Volume 1 Odd Jobs Against the Sky Demon Slayer
Antelope said: "This forest never welcomes outsiders, it will be dangerous to enter during the day, and it is even more dangerous at night, even if my people do not dare to go so far in order to hunt for food, only the Wusun people can live in it safely and soundly, I suggest that safety should be the main thing at night." ”
He Peng asked: "What is the biggest threat at night?"
"Wild beasts, poisonous snakes, and ghosts," said the antelope, "and most terrible of all is the forest itself, which devours any creature that dares to disturb its slumber at night." ”
He Peng nodded: "Then let's continue walking, and strive to reach the Wusun tribe station at dawn." ”
"Why," the officer stood up abruptly, "do you think we're cowards, we're doing it for safety!"
He Peng said: "I know, but this time is different from usual, this time the biggest danger is not from the beast and the snake, nor from the ghost and the forest, but from other people.
We are not the only ones who are rushing to the Wusun garrison, I have already found some traces of march on the way, and more will arrive tomorrow, and tomorrow the road will be very busy during the day, and a master sniper can destroy our group. ”
Garcy stood up and began to wrap his back, and the antelope also tied the burden to his shoulders and the long-pole shotgun in his hand.
Ma Wangdui said: "Ajaka, beckon the soldiers to prepare to go, and at dawn you will rush to the Wusun garrison, where there will be many places where you can sleep comfortably." ”
Ajaca stopped talking, and turned to direct the soldiers to pack up.
It was even more difficult to march at night, although He Peng's golden eyes could see at night, because the golden eyes were too conspicuous, it was inconvenient to use at this time.
Walking at night, Ma Wangdui took out his secret equipment, and there were three night vision devices in his backpack, handed one to He Peng, and handed one to Jia Xi.
Ajaca also brought one, but his soldiers did not.
He Peng handed his night vision device to the antelope, "You can see more clearly when you lead the way." ”
The antelope did not shirk, he said, "Follow me, and I will protect you." ”
He Peng couldn't see the forest at night completely, but his high-speed perception made his eyesight and ear power far beyond ordinary people, and he could distinguish relatively large roads and trees, and he could hear a wind and grass clearly.
The Antelope Belt has always been easy to follow, with groups walking through dense forests and hills, wading through creeks and rounding crocodile pools.
Although a huge crocodile tried to ambush them, the antelope did not find it, but He Peng inadvertently kicked a piece of bark that flew away alarmed the crocodile, so everyone avoided in advance.
As he passed through the middle of the two hills, the antelope stopped, leaned down, put his ear to a stone, and whispered, "Ahead is the Evil Spirit Ridge, the most dangerous place on this road, and the legend says that the most evil gods are entrenched there, so we should be careful, walk lightly, and do not speak, hoping not to alarm them." ”
Garcy leaned over and grabbed He Peng's arm, her hand was shaking, He Peng felt her fear, He Peng wanted to see what the scared expression of this wild girl who was not afraid of the sky and the earth was, but the darkness covered everything.
When starting again, everyone is more careful, and when they step on their toes, they will first test the road to avoid stepping on the sound.
The antelope led the way, He Peng followed closely, Garcy dragged He Peng's arm, Ma Wangdui and those soldiers followed closely, and the Ajaca officer held a K47 on He Peng's side, alert to the danger that could come at any time.
The team quietly sneaked along the edge of the hill in the two-meter-wide gap between the hill and the bushes, and occasionally a bush blocked the way, and soldiers would come up and clear it with daggers.
Suddenly, Garcy trembled violently, and the tremor passed through her palm to He Peng's arm.
Before He Peng came to inquire urgently, Ajaka whispered, "Get down!"
The fighters, including those who were squatting high above, all slipped to the bottom at once, lying in the dark shadows.
Garcy trembled even more when she lay on the ground, holding He Peng's arm and shaking with He Peng, He Peng asked her quietly, "What are you afraid of?"
"Ghost and evil spirit" He Peng didn't see anything, the antelope handed the night vision device to He Peng, He Peng took it, and then saw it.
In the sky, many humanoid green shadows fluttered in a line, heading from east to west.
This thing is beyond He Peng's comprehension, in He Peng's knowledge system, the world only has soul and soul power in addition to visible and invisible substances, these guys floating in the sky are like phantoms without bodies, but they can't feel the fluctuations of soul power, neither soul bodies nor real bodies.
