Chapter 47

Time is like rain, tick-tock.

Lu Ran followed the Moon-Watcher patrol team, piercing through the jurisdiction again and again, fighting north and south.

From street-side storefronts to idle wasteland.

From residential buildings with lights to the dilapidated and abandoned Wu Lie Riverside residential area...

This team's figure was everywhere.

"Hehe..."

Lu Ran's chest heaved violently, panting heavily, as he killed his way back to Wu Lie Riverside with the crowd again.

Rainwater slid down his face along his hair.

Under this high-intensity combat, whether wearing a raincoat or not really made no difference.

"Tired?"

Deng Yuxiang, carrying a blade still dripping with blood, stepped over the cold corpses of demons and came to Lu Ran.

"No, not tired." Lu Ran panted, sitting on the wet ground.

"Your mouth is tough." Deng Yuxiang said, but her beautiful eyes couldn't hide the look of appreciation.

"Lu Xiao Lu Lu, is your divine power bead's energy reserve still enough?" Sun Zhengfang stood in front of the demon corpses and asked loudly.

Lu Ran nodded.

His tiredness was physical, not a depletion of divine power.

This team took good care of him; the divine power bead Lu Ran wore around his neck had never seen its energy bottom out.

Come to think of it, the physical fitness of this group of Moon-Watchers was too explosive; they simply weren't human!

Especially Deng Yuxiang!

She carried a long and heavy large horse-chopping blade, shuttling back and forth, killing until the sky and earth went dark.

For every 100 meters Lu Ran ran, she probably had to run 500 meters!

Look at her calm and composed appearance now; she's even more of a sweat-blood horse than a sweat-blood horse!

I'm afraid horses don't have this kind of endurance, right?

"It's 11:01, hang in there." From behind came Wei Long's voice.

"Only 11 o'clock?" Lu Ran's expression was stunned.

How come it feels like a long, long time has passed...

Deng Yuxiang knelt on one knee, looking at Lu Ran's face: "Bear with it, just four more hours."

Three o'clock in the morning is a node; the momentum of demon invasion will drop sharply until they no longer descend.

Not far away, Sun Zhengfang's voice came again: "If Lu Xiao Lu Lu can't hold on, then forget it.

In a while, we'll find a household, send Lu Xiao Lu Lu in, and the additional test will end here."

"Don't, Uncle Sun!" Lu Ran said hurriedly, "Don't kick me away!"

Although he was really tired, his heart was incredibly satisfied!

Killing all the way here, Lu Ran had captured many demon souls through the Moon-Watcher team.

That was called lining his own pockets!

Simply beautiful~

Sun Zhengfang smiled: "You're tired, don't force yourself. I'll find you a safe place, you rest.

By the way, that auto repair shop is opened by your classmate's family, why don't you go to her house for half the night?"

Lu Ran was immediately anxious: "I ran from east to west, from south to north with you!

The millstone hasn't been removed yet, why kill the donkey?

No! I'm not leaving, I want to see Captain Ge!

I have sweated for the Moon-Watchers, I have bled for Rain Alley City!"

"Hahahaha~" Deng Yuxiang laughed, reaching out her finger to flick Lu Ran's hood brim lightly, "Your Uncle Sun is scaring you..."

Before she finished speaking, Deng Yuxiang and Lu Ran turned their heads at the same time, looking diagonally upward.

Such a scene made Wei Hu's expression stunned, and also made Wei Long envious.

The body language of this pair of man and woman was very obvious—enemy attack!

As a North Wind believer, it's normal for Deng Yuxiang to be able to detect the enemy's location in advance.

But Lu Ran, who is low in strength, can also do it?

The Wei brothers looked in the direction they were looking, only to see energy surging in mid-air, and a thin, long vicious dog rapidly taking shape.

"Woof~"

The roar instantly turned into a whimper; as soon as the vicious dog appeared, it was met with a series of wind blades!

Dare to show yourself?

Show yourself and be killed in seconds!

Deng Yuxiang lowered her palm, and the vicious dog was decapitated and fell to the ground.

Poor thin dog...

Lu Ran was still murmuring in his heart when he suddenly noticed something unusual.

In his mind, inside the demon statue garden, that huge Corrupt Statue belonging to the Vicious Dog clan had its dog eyes glowing with a faint luster again.

Lu Ran faintly had a feeling.

It seems he can cast the Corrupt Technique 'Vicious Teeth'?

Are the souls enough?

The Vicious Dog clan is indeed a relatively common demon.

Over the past few hours, the team had indeed killed many vicious dogs, including several River Realm vicious dogs.

Lu Ran's heart stirred, wanting to try the Corrupt Technique 'Vicious Teeth'.

But with so many Moon-Watchers around... um, forget it, let's play it safe first.

After all, this thing can't be explained clearly; it's better to test it in private.

"Rum-rum-rum"

"Roar!" Roaring and rumbling sounds sounded one after another.

Everyone stood in this dark and desolate land, looking far toward the brightly lit northern urban area.

Sun Zhengfang put away his joking heart, his expression serious: "It seems this vicious dog is not an isolated case, but a signal."

Deng Yuxiang stood up: "Indeed, the closer it gets to midnight, the frequency of demon descent will gradually reach its peak... eh?"

This was the second time her speech had been interrupted.

"Meow!!"

