Chapter 51: The Shadow of the Night

The next day, early morning.

The golden sunlight pierces the clouds blocking the horizon, and infinite light sprinkles the earth.

This is a rare autumn sun.

There was a strange atmosphere over the entire Xina area.

The joy of victory in the decisive battle, the sorrow of death of relatives and companions, intertwined, turning into a vast net, covering the entire Hena District. When we walked on the street, people had only two expressions, either ecstasy or silently sad.

After all, truly clearing away the clouds that have been called "giants" over humans for a hundred years has surpassed the sorrow of death and became the mainstream of this ancient city. Or perhaps, they have long been used to death and are so indifferent at this moment.

For humans, today is a big day!

A big day!!

The middle and upper rulers of the kingdom such as Monte and Morand were particularly happy, and the smile on their faces never stopped.

If it weren't for the fact that there were giants outside the city walls and there was really not enough manpower, they all wanted to take out the grain and other supplies in the reserve warehouse to celebrate the whole country.

What a great achievement was that they had regained the country and eliminated the giants who had oppressed mankind for more than a hundred years. They all began to fantasize that their names were written in the history books of later generations.

They did not do this, and the displeasure revealed by Lan Fenghuang and others was also an important factor. The ability of government agencies to collect information was very terrible. They all knew that if Lan Fenghuang and Zhang Shen and six others killed the giant's leader, the war would not have ended so soon.

Although some of the opinions of the guards also admire their achievements, they are more afraid of their strength!

As for the large number of soldiers and civilians who died under the massacre of giants after they broke through the city wall, they did not care at all. One was already used to death, and the other was that in their hearts, soldiers and civilians were just some numbers.

On this day, Shina City was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, with fragmented and continuous noise.

The guardian's building.

Lan Fenghuang told everyone with certainty that there would be no giants coming in the past three days. After receiving this news, Zhang Shen turned around and left, returned to the room, and slept soundly, using deep sleep and several other small means to calm down the spiritual origin that was not lightly damaged due to constant overdrawing.

Yesterday's bloody and tragic taught the newcomers a profound lesson. When they walked out of the building to hope to share the joy of defeating the giant, but sadly found that they were out of place with the city, they suddenly realized that they were just passers-by, and then they returned to the building one after another to work hard to cultivate the abilities they had drawn.

Li Jinglan and Phoenix and the other two were not interested in running around and returned to their respective rooms.

This small building exudes a different kind of aura, as if it is independent of this world and incompatible with each other.

A peaceful day passed peacefully.

Zhang Shen didn't wake up until after three in the morning.

When he opened his eyes, he looked confused and had a muddy expression, his eyes were full of focus, and he was confused and unconscious.

It took him several minutes to wake up from this trance and figure out the situation.

Half an hour later, he came out of the bathroom and felt refreshed, and from the inside out, he felt refreshed.

This deep sleep has a great effect on the recovery of his spiritual sea.

Zhang Shen practiced the "Qianyin Spirit Training Method" exchanged. In addition to the methods, tricks, taboos, and self-healing methods after injury, this deep sleep is a relatively simple, convenient and effective method.

Because it is simple, the natural effect is limited.

After taking a shower and changing into comfortable clothes, when Zhang Shen entered the meditation and "seeing inwardly", he found that he seemed to have black spots on the surface of the spiritual origin of a brilliant ocean.

The existence of these dark spots caused Zhang Shen to cause a tear-breaking pain when he activated his mental power, and he could not continue to meditate and practice his mental power before they disappeared!

Opening his eyes, Zhang Shen let out a long breath, his expression a little helpless.

"Although I know that it's most of the time, I'd better try it." He murmured to himself. He took out more than a dozen bottles and jars from the storage equipment, all of which were "theoretically" able to slightly recover from mental injuries.

Three or four in the morning is the time when people sleep the most. In addition to the patrolling soldiers in the entire Shina City, there are only a few people who have not slept like Zhang Shen. The others are sleeping deeply at this moment, immersed in dreams of good or bad.

At the other end of the Hina District, which is far from the small building, there is a slum living area.

At this time, all the lights in rows of houses were extinguished, and the black ones were covered with black ones. Even with the help of the faint moonlight and stars falling from the sky and the stars and fires in other places, they could only barely see the shape of the buildings and the lines of the roads.

In such a deep darkness, suddenly-

Two balls of fire ignited!

The light with a little green in the darkness is extremely strange!

If you look closely, there is no firelight, it is clearly

Eye!!

This is clearly an unknown beast. It has a pair of cat-like eyes. The darker it is, the more it shines, and emits a heart-wrenching weird brilliance.

