Chapter 18: Unknown Creatures in the Mist
Fang Yaoyao saw that only Yu Mingyu came back, so she knew that something was going on.
Without waiting for Fang Yaoyao and the others to ask, Yu Mingyu shook his head and said, "There is no trace, the traces of those two guys only left around the camp, and then they seemed to disappear out of thin air." ”
Yu Mingyu found the sixth man sitting against the tent, and he wanted to know more about the strange news left by the old hunters. After a period of time, there are more people around me who are angry and angry, and compared with not long ago, Lao Liu's mental state has become much stronger.
Without the initial despair, the sixth child also began to think about how to solve the current situation.
The flustered sheep will always unconsciously follow the sheep that still keep their direction, and he knows everything about Yu Mingyu's sixth child, and he told several different versions of the story in a row.
The story is basically the same, mainly the hunter enters the ghost fog where the dead man's flower grows, and never returns. The difference is that some say that they saw the dead man flower first and then entered the fog, and some say that they advanced the fog and then saw the dead man's flower.
Yu Mingyu believes in the dead man's flower, the sixth has been in the mountain for half his life, it can be said that some of the six in the mountain have seen it, but this legendary dead man's flower is the first time to see it.
Although there was no obvious gain, Yu Mingyu's words were reminded by the sixth child's words, and the sixth said: This fog is a man-eating ghost!
The more Yu Mingyu thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a small possibility, and he found the seagull who taught him a lesson.
In the eyes of the expedition, Seagull is just a folklore researcher, and everyone is considered to be at the same level, why are you pressing us. Just as Seagull ordered everyone to count their outfits, a young man under the bodyguard Li Tou became angry and came up to push this girl's chirping guy.
The seagull jumped out of the pool of blood, no matter whether you pushed or used the knife, he pressed the bodyguard to the ground with one hand, if it wasn't in the secret forest, the seagull was afraid that he would break his wrist this time.
Yu Mingyu didn't shy away when he came over, and asked directly: "Seagull, do you only know any transcendent beings that can spread fog, or like a living fog?"
The seagull pushed forward and let go of the angry bodyguard, pondered for a while and said: "There are too many fog spreaders, just in the secret forest of southern Xinjiang, there are no less than five fingers, and as for the living fog, there is a ...... that can match the number."
"What is it?" asked Yu Mingyu.
"Fog Demon, the fog that has not dispersed for a hundred years has opened up the spiritual wisdom, and the first birth is the fourth order. But this thing's transcendent road is too difficult to walk, and there are a few in the whole of China, and I have never heard of this in the secret forest of Southern Xinjiang!"
"Do you suspect there's something in the fog?" asked Seagull
"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty!" Yu Mingyu's voice was very firm, "Those two people definitely let something go away suddenly, if they get lost by themselves, I will definitely be able to follow, and it is also a result for you to let Sister Dao go." ”
Seagull waved his hand, although the two did not have a lot of contact, but Seagull could be sure that Yu Mingyu was a person who had something to say. If you don't open your mouth, forget it, and if you open your mouth, it's basically a sure thing.
While Yu Mingyu and the seagull were talking, Fang Yaoyao and Hu Guofu also gathered. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Light Death Squad discussed the next course of action.
"First of all, figure out how to get out of the ghost fog. ”
"Those people ......"
"If you can help, you can help, if we can't protect ourselves, we will ......"
"Lao Wang has to take it, it's our employer who doesn't say it, and his character is okay, who will give us money if he doesn't have it!"
"And the sixth child, even if there is no one who is familiar with the forest with this ghost fog, we may all have to plunge headlong into the depths of the secret forest in southern Xinjiang. ”
......
After a short meeting, the Light Death team divided up their work as before, Seagull and Hu Guofu stayed in the camp to settle the team, and the hut duo went deep into the ghost fog to gather information.
As the camp in the rear gradually disappeared into the dense fog, the strings in Yu Mingyu's heart became tighter and tighter. As he and Fang Yaoyao had guessed, there was no sign of any life activity in the mist except for plants.
Suddenly, the two of them smelled a faint smell of blood, and the place where the blood was stained was far away from them, so far away that they did not dare to set foot easily. The Blood Clan is extremely sensitive to the breath of blood, and the two of them will not make a mistake in judgment in this regard.
