Chapter 5: The Hunting of Humans
"Your dad?" The fire of Gossip burned brightly.
"Hmm."
"Your dad? How did you find the tomb with your dad? β
"My dad was a veteran, and after he was discharged from the army, he returned to his hometown to become a production team leader. He was originally an iron-blooded man, and he never believed in feudal superstition......"
"And then, then what?"
"I was born when the moon was cloudy and cloudy, and I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I can't get off the ground, so I have been lying in bed for a long time. Later, when I was three years old, an old Chinese medicine practitioner who had been a Taoist priest passed by our house, turned a bowl of white rice, and gave me a jade pendant, saying that my body needed to absorb the excess yin qi with some ancient monks or Taoist magic weapons. β
"Oh God, that's amazing...... And after that? Xu Nuoyi sighed, a day ago, she would definitely not believe in these messes, but the bizarre experience of this time made her believe it a little.
"My dad didn't believe it, but since I got the jade pendant, my body has been getting better day by day, and I was able to walk down the ground after three months...... I still remember my mom crying one night after my dad disappeared, remembering that my dad was an iron man who never shed tears, and he watched me walk with tears streaming down his face. Hu Tianhong continued.
"Then why is your dad ...... Missing? β
"Not long after I went to the ground, that piece of peiyu was broken, according to Lao Dao's message at the time, it was because of the slow absorption of yin qi, and I needed to change to a new magic weapon."
And so...... From then on, my dad began to look for Dharma weapons all over the country, for one year, three years, five years...... My dad studied antiques, studied Taoist scriptures, and ran all over the antique market all over the country, and became famous in the industry, and also found him a few magic weapons, but that was not enough......"
"My body is recovering day by day, but it is still not as good as a normal child. Later, my dad accidentally bought several artifacts from a group of tomb robbers, and found out from their mouths that these artifacts were from ancient tombs. So he began to search for the grave again. β
"You mean dad started robbing tombs for you?" Xu Nuoyi was surprised.
"It's not exactly a tomb robbery, my dad will notify the local government every time he finds an ancient tomb, but before that, he will first look for any magic weapons."
Hu Tian explained: "Ten years later, my body has gradually recovered, and I can now take physical education classes in school like ordinary children. But my father's hair turned gray early, and he seemed to be thirty years older. Mom said that this was caused by the heavy yin qi of some cemeteries......"
Hu Tian's eyes turned red again as he spoke: "Just when I was almost completely healthy, on the day I was thirteen years old, my father got a piece of information and hurried out again. Before going out, he told my mother that this was the next time, and that he would prepare a spare magic weapon for me just in case. And then, he never came back......"
"That's right...... So you're looking for your dad everywhere? β
"Well, I searched for five years before I found the descendant of the guy who gave me my dad's information, saying that the last place where my dad and they appeared was in Hengdian, Zhejiang, and I also managed to find this ancient tomb, which should be where my dad disappeared."
"I see, maybe your dad was also teleported to this place?"
Xu Nuoyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Classmate Hu Tian, Jiren has his own natural appearance, you must cheer up!" Don't worry, I'll help you find your father! Leave this kind of trivial matter to me! I'm a superstar with 8 million followers! β
ββ¦β¦β
Hu Tian looked at her serious appearance, and a trace of an ugly smile appeared on his face.
The rain gradually subsided and the sky began to brighten.
β¦β¦
Xu Nuoyi sighed and slowly woke up from his sleep. In her dreams, she dreamed of a lewd uncle with a beard who ran after her, and he still had a whip in his hand, and he chased after him and whipped at the same time.
"Whew...... It's scared to death! It's dangerous, it's dangerous, but fortunately, it's a nightmare......"
Xu Nuoyi exhaled and found that he was covered with a coat with several tears, which was obviously Hu Tian.
"This dead end, if he is so good to me, then I can make an exception to admit him as my fan!"
Rising from the hay bunk, the campfire was completely extinguished, leaving only a pile of black char. The cave was deserted, and there was no figure of Hu Tian in sight.
Walking straight to the outside of the cave, the rain-washed valley is exceptionally bright, the green leaves are clean, the air is fresh, and there is a feeling of prosperity.
From a distance, Hu Tianzheng was standing at the bottom of the hill, not knowing what he was doing.
"Oba!"
Xu Nuoyi walked down the hill with one shallow foot and one foot and saw that he was holding a few broken shrub branches with some blood stains on them.
"Huh? Are youβare you hurt? β
"Not mine." Hu Tian shook his head, his eyes kept staring at a fresh footprint on the ground, and a small tree with a bowl mouth cut down at waist height next to him.
"These footprints were left by horses, and there should be someone, at least humanoid sapient beings, who have just passed through here. And, it seems, there was a battle here, and most likely he was hunting! His strength is great, greater than that of a human. β
Hunt? You can see that!
