Chapter 501: Desperate and Unwilling
Sure enough, as soon as he made up his mind, the bald man turned around quietly without hesitation, and then crawled slowly to the other side of the road like a turtle lying on the ground.
Although the crawling was slow, he still managed to get out of the dirt slope after more than ten seconds, successfully dodging in front of the black shadow passing through the dirt slope, and then arrived under a tree on the opposite side of the road.
"Whew!"
Seeing this, he patted his chest, exhaled a long breath, and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then sat against the tree like a puddle of mud, leaning his back against the tree and gasping for breath, but just when his left hand after wiping the cold sweat was thrown to the ground at will, just when Peng Hu himself was only observing the surrounding environment......
(Huh?) )
Left hand, touching something, unintentionally touching something.
Strictly speaking, if you only touch dirt, gravel, or weeds, it will not attract attention, let alone Peng Hu's attention, but at this moment, as his left hand inadvertently touches something, Peng Hu's complexion changes suddenly in an instant!
Cause?
The reason for this is that things that are touched feel very unusual.
The touch transmitted through the fingers is definitely not the touch of a rock or a plant, but it is very similar to human skin!!
At the same time, a few seconds ago, when Peng Hu was resting with his back against the tree, above his head, directly above, something very similar to a human head also fell silently......
………
In the darkness of night, his left hand inadvertently touches an object.
Sensing the difference in touch, Peng Hu suddenly turned his head to look at his side, and after a look, he found that there was a corpse lying beside him!
A dead man, the body of a man who has been dead for a long time 100 percent.
Why is it certain that there is a corpse? The reason comes from the terrible state of the other party.
Imagine suddenly seeing a dead man in the middle of the night, even Peng Hu was really startled, fortunately, the bald man was very courageous, and he forcibly calmed down after a little surprise, without making a sound, without making a sound, just hurriedly got up from the ground and then squatted under the tree to start observing, and carefully observed the corpse with the help of the high-altitude moonlight.
As far as the eye can see, the deceased can first be identified as a male by the clothing, but the biggest difference from ordinary corpses is ...... This is a dried corpse!
The man's death was extremely miserable, his body was almost withered, his expression was seriously distorted, his mouth was open, and most of his eyes were protruding from his sockets, as if he had experienced some kind of painful torture when he died......
As the observation deepened, it continued, and vaguely, he also noticed that the face of the dried corpse seemed to be somewhat familiar.
Looks like you've seen it before?
Suddenly! He remembered who the other party was, this person was Zhang Xu!
This time, the newcomer Zhang Xu!
Yes, Peng Hu knew that Zhang Xu had fled privately when he was on the Yinyang Road, and ran away from the army alone, but he didn't expect that the man named Zhang Xu hadn't walked out of the Yinyang Road for so long, not only did he not walk out, but he also died here.
Leaving aside Peng Hu's squatting under the tree to observe the corpse, and not mentioning that the bald man stared at the corpse thoughtfully, the camera shifted slightly, rose slightly, and then shifted to the top of his head......
At some point, an old man appeared in the lush branches and leaves of the tree, a strange old man with a withered appearance and a pale face.
The reason why it is called weird comes from the state of the old man, 'he' is only half, connected to the trunk below the waist, and when it appears, half of the body is in the form of upside down to show the field of vision, the old man looked down for the first time after he appeared, and a pair of faintly red eyes stared straight down Peng Hu!
'He' was silent from beginning to end, unusually silent from beginning to end.
But it was precisely because the old man did not make a sound when he hit him, so Peng Hu was completely unaware of the scene above his head.
And then......
The old man moved, stretched out a pair of arms like dead wood downward, and slowly stretched out towards Peng Hu under the tree.
Even if the distance between the two sides is two meters, the arms are still extended, extending one after another, and they can continue to extend after reaching the limit!
The distance gradually shortened, and it quietly approached in the silent and dead night.
Under the tree, looking at the miserable dead dry corpse in front of him, Peng Hu's face full of stubble couldn't help twitching, it was obvious that through the tragic state of the corpse, he could be 100% sure that Zhang Xu died an unnatural death, and nine times out of ten he was killed by the mantis, having said that, he still didn't expect that the lonely souls and wild stalks in the Yin and Yang Road would have such a terrifying way of killing! Draw inferences, if you are also caught by these things, then the fate of Zhang Xu in front of you is undoubtedly your future fate, thinking of this, the fear in the bald man's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and it is more and more difficult to suppress, he doesn't plan to continue to hide, the night is long, and there is only a dead end in the end, and he must escape from a yin and yang road as soon as possible and then join the army!
As soon as he thought of it, he carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that there were no suspicious shadows nearby, Peng Hu got up from the ground and planned to leave.
Can......
Smack!
