Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Devouring Forest
There were two freezers outside the castle, from which we took out the mineral water and food, and headed for the road on the left.
"The two castles are about 10 kilometers apart, which is about 1 hour at the speed we walked...... Considering that the physical strength of girls is worse than that of boys, it may take an hour and a half to walk, and two more bottles of water should be brought. Glancing at the map, I said.
"Captain, don't we leave anyone to guard the everlasting lantern, aren't we afraid that the other party will come to steal the lantern?" Li Xinyue said.
"There are only two roads to the castle, you can see that the two roads on the map are far away, the red side will definitely guard the two roads separately, we will find one to carry out a surprise attack and smash the yellow dragon!" I said.
Li Xinyue nodded a little red and said, "Okay." Listen to the captain. ”
After leaving the castle, you enter a barren forest, and an ancient road leads to the opposite side.
We walked for a while, and when we looked up, the sun had gradually reached the middle of the sky, and the temperature in the forest was slowly rising.
After walking three or four kilometers, I picked up the map and looked at it and said, "There are still seven or eight kilometers to go, let's walk a little longer." ”
My physical strength is not bad, and Su Mei also showed her unusual physical strength, but Li Xinyue, Xu Simiao, and Wei Rong began to gasp.
After a short break, we moved on.
The two sides of the ancient road were covered with black and oppressive trees, and when the wind blew, the demons shook like a flutter, making a rustling sound, and from time to time there were one or two strange cries not far away, which sounded like the screams of some kind of animal.
On the other side, the five men on the red side are also ready.
"Captain, how are we going to fight?" Li Yumei asked.
"Feng Lizheng, Zeng Gaohao, the two of you are guarding the two roads, Lu Aiyi, support them at any time, Li Yumei followed me, directly from the middle forest, and smashed the Yellow Dragon!" Zhu Quan said excitedly: "You see, I have a distance of about 10 kilometers on both roads, and the distance is shortened by half in the middle. ”
"Captain, is this okay?" Li Yumei asked worriedly: "Can Feng Lizheng and Zeng Gaohao really hold on?" ”
"Are you questioning me? With the two of them, it was more than enough to keep. Zhu Quan said confidently.
"Listen to the captain, our identities are all strong, it's no problem to keep it." Zeng Gaohao said.
"That's how it was decided, Li Yumei, you and I copied it directly from the middle!"
Just when Zhu Quan decided on the battle plan, our side also ran into trouble.
The reason for this is that the road on the map goes around an ancient altar, which is about 2 kilometers away, and it is only 500 meters away.
Wei Rong proposed, "Wouldn't the five of us go directly through the ancient altar to save a large distance?" ”
Li Xinyue also nodded and said, "Yes, captain, let's go directly through the ancient altar, just walk a distance of 500 meters." ”
Looking at the ancient altar marked on the map, I frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that there will be danger, and if there is no danger, there is no need for us to bypass the ancient altar." But it's okay, the five of us will go together, and if we get into trouble, we will immediately retreat! ”
"Okay, no problem, boss!" Li Xinyue and Wei Rong agreed.
Then we walked towards the ancient altar, ready to walk through the ancient altar.
I don't know how many years ago left the ancient altar, it has long been dilapidated, the walls are overturned, and the weeds are covered.
Just as we had walked 50 meters, there was a sudden noise in the dense grass ahead.
My face changed and I whispered, "Be careful." ”
Li Xinyue and Wei Rong immediately took out their respective weapons, the Zhang Gong of the Zhang Bow, and the upper of the bullet.
Soon, a behemoth slowly crawled out of the dense grass. When the behemoth crawled out, my face changed dramatically, and the others retreated.
This giant slug, with a black-yellow surface and full of yellow slime, looks extremely disgusting. This slug is very different from what you usually see, and its body is as strong as a cow.
The slug was slowly wriggling and leaving in the other direction.
"Do slugs eat meat or grass?" I asked suddenly.
"Eat grass, huh? However, some of them may eat meat. Xu Simiao said.
"Don't attack it, let's just go." Finding that the slugs didn't have the idea of attacking us, I stopped Li Xinyue, who was about to shoot, and said.
After the slugs were gone, we walked forward again.
"I didn't expect there to be such a big slug, Captain, did you think we had reached some primeval forest?" Li Xinyue said.
