336. The Strange Hero of the Mask
When they arrived at the place where the two of them found the "monster", the steep side wall was already empty! Shinobi, who first discovered the situation, swooped down on the edge of the cliff and looked around nervously.
"Right here?" I asked in a low voice, subconsciously pulling the short rifle behind my back into my hand, habitually looking at the good bullets, and my heart suddenly settled.
"Yes! Yes! Ringleader! Nashinobu replied with a stammer.
I nodded, and glanced back at the Nine Ghosts Masataka. This young but very stable and experienced subordinate immediately understood what I meant, and came to the edge of the cliff with an arrow, slowly crouched down, and looked down intently.
After a while, the Nine Ghosts Masataka raised his head and gestured in the direction of me. As soon as I waved, the elite around me immediately followed me and chased after the nine ghosts and Zhengxiao towards the north of the canyon.
While running, I asked the Nine Ghosts Masaki in a soft voice: "Are you sure?" What is it? ”
Nine Ghost Zhengxiao nodded and said softly: "Sure!" Should...... It's people! ”
He didn't answer very firmly, but he should have his own judgment. I glanced at the steep side wall, consciously or unconsciously, and muttered to myself as well.
Can humans really walk on such cliffs?
Actually, instinctively, I don't want to believe this, but as a realistic idealist, I don't want to focus too much on judging right and wrong, but rather on how to solve problems.
The trail ended fifteen minutes later, and we were facing the very edge of the sentry point, with two sentries on duty.
According to the existing personnel, such an expatriate outpost is a combination of a shinobi and a miner, which is also the most sustainable and realistic way to match.
The outpost was located on a rocky hill fifteen meters high, a small wooden shack with a stacked rope ladder coiled next to it.
This sentry point was cleverly conceived, and after the first collaborative ascent to the top of the rocky mountain, a stronghold was established and a rope ladder was erected. After that, every time the guard is changed, the people above throw the rope ladder down, the people below climb up, and after the people above climb down, the rope ladder is taken back from above.
In this way, the security of the above is basically ensured, or rather, the realization of the tactical value of the sentry point.
If you want to attack such a sentry point, you must use long-range shooting weapons such as guns and crossbows, and the people above will have plenty of opportunities to use their guns to return fire!
And in this way, whether the person above is alive or dead, the alarm information will be transmitted back to the center through the gunfire - whether it is the enemy or our gunfire, the effect is the same.
But all this is based on the premise that the other party is human, or rather, normal human beings. But under my wolf-like gaze, the black shadow that was climbing up the rocks that were almost straight up and down was really a human?
I saw that the tall black shadow was like a gecko, quietly crawling up along the flat rocks, his body was tightly pressed against the wall, his left hand and right foot, left foot and right hand, alternately climbing upward.
He's not too fast, but he's extremely quiet! It was as if his hands and feet were really like geckos, with soft suction cups, both in movement and sound.
Should I watch him climb up, or should I stop him now? I looked at the climbing figure, remembered the miners who had died or disappeared, and finally made up my mind!
Just as the black shadow climbed to the top of the rocky mountain with one hand, he heard a loud "bang"! In the darkness, a fast-flying bullet was striking less than two inches to his left!
The splashed debris immediately splattered in all directions! hit the black shadow, the guy was surprised, immediately let go of his hands, kicked his legs, and jumped down the rocky mountain with a backflip! After landing steadily, immediately make a momentum to run!
I raised my musket again and shouted, "Stop! Don't force me to shoot! ”
Judging by the way he jumped, there was no doubt that he must be a human, and although he was obviously stronger and more powerful than a normal human, as long as he was a human, he would definitely not be able to outrun the musket in my hand!
Obviously, this dark shadow knew the power of the musket, and when he felt the nearly ten muzzles of the gun pointed at him, he immediately dispelled the idea of running away and held his foot. As for what he was thinking, I don't know.
But looking at his arm, which was clearly gathering strength, I knew that he had no peace in mind. So I shouted again, "Who are you?" Why attack us! ”
The Nine Ghosts and the others lit torches, surrounded the tall figure in the middle, and quietly waited for him to answer.
The black shadow seemed to think about it, and then slowly turned around! I saw that he was more than two meters tall, with layers of muscles all over his body, and his feet were barefoot. The upper body is dressed in a strange dark red shirt with a strange mask, and the area without a mask and clothes is depicted with very scary tattoos!
The tattoo seemed to be a totem, like some animal or plant, and it looked very scary in the flickering firelight!
And what is even more amazing is the huge knife that he is slowly pulling out from behind at the moment, which is almost about one meter five or six long!
Just like the huge knife of the execution guillotine in the movie, it was as light as nothing in his hand, and it was almost weightless across his chest!
I heard the tall strange man say in a very strange voice, "Do you think I will be afraid of that strange demonic stick in your hand?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw him kick his legs! The whole person soared into the air, and after a few crisp gunshots, rolled and pounced in my direction!
Most of the bullets that were fired in a hurry were close to his body, but the two shots of me and the hot shot went straight to his body with precision!
I saw this guy raise his knife in the air, only to hear the sound of "dang", one bullet was blocked, and the other bullet hit him without hindrance!
The imaginary blood splattered without appearing, and a strange totem-like pattern lit up where he was shot, and the bullet bounced away!
Ooh! It's so bullish that you're not even afraid of bullets? Although his body was stunned by this bullet, he still rushed towards me!