After a few moments, the green shadow floated away from the air until it was gone, and Ajaka took a long breath and exhaled quickly.
"Phew, they're gone, let's continue. ”
He Peng returned the night vision device to the antelope and asked softly, "What the hell is this?"
Antelope said: "It is the dead ancestors, this forest has bound their souls, making them strong and evil, they will kill all the living people they come across!"
He Peng didn't believe in this, in the known knowledge system, the soul has no strong ability after leaving the body, even the Alpha who is good at soul art cannot exist in the real world for a long time in the state of the soul, and must take away the living to continue to survive.
So He Peng didn't believe that those green guys could be ghosts, and it was impossible for human ghosts to exist in this way.
The group continued to discredit and advance.
Garcy's hand was no longer shaking, but he was still holding He Peng's arm tightly, not leaving an inch.
She suddenly whispered to He Peng: "Our traditional religion in Africa believes that people do not disappear after death, their souls will live in the ghost world, the ghost world is a world created by the spirit of the living, the dead ancestors are immortalized in the minds of the clansmen, and they maintain a state of heart-to-heart connection with the living family members. There is a certain way for a living person to communicate with them.
But sorcerers and some powerful spiritual creatures possess the power of the gods, and can keep the dead ancestors from entering the spiritual world of their people, and they turn the souls of the ancestors into devouring demons. What we just saw is one of them.
This forest is rich in prey and fruit, but there is basically no one living here, because of the fear of these evil spirits. ”
Ma Wangdui quietly touched it: "Hey, don't talk about these feudal superstitions, we don't believe in ghosts and gods, we believe in yin and yang, but Mr. He will only treat those green guys as a mass of yin qi, ghosts bred by yin qi!"
He Peng smiled and patted Ma Wangdui, and continued to ask Gasi: "Then why can the Wusun people live in this forest?"
Garcy shuddered, but quickly returned to normal.
"The Wusun tribe is a ghost race, some people say that they have no soul after death, and when they die, they are really dead, because they are born from those evil spirits that float through the sky, and they themselves are ghosts, and when they die, their souls are dead, and there will be no more ghosts. ”
Ma Wangdui said: "Hey, Brother He, don't listen to her nonsense, if a person dies, he is dead, and how can he become a human again when he dies Gaxi is a myth and story, you don't pay attention to her." ”
Suddenly, He Peng noticed that Garcy's hand was shaking again, and the antelope and Ajaca retreated violently.
Ma Wangdui asked nervously: "Hey, what's the situation, what are you hiding?"
Garcy pulled He Peng back, Ma Wangdui wanted to follow, but Garcy actually raised his gun: "Don't come here, come here and I'll kill you!"
Ma Wangdui asked in surprise: "Why am I your brother, why do you want to kill me?"
Garcy clicked the bolt open, and Ma Wangdui didn't dare to get any closer.
He Peng didn't understand what was going on, and the antelope behind him handed the night vision device to He Peng again, and He Peng was startled when he saw it.
There was a green figure standing on Ma Wangdui's back, and the green figure was full of black mist and miserable white, which was penetrating from Ma Wangdui's back into his body little by little!
The antelope said, "He must be killed, or he will be possessed by evil spirits, and he will kill us." ”
"No," said Ajaca, "my task is to keep him out of here." ”
Ma Wangdui was confused, "What the hell are you talking about why you killed me, hey, what the hell is going on, who will tell me." His movements began to become uncoordinated, and he walked somewhat like a puppeteer, twisting violently as soon as he moved.
The soldiers standing beside Ma Wangdui also realized that something was wrong and retreated.
Ma Wangdui panicked even more, "Tell me what the situation is, are you all crazy?"
His voice was loud, and a green light appeared in the distance!
He Peng hurriedly said: "Old horse, don't speak, lie down, they are here again." ”
Ma Wangdui hurriedly lay on the ground, and he didn't know that a green shadow had crawled on him.
He whispered to He Peng: "Hey, brother, I feel very cold, what's the matter, why is it so cold!"
He Peng crawled over and headed at him, and half of the green shadow on Ma Wangdui's back had already entered his body.
He Peng looked at Ma Wangdui's back and whispered, "Don't move, there's a snake crawling on your back, I'll help you catch it." ”
"Oh, Shet, is it an Amanda snake I said you shouldn't eat it, eat it and they'll get revenge, I'm going to die, don't let it bite me, bite me and I'll die." ”
Ma Wangdui complained in a low voice, his body trembling even more: "You tell me the truth, has it bitten me why do I feel dizzy, so cold, I must be bleeding, I must have been poisoned, brother, you have to save me." ”
"Shut up, I won't care about you anymore. ”
Ma Wangdui immediately closed his mouth, but he trembled even more.
