Nightmare Light

Chapter 80: Ignite the Village
A few minutes later, we were in the small square in the center of the village.

"Such a good village is going to be burned down..." Dog Brother looked at the small villages around him with a painful look on his face.

Lin Wang looked at Gou Ge in confusion: "Why do you feel so bad about this?"

"Ahem." Dog Brother coughed. "Actually, I also know there's a sacrificial array down there, and it has to be burned. It's just that it hurts when it actually burns... You don't know, our group..."

Several mercenaries covered their faces: "The boss has started again."

"Brother Gou is good in every way, except for his stinginess... I'm really worried that one day he'll start fighting with an old lady on the street for a cardboard box... What's that expression on your face?"

"Brother Gou really grabbed it."

"what?!"

Gou Ge couldn't hold back any longer and coughed, "Ahem! Get to your guard positions!"

"Yes!" Several mercenaries dispersed in an instant.

Lin Wang's face trembled.

Just at this time, Gu Shuochuan walked up to Lin Wang and said, "Brother Lin, everything is ready."

Lin Wang asked casually, "Old Gu, will you and your people feel bad about burning down these villagers' houses?"

"Just burn it." Lao Gu's tone was like throwing away an apple core.

"We, the Mist Tribe, have been constantly losing things along the way."

"The ancestral motto of the Mist Tribe is: As long as you can reach home, you can abandon everything."

“These are just houses.”

A few more villagers came over, staggering and gesturing with their hands.

[People of the North, we want to express our gratitude to you.]

【And...farewell.】

Lin Wang nodded: "Have you chosen... the people who will stay?"

[The Mist Tribe are aware of sacrifice, so there's no need to feel sad for us.]

Lin Wang nodded: "I will try my best to save as many people as possible."

Several members of the Mist Tribe nodded slowly, turned around and walked to the edge of the small square, standing at the position that had been chosen long ago.

Lin Wang took a deep breath and walked towards the center of the square.

At this moment, the cat girl suddenly looked around with a confused look.

"Meow, I seem to remember something. Meow, this scene in front of me feels very familiar..."

She began to get anxious and irritable, and started spinning around in circles.

"What did you forget, Nyan? Why does this place... feel so familiar?"

Seeing this, Lin Wang was about to ask, but he saw the cat girl suddenly look up and sniff hard.

"Meow, I smell it! Those guys are coming!"

She got on all fours and dashed out, leaving behind a fading voice: "Meow, go stop them!"

With that, the cat girl rushed out of the village.

What happened to this guy just now?
Lin Wang was a little curious, but the cat girl was so powerful that he was not worried about her safety.

He shook his head and regained his composure.

"let's start."

Flames rose beneath his feet, and a giant of white fire suddenly stood up in the flames, just as it was written in the oldest myth:

The demon of white fire stood up and ignited the old world. The embryonic form of the new world sprouted in the embers of the flames.

Bones crackled, flames crackled, and tongues of white flame emerged from under the giant's feet and rushed towards the surroundings.

Endless white flames surged like waves in all directions, onto the ground, courtyard walls, dead trees... gradually spreading to the entire village.

The village and the earth trembled.

The world beneath Lin Wang's feet seemed to sense the presence of the flames. The black earth began to surge, and along with the crumbling walls, it squirmed and transformed into high walls, blocking the white flames.

The high wall surged, and the fierce white fire suddenly stopped. But the next second, the white fire suddenly jumped up, becoming more violent, enveloping the entire high wall.

The flames bypassed the high walls, devoured the houses, and wrapped around the trees and rocks... In the end, the entire village was engulfed in flames.

Lin Wang stood more than 20 meters in the air, his eyes slowly sweeping across the ground.

He saw that the entire village was shrouded in an endless sea of ​​white.

He saw that a considerable number of cultists were rushing towards the village from all around, and the light-seekers and mercenaries were waving mundane objects that flashed with colorful lights as they rushed towards the enemy.

He saw three or four particularly conspicuous cultists, with wax swirling around them and crazy and ferocious expressions, rushing towards the village with wax figures.

Then he was hit head-on by the angry cat girl, and broke into dozens of pieces, which were evenly scattered on the ground.

Lin Wang lowered his gaze to the center of the village.

In the middle of the village, hundreds of villagers stood in a circle around the small square.

When the white fire started, the villagers danced.

The Mist Tribe members raised their toes, rubbed their feet forward, pinched two fingers together, bent the other three, stretched their arms upwards, and swung them in the fire.

They were wrapped in flames and danced in the fire. The flames dispelled the mist from their bodies, but also ignited their flesh and blood.

