Chapter 62: No wires
"Finally, I ask again, is it a good thing for you to raid the village and kill people and eat people?"
"Yo, do you want to ask the teacher about the crime?" The jackal raised his upper lip to show his teeth, and his voice became fierce, "Sure enough, inferior is inferior, and I don't measure myself." Sending it to the door is convenient for me to run all the way, and I have to go back and forth to get past those few mouthfuls of human flesh. Look, what kind of low-level goods are you still carrying......"
It was as if he had discovered some great joke, and the fox laughed wildly, like a jackal barking at night.
"What is this little thing, I said that there is a strange smell in that broken village, no one is not a demon, it looks delicate. This product is according to the rules, but it's the most cheap thing. Why don't I start with this? ”
Without warning, he lunged at him. It's as if everything is happening in the same second. As soon as Qi Huan's eyes broke, Ming Ming and Liu Shenghan were no longer in place, and Jun Aoyan's heavy Mo knife whistled by the wind, causing the jackal to scream. However, it did not fall into place, and in the direction of the jackal's dodge, Bai Ya's yin and yang twin knives were already waiting to meet him, and the jackal seemed to have crashed into the intersection of blades. When Qi Huan's eyes caught Liu Shenghan and Ming Ming who flashed out of the door, and then turned back, Bai Ya's knife was already on the neck of the jackal demon.
"As a word of caution, you can still speak because we still have something to ask you." He said coldly.
"Hey, hey, why bother with sabre-rattling, it's better to take a step back and sell me face."
Peaceful? has been standing by and watching, and only then did he speak unhurriedly at this time, as if watching a play.
"What are you?"
"Me? I'm just an outsider, I'm just living in this mansion temporarily, and I don't have to fight-for-tat. "Yan? The corners of his mouth were hooked, and his jet-black pupils locked Bai Ya faintly, "I am the messenger of Lord Python, and I am here for the bird god and stationed here." Although I am also an outsider, I am much more familiar with the territory of the Bird God than you. ”
Bai Ya didn't relax the blade in his hand, and only collided with him with his gaze.
"Tell me about it."
"You are both human beings, and I understand that you are at odds for a while. However, a place has a local rule. You're afraid you don't know, right? He asked knowingly, as if he was mocking them for pretending to be deaf and dumb, "Those villagers have killed a lot of monsters." Whoever openly attacks, sets a trap and kills him...... Once a monster falls into their hands, it will also be turned into soup and food, and sacrificed to the temple of the five organs. As for us, we never cared. After all, the law of the jungle eats the strong, this is our rule, and it is also the level set by Lord Bird God. Each has its own good and evil, and there is no good or bad, all of them are understandable. If you are new to this truth, I will teach it to you. ”
There was a cold frivolity in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the so-called rules and regulations that came out of his mouth also made people feel unreasonable. Qi Huan had a toothache when he heard this.
"No, dare to be clear, and take it for granted? What kind of god are you, and you do a lot of harm? ”
"You are human beings, so naturally you feel that you are harmful. And in the eyes of the bird god Garuda, all beings are equal, and there is no obligation to favor you. "Yan? Said lightly.
On the surface, this series of words is very pertinent and flawless, but several people instinctively feel that something is wrong, but they can't say it. Are these messengers of God so difficult?
They also have no intention of wrestling with youkai. Liu Shenghan squeezed into the room and shook his head lightly at Bai Ya, signaling him not to act rashly; He stepped forward and said calmly:
"We don't really understand the rules here, but it just so happens that we're here for the bird god. Since you are a messenger, please match us with the Bird God, and I think he can tell us more clearly what the rules are in his territory. ”
Peaceful? Rightly refused. At this time, he no longer said that he was familiar with this place, but deduced that he was only a messenger, and that only the gods had summoned him, but there was no reason for him to disturb the gods. Liu Shenghan was not in a hurry, and he was arguing with him there, but Bai Ya was impatient when he heard it, and the blade trembled and trembled. The jackal demon had long lost the arrogance of Fang Cai, and he was so frightened that his eyes were round and trembling. Probably unable to be frightened, he suddenly screamed, so startled that Bai Ya almost cut him: "Master, you should find a way for them, my temple is small, no matter how noisy you are, you can't turn the sky!" ”
Peaceful? Turning his face and squinting at him. After a while, he spoke again: "In this way, since the master of this place has some dissenting opinions, I don't want to bother here with you." I have a compromise that you don't have to talk about. ”
"Please elaborate."
"I am indeed an outsider, but in this mountain, I have a close friend. This friend, according to you humans, is probably a kind of earth spider. He has a high status here, and he is considered a nobleman among the people. In front of Lord Bird God, he can be considered to be able to speak. I can only introduce you to him, and the rest is more than force. ”
"In this case, I will ask you to lead the way." Liu Sheng was cold and salty, and he did not salute lightly.
In Yan? They left the Jackal's house. As soon as the front foot went out, the jackal's back foot buckled the door. The crisp "pop" is followed by a set of gongs, drums and firecrackers.
