Chapter 345: Retreat to the Altar 2

Although Li Bingning was reprimanding his subordinates, he didn't agree with me: "Brother Wang, I don't think there should be any problem. Sunlight is the nemesis of all yin things, and no ghost can run rampant at noon when the yang energy is at its fullest, so I think we should evacuate quickly, right?"

Li Bingning is reminding me that we are running out of time.

Noon is the heaviest time of the day, after one o'clock in the afternoon, before the noon intersects, the yang energy will weaken slightly, and at the end of the Shen time, that is, after five o'clock in the afternoon, the yin and yang will begin to change again, and the powerful ghosts can already move freely.

We are now only a third of the way through the swamp, and there is still a long way to go to cross the swamp, and it is not yet known what obstacles we will encounter along the way, and who can guarantee that we will be able to get through the swamp before evening?

I looked at Li Bingning and said, "If it is replaced by a Gu worm that feeds by instinct, of course I am not afraid." But those monkeys have a high IQ, so aren't you afraid that they're in an ambush?"

"This ......" Li Bingning was also slightly surprised.

The pathfinder just now was not convinced: "How can you prove that they are in ambush? If you don't believe me, I'll probe again." ”

I can understand the man's emotions. He wasn't necessarily targeting me, maybe he was just not convinced.

Whoever is in between, risking his life, entering and exiting the monkey group a few times, and finally determining the route, suddenly another person jumps out and completely denies everything he has done before, and he will turn his face, which is human nature.

After the man finished speaking, he strode to the middle of the monkeys: "I will stand here now, I will take a step, and you will take a step." I don't believe anything could go wrong. ”

Ignoring the other man, I jumped straight from the altar, approached one of the puddles, and slowly pressed my ears to the ground, and soon after, I heard the forced suppression of my breath coming from the face of the puddle.

Both humans and beasts are in a state of nervous tension when ambushing their opponents, and the closer their prey gets, the more nervous they become. This mental euphoria will continue until the battle is completely over.

Shortness of breath is one of the manifestations of hyperactivity, people can forcibly suppress the sound of breathing, but can not eliminate the excitement, listening to the other person's breath is enough to judge whether they are dormant or ambush.

I stood up lightly and quietly withdrew to Li Bingning's side: "They are in ambush, hurry up and retreat." ”

Li Bingning hesitated slightly, and immediately waved his hand to the detective hand standing in the distance, meaning: Let him not make a sound and retreat quietly.

The man suddenly became anxious: "Commander, when has this been, why are you still hesitating? We can't wait any longer, waiting can only be a dead end!"

Li Bingning suddenly said angrily: "I order you to come back for me, immediately." All of them withdrew to the altar, and whoever dared to disobey the order was to be executed on the spot. ”

"Yes!" the man finally lowered his head in agreement, but as soon as he took two steps, the puddle around him burst into mud at the same time, and more than a dozen water tigers jumped up into the air and pounced fiercely at the man from all directions.

The man was shocked and raised his hand to slash outward, cutting a water tiger into two pieces in the air, and before the body landed, he was bitten by more than a dozen monsters at the same time, screaming and rolling to the ground, the surrounding water tigers immediately swarmed up, and the person was annihilated in the monkey group, and the sound of the human body being torn apart by sharp claws suddenly came from the air.

When the corners of their mouths dripped blood, the red water tigers scattered again, and there was not even a single white bone left on the ground except for a puddle of blood mixed into the muddy water.

I looked at the water tigers licking the blood on their bodies, and I couldn't help but gasp.

I have long seen the ferocity of the water tiger, and I will not tremble because of the blood in front of me, what really shocked me is that the IQ of the water tiger, they are by no means ordinary monsters.

They could have chewed up any bone on a person's body, but they left two human heads and threw them on the altar in order to provoke the gods above to fight with them.

They were not afraid of the sun, but they pretended not to be able to stand the scorching sun, and they burrowed into the mud one after another, refusing to come out even if they were trampled on the top of their heads, in order to catch us all while we were leaving the altar.

Even the average herd couldn't do that, but they almost succeeded in an ambush.

I looked at Li Bingning, who had a solemn face, and said, "You say, can those monsters understand human speech?"

Li Bingning's face changed suddenly.

Those monsters suddenly launched an offensive after Li Bingning gave the order. Before they hid, Li Bingning also stood on the edge of the altar and said that the water tiger was afraid of the sun.

If they couldn't understand what Li Bingning was saying, how could they react in such a short period of time?

When Li Bingning looked at the water tiger on the ground in shock, the other party actually showed a grim smile.

Li Bingning's face turned pale and asked, "Brother Wang, what should we do now?"