"I don't know." I shook my head, I don't think there was anything like this anywhere in China.
Soon, we walked to the center of the ancient altar, looking at the dilapidated ancient building, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, frowned, walked over to Su Mei, and said, "I feel as if something is wrong, have you noticed it?" ”
As the strongest combat force in the team, Su Mei's observation ability is no worse than mine.
She frowned and said, "I have a feeling of being spied on, as if something, or someone, is spying on us in the dark. ”
"Could it be someone from the red side?" Xu Simiao asked.
"No way, we haven't finished half of the road yet, and the other party's speed is not much faster than us." I shook my head.
Suddenly, I looked at a broken pillar 20 meters to the left, my eyes shrunken, and my face showed horror.
In my eyes, I could see a black figure standing behind the broken pillar, the figure was blurred, but a hand was stretched out and rested on the pillar, and that hand was a black, rotten hand.
Su Mei noticed that something was wrong with me, nodded to me, lowered his voice and said, "I'll go over and take a look incognito." Then Su Mei became invisible.
I stared at the hand, slowly moving its position, and suddenly, I noticed that the figure had disappeared, and the rotting hand was gone.
Su Mei walked back in a circle and shook his head: "Nothing." ”
"Let's get out of here quickly, there must be something wrong with this ancient altar." I said with a grim face.
Then we quickened our pace and walked forward, and after walking 300 meters, we were about to leave the ancient altar, when Li Xinyue suddenly screamed: "Is there someone in front? No, it seems...... It doesn't seem to be human......" Her voice began to tremble, and her expression became terrified.
At the exit of the altar in front stood a dilapidated pillar, in front of which stood a black figure with his hands drooping and his hair shawl, and his face could not be seen, but his body was filled with a creepy aura.
"Don't panic!" I saw that Li Xinyue and Wei Rong were already pale with fright, knowing that they had never seen ghosts, which was different from us who had participated in many games, so I hurriedly shouted.
Li Xinyue was drunk by me, calmed down a little, and said, "Captain, what now?" ”
"Don't panic, ghosts have limitations and rules, let's see if it's a ghost first." I said.
Just as I finished speaking, the dark shadow suddenly walked slowly towards us.
As the black shadow slowly approached, I also saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, it was a man in a tattered black cloth robe, the man was dirty, his hair was scattered, his limbs were thin, his face was black and yellow, his eyes were hollow, the skin on his body had rotted more than half, and the smell of rotting corpses came to his face.
There is no doubt that this is a dead man...... Or a ghost!
"Ah~!" Li Xinyue screamed in fright and ran behind me to hide.
My face is dark, why do girls like to scream at every turn? Why not use this advantage in a reasonable place, such as a bed?
"Don't panic, Wei Rong, what are you capable of? Can you repel it? I shouted.
"I ...... I'm a police officer and I'm able to shoot. Wei Rong's state of mind was finally better, and he didn't collapse on the ground in fright, but he was also so frightened that his face turned pale and he looked panicked. Hearing me say this, he shuddered and took out his pistol from his trouser pocket and shot the man's corpse.
"Bang~!"
"Bang~!"
"Bang~!"
Although Wei Rong had never played with firearms, the distance between the dead body and us was less than 10 meters, and if he couldn't hit this distance, there would be ghosts.
All three shots hit the body of the male corpse, leaving three holes in the male corpse.
But after he fired three shots, the man's corpse paused for a moment and then continued to walk towards us.
"Isn't it useless?" My eyes narrowed, and I said, "Guns are useless against ghosts." ”
"What to do? Top dog! Wei Rong fired two more shots in horror, but they could only stop the male corpse a little.
The male corpse was only seven or eight meters away from us at this time, and it was still getting closer.
"We can't let the ghosts get close, or we'll all have to die here today!" My eyes flickered, "The gun can't solve it, Li Xinyue's bow and arrows definitely can't either, their arrows and bullets are limited, they can't be wasted here, Su Mei's stealth has been used, and it is impossible to assassinate this ghost, Xu Simiao is a doctor, and it is useless at this time...... Do you want to use the skills of my identity ......"
"The skill of the Taoist priest can resist the attack of the ghost, but the cooldown time is 4 hours, and if you use it now, you will have no backhand when you encounter trouble later."
At this time, the male corpse had already launched an attack on Wei Rong, who was the closest to him, and the male corpse was originally four or five meters away from us, but suddenly the male corpse jumped up, and his movements were faster than lightning!
