Chapter 819: Evil spirits in the presence of stronger evil spirits...
Seeing the evil spirits approaching slowly, the king and the others were pale, their legs were fighting, and many of them were even unsteady and sat on the ground.
However, something incredible happened. After these evil spirits got close to a certain level, they all stopped. They spread their teeth and danced their claws and issued silent threats, but they didn't take a step forward. It was like encountering a beast that was more powerful than themselves. Even though they were very angry, they didn't dare to attack.
Seeing this scene, the king and others who were already heartbroken suddenly came to "live" again.
"My God!"
"How is this going?"
"Can we survive?"
Amid the noise, the blood-colored king also sighed deeply and let go of his grip on the dagger.
"The ancestor's last words are indeed right! Evil spirits will retreat in front of more powerful evil spirits." He forced a smile, and then frowned again, "But...how long can this situation last?"
Thinking of this, he asked the guard nervously, "What time is it now?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and replied, "It should be... it was after eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, close to twelve o'clock."
The king nodded, thoughtful.
It is now the end of September, and there are still more than five hours before dawn. As long as this time is passed, after dawn, those evil spirits of unknown origin will definitely recede-no matter what story, the evil spirits are afraid of the sun. Yes, I have never heard of evil spirits operating outside in broad daylight.
"Stop talking!" Thinking of this, he issued an order, "Be alert and wait for the dawn. When it is dawn, the evil spirits will retreat."
Of course, everyone understood this and nodded, and many of them sat down easily—the evil spirits didn't dare to attack anyway, so why not take a good rest?
Moreover, when I am old in the future, I can also brag to my descendants: "Evil spirits are scary, right? Back then, grandfather and me were all evil spirits, and my life was at risk, but I was still able to swagger to sleep. The demeanor of a strong man, no matter when you are calm..."
Near the big clock tower, the silence was temporarily restored.
After a while, for some unknown reason, the evil spirits surrounding the bell tower suddenly became agitated, and even expressed the intention of breaking through the obstacles and rushing in front of them.
This made the hearts of the king and the others hang in the air again after they put it down. Of course, they are not opponents of the evil spirits, and the only thing they can rely on is that the evil spirits fear more ferocious evil spirits. But if these evil spirits don't buy the tent of the evil spirit in the clock tower, they really have no choice but to wait for death.
After a while, those evil spirits became even more turbulent. More than one evil spirit tentatively took a step or two forward. Although they immediately retreated, the signal was already very obvious.
Just as the king and others became more and more panicked, there was a sudden roar in the distance.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a golden light rising into the sky. Around the golden light, countless light spots scattered slowly, like rain.
Although they were far apart, everyone could clearly feel the extreme anger and rage in the golden light, which was simply chilling. If it's close at hand... I'm afraid that some people will be scared to death, and they will be scared to death!
Accompanied by the golden light, the evil spirits surrounding the clock tower suddenly stagnated, as if frozen, and the king and the others looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
After a while, one of these evil spirits suddenly moved. It raised its head to the sky, made a roaring action, and then rushed to the side of the clock tower without hesitation, grabbing a palace maid.
The palace maid screamed in panic, and the guard next to him drew his sword and slashed at it, but it was useless.
I didn't see any attack methods that the evil spirit used. It just grabbed the palace maid's arm, but in just a second or two, the palace maid collapsed, her body quickly dried up and turned into a mummified corpse.
Such a scene has happened many times in this terrifying night.
But this time is different!
When the palace maid was killed, a roar came from inside the clock tower.
The voice was low and hoarse, but it could be heard that he was not very old, it should be a man in his thirties. I don't know if it was because he was provoked by the weak, he roared angrily, and everyone could hear it clearly. The roar was galloping all the way down from the top of the clock tower, towards the ground floor.
All the people who were not far enough from the gate of the clock tower subconsciously hid to the side, trying to be as far away from the gate as possible.
In just a moment, the roar had reached the bottom of the building. Although he didn't rush out the door, the evil spirit from before was like a beast that had encountered a natural enemy, hurriedly retreated, and ran faster than a rabbit.
However, it was too late.
A gray-black ray of light that could be clearly seen even in the dark night shot out from the gate of the clock tower, hitting its back center. Then the light turned into a chain, entangled it tightly, dragged it, and backed away little by little.
The evil spirit danced in panic, but it was useless. Other evil spirits also came to help, but their combined powers were unable to fight against the chain. On the contrary, when more than one evil spirit touched the chains, the entire body immediately stiffened, as if it had become a wooden clay sculpture, unable to move at all.
After a while, the daring evil spirit was finally dragged into the clock tower. Along with those who were dragged in, there were more than a dozen who never let go, and those who were rigidly stuck to the chains.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of biting and chewing came from the clock tower.
What does this sound mean? Everyone can understand.
Their faces became even paler, and more than one person began to wonder if the choice to run here was the right one?
The evil spirits around are indeed very dangerous, but this one inside the clock tower is even more terrifying!
Everyone has heard the stories of evil spirits a lot. But who has heard of evil spirits that eat evil spirits?
...and eat so badly!
More than one leg trembled and collapsed to the ground. More than one person was muttering to himself, saying things like "Mom", "I'm going home"...
Just then, hope came!
There was a sound of battle in the distance, crackling and rumbling.
Everyone knows that the attacking evil spirits are not only those around, there should be many wandering in the palace, looking for prey. The sound of the battle was probably because they were fighting with something.
It's just... what can fight this untouchable evil spirit? What is it, the noise will be so obvious when fighting?
But no matter what it is, in short, it is hope!
Ilo and Harley, who were in a hard fight, could never have imagined that they had become the "hope" of the king and others - they were originally going to send "despair" to each other.
