Chapter 14: Bloodlight
The escape route was formulated, and I glanced at the Gu Witch Keeper more, and thought to myself: so many Gu worms are scrambling to be the first, waiting to be fed, as if there is a group of bloodthirsty leeches on their bodies, no wonder the skin of these people is like the wall of a cave.

But there was no time to care about that, for while we were ready, the murderous elk suddenly flashed out of the darkness with a few snorts, its horns like tree branches, and we would all die if we were to be crushed.
"Run!" we retreated, until the elk was about to approach when Bao Cai cleverly passed through the tree on the left, and the little Taoist priest and I chose the right way. I could feel the ulcers on my arms spreading.
I gritted my teeth and endured it, the wound was like an immature acne, which made my head tighten for no reason.
The elk was chasing Baocai, because the urgent sound did not come from behind us, and I heard Baocai's cry, and he was already injured and could not run fast, and it is estimated that he will soon be caught up with him.
Without much thought, I pulled out the gun from my waist in my left hand and walked through the trees. The little Taoist priest then followed, this place is ancient trees, the roots of the trees are staggered and climbing, if you are not careful, you will trip, I thought not to save the electricity of the bicycle lamp, so I took it out and let the little Taoist light it.
When we saw the elk, the air was silent, the body of the treasure was already against the trunk of the tree, and he looked at the elk with its horns facing down and its mouth snorting, with a look of despair and fear!
There was no other way, so I raised my gun and shouted to Baocai, "Get out of the way!"
When Bao Cai heard my call, hope quickly ignited in his eyes, he quickly got up, hid back, and shouted excitedly: "Son, if you don't come again, Brother Bao will die!"
I told him not to be too happy too soon and to leave, and he answered and quickly disappeared behind the giant tree.
The elk saw that the treasure had run away, and for a moment it was a little angry, and spread its hooves, and I saw that it was a little abnormal, and when I was about to shoot, suddenly there was a sharp pain from the back of my hand, and I couldn't control it for a while, and the gun fell to the ground.
"What's the matter?" the little Taoist priest asked me worriedly, and I crouched down, bared my teeth, and stretched out my left hand tremblingly, and then I found that there was a silver needle on the back of my hand.
When the little Taoist priest saw it, he hurriedly shone the bicycle lights to the dark left side, only to see a figure suddenly flash away, like a ghost. I said in my heart: It's really easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows.
But I didn't have time to chase the people in the dark, and the most important thing now was to save the treasure, because he and the elk disappeared from our sight again, and I pulled out the silver needle, and with great difficulty picked up the gun on the ground, ignoring the pain in my left and right hands, and went away.
Before I could see them, I heard the screams of the treasure, and I ran anxiously to see the treasure lying on the ground, with his hands touching his waist, and crawling forward, and the fierce elk arching its long horns, as if to attack him a second time.
I got angry and rushed over, swearing, "you!" and my first shot hit the elk in the abdomen, and it screamed in pain and raised its front hooves, looking furious. Then, with those heart-pounding red eyes, it suddenly turned around and came towards me and the little Taoist.
It was so close that I panicked and took aim, and the third bullet in the gun missed by accident. I said to myself, "What a!"
I trembled my hands and hurriedly prepared to shoot again, but it was too late, and the elk appeared in front of me with the shadow of death, and my heart instantly tightened, thinking that it was over. Just when my mind was blank, the little Taoist priest suddenly rushed over and pushed me away, and he himself was pushed to the chest by the horns of the elk. I saw that he was flying in front of my eyes, and he fell heavily to the ground, a little blank for a while, and when he reacted, he only saw the blood flowing from the corner of the little Taoist's mouth, and he grabbed the antlers with great difficulty, and let me go. At this moment, my eyes were a little moist, and I thought: How can I be a confiscated streamer, and I will meet someone who will not want to die for me in this era!
At this time, the elk was obviously impatient, it kept shaking its head, I saw the little Taoist priest grasping it with both hands, his body was thrown around, and in the end he was really tossed and choked, and sprayed two mouthfuls of blood. And his hand slowly loosened and loosened...... Seeing this, the elk raised its front hooves.
In the flash of light, I don't know where I got the courage, I shouted, raised the gun with both hands, pulled the trigger, and with a meager puff of smoke came out, the elk screamed, its ears were smashed by the gun, and it began to scurry around. I secretly cursed my marksmanship, but maybe it was my own impression of the elk that I didn't consciously show mercy when I started.
At this time, taking advantage of its unbearable pain and not in the mood to take care of us, I avoided it, quickly ran to the little Taoist priest, and pulled him behind the tree.
I saw that he could still scream, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and teased: "Brother Bao, okay, even my waist has been stabbed at this time, can I still run?"
Baocai lay on the ground, snorted, and said in a loud voice: "The ass is open, brother, I am still insisting!" After speaking, he struggled to get up with the tree trunk, I looked at his thin monkey body, how straight he couldn't straighten, I couldn't help laughing.
He gave me a blank look, and said that I could still fall into the well at this time, so I asked him not to pretend, and go to the mountain stream first, and I and the little Taoist priest will arrive later. He didn't agree, but when I said he was slow and a drag on us, he was unhappy to go ahead of us.
