Chapter 158 Vigil
Next, under the assignment of Xu Tianhua, three other groups also participated in the search for the people in the east of the village.
But the process was far from as easy as Xia Qi's group. After just one round, two more people from the three groups were killed.
Counting the previous search team that was all destroyed in the east of the village, as of now, 9 people from the original 18-person team have died. In other words, in less than 3 hours since the incident started, they have already lost half of their people.
What's even more ridiculous is that they paid such a heavy price, but they didn't even see the shadow of the ghost. And the speculation that the ghost is lurking in the east of the village is just a guess so far.
Except for the search team that disappeared without a trace before, there is no evidence to show that the terrifying ghost is hiding here.
But Xu Tianhua refused to pay the money and withdraw his troops. As the staff below, they naturally had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the search.
Perhaps he felt that their search was too slow, or perhaps he sensed the hidden resistance of everyone, so Xu Tianhua also began to participate in the search, and the little ghosts hiding in the house could be killed by him with one move. Look, Everyone couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
During the process, Xia Qi also secretly compared Leng Yue with Xu Tianhua to see how inferior Leng Yue was to Xu Tianhua, or whether Leng Yue was as strong as Xu Tianhua.
But because Xu Tianhua didn't exert his full strength at all, and Leng Yue looked very relaxed, he couldn't come up with a reason after comparing for a long time.
However, when I think about Xu Tianhua being a supervisor for a long time, even if his background is worse than Leng Yue's, he still managed to get high by earning honor points.
Although he felt in his heart that Leng Yue's strength might be slightly inferior to Xu Tianhua's, Xia Qi still agreed with Leng Yue's strength. After all, from the performance of other groups when facing those brats, it was not difficult to see that Leng Yue was stronger in terms of hard power. Leave them far behind.
There were only a few people, and they didn't look very embarrassed.
Among them were Zong Degang, Wang Kai, the short-haired girl, and the thin boy who left a deep impression on him.
Among the four people, except for Wang Kai, who was able to transform one arm into a ghost, the others were all owners of the technique.
Because he had the impression that the thin boy had ridiculed the strong man before, Xia Qiyou specially observed his performance when facing the kid. It is no exaggeration to say that he was no less relaxed than Leng Yue.
Seeing that Xia Qi was secretly speechless, he secretly thought that the other party really had the ability to show off.
As for the strong man who had a conflict with him before, he was killed in the previous search before he could see this scene, otherwise he would regret the harsh words he shouted at that time.
Because there was a time limit for this team incident, Xu Tianhua strictly ordered everyone not to stay and to search all the way.
Time passed little by little, and although no one was losing any more people, they were all more or less injured.
When it was close to 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone found it difficult to search anymore because their mana and physical strength were exhausted. Although Xu Tianhua still wanted to catch up with the progress, he thought that when he was looking for ghosts, the ghosts would probably attack them in turn, so he allowed everyone to enter the house to rest and search again after they recovered.
For those who master spells, the most important thing is the storage of mana. Because Xia Qi is a ghost, he doesn't know much about their so-called spells. He just thinks that it should be used to use the ultimate move in the game. "blue".
Everyone's mana reserves are different. Although Leng Yue, the short-haired woman, and the boy have also lost some, they look far less weak than the others. It seems that they don't even have the strength to stand up.
After everyone entered the courtyard, Xu Tianhua assigned the remaining 9 people to be divided into 1 group of 3 for a total of 3 groups for vigil work.
They are a group of three, Zhao Qiuya, Wang Kai, and Zong Degang.
A group of three including a short-haired woman, a boy, and a girl wearing glasses.
Xia Qi, Leng Yue, and Fang Xinxin were in a group of three.
The three groups followed the vigil order. Xia Qi's group was responsible for watching from 1 to 3 o'clock; Zhao Qiuya's group was responsible for watching from 3 to 5 o'clock; and finally, the group of short-haired women was responsible for watching from 5 to 7 o'clock.
Xia Qi actually wanted to guard the time period from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock, because ghosts usually choose the dark night to kill, and here it is almost light after 5 o'clock.
But Xu Tianhua had already arranged it this way, and naturally they couldn't change it, so they could only keep vigil honestly.
Although everyone here is aware of the strength of Xia Qi and Leng Yue, for the sake of safety, everyone tried their best to put up spells all around the house.
Regarding everyone's self-feeling behavior, Xia Qi's heart was full of innocence. After all, the ghost they have to deal with is an existence second only to the powerful ghost, so even if you think about it, you should know that their spells are useless against that ghost.
But since they were willing to post it, he naturally wouldn't bother himself by saying anything. After all, this can be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort.
Everyone entered the house, and instead of resting in separate rooms, they all crowded into the corridor, with their backs to backs or shoulders to shoulders, so that if something happened, they could wake up in time.
Xia Qi was quite satisfied with Xu Tianhua's arrangement. If Xu Tianhua had worked harder, they would never have lost so many people.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and no one among the people huddled together spoke. People who knew how to smoke smoked silently, and the room was filled with smoke for a while, and the sound of girls coughing could be heard constantly.
Although several girls were choked by the smoke, no one dared to say anything because Xu Tianhua was among these smokers.
No one is sleepy for the time being, and Xia Qi and the others are happy with this, which at least relieves them a little of the pressure of keeping vigil.
"Let's eat something first, I'm almost starving."
Xia Qi took out food and water from his travel bag. Since Leng Yue and Fang Xinxin both had them, he ignored them and ate alone.
It wasn't until they saw Xia Qi eating that everyone suddenly remembered that the food was on their backs, so they opened their luggage bags and started to eat hungrily.
By the time everyone finished eating and began to feel sleepy, almost an hour had passed.
Xia Qi and Fang Xinxin also yawned one after another, but they both bit their lips and tried not to fall asleep.
On the other hand, Leng Yue's eyes were as wide as an owl's, looking deep and bright in the dim candlelight.
After going on like this for almost half an hour, there were already varying degrees of snoring from everyone there.
