Chapter 1181: New Life (Thirty-Seven)
I was startled, thinking that Chen Mengyu and the others had shown a "petrified" state before they appeared, but then I saw Yabu's head swing, and I realized that she and Zaka were listening to nearby sounds.
I whispered what was going on, and Jabu immediately silenced me and motioned for me to listen carefully.
Although I was anxious, I forced myself to calm down and wait for a while, at first I didn't feel anything, but just as I was about to give up, I clearly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from the path we had just come, and what was even more terrifying was that there was a little laughter in it!
And this laughter is very familiar, it is the voice of Yuechen!
Judging from the sound of footsteps, it should be only herself, and the footsteps are unhurried, but more like a walk, does this Yuechen think that we are already turtles in the urn, so we are not in a hurry?
Besides, where did the group of Gu creatures beside Yue Chen go? Although the number of Gu creatures in this team is not a "big army", there are at least more than a hundred, and there are still a lot of fierce beasts in it, how could they just disappear like this? Or were they all led away by that "miscellaneous army"?
This laughter is getting closer and closer now, and I have begun to struggle fiercely in my mind, because now there is no suppression of energy in this place, and the worrying aura on Yuechen's body has completely lost its deterrent effect, so ...... Under this premise, Yuechen's combat power is actually negligible, and I can at least treat her as an ordinary adult.
I glanced at Yabu and Zaka, and found that both of them were also looking at me, so I immediately asked for their opinions, but I didn't expect their opinions to be exactly the same as mine, and said that if I can catch Yuechen, it will be equivalent to taking the lead in the confrontation with Yueling, after all, Yuechen is undoubtedly quite important to Yueling, and with Yuechen as a hostage in my hands, I even hope to order the entire voodoo to withdraw from Dongkou Province.
Then we listened to the footsteps for a while, and finally determined that there were no other Gu creatures following, at least there would be no Gu creatures walking on the ground, and even if there were small flying insects and birds in the air, I am afraid they would not cause us too much trouble.
The sound was at the last bend in the path we had come, and there was no other shelter from the miscellaneous public facilities that had fallen to the ground.
I took Jab and Zaka to check if there were any more "masked men" near the landslide, and then cautiously turned around the corner.
I had already seen the sunshine just now, but now I was asked to turn back into the darkness, which made people feel quite unwilling, but now there is no other way, because if we keep following a "time bomb" behind us, maybe we have been secretly calculated by this moon dust before we find the Ouyang sisters and brothers.
At this time, Yuechen laughed again, and because the distance was much closer than just now, I could hear this laughter more clearly.
In fact, this laughter is really good, undoubtedly as beautiful as the moon spirit, but there is a hint of imperceptible chill in this laughter. Plainly...... This is actually closer to a sneer.
"Hum ......" I even heard Yuechen "hum" like this, giving me the feeling that she already knew that we were ambushing her, which was a way to express disdain.
I frowned and gestured to Jab and Zaka again to keep them away from me, and as they retreated, they released some small flying insects.
These little flying insects were all made by Zaka, and this should be the last flying insect in his hand, only to see that after these insects appeared, they were all directed by Zaka to fly in the direction of Yuechen's singing.
Although the impact of this flying insect on the moon dust is almost negligible, at least it can make the moon dust react somewhat, and I can also take this opportunity to judge the next move.
Soon I heard a lapping sound from the other side of the moon dust, like the slapping sound of a person after being bitten by a mosquito, and then she actually began to hum the "babbling" sound that the moon spirit had when she summoned the bhikshu bird.
The timbre of the two is so close that if it weren't for the obvious milky sound in Yuechen's voice, I'm afraid I would have to confuse the two voices together.
The effects of the flying insects seemed to have stopped at that slap, and now it had fully recovered to the light footsteps of the moon spirit and her normal singing voice.
......
I noticed that my palms were already sweating, and I caught a glimpse of Yabu and Zaka behind me, who had also raised their weapons, and I silently warned myself in my heart that I must not be soft on this poor and helpless little girl, because there was a very dangerous soul lurking beneath her lovely skin.
I raised the sword high!
It's closer!
I could even hear her slight gasp!
Judging by her footsteps, she must have passed the last bend, and just as I was about to give her a surprise attack and jump out, there was another noise from the narrow path behind us that led to the ground.
This time it's a lot of footsteps, and it feels like there must be at least ten or more people, I say badly, could it be that this Yuechen has premeditated, this is already sending good people to attack us on both sides?
However, at this moment, the footsteps of the moon dust were gone.
I can't care so much now, so I rushed to the corner with the mountain opener, but there was no one nearby...... I looked around the ground again, and saw that there were only footprints left by the way we had just come, and no one else had passed.
......
Hell, are we having collective auditory hallucinations again? I think I didn't just hear it, but Jab and Zaka heard it too, and they heard it first!
Well...... As soon as I thought of this, I found a question worth pondering, because due to the fact that our energy changes the physique, it is impossible for Yabu and Zaka's hearing to be stronger than mine, so ...... I'm the first to hear the noise, and I'm the last?
From this point of view, the footsteps just now and the laughter of the moon dust may not be explained by conventional principles, this is not the sound transmitted by energy? Now the spiritual energy and cold qi have been suppressed for inexplicable reasons, so ...... It seems that only the third unknown energy remains.
