Chapter 65: Demon Night Parade
Chapter 65: Demon Night Parade
"Done puking?"
"Huh?" Qian Hao, covered in blood, turned to look behind him.
He saw the female team leader, Lin Yue, staring at him expressionlessly.
"Too many wolves, too little meat!" Qian Hao inwardly thought things were not looking good, and quickly made an excuse, "There were only six or seven Blood Plague Dogs in total.
Team Leader, I'm a Green Phoenix follower, and I don't have any long-range Divine Techniques. I couldn't get to them!"
Lin Yue was also a Green Phoenix follower, and in a sense, Qian Hao was her junior fellow disciple.
Perhaps it was for this reason that she was not polite to Qian Hao.
Lin Yue coldly said, "Everyone else is working hard to contribute to the team, and you're here puking blood."
Qian Hao: "..."
Looking at the stuttering little fatty, Lin Yue suddenly became infuriated, "Now that the battle is over, what should you be doing?"
"Ah!" Qian Hao hurriedly took a step forward, "Who's injured? Quick, I'm here!"
"Me." Hu Dingtian uttered a single word.
Qian Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, his hands glowing with a green light.
Green Phoenix Divine Technique - Green Phoenix Holy Light!
This technique could heal wounds.
After reaching a higher grade, it could even replenish the target's vitality.
Hu Dingtian said he was injured, but in reality, it was just a minor scrape on his palm when he fell to the ground.
Qian Hao grasped Hu Dingtian's hand, and the other hand emitted a glow, illuminating the wound.
"Clean up the battlefield." Lin Yue's attitude softened as she looked at everyone.
The students immediately followed the order and began cleaning up the battlefield.
The demons' magic crystals were, of course, to be handed over to the Moon Gazers' forces.
However, everyone could use Divine Energy Orbs to absorb the demons' bones and extract energy from them.
"Lu Ran, are you injured?" Qian Hao asked after treating one person and quickly running over.
Lu Ran held a Divine Energy Orb in one hand and pressed it against the Blood Plague Dog, "No."
But Qian Hao knelt down, "Where are you hurt? Let me see."
Lu Ran: "..."
To gain points, you're really good at making things up, aren't you?
"Wuuu~~"
A deep alarm suddenly rang out, echoing through the small city.
Such an unexpected sound startled everyone!
The joy of their recent victory instantly vanished.
It was common knowledge that at this point in time, the war between humans and demons had already begun.
Citizens spent their nights in shelters and at home, praying before their shrines.
Believers fought with all their might, battling the demon clan without respite.
Everyone was already on high alert, so what was the point of this unsettling alarm? The answer is, there is!
The alarm during the battle signified an even greater crisis!
The following two conditions, if either one is met, will trigger the city's alarm:
1. Demon Lord's Descent: A Riverine Realm or higher-level demon has appeared in the city! It is well-known that Riverine Realm demons can potentially cause devastating damage to humans and cities.
2. Demon Night Parade.
Here, "many" does not refer to the variety of demons but rather to a single type of demon appearing in large numbers!
Usually, on the fifteenth night, demons that invade human settlements appear randomly.
Whether it's the number of demons, their power, or their location, everything is random.
However, there is another phenomenon: a group of demons, having identified a human settlement, appears in large numbers.
It's as if they are organized and disciplined.
This is what is known as the "Demon Night Parade."
No one knows why this phenomenon occurs.
Just as no one knows why demons invade on the fifteenth night.
It's worth mentioning that such events are not uncommon.
They almost always happen on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
However, the Xia region is vast, and there are numerous human settlements.
So, these sudden incidents, when spread out across cities, have a relatively lower probability of occurring.
"Which one?" Chang Ying's voice trembled as she looked at the male and female team leaders, "Which disaster?"
Jiang Ruyi remained calm, her mind unaffected by the atmosphere of panic:
"Alternating tones, Demon Night Parade!"
Indeed, the alarm didn't just sound a continuous low tone but alternated between short and long tones.
"Everyone, stop cleaning immediately.