Yu Mingyu and Fang Yaoyao glanced at each other, and their meaning to each other instantly became clear. Don't check it out, return to camp immediately.
For the Light Death Squad, the smell of blood represents more than enough information. No matter who the dripping blood belonged to, it confirmed Yu Mingyu's suspicion that there was some unknown creature in the mist.
After returning to the camp, the two first told Haiou and Hu Guofu about their discovery. Then they found their employer Wang Wen, and they told Wang Wen three points of lies, saying that they found the bloodstains of the suspected missing two, after all, the smell of blood is still relatively metaphysical for ordinary people.
The rest of the delegation is not as unafraid as they were at the beginning, on the one hand, Lao Liu keeps preaching the story of his set of dead man's flowers, on the other hand, Li Bin and Zhou Yang's disappearance, and more importantly, they also found out, for a long time, this fog has no meaning to dissipate at all.
Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.
Just as everyone was packing up and preparing to leave, there was a sound on the right side of the camp, like some large creature stepping on a dead branch on the ground.
The seagull shouted at the camp, "Quiet!"
Everyone didn't know why, but they were subject to the lust of the seagulls, so they all obediently did it.
The sound gradually became obvious, and the other party had no intention of hiding it at all, and later even ordinary people with less sensitive senses could hear it.
A black leopard slowly appeared in the mist, the leopard was huge, a person was tall before standing upright, and the whiskers on the side of the leopard's mouth were still stained with some brown marks.
Seagull's face froze, and he said in a low voice, "Attention, third-order demon beast shadow leopard." ”
The shadow leopard's bronze bell-like eyes shocked Hu Guofu's legs and stomach, in order to reduce the fear in his heart, he said to the seagull: "Seagull, your own family, go up and meow twice, let the leopard master let us go!"
"Your sister in this family! Lao Tzu is a demon, it is a demon beast!"
The creatures that have opened the spirit are called demons, and those who do not have spirit intelligence and whose behavior is all controlled by instinct are called demon beasts. The blue-footed dragon is a demon beast, and the shadow leopard is also a demon beast.
Shadow Leopard knew that the four in front of him were blocked in the pile of blood food in front of him. Without saying hello, it went straight to the four of them.
The demon beast spends the whole day fighting, and the battle instinct is extremely terrifying, and in the case of the same rank, one demon beast can compete with four or five cultivators. The Light Death Squad in front of him really can't make Shadow Leopard feel a sense of crisis.
Seeing that the light death team chose a direction to dodge around, several people showed their abilities, and all the things that could be used were released.
Yu Mingyu's meow knife, Fang Yaoyao's several short blades flying in the air, and the seagull also put on a posture, I don't know when I put a pair of fingered tigers on my hands.
The only one with a sad face is Hu Guofu, he is not as physical as the above, and he has not practiced "Five Ghosts Imperial Art" at home, and his only reliance is the spirit dagger that he calls the blade of weeping blood.
But this little short knife is not as long as the fangs of the shadow leopard.
Therefore, when the fight began, only Hu Guofu retreated.
Yu Mingyu used the old method of hiding needles in a knife to yin the shadow leopard, but the shadow leopard was much stronger than the blue-footed Tianlong, and Yu Mingyu's dense blood needles only just pierced its fur.
But this also made Shadow Leopard remember Yu Mingyu, and when he swung the knife again, Shadow Leopard didn't dodge anymore, and the tail behind him flicked towards Yu Mingyu, completely fighting with injuries for injuries. The shadow leopard has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is not a big deal to be injured, but Yu Mingyu can't afford to play it.
The Shadow Leopard's thick tail was full of tense muscles, and it was a broken bone when touched.
Yu Mingyu, who had no tricks, could only wander around, constantly attacking the weak parts of the shadow leopard's eyes, nose, and abdomen with blood needles.
Seeing that the main force on this side of the Light Death Team was Fang Yaoyao, the shadow leopard played by the treacherous blood line had no clue, and it would be cut out by Fang Yaoyao if it didn't pay attention to it.
Most of the wounds were superficial, which had little impact on the Shadow Leopard, and the battle was in a stalemate for a while.
As for the seagull, as soon as he takes out his finger tiger, he should understand the close combat he is good at. But the size of the Shadow Leopard severely limited his performance. So from the beginning of the battle to the present, he has been almost as useful as Yu Mingyu, and the two of them have assisted Fang Yaoyao in attacking.