At this moment, just when the bald man was looking for the right direction and raised his feet to leave, suddenly! A pair of arms, a pair of top-down arms, have grabbed the neck in an instant!
grabbed Peng Hu without warning and grabbed the back of his neck!!
"Ahh
Uncontrollable, out of instinct, the sudden mutation scared Peng Hu half to death on the spot, and a terrified scream instantly reverberated everywhere, by this sudden attack, the bald man's body trembled, he felt that his neck was grabbed by something, and he couldn't get rid of the clamp no matter how he struggled, sure enough, seeing that the struggle was ineffective, controlled by the subconscious, just when his hands were quickly raised and stretched to the back of his neck to break free from the clamp, the next second, a human head had already preempted the top of his head and hung down to his eyes in the blink of an eye!
Along with it, there is also a miserable white face full of wrinkles!
At this moment, this old man who fell from above was face to face with Peng Hu in the form of hanging upside down, and he looked at each other in the form of almost face to face!
"Wow, ah!!hhh
What a terrifying scene this is, what a terrifying scene this is, seeing a mantis face suddenly appear in front of him, coupled with his own inability to escape, at this moment, Peng Hu's body trembled, screaming again and again, frightened his whole body trembled, frightened his soul did not possess his body, and the screaming never stopped from beginning to end, but, fear is fear, fear is fear, with the unique super understanding and observation ability of the veteran, as early as a few seconds ago, when the mantis face drooped into the field of vision, the head man still instantly came to a conclusion, Comes up with a reality that even if you don't believe it, you have to be forced to accept it:
This thing in front of me is 100% a stinger!
Not only did it confirm that the other party was a mantis, but it also further derived the cause and effect from the way the mantis appeared, that is......
The mantis hid overhead, hiding in the trees, and the mantis actually launched a surprise attack directly from the bottom up, and then succeeded in catching itself!!
(Oops!) )
At the same time, just when Peng Hu realized that his situation was not good, because the screams and screams when he was first arrested were too loud, black shadows appeared in the night around him, and a large group of dense black figures appeared.
Just like a wolf discovering its prey, like a shark smelling blood, in just a few seconds, a large group of black shadows moved, all rushing towards the big tree, surging towards Peng Hu from all directions, the number is simply incalculable!!
Seeing the large waves of black shadows gradually approaching, seeing countless black shadows floating towards him frequently, under the tree, Peng Hu, who was being grabbed by the old man's neck, was desperate, completely desperate.
Or it can be understood as ......
He's done.
Cause? Don't need a reason, a reason? There is no need for a reason, the facts are in front of you, not to mention that you have been tightly grasped and restricted by the old man in the tree, just saying that the current situation of being full of mantis in all directions at this moment is enough to sentence yourself to death.
It was surrounded, and it was full of mantis in all directions, all of which were lonely souls that would only slaughter and kill.
Dead!
There was no glimmer of hope.
Of course, despair is despair, death is death, Rao is so, all of the above still does not mean that Peng Hu is willing to close his eyes and wait for death, let alone that he is willing to wait for death!
As has been described many times in the past, the bald man is not the one who gives up lightly from beginning to end, even if there is no way to live at all, even if he is completely certain to die, he will still struggle, and he will still fight until the last moment.
Because......
He's Peng Hu!
Even if death cannot be changed, but before death, Lao Tzu still has to pull the back wildly, how much can be pulled!!
Therefore, when it was confirmed that his life was not long in coming, the next moment, the frightened expression on Peng Hu's face disappeared and disappeared, replaced by hideousness, crazy anger that he had never had.
(I, there is still a glimmer of life, there is still a trace of uncertain life!) )
Fight to die or live here!
Looking at the old mantis face in front of him, which was almost close to his face, Peng Hu directly gave up struggling, his body was no longer exerting, his hands were no longer waving, he quickly reached into his arms, and then slapped a piece of rune paper that had been shining with golden light since he took it out and slammed it towards the door of the mantis face.
"the !! of your Malegobi"
As mentioned above, because the distance between the two was too close, and the man moved extremely fast, sure enough, as soon as the roar came out, the next moment, the talisman paper was pasted on the door in front of the old man on the spot.
Syllable!
Next......
An astonishing scene happened, and even Peng Hu himself did not expect a shocking scene was issued:
Trance, aw!
"Woo!"
With the golden light charm sticking to the old man's face door in the blink of an eye, and with the exorcism characteristics of the golden light talisman when it met the mantis, the moment it touched the mantis, it emitted a dazzling golden light on the spot, the light was dazzling and spread, and the old man in front of him also let out a miserable scream when the spell exploded, a string of creepy and terrible wails.
'He' was in pain, in extreme pain, in unbearable pain, as if he were being tortured in some way.
