Chapter 294: Evil Shadow

After the previous incident with Luo Songyuan, I am now allergic to this kind of sudden strange noise. I got up from the ground with a "teng".

The strange sound disappeared immediately.

"Is it an illusion?"

I rubbed my temples. I had been removing the poison from Lao Bai, and I was inevitably infected with some of it. I felt drowsy before, and now I am a little suspicious.

I looked around and didn't see anything strange, so I put my ears to the ground like I did before.

"Crack, crack..."

The strange sound appeared again.

The sound was very low, but I was sure that it really existed!

For a moment, I was hairy all over. It was obvious that something was eating. Although I was a poor student, I also knew that sound propagates fastest in solids. In ancient times, soldiers would sleep with leather saddles as pillows, just to detect the enemy's movements in advance.

If nothing unexpected happens, this thing should be far away from us now!

"Don't sleep!"

I woke everyone up immediately and shouted, "There's something in this forest!"

Everyone got up immediately.

Brother Yaozi put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, and confirmed my statement: "There is really a sound, this thing is still eating, as if chewing bones..."

My master's face changed slightly, and then he went to see Lao Bai's condition. Seeing that Lao Bai was still in a coma, he said: "Yaozi, you carry Lao Bai and get on the road immediately!"

With his order, we immediately moved.

Suddenly, Zhang Xinya said: "Hey? No, did anyone see Lao Duyan?"

"I was still sleeping when I was on duty before!"

Brother Yaozi said subconsciously.

Then, we all looked at Shunzi.

Shunzi is not like us after all. He has a strong sense of crisis, and he has been trained for a long time and has excellent physical strength. After a series of journeys, he is already extremely tired. Even at this moment when the crisis comes, he is still half asleep and half awake, sitting with a dull look in his eyes. Seeing that we are all looking at him, he just came back to his senses a little, as if he was slow to react. After a while, he said: "Ah... He said that he drank the water on the boat and his stomach was not feeling well, so he went to relieve himself..."

When we heard this, we already felt that something was wrong.

"Why are you still standing there? Save people!"

My master frowned and then said: "Mr. Li, Wushuang, you two stay here to guard Lao Bai and Shunzi, and the others follow me!!"

Unfortunately, the sound was too subtle and too low. I could hear the movement, but it was difficult to distinguish the direction. I couldn't do it, and Brother Yaozi couldn't do it either.

Finally, my master made a bold decision. We went to look for him separately. In his opinion, if we really encountered something, we could run away if we couldn't fight with our abilities. However, he still told us not to go too far. If we couldn't find the old one-eyed man, we would give up and go back to meet him.

After that, we separated immediately.

In fact, I felt a little guilty. When Shunzi was on guard, I should have been removing the poison from Lao Bai. If I had paid a little more attention, the old one-eyed man would not have left silently. He was an old man and understood people's hearts, but he didn't know how dangerous this extremely dark place was. He dared to go to the forest alone to relieve himself. Even if we were people like us, once we walked into such a dangerous place, we would never separate. Compared with life, people's pitiful sense of shame is really unimportant.

It was still pitch black here, and it was hard to tell day from night. I held on to the flashlight and ran wildly in the forest, but I knew in my heart that I was just trying my best. In such a place, if a person who didn't understand the art of Xuanmen disappeared, it would be impossible to find him.

Even if he was found, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, Brother Yaozi's roar came from afar, tearing the dead silence in the darkness.

"Found it?"

I thought, and stopped running forward. I turned around and prepared to go back to support Brother Yaozi.

At this moment, a very dense bush not far to the left, as tall as a person, trembled and made a "rustling" sound.

I stopped immediately. After running wildly, my lungs were burning, and I kept gasping for breath, but my eyes were staring at the bush without blinking.

"Could it be... more than one?"

I couldn't help but have such a thought in my mind. After hesitating for a moment, I held the flashlight in one hand and shone it there, and moved closer step by step. The Tianguan Blade had already awakened. At this moment, I held the Baipi Knife tightly, and the blade was dancing with cold arc light under the beam of light. When I got closer, I didn't dare to go in rashly because I couldn't see the situation inside clearly. I stretched out the Baipi Knife and prepared to pick the bushes.

Crash!

A black shadow suddenly jumped out of the bushes and rushed straight to my face.

"Die!"

I shouted angrily, raised the knife and chopped forward, chopped the opponent firmly, and I even heard the crisp bone cracking sound when the blade wedged into the bone. A stream of warm blood splashed on my face, and then the opponent hit me hard in my arms, "bang" and retreated repeatedly, and the flashlight in the other hand immediately flew out.

However, I couldn't care about this at this time. After all, I was holding the knife with one hand, so the chopping power was very limited, and I should have chopped the opponent's shoulder, so it was absolutely impossible to kill the opponent. So I immediately held the knife with both hands and rushed towards the opponent again.

As a result, this thing didn't fight with me at all. It roared "Ah", turned around and jumped into the bushes. It was very fast and more flexible than apes in this forest.

The battle was short and fierce. Because the flashlight was knocked away, I didn't see what it was from beginning to end, but it should be a human-shaped thing. The warm blood splashed on my face told me that it was a living thing!

After finding out the details of the opponent, I didn't hesitate at all. I picked up the flashlight and immediately rushed into the bushes and chased after it! !

As a result, although the bush was tall and looked dense, it was actually just a clump, blocking the view like a wall. I ran into it and passed through it directly. When I landed, I stepped on a round thing and stumbled. I almost fell to the ground. The ground was full of vines. If I really fell on it, my life would definitely be over. The glutinous rice was all used up!

Under the desire to survive, my skills suddenly became exceptional. I jumped on the ground and jumped several meters away before I could barely stabilize my body.

I subconsciously looked back and was stunned.

A bloody man was lying behind me. There were bite marks all over his face, and bones were exposed in some places. One leg was gone. His stomach was ripped open, and his internal organs were all over the ground. There were scattered bones everywhere next to him.

The bloody clothes on the other person told me that this was the old one-eyed man. His chest was still rising and falling slightly, and he was obviously not dead yet.

Seeing me, the old one-eyed man kept opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but black blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

This was obviously choking on the blood. I helped him up, and he coughed repeatedly, and blood foam sprayed all over me.

I knew that this person would definitely not survive. Although it was not the first time I saw someone die in front of me, but... this kind of thing is always hard to get used to. Starting from that little Zhebie, it was like a nightmare, with a beginning but no end, one after another, their faces before dying would really become a nightmare, even if we were not very familiar with each other.

I sighed silently, patted his back gently, and whispered: "What are your last wishes? No matter what, you are all here because of us. Tell me, and do it within your ability."

The old one-eyed man grabbed my hand, but his hand was covered with sticky blood, and soon slipped away. He almost used up all his strength, put his mouth to my ear, and said intermittently: "Kill, kill... me!"
