"The situation has changed, I'm going to support them first!" Shi Meng said, and rushed towards the direction of the red distress signal.
Wei Fan's expression turned solemn, and he also quickened his pace to follow.
Wei Fan was also very curious about what level of Monstrosity would appear in response to a red distress signal.
After all, so far, the Monstrosities he had encountered were only Black Ghost Level.
With his current strength, Black Ghost Level Monstrosities could be easily dealt with.
This was why Wei Fan was confident enough to follow. After the Extreme Breakthrough of "Ironclad Ridge," Wei Fan's defense had been greatly enhanced, so he dared to go out and take some risks.
Wei Fan sprinted on the city wall, keeping pace with Shi Meng without being too fast or too slow.
Shi Meng ahead was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected Wei Fan's speed to be able to keep up with him.
But thinking that Wei Fan was a martial arts prodigy, he didn't doubt it too much.
The red Signal Flare came from the south district of the village. At their speed, they could reach it in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
On the distant city wall, they could see flickering torches and five figures from afar.
"Stop, don't get any closer!" Shi Meng stopped, and at the same time, he warned.
Wei Fan stopped when he heard this.
Looking ahead again, he was surprised to find that the five figures were completely still, like puppets, appearing very eerie in the flickering firelight!
"What kind of Monstrosity is this?" Wei Fan also became vigilant.
"I don't know!" Shi Meng shook his head, his face grim as he looked at the tall figure among the five.
That person, like Shi Meng, was also one of the Night Watcher Vice Captains, Zhao Hu, who possessed Divine Strength Realm cultivation.
Now that Zhao Hu was in danger, his life and death unknown, Shi Meng did not dare to put himself at risk.
Thump thump thump!
A huge charging sound came from the distance, and a burly man was seen crushing the ground as he charged over.
Wei Fan raised his eyebrows, because judging by this person's aura, he was clearly also a Divine Strength Realm martial artist.
At the same time, this person was also the Vice Captain of the West District—Zhao Long, who was Zhao Hu's twin brother.
"Brother Hu!" Zhao Long, seeing Zhao Hu's motionless figure, glared with rage and was about to rush forward to rescue him.
"Don't be rash! Come back!" Shi Meng reminded him.
"Mind your own business!" Zhao Long retorted, and after attaching two Talismans to his saber hilt, he charged forward.
Buzz!
As soon as Zhao Long approached the eerie area, the torch stuck in the city wall suddenly flared up intensely.
The people who had been still just moments ago now had their heads unnaturally twisted 180 degrees, their spines snapping with a chilling sound!
Seeing this, Shi Meng and the others' faces changed, and a chill ran down their spines.
"Hmm?" Zhao Long stopped his body, his face extremely grim.
He wasn't an idiot. The Night Watchers in the south district were clearly not going to survive.
The threat of death poured down on him like a basin of ice water, making him calm down instantly.
And with no sign of any Monstrosity around, Zhao Long felt a desire to retreat.
Just then, the five figures in the distance turned into five black shadows and charged towards Zhao Long.
"Scram!" Zhao Long slashed out with his saber, clashing with the first figure's steel saber, sparks flying.
"The strength of ordinary Night Watchers is amplified after a Monstrous Transformation?" Zhao Long did not dare to be careless and immediately used his triple burst secret technique, his body swelling again.
Bang bang bang! The powerful force directly sent the three mutated Night Watchers behind him flying.
Clang!
It was at this moment that the transformed Zhao Hu slashed at him with his saber.
Facing his former brother, Zhao Long hesitated for a moment and blocked with his saber.
But Zhao Hu was already a Divine Strength Realm martial artist, and after being strengthened by the Monstrous Transformation, his strength was astonishing. Zhao Long could not resist for a moment, his right arm was directly broken, and he was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
"I didn't expect Zhao Long to not even be able to take one move!" Shi Meng's expression was grave.
Because Zhao Long's strength was slightly greater than his own.
If Zhao Long couldn't resist, it meant he was no match for the transformed Zhao Hu either.
After knocking Zhao Long down, the five people's heads twisted unnaturally again, and their eerie gazes all turned towards Shi Meng and Wei Fan.
"Not good, Little Fan, run!" Shi Meng warned, drawing his saber and turning to face the five.
Seeing this, Wei Fan knew that Zhao Long was buying him time to escape, and his heart couldn't help but feel a warmth.
But through his observation, he had already discovered the weakness of these Monstrosities.
Whoosh!
Wei Fan drew his saber as fast as lightning, striking after them but arriving before them. With a flash of silver light, the bodies of the five mutated martial artists froze in place.
"?" Shi Meng looked at Wei Fan, completely bewildered.
He didn't understand why Wei Fan's single strike had made them stop attacking.
After all, the situation had been critical, and he had been prepared to get injured.
Now, because of Wei Fan's single strike, the situation had instantly reversed.
"These people are being controlled by some kind of transparent threads," Wei Fan said, holding his blade horizontally. The blade itself had glistening, semi-transparent threads on it, which were hard to spot if you weren't looking closely.
"So that's how it is!" Shi Meng nodded.
However, Shi Meng was inwardly deeply shaken. At such a critical moment, Wei Fan had managed to calmly observe these tiny threads. Such calmness and rationality were truly rare.
