Chapter 811 Predation
The night is getting deeper.
According to Selena, the first batch of explorers entering the sandbox No. 1 were attacked after nightfall.
Gao Wen stood in front of the house, looking up at the clear and transparent night sky in the desert area. His surface was calm and peaceful, but he was secretly mobilizing his perception of the surroundings and various arrangements.
Until now, no strange phenomenon has occurred, and no one has been contaminated by his soul. Duvalter and Naretire are resting in the house not far behind, while Selena and the other two remain alert and take turns to guard the house.
It seems like it will be a night to be able to spend peacefully.
The desert was quite cold after nightfall, but this temperature did not affect Gao Wen. He took a deep breath and let the cold air cool his mind. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the technology of the Eternal Sleeper creating this world.
Such real wind, such real chill, the vast earth, the twinkling stars, everything is the same as the real one. How long did it take them to create such a world of falsehood and the sentient beings living in this world... How long did it take them to realize the existence of the box boundary?
Feeling a movement in her heart, Gao Wen closed her divergent thoughts, turned to look at the direction of the door, Naretiel, whose long white hair was almost hanging to her ankles, quietly opened the door and walked out. She stepped on the ground barefoot, with almost no sound when she walked, but she didn't know how to hide her breath.
"You woke up?" Gao Wen asked casually at the strange girl.
Naritiel quickly looked up at Gao Wen, nodded slightly, and then arrived at a place not far from the door, sat down on the ground, held his knees with his hands, and looked up at the sky in a daze.
Although he always thought that the other party had a weird feeling and suspected that the other party was the minion of the upper narrator or the dangerous mind of wandering in the sandbox No. 1, Gao Wen couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Look at the stars." The white-haired girl sitting on the ground said in a low voice.
"...This can be seen," Gao Wen said a little speechless for a moment, slightly embarrassed, "You don't sleep at night just to run out to see the stars?"
Naritiel was silent for a while before hesitating and speaking again: "Look at... the stars."
Gao Wen: "…"
He suspected that he had some communication barrier with the other party, but after hesitating for a while, he stood next to Naretiel and asked casually: "How did you and Duvalter meet? Are you and him just travel companions?"
"...I am a travel companion," Naritiel's answer was still very slow and short so that it was difficult to understand, but at least he was answering Gao Wen's question, "I don't remember."
"Don't remember how I met exactly?" Gao Wen understood the other party's vague answer while guiding the other party to say more, "Then how long have you been wandering here?"
"Many...many years," said Naretiel.
"Do you believe in the upper narrators, too?"
"…I don't know," Naretiel shook his head, "I don't remember."
"You have been wandering here all these years? Did Duvalt tell you what the purpose of wandering is? Do you have anything to do?"
Naritiel was silent for a while and shook her head: "Look at the stars."
When Gao Wen guessed what the other party's answer meant by the wrong bullhead, he heard Naritiel add: "You disturbed me to look at the stars."
Gao Wen: "…"
The communication seemed unable to continue, so Gao Wen could only sigh with regret and judged that Naritiel's mind should have some problems, and his memory and thinking ability were significantly lower than that of ordinary people.
At this moment, a fire suddenly appeared in his sight.
In front of the temple with many pillars and stone statues in the distance, a large bonfire suddenly appeared in the distance. The burning flames rose from the temple square. The building that was immersed in the dark night was instantly reflected by the bright flames. Then, more and more fires or lights appeared at the top of the stone pillars around the temple, appeared on the streets far and near, and appeared in the houses!
The whole city seemed to wake up quickly in the lights!
Gao Wen widened his eyes, looked at the lights that were spreading rapidly in the city, and then suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Naritiel.
Naritiel, who was sitting there looking up at the starry sky a second ago, had disappeared at some point.
Gao Wen was unable to even lock in her breath change at all, and could not detect when and how she left (or disappeared)!
But he was already mentally prepared to face the strange situation. At this moment, he saw that the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and the red-haired Archbishop Magnan rushed out from inside: "The old man named Duvalter is gone!"
"I know," Gao Wen replied lightly, "not only Naretiel is gone."
Magnan stared at her eyes and noticed the lights that were constantly lit up everywhere in the city. His loud voice suddenly exploded: "All the ancestors of my family!! What's the situation?"
Yuri and Selena also walked out of the house. They had already heard Magnan and Gao Wen talking outside the house. The lights that were spreading rapidly in the city reflected on their faces. Selena only glanced at her and turned her head to look at Gao Wen: "Is this what you are waiting for?"
"It seems that its patience is worse than I thought," Gao Wen nodded, "Be prepared, the upper narrator is here."
Almost as Gao Wen finished speaking, on the streets in the distance, in the shadows between houses, and between the boundaries of lights and shadows woven by the swaying lights everywhere, countless creepy shadows suddenly emerged from the air!
The shadows of all sizes crawled on the ground and moved quickly along the ground. At first, they looked like undulating fog at the border of the lights. It was not until some shadows approached that Gao Wen understood what it was, and there were countless spiders crawling on the surface of the ground in the form of shadows!
Countless shadows moved under the lights and stretched or shortened from time to time with the change of light angle, just like an invisible "real" spider crawling against the surface. It is completely transparent, but it leaves strange shadows on the ground. When she saw those shadow spiders, Gao Wen suddenly thought of a sentence Duvalter said to him:
"There are many spiders here at night, but don't worry, they are all gentle and harmless, and they will take the initiative to avoid people..."