Xu Nuoyi looked back and forth on the ground a few times in confusion, and suddenly realized that he cheered excitedly, "I'll just say, with my little lucky star in Corell, I will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune!" We will be saved! β
"Not necessarily."
Hu Tian denied it, put the bloodstained branch under his nose and sniffed it, his face changed suddenly, "What he hunted is probably not a beast......
"Not a beast? What is that? β
Hu Tian glanced at her coldly and said, "Maybe it's also a human, or a humanoid intelligent creature!" β
Xu Nuoyi couldn't help but shudder, and opened his mouth wide in horror, could it be that he had fallen into the cannibal tribe? Oh, my God...... What about this?!
"This place is not suitable for a long stay, we must leave as soon as possible!"
Hu Tian raised his hand and pointed to a red bush almost two kilometers away, and added, "The horseshoe prints are in the direction of the mangrove forest in front, I have already observed, on the other side of the mangrove forest, there is a road nearby, which is likely to lead to the civilized world." But...... That mangrove forest is likely to be a gathering place for red-tailed poisonous scorpions, and we need to walk through the middle. It's a bit of an adventure, but the only thing you can do now! β
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Xu Noyi almost bit his tongue.
No, really...... Do you have to go through the scorpion nest? God, he...... Is he crazy?!
Xu Nuoyi's decision to Hu Tian was simply incomprehensible, and goosebumps broke all over his body when he caught a glimpse of the wound on his shoulder.
"Oba, you have to protect me! People are afraid ......"
"Go on your own."
Hu Tian lowered his head, and there was almost no expression on his cold face.
He swept the branch sharpened at the end of his hand and wrapped the rabbit meat that he hadn't eaten last night in rabbit fur, picked it up on a long stick, and carried it on his shoulder.
"Butβ"
"Are you scared?"
"Hahaha! It's ridiculous! I'm a big star with 8 million followers! Am I afraid?! β
"Good, with personality!"
"Right? Now you know how good I am, right? β
"Well, since it's so powerful, then you should carry this!"
Hu Tian threw the spear to Xu Noyi.
"Hey, how can this be!!"
Xu Nuoyi cried and mourned, reluctantly took the spear, and walked in front weakly, cursing secretly in his heart.
What kind of man is this, I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but he is a defenseless girl!
Moreover, this piece of equipment is simply ugly and crying......
β¦β¦
It looks like a barren hilly valley with dwarf vegetation covering most of the ground. The red bush jungle, like a wall of fire burning in the valley, completely blocked the way out of the wasteland.
In the mangrove forest, which is more than a person high, there is a constant sound of rustling around them, as if something is following them through the bushes, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Shuttling through the bushes, Xu Nuoyi felt a trace of fear rising in his heart more and more, could it be that there were really some red-tailed scorpion monsters that were about to rush out, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help trotting a few steps to catch up with Hu Tian and grabbed his arm.
"Oba!" Xu Nuoyi looked around vigilantly, and muttered timidly, "I seem to hear a ...... There is movement ......"
"Hmm."
Hu Tiantou didn't reply, he responded slightly, and continued to walk forward without any disapproval, but his pace suddenly accelerated.
"Hey, Hu Tian! I really heard ......."
Seeing that he ignored him, Xu Nuoyi couldn't help but grab the long branch in his hand and followed closely in fear.
She decided, in case something came out of the bushes later, no matter what was going on, she would knock on a stick.
As he walked farther and farther away, the red bushes gradually thinned from thick, and in the distance, Xu Nuoyi could already faintly see the path next to the mound in front of him, reflecting the sun's rays like diamonds.
"Hoohoo! It's finally out! Seeing that victory was in sight, Xu Noyi waved his pink fist excitedly and almost jumped up.
But at this moment, suddenlyβ
The sound of horses' hooves came faintly from behind the mound.
"Anyone?!"
Xu Nuoyi turned his head to look at Hu Tian in surprise, "Oba, you heard someone ...... Hmmm......"
A hand tightly covered her mouth, and Hu Tian suddenly grabbed her waist from behind, almost carrying her and hiding in the mangrove forest on the side.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The sudden series of movements startled Xu Nuoyi.
"Don't move."
Hu Tian's voice was like a thunderbolt from his throat, and his eyes were as vigilant as knives observing the situation on the other side of the mound from the cracks in the branches.
What are you fussing about, you bastard! Let go, hey! β¦β¦
Xu Nuoyi was firmly hugged in front of him by Hu Tian, and scolded him angrily in his heart. But in the next second, she suddenly stopped struggling-
Ah, what's that?!
I saw a small green figure, rolling down from the mound in a panic, and crashed into a small red bush, as if it had fallen lightly.
But it didn't stop, but struggled to get up, stumbling on.
It's on the run!
