Campfire Shelter

Chapter 7 Strange Phenomena



"It's only a few hundred yuan a month, so there's really no need to risk your life."

Colin looked away and looked at one of the five fire pillars. Suddenly he thought of something and grabbed one.

It is about the same thickness as an adult's thigh, and it fits perfectly in the hand. There is a blood-red spar the size of a human head inlaid on the top, and it is this blood-red stone that burns and emits a strange flame.

"Sure enough, I should be able to escape with this thing."

Colin didn't hesitate anymore. He sensed "Event 1" in his mind, determined the direction and left the place directly.

Although there is only one fire pillar, the diameter of the irradiation is quite large, more than 30 meters.

"There are still 163 hours, 24 minutes and 37 seconds left in 'Event Three'. It seems that almost four hours have passed since I woke up."

"I don't know how that former colleague is doing now. I hope he doesn't have so much shit over there."

"Well, I have to run fast, lest someone catches me later. After all, there should be a lot of powerful people in this world."

Colin grabbed the "torch" with one hand, quickened his pace, and soon found himself walking into a desolate and inhabited plain.

Moreover, despite the pressure caused by the darkness above our heads, we have not yet left this plain after five hours of driving.

I haven’t seen my former colleagues either.

That guy's location was much farther than he thought.

"I wouldn't just run out of lamp oil and die on the way, right? Oh, this stone seems to be quite resistant to burning, and I don't know how long it will take. If it wasn't for the certain distance that was pulling in, I would suspect that I was hit by a ghost." Wall, but, having said that, did I forget to use the 'book of numerology'? Forget it, I won't use it yet."

Colin talked to himself as he hurried on, trying to reconcile his depression of walking alone in the darkness.

After walking for another hour, he suddenly stopped and looked around with dark vertical eyes, a look of anthropomorphic shock on his face.

Just after an inadvertent blink of an eye, the surroundings suddenly lit up. The originally dark scene turned into a rough plain. There were no animals on the plain, but there were many low bushes. Overall, it looked a bit like It is the area with plants on the edge of the desert as seen on TV.

That's not the point, the point is.

Its daybreak?

Why did it suddenly get bright?

"Is it another natural phenomenon unique to this world? Just like turning on a light, it lights up immediately?"

Colin was puzzled and could only attribute it to the peculiarities of this world.

After all, this is a magical world.

Many things that seemed strange to him might just be common sense here.

But during the day, the torch-like stone pillar in my hand seemed to have no sense of existence.

Colin didn't throw it away either. After all, it can get bright in an instant, but who knows if it will get dark again in a while?

He didn't want to know or try what would happen if he went into the dark without light.

Looking into the distance, he felt that his colleagues were getting closer and closer to him, so he buried his head and quickened his pace.

At the same time, at the entrance of the dungeon, the warden with a bruised face and eyes cautiously poked his head out of the dungeon.

Very good, there is no sound of the monster outside, and a distant footprint seems to indicate that the other party has already left.

"He snatched a 'Night Watch Light'. This shows that even in that appearance, he still maintains his sanity. Also, what form is he in? The third stage? Who is he? The next step is to go to where?"

The warden tried his best to open a slit in his swollen eyes and looked at the direction the other party left. That direction seemed to be

No man's land?

"Master Warden, what should I do? Do you want to catch up?" a subordinate asked in a low voice.

The warden fell silent when he heard the words, and after a dozen or so breaths, he opened his mouth and said, "Go back to the city, find the city lord, and ask him to ask the 'Knights of Virtue' to send members to form a hunting team."

In this area, only those knights and church priests who have mastered the power of "virtue" have the ability to hunt that monster.

He knew very well that if the other party went on a killing spree yesterday, there would not be a single living person in the dungeon now.

After saying that, he remembered something, touched his face that was swollen like a pig, took a breath of pain, and asked his subordinates in confusion:

"Have I ever abused him before? For example, pressed him down and beat him?"

"Never before! Your conduct is like a real knight, and you have never abused others like those executioners of the trial court. We all respect you from the bottom of our hearts," the subordinate said emotionally.

Word had spread in the dungeon. In order to prevent others from being harmed, the warden silently resisted everything.

He dragged the monster into the dungeon and fought fiercely for more than ten minutes. The entire dungeon was full of crackling noises, which consumed most of the opponent's energy, forcing the opponent to flee, thus saving everyone.

If it hadn't been for the warden's restraint, I'm afraid no one in the entire dungeon would have survived.

The guard was moved.

"Bah! What do you mean by likeness! I am a knight! A knight blessed by a noble!"

The warden cursed, and then he remembered something. In addition to scolding him yesterday, the prison warden also said something that sounded like he had strong opinions on the "Holy Healing Church".

Especially the sentence "If you didn't send me there, I wouldn't be like this at all."

When did he send the other party there?

And what does this look like?

Could it be that.

Did the other party secretly reveal to him that there was a problem with the "Holy Healing Church"?

Although this may be some kind of estrangement, before that, he suddenly remembered that some time ago, when he was in contact with the members of the "Knights of Virtue" above, when those adults were talking about the "Holy Healing Church"

Attitude, there is something so indescribably subtle.

Ke Lin didn't know that his venting made the warden suspicious of the "Holy Healing Church", and he didn't know that a hunting party targeting him would set off soon.

At this time, after another three hours of walking, he finally walked through the long plain and came to a mountain forest.

At the same time, the rescue signal is getting clearer and clearer.

But it was not long after walking into this mountain forest.

Colin felt something was getting more and more wrong.

It's too quiet here, and apart from himself, he doesn't seem to see any living things, whether it's plants or insects, there is no living movement at all.

On the other hand, withered plants and animal mummies are not uncommon and can be seen from time to time.

The strangest thing is that these corpses are basically intact and covered with a thin layer of ash, as if they have never been touched or decayed after death.

Ke Lin's keen sense of smell told Colin that it seemed that on a microscopic scale that could not be observed by the naked eye, those tiny microorganisms were given equal death just like those corpses that can be seen everywhere.

"The sterile rooms in the hospital are not this 'clean'. I will not enter the tiger's den right after leaving the wolf's den."

Colin's huge body was walking on flat ground in the mountain forest, looking at the corpses of animals and plants of various sizes that occasionally appeared as he moved forward.

He thought curiously, but had no answer.

There are so many strange places in this world.

Fortunately, apart from traces of matter and death, there was nothing else encountered in the forest.

Another half hour later, Colin stopped and looked at the town that appeared ahead with half-squinted eyes.