He's a master! The best at it! At least his strength is definitely above mine! But so what, first, I'm not alone; Second, even if I am alone, I may not be without a hard work!
Quickly throwing down the musket, I immediately picked up the boy cut and quickly put on a starting hand of Juhe Chop!
And the huge wind pressure he threw on almost made me feel out of breath! I knew that an ordinary slash would never be able to withstand his earth-shattering blow! So when I started, I used a special move - Flash!
The scene at this time is tedious, but in fact it is just a few breaths of effort! Just as his hovering body flew three meters in front of me, I let out a loud shout, and my right hand drew a perfect arc, slashing towards the strange man with a sword light like a star!
"Click!" The strange man flying in the sky quickly stabbed me like a thunderbolt! That knife looked very ferocious, and I picked it up hard at the same time, but I inadvertently picked a gap!
His knife is really lightweight, so the power of my knife is completely empty! It felt uncomfortable as if he kicked in the air with all his strength, and it was uncomfortable all over his body!
But I know that I must not retreat at this time, and I am responsible for the traction of the qi machine, I am afraid that what he is about to roll up is a fierce move like a tsunami!
Ma Wei and Nine Ghost Masataka next to him immediately raised their knives and slashed at his left and right, but this strange man kicked in the air and separated the two of them one after another!
And this also reveals a rare gap since the war! Seeing his body leaning back, I instantly felt like a blessing, rushed forward a few steps quickly, used his left foot hard, and his body flew into the air, slashing out from top to bottom with the help of the twist of his body!
The knife barely brought out any breath, but it was swift and like a match! It can be said that the power of this knife far exceeds my real strength, and it should be the huge pressure that made me exert my hidden potential before I slashed this thunderous knife!
The strange man was in the air, and when he felt the knife momentum, he let out a surprised "huh", and he also knew that this knife could not be hard-connected, so he could only use the huge chopping knife to hit my boy from the side!
"Click!" There was another crisp sound, and the knife momentum was pushed to the side, but the sharp knife qi still cut a hole under his left rib that was not too deep or shallow!
He's finally landed! And I rushed forward again, using the inertia of my body to slash out three times horizontally! These three knives are three consecutive "flashes"! When I was desperate, I once again exceeded my upper limit and slashed straight at the upper, middle and lower three ways of the weirdo in three directions!
The strange man knows that if he continues to fight like this, he is afraid that the result will be unpredictable, and the people on both sides have already raised their guns to aim at themselves! I heard him scream, and he pulled something from his body and slammed it at me!
The small thing flew towards me with a sharp and whistling wind, and one of my three slashes was slashing horizontally at it, making a muffled "poof" sound!
It's a skull! I resisted this sneak attack, but I also stopped the momentum, and I had to retract the boy cut that I had chopped!
And the weirdo is now fit and pounced! He moved in a strange posture, rushing at me in a posture that seemed to be half-crouching, and the speed was also extremely fast! Rush in front of me in no moment!
The people around me were afraid of hurting me, so they didn't dare to shoot at all! I gritted my teeth and once again put on a starting pose, ready to fight hard!
Unexpectedly, when the strange man rushed to five meters in front of me, he suddenly stood firmly in a high-speed rush as if he had taken root under his feet, and asked a question: "Who is your master?" ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, this guy spoke in a strange tone, but he asked about my master. Naturally, I knew that he was asking about the master of the Iai slash that I was using. Without waiting for me to answer, he continued with a very strange emphasis: "Isn't it Mr. Hayashizaki Shisuke? ”
I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I heard this, how could this guy guess at once? But when he saw that he hung the knife back on his back, he spoke again: "Then you must also be a swordsman from the East, surnamed Sun, right?" ”
When I saw what he said, I put my sword back into its sheath and replied in a loud voice, "As you say." But I want to know, how do you know? ”
The strange man laughed a few times before continuing, "I have traveled far and wide, and I met Mr. Hayashizaki Shisuke not long ago! He's also traveling the world, looking for breakthroughs! ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the ground and touched the wound that had just been cut open by me with his hand. I thought about it, and since he said that Hayashi Qi was not hostile after he mentioned it, it meant that he was a friend and not an enemy, so he took out a small bag from the backpack behind him and threw it over.
"This is the best wound medicine, you can use it!" I said aloud.
The strange man took the package, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then smiled strangely: "The taste comes from the East, I can't get used to it!" So saying, he took a small bottle from his waist, poured out some green things, applied them to the wound, and paid no more attention to them.
Raising his head, he suddenly asked me with an ugly expression, "Since you are a disciple of Mr. Hayashi Qisuke, why did you come here to attack our people and rob us of our wealth?" ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but look at the nine ghosts around me, Mawei and others, and they didn't know the essentials and shook their heads at me.
I had no choice but to ask, "I wonder when you are talking about this?" I don't know. ”
As I spoke, I continued to ask, "I am indeed surnamed Sun, but I am a disciple of Hayashi Qi Shisuke. I don't know what your Excellency is called! ”
The strange man sat there and made a movement around his neck, making a "click" crunching sound, but he smiled strangely and said, "My name is Tamu Tamu." ”
Tamu Tamu? The name seems to have been heard somewhere. I remembered it when my mind was racing!
Isn't this strange man in front of me the brother of Chamcham, the Indian friend I made since I came to North America? I didn't expect it to be him!
