Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Especially now there is no need to start a war immediately, we just need to protect the few people in the house, so it is most appropriate to let Manying come.

"There really are some monsters here, Ye Zi, you don't want me to rest tonight, right?"

Zhao Manying smiled and went straight to the "back door" of the thatched hut. She raised her shield and looked around vigilantly.

All you can hear from the beginning to the end is the sound, which makes it easier for you to feel oppressive than a regular boss.

But for Zhao Manying and Ye Qing, this trick was really too much for them to appreciate.

So it is not enough to just rely on this kind of thing to bring fear to them.

"Sry, but I'm also worried that I can't protect those two people in this situation. The magic eye hasn't seen the target yet. I suspect this is more like some kind of mechanism in the village."

Ye Qing apologized embarrassedly. Zhao Manying didn't call him down suddenly yesterday, and it wasn't because of this kind of thing.

But she also had a clear judgment of the current situation and must not let Miss Yun and the others go out at this time.

If you go out and check the situation yourself, you might accidentally let the enemy in.

As in all traditional Eastern horror stories, the separation of the team at this time often means the destruction of the whole team.

"coming!"

While Ye Qing was still looking around, the other party actually appeared in front of them.

To be precise, that thing was knocking on other people's doors.

Boom, boom, boom, boom

The same knocking rhythm, the same knocking sound, there was no doubt that it was coming from that figure.

Through the effect of the magic eye, Ye Qing also noticed the situation around the figure.

"What the hell is this..."

The magic eye itself has the ability to see in the dark, but at this moment, through the observation of the magic eye, the other party is still completely black.

So this thing is completely black?

Ye Qing suddenly got goose bumps. Now he was looking at a shadow knocking on the door, and he was afraid that it would hit his face in the next second.

That classic face-jumping kill in horror movies is like this, you see the general appearance first, and then it suddenly jumps in and scares you.

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Qing couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

But after a series of knocks on the door, the black shadow did not jump to his face. Instead, its movements gradually slowed down, and then it turned around and walked towards another house.

"Are we going to search them one by one? I think I can understand why the villagers have quieted down so early."

Through shared vision, Zhao Manying naturally noticed the actions of the black shadow and also had some guesses about the situation when it entered the village.

I saw the black shadow come to a door again, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door continuously.

"Hey, Manying, don't jump to conclusions. Pay attention to the area around that shadow."

It was when the dark shadow walked past the fence that Ye Qing discovered this unusual scene.

Just as he passed by the doghouse, the dog, which was already huddled and trembling inside, suddenly became motionless.

After slightly zooming out, there is no need to say more about what this dog is like.

The entire body had become stiff, and it didn't look like an animal that had just died. Ye Qing could even see that the dog's body was beginning to rot and weather.

"Is this a time acceleration type ability?"

Zhao Manying couldn't help but feel a little worried. This was the kind of enemy she was most unable to deal with.

Whether it is a heavy warrior or a berserker, the battle rhythm itself is actually quite fixed, which is nothing more than interspersing various skills with the classic three-pronged approach.

Therefore, once you encounter an enemy that can accelerate time, some skills that require prediction when reading the bar or interruption in advance will "fail", and the clumsy warriors will become wooden stakes to be beaten.

"No, if time is accelerated, then why aren't the surrounding fences and wooden houses affected? Only the living creatures are affected."

Ye Qing shook her head. These details made her more certain that the black shadow's ability was not to accelerate time.

And simply because of the acceleration of time, why did the dog's body still retain its dry bones and remaining flesh after weathering, instead of completely turning into ashes?

The ground beneath my feet was dry and cracked, with no signs of natural circulation, but the wooden houses and nests nearby remained unchanged.

This is so strange, there must be something I have overlooked.

"It doesn't look like it has any intention to attack? Is it just knocking on the door, or does it have some other meaning?"

Zhao Manying was trying her best to recall the folk stories she had heard, and even opened a search engine to search for keywords on the spot, but she couldn't find any matching ones for a while.

And judging from the fact that every household kept their doors shut and kept silent, it seemed that not responding to it would be possible to avoid its approach.

Such an action actually reminded Ye Qing of the so-called vampires and demons in the West.

As long as you don't "invite" it in, it can only stay outside the door helplessly, and all your sweet words will be of no effect.

"The ability to influence living things seems to be constant. Knocking on the door and entering the door should be a restriction. Even if they come over, we should not answer them."

Fortunately, when the sun just set, Ye Qing had already covered the surrounding windows, so there shouldn't be anything missed.

They also unconsciously slowed down their breathing, quietly waiting for the dark shadows to knock on the doors one by one.

On the main team's side, the players had finally managed to repel the demon soldiers in front of them. They were now hiding under the cliff to reorganize the team and take a short rest.

The bonfire has been lit, and many players are unable to move at this moment and can only "sit here as punishment".

"What a miscalculation. I didn't expect that the damage from these explosions could not be treated."

Wu Yonghe circled around and returned to his team. At this moment, at least 30% of the team's players were unable to move due to the attack.

They still have to wait at least three hours in real time before they can receive treatment, especially those players who have been crippled. Many of them simply log off and rest.

"Not being able to treat is not a big deal, the key is the NPC over there..."

Gao Yu sighed and motioned Wu Yonghe to look in the direction of Yuan Lao and others.

In the previous attack, the carriage had already been blown to pieces, and the skinny prince naturally appeared in front of everyone.

If it weren't for Old Yuan's desperate protection, he would have died in the attack.

"These NPCs are so mean! They even use the players as human shields. If I had known this, I would have pinned them all to the ground and beaten them!"