After wailing, the restraint on Peng Hu's neck disappeared instantly.
However, the matter is not over, and it is still not over.
"Uhhhhh
No one understands what is happening at this moment, the only thing that knows is that an amazing scene is currently being staged, at this moment, as the golden light talisman sticks to the front door, as the golden light talisman bursts and burns, the old man hanging upside down in front of Peng Hu began to wail, just like this, in front of the bald man painfully twisted his neck and shook his head, withered hands covered his face, his body began to be translucent, and it was quickly blurred and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye under the double shroud of flames and golden light, and it was quickly transparent until it completely disappeared, completely without a trace.
The Golden Light Talisman actually wiped out a mantis!!
Cause? The reason is very simple, the golden light talisman belongs to the supernatural exorcism props, this kind of props can only play a role in protecting life in the past, and it can often only be repelled for a short time in front of the fierce moth, and it is equivalent to waste paper when it touches the earthbound spirit, but please don't forget, don't ignore the level of the mantis, and don't ignore the difference between the mantis and the stalk.
As most of the executors understand, the mantis have a hierarchy, and there is also a difference between strength and weakness, and most of the mantis encountered by the executors in the supernatural tasks experienced in the past are high-level stalks, it is conceivable that with the strength of the stalk, the golden light rune that is already focused on defense is helpless against it, the golden light rune is like this, and the same is true for other supernatural props, and the only thing that can play after use is only to delay life, and there is not much substantial damage to the stellar moth in essence, as for the earth-bound spirit like Sadako, it is not to mention.
The reason why the golden light talisman can destroy the old man's mantis at this moment is precisely because the other party is not a strong sting, but a lonely soul, a lonely soul wild scorpion that is far inferior to the strong stinger in terms of level and strength.
Getting back to the point, let's not talk about anything else for the time being, as the golden light gradually dissipates, when he witnessed the old man's mantis disappear without a trace, when he was completely sure that the body restraints were lifted, although he didn't understand why the other party disappeared for a while, the threat that followed still made the bald head instinctively act, or that he didn't have time to think about it now, because, at the moment when the old man's mantis wailed and disappeared, the group of mantis that were already rushing from all directions around him was less than five meters away from him!!
"Ahh
Seeing such a scene, the bald man's frightened hair trembled like chaff on the spot, and he thought that he would not be able to escape this fate, but, for some reason, at the moment when he was ready to be submerged and devoured by the swarm, his mind inexplicably recalled the painful expression of the old man's mantis when he was irradiated by the golden light just now.
Just like many times, some thoughts or thoughts just crossed his mind for a moment, there was no reason, no reason, after recalling the painful and tragic state of the old man's mantis, the next moment, Peng Hu made a move again, knowing what would happen if he was caught by these mantises, he reached into his arms for the second time under the prompting of a certain thought in his mind, and took out the golden light talisman.
Pull out the most golden light talisman from his entire mission!
Syllable!
The rune paper was quickly attached to his forehead.
At the same time, at the moment when the golden light talisman was just attached to his forehead, the nearest few moths had completely floated in front of him, and a pair of miserable white claws that stretched out directly followed and submerged into Peng Hu's body!!
A large group of mantis surrounded the bald man, and a large number of claws went straight into Peng Hu's body!!
"Whew!"
When the claws penetrated into his body without causing any wounds, Peng Hu only had one feeling, he, obviously felt that his whole body strength disappeared in an instant, and he was being withdrawn and evacuated at an extremely fast speed, he was weak and mindless, his whole body was paralyzed, and he didn't even have the strength to stand.
These mantises, these mantis called lonely souls, can actually absorb the life force of the living!!
understood, understood in an instant, he finally understood, finally understood how Zhang Xu died, and further figured out why the other party became a dry corpse.
It turned out to be like this, but now, it's my turn, it's my turn to become a dry corpse, and it's my turn to die miserably.
But......
The expected picture did not happen, and the expected ending did not appear.
Peng Hu did not die, and he was not transformed into a dry corpse.
The reason is simple, the golden light talisman is attached to the forehead and the claw of the scorpion is in the same second.
Crash!
At the last moment, just as the countless claws submerged into the body, causing Peng Hu's body to weaken, the golden light talisman on his forehead also erupted at this time, and suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light that spread around him!
Then, there was the shock, the shock, the shock that was even more spectacular than the first:
In the moment of the spread of the golden light, the nearest few scorpions rose off the ground as if they were swept by a violent wind, and they scattered and flew upside down like rootless duckweed, and bounced back in an instant!
At the same time, a voice prompt popped up in my mind:
"The successful use of the Golden Light Talisman can be 100% effective against weaker grants, but due to the inhibition of the effect of the Golden Light Talisman due to too many nearby spirits, the protection time will be sharply reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes."
