Chapter 21: The Shadow Raid (End)
"Damn!" Bei Ji burst into tears, looked around at the dark woods around him, and angrily shook away the black smoke that lingered in front of him.
Black smoke faintly converged on the palm of Bei Ji's hand as he waved his arms.
The subtle changes in the body obviously did not escape Bei Ji's notice, and in confusion, Bei Ji projected his attention to the storage space.
I saw a cloud of black gas hovering inside, and it gradually became rich with the weak suction of Beiji's palm.
A line of black handwriting emerges:
[Dark stream poisonous gas: the gas is impure and mixed with impurities]
"It's ......"
Looking at this row of words, Bei Ji felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, puzzled for a while, as if he thought about it, and wanted to look at the poison gas bottle on the side, and suddenly a big hand slapped on his right shoulder.
Touched, Bei Ji subconsciously urged his essence to turn over his hand and grab, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Heng Lao.
"Heng Lao ......" Bei Ji hurriedly let go of his hands.
Heng Lao had a cold face and frosty eyebrows, and directly skipped Bei Ji's reaction: "What happened in the village?" ”
Bei Ji looked at the destroyed villages around him, and his expression was dry: "We have been attacked by dozens of black-clothed figures......"
"The Man in Black for the Raid...... Just escaped. ”
Relieving from his grief and indignation, Bei Ji hurriedly said: "Elder Heng pay attention to your breathing, this black smoke is poisonous gas!" It's the same way that half a month ago, the villagers went up the mountain to dig ore and inadvertently inhaled it! ”
Bei Ji stretched out his palms, gushing out a suction, and sucked all the black stream poisonous gas into the storage space in a panic, just now, he had determined that this familiar feeling was the unknown poisonous gas that was extracted from the treatment of the villagers half a month ago. At the same time, Heng Lao was awakened by a word, and his thoughts seemed to be connected.
Turning his head, a charred black corpse that had been repeatedly crushed by the Red Demon Bead came into Heng Lao's eyes, and he stepped forward quickly, only to see that next to the corpse, a dagger flashed white light in Heng Lao's eyes, which was extremely conspicuous.
Heng Lao's body suddenly flashed with a moment of golden light, and the naked eye couldn't detect any movement of Heng Lao, and the dagger next to the corpse was held in Heng Lao's palm.
The fingertips are slowly flipped, and a clear 'Dao' character is engraved in the center of the handle.
"Gloomy Dao ......," Heng Lao muttered.
After absorbing the black stream poisonous gas, Bei Ji compacted to Heng Lao, looked at Heng Lao, who was staring at the dagger in a dagger, and stopped talking, casting his gaze on the corpse on the ground that was scorched by fire.
Slowly squatting down, Bei Ji used a branch to remove the corpse, and a pale yellow rock unexpectedly appeared in a piece of sand, Bei Ji reached out and picked it up, and held it in his palm with his five fingers closed for a long time......
At this time, Lao Zhang, who was still evacuating for the villagers, noticed Heng Lao who appeared at the end of the village, and hurriedly threw away the pickaxe on his shoulder and ran all the way through the ravine.
"Village Chief, where have you been? If it's too late, half the village will be gone! ”
Elder Heng was still staring at the dagger in his hand and did not reply.
"Uncle Heng!!" Lao Zhang couldn't help but accentuate his tone a little.
Bypassing Lao Zhang who was blocking in front of him, Heng Lao didn't say a word, and walked away silently, and the embarrassed and panicked appearance of the villagers on the side of the road under the miserable white moonlight fell into Heng Lao's eyes one by one.
Bei Ji looked at the back of the abnormal Heng Lao lightly, shook his head bitterly, and seemed to empathize with Heng Lao's bitter state of mind: "If it was in the past, Heng Lao should have been fighting with Uncle Zhang......"
On weekdays, when he gets along with Heng Lao, he usually scolds and scolds, but he handles serious affairs but can be sharp and unique, showing his old scheming and deep thinking as the village head.
But like tonight...... But it's the first time I've seen it.
