The screams that cut through the bloody night dissipated with the wind, and the surroundings returned to silent silence.
The three people on the ground did not think that the crisis would disappear. On the contrary, the longer the silence lasted, the more it showed how violent the storm was about to come.
The screams caused by the balloon exploding could be heard throughout half of the town, and maybe even further.
Jojo and Fran looked around nervously, looking for any corner where a monster might emerge.
Huh-huh-
A faint sound like breathing suddenly sounded in the empty land.
Lu Li suddenly raised his head.
Under the dark red clouds, a dark shadow was gradually getting bigger over the town.
"Do you know the entrance to the church basement?" Lu Li turned his head and asked Fran, who pursed his lips nervously.
"I know! Just when--"
"You guys run over there."
"What about you!" Qiaoqiao asked quickly.
"Delay time."
Lu Li raised his face and watched quietly as the black shadow grew larger and larger, and the sound of wings flapping like breathing came from above his head.
He untied Sequence 3 and Sequence 4 and handed them to Qiao Qiao: "Don't shoot unless necessary."
There was already an unsettling commotion coming from the streets.
Qiao Qiao's heart beat unsatisfactorily because of nervousness. She gave Lu Li a deep look and said, "Be safe!"
Picking up two psychic guns, Jojo and Fran turned around and rushed toward the church a hundred meters away.
The black shadow in the sky has completely revealed its outline, its fleshy wings spread out nearly ten meters, and the dark and ferocious giant roars towards it.
The chaos spread on the street, and faint sounds of gnawing and roaring could be heard. This was a good sign. The family members who came after hearing the sound started fighting because of their opposing stances.
Lu Li was not alone. Next to him, Anna slowly emerged with her toes a few centimeters above the ground.
"You should have run with them."
A cold aura surged around Anna's body, causing her silk dress and hair to dance.
"That way the family members will be led around the church. Even if they can't find us hiding in the basement, they will block the exit."
They could be trapped there, or enter the Shadowmarsh through possible passages.
Neither is a good choice.
"Then I can hold them back."
"The more conspicuous you are, the more likely you are to be discovered by evil gods." Lu Li replied.
This idea is equally bad. Evil gods and evil spirits have completely different power systems, so it's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker. However, two things are certain: evil gods are rarer, and evil spirits are absolutely unable to fight against evil gods.
Jojo and Fran had already run fifty meters away, and the Night Demon in the sky was approaching the end of Three-person Street.
It was a pity that it ignored the battle of the dependents on the ground and focused its attention on Lu Li standing outside.
"Can you beat it?" Lu Li picked up his holster, his palm hanging on the side of the holster, ready to pull it out and shoot at any time.
“You’ll know after you try it.”
Anna, whose hair was flying, looked increasingly cold, and her cold aura was gradually mixed with unsettling malice.
She raised her arms, connecting the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, with the palms of her hands facing, changing her flying attitude, gliding and swooping towards their Night Demon.
The rain of blood falling around him was disturbed and blown away by Anna's breath, but Lu Li keenly observed that the blood rain that was not affected by the breath fell on the air as if it were solid, winding and sliding down, and outlined a circle outside Anna's palm.
The handle is two to three meters long and cannot be seen.
The sharp whistling sound of the Night Demon piercing the air was almost ear-piercing as it approached within a hundred meters of Lu Li.
At the same time, Anna, who was ready, had scarlet eyes flashing and shouted.
"drink!"
Violent airflow instantly exploded around them. The clothes of Lu Li and Anna trembled. The drizzle within ten meters was expelled. In an instant, it fell even more violently, and was blocked from Anna's protection.
Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the night demon in the sky.
The head of the horned Night Demon instantly exploded with a blood hole like a fist, and large amounts of thick blood poured out from behind it.
It was penetrated directly by an invisible spear.
The Night Demon only let out a weak wail, lost its life, and arced down to the ground about ten meters away in front of Lu Li.
boom!
The Night Demon's huge and heavy body crashed into the bloody earth like a meteor, plowing out a ravine several meters long. The soft soil and sand thrown up by the ground vibration formed a curtain wall and attacked Lu Li.
But one meter away, they were all blocked, revealing a curved protective film.
As Anna removed her protection, the soil fell back into the ground.
The Night Demon a few meters away had no breath.
Anna looked at Lu Li, her shining eyes melting with ice, and she raised her head slightly: "How is it?"
"good."
Lu Li looked at Night Demon's body and suddenly raised his eyes to look into the sky.
Anna followed his gaze, and the smile after being praised disappeared and returned to being cold again.
The human-headed balloons made a comeback, taking advantage of the gap between them and the night demon to approach.
"Blow to the sky."
Lu Li's reminder sounded beside her. Anna understood and floated in front of Lu Li. She spread her right palm and lifted it slightly.
The violent air flow surged in front of him, sweeping up the blood rain and the balloon, flying backwards a hundred meters above, turning into black particles that could not be seen clearly.
They couldn't float down for a while.
After disposing of the human head balloon, Anna looked at the street dozens of meters away. The commotion in the street had not weakened, but it had not gotten close either - groups of dependent monsters were fighting fiercely there.
Anna turned to Lu Li and said, "They didn't pay attention to us. You can go back to the church now -"
"ah!!!"
Fran's terrified screams pierced the night sky, interrupting Anna's words.
Jojo and Fran, who ran a hundred meters away, were only forty or fifty meters away from the church, but they stopped and looked desperately at the church, or rather at the shadow of the swamp behind the church, further back.
Hundreds of six-legged monsters poured out of the low swamp like a tide. The dense and sparse sound was terrifying. They flooded the church and swarmed towards Jojo and Fran.
Anna regained her breath, but Lu Li suddenly held her hand.
"Wait a little longer." Lu Li whispered as he looked at the tide of six-legged monsters.
"We are going to die here!" Fran shouted in fear, having forgotten to escape.
Qiao Qiao bit her lip, raised her trembling hand holding the psychic gun, and aimed desperately at the densely packed six-legged monsters.
Fran closed his eyes. He thought he was going to die soon, but the noise was very close, but there was no severe pain. After a few seconds, Fran quietly opened one eye.
The tidal wave of six-legged monsters avoided them, as if they were avoiding the current on a reef, and crawled past him and Qiaoqiao.
Stunned by the scene before them, Jojo and Fran turned around in a daze.
Lu Li watched them pass him by, rushing to fight on the streets of Shadow Town.
A new change appeared. A six-legged monster crawling on four legs separated from the tide and crawled in front of Lu Li, holding something in its open palm.
The sculpture of an insect-like lower body and a beautiful female upper body stands in the palm of the six-legged monster's hand, emitting a mysterious dark purple light.
It is more lifelike than the wood carvings I have seen before.
