The most terrifying enemy in this world is not a monster with teeth and claws, nor a cold and pale evil spirit.

It's the things that are invisible and intangible.

Without seeing, you can't know where they are.

Without seeing, you can't guard against their sneak attacks.

Even the moment you might be killed, you don't know what the enemy who killed you looked like.

This is the most aggrieved way to die.

Yang Xuming stared at the chicken full of tooth marks at the entrance of the village, frowning slightly.

He looked at the village ahead.

This quiet and dead village suddenly became lively in his eyes.

Because of those invisible things, perhaps they are standing at their doorsteps and looking at Yang Xuming.

You can even stand in front of and behind Yang Xuming, thinking about when to kill this intruder from outside.

The incomprehensible situation caused Yang Xuming to dispel the idea of ​​going directly to the village.

He decided to walk around the village from the side to see the condition of the village.

After all, there are not many houses in this village, only five or six.

However, as soon as Yang Xuming walked to the side of the village, an old man walked out of the door of the house next to him.

The other party was the old man Yang Xuming had met in the cornfield before.

When the two sides met, Yang Xuming was completely unprepared and was caught off guard.

The old man appeared silently, without any sound or sign at all, and he walked out directly.

When the two sides met, the old man was shocked again.

"Wow... there are..." the latter words were swallowed by the old man.

I don't know what he wants to call.

But judging from his reaction...could it be that he wanted to call it a ghost?

The big sword in Yang Xuming's hand has been hanging down to his side, ready to shoot at any time.

But the white death candle in his hand has always been emitting a terrible green light, and it has not turned into the blood red that it was before.

This funeral candle that illuminates the road and guides Yang Xuming into this strange world was originally just an ordinary candle bought by Yang Xuming on the roadside.

But now it seems to have been given a certain peculiar ability to give Yang Xuming some kind of early warning.

Since the white candlelight of the death candle did not turn red, Yang Xuming did not act immediately.

He stared at the old man in front of him without speaking.

The old man looked around nervously, and then said, "Young man, you can't stand here."

The old man glanced at the chicken not far away in horror. It was obvious that he also saw the chicken that had been gnawed.

He panicked even more.

"Come in! Can't stay outside!"

The old man looked around nervously, as if a human-eating monster might rush out in the dark at any time.

Yang Xuming looked at him like this, thought about it, and followed the old man into the first tiled house at the entrance of the village.

The bleak green light of the candles reflected the dark green inside the tiled house, inexplicably infiltrating people.

The old man closed the door carefully before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Yang Xuming in the room and said, "You young man, don't you want to die? You dare to stand outside alone at this time?"

Yang Xuming asked directly, "This time? When? What's wrong now?"

The old man glared at Yang Xuming and said, "Did you not see that the chicken at the entrance of the village died? And it was gnawed."

"This shows that the strange things in the village have crawled out and are now wandering outside. Are you not afraid of death if you run around at this time?"

Yang Xuming was a little confused, "What's the strange thing in the village? What's the strange thing?"

The old man shuddered suddenly, and said, "Something terrifying... you better not ask too much."

The old man hid behind the crack in the door and took a peek outside, as if he was confirming if there was anything coming.

After a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Xuming again.

"You are so bold as a young man. Isn't it possible that you don't have that kind of weird thing out there?"

Yang Xuming smiled, "We really don't have such a weird thing outside, so I don't know what that weird thing is. Does it kill people? Why does the chicken die when it comes out? It loves to eat chicken?"

The old man was a little angry, "That's the patron saint! Only when the patron saint is there, that thing won't come out."

"But once the patron saint dies, it will be the world of that thing."

"So every time that thing comes out, it will kill the patron saint first."

"As soon as the patron saint dies, the village is very dangerous. No one dares to go out, otherwise they will die miserably!"

The old man's solemn warning made Yang Xuming a little confused.

That chicken is... the patron saint?

The patron saint who was smashed to death by his sword?

So weak?

And what horror is there in this village that will crawl out after that chicken dies?

Could it be that the invisible thing that has been gnawed by the rooster is the weird thing the old man said?

So why didn't the other party come to kill Yang Xuming at that time?

Is it because Yang Xuming was in the cornfield? Not seen?

Yang Xuming thought for a while and asked, "Master, how many people are there in your village? There are strange things raging in the village, why don't everyone unite to defeat it?"

Speaking of this problem, the old man shuddered and seemed to be frightened.

He stared at Yang Xuming in horror, and said, "You young, what crazy talk? Do you think that thing is easy to provoke? If you get caught by it, you can't kill ten of them!"

Yang Xuming wanted to ask again, but suddenly there was a crisp and loud **** crowing outside.

It seems that the rooster at the entrance of the village is alive again.

Both Yang Xuming and the old man were stunned at the same time.

Is Yang Xuming confused that this chicken is still alive?

The old man was even more astonished, "Why did you wake up so fast this time? Did that strange thing go back?"

Yang Xuming understood something.

It seems that this big rooster, known as the patron saint, has been standing guard at the entrance of the village. Once it dies, it means that the monster has come in.

But once the rooster came back to life, it proved that the monster was gone, and the rooster continued to guard the village.

But the rooster stood guard at the entrance of the village, facing the direction Yang Xuming came from... Gan! Did that monster come with Yang Xuming?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Xuming asked, "Um... Uncle, will this chicken **** harm foreigners? Like me."

The old man shook his head, "Of course not! It can only deal with that weird thing, it won't hurt other people, otherwise how can it be called a patron saint?"

The cold sweat on Yang Xuming's back came down instantly.

If the rooster really does not attack people, but suddenly shows the intention to attack when he approaches, and the invisible monster comes from the direction Yang Xuming came...

Isn't the enemy who was warning by the candle just warning the rooster at all? But an invisible monster has been following him all the time?

Does the rooster want to attack the monster behind Yang Xuming?

It's so... I'm a little bit scared of thinking about it.
