Chapter 189: The Beast with a Human Face

The ground under our feet is still scorched, and the surroundings are still dark with no fingers visible, and we are moving in the direction of coordinates with the help of the compass app and the powerful flashlight of our mobile phones in the darkness.

Step by step, vigilant, until I walked for about half an hour, suddenly, I only saw that in front of us, a black shadow flashed by the edge of the flashlight......

Yes, a beastly, four-limbed black shadow flashed from the edge of my flashlight.

I felt a sigh in my heart, and I quickly told Zhou Fang and Team Wang what I had found.

Suddenly, Zhou Fang and the Wang team reflexively leaned against me and formed a triangle formation with me.

That way, at least we'll be the first to notice anything in the darkness around us.

"Don't you see what?"

Behind him, there was a whispered question from Team Wang.

"It should be some kind of beastly creature......"

I replied, of course uneasy.

The beast creatures near the gate of the netherworld must have been infected by the breath of the netherworld and become murderous beasts, and it flashed at the edge of my flashlight, indicating that it has discovered us, and it is likely to be watching us in the darkness at this time......

His eyes widened, and by the light of the flashlight, he stared at the darkness in front of me, and of course, the other hand also held the Lu Wu Hidden Knife, ready to fight the beast at any time.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement in the surrounding darkness, and at this time, Zhou Fang's low voice came from behind me, asking if I was mistaken.

"I hope I'm wrong......"

I replied and asked Zhou Fang and the Wang team not to relax their vigilance, and continued to move in the direction of coordinates according to the current triangular defense formation.

Of course, I can be sure that I was not mistaken, that there was indeed a beast-like thing flashing through the darkness in front of us.

And this one, in fact, is also expected by me.

Since the coordinate direction is sending a distress signal, it means that the coordinate direction is dangerous, and we encounter this beast in the darkness in front of us at this time, which actually means that we have approached the location of the distress coordinates.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he clenched the Lu Wuzang knife tightly, and continued to move in the direction of coordinates with Zhou Fang and the Wang team.

And this time, just a few minutes later, I realized something was wrong.

It was a "buzzing," resonant sound, faintly coming from the dark depths on the side in front of us.

"Be careful!"

I reminded Zhou Fang and the Wang team in a deep voice, but unexpectedly, the Wang team behind me scolded loudly, as if he had discovered something.

I felt a pang in my heart, and when I looked back, I heard a rush of footsteps coming from the darkness on the king's side.

However, the sound of footsteps in the darkness on the king's side was not the only one, and when I looked back at the king's side, there was also a rapid footstep in the darkness in front of me.

I quickly turned around and swept it with a powerful flashlight from my phone.

Suddenly, I saw a black shadow of a beast on all fours, already running wildly close to ten meters in front of me.

There was no time to analyze it at all, so he reflexively raised the Lu Wu Tibetan Knife in his hand, and in the Lu Wu Howl from the Tibetan Knife, he slashed down towards the black shadow of the rushing beast.

However, I didn't expect the touch of Lu Wuzang's knife cutting into the skin of the beast, and my knife went directly into the air, slashing on the scorched ground in front of me, and my mouth was numb.

Not because it was crooked, but because the beast's shadow was about to pounce on me, it turned around and jumped back into the darkness directly in front of me.

Of course, this made me a little unexpected, but it also shows that the beast that attacked us should be a creature with intelligence, just like the black-haired monkey in the woods before, they knew that the hidden knife would hurt them, so they chose to avoid its edge.

"Team Wang, how are you doing over there?"

I asked in a low voice, not daring to be distracted to see the situation on the Wang team's side.

"There's no movement, the thing doesn't show up, just lingering on the edges."

The king team returned crisply, and my heart chuckled again.

The beast on the king's side didn't appear, and its footsteps just lingered on the edge of the flashlight......

This shows that this has been planned for a long time, and the beast thing in the dark on the king's side has not thought of attacking the king's team at all, and it deliberately makes a galloping footstep sound to attract the attention of all of us, so as to facilitate the beast thing on my side to raid.

This is a typical trick, which also shows that these beasts, not just have intelligence, as I thought, but have a certain level of intelligence and know how to work as a team.

Knowing the beast of teamwork, this can be tricky......

Frowning tightly, he also told all the speculations that I had encountered the dark shadow of the beasts and that I had a certain amount of wisdom about these beast things.

"Grass ......"

Zhou Fang on the side scolded in a low voice after I finished speaking.

"Forgetful, you said that beast chose to avoid its edge when it attacked you?"

"Yes, it turned around and fled just as I swung the knife."

I'll reply simply.

"Could that just be a temptation?"

Zhou Fang asked, and I was stunned.

Yes, perhaps from the very beginning, the beasts did not intend to attack me, but to test me, then, if it was only a temptation, it means that they are not many in number at this time, and they have not yet launched an attack on us to overcome our confidence.

Then, a group of intelligent creatures are likely to ...... when there is no information to encircle their prey

"They will find more accomplices......"

Before I could analyze, the deep voice of Team Wang came from behind me.

I was dumbfounded, and of course I knew that what the king team said was right.

Since the beast has determined the prey, it will not let it go easily, and at this time, the power of the beast cannot defeat the prey, of course, it will call more beasts to come and hunt together!

