In the hall of the city lord, the city lord and the envoy of Gamai sat carefully, and the city lord was about to take a cup of tea, and Jiamai said to him: "City Lord Zhao, why don't you stay here longer, and set off immediately." ”

The city lord was a little surprised, he put down his teacup, looked at Gamai, and said, "But, isn't the news from above that you are going to stay here for three days?"

Gamai looked at the city lord with a puzzled face, smiled, and replied, "City Lord Zhao, don't hide it, it's fake news from above. ”

"Fake news, why spread fake news?"

"Because there is one thing in the goods that is being transported this time that some people have taken a look at. ”

"Messenger of Gamai, you're referring to the Poor Strange Bone, right? ”

Gamai nodded, touched his beard and said: "It's true, this thing was originally not important, originally this thing was intended to be given to an artist to make bone carving, but who knew that soon after, he was killed, it was nailed to the wall by a flying steel bar, the steel bar did not directly pierce the heart, but there was a little deviation." ”

"The insertion was missed, and there was no fatal blow, was it a killer's mistake?"

"No, it's not like that, if the killer wants to kill him directly, there is enough time for him to make up for the fatal blow, but the actual result is that the artist died in such a posture for half an hour. ”

"The steel bar was stuck in the body for half an hour before he died!" the city lord was shocked when he thought of this, "The process is very painful, so the killer deliberately did this in order to torture the whereabouts of the poor bones, right?" ”

"Yes, when the intelligence bureau came to his house later, they found that the box in the corner, the box that originally contained the bones of the poor, was empty. ”

"In this way, it is lost. ”

"Well, in addition to this one thing, the poor bone tomb buried in the mountains and seas of Qingqiu Country was also hollowed out overnight, all kinds of signs about the poor strange bones, all of them are illustrating one thing, the poor strange bones hide secrets, but no one knows yet, although now, I don't know what kind of guys have taken a fancy to this poor strange bones, and I don't know what they want to do, but in general, it won't be a good thing. ”

"Messenger of Nagamai, have you opened it and seen the poor bones?"

"I've seen it, why haven't I seen it, I saw it when I loaded it, it's just some bones, nothing special. ”

"Are you sure you're looking closely?"

"I looked carefully, and I picked it up one by one and looked at it. ”

"That's right. The city lord was stunned for a moment, "Messenger of Gamai, it's not too early, you can go, I will send you to the city gate." ”

"The city lord is polite, thank you to the city lord. Gamai said enthusiastically, and he tapped the city lord's forehead with his nose, and then gave him another deep hug.

Immediately, the group packed the water bags and drove the camels to the south city gate, and after a few shouts, the team went on the road.

After the city lord waited for them to go out, the city gate was closed, and the scenery outside was estimated to be seen only by standing on the guard towers on both sides of the city gate, and the city lord was at this time, his thoughts were extremely confused, it was a self-evident feeling, this feeling, like an ominous premonition, he looked at the sky, and secretly thought in his heart: "I hope nothing happens." ”

The city lord sighed and went back with the soldiers who saw him off.

The caravan outside the city drove along the only path, not narrow or steep, a foot wide, and the road stretched to the horizon, ending in a deep mountain and dense forest.

At dusk, the caravan has entered the deep mountains, deep in the mountains, the setting sun shines from the slope, it will be the last light of the day, the treetops at this time, still golden yellow, but the forest will be dark in the next moment.

The next moment came, darkness covered the dense forest, and the surrounding was dead, and the moonlight could barely illuminate something, but it could not reach the depths of the dense forest.

The caravan lit torches for illumination, and suddenly, an arrow roared through the trees, and with a thud, shot down a man.

Suddenly, the people's hearts began to panic, the team became scattered, and the camels were also frightened, and they couldn't pull any one else.

Seeing this, Jiamai's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Guys, get rid of the guys!"

This shout, everyone calmed down a little, and everyone took off the earthen gun that was covered under the robe, which was left on the waist, this gun was brown wooden, single-barrel, with a large caliber, and there was a deviation between the barrel and the barrel.

They held their guns steady, pointing at the unknown darkness, in the darkness of the dense forest, there was a commotion, the wind swept by, the leaves rustled, and there was a burst of laughter in the forest, a voice: "You things are better put away, even if they can be sprayed, there is no power, your earth guns are much inferior to the technology of the people's machine Li Guo." ”

Laying down his arms in front of the enemy is called self-defeating and self-destruction, and Gamai knows this truth, and he holds the gun firmly.

"It seems that I don't understand people, I really don't like such people. ”

As soon as the words fell, ten wooden tentacles flew out of the darkness, fangs and claws, like a writhing snake body, quickly attacking people, everyone saw this scene, frightened pale, took the gun and fired indiscriminately, the bullet hit the forest, the muzzle of the gun spewed out flames to illuminate the forest clearly, flashing under the light, faintly visible, a thick wooden wall exposed Ji Mu's face, his palms, are the roots of those tentacles, all the tentacles are growing from his hands.

When the tentacle touched the man, he pinched out his neck, lifted it high, strangled the man to death, and regenerated a branch and tied it to the tree, and it was not long before the dense forest was full of corpses.

Gamai watched people die one by one, and couldn't help but start crying, those were his very good friends, but at this moment, they were all dead, he held the gun, shot all the bullets, and finally, a tentacle grabbed his neck, he quickly grabbed the rope on the camel behind him, rummaging for something in the cargo on the camel's back, the tentacle lifted it hard, he flew, but at this time, he already got what he wanted in his hand, it was a stick-shaped paper tube, with a lead at the tail, his consciousness began to blur, just before his consciousness relaxed, he held the thing high, pulled down the lead, and with a roar, a cluster of fireworks flew towards the sky, and bloomed brilliantly in the empty night, bright, transparent and clear, is a flower of life.