These things now don't look harmless at all.
Yuri instantly opened his hands, and countless golden runes circling and flying to protect everyone. The soft and warm light also enveloped the audience. Selena Ger, holding the lantern, took a step forward. Under the lantern, all the shadows crawling on the ground were quickly fading. Then, Magnan opened his hands, and his thunderous voice suddenly exploded:
"Mind Storm!!"
The powerful magic power instantly gathered into shape, turning into a dim halo spreading in all directions. Wherever the halo passed, all the spider shadows paused briefly, and a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere filled the entire block.
Extremely effective aura of calming the gods, high-level spiritual spells, can soothe all mental units including enemies and us.
But it couldn't afford to be in a state of great shock, Yuri, the gentle archbishop with monocles, almost exclaimed: "Where is your spiritual storm?!"
"Damn it! I forgot that I've replaced it with a calming halo!" Magnan shouted.
Archbishop Yuri, who is gentle and elegant, is probably the first time in his life that he is so disobedient and shouted: "You barbarian! Do you usually rely on subconscious casting spells?!"
"I used to be a priest of the God of War. I am used to relying on my subconscious to cast spells. What can I do?"
"Don't use this as an excuse. I'm not a normal war god priest!"
The quarrel between the two archbishops from behind made Gao Wen a little surprised for a moment. He never expected that such talents would exist in the Dark Sect. These two people made him unable to help but think of Philip and Byron. He even felt that if Yuri and Magnan arrived at Cecil, they would probably become national first-class crosstalk actors within one year...
But a warm and clear light broke all the chaos. Selena's hand was filled with a strong light, and her voice sounded like a force that could penetrate the endless curtain: "Quiet! Yuri, Magnan, you are affected!
"The night here is amplifying your personality flaws and negative thoughts, confusing your judgment!"
Yuri and Magnan, who were about to become more and more quarrel, were affected by Selena's lanterns and woke up by their words. They suddenly opened their eyes wide and instantly realized the slight pollution and erosion.
The next second, an extremely powerful spiritual energy burst out with Magnan as the center, setting off a real "storm" throughout the entire building and a considerable range around it.
At the same time, more shadows are still gathering in all directions, and more lights are lit up in the streets and alleys of Nim Sangjo. The light and shadow seem to form an intertwined grid line. With the temple area as the center, it spreads throughout the city, and even strangely spreads outside the city and into the entire desert...
Looking down from the air, Nim Sangjo and a considerable area around him were shrouded in this web of light and shadow, like a spider web. The small spiritual storm set off by Magnan is located in the center of this huge spider web, like a struggled flying insect, like a prisoner in a spider web...
In the darkness that was unknown to Nim Sandra, on a strange mountain that stood suddenly in the desert, like an upside-down arthropod, a worn-out paper-shelled lantern suddenly cut through the darkness, and Duvalte and Naretire reflected in the dim light.
The former was holding a lantern and was quietly looking at the direction of Nim Sandra, while the city was completely shrouded in a huge spider web, and there was a huge spider shadow slowly patrolling the edge of the web. The latter sat on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, and continued to look up at the sky in a daze, staring at the sky simulated by the sandbox.
"The last predation began, Naretire," Duvalt said softly in a low voice, "Will you not come and see?"
Narithir sat unmoved, and said stubbornly as if he was angry: "I want to see the stars."
Duvalter frowned: "It's all fake, what's so good about it?"
"But for me... it's true..."
Duvalter frowned and looked at Narithir, slowly shook his head: "It doesn't matter after preying, there is the real starry sky waiting for us."
Naritiel was silent, quiet under the night sky for a long time before suddenly muttering softly: "Cake is delicious, wine is not delicious."
Duvalter didn't hear clearly for a moment: "What did you say?"
Naritiel didn't speak anymore.
Duvalt looked down at Naretire for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly: "...it doesn't matter."
Then he withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of Nim Sandra again, looking at the final predation place after the end of the world.
The net woven by the upper narrators will eventually trap the glimmer of light from reality...
The shock waves of the spiritual storm raged between the streets, tearing the world supported by dreams. The shadows of countless spiders were wiped out in the energy surge, and even the nearby houses and stone floors turned into debris after several storms.
However, the shadows are endless. The lights everywhere in Nim Sangzhuo City illuminate the large night sky. In the dim night sky, there are even larger and more abstract shadows gathering, approaching the temple area like some kind of predatory beast.
"These things are weird and can't be killed at all!" Magnan shouted loudly in the center of the storm. "They must have a source, hidden in places we can't see!"
Yuri maintained the protection of the golden rune and also raised his voice: "We should find a way to leave this city, and the whole city is probably a trap!"
While trying to cope with the spider shadows and the ubiquitous mental pollution, Yuri and Magnan also turned their heads and looked in the direction where Gawain was.
The upper narrators have already started to do something, and the outskirts of the domain... should they do something?!
"Do you take action?" Magnan shouted in silence, "We can't hold on for too long."
Gao Wen stood not far from Magnan and Yuri, standing next to Selena Gerfen. From beginning to end, he did not move any movement. He just watched the shadows come, watched Magnan and others fight back, and quietly observed the chaos as if they were not concerned about it.
His silence made Selena care, and Yuri and Magnan became more nervous.
What are the wanderers outside the territory waiting for? Why is He not acting yet?
As such questions became increasingly swelling and almost shaking Magnum's confidence, Gao Wen finally let out a soft sigh.
"I see……"