"Drink!"
Dadada!
Although the hint had been heard, Peng Hu himself had hardly heard it, because he had more important things to do.
For example, run away, and take advantage of the crowd around you to be bounced away by the golden light!
Seeing the swarm flying upside down and seeing the appearance of life, especially when he saw with his own eyes that the golden light could obviously restrain the swarm, Peng Hu, who was originally desperate and pessimistic, was suddenly overjoyed, as the so-called opportunity is not to be lost, in order to survive, but also to inform other teammates of the news, even if the body is weak and Rao is physically unbearable, the bald man still gritted his teeth and rushed wildly when he let out a loud roar, forcibly ran, opened his legs and rushed towards the swarm without hesitation.
Yes, due to the activation of the golden light talisman effect, and his whole person has been wrapped in golden light, so Peng Hu, who rushed into the swarm, can be said to be afraid, saying so, the reality is indeed the case, rushing all the way, but all the scorpions that were approached by the bald man were all bounced upside down without exception, and Peng Hu also took this opportunity to break out of the encirclement of hundreds of swarms!
The only regret ......
Unlike the original old man's wail disappeared by the direct attack, perhaps it had no close contact or this time it was only a defensive effect, although all the people who were irradiated by the golden light bounced off one after another, but they could no longer eliminate the mantis, they could only be contained, and they could only make the surrounding swarm unable to attack temporarily, sure enough, as Peng Hu rushed out of the encirclement, the lonely soul wild scorpions that were originally scattered and bounced gathered again, pursued again, and floated behind the man.
All of a sudden, hundreds of mantis began to pursue in this way, and 'they' were completely unconscious, completely irrational, relying only on the instinct of the mantis to chase the living people in front of them.
And what's even more terrifying......
Unlike usual, this time, the swarm is faster.
Its floating speed is now completely equal to that of human rush!!
Not only that, as Peng Hu escaped from the road, as the group of mantis in the rear chased after him, a large number of lonely souls also joined the team along the way during the run, joining the queue of the group of mantis chasing Peng Hu.
As far as the eye can see, there are more than one shadow of the mantis, and the whole highway is full of mantises!
The path of yin and yang is now completely worthy of its name.
This is an abyssal road, a road of no return, a road of death that separates yin and yang if you step into it.
"Wow, ahhhh
Dada!
Running, endlessly, howling, undulating one after another, under Peng Hu's uncontrollable horror, screaming and running, screaming and screaming, if you look down at the road from a third-point perspective at this moment, then you will see the following scene:
In the dark night, there was a person at the front of the road, a bald man was running with his legs desperately, and behind him, he was followed by a black shadow, followed by a large number of dense and countless lonely soul wild beetles, 'they' didn't say a word, all of them were silent, just hanging in the air, just like that, chasing at an amazing speed no less than human rushing, collectively chasing after the bald man.
As for the bald man......
He was racing against time, against death, and while the effect of the golden light rune had not yet dissipated, he ran as far away as he could and as close as possible in a certain direction.
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Dada!
Mixed with sweat like rain, mixed with heavy breathing, under the moonlight, ahead, Peng Hu found that he was almost finished, about to finish, not that he couldn't run the mantis, but that he was physically exhausted, his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his legs were as difficult to maintain as if they were filled with lead.
Even if your body can be far beyond ordinary people, what can you do? I am still a mortal, I am still an ordinary human being, as long as I am a human being, I will have a physical limit, and as long as I am a human being, I can't avoid physical fatigue.
In addition, he had consumed a lot of physical strength in the process of avoiding the swarms earlier, and now he is about to be unable to run, the reason why he can still maintain running wildly is completely dependent on a will to survive in persistence, but unfortunately persistence is persistence after all, Peng Hu is not a superman after all, his physical fitness has a limit after all, he doesn't know how long he can last, the protection time of the golden light charm has been greatly weakened, and his physical strength is basically exhausted, but the road ahead has no focus from beginning to end, and there is no end.
Seeing this, Peng Hu faintly had a feeling in his mind, an ominous premonition that was about to become a reality.
Maybe......
This run was the last run of his life.
And although this place called Yin-Yang Road has no end, it does not prevent it from becoming the end of one's life.
(Is there any hope?) Is it still too late? I'm not afraid of death, but if I don't get the news...... I, I don't blink an eye! )
………
Thoughts crossed the night sky, consciousness passed through the darkness, through countless ups and downs, and finally entered it, reached the window, and then went straight into the depths of a young man's mind.
Groov!
In front of the window, staring at the night through the gap in the wooden plank, He Fei's heart began to beat wildly, accelerating inexplicably and trembling without any reason.
Along with it, there is an indescribable nervousness and hesitation.