And we can't be sure how many such beasts there are in the ground space under this cliff abyss......

"Follow the coordinates to move forward, since the coordinate position can send a distress signal, then at least the coordinate location is safe!"

I said in a deep voice, and the Zhou Fang and Wang teams behind me also responded.

Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and hurried in the direction of the coordinates.

Of course, during the rapid journey, we also maintained the posture of raising the Tibetan knife and leaning back, completely alert to all the dark corners around us.

It wasn't until I shone on the edge of the dark flashlight of the powerful flashlight in front of us as we swiftly advanced, and the shadows of the beasts flashed more and more frequently, and I knew that we were gradually surrounded by the beasts of the abyssal ground......

And once they are surrounded to the point where they think they can annihilate us, then they will not hesitate to attack us!

"Be careful......"

I said in a deep voice, and there was also a response from Zhou Fang and Team Wang behind me.

And just as I said this, in the darkness at the edge of the flashlight in front of me, two black shadows of beasts, one left and one right, rushed towards me, and their speed was completely impossible to capture with the flashlight.

Without thinking too much, he waved the Lu Wu Hidden Knife in his hand indiscriminately, and this time, the Lu Wu Hidden Knife directly slashed at the back of the beast black shadow that pounced on the right.

The blade slammed, it was the feeling of penetrating the bone, and at the same time, the beast shadow on the left directly took advantage of me when I slashed the back of the beast shadow on the right, and pounced on my chest.

I didn't think about it at all, such a moment of life and death was completely a conditioned reflex, and I directly withdrew Lu Wuzang's knife and placed it across my chest.

There was no accident, there was a sharp pain, it was the black shadow of the beast that pounced, hit the horizontal Lu Wuzang knife, and then pressed the pain on my chest.

I gritted my teeth and used all my strength to push the Lu Wu Hidden Knife and the beast away from my chest.

And of course, the blade of my Lu Wu Zang Knife was facing outward, and the back of the beast pounced like this, although it left a hot stream on my chest, but it was also cut into the abdomen by the blade of Lu Wu Zang Knife, and blood sprayed.

"Grass!"

I scolded, and at the same time as the black shadow of the beast fell from Lu Wuzang's knife, it slashed towards the top of its head.

However, this knife, just as it approached the head of the beast's black shadow, I was restraining it.

Because at the same time as I slashed this Lu Wu hidden knife, the black shadow of the beast that fell to the ground suddenly raised its head towards me.

Although there were no lips, only white teeth, no eyelids, and bloodshot red eyes, I could still tell the beast...... It turned out to have a human face!

Yes! The beast has a human face, or rather, the beast is a human being!

That's right! Although there are no eyelids and lips, and only two holes are left in the nose, you can still see that the face of this beast is a white human face!

Of course I was horrified, and of course I retracted the Lu Wu Tibetan knife that slashed at the top of the beast's head.

Of course, this human-faced beast was not polite to me, and at the same time as I put away Lu Wuzang's knife, it bit my calf, but fortunately I reacted, and used the handle of the knife to slam the back of the human-faced beast.

With a sharp pain in my calf, the hilt of my knife slammed into the back of the human-faced beast.

The human-faced beast let out a strange scream, turned and sprang back into the darkness in front of me.

Seeing this, I quickly touched the sore calf, but fortunately I reacted just now, and retracted my leg when the human-faced beast pounced, and the bite of the human-faced beast only tore off the thumb-sized skin on my calf with my pants.

But it was enough to show that the human-faced beast did indeed take us as prey.

But why do beasts have a human face, or are these beasts not beasts in the first place, but ...... Person?

I don't think deeply, thinking is not the time to think.

Hurriedly asked about the situation of the king team and Zhou Fang behind them, and the two of them also spoke one after another, saying that they had fallen against the human-faced beast, but each of them only faced one, and of course they did not cause any harm to them with the knife in their hands.

"Little Brother Jiang, have you seen clearly......

Immediately after, Team Wang's inquiry came from behind me, with a hint of meaning in his tone.

"Well, don't think about it yet, since they didn't have a chance of defeating us, but they still did it against us, it means that they didn't want to kill us......"

I replied, and the Wang team also said "um", only Zhou Fang didn't seem to understand what I meant, and asked the human-faced beasts that attacked us, why didn't they want to kill us.

"It's not that they don't want to kill us, it's that they just acted, not to kill us."

Before I could explain, Team Wang spoke.

"They attacked us without any chance of winning, and it's clear that they want to hold us back and wait for more of their companions to come!"

"Not bad!"

I nodded, staring straight across the darkness in my line of sight.

"The reason why they want to hold us back is nothing more than one motive, and that is that we are about to get out of danger......"

"Coming out of danger?"

Zhou Fang's voice was once again puzzled.

"Yes, you heard it right.

Since the coordinate location has sent a distress signal, it means that the coordinate location is not in danger and is safe, and we must be very close to the coordinate location now, so these face beasts will be anxious to drag us and prevent us from getting out of danger. ”

After I finished speaking in one breath, I shone the powerful flashlight in my hand around the darkness, and carefully observed, of course, trying to find the location of the coordinates......
