Chapter 43: Famine Mountain Village

After noon, the clouded weather became darker and darker.

It was as if someone took a brush and dipped the ink and drew it across the sky. All the surging clouds at the time of the day were all slumped together, making people feel gloomy.

This kind of weather makes other people uncomfortable, and it couldn't be more comfortable for Anthony.

He is a half vampire.

There are many things that vampires least like in the legend, such as garlic, holy water, cross, sunlight... etc.

In fact, the only thing that vampires don't like is sunlight. The holy water can hardly cause harm to them unless it is the kind that is consecrated by the cathedral.

But this drawback is especially obvious in half-vampires.

Semi-vampires are actually human beings that have not yet been completely transformed. The increase in their abilities by the blood family can only reach the top level of the human category, and cannot cross the boundaries of humans, because this is also one of the iron laws drawn by the main system.

So half-vampires hate sunlight very much, worse than real vampires.

In their endless loop, the night clan’s base castle is covered with thick curtains to block the light from the outside, and at most candlesticks are lit for other visitors. Because the vampire's night vision ability is exceptionally good, so good that it can easily see things in a dark place.

"Where are we going now?"

Lin Guoxing asked.

He is a relatively honest and honest existence in the A-level, and he can get along with everyone on weekdays, and he dares to speak in front of the grumpy barbarian Anthony. Other B-grade and C-grade old people also followed behind them obediently.

"What's the hurry, first look around for any missing information."

Anthony stopped and directed the other old people to explore nearby, but he was standing there.

He obviously didn't pay much attention to this copy.

Although there are two S-levels coming in with them, Anthony's strength is high-level A-level, and he has also entered the S-level dungeon with His Highness during the infinite loop. Now facing this copy that is not as difficult as the S grade, it is natural to neglect a lot.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, his biggest competitor-Vincent is dead.

No one thought that one of the right arms of His Royal Highness Fan Zhuo would not even be able to survive the first copy of the horror trainee. After learning the news, Anthony almost didn't laugh to death, opened a few bottles of whiskey overnight, and celebrated with his confidant for having solved his old opponent for many years without a fight.

So Anthony's current posture is very leisurely, and he even keeps his hands behind his head, slowly watching the surrounding scenery.

In this copy, there are only three people who really need his attention.

The first two are the two S-rank bosses of the only copy, Zhuge An and Hei Yi Azan.

Anthony is not worried about the words of Azan in Black. Although this No. 4 has cultivated the most evil ghost training, he himself is an upright and decent figure, seldom playing small tricks, and even often giving away for nothing. intelligence. For example, when I was in the mourning hall just now, I sent a message to everyone that the Yin Po was a Yin-traveler.

As for Zhuge An, this is the one Anthony dare not provoke.

Although he is called a barbarian, he does things straightforwardly, but he is not really mindless, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the position of the top of the night clan. Anthony knew who should provoke and who should not provoke. Like no.3, it is the existence that he wants to go around.

At the beginning, in the curse mask, Fanzhuo and Anthony were one of the three forces. After being played around by Zhuge, he left a very deep psychological shadow. Until now, he felt painful when he saw that face, and he insisted on the idea that even if this character can't befriend him, he can't be evil.

But in fact, the first two are not so important, the most important is the third.

The white-haired, looks better than a woman, and it is said that Zong Jiu, a C-level trainee with unlimited potential.

This is the number one candidate for Anthony to pay attention to.

As for why--

After the A-level gaming table conflict, Anthony was beaten by Van Zhuo.

"I hate people who disobey my orders."

Under the dark candlelight, the handsome face of the man was majestic and stern.

The double-headed eagle emblem on the black and gold military uniform was shining dimly under the candlelight, and the long saber was resting on the conference table.

He looked at the subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, his voice was cold, "Remember, there is no next time."

"Yes... Your Highness."

Under the pressure from the origin of the blood, Anthony felt that his heart seemed to be clenched, uncomfortable to the point that it could not be passed through for a second.

Fan Zhuo looked at him coldly, without any pressure, but turned and walked to the window with a silver-rimmed pattern.

