Victor was convinced that the water spell on his body had not disappeared before he was attacked by the demon transformed from the bush, but it seemed that they could be seen by both the bush and the black thing on the hill.
This is a very dangerous situation. Now the two of them are in an army of evil spirits. Once attacked, there is almost no possibility of survival.
However, since the demons transformed by all things appeared, none of them attacked them. They just gathered around the black thing, twisting and roaring, as if they were performing a ritual.
And before the ceremony is over, these things will not act without permission.
Victor saw the clues and knew that it would be more and more dangerous if he hesitated any longer, so he tapped Klein on the shoulder.
Klein was very shrewd and instantly understood what Victor meant. The two of them carefully avoided the demons and retreated back.
During this period, Victor's eyes were always open, observing the qi around him and the qi on the demons.
Similar to the high priest in Akkad, the energy of all the demons who appeared were gathering towards the black existence on the hill...
Oh no, that's not right!
Victor observed again and found that on the contrary, the truth was that the mysterious creature on the hill was spreading its own energy and affecting the surrounding environment.
There is a huge range, and all objects within this range will transform into strange evil spirits after being affected by this energy.
They must be vigilant to stay away from the spread of the creature, so as to ensure that the surroundings are safe.
Victor applied the Yang Talisman to himself and Klein to improve their luck, and after nervously avoiding it for half an hour, they finally stayed away from this terrifying area.
Seeing Victor suddenly running away, Klein also reacted and followed him all the way to escape.
As soon as he ran two to three hundred meters, Victor was out of breath.
The two found a cave to take shelter and lay down to rest.
Far away from the sheep-like black creature, the light on the treetops gradually became clearer.
Klein felt that it was not safe here, but his physical condition was not much better, so he suggested that Victor take a rest and leave immediately.
"We have to run further."
"I know...but we are all too tired." Victor replied.
Klein frowned: "Your weakness does not match your age."
"It's just each other..."
Victor didn't give him a good look. He originally wanted to adjust his breathing, but Klein next to him showed an extremely serious expression and said such a thing.
"Do you think that was Humbaba just now?"
Victor was puzzled: "If I don't even know about the 'foreign nobles' who have lived here for a month, will I still know?"
Klein did not delve into his ridicule and continued: "I think things are very strange. That thing is what I imagined... Oh no, it doesn't match the description of Humbaba that I have seen. It looks like... another one
Plant something.”
Another thing? Victor looked at him doubtfully.
"Yes, although Humbaba is a man-eating devil in the legend of the Uruk Dynasty, his appearance cannot be like that. The thing with sheep's hooves and horns looks more like the devil described in our time, so... I thought of it.
A thing that is very close to the monster just now."
Victor suddenly became interested: "What is it?"
"Wild Hunt!" Klein explained hurriedly, "That is a legend spread in the north of Rymanland. There are similar stories among various ethnic groups. Although the details are different, they can be roughly classified into: night, patrol, leader,
demon."
"I don't understand." Victor shook his head.
Klein swallowed: "Imagine that after night falls, there is a terrible creature in the forest where you can't see anything. All the vegetation will wither wherever it passes, and the corpses buried under the ground it steps on will crawl out one after another.
When it turns into a ghoul, the statues it passes by will come alive and become demons, and the trees it touches will turn into bloodthirsty goblins... These terrifying night creatures will follow behind it, marching together in the night, and all witnesses will
Everyone will be swallowed up by this dark force, and no one can come back alive to tell its legend... It is the Midnight Marcher, bringing natural disasters, war and death..."
etc!
Victor interrupted: "No one can come back alive, so who recorded its story?"
Klein was speechless for a moment, and Victor saw the light on his face suddenly dim. He immediately became vigilant and looked outside the cave.
The light outside the tree canopy was blocked, and the black fog had spread here.
Victor was just about to get up and continue to escape, but in the next moment, a big hand suddenly came out of the ground and hit the two of them.
Klein exclaimed and ran out of the cave quickly, followed closely by Victor.
However, as soon as they left the cave, a vine wrapped around Klein's ankle and dragged him deeper into the forest.
Klein screamed repeatedly and kept asking Victor for help.
"Help me!"
Victor gritted his teeth, opened the scene door, and cast a fire spell towards the location of the rattan.
The destructive power of Samadhi True Fire is very strong, and objects touched by it will be annihilated instantly.
However, the vines that entangled Klein were thin, long, and constantly twisting, making it very difficult for Victor to hit.
Coupled with the fact that the flame could not expand the fire, by the time Victor finally burned down the vine, Klein was almost fifty meters away from him.
Damn...
Victor cursed secretly, and when he saw the demon army in the black mist, it had already begun to move and surrounded Klein.
The ceremony has ended, and the demonic army of the Wild Hunt has begun its march.
It's not night now, so why is it called a night marching army?
This joking thought only appeared for a moment before Victor made a judgment and decisively gave up on Klein.
It's too late now. If you try to save him, you may end up dying yourself.
But now that Victor's Jingmen was activated and his body was getting hotter and hotter, he could only give up the Jingmen for the time being, switch to the Life Gate, and then get away from the terrifying black mist as quickly as possible.
The water spell has no effect, and Victor can only escape the danger in this way.
However, the Shengmen cannot be activated for a long time, otherwise he will lose strength and faint.
So, when he ran a hundred or two hundred meters again, he unlocked the door and held on to the tree trunk to prevent himself from fainting.
"How on earth did those demons see me?"
Victor was puzzled.
He kept panting, but the demon behind him was still advancing, and it did not speed up, but moved forward at a neat and even speed.
Victor looked ahead and could vaguely feel the yellow sand and the heat wave of the desert. He must be leaving this cedar forest soon.
But isn’t there the city of Akkad beyond the cedar forest?
If those evil spirits come out of the cedar forest, are they trying to attack Akkad?
Victor took a deep breath and saw through their purpose.
And just when he took a deep breath, he suddenly figured out something.
