Chapter 458: Don't Look Back
Before leaving, Bai Zimo emphasized to Zhou Xiaolong that he should not look back, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, how could he rest assured if he didn't look back.
So Zhou Xiaolong was also very smart, and by bowing his head to tie his shoelaces, he saw the two legs not far behind him.
Is that a human, a ghost, or a zombie?!
Zhou Xiaolong gritted his teeth and stood up softly, thinking to himself, no matter what it was, it was not a good thing after all, and he must bring it back and work with his uncle to destroy it together.
After making up his mind, Zhou Xiaolong discerned the direction, headed towards the way he came, and returned the same way.
Zhou Xiaolong was very careful, and as he walked, he felt the movement behind him intently.
The thing and Zhou Xiaolong landed at the same time, and every time they walked, the sound of stomping on the front and back would overlap.
Zhou Xiaolong wanted to know what it was, but he could only hold back his fear and curiosity and dare not look back.
No one knows how uncomfortable it feels?!
The strong sense of oppression and fear coming from behind, as well as the feeling of being followed and peeped at, tortured Zhou Xiaolong to the point that he would collapse at any time.
Not long after leaving, Zhou Xiaolong's clothes were all soaked with cold sweat.
It was the second half of the night, it was windy and cold in the wild, and those wet clothes stuck to the body, like ice cubes, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the thing in the back was relatively quiet, and there had been no abnormal behavior, just following Zhou Xiaolong, his tense nerves eased a little, and he knew in his heart that this must be the effect of the four soul-attracting incense sticks in his hand.
Finally, the small tree that had been blown down by the wind appeared in front of me, and it was only necessary to walk another half mile to reach the old house.
Half a mile is not long, and of course it doesn't take much time to walk on flat ground, but at this moment, not only is it dark, but the road surface is not easy to walk, and there is no road under your feet at all, so it is relatively slow to walk.
Zhou Xiaolong slowed his breathing, carefully turned a corner, and walked onto the path next to the tree, at the same time, he felt that his neck was already stiff.
Looking into the distance, you can only see patches of small trees, blocking the view, and you can't see the old mansion at all.
Not long after walking along a muddy path, a sewer appeared, and the sewage in it had long since dried up and was covered with leaves.
There were some wooden planks on the sewer, even if it was a bridge, just after walking on the bridge, Zhou Xiaolong inadvertently kicked a stone, and the stone fell into the stinky ditch below.
In the silence, the voice sounded like a thunderbolt, and Zhou Xiaolong's nerves tensed for a while.
Cold sweat flowed down his face, Zhou Xiaolong had to wipe the cold sweat with the back of his hand, hurriedly stopped and listened, and the thing behind him seemed to have stopped.
For a while, Zhou Xiaolong didn't dare to move, but there was nothing unusual behind him......
However, when Zhou Xiaolong continued to walk forward, the situation seemed to be a little wrong?!
The sound that overlapped with Zhou Xiaolong's footsteps disappeared, and now all he could hear seemed to be his own footsteps.
Oops, that thing can't be running away???!!!
Zhou Xiaolong didn't dare to look back, he just froze like that, not knowing what the situation was now, what should he do?!
The eyes subconsciously looked down and looked at it, looking at it like this, it was amazing, the four soul-attracting incense sticks held in his hand, two of them were actually extinguished when he wiped his sweat just now, and Zhou Xiaolong's heart sank.
Now, I can only gamble!
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Xiaolong turned his head sharply, however, the road behind him was empty and there was nothing.
Hey, what about that thing?!
Zhou Xiaolong looked around suspiciously, but all he saw was the winding muddy path and the weeds on both sides.
However, when Zhou Xiaolong looked back, he saw a scene that made him have nightmares for a long time.
Not far away, I saw a crooked monster standing about three meters away from Zhou Xiaolong.
It was a person, more like a python, and the skin on his body had rotted away.
The thing stretched out from the waist up, the spine stretched out, separating the upper body from the lower body, the upper body stretched far forward, a head swinging from side to side, the neck was raised high, and the upper body was swinging back and forth from side to side, like a cobra ready to attack!!
Zhou Xiaolong screamed strangely, but he didn't dare to move, and cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down his back.
Seeing the strange appearance of this thing in front of him, a thought flashed through Zhou Xiaolong's mind, could it be that the vertebrae on this person's body had been seriously deformed before he was put into the water tank?!
Now, what to do?!
Now in this situation, let alone bring it back, whether Zhou Xiaolong can get out is a big question?!
Zhou Xiaolong wanted to take a step back, but as soon as he stretched out a leg, the thing seemed to sense something, and with a snort, it pounced on Zhou Xiaolong's front door.
Zhou Xiaolong only felt a yin wind hitting his face, and what he smelled in his nose was also a fishy smell, which was very strong and disgusting.
Frightened, Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly retreated, but the other party's speed was extremely fast, and the head of the thing hit Zhou Xiaolong's chest, and Zhou Xiaolong almost didn't come up in one breath.
It is no exaggeration to say that the speed of the thing's dodge is faster than lightning, Zhou Xiaolong's eyes flickered, and he only felt that the evil wind was not good, and the thing rushed towards Zhou Xiaolong again......
Just when Zhou Xiaolong was at a loss, he heard an earth-shattering roar, and the thing was so frightened that it stopped attacking.
I saw a chubby black shadow, and rushed towards the thing, and the speed was not inferior to the speed of the monster.
A handful of glutinous rice fell from the sky and sprinkled it on the body of the thing, and it entered the flesh one by one.
For a moment, puffs of black smoke rose from the monster's skin.
The thing was in a lot of pain at this moment, and it let out a whining roar, rolled over, crossed the stinking ditch, and after a few ups and downs, the figure disappeared into the grove.
Zhou Xiaolong wiped a handful of cold sweat before he came to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw that Bai Zimo was hovering in midair.
"Xiaolong, are you okay, didn't the deity say that he wouldn't let you look back?!" Bai Zimo lowered his head and asked.
"Uncle Shi, the incense of the soul-attracting incense has been extinguished, ......" Zhou Xiaolong raised the four soul-attracting incense, and now, the four incense sticks have been extinguished.
"I see, in fact, that monster looks very disgusting, and its skills are not great, if the soul-attracting incense is not extinguished, it will definitely not be able to run, alas, maybe it ......" Bai Zimo wanted to speak and stopped.
"Then now it's gone, uncle, what should I do?!!" Zhou Xiaolong looked at the dark grove.
"Okay, okay, let's go back first, and wait until dawn!!" Bai Zimo spun around the top of Zhou Xiaolong's head, beckoning Zhou Xiaolong to go back to the old mansion first and think about it in the long run.