However, although the sound at the bend of the passage when I came just now may be "fake", the sounds coming from the ground behind him are very real, because at this time, in addition to human voices, there are also a lot of digging sounds along with the footsteps.
I heard someone shouting outside, "There's the living dead down there! I need to get rid of them!"
I frowned......
The living dead?
Could it be the "masked man" I just saw, after all, there seems to be only one masked man around us who meets this title now, and judging from the meaning of the speaker, they have actually encountered more similar situations before this.
I immediately turned to Jab and Zaka to ask if they had seen or heard anything like this before they came, but the two children said in unison that they didn't know.
Yabu said: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with the Gu worm virus! they should be purely governed by the energy breath!"
I nodded, and said in my heart that I would not care about these masked people for the time being, but focus on figuring out who this group of people above was.
I originally thought that I must have the people around Ouyang Shuo, but Yabu said that Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing's people knew each other, and their voices were very familiar, and they were definitely not the guy who spoke just now.
Moreover, Ouyang Shuo's people have already gathered near the headquarters, although our place is not far from the headquarters, it is still at least a few kilometers away, Ouyang Shuo can't risk losing the opportunity to meet me here.
So...... Who could this group be?
In fact, if I think about it, I can narrow down the scope of "suspects" even further.
Because judging from the tone of the man's speech just now, it is clear that he is a Chinese, because the voodoo members I have seen so far either do not speak or speak half-baked Chinese.
And the loiterers can also be almost eliminated, because almost all the loiters have been sent to the front line to fight voodoo, and the few remaining loiterer elites have been taken away or killed by Zhao Youkuang.
So...... Now the only person who can organize manpower to carry out activities in the mountains...... It seems that only the guys from Taoyuan Island are left!
In fact, as early as the moment it was determined that the voodoo had launched an attack on the Qinhuai Mountains, I had been following the actions of the Taoyuan Island people, because from all the previous indications, they themselves were inextricably linked to voodoo, especially in the two characters of Yuechen and Qianqian, they seemed to have the same amount of key information.
It seems that these guys finally can't hold back their temperament and start getting involved?
I don't have the slightest affection for these people from Taoyuan Island, if it is possible to cooperate with the wanderers, then I and these Taoyuan Island guys are mortal enemies, after all, several of us have died at their hands in a very extreme way, including a backbone with unlimited potential like Nie Bi!
Not to mention this, as soon as I thought of this, the anger in my heart suddenly burned, and I immediately told Yabu and Zaka to let the two of them watch my orders later, and if they were really from Taoyuan Island, then they would be killed directly!
Now that there was no danger in the path of coming, I quickly returned to the site of the landslide with Jab and Zaka, and soon I heard a few footsteps moving a little along the narrow path of Fangcai......
I nodded at Yabu and Zaka, thinking that it was better to confirm their identities before we acted, in case it was really Ouyang Shuo's people, it would be bad for us to kill them.
However, though I was merciful, the fellow on the other side clearly did not think so, for before the man could come down, I saw a large cloud of green smoke coming from the caliber, which was clearly poisonous.
If it was before, I would not have cared about these things, but now it is different, because without the protection of energy, these gases are likely to have a lethal effect on us.
What's more, these people above are certainly not stupid, they should also be sure that no one can resist the poison gas in the current situation.
I had very little experience with poison gas, so my first instinct was to avoid it, but Jab and Xhaka seemed to have a lot of experience in dealing with them, and I saw them on the ground almost immediately, and Yabu gestured for me to hurry back to her.
In such a moment, I already felt as uncomfortable as smoke in my throat and eyes, and at the same time, I also felt as if I had been stained with chili pepper water, which is the most obvious symptom of poisoning.
I was startled, I thought I was going to faint, but soon I felt a very itchy sensation in front of my nose, and I sneezed so hard that the groggy feeling in my head was gone.
When I looked up, I saw a handful of white powder in Jab's hand, trying to sprinkle it in front of my nose, and I hurriedly stopped her.
It seems that Yabu and Zaka are actually very familiar with this poisonous gas, and it is no wonder that they were able to react so quickly just now, and the antidote that Yabu was holding just now was also a matter of course.
Could it be someone who is really a loiterer?
However, Yabu soon stressed to me again, "They are not with Ouyang Shuo!
"Do you still have poison gas in your supplies?" I asked, surprised.
"We've got a lot more supplies than you think. As he spoke, Jab raised his hand and tried to shoot into the path with his gravel gun, but I stopped him.
If I shoot now, it will inevitably startle the snake, and my goal now is to wipe out these ten or so people, and I immediately beckoned Yabu and Zaka to take a few steps back.
At the same time, the footsteps of the people in the path of the collapse began to become faster.
I motioned for Jab and Zaka to hold back, and now we were all hiding behind a broken rock, and it wasn't long before I saw the first man's head pop out.
......
Sure enough, it's not a masked man.
It was a normal-looking man whom I had not seen before.
As soon as the guy came in, he immediately looked around, obviously looking for our location, while I continued to hide behind the rocks with Yabu and Zaka.
This person should have thought that the poisonous gas just now had killed us, and after looking around, he immediately walked out, and then more people came out behind him.
