Chapter 32: Wild Dogs
"It is estimated that they have no time to deal with it, and next to the old bicycle shed, there are a few dead dogs lying in the row. I walked up slowly, and the dead dogs were lying on the ground, most of their bodies had been cut by a knife, and they walked over and squatted down and played with them a few times.
It didn't take long for you to make a discovery!
Most of these dogs were hacked to death, and their expressions were still very hideous when they died. The eyes are not closed, and one thing all these dead dogs have in common is that they have a hole in their tongues, and they all have a round hole in the middle of their tongues, and it is a very regular shape, and it looks like they have been pierced with a drill.
"Fatty, do you see if the other dogs have holes in their tongues too?"
I turned around and shouted, and the fat man and Luo Qiong hurriedly broke the mouths of several dead dogs, and sure enough, all dead dogs had a hole in their tongues. This common denominator never happens by accident, there must be something wrong with it.
"Fatty, I think there might be earth beasts around here. ”
Hearing my words, the fat man was taken aback and asked nervously, "Are you sure?"
"Not sure, but it's like. I've got a way to see if there are any earth beasts around here. If there is, we'll find a way to get another vote. ”
The method I'm talking about is actually the "Wild Zen" branch I got from the masked wizard earlier, which should attract the earth beast, and then chant a spell when the earth beast gets close to stun the earth beast. With such a magical artifact, I have to find a chance to give it a try.
With the method of "Wudang Five Elements Gong", I walked around the neighborhood and found a place with a strange breath and a heavy yin qi. Then the "Wild Zen" branch was inserted into the ground, and we scattered far away. But after a while, there was no movement. The fat man yawned and asked, "Xiaoshan, this broken branch is not fake, why is there no reaction?"
I was also wondering, so I opened the spell given by the masked wizard and looked at it, only to realize what the problem was!
There are two spells written on the note, and the words are those rare words that take a long time to find in the dictionary, but fortunately, they are marked with pinyin. One of these two spells is used to activate the "Wild Zen" branch to attract nearby earth beasts to approach, and the other is used to stun earth beasts. So, just sticking this thing in the dirt doesn't work.
I cleared my throat and began to chant the mantra, "Huh...... ga...... Refined...... shan......”
The first time I read it, I stammered and couldn't make it clear. The fat man and Luo Qiong standing next to him looked anxious, but they couldn't help me, and they didn't know many words themselves.
"Holy shit, it's too hard to pronounce. It seems that it will have to be recited nine times in a row to have an effect, damn it!"
I couldn't help but curse after stammering the first time, and the fat man snickered behind him and said, "Let your kid not study well in the past, and reciting a mantra is like eating chili oil, and his mouth is pouting like a chick." ”
Luo Qiong laughed after hearing this, I glared at him angrily, continued to practice, and naturally became more comfortable after reading more. After reciting it nine times in a row, the branch of the "Wild Zen" tree planted in front of him seemed to tremble slightly. I looked at it, and the "Wild Zen" branch seemed to sense something, and after shaking a few times, it stopped.
"Hey, that's really useful. ”
I tasted the sweetness and continued to recite the mantra, and the more I recited it, the more fluent I became. The branches of the "Wild Zen" tree shook more obviously, as if a rope was pulling, swaying from side to side.
"There's a reaction, Brother Shan is really good!"
Luo Qiong shouted in surprise.
After about ten minutes of chanting, the qi around me finally changed! I stopped chanting the mantra and looked around, the bicycle shed was behind me, the road was far away, and it was really inaccessible. I turned around and whispered, "There's a situation, you keep an eye on it." ”
It was unusually quiet in all directions, and I saw a figure coming out of the woods in the distance, not fast, but it seemed to be quite tall. After passing through the woods, he stood in the shadows.
"Little pony?"
Luo Qiong asked curiously, judging from this size, it does look like a horse, but where are there horses near Avenida Shanghai? At most, there are zoos, and this is definitely not a horse. He was tall and looked like a horse.
"If it's not a horse, what could it be?"
