosts.
Along the way, Shi Zhongyu encountered at least six patrol teams.
The size of a village with a length and width of 400 meters is determined by the number of 'Sunstones' and 'Moonstones' in the village.
If there are enough two kinds of strange stones, more fog can be dispersed, and the scope of the village can be expanded.
Therefore, the two kinds of strange stones, Sunshine and Moonlight, have the most important role and significance for humans in the secret realm.
Something unexpected happened to Shicun today, and the people in charge of the village must be studying countermeasures in the ancestral hall at this moment.
Shi Zhongyu's house was not very far from the ancestral hall, so although he was sore all over, he arrived at the ancestral hall quickly.
Through the three doors of the ancestral hall, Shi Zhongyu heard the voices inside.
This is his talent [smart ears and eyesight], and his vision and hearing are extremely strong.
"I still think Shi Zhongyu should take responsibility. If the six Sunstones were broken, someone must be responsible for it."
A slightly rough voice said loudly.
Shi Zhongyu was startled and couldn't help but freeze in his steps.
He didn't expect to hear things related to him when he arrived. He wanted to hear what the people inside would say.
This voice was very familiar to him. It was Shi Wuzheng, the leader in charge of foreign affairs in the village.
This man was one of the three seventh-level mages in the village. He had a very bad relationship with Shi Zhongyu's father back then, so he always disliked Shi Zhongyu.
"Haha! I don't like hearing what you say.
I think this time Shi Zhongyu has done something good, and it’s a great one.
Today's storm was an accident. If there was no Jade in Stone, there would probably be very few of the two hundred and sixty-seven Sunstones left.
It was Shi Zhongyu who worked hard to protect most of the Sunstones.
For these Sunstones, Shi Zhongyu didn't even have time to protect his own body.
Just after the storm, Shi Zhongyu fainted. Not only did you not think about the reward, but you wanted to hold him accountable.
Hehe! Isn’t it because Shi Zhongyu’s father beat you several times back then?
It’s been more than ten years, and it’s so shameless to target other people’s children so carefully.”
A somewhat sharp voice refuted Shi Wuzheng's words in an orderly manner.
Shi Yuan, Shi Zhongxiu's father, was also a seventh-level mage, and he always looked down on the fussy Shi Wuzheng.
"You...are talking nonsense. As the person who protects the Sunstone, Shi Zhongyu should be punished if he fails to guard the Sunstone.
Gong is merit, fault is fault, how can they be confused."
Shi Wuzheng defended somewhat angrily.
At this time, another woman's voice sounded.
"There are four people taking care of the Sunlight Stone every day. Why was there only Shi Zhongyu and the others?
If these three people were here, it would be impossible for them not to be able to protect even six Sunstones.
In my opinion, when the Sun Yao Stone was broken this time, the three people who deserved the most punishment should be Shizhu, Shi Zhongcheng, and Shi Juan.
The jade in the stone deserves a heavy reward for its merits and demerits!"
