Chapter 16: Dark Night
After a short rest of two days, the Donglin caravan recruited some protectors again, and their strength was at the peak of true immortals. For these people, Xiao Ning didn't care, the road ahead was dangerous, no one knew what trouble he would encounter, one more person, naturally there was more hope.
This time the little woman did something very different from the last, she did not hide the danger of the trip, and increased the reward for the caretaker. It can be said that these merchant protectors are also here for payment, and if something happens, it is not unrighteous in the Donglin caravan.
On this day, the Donglin caravan set off again, and the flying boat slowly rose into the air, heading away from the city.
During the day, nothing happened, and everything seemed to be calm, even Xiao Ning felt that the Soul Chaser he encountered before was an accident.
As night fell, the sky gradually darkened, and the night sky was full of stars, the only drawback was that there was no moon.
The fairy world is a big world, there are countless small worlds in it, and each world can see the stars, but not every world has a moon.
There is no moon on the continent where Xiao Ning and the Donglin caravan are located.
A moonless night always feels a little uneasy, even in the fairy world. The light here is purer, the nights here are quieter, and it always feels like there is something hidden in the dark night.
On the Donglin caravan flying boat, everyone became silent, the atmosphere was a little solemn, and at the beginning of the night, they found that there was a shadow under the night that always followed the caravan flying boat. No matter how the ship changed direction, the shadow was always there.
"Elder Dao, can you find out who that shadow is?"
In one of the inner warehouses of the flying boat, the little woman's face was solemn, even a little pale, and she asked the old knife beside her.
"No!" Dao Lao shook his head, he was just a golden immortal, and the golden immortal was not omnipotent, so he didn't know what the shadow that appeared in the dark night was.
Time passed in tension and uneasiness, and the shadow was always there, appearing and disappearing, but it always kept a certain distance from the flying boat of the Donglin caravan and did not attack.
However, this did not make the people in the Donglin caravan feel relaxed. It was already dawn, and everyone was feeling a little tired, and this exhaustion was a dangerous new number.
Xiao Ning stretched and walked out of his separate inner warehouse. Almost everyone had no rest that night, but he was an exception. Because he knew that most of the flying boats would not attack on the first night, and their purpose in appearing in the dark night was more to put pressure on the people on the flying boats of the Donglin caravan.
Of course, there is another reason why Xiao Ning can sleep peacefully, that is, there are two primordial gods in his body, although there is only one mind, but it is still possible to alternately send out the power of divine thoughts to monitor.
"You seem to be sleeping well, aren't you worried that the shadow will attack us like us?" said Dao Lao as he looked at Xiao Ning with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Dao Lao, don't talk about me, I think your spirit is also good, you should also rest well!" Xiao Ning smiled slightly, Dao Lao said that his spirit was good, how could Dao Lao's spirit ever be bad?
"I thought you weren't simple at the beginning, and I was not mistaken, but I still want to know what you think in your heart!"
"We all know that the shadow on the first night will not attack, its appearance is just to make us nervous, not to get enough rest, to attack the heart!" Xiao Ning said his thoughts, in fact, he already knew it in his heart, so he was not afraid.
"That's right, so can you guess when they will attack, and when will they attack?"
"Three days later, when we're all exhausted, or when we're letting our guard down, that's when they're attacking. Xiao Ning pondered for a moment and reasoned.
"It's about the same as I calculated, but we also have to make arrangements in the past few days, not only to be vigilant, but also to pay attention to rest, not to be exhausted by them!" As an old man, Dao Lao actually had a plan for a long time, but he was just a little curious to see Xiao Ning so relaxed before.
"How to arrange Dao Lao must be more experienced than me, and my injuries will take two days to recover, so I won't accompany Dao Lao!" Xiao Ning's injury is really not light, and he has not fully recovered after so many days, of course, the remaining residual injuries do not prevent him from fighting, but Xiao Ning still wants to adjust his state to the best, and go outside to see the scenery and breathe, which is also a way to speed up the healing of the remaining injuries.
"So fast, okay, I'll go and arrange other people's affairs!" Although Dao Lao already knew that Xiao Ning's physical recovery power was amazing, he still felt a little surprised, such a deep wound had healed in a few days, and this recovery speed was stronger than that of an immortal beast. However, this also made Dao Lao breathe a sigh of relief, the stronger Xiao Ning's strength, the more beneficial it would be for him, and even more disadvantageous to the mysterious enemy who followed.
Dao Lao didn't know who the mysterious shadow in the dark night was, but he knew that the shadow in the dark night must be peeping at them all the time, and it must be friend or foe.
Xiao Ning didn't say anything more, turned around and went to the deck, looking at the clear blue sky and the beautiful scenery that kept passing by, I didn't know what I was thinking in my heart.
The day is extraordinarily calm, and the mysterious shadow seems to belong only to the night, and then disappears without a trace during the day.
Although there is a knife elder telling everyone, the tension in people's hearts has not been alleviated at all, so no one has a good rest on this day.
Night fell again, and under the starry sky, the shadow that belonged to the dark night also came as promised. Just like the night before, he followed behind the Donglin caravan flying boat, but he didn't get close.
The people on the flying boat of the Donglin caravan became more nervous, the shadow that did not appear during the day reappeared at night, and the position was so accurate, even if the Donglin caravan changed direction several times during the day, the other party was still able to catch it, which showed that the other party must have a capable person, but no one knew who this capable person was, and what kind of cultivation could follow the flying boat so accurately and always maintain a distance not far away.
Because I don't know, so the people on the Donglin caravan flying boat become more nervous, the unknown always makes people feel scared and nervous, just like this dark night without a bright moon, for the true immortals and golden immortals, there are still a lot of unknowns in the dark night, it is not a cow ghost snake god, the dark night is always the most suitable for hiding whereabouts, so the dark night is full of danger.
Xiao Ning was not nervous, he returned to his inner warehouse early, and after routine cultivation, he went to sleep. What was frightening in the dark night was the unknown, and since the shadow had appeared, it could not be said to be unknown, so he slept.