I watched his figure disappear into the darkness, and my heart ached, because the wound I had been bitten by the Gu worm at this time was painful.
Looking at the seriously injured little Taoist priest, he kept covering his chest, thinking that he was pushed to the heart by the antlers, I asked him to hold on, he nodded, and picked up the bicycle lamp on the ground.
To be honest, I admired him very much, and if I had just been tossed so much, I would have passed out.
At this time, the person hiding in the darkness finally appeared, it was the Miao witch, who stared at us angrily, as if she wanted to avenge the deer.
I saw that she was a woman, and I didn't want to entangle with her more, but she suddenly took out a thin tube from the cuff, I didn't feel good, just now I was hit by this girl's trick, this thought, I hugged the little Taoist priest and hurriedly lowered his body, and the silver needle flew out and shot directly on the tree.
I exhaled, thinking that there was no danger, but when my gaze swept to the back of my hand, my heart instantly froze. My left hand turned purple-black, and it spread just like the wound on my right arm!
My heart says, What a wicked woman. Without thinking much about it, the witch suddenly showed a look of pity, she whistled, and the wounded elk suddenly fell silent and ran obediently to her.
Looking at her calm and calm appearance, I think she must have felt that we were going to die, so she was not in a hurry to kill us. But I was wrong, and after she calmed the elk, I heard a "clucking" sound......
As soon as I heard this, my hairs stood on end again, and I thought: Oh no! Do you really have to die here today? No! I immediately rejected this pessimistic idea, even if it was death, I would have to die a heroic death, I saw that the woman raised her eyes, stared at us with a smirk, and without thinking about it, she stumbled and ran with the little Taoist priest in the direction where the water source was.
At this moment, we were running very slowly, and those Gu worms were not flying as fast as they used to be because of their bloodthirstiness. And besides them, there is also the elusive shrine maiden. Because the little Taoist priest would look at the pursuit from time to time, the light of the bicycle lamp could see the witch's strange face, and her facial features were particularly deep and terrifying in the white light. After a while, the woman suddenly disappeared, leaving only a deep and strange shadow. This scene reminds me of the Japanese horror movie Sadako from the TV, and I think if the little Taoist priest takes pictures now, she may be behind us.
The sound of the water was not far away, like a mountain stream with a small waterfall, we were excited in fear, thinking that we could finally get rid of it, but when we turned back, in addition to the face of the witch in the cold white light and shadow, there were also the six strange-faced people who were all worm-eyed, I don't know how these people managed to be silent, and how they caught up with us, but then I thought, this is a place they are familiar with, we are here, only death!
They were only three or four meters away from us, and those Gu worms surrounded them, like a group of demons and monsters, I was terrified to the extreme, and I felt the skin of my whole body twisted together.
I thought desperately: I can't escape...... Just when I was physically and mentally exhausted and fragile, the sharp blade cut through the flesh of my cervical spine, I screamed, and when I looked back, the pale and disgusting face was facing me, and so was the little Taoist...... He was pounced. The bicycle lights landed with us, and the gravedigger behind me hit my back, and I screamed in pain. At this moment I could clearly see the eyes of the strange-faced man, he was cloudy, and in him, I smelled a strange smell, a strange smell of déjà vu......
At this time, it was either death or desperate, and when the strange-faced man held the knife with the wrong gold pattern and aimed it at the center of my eyebrows, I carefully groped for the Mongolian knife at my waist, because the Mongolian knife scabbard was made of the finest leather, so when I pulled it out, there was almost no sound. And the strange-faced man didn't kill me immediately, he muttered as if he were performing a ritual.
I suppressed my breath and prepared for my next step, and when those cloudy eyes suddenly became ferocious, I was so fierce that I aimed the Mongolian knife in my hand at his waist. This feeling of blood boiling made me tremble, and I watched him scream, covering his wounds, stumbling, and immediately got up and used his body to knock away the strange-faced man on the little Taoist.
The plot was reversed for a while, I took advantage of their lack of reaction, and quickly pounced on the shrine maiden, she screamed, I locked her throat, and put the Mongolian knife on her neck, she struggled a few times, I yelled at her to stop, and she was silent.
After stabilizing the shrine maiden, I said to the strange-faced man in standard Mandarin, "Get out of the way...... Otherwise I'll kill her!"
As I said this, I pressed the blade of my Mongolian sword against the witch's throat, in fact, I never thought that one day I would catch a woman as my shield, but I couldn't help it, in this situation, it is better to be shameless than to die.
I could feel the witch's throat sliding nervously, and at this time, the Gu worms returned to the Gu keeper one by one. But the strange thing is that after the six of them discussed a few words, they did not retreat, but slowly approached us with a disturbing ferocity.
I didn't know what was going on, so I stepped back with the shrine maiden and warned, "Stop! do you want her to die?"
But I believe in my bet, and I believe in the position of the shrine maiden in this group of Miao people. But for some reason, they didn't stop, and I was a little apprehensive, when the shrine maiden suddenly said something to the gang, and her tone was a little excited.
I don't know why, is she saying, "Kill me, and then kill these people?" My heart tightened, and I thought, if that's the case, then this woman is too strong.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a dark smile on the corners of the weird-faced men's mouths. I thought to myself: What's the situation?