Compared to the helplessness of the other two, Li Yue was staring at the group of cultivators with burning anger.

Just as she said, these immortal cultivators, seeing that the situation was not good, actually relied on some special skills to forcibly grab the players in front of them to use as shields.

Gao Yu had suffered a disaster just now and was almost killed by the joint attack of the demon soldiers.

Of course, Gao Yu simply returned the cultivator's elbow, but unexpectedly, he knocked the cultivator to the ground.

"This group of people are not as strong as they look. Although they have some strange skills, it is not difficult to defeat them."

Wu Yonghe's face was calm, but he said words that could make all the cultivators attack him.

After a brief fight, he also discovered the weaknesses of these cultivators.

When the demon soldiers got close to them, the flying swords of these immortal cultivators were often unable to cope with so many enemies, and those with poorer control could only retreat repeatedly.

"I just counted. The old guy in the lead can control five swords, the one with a black hairband can control three, and the one with a white hairband can control one or two. So what do you say? Move on?"

Gao Yu lowered his head, recalling what had happened in the battle just now. He already had a feasible plan in his mind.

If nothing else, it would take at least two black-haired cultivators to stop his attack.

If the three of them join forces, it should not be a problem to take down these ordinary cultivators in an instant.

"The attackers' main target is the prince. Except for the old man, no one among the immortal cultivators pays attention to the prince. Let's wait and see. Don't be anxious..."

Chapter 16 Beheading

ps: I am very sorry that the update this month has been delayed for a long time. Thank you all readers for your tips. There will be more updates until the 30th orz

Wu Yonghe's eyes were also cold; the sudden incident that had just happened had made him extremely alert.

As a professional player, it was the first time that he was so worried about being killed by NPC in battle.

Not only do those demon soldiers have high attributes, their skills also seem to be specifically designed for players.

Silence, imprisonment, deceleration, and high defense reduction after the explosion are simply excellent control skills if used in team battles.

But in the battle between players and NPCs, it would be a nightmare if this thing fell on the players' heads.

"Our main goal is just to reach the Imperial City, and judging from the current situation, we have somewhat underestimated the danger and overestimated the strength of our own people."

Gao Yu rubbed his forehead. The current situation was really not optimistic.

Although the players who arrived first have certain strength, not all of them are combat players, and there are even quite a few life professionals.

And this group of immortal cultivators were not as strong as they looked. The flying swords were only powerful the first time they struck, while the rest of the time they were just like scraping.

In addition, given the fear of death in the way these people act, the players are probably just meat shields for them to consume.

"No wonder this is the beginning of a legendary quest. What's coming next may be even more terrifying than the trip to the Orc Highlands..."

Li Yue swallowed with lingering fear. On the way to the Orc Highlands, she was frightened to death by the endless snakes, insects, rats and ants.

The key point is that there are some enlarged versions of spiders and other things. No wonder Li Yue feels unacceptable.

"If the situation continues to be this bad..."

Wu Yonghe sat back next to the two of them and began to take out some auxiliary props to treat the injuries.

Although he doesn't think he is neutral good, if necessary, it's no problem for him to be chaotic evil.

But what they didn't know was that Ying Chu, who had just attacked them, was now in the woods, directing the demon soldiers to carry various siege weapons.

Catapult, Explosive Crossbow, Heavy Bow...

The demon soldiers, who had no perception to begin with, didn't care about weight at all. Their strength was enough to easily control these weapons, so they just needed some guidance from Ying Chu.

Ying Chu himself did not suffer any serious injuries, and he led the team to occupy the high ground quite calmly.

"Brother, everything has been arranged over there."

Just as he was watching the demon soldiers rushing upwards, a figure in a light yellow robe and a silver mask appeared beside him.

The soft voice undoubtedly revealed the gender of the person involved. Even though one could not see the face beneath the silver mask, one could still imagine her beauty.

"Very good. Remember to retreat immediately if you fail to hit the target. Don't fight too long."

Ying Chu nodded. Standing among the trees at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

On the night he returned more than ten years ago, he was chased into this forest. The same full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the same cold mountain breeze was blowing past him.

The girl nodded, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped.

"Sister-in-law... don't you need me to keep an eye on her? After all, that village is being watched by Tai Sui."

The eyes beneath the silver mask revealed worry. Unlike Ying Chu's black eyes, the girl's other eye looked as if it had lost its color.

"No need. Others don't dare to touch the earth on Tai Sui's head. I want to see if Tai Sui dares to touch the earth on that person's head~"

Ying Chu laughed loudly. He had fought with Ye Qing personally and experienced the power of the Sword of Light personally.

Not to mention Tai Sui, even if that thing came, it wouldn't be her opponent, right?

At this moment, Ying Chu found himself unexpectedly relaxed.

It was like being freed from years of constraints and being able to do whatever he wanted.

Probably since he killed the lackeys of his in-laws more than ten years ago, Ying Chu never thought that revenge many years later would be so "easy".

"Yes, then I will go ahead."

The girl nodded, and then suddenly disappeared in front of Ying Chu, without even leaving a trace of where she was standing.

"Hey, it's time to start the second round, you lackeys..."

After the girl left, Ying Chu rushed towards the mountain with a sneer, driving the demon soldiers to gather their troops to avoid being discovered by the main team at the foot of the cliff in the distance.

Back to Ye Qing's side, after waiting for a long time, they finally saw the black shadow walking towards them.

It was as if all the houses in the village had been knocked on before it was the turn of the house in the corner.

Xiao Gu was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware that something was approaching the room.

In order to prevent him from being frightened, Zhao Manying went over in advance to wake Xiao Gu up first.
