Ma'am, I like you!

"At first we thought it was just an ordinary beast, but after realizing it was a monster, we started to build fortifications, but it was still too late."

No wonder this seemingly small village has such a high wall, and even dug a moat around it, turning it into a temporary fortress with a strange painting style.

"At least there are no more casualties." Su Ming said, which was considered comforting.

A group of farmers can construct this kind of fortification in such a short period of time, which is definitely considered an extremely fast response.

Rooney didn't seem to appreciate it, he shook his head and said, "It's only temporary."

"We have been stared at by that thing. It has been approaching every night for the past few days. I don't know how long the fortifications made of wood and clods can last. It may be in the next second..."

"Roar!"

At this moment, there was a loud roar from outside.

"Looney! Monster! The monster is coming!!"

Su Ming glanced at Rooney who was stunned in front of her. Even if she didn't speak, she could tell what she was thinking from her eyes.

This mouth is really powerful.

Chapter 530: Attacking the Village

In the quiet and peaceful shop just now, four or five villagers wearing cheap rattan armor and holding sickles and machetes suddenly broke in.

They all looked panic-stricken, trying their best to find a savior who could save them from danger.

That person was naturally Rooney who was sitting in front of Su Ming.

"Rooney! Rooney!!"

The young flustered lad came up to Rooney and shouted hastily.

Rooney is worthy of being a leader. After only two or three seconds of being dazed, he immediately put down his glass, got up and picked up a sickle hanging on the wall.

"Land and Stone, go and wake up the resting and sleeping people in the village with a gong, and Bruce and I will go to the gate of the village together!"

"Don't panic, as long as we persist for two hours, we will be safe at dawn!"

Under Rooney's order, the panicked villagers took action immediately, and Rooney himself ran all the way to the gate of the village.

Su Ming, who was still sitting at the table, held a wooden teacup and thought for a while.

"It's dawn in two hours... In other words, the day here is much faster than the real world, it should be about six times."

One hour in the morning, one hour in the afternoon, and two hours in the night.

Su Ming quickly came to this conclusion.

"Eh? What's the matter? Rooney?" Rooney's mother, who heard the movement from the back kitchen, also came out with a rag.

"Something happened outside the village. It seems that the monster came, and Rooney went to command." Su Ming said.

"Is that so?" The old lady frowned, with a worried expression on her face, "Why did it take the initiative to attack again? It hasn't been here since we built the fortification... Sigh, I don't know if those children can withstand it ..."

"Oh, by the way, girl, don't be afraid. As long as you stay here, you are safe. Every household in our village has dug cellars. If there is any situation, you can hide in the cellar with me."

Su Ming smiled and nodded.

Then she raised her hand and took a sip of the drink in the glass.

Sour but not astringent, sweet but not greasy.

"Is this made by the old man himself?"

"Ah? Oh, you mean this apple juice, right? That's right." The old lady wanted to show off her skills, but she didn't expect Su Ming to put down her glass and walk outside.

"Girl, I went wrong! The cellar is here!"

"Old man, I'm going to pick some apples from your family."

"what?"

"is it not OK?"

"Uh... yes." The old man nodded, "The apple tree is in the yard behind the store...but at this time you..."

Before the grandma could finish speaking, Su Ming stepped out of the warm room, and came to the noisy and tense cold room outside.

The sound of dogs barking and babies crying constantly, and the sound of irregular and rhythmic footsteps can be heard endlessly.

Under the noise of noise and shouting, people were rushing to the gate of the village with torches and kitchen utensils.

At this time, no one noticed that Su Ming had jumped to the roof of the store.

Stepping on the chimney, Su Ming, who occupies a high place, overlooks the outside of the village.

The endless night dyed everything into its own color, but this darkness couldn't block her eyes.

On the path outside the village, Su Ming saw a dark animal walking towards him.

The "darkness" is not because Su Ming can't see clearly, but because the animal itself is a mass of black. If it weren't for those bright red eyes, Su Ming might immediately regard it as a mass of black mist with unknown meaning.

"Is that it?" Su Ming stood on the chimney and looked at it for a while.

Although it was still far away, the fluctuation of spiritual power coming from there was still very clear.

The strength of this thing is not that strong. According to the realm of human cultivation, it should be at the innate level.

Of course, for ordinary people, an innate powerhouse is already almost like a superman, let alone an innate level monster.

Most non-human creatures have bodies that are far stronger than humans. In the same realm, humans are likely to be inferior to monsters in terms of strength.

And the "body" of this thing is obviously incomprehensible even to humans.

-

The gate of the stockade.

Rooney, who ran over, immediately asked the villagers in charge of the night watch, "Where's the torch?!"