"Grandpa went to the mountain forest where everyone was poisoned by mining that day, and these days, every late at night, he will go," Yu asked at some point when he came to the two of them.
Bei Ji's movements paused slightly, and he was slightly surprised: "Go to find the traces left by the murderer who released the poison?" ”
Yuwen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, Lao Zhang sighed, looked at the back of Heng Lao, who had already walked away, hesitated, and finally chose to follow.
The thatched huts on both sides of the road are crooked, and there will not be a villager in the gravel village at this time who is asleep, and everyone is doing outdoor alienation, because the thatched huts close to the battlefield have collapsed, and the sandstone village tonight is destined to be sleepless.
Bei Ji squatted there quietly and observed the situation of the sand and gravel village for a long time, two wide and long ravines cut the original sand and gravel road obliquely, and the villagers who had completely evacuated the huts gathered on this broken road, some were injured, some were sobbing, and some were holding their children with empty eyes and no trace of expression on their faces.
Bei Ji tilted his head to Yuwen, who had been standing next to him and had never left, and said lightly: "The healing essence technique that has been learned through penance has already had a place where it needs to be used...... Go ahead, they need you now. ”
When Yu Wen heard this, his face was embarrassed: "I ...... I've only treated crabs, not people......"
Speaking of the back, Yuwen looked ashamed, and his voice was lowered a lot.
"Let you treat river crabs, I arranged it, let you treat people, it's also my arrangement," Bei Ji put his right hand on Yu Wen's shoulder: "You can successfully treat river crabs, and you can also successfully treat people." ”
Yu Wen glanced up at Bei Ji, still hesitating about something, but Bei Ji didn't care so much, and pushed it out: "Think about the purpose of your penance cultivation and healing refinement!" ”
After being pushed out a few steps and standing in place for a pause, gritting his teeth, Yu Wen resolutely walked towards the injured people, and bravely opened the first mouth: "Uncle...... Uncle, I'll restore the Essence Technique, let me help you heal! ”
Bei Ji smiled with satisfaction at this scene, and after a while, he lowered his head and rubbed the small rock in his palm, and when the rock lit up with a pale yellow light again, Bei Ji walked slowly towards the place where the answer was.
......
Dozens of miles away from the gravel village, there is a dead and silent pitch-black forest.
Dozens of black-clothed figures converged from several directions, and at the center of the convergence, a blue-black spatial crack was torn out of thin air, and a black-robed figure with blue-black essence ripples on his face stepped out of it.
As soon as the black-robed figure appeared, a figure among the black-clothed people immediately stepped forward: "There are powerful people in this broken village in the deep mountains and mountains, why don't you tell me in advance?" ”
"Now that one of our brothers is dead, how will the remuneration be paid?!"
However, as soon as the anger in the black-robed man's words was poured out, an undodgable palm instantly poked out of the black-robed figure's sleeve, pinched the black-robed man's head and lifted it up.
The black-robed figure ignored the movements of dozens of people around him, and picked up the black-clothed man with one arm as if he were carrying a poultry.
"What I wanted, you didn't give it to me, and you dare to ask me for payment?"
The black-robed figure with a threatening voice came into the ears of the black-clothed man, and through his fingers, the black-clothed man stared closely at the terrifying face with blue-black ripples in front of him, and grabbed the thick arm with both hands and struggled desperately.
"Put people down!" The black-clothed crowd took a step closer to the black-robed man with daggers and issued a warning.
Indifferently glanced at the surrounding crowd, the black-robed figure snorted coldly, threw the black-clothed man in his hand casually, and then ignored the reaction of the black-clothed people around him, turned around and tore open a spatial crack, burrowed into it and disappeared.
"Patriarch!" A group of black-clothed men surrounded him and helped up the figure of the 'patriarch': "What are we going to do now?" ”
The man in black who was called the patriarch covered his bleeding head, his eyes were resentful, and then he lifted the dagger on his waist and slammed it into the ground like crazy, and after venting his anger, he yelled: "Back to the dark road!" ”
After speaking, the black-clothed men did not stop any longer, picked up the patriarch and surrounded him in the middle, and sneaked towards the depths of the woods with strange walking steps.
