"Little Lu Ran?" Deng Yuxiang saw Lu Ran lost in thought and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Ah." Lu Ran replied absentmindedly.

His mind was all on the Evil Dog Evil Sculpture, eager to see how magnificent this evil sculpture would become.

But Deng Yuxiang had already approached him and said softly, "Why do you look like a Straw Demon?"

Lu Ran: "..."

This girl,

still keeping a grudge?

Deng Yuxiang's brow slightly furrowed: "It seems that your classmate does indeed have some influence on you."

After all, it was rare for her to see Lu Ran distracted on the battlefield.

"Just a buffoon, why mention him?" Lu Ran shook his head, "I was just startled by the Evil Dog's evil technique.

If we put this Evil Shadow Flash onto Yan Zhi and the others, how terrible would that be?"

Deng Yuxiang observed Lu Ran's expression closely, making a mental note of it, and then let it go.

She nodded gently and sighed softly, "This world hasn't completely exterminated us yet."

Human-shaped demons like Yan Zhi were already powerful enough.

They had keen minds, were mostly cunning and treacherous, and if they also mastered Instant Teleportation, how would the Human Clan survive?

To some extent:

Could Lu Ran himself fill this void, becoming such a "human-shaped demon"?

He believed he had a higher intellect than these creatures~

"River Realm Third Rank, River Realm Third Rank..."

Lu Ran murmured, fantasizing about a future filled with happiness.

"Let's go." Deng Yuxiang misunderstood again and consoled him, "Generally speaking, River Realm Evil Dogs rarely understand Evil Shadow Flash.

This Evil Dog is quite special."

"Yeah, let's go." Lu Ran nodded.

The team of five said farewell to the Moon Gazer team stationed here, leaving behind a chaotic lakeside dock, and walked out of Hexi Park.

Along the way, they fought and killed as they moved.

Occasionally, Lu Ran would also hear commands from the command center through the invisible earpiece.

Unfortunately, the locations mentioned by the superiors for reinforcement were all fairly distant from the team, mostly not in their jurisdiction.

Under the lead of Big Nightmare, Lu Ran kept patrolling the streets, circling round and round.

He had passed the old pedestrian bridge outside the park's main gate two or three times already.

He had even passed the entrance to his own residential complex twice.

Every time he passed by, the Rain Alley City residential complex seemed quiet from the outside, which reassured him greatly.

If only it could always be like this, and Little Civet wouldn't have to scream and run around in panic.

All in all, the Evil Demons invading the world were mainly from Mist Realm and Stream Realm, so Lu Ran often had the chance to show his mettle.

"Silence" became Lu Ran's mantra in battle.

He always whispered it to his Silent Night Blade before swinging it.

To cultivate a Divine Weapon, naturally, the right attitude was required.

And indeed, he achieved it – where he passed, there was silence!

At least, he achieved it with the help of the patrol team.

As time drew closer to midnight, everyone's hearts started to rise with tension.

The hours after 11 p.m. were the most difficult.

The pace at which Evil Demons invaded the world would accelerate and their overall strength would also increase significantly.

"Silence!"

In the glow of a streetlamp, Lu Ran's figure darted like a ghost, his feet shrouded in thick Immortal Fog, flashing behind a Fog Shadow Man.

The Night-cutting Blade aimed at the enemy's neck, but the Fog Shadow Man's unique body structure meant it did not fall apart upon being beheaded.

It deflated like a punctured ball, leaking heavy grey fog from its neck.

"Hisss!!"

The Fog Shadow Man shrieked in anger.

It picked up a cluster of fog with the misty claws and, purely by instinct, hurled it towards Lu Ran.

Not far away, Deng Yuxiang advanced step by step.

Always at the forefront, she walked in the very center of the road, not even glancing at the Fog Shadow Man.

The rest of the team followed in an orderly patrol, with only Lu Ran swiftly moving back and forth to engage the enemy.

Ten seconds later, when Lu Ran finally killed the Fog Shadow Man, Big Nightmare just happened to walk by.

"Let's go," Deng Yuxiang said without stopping.

"Oh!" Lu Ran looked up slightly, with the Divine Power Pearl around his neck absorbing the fog that had burst from the Fog Shadow Man.

Wool, naturally, comes from the sheep.

He had used Immortal Hoof so many times; it was only natural for the Fog Shadow Man to replenish the energy.

"Whooosh~"

Lu Ran used Immortal Hoof again, and his wide yellow raincoat rustled in the wind.

In a flash, he was beside Deng Yuxiang.

Unknowingly, Lu Ran already had the demeanor of a powerful martial artist.

It was just that he seemed oblivious, while his team members had long grown accustomed to it.

Deng Yuxiang looked at the young man beside her: "I told you to follow the team, to stay with Wei Long and Wei Hu, not with me."

"Oh, I see." Lu Ran muttered, "I thought we were divided into teams by color."

Deng Yuxiang glanced at him with a smile.

Her boots tapped on the wet asphalt with a da-da sound as she continued forward without pause.

Indeed, only she and Lu Ran wore yellow raincoats in the team; the others were all properly dressed in black raincoats.

Lu Ran stood still, waiting for the team behind him, and also watched Big Nightmare's solitary figure moving ahead.

