1069: Su Liang's new background

“Drip~ drip~ drip~”

One drop, two drops of rainwater fell from the eaves, splashing into the small puddle in front of the house.

The completely black sky, devoid of any light, was like a slaughterhouse, a bloody slaughterhouse that had already begun operating!

Su Laosi was a villager in Li Village.

Having just woken up according to his biological clock, he fumbled in the dark and lit the oil lamp in his house.

But when he looked outside, his face was filled with confusion and bewilderment: “Hmm? What time is it? It’s not light yet?”

Muttering to himself, Su Laosi walked towards the door.

Before he could even reach the doorway.

“Bang bang bang!”

Violent knocking suddenly and fiercely came from outside the door!

The quiet environment was completely broken by the echoing sound inside the house at this moment!

“Who is it? You’re going to knock the door down!” Su Laosi’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.

In the past, there were no such impolite guys in the Village.

At least, when it came to knocking on doors, this method had never been used.

And as the Man’s words fell, the knocking outside the door instantly stopped.

The entire environment, at this moment, fell completely silent again.

The slightly flickering lamplight inside the house highlighted a bit of cold, temperatureless light in the room.

This strange situation caused Su Laosi’s steps towards the door to pause, and he vaguely sensed something unusual.

“Who is it outside? Speak!” The Man’s questioning voice became a little heavier.

“You really are inside.”

Outside the door, a strange voice eerily emerged.

“Clang~”

The entire wooden door was also torn down with a bang at this moment!

The jumping oil lamp inside the house flickered so violently due to the cold wind sweeping in from outside that it seemed like it would go out the next moment.

And in this flickering light, Su Laosi’s pupils widened, and he could see that just outside his door, a Man stood straight up, his body deathly pale, his pupils pitch black, and a stiff, eerie smile on his face!

“Hello.”

The Man outside the door stepped into the house.

His expression, full of smiles, did not change in the slightest, only the blackness in his eyes became deeper and richer!

He was like a beast seeing its prey!

“Puppet!” At this moment, Su Laosi almost felt his scalp explode as he recognized what this guy was!

Puppets are a type of monster in The Black Night.

They love to peel off human skin and wear it!

What’s going on? If it’s The Black Night now, their spiritual lamps in Li Village should still be lit!

The power of the Advanced spiritual lamp is enough to make these guys not dare to approach the Village!

But now, this monster has already appeared in the Village and has come to his house!

Watching the other party walk step by step, Su Laosi’s whole body was stiff.

“Boom!”

Just at this moment, a bright sword light, carrying a hint of violence, directly slashed the Puppet aside.

And the skin it was wearing was also largely torn under this sword!

Outside the door, Li Man’s figure appeared.

“Quick, follow me!” Li Man urgently shouted at Su Laosi.

Hearing this, Su Laosi naturally didn’t hesitate for a moment, and followed Li Man out of the house in a panic.

After leaving the house, it was still pitch black outside.

And in this pitch blackness, there was no warmth at all that belonged to the spiritual lamp’s coverage!

“Li Man, what’s going on? Where are our Village’s spiritual lamps? How did that monster get into the Village?!” Su Laosi followed behind the rapidly running Li Man, asking with unease in his heart.

“The effect of the spiritual lamp has been reduced. Now the Advanced spiritual lamp is no different from the previous Primary spiritual lamp!”

“Moreover, it’s already morning!”

“If the Village Chief hadn’t noticed the change, I might not have made it in time to save you!”

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the central area of Li Village.

From a not-too-distant distance, Su Laosi could see that there was a comforting warm lamplight in that place.

It was the Advanced spiritual lamp that was lit!

However, the Advanced spiritual lamp, which should have originally covered the entire Village, now only seemed to radiate over a small area!

“Are you injured?” When Li Man brought Su Laosi to the spiritual lamp’s range, Li Bo stepped forward and asked.

“I’m fine.” Li Man waved his hand, then looked at the surrounding pitch blackness with a hint of weariness, and asked, “Where’s the Village Chief?”

“Li Changkong just went out to bring the people from the East side of the Village over.” After Li Bo finished speaking, someone in the slightly crowded crowd finally couldn’t bear it and asked, “What’s going on? According to reason, it’s already morning, so why is the sky still dark?”

“That’s right, this kind of situation has never happened before!”

“And aren’t we using an Advanced spiritual lamp? Why can it only cover such a small area now? Will the Advanced spiritual lamp be completely useless in the future?”

Amidst the discussions, panic was constantly spreading.

“Bang!”

A dull sound suddenly erupted in The Black Night outside.

Immediately after, a humanoid monster was directly pierced through space by a long sword and firmly nailed within the range covered by the spiritual lamp!

“Ah!!”

The monster roared and shrieked, struggling in pain.

In just a short moment, the power released by the spiritual lamp completely burned the monster to ashes!

The villagers who had retreated in a circle were all trembling with fear.

Some children were even crying in fear.

“Village Chief!” Li Man looked towards the Darkness, shouting with a hint of excitement.

In just a moment, Li Changkong appeared before everyone.

He pulled out his long sword from the ground, and in the Darkness behind him, more than a dozen villagers quickly flooded into this area.

