Acai's Sky

Chapter 954: Immortal Village Guardian 1

Acai carefully collected all the fragments and piled them together.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and clicked the "Submit" button.

In an instant, all the fragments disappeared without a trace with a "swish" sound, as if they were under a spell.

[Ding, player child Acai handed in 13621 fragments, and received a total of 4971665 Temple Crystal Coins]

Ah Cai breathed a sigh of relief, slowly raised her head, and looked towards the vast sea of ​​stars.

The endless starry sky and the surging ocean complement each other, giving people a feeling of endless tranquility and grandeur.

"Keep using your nets to intercept the debris."

Ah Cai muttered to herself, then she turned around and returned to her island to replenish energy for the halo that protected the island.

She watched the energy stone in her hand gradually shrink and finally disappear completely, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk tsk, if I don't have energy stones, I can only buy them in the temple mall. I still need to collect more resources."

At this moment, A Cai noticed that Tong Jiayuan was slowly landing on the isolated island on a maglev train.

Behind him was a huge fishing net filled with all kinds of fragments emitting a halo.

Ah Cai walked over curiously, looked at the fragments, and found that they were of different colors.

She picked up a red halo fragment and asked, "Does each color fragment represent a different level of danger? Is the red one the most dangerous?"

Tong Jiayuan shook his head and explained, "No, the black fragments are the most dangerous. But luckily we don't have any black fragments here. The red fragment in your hand is already quite dangerous. The other fragments are mostly blue or green, which are relatively safe."

Ah Cai dived into the red halo.

[Ding, welcome player Tong Acai to the village guard of Changsheng (2333). Please help the village guard survive for 5 days.]

[Ding, players who complete the mission will receive a thank-you gift from the village guards. Failure will be considered a death!]

[Ding, I wish players good luck in fighting! ]

A Cai moved her body and saw a young man in his twenties next to her. Is this the village guard?

The morning light slanted through the halo, weaving a layer of flowing golden gauze around the village guards.

He was born very thin, with blue veins winding like spider webs under his pale skin, but they made his peach blossom eyes look particularly clear, like a camellia hit by frost and snow, with petals slightly curled but still stubbornly blooming in bright colors.

The faded coarse cloth shorts hung loosely on his shoulders, and the copper bells tied around his waist were stained with mud, making tiny sounds as he moved, as if they contained the story of half a mountain.

"Outside guests?"

His voice was hoarse as if it had been ground by gravel, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the rusty hatchet at his waist. His knuckles were thick and deformed due to years of hard work, and dark red blood scabs were still congealed on the base of his thumb.

Suddenly, the blue veins on the back of his neck throbbed, and he turned abruptly to look in the direction of the village - a few wisps of black smoke were rising from the thatched roofs, and startled crows were flying across the gray sky.

The village guard's forehead was covered in cold sweat, wetting his drooping hair. Two flames rose in his peach blossom eyes: "The Black Evil has come to claim my life again!"

Before he finished speaking, he grabbed his hatchet and rushed down the mountain. The copper bell on his waist rang like a sudden rain, making a thrilling echo in the empty valley.

Only then did Ah Cai see the winding scar on the back of his neck. It looked like a hideous centipede, appearing and disappearing under his skin as he ran.

Before his heart had calmed down from the roar of "The Black Evil is here to take my life again", the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently.

The beams of the thatched hut groaned under the weight, and fine dust fell to the ground. The old woman huddled in the corner was so frightened that she hugged the baby in her arms even tighter.

The village guard suddenly stopped, the hatchet made a harsh sound on the gravel road, and the centipede scar on his neck twisted and squirmed like a living thing.

Black fog carrying the stench of rotting flesh surged in from the west of the village, like a rift in the underworld torn open by an invisible giant hand.

Ah Cai's eyelashes were instantly covered with frost, and a biting chill climbed up her spine. Only then did she see clearly that what was surging in the black fog was not ordinary fog, but thousands of pale white faces.

Their faces were swollen and deformed, their cloudy eyeballs bulged out of their sockets, their purple lips were wide open, and inky mucus oozed out amidst their silent roars, each drop of fluid that fell to the ground eroding a charred hole in the stone pavement.

"Close your eyes! Don't look at them!"

The village guard suddenly pulled Ah Cai's wrist, and his calloused palm was surprisingly hot.

The copper bell on his waist suddenly rang sharply, shattering the ghost in the front into pieces, turning it into black flocs floating in the air.

Ah Cai glimpsed through her fingers and saw that the bodies of those ghosts were translucent, and the blue ghost fire flickering in their chests could be vaguely seen, and their ankles wrapped in chains were deeply embedded in the ground, like prisoners nailed to the human world.

As the black fog drew closer, the entire village fell into an eerie silence. Even the crows, which had been fluttering about a moment ago, froze in mid-air, their feathers standing on end, as if an invisible hand were gripping their throats.

The village guard danced the hatchet into a silver halo, and wherever the wind from the knife passed, the ghosts let out a sharp scream like nails scratching glass.

Ah Cai noticed that whenever the blade touched the dark blue spot between the ghosts' eyebrows, they would let out a shrill scream, and before turning into ashes, they would project broken memory images - a bound girl, a collapsed ancestral hall, and rotten heads with broken arrows stuck on the ground.

"These are the souls devoured by the Black Evil!"

The village guard gasped and shouted, and the blood beads on his forehead splashed onto the back of Acai's hand, burning her so much that she almost jumped up.

His hatchet suddenly slipped out of his hand and was swept away by the chain formed by the ghosts, revealing dense teeth marks and scars on his forearm.

Only then did A Cai discover that each scar was glowing a strange blue, exactly the same as the ghost fire in the body of a ghost.

A deafening roar came from the depths of the black fog, and the entire black fog suddenly boiled.

Ah Cai felt that her eardrums were almost broken, and her nose was filled with the sweet and fishy smell of rust.

Countless ghosts suddenly twisted their bodies at strange angles, forming the outline of a giant human face in the air. From its hollow eye sockets flowed dark tears of blood, and it opened its maw, large enough to swallow an entire house, and pounced towards the village defenders...

Ah Cai directly summoned his own strange fire [Youyan], and at the moment when the giant mouth was about to swallow the village defenders, a dark flame exploded in the palm of his palm.

[Youyan] rushed out with a hissing sound like a living thing, and the air twisted into strange ripples under the high temperature. Wherever it passed, charred cracks appeared on the ground, as if it was an abyss scratched by invisible claws.

The edge of the flame was emitting a faint blue halo, which echoed the ghost fire in the ghost's body, but also carried a chilling aura of destruction.

"go with!"