"Torch?"

"Light all the torches next to the walls, haven't I said many times before?!"

Rooney's roar made the person who was already in panic because of the sudden attack of the monster even more terrified. Fortunately, someone else reacted at this time and immediately led a few people to split up to light all the torches.

Beasts have a natural fear of fire, even if the monster is not an ordinary beast, as long as it can deter or hold back its progress, it is very necessary.

After checking the defensive facilities up and down, Rooney came to the sentry tower and looked into the distance.

He also saw the scene that Su Ming saw just now.

But he was obviously not as calm as Su Ming, and his face immediately sank.

"Why, why did it come over suddenly?"

"That's right, didn't it mean that if our fortifications are done well, it will retreat in spite of difficulties?"

"Is it because something attracted it?"

"Something? Could it be...that woman?"

"Is that right? You think so too? That person looks different. I heard from Johnny who died before that that thing seems to be intelligent. That woman is so pretty... Maybe it's the culprit..."

"enough!"

Just as everyone's guesses became more and more outrageous, Rooney who came down from the simple watchtower stopped them.

"All return to their posts, don't you know what will happen if this thing enters the wall?!"

Under Rooney's awe and reminder, everyone finally put away their wild thoughts, and all held the weapons in their hands nervously and seriously, waiting for the arrival of that thing.

Rooney was also in front of the archery opening of the wall, holding the only good bow in the village, waiting for the monster to approach.

He also imagined the villagers' speculation, but Rooney felt that the greater possibility was what he feared: that thing had penetrated the fortifications.

And what Rooney is most worried about is not the strength of the monster itself.

The powerful strength and fast speed are terrifying, but it is not impossible for everyone to work together.

What worries Rooney the most is what the villagers said just now, that thing may have wisdom.

Once it knows how to learn and learn to sum up experience like a human being, the village will not be able to keep it forever.

"I hope...it won't happen."

Just after Rooney finished praying in his heart, a villager exclaimed.

"Look! That thing! That thing has taken a detour!"

"What is it going to do?!"

"It seems to be going to the back of the village, but I remember that there are no loopholes behind the village? We specially reinforced it with firewood piles before."

Everyone still didn't know what the monster wanted to do, but Rooney's face turned black.

Ever since he met his lover, Rooney, who had always been calm, began to panic for the second time.

"It's going to light those firewood," Rooney murmured.

"Ah? How is it possible, isn't it a beast? Why, how could it do such a thing?!"

Before everyone recovered, the villagers on the watchtower saw an unbelievable scene: a group of black phantoms circled in the dark and came to the back of the village, and then a gust of wind wiped out all the fires they had just lit. It blew on the firewood stacked inside the wall.

In an instant, the flames burst into flames.

Beasts are afraid of fire, but this thing is obviously not a beast.

Chapter 540 Who made the move?

The village's defenses are all in the front, and the rear thinks that it will be unbreakable after being reinforced.

It took less than two seconds to be defeated, and even the pitch-black monster didn't make a move, and just relying on a gust of wind, all the fortifications they had worked so hard to build were wiped out into the raging fire.

When Rooney and everyone hurriedly turned around and rushed to the scene behind the village, the fire was completely out of control.

The towering flames roared wildly with the wind, like a mad lion.

The villagers had no idea what to do.

Whether to put out the fire or retreat.

"Rooney..."

Everyone looked at Rooney.

"Spread out and prepare to meet the enemy." After speaking, Rooney picked up the bow and arrow and pointed at the flame.

The object he aimed at was of course not the raging flames, but something behind the flames.

The scarlet eyes can be seen clearly even through the scorching firelight.

That monster hides in the darkness, as long as it doesn't take the initiative to show up, even under such raging firelight, it still only sees its eyes, not its body.

"This thing is intelligent..."

After confirming this point, Rooney seemed particularly nervous.

But he can't express this emotion, otherwise the people around him will lose morale immediately.

However, Rooney is not sure how long he can last.

He held the bow firmly, as if warning the creatures behind the flame not to approach at will.

The creature seemed to be really frightened, still hiding in the darkness.

"It, it seems to be afraid of fire? Hey, isn't that just right?"

"Yeah, it looks like it's afraid of fire, maybe it accidentally ignited the firewood?"

"Our firewood is enough to burn for two hours. If this continues, we will be safe!"

Everyone is guessing that the monster's lack of movement is due to the influence of the flames.

But Rooney was different. He saw a hint of... joking in those faint red eyes.

The darkness split a foot, and a human-like pitch-black figure stepped out of the night.

"Humanoid?!"

The villagers were stunned.

"It will change shape, pay attention!" Rooney shouted loudly.
