Chapter 64: The Trap in the Miasma

Along the mountain road, the group crossed the normal foothill area and ascended halfway up the mountain.

The so-called ignorance of Lushan is only because he is in this mountain, and now he can be regarded as having experienced it.

Looking at this mountain peak from the outside was completely different from the feeling of actually entering it, and from the moment he stepped into the miasma area created by the demon, Lu Jiu only felt that he had entered another world.

Even the warm afternoon sun could not penetrate the miasma, and the bright jungle seemed to be covered with a black veil, and when you looked around, you could see the mysterious shadows reflected by the forest bushes soaked in it, coupled with the dim light, so that everyone in the forest could not help but feel heavy pressure.

Lu Jiu walked in the center of the team with three oxygen cylinders on his back, not because the demon hunting team wanted to protect him, but to ensure that he could alert the Qinglan demon hunting team around him as soon as he heard the abnormal noise, so as to facilitate follow-up responses.

At this time, Lu Jiu finally understood why the demon hunting team had to wait for a demon vein to join before they started to act.

Since the visual distance was compressed to a radius of five meters around the body, the team was able to ensure that they walked in the direction of the guild instead of going around in circles, almost relying on Zhou Chaolin's familiarity with the mountain, and the problem was that this personal intuition obviously did not guarantee 100% accuracy.

Therefore, Kazuchu at the back of the team had to constantly leave clear arrows in the prominent parts of the main trunks of the trees along the way, to ensure that if something unexpected happened later, the demon hunters would not get lost if they had to evacuate.

In this state, Lu Jiu's sense of hearing became the only tool for the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team to judge the direction of the monster.

Boom~

There was a faint muffled sound in the mist, and several people in the demon hunting team heard it, but it was difficult to distinguish the direction because of the slight sound, so they all turned their eyes to Lu Jiu in the middle.

Lu Jiu did not disappoint them.

"Follow me. ”

There is a limit to how long the oxygen cylinder can last, and Lu Jiu didn't plan to continue to mix, so he trotted straight in the direction where the sound came.

During the running, Lu Jiu deliberately slowed down, in order to make everyone in the demon hunting team behind him keep up.

After running out for about seventy or eighty meters, Lu Jiu stopped and looked at the people behind him, through the previous mountaineering and this short stretch of running, it was clear at a glance how the physical condition of several people in the demon hunting team was.

Xiao Qing, the youngest in the team, has the worst physical strength, and now he has begun to gasp, Du Qi and Cheng Qing are at the same level, sweating on their foreheads but their breath is quite even, and the rest of Zhou Chaolin and Geqiu are similar to Lu Jiu and have not been affected.

"There's a dead tree here that fell, it's probably an accident. ”

With a judgment in his heart, Lu Jiu took a step away and pointed to a tree the thickness of a bowl that had collapsed on the ground, and the sound he heard just now was the sound made when the tree collapsed and collided with the ground.

His eyes fell on the broken wood on the ground, and everyone in the highly nervous demon hunting team barely breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Lu's ability to listen to the position is okay, and he can lock in such a precise position at such a distance. ”

Xu was to boost morale, and Zhou Chaolin, who was carrying a long knife, took the initiative to praise him.

"It's quiet in the woods, so the sound is easier to judge, let's keep looking, this place looks sneaky tight. ”

"I also felt a little wrong. ”

Ge Qiu, who was standing beside Zhou Chaolin, turned sideways and pointed in the direction where the group came from, and continued.

"Along the way, didn't you notice that this forest is too quiet, not to mention the cries of birds and beasts, not even the sound of the wind, let's get here from the mountain......"

Boom!

It's like the popping sound of a balloon bursting.

Before everyone could react, Geqiu, who was speaking in front of him, suddenly fell down, letting out a series of painful cries from his mouth.

"Ahh

The sudden severe pain made Geqiu fall to his knees helplessly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his right arm was drooping at his side, and the joints were crooked in a strange posture, clearly broken!

"Where is the enemy?"

Zhou Chaolin, who was closest to Geqiu, subconsciously crouched down to check the former's arm, while the rest of the people stood around in a fan shape.

He looked around blankly, but the gun in his hand didn't know where to aim.

The miasma-filled jungle was quiet and panicking, and the shadows everywhere looked even more terrifying at this time, as if a monster would suddenly rush out in the next second.

Lu Jiu on the side was also surprised at this time.

You must know that Geqiu is only two meters away from him, and he can hear clearly if there is a fly flying over within this range, but when Geqiu was attacked, Lu Jiu didn't hear any strange noises around him at all!

Where is the enemy?

Lu Jiu frowned, looking around, looking for something suspicious.

Boom!

There was another muffled thud.

This time it was Xiao Qing, who fell at the end of the line, and almost at the same time as the voice sounded, he vomited blood and fell backwards, and there was a noticeable collapse in his chest.

At this moment, the miasma surging a few meters in front of Cheng Qing attracted Lu Jiu's attention, and he did not hesitate to pull out the gun and pull the trigger.

At a distance of less than five meters, even if Lu Jiu is a novice, the hit rate is still guaranteed, and the moment the bullet crosses, the muffled sound that has appeared twice in succession appears again.

Only this time no one was hurt, but instead there were suddenly scattered blades of grass and a pit the size of a bowl in the ground!

Lu Jiu stared at the dirt pit for two seconds, then walked to Geqiu's side and squatted down, took out the short knife on his waist and directly cut the clothes at the joints, and when he saw the wound on his arm that was obviously caused by the collision, his face showed a little abruptness, and he looked up at the few people next to him and said,

"Pay attention to the miasma around you, if there is any abnormal position, don't hesitate, shoot directly!"

"Brother Lu, what's going on?"

Zhou Chaolin noticed Lu Jiu's solemn expression and asked.

"There may be some kind of ...... around us You can think of it as a transparent bomb, eighty percent of which is the extraordinary ability that the demon has mutated and appeared, I don't know exactly what the situation is, but once this kind of thing is collided, it will explode immediately. ”

Putting down Ge Qiu's arm, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Jiu's scalp is somewhat numb now, and if he was hit just now, I am afraid that he will not be able to react.

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out one after another, mostly empty, but a few shots triggered the "transparent grenade" again, causing a small explosion, which made everyone more and more nervous.

Although no one was injured anymore, it is undeniable that this behavior is depleting their oxygen reserves.

I haven't even seen the shadow of the demon, and the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team is already in trouble!
