Because the evil spirits appeared at night, Wu Zhu of Shiniu Village quickly commanded the villagers here to make room for Lu Chen and others.
This is to allow them to recharge their batteries and wait for the battle at night.
However, when he closed his eyes to rest, Lu Chen turned around a little and couldn't fall asleep.
"This feeling is an intuitive warning. Could it be that the evil spirit doesn't come at night and also appears at dusk?"
The intuitive warning made Lu Chen not dare to neglect. He simply stopped resting and walked out the door with a long sword in hand.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
There was someone guarding Lu Chen outside his house, and all his guards were resting outside the door.
Seeing them, Lu Chen also reminded them.
"Be careful, this evil spirit is likely to appear at dusk."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, Lu Chen prepared to patrol the village alone.
However, as soon as he took action, a dozen people immediately surrounded Lu Chen.
Those are all Lu Chen's subordinates who are loyal to Lu Chen, and they will not let Lu Chen go out alone.
Lu Chen did not refuse, but took them on a tour in the village.
Most of the barbarian villages were dilapidated, and there was nothing attractive about them. However, while walking, Lu Chen also discovered that most of the villagers in Shiniu Village were exhausted, looked ugly, and lacked any vitality.
And this also made Ya who was following Lu Chen sigh.
"When evil spirits invade us, the worst sufferers are ordinary villagers."
"So find out the evil spirit quickly. As long as the evil spirit is eliminated, the village can return to normal."
With this idea in mind, Lu Chen walked along the village.
However, what made Lu Chen helpless was that when he was walking, he could feel something was wrong, but it seemed that the evil spirit had stayed in the village for a long time. Therefore, Lu Chen felt that the whole village was a little strange.
But there were so many weird things that he couldn't find any trace of evil spirits at all.
"Next time, I need to find and track skills."
Lu Chen, who was thinking like this, saw that he couldn't find anything, so he had no choice but to go back.
When Lu Chen returned to the vicinity of the Sky Whale, Xie had already gathered his troops.
"Your Highness, you came just in time, did you find anything?"
"I can feel the evil spirit, but the evil spirit seems to have stayed in the village for a long time. This village is full of evil spirits, and I can't find anything."
No need to be embarrassed, Lu Chen didn't hold on because he couldn't find it, and the hideous man also nodded: "I also patrolled the village. The evil atmosphere here is indeed very strong, but the traces of the evil spirit are hard to find.
"
Just as the two of them were organizing their team and talking, the sky turned completely dark.
And when the sun's rays completely disappeared, before Lu Chen and others could patrol, a shrill scream suddenly sounded in the distance.
"There is a situation."
The sudden scream caused Lu Chen and Xie to rush forward quickly, and the soldiers behind them also rushed forward.
Shiniu Village is not big, and Lu Chen and others are also very fast. In just one minute, Lu Chen and others rushed to the place where the scream occurred.
However, after seeing the situation there, Lu Chen's face turned a little ugly, and so did Xie, who had come first.
There, a barbarian was disemboweled and killed on the ground. Blood flowed freely on the ground, but there was no one around him.
"It's too late."
Unwilling to give up, Lu Chen asked his guards to spread out and search the surrounding area for a hundred meters. However, all this was in vain, and there was no trace of the evil spirit at all.
Xie, on the other hand, lay down on the corpse and observed it carefully.
After a while, he stood up again and already made some discoveries.
"This tribesman's belly has turned black and rotted. The evil spirit has the ability to cause the corpse to decay quickly."
The evil spirits have weird abilities, some can make people bleed, and some can control the beating of the heart. Now, the corpses are allowed to rot quickly, without Lu Chen being surprised at all.
However, Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable knowing that there was an evil spirit in the village, but he couldn't find it.
"Fuck, how long will it take to play hide and seek like this?"
"Calm down, most evil spirits are weird. We will encounter many evil spirits like this in the future."
"I understand, continue..."
"Ah, don't come here, help!!!"
Just as Lu Chen was about to continue patrolling with others, there was another shrill scream.
Looking at each other, the two of them rushed towards the direction of the scream again.
Soon, the two of them rushed to a house, and Lu Chen, who was impulsive, saw the house and knocked down the door without any pause.
However, even if Lu Chen did this, he could not prevent the death of his clan members.
After entering the door, Lu Chen found that another clan member died tragically here, and blood stains spread in the room.
But there was nothing strange about the place where Lu Chen and others found it.
"Let him run away again."
Then, in just three hours, five screams were heard in succession.
After those voices sounded, Lu Chen and Xie would arrive in the shortest possible time. Even Quartz dragged his exhausted body and ran around with Lu Chen and the others.
But such actions have no effect.
Lu Chen, they couldn't find any traces. It was as if those tribesmen had committed suicide. There were no other traces except severe decomposition in their bodies.
In fact, many barbarians strangled themselves to death, which made it impossible for Lu Chen and the others to find any trace of evil spirits.
As for Xie, he was also twitching his nose crazily. He seemed to have the ability to smell, and could even smell evil spirits. Therefore, the royal court sent him here.
However, unlike the evil spirits we had dealt with in the past, the entire village was filled with evil spirits, which made it impossible for the hideous sense of smell to perform meritorious deeds.
When the seventh scream sounded, Lu Chen, who was running wildly, stopped immediately.
"No, if this continues, we won't be able to protect the barbarians, and the barbarians who come for support will slowly collapse."
Lu Chen wasn't exaggerating. People kept dying tragically, but the murderer could not be found. This atmosphere was too depressing.
The barbarians are brave and dare to fight against powerful monsters, but no matter how brave they are, if they cannot find the enemy, the fighting spirit in their hearts will slowly fade away.
However, once the fighting spirit retreats, the death of the tribesmen cannot be avoided, which makes many barbarians feel fear in their hearts, and they even dare not close their eyes at night.
The fear of dying at any time made them try to keep their eyes open and stare at everything around them, but this was too exhausting.
It was also because of this that Lu Chen saw so many barbarians with dull eyes and bloodshot eyes during the day.
While Lu Chen was thinking, some barbarians started shouting angrily.
"Xie Sui, I'm right here, kill me."
"If your grandfather doesn't run away, do you dare to fight me head-on?"
"Come here, Xie Sui."
…
When Lu Chen was patrolling, he had already seen many barbarians shouting to attract the evil spirits' attention.
This method is stupid and can only be done by barbarians.
In addition to shouting angrily, there were also some barbarians who went completely crazy, staring at everything in front of them with the desire to attack.
Even among the crazy crowd, Lu Chen also saw the soldiers who came to support him from the royal court. There were already many soldiers who could not bear the pressure.
This made Lu Chen worried, and Xie also agreed with Lu Chen's words.
"This is indeed not possible, but can you find the evil spirit?"
"There is no way at the moment, but we can gather all the other barbarians together. If they are scattered like this, we will not be able to protect them."