The room of no.2 is luxurious enough and even comes with a small garden. Looking out from the crimson tapestry, you can just see the tulip fields in full bloom outside.

"Watch him."

Although he didn't say who it was, Anthony, who bowed his head on the ground, knew this well.

"When necessary...protect him."

Anthony ended the memory.

The expression on his face is terrible.

This is the only time that His Royal Highness has given him a protective order, and the subject is still a very ordinary C-level.

What if you get a million chips in the limelight in Las Vegas? After all, he is just a fledgling newcomer.

Let alone a newcomer, even a powerful old man has never been treated so differently by His Highness. How good is a newcomer?

That being said, Anthony, who has already experienced violations once, does not intend to feel it again.

So even though he saw that the C-Class who tripped him in the casino and made him lose face, he still didn't choose to do anything after entering the deserted village instance.

"Senior Anthony!"

Just as Anthony was looking down, an old man in the team hurried over from a distance, "We felt yin in the houses of many villagers when we were investigating."

Yin Qi?

Anthony frowned, "Is it Bodhisattva soil?"

As a senior old man, he certainly knows what the appearance of Yin Qi means.

In the morning, a low-level shaman in the team whispered to them to share information, saying that the "Bodhisattva soil" enchanted by the Bodhisattva among the villagers in this deserted village was actually extremely cold.

As expected, if it weren't for the extreme coldness, how could it be possible that any plant could not survive when transplanted in the past, as the villagers said. To a certain extent, the plants that can survive in this environment are probably only the so-called "fairy grass" with the so-called attribute to the sun and not afraid of the cold.

The old man handing out the message shook his head, "My perception is limited. I only feel that the yin spirit is extremely heavy in the big house at the far north of the village."

North of the village head?

Lin Guoxing thought, "Isn't that the house of the village chief's family?"

Yesterday the other team was picking firewood at the old locust tree, and Anthony was not idle either.

They were bold and talented, so they directly explored the locations and places of other villagers in the village. Naturally, they knew that the big earthen house in the north was the village chief’s site with the firewood house. In addition to the village chief, Wang Shou and his son also lived there.

In addition, they also obtained a lot of information.

For example, Wang Shou’s first wife gave him a son and died in childbirth. The wife who fled back to her natal family was a widow from the next village after him. The widow brought a daughter when he got married. In the pre-plot, they looked at the one that Wang Shou sold to the trafficker.

"As soon as we went to see the firewood room, Wang Shou took his wife back and locked it in the firewood room. The newcomer of the other team clashed with them and was yelling there."

"Don't worry about them, a group of new people can't make it into a climate."

Anthony sneered, waved his hand, and motioned for them to follow.

Seeing that there is an A-level leader, other old people who want to complete the dangerous challenge together are naturally desperate, and hurriedly follow behind him.

Halfway through, Lin Guoxing suddenly asked, "By the way, has anyone seen Azan in black?"

"I see, he was checking house-to-house with us before."

Another old man shrugged, "But we are looking for Yin Qi, he seems to be looking for something. Afterwards, we didn't pay attention to him, and we didn't see anyone in a blink of an eye."

As they were talking, they walked to the earthen hut in the north.

This house is very quiet, presumably Wang Shou and the old village chief have not yet come back.

Anthony made a gesture, and several AB-level trainees leaped over the wall.

In rural earthen houses, wooden slats are usually installed on the windows, so you can't enter, you can only enter through the door.

The old survivors with skills like unlocking basically use survival points to light up, so after a moment, several people nodded. A man stood behind the tree at the door, watching the situation outside warily. Another person went to the back of the house, alert for other changes that might occur at any time.

Anthony and Lin Guoxing stepped into the house.

The light in the room is very dark, and everything is in a dark state.

The place where the village chief lives is of course much better than that of ordinary villagers. Not only is the furniture complete, but there is also a thick quilt on the kang. Apart from these, there is nothing suspicious at first glance.

But...it's yin.

The two of them exchanged glances.

Lin Guoxing took out his own human skin drum, and Anthony's nails began to dye black from the end, both of them looked defensive.

