The night sky was dark. It was drizzling at Da Hwa City and the rain fell on the Phecda Cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
The wind roared, and the trees in the cemetery shook violently. Some of the newly grown branches and leaves were blown down. The light from the patrol guard's flashlight flashed past. The photos on the tombstones were either old and healthy, or in the prime of their lives.
"Admin, admin, the wind is a bit strong here …"
At that moment, one of the patrolmen, Du Dong, reported to the admin, "The wind seems to be stronger than outside, some of the trees are about to fall. This place … "He looked around and saw a grave not far away. His anxiety deepened." Doctor Gu Jun's grave is just 10 metres away. "
"Something is really wrong." His colleague Zheng Jianlong said. He looked around and felt the chilling wind. The night had darkened.
The cemetery admin was responsible for the security here. It was to ensure that the sealing and monitoring system built from the Ancient Seal Stone was operating normally to protect the dead.
Normally, it was fine but during this time of disaster, when the frontline was lacking manpower, the admin actually did not have that many people available.
Those with high combat power and spirituality were basically transferred to the frontlines to alleviate the shortage of personnel in other security positions.
Because of this, the number of patrols in the cemetery was much smaller than usual. Usually, there were five people in a group, but now, there were only two people in a group.
"Roger that, there is nothing wrong with the Ancient Seal Stone around you."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they received a response from the management center. They didn't want anything to happen, but they also knew that their strength was limited. If something were to happen, they might not be able to do anything.
They were about to put their guns back into their holsters when the wind grew louder. It sounded like the wailing of ghosts.
Their surroundings were shrouded in darkness. The tombstones were everywhere. Even though they knew the dead buried here were all heroes, they still shivered instinctively.
With a muffled snapping sound, an old tree next to them lost a large branch. The whole tree shook like it was being pushed by a giant force.
"Something is not right …" Du Dong said with suspicion. Even though he was not powerful enough to fight on the frontline, he had received basic spell and seal training so he could understand this anomaly. "Admin, are you sure the Ancient Seal Stone did not alert us? My spirit is starting to feel weird … "
At this time, Zheng Jianlong's expression suddenly changed. "Management center, an unknown spatial distortion vortex has been discovered here!"
When Du Dong heard this, he followed Zheng Jianlong's gaze and saw a tree shaking violently on the other side becoming blurry. A twisted whirlpool appeared in the middle of it, and a black flood suddenly rushed out with a deafening sound.
As Du Dong cried out in alarm, he instinctively ran in the opposite direction from Zheng Jianlong, shouting, "Abnormal energy attack!"
The space of the graveyard was shaken by the torrent, and more twisted vortexes appeared.
At this moment, they recognized that these whirlpools seemed to be the same kind of whirlpools that had occurred during the Egyptian Ten Disasters in Qing 'an City.
"Warning from the ancient seal stone, warning from the ancient seal stone!" The voice from the walkie-talkie became hoarse. "… The Ancient Seal Stone has exploded, the force is very strong … Evacuate immediately! Evacuate … "
The rain turned violent. The rumbling torrent was right behind them. Du Dong and Zheng Jianlong ran with cold sweat on their faces.
No matter what happened, the explosion of the Ancient Seal Stone meant that the situation was serious, it was not something that the two of them could deal with. Nothing had happened at the graveyard for so many years, and the frontline was so short of manpower. The two of them could deal with small thieves, but now …
Du Dong's heart tightened. Whenever he passed by this graveyard during his shift, he would purposely stop to pay his respects to Captain Gu's grave.
Now he could not help but turn back to look, he did not wish to see Captain Gu's grave being destroyed by the torrent.
The black water from the whirlpools was converging, and within the torrent, strange crocodile heads appeared. These dark creations looked like crocodiles, but they were definitely not crocodiles. The heads that poked out of the water were covered with decaying and sharp thorns. They appeared to be heading for Captain Gu's grave.
On the other side, before the two of them, another torrent rushed at them. It brought with it several menacing crocodile heads.
Bang, bang, bang! Zheng Jianlong pulled the trigger and fired at the crocodile heads.
However, the bullets only created a small splash. The crocodile heads did not explode, and the water was not dyed red. With a whoosh, they 'pounced' at them. The two then realized that the bodies of these monsters were the torrent itself. The crocodile heads gathered to form pillars of black water. They moved at an incredible speed.
"Ah …" Zheng Jianlong only had time to scream before his head was bitten by one of the crocodile heads. Blood splattered everywhere.
The headless body fell to the ground, twitching slightly as it floated along with the torrent.
Du Dong saw this and instantly felt like he was hit in the head by a heavy object. His head spun and his body weakened. He felt like he was going to collapse as well.
The crocodile heads gathered together with the torrent to form a giant wave. It swallowed the surrounding trees instantly. The crocodile heads roared and opened their mouths. Under the heavy rain, they pounced at Gu Jun's grave.
The ear-piercing sound of stone slabs breaking rang out. The tombstone that had been erected for less than half a year was broken into two by the torrent. The section of the tombstone with the deceased's photograph was bitten by a crocodile's head and shattered into pieces. The photograph and the stone were scattered into the black water.
Du Dong's heart ached from the bite. His dazed body struggled to gather strength. His finger pulled on the trigger and fired. Bang, bang, bang —
Now he knew the abnormal energy was coming for Captain Gu's grave. He could not allow them to destroy it anymore …
However, this series of shots did not cause any damage to the crocodiles. They ignored the shots and continued their despicable destruction.
The cement and soil under the tombstone were thrown into the air by the impact of the crocodiles. In the blink of an eye, Gu Jun's grave was turned into a mess. The pit that was dug earlier was emptied, revealing the nanmu coffin inside. Only a small amount of soil was left to cover it.
It was hard to tell whether it was the crocodile's cry or the torrent's cry. Multiple crocodile heads leaped into the pit and bit the coffin together.
Bang! The nanmu coffin shattered into pieces with an ear-piercing explosion.
The white coat that was placed inside the coffin fell on the black water. When it was soaked in the black water, there seemed to be a flash of light before it dimmed.
Du Dong watched helplessly. He was in great pain but he was powerless to stop it.
The torrent of crocodiles continued to surge. The rain became heavier.
