Chapter 1183: New Life (Thirty-Nine)
The guy who fell to the ground tried to sneak up on me with a weapon, but Jab flew up and kicked me in the door and lay on the ground again, and Zaka from behind followed him up and stabbed him to death.
That's exactly what I meant, because I didn't intend to continue to ask about the situation in the neighborhood through this person, after all, it was already clear that the people of Taoyuan Island had now cooperated with the voodoo cult to start a surprise attack on the wanderers in the Qinhuai Mountains, and this could also very well explain why so many semi-infected people suddenly appeared and attacked us before.
......
I gasped a few times, and looked back at the last wanderer, who also looked nervous, panting as he looked at the corpses on the ground.
"Lead the way!" I urged, "Where is Ouyang Shuo!"
"They're trapped...... We must save them now!" said the wanderer, pointing to the lower side of the summit of the Talantle Peak.
I said in my heart, how did this come full circle, but it became me to save them? And judging from the direction pointed by the wanderer just now, it was clearly the prison under the peak of the headquarters, and it was the location of the prison where I thought Qin Yao was locked up before.
I looked at the wanderer again, and thought to myself, "Could it be this kid who is cheating?" but it didn't look like it, for both Jab and Zaka knew him.
At that moment, I suddenly noticed a strange cloud of strange colors rushing from the edge of the sky, which was neither the usual gray-brown nor the blood-colored red, but a cloud of almost cyan color, and there was nothing in it that thundered and thundered.
This cloud doesn't look very big, from my point of view, it's the area of more than a dozen suns combined, but it's unusual for this cloud to appear here now.
Because the inspiration and cold here have been completely isolated and suppressed, it means that the cause of this cloud in the sky must be the third energy, and the color of this cloud is so weird, which also makes me confirm this even more.
Everyone else has noticed this, but they don't seem to know much about the power of the clouds, so they don't say anything in particular.
The cloud had traveled a short distance in the air and then came to a halt, and if we were to calculate the horizontal and vertical distance, it would have been at least five hundred meters from where we were now, but even so, I could clearly feel the impact of energy from the vicinity of the cloud.
That's right...... This is also the first time I have felt impacted since I was banned from this place, and this time the feeling is particularly special, because this is neither the impact of psionic energy nor the impact of cold air, these two energy shocks are still very familiar to me with the sensory experience, basically similar to the feeling after being hit by hot water in my body.
Now the impact is more akin to a psychological sense of oppression, and it is a real oppression, as if my breathing is going to stop at any moment, accompanied by a slight numbness in my hands and feet.
However, unlike me, the others didn't react at all.
......
Jab and Zaka looked as alive as ever, tilting their heads to look at me with a puzzled look on their faces, and the wanderer began to urge me to hurry up with him, or it would be too late.
I saw that the clouds were not moving for the time being, and I was not in a bad situation of complete paralysis, and I thought that after seeing Ouyang Shuo, he might have a way to completely resolve this paralysis, so I began to continue to follow the wanderer towards the depths of the forest ahead.
I also kept an eye out for anyone chasing behind me as I went, and I didn't know if the first group of Taoyuan Islanders had been lost, or if they had found a new target, but I didn't hear any more traces of the pursuers.
In addition, since we had encountered a trap before, this time I will not let the wanderer go to the front, but will let him guide the way, and I will be responsible for "stepping on the thunder" in front.
Soon I triggered more traps along the way, but they were a piece of cake for my reaction, but even then I didn't dare to be careless, because I couldn't guarantee that the inhibition of psionic energy would lead to another weakening of my self-healing ability, and in case I had a wound from which I could not recover quickly, the whole plan would be implicated.
As I ran through the woods, I heard a lot of loud shouts coming from the front of me, and the direction of the sound was clearly coming from the location of the underground prison.
I'm a little strange, this underground prison has actually been thoroughly inspected when we were looking for Qin Yao, there can't be any secret passages at all, and I haven't seen any other valuable people or items except for the prisoners inside, I can't figure out why Ouyang Shuo chose to retreat to this "dead end".
However, the wanderer soon gave me a general explanation, saying that the top floor of the headquarters was suddenly attacked by a flock of Gu birds, which caused several surrounding artillery batteries to be paralyzed, and then a large number of people went crazy for unknown reasons, and some of them even changed their faces, and at the same time lost their minds, and began to shoot at the people nearby.
And Ouyang Shuo chose to temporarily retreat to a single-entrance "pocket" in order to avoid the deterioration of this situation, and now they are tantamount to resisting stubbornly on the main road, and now this main road may not be able to support it.
Later, Ouyang Shuo found out my general movements through the detector, but due to the suppression of energy, the effect of the detector was not very good, otherwise they should have found me faster.
As we spoke, we had already approached the location of the prison, and I saw a large circle of people over there, but these people were not those crazy masked people, nor were they other Gu creatures that resembled soul-regenerating corpses, but just a group of normal people.
You don't have to guess to know that the people of Taoyuan Island have surrounded this place, and the guy who was forced to confess by me just now really didn't tell the truth, because I found that the number of Taoyuan Island people who surrounded this place alone exceeded two hundred, and a considerable number of human heads could be seen lurking in the forest outside the entrance of the entire prison.