‘I’ll take a look in the bedroom. ’

Lin Guoxing silently pointed to one of the dark rooms. Anthony took advantage of the trend and picked the doorway on the other side, hiding himself in the dark, and slowly moving around by sticking to the wall.

He came to the kitchen.

The kitchen doesn't even have a window, only a chimney above, you can't see your fingers.

The huge black iron pot is placed in the center of the kitchen. Below is the scorched cave dwelling.

Anthony stepped forward with red eyes open, and touched the bottom of the pot with his hands, and suddenly felt a little greasy on the palms of his hands.

If there is oil, there must be meat. The village chief's family must have used meat to stir-fry vegetables recently, and it will leave such traces.

But the strange thing is that in the famine years, they didn't even have to eat. They saw no pigs in the village along the way. Where did the meat come from?

The half vampire knelt down, closed his eyes and let go of his perception, looking for blood in the air.

If there is meat, the smell of blood will be essential. The vampire's sense of smell is very sensitive, as long as there is even the slightest smell of blood can be easily distinguished by them.

After a pause of about ten seconds, the **** smell in the kitchen was finally caught by Anthony.

Following the smell, he moved to the corner and opened the lid of the water tank.

It was dark inside, with a pitcher of black water floating on it.

Anthony lowered his head. With the half-vampire's night vision ability, he could clearly see the blood floating on the tank and the things sinking under the water.

His pupils are slightly open.

Combining the previous clips, any clues flashed through his mind.

At this moment, suddenly, a cold hand touched his shoulder gently.

Anthony reacted quickly. When he felt heaviness on his shoulders, he grabbed the hand at a speed that ordinary human eyes could not catch. The sharp black nails cut through the opposite side like a knife, and kicked at the opponent with his knees bent.

However, just halfway through this set of actions, the half-vampire action stopped in place.

Anthony was surprised, "Why are you?"

The man smiled slightly, "It's me."

Lin Guoxing shrugged, "Nothing was found in the bedroom, but there is a voice here, I think you are not coming out, so I came over."

This explanation is not too problematic, but I don't know why, there is always a string in Anthony's mind that is tight. Perhaps it is for this reason that he hasn't put down his guard posture for a long time, instead he took a half step back.

"I finished the investigation so soon, I didn't say a word when I came over, I thought there was something wrong."

Lin Guoxing's fighting ability is not good, and he is a logistician on weekdays, so he shouldn't be afraid.

Anthony thought so, and gradually relaxed his body guard.

and many more! wrong!

The hands on his shoulders were still there, but the temperature seemed to pour the coldness into the bones through the heavy clothes.

The half-vampire suddenly raised his head. He looked at the other person's face in the dark, subconsciously trying to strangle it.

How could Lin Guoxing's hands be cold?

Could it be... he will be the inner ghost of this instance?

It's a pity, it's too late.

The hand on the vampire's shoulder suddenly squeezed. Scarlet blood leaked from between the fingers, disappearing invisible.

In a daze, Anthony saw a contemptuous smile on the opposite person.

In the next moment, something sharp and cold fell slowly from above the endless void, plunged into his cerebral cortex, and drove into the deeper sea of ​​consciousness.

The first puppet silk represents reading, and the second puppet silk represents the subconscious.

This indescribable pain lasted only a moment, and even the wound was undetectable, let alone being noticed by human eyes.

After a moment, let alone pain, even what happened just now, disappeared in a trance as the thread stabilized.

Anthony was in a daze.

After an instant, he grabbed his mind and broke away from the previously unconscious state.

Just in front of him, Lin Guoxing waved his hand in front of him with worry, "Anthony, Anthony?"

"what."

The half vampire opened his mouth.

He felt as if he had forgotten something, but he had to say something that he had forgotten, and he couldn't say a reason, so he could only make a monotonous tone.

The person in front of him smiled.

It's just inexplicable, this smile is strange and pleasant, but it is a pity that Anthony does not find it weird, but subconsciously thinks it should be so, and did not delve into it.

"Why do you think that I am the inner ghost? If I were the inner ghost, I shouldn't take advantage of your distraction just now to solve you earlier."

Lin Guoxing laughed while lowering his voice.

"But...I do have a skeptical candidate."