He Peng had been observing the green shadow, and the green shadow was also looking at He Peng, although He Peng was not sure if there were eyes between the black mist and the miserable white of the green shadow, but He Peng felt that it was also looking at him, and it was still laughing.
There was a crack in the place where the green image was head, and He Peng thought that if he was a black man, he must have exposed his white teeth at this time.
He Peng didn't feel the soul fluctuations in the green shadow, and he didn't know how to start, He Peng couldn't see Mawangdui being occupied by it, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't move, I'll catch it right away." ”
He Peng violently activated the soul dementorship, and the soul power stabbed towards it.
The green light and shadow fluctuated, and He Peng's soul power seemed to be stabbed on the pliable ball of the skin and slid away.
The green shadow was a little excited, and the position that looked like its head became larger, and it grinned and drilled into Ma Wangdui's body at a faster speed.
Ma Wangdui buried his head in the ground, shivering, and he could be seen shaking like a swing from the night vision device, and he chanted in horror: "It bit me, bit me"
The green shadows in the distance had already drifted to only a few tens of meters away, and He Peng knew that he had to use a killer weapon, otherwise the consequences of that group of green shadows coming over together would be very serious.
Heart Sword!
He Peng silently chanted, his heart reached the sword, and the silver light flashed and disappeared.
Burst!
The green shadow suddenly exploded and dissipated into the air.
"It's good to be useful!" He Peng secretly rejoiced.
"Hey, brother, what's going on, why do I feel lighter, did you kill him" Ma Wangdui suddenly raised his head and looked at He Peng in surprise.
He Peng nodded, "Don't move on your stomach, the green shadow is coming over again." ”
With that, He Peng slowly retreated to Garcy and the antelope.
He Peng wasn't sure why Green Shadow didn't pick someone else to attach to Ma Wangdui, who was in the crowd, so he distanced himself from him.
The green shadow in the distance floated overhead, circled for a moment, and continued to drift away towards the west without noticing the vision.
"Whew!" Garcy gasped violently and said to Ma Wangdui, "You are so lucky that you have made a good friend, and I will kill you if you are replaced." ”
"Hey, I'm your brother, don't always think about killing me, even if you want to divide the family property, you don't have to do this, I'll give you everything you want when my dad dies." ”
"Cut" Garcy said, "Even Daddy would have shot you in the situation just now." ”
Ajaka pulled Ma Wangdui up, "Let's go, we have to get out of here quickly, this place is too weird." ”
The crowd moved quickly. Ma Wang piled up next to Ajaca and asked, "What happened just now, what happened?"
"You are possessed by an evil spirit, and it wants to take your body. Ajaca replied, "It's good that your friend saved you." ”
"Ahh
"Possessed by evil spirits, I almost became a devil, God. ”
Ma Wang piled up in front of He Peng: "Thank you, brother, I know that Huaxia's brother is the most righteous, at this time, even my father will shoot me, only Huaxia's brother will not give up on me." ”
He Peng pushed his face aside, and only two rows of white teeth were seen in the darkness.
Ma Wangdui looked a little excited for the rest of his life after the robbery, and continued to lean next to He Peng, and he and Garcy occupied one of He Peng's arms.
"Brother, did you destroy the evil spirit just now, how did you do it, do you know Taoism or Buddhist spells?"
Garcy also asked curiously: "yes, I just saw it explode suddenly, how did you do it?"
He Peng said: "If you don't want me to lie to you, don't ask." ”
"Oh, amazing Huaxia brothers, I know, I understand, I don't ask, you must be the legendary master, no wonder you are willing to take out a lot of money to save the world, you must be the legendary immortal, the immortal of the East, I want to worship you as the master, are you willing to accept me"
Garcy opened his mouth wide, two rows of white teeth floating in the air in the darkness.
He Peng
Ma Wangdui persevered and continued: "Master, which sect are you, I heard that the Taoist priest of Maoshan is the most powerful, are you from Maoshan?"
He Peng
Ma Wangdui said: "Oh, I know, no matter how powerful the Maoshan faction is, it can only catch the ghosts of the East, you can even fight the evil spirits of Africa, you must be from the Shushan Sword Sect, am I right, Master, you must accept me, why don't you take me back to Huaxia, I am willing to spend a lifetime learning with you, you can rest assured that I will never turn my back on the master."