Bai Ya took the lead, Jun Aoyan pressed the tail, and Qi Huan and Liu Shenghan escorted Ming Ming in the middle. They still remember the Jackal's phrase "no man, no demon", and the tone of disdain when he spoke. Thinking about it, this kid is really half a monster, and in the eyes of the real monster, he is quite spurned, and he can't kill him soon.
The sun is gradually sinking in the west. Peaceful? Take care of yourself and lead the way, regardless of whether they can keep up or not. The group walked farther and farther, and the surroundings became more and more secluded. The heavy cloud of suspicion became heavier and heavier in Bai Ya's heart, and finally, he couldn't help but ask the back in front of him:
"How far do you have to go?"
"It's coming, it's coming."
Peaceful? Speaking unhurriedly, the speed under his feet is still the same. They were already suspicious, and they didn't know whether to say it or not. After thinking about it, there was no other way than to follow him. After a while, the sky was almost completely dark, and a few sparse stars combined with the moon shed a pitiful light. The road is already difficult to walk, and occasionally you have to stumble under your feet. Mingming's kid is very flexible, as if he was born in the night.
"How far is it?" Qi Huan is really a little tired. After all, just a few bites of food, how long can people last?
"You snake demon, don't try to play tricks."
Suddenly, Yan? Stopped, and stayed in place for a short while. When he turned around, he smiled at a few people. A pair of vertical pupils burst out with a sharp light under the cold night sky. At that moment, Bai Ya was finally convinced that they were afraid that they had been deceived.
"Forgive me."
Before anyone could react, his figure flickered, and he dissolved into the silence of the night.
It's still in the middle of the mountains, but it's colder than ever. The cool breeze was like coming out of the grave. They always had the illusion that behind them, there was some huge shadow passing over the mountains, rocks, grass and trees. But when I looked back, I couldn't see anything, only the endless darkness.
"Oh, have we been deceived?"
"You kid, you're so happy to be deceived." Jun Aoyan was a little helpless.
"There's nothing to panic about!" Ming Ming jumped around in circles, "I always feel like I'm at the end of the road, which is not good." I used to be scared, but I didn't need to think about it so much. As long as you calm down and calm down, there is nothing to be afraid of at all. ”
Qi Huan shook his head: "It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers......"
"Who said that I was involved in many hunts, many times!" Mingming stood in front of them, looking up proudly, as if waiting for praise, "I was praised by them as the smallest hunter. Really, I'm a veteran of all battles, and I've seen no less scenes than others. I'm telling you, I-"
Before Ming Ming could finish those words, she was suddenly dragged backwards. He seemed to have been grabbed by the collar by something, and was dragged far away in front of the four of them. Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan reacted quickly and immediately flew up. Unexpectedly, Jun Aoyan tripped on the flat ground before he ran a few steps. She screamed and scrambled to her feet, a small piece of her face scratched. Liu Shenghan hurriedly helped her up, and Bai Ya continued to chase. He reached out to pull Mingming, but he was still a little missed, so he jumped onto a nearby rock, and with a hard foot, he slightly overtook Mingming's position. At that moment, he saw a sign of a hook in the center of the fabric behind the little boy's back, as the clothes had been pulled out of a sharp horn in a very unnatural way.
Bai Ya slashed his backhand when he landed, and forcefully cut the invisible rope behind the invisible hook. Immediately afterward, he tripped over something and fell to the ground. He clearly felt something in his ankle, very strong, about the same as the rope that was holding Mingming. It's not so much a rope as a thread. It was thin and sturdy, and if he had run any faster, he would have been able to tear off his entire foot.
But now, there was a burning pain in his ankle. He looked down and lifted his trouser leg to take a look, and it was okay, but there was a blood stain, not very deep. It's just that this kind of pain is the most penetrating, and it hurts so much that it comes and goes on the nerve endings, itching. If it is not easy to heal, the slightest big movement will be torn apart immediately. It's terrible.
Ming Ming got up, and Bai Ya immediately patted him on the back, trying to find the position of the hook. But he didn't find anything.
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
"Hook, the one that pulls your clothes. If it doesn't fall out, I'm afraid I'll puncture the skin. ”
"But there's no hook." Ming Ming said, "I seem to be stuck to something. ”
The other three chased after them, and it didn't seem to be a line like that on the road, but that didn't mean there were no more traps.
Liu Sheng said coldly: "Are you all right?" The demonic aura here is very strong, and I am afraid that something is secretly ambushing. The enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. ”
"Yes, I see a lot of broken bones around here, I'm afraid many people have died here." Qi Huan gritted his teeth, "I think that snake demon is deliberately bad." Perhaps, whenever someone wants to see the bird god, they use this method to trick people into killing them. ”
Jun Aoyan looked around, and also saw the bones in the moonlight, glowing with faint phosphorescence.
"I'm afraid there are special monsters guarding here...... Let's not suffer the immediate loss, first-"
"Get out!"
Bai Ya suddenly roared loudly, shaking the leaves three times.
