Rumble!
The black sea in the sky and the ineffable creature disappeared after a few breaths.
Wushan Village's panic subsided. People touched their bodies and looked at the sky, revealing smiles of relief.
Wei Fan arrived at the Night Watch Team's headquarters. Everyone was discussing the strange phenomenon that had just appeared.
Seeing that everyone was present, Shi Meng coughed and said, "Don't panic, everyone. That was just a 'Strange Phenomenon,' a mere illusory projection. It's a hundred and eight thousand miles away from our Wushan Village and won't affect us at all!"
Hearing this, everyone seemed to ponder.
"Strange Phenomenon?" Wei Fan had never heard this term before. However, based on its explanation, it sounded a bit like a [Mirage].
Without overthinking, Wei Fan collected his Little Flame Talisman again and walked towards the Wushan Village wall without a word.
According to Shi Meng, with the Monster Suppressing Stones in place, many Monstrosities couldn't directly enter Wushan Village.
However, Monstrosities had strong adaptability. If they became accustomed to the light of the Monster Suppressing Stones, they could enter Wushan Village.
The duty of all Night Watchers was to discover these Monstrosities lurking around the village and eliminate them.
Of course, a significant portion of Monstrosities would wander into the village unintentionally. If they showed no hostility, the Night Watchers wouldn't attack them proactively.
In reality, ordinary Night Watchers were almost equivalent to sentinels and scouts. To truly eliminate Monstrosities, one still needed someone like Shi Meng, a Vice Captain, to take action.
"Wei Fan, we're on the same team. Wait for me!" Zhang Zhi called out, chasing after him.
Wei Fan's gaze slightly deepened. This Zhang Zhi wasn't as pessimistic as the other Night Watchers; instead, he was very optimistic and relaxed.
This made Wei Fan feel it was extremely unusual.
Because of the terror of Monstrosities, ordinary Night Watchers were trembling, fearing for their lives. Yet, Zhang Zhi wasn't worried at all.
Does he have some kind of backing? Wei Fan thought to himself.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid of the Monstrosities? Don't worry, I'll protect you!" Zhang Zhi said proudly.
"No, it's because my last teammate died from talking too much!" Wei Fan said coldly.
"You... this!" Zhang Zhi was once again speechless by Wei Fan's words, his face turning red and then purple.
Kid, you're arrogant now. When we encounter a Monstrosity later, you'll be begging me to save you! Zhang Zhi thought fiercely.
For the rest of the time, he didn't foolishly try to strike up a conversation.
The two walked in the night, one after the other, patrolling the area inside and outside the stone wall.
The night was deep, and the area outside the village was peaceful and serene.
Faintly, specks of fireflies could be seen in the bushes. Their faint green light flickered weakly, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
Yet, they flickered with determination, evoking a sense of life's resilience and stubbornness.
"These are 'Night Fireflies.' Don't underestimate them just because they're small; they're also White Ghost Level Monstrosities!"
Zhang Zhi said softly from the side, "Although Night Fireflies are White Ghost Level Monstrosities, they are harmless. They don't attack people proactively, nor do they pose a threat to the village."
"White Ghost Level?" A glint flashed in Wei Fan's eyes.
In his view, White Ghost Level Monstrosities were equivalent to walking energy points.
Of course, Wei Fan didn't act rashly or impulsively to provoke them.
The fact that Night Fireflies could exist around the village for so long clearly wasn't because they didn't attack people proactively. There must be some other tricky reason.
Otherwise, they would have been eliminated by the Night Watch Team long ago!
"Hmph, don't let their White Ghost Level fool you. Night Fireflies are numerous. If you provoke them, you'll be surrounded by thousands, which would bring unimaginable disaster to the village," Zhang Zhi warned.
After watching the Night Fireflies dance for a while, Wei Fan and Zhang Zhi continued their patrol.
Due to the recent incidents involving the East District Night Watch Team, everyone was on high alert.
No one wanted to be the next one to die.
After completing a round of patrol, Wei Fan looked vigilantly towards the village.
A white shadow flashed in his vision!
A White Ghost Soul?
A cold glint flashed in Wei Fan's eyes!
He leaped off the stone wall and chased after the White Ghost.
"Hey, you dare to leave your post without authorization!" Zhang Zhi shouted from behind.
Wei Fan ignored him and chased after the White Ghost Soul alone.
Could there be more than one White Ghost Soul hidden in the village? Wei Fan thought to himself.
It's running so fast!
With a thought, Wei Fan immediately activated True Intent: Tiger's Breath, accelerating his pursuit.
Then, Wei Fan was surprised to find that the White Ghost Soul was actually fleeing towards the inner circle of the village.
Could it be that the effect of the Monster Suppressing Stones weakens at night, allowing the White Ghost to approach freely? Wei Fan couldn't help but frown.
Wei Fan only stopped chasing after the White Ghost Soul entered the inner perimeter and disappeared from sight.
What exactly is this White Ghost Soul? Wei Fan was filled with doubt.
He then returned to the stone wall and, upon seeing Zhang Zhi, asked again, "Do you know what's going on with that White Ghost Soul in the outer ring?"
Zhang Zhi raised an eyebrow at his words, then shook his head. "I'm not clear on it. This White Ghost isn't very dangerous, and it seems to be related to some adult's experiment in the inner ring. You'd best turn a blind eye!"
