Chapter 12 Night Ghost
Lu Yang had never seen such extreme darkness in his life.
Only certain special laboratories on Earth made of absolute bold materials can produce such a terrifying dark effect.
The sudden absolute darkness made Lu Yang unable to see even those standing beside him clearly, but through hearing, he could still feel some movements around him.
Although it was not the first time that the Sun Stone was extinguished, the ancestors still inevitably had a mess on the peak, and various shouts came one after another.
Xue Feng, who was standing beside Lu Yang, had subconsciously grabbed his arm tightly at some point.
"hiss----"
Lu Yang gasped.
At this time, he could truly feel the nervousness of this indigenous loli.
Because her hand strength was probably bigger than that of some strong men on earth, she almost broke his arm.
Lu Yang thought to himself: He is worthy of being a person who grew up in a high gravity environment. Next time he must find an opportunity to test the physical fitness of this loli.
Resisting the pain from his arms, he subconsciously looked up and saw only a few sparse stars and a small number of dim nebula. Even the brightness and size of the Milky Way were several levels worse than those seen on Earth, which made him wonder about his current location in the universe.
As if he was aware of his doubts, Chenxi's answer came at the right time:
"The planet numbered 6118823456674 is located in the Milky Way satellite system - the Great Magellanic Cloud, so the density of nearby stars is significantly lower than that of Earth."
"Rise the fire!"
Just as Lu Yang was thinking about it, Wang's loud voice rang out.
"Raising the fire! Raise the fire!"
Hearing the king's voice, the guards around the king shouted, and soon similar responses came from other parts of the ancestor peak.
Where is the fire?
Although everyone was shouting to raise the fire, Lu Yang did not see the fire light coming up immediately.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, from the mountainside to the top, sporadic flames gradually lit up, which restored part of the light to the entire ancestor peak.
Thunder and other guards didn't know how to ignite a dim torch, which finally allowed Lu Yang to see the appearance of the people around him again.
"Swish...swish...swish...swish..."
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain less than 100 meters away from Lu Yang.
"Three sounds! It's the alarm of the post No. 3 at the foot of the mountain! Night ghost attack!" Thunder reported loudly to Wang Hui.
The wounded from hunting were placed directly in the cave nearest to the mountainside due to injuries. Therefore, Lu Yang and his group were not far from the boundary of the coverage of the Sun Stone. He could even hear the sound of the alarm, and bursts of noisy shouts came from the direction of the sound of the alarm.
He didn't think much about it, and immediately took out a strong flashlight and shone it downwards.
His natural advantage of being condescending allowed him to quickly find the No. 3 whistle that sounded the alarm.
It was a platform built from stone. A torch had just been lit up on it, illuminating a limited area nearby. From a distance, only six or seven figures could be seen squeezing back to back within the range of light, as if they were warning some of the surrounding enemies.
In addition, there was another person squatting on the ground, still trying to ignite a second torch.
It seems that the legendary Night Ghost has not really been called.
Knowing that there is no big problem here for the time being, Lu Yang moved a strong light and shone the surrounding area of the No. 3 post and began to try to find the legendary night ghost that appeared near the post.
Soon, he caught a strange shadow.
The shadow had a human figure, but it was on the ground. Just as it was shining by a strong flashlight, the humanoid creature seemed to be scalded by boiling water, and quickly escaped into the darkness with hands and feet, moving like a human-shaped monkey.
"It's the night ghost!"
Xue Feng beside Lu Yang exclaimed.
Since Lu Yang took out the strong light flashlight, her gaze has been moving with the light beam emitted by the strong light flashlight, so she immediately issued an alarm to Lu Yang.
Is this the night ghost?
Lu Yang quickly continued to search with strong light, and soon captured the figure of the night ghost several times.
But every time a night ghost is shining by a flashlight, it will quickly escape and penetrate into the dense forest like an electric shock. In addition, the distance is too far, Lu Yang did not see the true appearance of the night ghost.
At first, Wang was also attracted by the strong light flashlight that Lu Yang took out, but soon, he realized that he had more important things to do.
"Thunder, are there any alarms from other posts?"
"No! The night ghosts that appeared at the No. 3 post should be the same as the night ghosts that surrounded the hunting team. They should be chasing the wounded. Normal night ghosts don't dare to move in places so close to the coverage of the Sun Stone."
"If the Sun Stone does not recover, the night ghosts in other directions will soon come up. Once the Sun Stone extinguishes more than 400 breaths like before the six eternal nights, there will probably be a big problem."
Most of the roads up the mountain were blocked by the mountain tribe with huge rocks. If Ye Gui wanted to attack the ancestor's peak, he had to take down several sentinels on the road he had to pass.