I wondered in my heart. He didn't dare to move, and continued to chant the mantra silently, and the branches of the "Wild Zen" shook a little, which attracted the attention of the black shadow even more. It slowly came out of the shadows under the tree, and my eyes looked deeply, what could it be? Is it really a horse?
Just as the thing was about to come out, there was a sudden sound of people in the distance, followed by the sound of the bell of the bicycle, and the startled black figure turned and ran into the woods, and I could not make out its face.
"Hey, it's a failure, who the fuck came here in the middle of the night. ”
I sighed a little unpleasantly. After the bikes were far away, I continued to chant the mantra, but after waiting for nearly an hour, I saw no more black shadows, and I had to admit that the thing had gone far and pounced on itself.
I walked over and put away the "Wild Zen" branches on the ground, my eyes fell on the dark shadow next to me, the ground was a little wet, I looked down and looked closely, it looked like water droplets, it looked like saliva left by animals, sticky and with some smell.
"Come and see!"
The fat man greeted me, and after walking over, the fat man pointed to a few footprints on the dirt in the woods and said, "Luo Qiong, come and see, what are the footprints left by this thing?"
I also looked over, and the few footprints on the dirt were plum blossom-shaped, but they were large, more than twice the size of my palm. In addition, the soil at the top of the plum blossom is poked with holes, indicating that the animals that step on it have long claws.
Luo Qiong looked down, compared it and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is like a wolf's claws." ”
The fat man and I were stunned, wolf claws? This is simply a fantasy, how can there be wolves in Shanghai?
"Luo Qiong is not mistaken, right? You said this is a wolf's claw?"
I asked again, surprised.
"Make no mistake, this should be a wolf's claw, I've seen it in the mountains. The shape of the footprints was very similar to the ones I had seen left behind by wild wolves, but wild wolves in the mountains did not have such large feet. Just now I saw that the animal's size was much larger than the wild wolf in the mountains. So, I'm not sure it's a wolf. Maybe it's some kind of mutated earth beast. ”
I believe in Luo Qiong's words, there are many kinds of wolves, steppe wolves, mountain wolves, and snow wolves in cold regions. Although they are both wolves, they have different appearances and habits. Some of the wild wolves in the Great Black Mountain are crossbred by wild dogs, they are not big, their body size is generally fifty or sixty centimeters long, their backs are long, and their weight is forty to fifty pounds. But not all wolves are so small, I know some foreign gray wolves, which can reach two meters in length and weigh ninety kilograms. It can fight tigers and lions, and wolves are social animals, so such a large group of killers can be avoided even by other big cats.
But there are no wolves in Shanghai, and if a wolf escapes from the zoo, it will be in the news long ago.
The black shadow we just saw may be an earth beast as Luo Qiong said.
"I had a hunch that it was a good thing that we didn't go out just now. Luo Qiong suddenly said, "Wolves are social animals, there may be other wolves hiding nearby, if we make a move just now, it is very likely that we will be attacked by wolves." The three of us can't get the wolves. These animals can kill us in three or five strokes. ”
Compared to the previous mad dog gang, the wolves are a hundred times more terrifying.
"Let's go back first, I think we'd better leave this matter alone, Brother Jun. Let him figure it out on his own, and let's make our money. I can't take my life!"
The fat man shook his head and suggested.
It was already dark and there were no vehicles and pedestrians on the street, so I reluctantly said, "Okay, let's go back first." ”
Unexpectedly, this matter did not end so easily. At noon the next day, we were eating out, and we saw a young man running over from afar. opened his mouth and said, "You are Ba Xiaoshan, right?"
I paused and nodded.
"I'm Brother Jun's man, and he asked me to come to you. Just in the disco, let's go. ”
How would Brother Jun know where I lived, and what was he looking for us?
I followed the young man in a daze, and when I arrived at the discotheque, I saw that the door was closed, and I didn't look ready to open at night. The young man knocked on the door, and the door opened a crack, and when he saw that it was us, he let us in.
When I entered the door, I saw Brother Jun sitting on the sofa, with gauze wrapped in his hands, as if he was injured.
"Brother Jun, people are here. The young man shouted.
Brother Jun looked up at the two of us, opened his mouth and said, "I'm looking for your help." ”“