"Not good?!" My face changed, and I hurriedly tried to activate the shelter skill, but then my eyes shrank and I stopped moving.
I saw that when the male corpse pounced on Wei Rong, Wei Rong's body shook, and the male corpse flew backwards and fell out seven or eight steps.
"It's a bronze lamp!" I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the bronze lamp can really protect the owner, and even the ghost can be repelled, but the cooldown time is as long as 1 day, which is quite painful.
"Boss, what should I do? The ghost is up again! Wei Rong said in horror.
After the male corpse was shaken away, he slowly walked towards us.
"We're only 50 meters from the exit of the altar, and I'll have 60 seconds to turn on the shield later, enough to get out of here. Listen to me, as long as I say run, run with me! I said.
"Okay." They all nodded in agreement.
I said, "Prepare now, you must leave the altar in 60 seconds, because don't blame me if you can't get out!" "I deliberately glanced at Xu Simiao and Li Xinyue, Wei Rong's mentality is okay, at least dare to shoot at the ghost, Li Xinyue was already so frightened that her face turned pale.
"3, 2, 1, run!" Seeing that the male ghost was about to pounce, I snorted and silently said in my heart: open the shelter. Then he stepped forward and ran wildly.
Just after I turned on the shield, the male ghost no longer pounced, I ran forward, Su Mei was beside me, then Xu Simiao, Li Xinyue, and finally Wei Rong.
When we ran wildly in front, the male ghost also caught up with Wei Rong, but because of my protection, the male ghost did not dare to attack him.
The distance of 50 meters is not long, but it is not short, under normal circumstances, adults can run in about 10 seconds, I ran in high school, and even took 6.7 seconds less, but at this time, the altar was full of gravel and rotten wood, which hindered us from running.
Of course, this obstacle is not difficult for me, but it has caused a great obstacle to Xu Simiao, Li Xinyue, and Wei Rong, and their speed has also been slowed down, so I have to slow down and wait for them to catch up, because I don't know how wide the scope of this shelter is, if I run too fast and leave them behind, then they will be attacked by ghosts immediately, in their state, I am afraid that no bronze lamp can stop the power of the ghost's blow.
Soon, I was the first to rush out of the altar, followed by Su Mei, the third was to my surprise, it was Xu Simiao, the fourth was Li Xinyue, but Wei Rong fell to the end.
At this moment, there were less than 2 seconds left for me to shelter, and Wei Rong was still four or five miles away from us, and I yelled, "Wei Rong, hurry up!" ”
Wei Rong ran with all his strength, and finally ran out of the altar after I finished jumping out of shelter time.
When the shelter time was over, I looked at the male ghost with a wary expression, because I wasn't sure if it would chase him out of the altar.
But soon, the male ghost stopped, and walked backwards.
I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the male ghost will only attack the person who enters the altar, and as soon as it leaves the altar, it will abandon the attack.
We rested for a while before returning to the ancient path.
"It's too dangerous, this ancient altar is really not a place to walk, I almost died there." Li Xinyue lowered her waist, her hands on her knees, and kept panting.
Since Li Xinyue was wearing a blue one-piece dress, I looked down and saw a large patch of snow white on her chest, and even a little bit of red.
I couldn't help but feel hot on my face, then looked at it twice, and said, "It seems that except for the ancient road on the map, the forest cannot be walked, and there are ghosts on the ancient altar, and there will definitely be ghosts in other places." ”
"Well, let's take the ancient road obediently, this time there is no boss, we are all finished." Wei Rong said.
"Okay, although I wasted a bronze lamp and my skills this time, at least I know that the forest can't be walked, and it's not a loss." I said a word, and moved on.
Just as we were moving forward on the ancient road, at this time, Zhu Quan, who was going to cross the forest to smash the Yellow Dragon, Li Yumei had already regretted that her intestines were blue.
After walking 200 meters just now, they found that something was wrong around them, and a jar of wine was placed under the woods.
And as they passed, the wine jars continued to gush with blood, and the mouth of the jar stretched out a pair of strange ghost hands.
The two were so frightened that if it weren't for Li Yumei's identity as a priest and being able to exorcise demons, she would have been killed by the ghost in the altar a long time ago.
But even then, they escaped in such a mess that they even used bronze lamps.