"Zhang Feng's voice boomed, 'Now, follow me back to the school building!'"
The group, of course, had no objections and quickly followed the leader's pace.
As Lu Ran walked, he closed his eyes tightly and listened intently.
The alarm echoing through the city didn't require such focused attention.
What Lu Ran was eavesdropping on was the intelligence report coming from the hidden earpieces worn by Zhang Feng and Lin Yue, two members of the Moon Gazers.
Don't tell me it's the Paper Doll Clan?
It can't be the Paper Doll Clan!
If that's the case, I'll jump into the Yellow River and still won't be able to clear my name. Hmm?
The Demon Clan·Night Charm?
Lu Ran's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he clearly heard the word 'Night Charm'.
I'm going to curse you!
This is even worse than the Paper Doll Clan!
"Squeak~"
Suddenly, a familiar sound reached Lu Ran's ear.
It was the unique sound of iron chains rubbing against iron rods.
Lu Ran turned his head abruptly, startling Tian Tian.
His sudden movement immediately caught everyone's attention, and they followed Lu Ran's gaze towards the southeast corner of the playground.
The cold moonlight poured down.
It fell on the swing and also on a dark figure.
The figure was tall and graceful, standing on the swing board, gently swaying.
"Night Charm?"
"Night Charm!" Several students blurted out the word, their faces not looking good.
Obviously, this was a humanoid demon.
She wore a demon cloak and a hood, with a black veil hanging from the edge of the hood.
The tight demon cloak outlined her curvaceous and alluring figure.
To be honest, she looked too much like a human woman!
She was so lifelike that it was hard to tell the difference.
"This kind of demon... Demon Night Parade?" Bai Manni's heart was in her throat.
The Night Charm Clan was extremely dangerous!
Just how dangerous were they?
The lair of the Night Charm Clan's demon cave was even off-limits to outsiders!
Although human believers entering any demon cave for training was considered a life-threatening endeavor,
In the Night Charm Clan's demon cave, your life was truly on the line!
From this perspective, Lu Ran had little chance of activating this demon sculpture.
If they could kill enough demons tonight...
They might be able to make a profit?
It was worth knowing that this kind of demon was very rare and didn't often appear on the fifteenth night.
Fortunately, otherwise, the number of human casualties would have been much higher!
A phenomenon to note: the closer a demon's appearance is to that of a human, the rarer it tends to be.
For example, the Paper Doll Clan, the Ghost Talisman Dolls, and the Night Charm on the swing.
This theory wasn't 100% accurate, but it was generally true.
"Speed up!" Zhang Feng's voice was grave. "Follow Lin's team back to the school building, I'll cover the rear!"
As he spoke, another team of Moon Gazers rushed towards them.
The Night Charm Clan was very special; like the Paper Doll Clan, you couldn't judge their power level by their size.
Only when they took action would you know if they were Mist Realm, Stream Realm, River Realm, or the even more terrifying Riverine Realm.
However, the Night Charm before them shouldn't have reached the Riverine Realm.
Once they reached that level, even if the Night Charm stood still, they would exude a tremendous oppressive aura!
That overwhelming might and absolute dominance would be enough to make people tremble in body and spirit.
"Stop!"
Lin Yue suddenly braked, spreading her arms to block the students on both sides.
Just ahead on their path, a wave of energy surged.
A dark shadow appeared, its toes lightly touching the ground.
The exquisite hood, the mysterious veil, and the black demon cloak.
As she lowered her hand, energy surged in her palm, gripping a single-edged blade.
"Form a formation, engage the enemy!" The Moon Gazers who rushed to support them all had a slight change in expression and immediately adjusted their formation.
"Whoosh~"
The autumn wind blew, causing the hood and veil to dance lightly, lifting a corner of the black veil.
"Gulp," Lu Ran swallowed.
He had been using the Evil Perception Spell.
Lu Ran clearly saw her snow-white skin on her neck.
He also caught a glimpse of her slightly upturned lips.
In that mysterious smile,
There seemed to be a hint of playfulness.