He Peng admired Ma Wangdui's imagination and threw himself to the ground.
Garcy kept his mouth open, and those two rows of white teeth fluttered in the air.
Finally, after an hour, he walked out of the Evil Spirit Ridge.
The group slammed forward for some distance before stopping at a gentle slope to rest.
The antelope was also full of questions, but he didn't have a chance to ask if he wanted to lead the way, so he ran to He Peng and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, are you a great evil spirit wizard?"
The soldiers also hula and gathered around, waiting for an answer.
He Peng smiled bitterly, knowing that it would not work if he didn't say something today.
"I've learned some Eastern spells, and they happened to be useful just now, I'm not an evil spirit wizard, don't get me wrong. ”
Antelope pouted on his knees: "Great Eastern Demon Slayer, I am willing to be loyal to you, please guide the lost evil spirits back to the spiritual world of their people." ”
The soldiers also knelt down.
He Peng took a hard breath, "Whew, okay, I'll do my best, don't kneel to me, I don't like this." ”
He Peng's words worked, and those people immediately stood up, and He Peng noticed that Ajaka pulled Ma Wangdui aside and whispered something, and the two seemed to be arguing.
But the distance was too far, even He Peng couldn't hear it clearly, and only heard a few vague words: "Demon Extermination Evil Spirit Wizard Plan"
It was already late at night, and there were still thirty kilometers to the Wusun station, and according to the antelope's inference, there was nothing too dangerous about the rest of the road. The soldiers were happy.
He Peng thought that the remaining part of the journey was likely to be more dangerous, because if the Wusun tribe had any big secrets, then those who arrived early would probably not let the latecomers enter the station easily.
Ambushing latecomers on the last stretch of the road is their best bet.
A top-level sniper can shoot at a target two kilometers away, and two kilometers in the dark, a sniper who is good at camouflage, even He Peng can't find any clues.
Ma Wangdui said: "Oh, since we have passed the most dangerous section, why don't we light torches, there are so many of us, and the beasts will not dare to provoke us." ”
"No, I can't. He Peng said: "The closer we get to the station, the more we can't relax our vigilance, and we must be more vigilant in the next road!"
The antelope said, "Yes, the exorcist of the East has a magical premonition, and I follow his advice. ”
The soldiers had planned to light torches and walk in the dark so that several people were stumbling, but when they heard the antelope's words, they stopped talking, and the prestige of the Eastern Demon Exterminator was unquestionable.
Neither Ajaka nor Garcy spoke, and Ma Wangdui shrugged his shoulders when he saw that he had no supporters.
On the road again, Garcy was still holding He Peng's arm, the body of a seventeen-year-old girl had an amazing allure, the more in the dark, the more powerful it became! Walking in the dark and stumbling even more intensified the chance and excitement of bumping!
He Peng couldn't stand it anymore.
"Garcy, don't hold it so tightly, I don't have time to react if it's dangerous. ”
"I don't care, I feel safe that way. ”
Ma Wangdui smiled and hugged He Peng's other arm: "A woman's intuition is terrifyingly accurate, no wonder she keeps holding your arm, if I hold a demon slayer like her, I won't be possessed by evil spirits, now I choose to trust her intuition, and I feel safe holding you!"
"!" He Peng felt the feeling of being a cake on one side and dung on the other.
After traveling more than twenty miles, when a white color appeared in the east, the forest was full of white mist.
The mist soaked everyone's clothes, and the feeling of coldness and the fatigue of not being able to sleep after a long journey made everyone feel irritable.
He Peng shook off Jiaxi and Ma Wangdui, rubbed his arm that was held sorely, and said: "There are still ten kilometers to go, let's find a place to eat in front, drink some hot soup, recuperate our spirits and continue to hurry!"
Garcy jumped and shouted excitedly, adding a lot of energy to the team.
The soldiers were glad to hear that they could rest, and soon found a glade.
They used machetes to clear a patch of weeds, covered them with waterproof plastic sheeting, put chocolate and salt on them, and some lit a fire nearby, and some went hunting nearby.
He Peng always had a sense that danger was approaching.
He climbed to the top of a big tree, raised his eyes and looked around, a radius of dozens of miles was shrouded in white fog, He Peng breathed a sigh of relief, "With such a big fog, snipers shouldn't be able to see us." ”