"How many of you are in there?" I asked.
"Less than a hundred......," said the wanderer, "we used to have about two hundred people, but we were looking for you to break through...... Another half of the ...... was lost"
I frowned, and continued to look around, remembering that the wanderer had already said that a large number of wanderers had been transformed into crazy masked people by unknown energy not long ago, but I didn't see any of them nearby.
Combined with the search and arrest of the surrounding woodland by those Taoyuan Island people just now, they may also be killing or locking up all those uncontrolled masked people.
I immediately asked the wanderer how many of their people had turned into masked-faced weirdos at first.
The wanderer didn't even think about it and said, "At least three or four hundred! Brother Ouyang almost broke out with us at that time!"
Four hundred......
Judging from the strength of the masked people I have fought with, it is completely impossible for the people of Taoyuan Island to kill them in such a short period of time, so the only possibility that the masked people are not seen here now is that they were lured away.
According to the time, the distance of this large number of masked people will not be too far, and it is very likely that they are nearby.
Then I instantly remembered the cyan cloud just now, according to the spiritual energy I was familiar with, there must be a strong energy source under this cloud, and wherever this person goes, that cloud will follow, because the cause of this cloud is because of this person.
Could this person be the Moon Spirit?
Unfortunately, I don't feel like it, because if the moon spirit was around, I'm sure she'd have some way to communicate with me spiritually in order to further destroy my mind.
Moreover, there are countless strange people in the voodoo sect around the moon spirit, maybe one of these people?Moreover, this person is also a master of the third unknown energy, and one of the effects of this unknown energy is that it can interfere with the minds of Gu or other energy creatures, so ...... Could it be that the purpose of this dark cloud moving here is actually to contain the large number of wanderers who have turned into masked faces?
At present, this place is surrounded by Taoyuan Island people, and without energy support, it is impossible and very risky for me to cut a gap with one knife alone, so I decided to surround Wei to save Zhao, and I will attack the bottom of the cyan cloud, so there will be two possibilities for such a result.
One is that the people of Taoyuan Island who are surrounded on this side are forced to go to support under pressure, so that Ouyang Shuo and they can break through.
The second is that I use my own energy to control the masked man over there to help and assist us.
Either scenario is extremely beneficial to us, and while the success rate is debatable, it's the only thing I can think of at this stage that is likely to work.
I immediately conveyed my method to Yabu and Zaka and the last wanderer, Yabu and Zaka were naturally convinced of my suggestion, while the last wanderer immediately shook his head and said that it was too risky to do so, because if I lost, Ouyang Shuo's plan would be over.
I told this person not to talk nonsense, just continue to stay where he is with Yabu, Zaka and others, and directly cooperate with Ouyang Shuo's team in the prison to break through as soon as he has the opportunity.
Time was short, and I didn't have time to explain the reason to him in detail, so I just told him to obey my orders, and then I went back to the direction of the blue cloud, the way I had come.
In fact, I am not so afraid of the many traps lurking in this forest and the people of Taoyuan Island who are ambushing and patrolling, after all, I have seen both of these things with my own eyes, and most of them are normal and acceptable.
What I'm really worried about now is the cyan cloud in the sky and the strong energy source below the cloud, because my own use and perception of the third energy is almost blank now, and everything I can do is be improvised.
But I still have an advantage now, that is, I am still in the dark for the time being, and now the energy source under the clouds over there is so strong, it is very likely to cover up the energy spread on my side, not to mention, whether they have monitored the nearby energy source or not, after all, this kind of detector is only in stock on the wanderer's side for the time being.
Since I had basically returned the same way, I didn't avoid or dismantle any more traps, which bought me a lot of time, and it took me less than half the time to get almost close to the blue cloud.
However, to my surprise, until now I have not seen or heard anyone nearby, but the energy sensation of the impact has become more and more intense, although the numbness in my hands and feet has not further intensified, but I can clearly feel a strong air pressure, in order to prevent it, I have been creating pain in some parts of my body almost all the time, so as to keep my mind absolutely clear.
Seeing that the distance was almost complete, I found a relatively hidden place under the canopy, and looked closely through the cyan clouds with the branches and leaves facing upwards.
I frowned, looked closely at the phantoms, and was soon horrified to find that they looked like resentful spirits!
I rub ......
Not quite like ...... It's clear that it is!
Because these resentful spirits have begun to emerge from the inside of the cyan clouds, but they are still very different from the ghostly "ghost children", after these resentful spirits "fall off" from the clouds, they immediately fall to the ground one after another like old hens laying eggs.
I was taken aback, because I didn't have a good way to deal with so many semi-infected people now, so I subconsciously chose to hide at the moment, but then I found that these resentful spirits didn't seem to notice my existence at all, or didn't care about me at all, but began to run forward quickly and "run" in groups.
At the same time, the clouds in the sky began to gradually disperse, and it was only now that I realized that the cloud in the sky just now was just the color of a group of resentful spirits coming together, no wonder I didn't see any energy source individuals under this cloud.
After these resentful spirits landed, they did not rush in the direction of the underground prison, but leaned directly towards the vicinity of the peak headquarters, I was a little puzzled, who was controlling these resentful spirits?