What’s even more strange is that the eyes of this mysterious beast clearly show the coldness and loftiness that only humans have!!

It looked around for a while and determined the target.

It was an ordinary house, with one floor and an attic. With the help of the light of the beast's eyes, you could see the "patches" on the window frame and the dilapidated but clean walls. It should be the residence of a poor man of good quality.

In fact, this is a family of four. Parents who work for others to maintain family expenses have one son and one daughter. The eldest son is twelve years old. In another two years, they will reach the age of joining the army. The daughter is eight years old and helps her mother with some housework at home.

An ordinary family of four.

During the day today, his parents were still glad that they did not live in the city gate and near the waterway, and the family of four was able to escape the massacre of the giants. However, he never expected that he would be targeted by a mysterious beast at night.

The evil beast's movements were light and agile, even more agile than a cat. There was no noise during the marching, and it appeared at the door of the house in the blink of an eye.

With the help of the faint light, you can see that its size is about the size of a foal, and it looks like a wolf, but it is a bit different.

It circled around the house and stayed in place for more than ten seconds, as if it was "thinking" where to enter.

After a moment, it made a decision.

Afterwards, it showed the climbing ability that all creatures of wolf and dog are ashamed of.

It suddenly charged forward, then jumped up suddenly, and ten cold claws suddenly poked out, piercing deep into the gaps in the wall bricks, very firm enough to make it hang on the wall and not fall off.

Its claws were so sharp that it did not make any sound when it pierced into the wall.

With the help of the powerful claws and the coordination that was stronger than the cat, the evil beast quickly climbed onto the roof.

It moves forward quietly, with a very clear goal, a chimney on the roof.

It had a meat pad on its soles, and its claws were retracted, and it slowly crawled forward, and soon arrived next to the chimney.

If it is a normal beast, even if it knows to enter from the chimney, it will probably put its head in first. However, this mysterious beast is not the case. It is like a human, knowing to stretch out a pair of hind legs first...

Using this strange method, its entire body gradually retracted into the chimney and disappeared.

A few minutes later, a faint smell of blood came from the house.

After a few minutes, the smell of blood became weaker, as if the wild beast had licked the blood together.

A slight and unaudible "creak" sound was heard, and the door of this family was actually opened.

It squeezed out from the slit, and a pair of Yingying eyes looked around for a while, as if they were confirming that their movements were not seen by anyone.

After confirming it, it slid into the dark night again.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The day after the final battle.

After Zhang Chan confirmed what he needed to complete today, his face was wrinkled in a bitter way.

First of all, the five gaps in the city wall must be repaired!

This is undiscussed, and it is impossible to refine an earth wall as a patch like last time. After all, no one knows whether the "escape" level 4 giants will make a comeback after they have divided their property.

If it comes, the Wall of Hina is the first and last line of defense, and it must be taken seriously.

Zhang Chan planned to first figure out what kind of structure the original city wall was, and strive not only to repair it, but also to be the same as before and even stronger.

The only thing Zhang Shen expected was that the reason why the upgraded version of Shina's Wall would look like that was not caused by the super props used by the previous group of guards.

After all, Zhang Shen's alchemy is still the "scientific side". If the wall of Shina contains the mysterious side, he can only sigh and sigh and do nothing.

The second is the weapons of the kingdom soldiers, especially the two types of artillery.

The wall of Shina was broken, and all the cannons fixed on it were destroyed!

You know, that is the accumulation of the kingdom for decades!

After decades of accumulation, it is destroyed in one go. If you want to recover in the shortest time, there is no other way except Zhang Shen's alchemy.

The cannon is placed first, and then there are small cannons that can be moved.

With the strong desire to protect one's own lords, the small cannons still retained almost a quarter of the number. Compared with the terrible wall cannons that were wiped out by the entire army, they were very lucky.

City walls and arms are the primary priority. Others such as house ruins cleaning and road cleaning are trivial matters. They seem to be heavy, but in fact they are extremely simple and can be done with just one move.

After confirming the planned itinerary for the next few days, Zhang Shen went to the city gate accompanied by Li Jing.

"It's late autumn, and it's getting colder at night. I feel cold even if I haven't opened the window."

"Hey, was it cold last night? Why didn't I think it was. I opened the window."

"Hey??Is it my illusion?!"

"Hmph, it must be the captain, you have done something bad recently, I feel guilty~~"

"Ahhaha...how is it possible? There is absolutely nothing like this! Besides, I want to do something to you, but unfortunately I don't have a chance..."

"Take~~ I have a thief heart but no courage!"