I stared at one of the water tigers and said slowly, "Wait and see. Often where poisonous insects gather, there are ways to restrain poisonous insects. The same goes for goblins. I don't believe they have any weakness, at least, they don't dare attack this altar. Let's guard the altar first. ”

I never let go of the water tiger's eyes between my words, I clearly saw a trace of fear flash in the water tiger's eyes, but I didn't know that I was the one who touched the other party's nerves?

Perhaps the things that can restrain the water tigers are in the altar beneath our feet.

This altar with bluestone accumulation, about only a hundred and ten square area, in addition to moss and stone cracks, there is no strange and valuable thing to see, Li Bingning and I looked on the ground for a long time, only to see a moon-shaped sign on the corner of the altar?

I looked at Li Bingning and said, "Miao people worship the moon?"

"I haven't heard of it!" Li Bingning shook his head and said, "I only heard that the Miao people worship their ancestors. ”

Li Bingning said: "Could this altar have anything to do with the moonlight? Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and today is the sixteenth, if I stay on the altar, maybe there will be a clue, but ......"

Li Bingning couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Forget it, even if something really changes, we won't be able to break through now." Leave it to fate!"

Li Bingning was silent, and the altar was quiet again, but the wet land was steamy under the fierce sunlight, and the air within a radius of hundreds of meters seemed to tremble slightly under the high temperature, and the entire swamp seemed to be gradually distorted in the surging heat wave.

In the midst of a few drowsiness moments, I suddenly felt something slowly approaching my feet, and I suddenly woke up from my slumber and looked at my feet. But there was nothing in front of my feet.

I was about to reach out to wipe my sweat, but the corner of my eye swept to a handprint on the side of my leg - it wasn't that there was no one at my feet just now, but that he walked past me before I could open my eyes.

I tilted my head slightly, and Li Bingning, who was leaning behind me, also turned his head at the same time. The moment I met the other party's eyes, a bloody light suddenly flashed in Li Bingning's pupils, and the two eyes were like ripples made of a pair of blood, spreading outward in circles with a red color, occupying most of the other party's face in just a moment.

The moment the blood flowed in Li Bingning's eyes, I reached out and grabbed the dagger beside me, until when the opponent's eye socket spread outward, I had already pressed the tip of the knife against the opponent's throat.

Li Bingning seemed to be unaware, the crisis came, the two eyes stared at me deadly, and the pupils immersed in the blood light seemed to have turned into two whirlpools that swirled in time, pulling my gaze towards his eyes.

I became dizzy for a moment, and my hands were like those of a drunken person, although they could still move, but they could not exert their strength, and the dagger that had already suppressed the other party was slid down my fingertips to the ground a moment later.

And I was like a person who had fallen into a nightmare, knowing clearly in my heart that when the crisis came, the ghost was on the side, but I couldn't move my limbs, and I could only watch the evil ghost in the dream grab my throat.

Just as my whole body was gradually becoming weak, I suddenly felt a layer of warm water spray on my face, and my whole body suddenly woke up.

When I was watching, Li Bingning was still sitting opposite me, with an extra knife on his thigh, the corners of his mouth were constantly dripping blood, and his whole face was extremely white: "Brother Wang, go away, miasma...... The detoxification pill on my body......"

Before Li Bingning finished speaking, the person had already fallen to the ground, but I understood what he meant, he said that there was miasma in the swamp.

Miasma is a poisonous gas produced by the accumulation and decay of animal and plant carcasses in tropical primeval forests all year round. On the contrary, swamps do not produce miasma, swamps are usually flat, and even if they produce poisonous miasma, they will be blown away by the wind and not silted up somewhere.

However, the five poisonous origins are different, this is in the hinterland of Leigong Mountain, sealed by mountains on all sides, and the gathering of poisonous insects, once the miasma is generated, it will be extremely violent.

It was already early in the morning when we approached the swamp of the Five Poison Plains, the temperature was not high in the morning, and the miasma hidden under the stagnant water in the swamp did not evaporate, and at noon the temperature gradually increased, the underwater miasma gushed up, and the range within a radius of several hundred meters naturally became a poisonous swamp.

I quickly turned my head to look around, and the whole swamp was filled with rose-colored smoke at some point, and the rose smoke and rain were floating in the clouds, and the magnificence and dazzling but hidden murderous motives, and the detective hand guarding the edge of the altar had already foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

Li Bingning and I don't know why we hallucinated at the same time, Li Bingning was a little better than me, at least he stabbed himself in the thigh at a critical moment, forcibly broke himself out of the illusion, and bit the tip of his tongue and squirted a mouthful of blood into my face, which woke me up from the miasma.

Li Bingning was about to lose consciousness, but she was still saying repeatedly like a dream: "Brother Wang, go quickly...... Come on...... Don't forget to make an appointment......"