“The spiritual lamp still has fatal damage to monsters, you don’t need to worry.”

Li Changkong put away his long sword and comforted these people.

His words indeed reassured some people.

However, part of the reason was Li Changkong himself, this strong person, was in Li Village.

“Li Changkong, a family of four died. Although we noticed it earlier, we were still late in saving one family.” Li Bo came to Li Changkong’s side and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded solemnly: “I understand.”

As he spoke, the Man looked at the damp, pitch blackness outside that the spiritual lamp could not reach, his heart also sinking.

Looking at this situation, it is impossible for that guy Qiao Yi to come.

If this strange weather continues, who knows how many days the Advanced spiritual lamp in his hand can last.

Also, with so many people in the Village, the daily food and drink are also a consumption.

Now it seems like nothing can be done, only waiting, waiting and praying for this strange situation to end, praying for the arrival of daytime!

This feeling, Li Changkong only felt suppressed and unbearable.

No, there is still a way to break the situation!

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Changkong opened the System panel.

Yesterday, the people in the Village worked hard all day during the rain, and also increased the Village’s territory to level 1.

He still has a 0.1 level territory reward that has not been claimed!

...

...

Busen City.

Inside Busen City, at this moment, the people in the City also seemed a little chaotic due to the pitch black sky.

Fortunately, there are many capable people in the City who maintain the Holy Light Array, and they are always paying attention to the situation of the Darkness.

Therefore, even now, with the Holy Light Array which has a stronger effect than the spiritual lamp, it still firmly guards the entire Busen City, ensuring that the Holy Light resisting The Black Night within the City is abundant!

Of course, the consequence of achieving this step is that the consumption of the Holy Light Array has reached more than double the usual!

For a City like Busen City with a population of a million, this is also a considerable consumption!

Renault Family.

The Lan Family Head Raine woke up on time.

Looking at the attendant Knight corps who were following him to the Western Main City, and then looking up at the pitch black sky, his thick brows couldn’t help but furrow.

“This situation has arrived more rapidly and more severely than expected.”

Raine spoke these words heavily.

Then he turned to look at a White-Haired Old Man beside him: “I heard Su Liang escaped last night?”

“Yes, Lord Viscount.” The White-Haired Old Man nodded slowly.

“This is truly unpleasant news.” Coldness surged in Raine’s eyes: “Hughes, after I leave, within two days, I must hear the news of Su Liang being executed by the Renault Family, can you do it?”

“Lord Rhein Viscount, please rest assured, I will not let a bad mood accompany you all the way to the Western Main City.” The Old Man responded respectfully.

To this, Raine nodded slightly, then mounted his horse.

He looked at the Knight corps behind him and said in a loud voice: “Depart!”

Similar situations occurred with the other two Viscounts in the City.

And the City Lord of Busen City, who was a Count, after looking at the sky, solemnly warned his trusted subordinates about relevant matters, and then also left Busen City, heading towards the Western Main City.

Holy Light Department.

This department, in the past, could only be described as having few visitors.

But now, it is bustling with activity!

The sudden strange weather caused the dark night to constantly linger overhead.

The various forces and departments in the City were all worried about this.

And the Holy Light Department, which has always been dedicated to dispelling the Darkness, is naturally the object of everyone’s attention.

In response, the Holy Light Department, after receiving a few important guests and informing them of the specific situation, did not waste any more time on the inquiries of others.

As for the current situation, they themselves are also working hard to resolve it, and at the same time, the pressure is also increasing dramatically!

One of the three Elders of the Elders Hall of the Holy Light Department, the one with the highest seniority, had left not long ago, following the City Lord, entering The Black Night to go to the Western Main City.

The remaining two Elders, along with some powerful Magicians, were engrossed in researching items to deal with the current problem, such as spiritual lamps, and stronger Holy Light Arrays.

According to their understanding, the efficacy of the spiritual lamp had been suppressed by The Black Night to such an extent after just one day and night that it was no longer effective!

Currently, only the Advanced spiritual lamp can be used, and the Primary spiritual lamp is no different from ordinary candles.

And the intermediate spirit lamp can only serve as a deterrent to the monsters in the Darkness, but it does not have much killing power!

If The Black Night continues later, perhaps even the Advanced spiritual lamp will not be of much use!

Just as everyone in the Holy Light Department was racking their brains thinking about this, a voice appeared among the core research team of the Holy Light Department.

“You need stronger and better items that can dispel the Darkness, right? I have them!”

After this voice was transmitted, in the huge hall, the two Elders and many Magicians focused their attention on a certain empty area.

There was no one there.

However, in just the next moment, Su Liang, who had become even thinner and looked like a skeleton, appeared before everyone!

And in his hand, he was holding up a bottle of potion!

“This potion of mine, as long as it is soaked in a spiritual lamp, can make the efficacy of the spiritual lamp ten times stronger!”

“All spiritual lamps that have been eroded and suppressed by The Black Night, as long as they are soaked in my potion, can restore their original function and become even stronger!”

Su Liang said these words with a firm tone.

And this also made everyone in the Holy Light Department look at the potion in his hand with trembling eyes!