When the flames were about to completely engulf the villagers, Lin Wang saw that the villagers turned around in the blazing white flames.

They moved toward him.

Waved.

The next second, the flames completely engulfed the villagers. [Northerners, thank you.]

There is no need to thank me. It was you who truly saved you.

……

At the entrance of the village, Lao Qiao knocked a cultist away with his shield and wiped the sweat from his head and face.

He suddenly felt something and turned his head sharply, but because he was too nervous, he gripped the edge of the shield tightly, and the veins in his hands bulged.

But his eyes were always fixed on the village in the distance, a horrible scene that was enough to be painted in religious texts.

He saw the Northman standing in the middle of the village, his body covered in pale flames, emitting terrible explosions. The giant burning with white flames, like someone who had walked out of an ancient legend, raised his hands to confront the endless black fire and wax.

He saw hundreds of villagers gathered around him like sacrifices; mist and white flames intertwined around them; they danced in the flames like mad believers, ready to sacrifice themselves to an ancient demon...

He saw that under the village, there was something huge and indescribable, like a transparent octopus with countless tentacles, struggling and twisting in the flames, trying to rush out of the ground and attack the giant.

But it was burned and exploded in the endless flames.

The next second, the entire village, the villagers, and the indescribable things under the village gradually dissipated into endless snow-white ashes amid endless explosions and sighs.

The wind is coming.

Fat Tiger saw that in a gust of wind that appeared out of nowhere, the entire village disappeared like snow.

At that moment, he seemed to hear a faint voice in the void.

Home...

……

Lin Wang retracted the flames and transformed back into a giant.

When the fire was extinguished and the village disappeared, standing before Lin Wang were dozens of villagers.

Their postures were no longer twisted, their steps no longer staggered, they stared at each other, stunned.

The next second, someone squatted on the ground and started crying loudly.

Some villagers hugged each other tightly, while others knelt on the ground to thank their ancestors and gods.

Several villagers looked at each other, walked up to Lin Wang, and bowed deeply to him.

Leading the way was the eldest sister with mist dripping from her chin. She bowed deeply to Lin Wang and said, "Northerners, on behalf of the entire village... no, all the Mist Clan members, thank you."

Gu Shuochuan was also nearby. He nodded to his people first, then bowed deeply to Lin Wang. "Brother Lin, my previous promise will remain valid forever. From today on, you will be the eternal friend of all the Wu people."

Lin Wang waved his hand and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a hysterical roar from behind the villagers not far away.

"asshole!"

People turned their heads and saw a scarred cultist standing not far away with gritted teeth.

There was almost no intact part of his body; even the pottery jar in his hand was reduced to fragments.

His body was covered with wounds in all directions, and wax was flowing from the wounds.

The cultist looked furious and ferocious: "You've ruined my religion's cause!"

From a distance, Lin Wang saw the white cat running towards him quickly, and at the same time, an anxious voice came: "Lin Wang! Meow, I didn't expect this person to turn into wax..."

Before she could finish, the cultist moved.

He let out a strange cry, raised his hands, and wax spurted out of his wounds and rushed towards the villagers.

"The sacrifice has no right to live!"

At this time, Gu Shuochuan suddenly raised his hand, and a dim yellow mist appeared out of thin air, blocking the wax.

The wax suddenly slowed down for a second as it passed through the mist.

Immediately afterwards, countless paper ribbons rushed towards the wax and formed a huge paper bowl in front of the wax.

The next second, the wax poured into the bowl.

The cultist was stunned: "What kind of vulgar magic is this!"

A fist burning with white fire appeared in front of him.

"You have no right to know."

boom!
The fist landed on the cultist's face, and half of his face instantly melted into a pool of wax.

Immediately afterwards, under the huge impact force, the cultist fell heavily to the ground, even creating a deep pit in the ground.

At this moment, the white cat also arrived.

The cat girl's amber eyes were filled with self-blame and regret. She let out an angry whine from her throat, raised her claws high, and pounced on the cultists at incredible speed.

To normal eyes, one can only see a black flash of light.

The next second, Lin Wang grabbed the cat girl's hand.

"calm down."

"I need this guy alive."

The cat girl still maintained her angry expression, growling and whimpering, wanting to pounce on the cultists.

But she was stunned immediately, looked at her wrist, and then looked at Lin Wang in surprise, as if she didn't expect that someone would grab her wrist.

"How can you catch Meow?" She opened her mouth and shook her head vigorously. "No one can catch up with Meow's speed!"

Just as Lin Wang was about to speak, Gou Ge came running over, panting.

"Brother Lin! Something happened!"

"May is gone!"