The sudden sharp cry made everyone's heart panic!

What rare demon has descended this time?

Lu Ran's expression changed slightly!

Cat?

Cat cry?!

He hurriedly climbed up and looked in the direction of the cry.

In the eyes of the Wei brothers, Lu Ran's body energy was fluctuating violently, obviously a bit panicked.

In reality, it was not!

The reason Lu Ran's divine power surged was that he had turned the Corrupt Technique 'Corrupt Knowledge' to the maximum.

His pair of pitch-black eyes pierced through the night curtain and rain curtain, searching for that long-lost figure.

Could it be it?

Could it be that little tabby cat?

"Go take a look!" Sun Zhengfang ordered.

"Yes!" Deng Yuxiang stepped lightly, her figure suddenly shuttling away.

"Wait for me." Mist surged under Lu Ran's feet, and his whole body shot out.

"Lu Ran?"

"Slow down, Lu Ran!" The Wei brothers hurriedly followed.

Lu Ran followed Deng Yuxiang's figure straight to a residential building.

He saw the dilapidated unit door wide open, like a pitch-black ghost gate.

"Woo-ya-ya~"

In the pitch-black stairwell, strange cries faintly came.

Among them was also a child's eerie laughter.

Lu Ran:!!!

His hair stood on end!

If he heard a child's laughter during the day or in a park, Lu Ran wouldn't have such a big reaction.

The problem is, it's eleven o'clock at night!

This is a long-abandoned residential complex; in this pitch-black stairwell, there's a child's laughter?

This...

"It might be a Ghost Talisman Doll."

Deng Yuxiang slammed the Night Cutter into the ground and walked into the stairwell with big strides.

The space in the stairwell was narrow, and the Night Cutter obviously couldn't be used.

Deng Yuxiang summoned a wind blade out of thin air, held it in her hand, and the headlamp she wore on her forehead also played a role, shining a beam of light into the dark stairwell.

Lu Ran gripped the Xiaguang Blade tightly and followed closely behind.

Immediately, the sound of rain was isolated outside, and the dead-silent stairwell became even more eerie.

Sniff~

Lu Ran twitched his nose, ghost energy!

A considerable number of demon races carry a special scent on them.

How should I describe it specifically...

It's very much like the scent of moldy walls in a dark and damp basement.

Lu Ran is very familiar with this, because there is a demon statue garden in his mind; every time he dreams of entering the garden, he can smell it.

"Hee hee~"

Just as they climbed to the third floor, they heard a child's laughter coming from above, making people's hair stand on end.

Under the illumination of the headlamp beam, a small head suddenly poked out from the stairwell above.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed.

It was a little girl, only three or four years old.

From this angle, Lu Ran couldn't see her clothes, but he could see she was wearing a tiger-head hat.

The style of the hat was very festive, looking exactly like the kind of lion head used during folk lion dances.

Why say this is a tiger-head hat and not a lion-head hat?

Because the character "King" was embroidered on the tiger's head.

And the thing stuck under the "King" character was not cute at all!

A yellow talisman paper was stuck there!

Twisted talisman runes were drawn on it, slightly covering the little girl's face.

"Hoo~"

The little girl blew a breath playfully.

The yellow talisman paper covering her face was blown up, revealing her true appearance.

She actually looked quite cute?

Demon race: Ghost Talisman Doll!

"Hee hee~"

The Ghost Talisman Doll gripped the handrail with her small hands, squatted down, and looked at the few people with a giggle.

"Baby." Deng Yuxiang suddenly spoke.

Her voice was very gentle, making Lu Ran stunned for a moment, almost answering.

"Come, let sister hug you."

Deng Yuxiang spoke softly, carrying her blade and walking upward.

"Hmm?" The Ghost Talisman Doll tilted her little head, and the yellow talisman paper stuck in front of her hat was blown up again.

"Be good." Deng Yuxiang comforted the Ghost Talisman Doll, "Don't be naughty, don't blow... don't!"

Deng Yuxiang suddenly raised her voice, but still failed to stop the naughty little thing.

The yellow talisman paper stuck to the hat was finally blown off.

In an instant, the hat inexplicably ignited, and the tiger-head hat was burned to ashes.

The Ghost Talisman Doll's little face instantly turned deathly pale!

Even more terrifyingly, her eyeballs also disappeared!

Only two pitch-black eye sockets remained, looking particularly horrifying.

It's like a transformation!

"Hehe~"

The Ghost Talisman Doll revealed an eerie smile, her pitch-black eye sockets "looking" at the few people.

"Dare to disobey?" Deng Yuxiang's expression turned cold, and she also transformed.

From a gentle big sister, she turned into a ruthless Great Nightmare.

She strode with her long legs, crossing two or three steps at a time, and rushed up with her blade!

Sniff~

Lu Ran twitched his nose, then turned to look behind and below: "There seems to be another one!"

Sun Zhengfang, who was bringing up the rear, couldn't help but frown!

He immediately released branches from his palm, not questioning Lu Ran's judgment.

Since Lu Ran joined the team, he had proven his powerful perception again and again.

Sure enough!

At the corner of the stairwell below, another "little tiger" poked its head out.

It was a little boy, looking curious, looking up at the few people.

And the yellow talisman paper stuck to his tiger-head hat also drifted down quietly...

Asking for some monthly tickets~
