The night finally fell, and the entire farm was plunged into silence, like a ghost realm, devoid even of insect chirps.
The temperature outside dropped to nearly 0 degrees. Ling Tian and the others remained inside the vehicle. Feng Xiaoxi lay on the bed, sleeping fully clothed. Aurora was meditating and cultivating, while Ali dozed against the wall.
Ling Tian sat in the driver's seat, engrossed in the "Demon Compendium." The book was quite thick, over 500 pages, filled with both text and illustrations.
It was worth noting that the book stated some of the information had been verified, while other parts remained unconfirmed and were for reference only.
Around 10 PM, Ling Tian suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation. Immediately after, the compass placed on the adjacent seat began to shake violently.
Ling Tian looked up and saw that the sky, previously filled with starlight, was now shrouded by countless dark clouds.
At this moment, Ali also walked over.
"Ling Tian, is something unclean coming?"
"That's right, prepare for battle!"
Just then, outside the farm in the wilderness, several hundred meters away, humanoid figures suddenly emerged from the ground.
These humanoid figures were completely naked, with pale white skin. Looking at their faces, there was no hair. Apart from ears and a mouth, there was nothing else. Their gaping mouths were extremely ferocious. These creatures moved rapidly towards the RV where Ling Tian and the others were located.
"Get up, prepare for battle!"
As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, Aurora and Feng Xiaoxi quickly got up. Feng Xiaoxi immediately chambered a round in her AA12.
Ling Tian pushed open the car door and stepped outside. With a flash of thought, an assault rifle appeared in his hand. Judging by its shape, almost no one wouldn't recognize it: the AK-47!
This weapon was born at the end of World War II, and it had been nearly a century since its creation. Yet, despite this, it remained beloved by its users.
Its classic design, robust and durable performance, and its frighteningly low price had led to its rapid proliferation and global spread.
Now, no one could even accurately state how many of these weapons had been produced, as many countries had begun to imitate it, spawning countless variants.
Furthermore, this weapon was also the weapon that had killed the most Americans in the world!
Americans had stirred up trouble worldwide, bringing war to various countries and regions. The people in those places had risen up in resistance.
In such circumstances, the powerful and inexpensive AK-47 became their best choice.
Ling Tian pulled back the bolt, released the safety, and adopted a very standard stance, aiming the barrel at the targets moving at high speed towards them from 200 meters away.
"Da da da..."
The moment Ling Tian pulled the trigger, the iconic gunfire immediately erupted.
In theory, when using firearms at night, tracer rounds were best. The tips of these bullets were coated with a special substance that emitted light when fired.
This allowed the user to adjust the trajectory at night. However, to save money, they were usually mixed with ordinary bullets.
But Er Gou, who possessed the Heavenly Eye divine ability, didn't need such a superfluous measure.
The faceless creature rushing towards Ling Tian was extremely hungry. It hadn't eaten for several days. The surrounding animals like mice, rabbits, and snakes had long since become its meals.
And at this moment, they sensed the presence of humans within the farm.
As the celestial phenomena in the sky shifted, the magnetic field of this area also changed. These faceless creatures, which usually hid in the wilderness and underground, were as if a charge signal had suddenly been sounded.
However, what surprised Ling Tian was that the moment he aimed his gun at the faceless creature, even from a distance, the monster instantly adjusted its body posture and direction of movement!
The bullets originally aimed at the monster's head deviated. Three bullets struck the monster's body, knocking it to the ground.
However, the fallen faceless creature almost immediately flipped over and continued to charge at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian finished firing a magazine. The monster had been hit by over ten bullets and had been knocked down several times, yet it still got up again and charged at Ling Tian.
However, when the monster was less than 10 meters away from Ling Tian, Ali, standing beside him, suddenly raised his hand. The claw hammer in his hand spun and flew out.
Although the monster sensed the danger, the one throwing the claw hammer was an even greater monster. The claw hammer flew at an extremely high speed, embedding itself directly into the monster's head. Only the handle of the claw hammer was still exposed.
"Haha, unicorn!" Ali was amused by the appearance of the faceless creature, while Ling Tian and the others were speechless.
"This thing is what gives those demon hunters such a headache? They're practically too weak," Ali said disdainfully.
Feng Xiaoxi, standing nearby, couldn't help but think to herself, *What normal person can compare to you monsters?*
Just then, from another direction, another faceless creature came running.
"I'll handle this one. Let me test the quality of this thing!"
Ling Tian finished speaking, and with a flash of thought, the AK-47 in his hand disappeared into the Spirit Realm space. He picked up his sword and flew towards the faceless creature.
Soon, Ling Tian reached the faceless creature. He observed the monster and found that its body was very tough. The surface of its skin had formed a waxy keratinous layer, which caused bullets to embed themselves on its body surface without penetrating.
Ling Tian raised his hand and thrust his sword. The faceless creature quickly dodged Ling Tian's attack. Although its speed was not comparable to that of a vampire, it was still several times faster than an ordinary person!
"Just this thing? That's all you've got?" Ling Tian was very disdainful. He stood still, waiting for the monster to pounce. The faceless creature did not hesitate and lunged directly at Ling Tian, opening its gaping maw.
Ling Tian also noticed that the creature's fingers were thick and its nails were very sharp. This body structure was not only conducive to launching attacks but also made it more adept at digging.
Just as the creature's claws were less than 10 centimeters away from Ling Tian, Ling Tian's figure suddenly moved, leaving a blur. The Chiyan Treasure Sword in his hand, at a very tricky angle, sliced across the monster's neck.
The monster's massive head fell to the ground, and its body collapsed.
Ling Tian squatted down and began to examine the creature closely. Soon, Ling Tian made a discovery: these faceless creatures were not human. Their body tissues were like seaweed, intertwined together.
And the components that made up the faceless creature's body were filled with a sinister aura.