Suddenly, for a brief moment, he seemed to see himself.

In Lu Ran's team, he too drifted alone on the outside.

"Jinxi Road, Jinxi Cake Shop!" Suddenly, a man's voice came through the earpiece.

"Team 008 is nearby..."

"At the cake shop entrance, a Barbaric Woman! A conservative estimate of River Realm Third Rank... Changzhi Street, parking lot outside the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital!"

"Team 021 is..."

"Go fast! The west side of the third primary school, the east side of Children Palace... Rain Alley City residential complex... central plaza, Wu Lie Building..."

In the earpiece, the man's voice became increasingly urgent, naming a string of places?!

Listening to this made everyone's hearts race, and their faces grew more somber.

Suddenly, the voice in the earpiece cut off abruptly!

This sudden silence was chilling, making everyone tense and anxious.

Lu Ran opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, a huge noise shattered the deathly silence.

"Woo~ woo~~~"

An alarm sounded!

The deep alarm blared outright, echoing throughout the stormy city.

Lu Ran finally knew why the voice in the earpiece had stopped.

The heart-shaking alarm, long-short, long-short...

A Night of Ghosts with alternating patterns.

So, were there battles everywhere?

"Barbaric Clan, Night of Ghosts," the man's voice finally came through the earpiece again.

"All patrol teams accelerate and stay on patrol in their own areas."

"The following areas are currently observed as severe invasion zones by Evil Demons, please proceed on your own: the third primary school, Children Palace..."

"Barbaric Clan, Barbaric Woman." Sun Zhengfang looked grave as he quickly scanned around.

"Whoosh~"

A gust of wind swept over, and with Lu Ran's nerves already on edge, he immediately placed his blade in front of him.

As he recognized the newcomer, Big Nightmare easily brushed aside his blade and wrapped her arms around Lu Ran.

The next moment, Deng Yuxiang threw him to Wei Long.

"Rain Alley City residential complex!" Sun Zhengfang suddenly spoke up.

At the same time, the team also heard this location in the list of disaster areas.

It was Lu Ran's address, and also within the patrol team's area!

"Go!"

"Move it, move it!" The team members immediately turned and flew towards the Rain Alley City residential complex.

"The Barbaric Woman is indeed powerful, but her race lacks mental strength and intelligence, which you can exploit." Wei Long flew rapidly, holding Lu Ran, and reminded him firmly.

"Yes!" Lu Ran immediately responded, his heart sighing heavily.

As expected, what was meant to come, still came.

Those truly powerful Believers were indeed unpredictable.

Since the powers of the Human Clan had come to Rain Alley City in advance, tonight, the city was bound to endure the storm.

Barbaric Woman, Barbaric Woman...

Lu Ran had never seen one with his own eyes, but he had long heard of this race.

They were human-shaped Evil Demons, donning armor and wielding axes, like fearsome gods of slaughter.

Wherever the Barbaric Clan went, the earth cracked and blood-drenched sand followed.

Generally, human-shaped Evil Demons had high levels of intelligence, and while they were ferocious and vicious, their style was also quite treacherous.

The Barbaric Woman, however, was an exception.

As the saying goes: when carrying a weapon, the urge to kill arises.

The Barbaric Clan possessed terrifying strength and strong evil techniques, with immense destructive power.

This clan didn't seem to need to play mind games with any creature at all.

Upon seeing an enemy, they just rolled over them...

"Stop!"

Deng Yuxiang ahead suddenly shouted sharply.

The forward momentum of the group came to an abrupt halt.

Lu Ran used his Extreme Vision, and next to the lamp where he had just slain the Fog Shadow Man, he saw an extraordinarily tall figure!

She resembled a Human Clan woman but had messy, blood-red hair.

Her blood-red eyes, still unremoved of their bestial nature, radiated an intense, bloodthirsty aura.

She wore armor made of finely crushed stones, with sand swirling faintly around her feet.

Majestic and imposing!

"Hisss..."

The Barbaric Woman tilted her head back slightly, taking a deep breath.

Her large body quivered, her face filled with evident excitement, almost grotesque!

As if she sensed the scent of Human Clan blood and tender flesh in the gloomy rainy weather?

"Whoosh!!"

Without a word, Deng Yuxiang raised her palm.

In an instant, a formidable tornado engulfed the Barbaric Woman within.

Within the gale, the Barbaric Woman's red hair whipped wildly.

But she herself stood firm in the violent storm.

Unmoved?!

Lu Ran's expression changed subtly; he was well aware of the power of Deng Yuxiang's storm!

Each time Big Nightmare unleashed a storm against enemies, she often gained some advantage.

It might confuse the enemy's formation, or even control the enemy until death.

Lu Ran himself had witnessed the powerful Yan Zhi being tossed around by the rampant storm.

But this Barbaric Woman...

She was like a mountain, standing firm.

Those blood-red eyes, emitting two frightening glimmers, seemed to pierce through the layers of the storm, directly into the hearts of the onlookers!

"Hahaha..."

Amidst the storm, the Barbaric Woman let out a wild laugh!

She seemed untouched by the pain of the gale and seemed to have her killing desires intensely stirred.

In her hand, she also held a large axe that had formed into shape...