As the "Lu Tianshen" held a small Sun Stone in hand and kept firing downwards, the Ye Gui who tried to approach the No. 3 post were forced back by the strong light. After all, no matter how flexible Ye Gui was, he was far from moving faster than the flashlight column.
The current situation at the No. 3 post is temporarily safe, and Wang quickly made a judgment.
Lu Yang also discovered that the night ghost below seemed to be afraid of the light, and using the light to force the night ghost to retreat seemed to be a good idea.
So he hurriedly handed another hand-crank flashlight on his body without a battery to Xue Feng, who had amazing arms, and said, "If you keep turning the handle, there will be light."
Although Xuefeng didn't know what Lu Yang wanted to do, she chose to follow the God's arrangements unconditionally.
As Xue Feng quickly turned the handshake, the light of the second flashlight also lit up.
Xuefeng's hand speed partially compensated for the insufficient brightness of the hand-crank flashlight. Although the brightness is still far inferior to the strong-light flashlight, it still caused a burst of exclamation from the surrounding natives.
Is there a mortal who can control the Sun Stone?
This is not theological!
Now the natives have gradually accepted that the gods have various magical abilities, so the gods took out the small trumpet of Sun Stone and did not surprise the natives very much, which is very consistent with the legend of the gods.
But Xue Feng, a mortal, was able to use the Sun Stone, even if it was a smaller one, which somewhat subverted the indigenous people's perception.
Isn’t it said that only the gods can use the Sun Stone? Can the most devout believers like Xuefeng be able to? Could it be that the Sun Stone is extinguished because the mountain tribe lacks devout believers?
The shaman couldn't help but re-examine (think) his own theological knowledge.
Wang also fell into thought when he saw Xue Feng operating the flashlight:
If Xue Feng could use a small Sun Stone, then he should be able to do it too, right? If any mortal can control the power of light, the power of the gods does not seem to be that special?
The smart Xuefeng quickly learned how to use flashlights, and also learned to turn the flashlights constantly like Lu Yang, forcing the Ye Gui who was trying to approach the No. 3 sentry.
As if he was playing a game, seeing the fierce Ye Gui being forced to run away by the light emitted by the flashlight, Xue Feng laughed from the bottom of his heart for the first time today.
With the gods around her, she was not worried that the mere night ghost could hurt her.
Although Xuefeng was having fun beating the gopher, Wang Que's mood became more and more anxious and heavy, because the light on the top of the mountain still did not light up again, and the time when the Sun Stone was extinguished this time was a bit too long.
The two miniature versions of Sun Stones in the hands of Tian Shen and Xue Feng can only protect one No. 3 post. The torches at other posts are not so bright and flexible, and it is easy to find flaws in the night ghosts hidden in the dark.
Seeing that the god of heaven had no statement about the status quo, it was not easy for the king to ask for help from the god of heaven.
Wang secretly thought: If it really doesn't work, we can only let the tribe members ignite all the reserved torches at once, and we will overcome this crisis first.
The reason why Lu Tianshen did not express his opinion at this time was entirely because the Sun Stone was not lit up for a long time, which made Lu Yang himself a little panicked.
Although he had heard the shaman say that the Sun Stone would occasionally go out, he didn't know that this Galaxy Federation high-tech product was so unreliable. As soon as he arrived, he caught up with a major failure.
If he had known that he wouldn't have rushed over to pretend, so he might as well try to repair the Sun Stone as soon as possible.
With Chenxi, an ancient science and technology expert, there is still a certain probability that he can repair it.
Pretending to be X is a mistake!
"Chenxi, if we go to repair the Sun Stone now, how sure are you?" Lu Yang asked silently in his heart.
"This machine is only a quantum computer used for interstellar transmission and does not have radar functions. Currently, there is insufficient information available on Sunny Stone and cannot be analyzed."
When Chenxi faced a major choice, she still did not express her opinions as usual.
Lu Yang had no choice but to bite the strong flashlight into his mouth, take off the hunting rifle behind him and hold it in his hand to shoot.
He was not sure how these night ghosts would react to firearms, but if any night ghosts really approached here, he would not have better defense measures except for the gun in his hand.
Just as everyone was thinking differently and waiting anxiously, the Sun Stone, which was towering above the top of the mountain, suddenly flashed twice, emitting a dazzling light again.
Suddenly, the entire ancestor peak burst into cheers one after another.
After recovering from the light, the king looked at the shaman immediately.
"This time there are 214 breaths in total."
"Do you have 214 breaths?" Wang repeated the shaman's words.
Except for the crisis six eternal nights before, this is almost the longest failure in the Sun Stone extinguished on record.
Chapter completed!
