Nightmare Light

Chapter 246 Dragon-Headed Soldiers, Yellow Millet Land

"Don't touch him!"

As Lin Wang shouted, Dog Brother's hand landed on the shoulder of a soldier who was fast asleep.

The next second, countless fine bluish-black scales sprouted from the soldier's head and face, his face began to elongate, and dozens of pale white fangs grew from his sharp, long mouth.

Dog Brother was taken aback and quickly let go and backed away.

In that moment, he displayed the qualities expected of a veteran mercenary.

Dog Brother swiftly pulled out a handful of talismans, which weighed at least three pounds: "Demon, take this righteous blow!"

After saying that, he threw the talisman into the sky.

Then he turned and ran.

Just as the talismans were about to land on the soldier, he, or rather it, opened its eyes, revealing a pair of brownish-yellow vertical pupils.

The soldier ignored the talisman falling from the sky, his brownish-yellow eyes slowly sweeping over the crowd in front of him.

The light in his eyes gradually transformed from initial confusion and bewilderment into evil and cruelty.

Its face was covered in bluish-black scales, with two sharp horns arching on its forehead, along with a flat, long mouth and a mouthful of sharp teeth.

The head looked like a strange crocodile, or a mythical beast commonly found on the eaves of some Chinese buildings.

That's strange... How come this world has this style too... Something that looks a bit like a dragon's head?

The thought flashed through Lin Wang's mind.

But the monster before him didn't give him much time to think.

The dragon-headed monster raised its head and roared, and the next second, all the snoring sounds in the room disappeared.

People saw that all the soldiers in the camp staggered out of their beds, and then scales grew on their faces and their mouths began to grow longer.

Some soldiers, as they completed the transformation, swayed their bodies, raised their hands, and howled as they walked towards the crowd.

Bai Xiaoxiao took out her ordinary tools—a wooden hammer in one hand and a wooden nail in the other—and asked nervously, "What, what's going on with these soldiers?!"

She even tried shouting at a soldier: "We're from the Wild Wolf Regiment! We're from Tangsheng City! Calm down! Where are your officers?"

The dragon-headed soldier responded with a roar.

The first few soldiers rushed towards the four men.

Dog Brother yelled, tripped a soldier with his stilts, and started putting a lion head on his own head.

Bai Xiaoxiao raised the wooden nail, aimed it at a soldier, raised the wooden hammer high, and smashed it down on the nail, shouting, "Soul Suppression!"

One of the dragon-headed soldiers stopped abruptly. She strode forward and used her wooden hammer to send the soldier flying.

Lin Wang pulled May behind him, then raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air towards a soldier who rushed in front of him.

The soldier swayed and fell to the ground.

May hid behind Lin Wang, her eyes shining with excitement: "This is so exciting!"

“Most of these soldiers are still at the mortal level. Compared to ordinary soldiers, their strength and defense are much higher, but their thinking and reactions have become very sluggish... Unless their numbers are extremely astonishing, they are not a cause for concern.” Lin Wang was still analyzing the situation of these soldiers during a break in the battle.

He said, "I suspect that the fog outside the door and the mutation of these soldiers were caused by the same person... or the same group of people."

Dog Brother, wearing a lion's head and walking on stilts, shook his head and somersaulted, knocking a soldier over: "Is there even a question!"

Suddenly, a majestic and powerful voice resounded from the void: "Mortals! How dare you slander me!"

Then the voice said again, "I had only meant well, yet you all..."

"Who are you?" Lin Wang shouted.

"Mortals! You have no right to know who I am!" the voice roared. "All you need to know is that it is I who are protecting these soldiers!"

"But your words just now were a great insult to me! You must atone for your sins!"

"Let me think... at least ten roast chickens will be needed! ... At least five!"

Dog Brother shouted, "There's a fight going on right now, where are we going to get you roast chicken?!" "I don't care! If you don't get roast chicken, you'll all be punished!"

"You cowardly coward!" Lin Wang raised his hand, and a pale, chilling aura appeared in the air, instantly enveloping all the dragon-headed soldiers.

The soldiers, chilled by the cold, turned pale and frosty, and moved sluggishly.

The first few even developed ice cracks on their bodies.

The majestic and imposing voice fell silent.

Lin Wang waved to the three of them, then turned and ran out of the military camp: "Come with me!"

Without hesitation, May turned around and ran after Lin Wang.

Bai Xiaoxiao also put away her hammer and followed behind Lin Wang.

Seeing everyone running out, Dog Brother hesitated for a moment, then jumped down from the stilts, holding two stilts in his hand, and started banging on the slow-moving dragon-headed soldiers around him with a "Waaaaah!"

Then he shouted, "Boss, wait for me!" and chased after the three of them.

Everyone ran out of the barracks and was taken aback by what they saw outside.

Before them, on the open ground outside the military camp, what should have been a paved cement ground had turned into an endless expanse of yellow millet fields.

"Huangliangdi?" Dog Brother was taken aback. "What's going on here?!"

"Mortals! I am invincible in the Yellow Millet Field! You shall quickly offer up roast chicken, or I will immediately punish you!" The voice boomed like thunder in mid-air.

As he spoke, the yellow millet below rustled and swayed in the wind, appearing extremely majestic.

"Wait here for me. Do not believe anything you hear or see until I return."

Lin Wang said something to the three of them, and then stepped forward and rushed into the field of millet.

Dog Bro muttered, "Don't believe anything... What if the boss who comes out later is a fake...?"

May grabbed a cookie: "That's easy, I have a way!"

"any solution?"

"Let your brother and uncle burn you with a white flame! If you die from the burn, it proves he's real!"

"...Then what should I do?"

"You must try to live on." May stood on tiptoe and patted Dog Brother's arm with a mature air.

"..."

While the three were talking, Lin Wang had already rushed deep into the Yellow Millet Field.

A rustling sound came from the millet field, as if something was moving about among the millet.

Amid the rustling of millet and the sounds of running footsteps, a few faint "squeaks" could be heard.

The group exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a serious expression.

"The thing that can create such a huge spectacle... must be some kind of very strong and terrifying monster..."

Dog Brother muttered something under his breath.

The three of them saw Lin Wang crouching down in the millet field not far away, keeping himself level with the millet.

He walked forward a few steps in silence and solemnity.

Suddenly, the running black figure reappeared, passing through a field of yellow millet.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Wang suddenly leaped up and lunged forward!
From the millet field, came the sounds of struggling and thrashing, accompanied by a series of squeaks.

A few seconds later, Lin Wang straightened up from the millet field, smiled at the three of them, and said, "I caught it!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand.

In his hand, there was a large, yellow rat, over a foot long, struggling and squeaking.
