Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 43 Escaping Death
The black shadow was approaching step by step, the fog was very big at this time, Chu Tianyi wiped the condensed water vapor on his eyelashes, and looked forward hard, the black shadow was covered with black hair, the head was huge, and the two eyes were black on a miserable white face.
Before Chu Tianyi could see the details clearly, the monster screamed and pounced. He didn't care about looking closely, so he hurriedly dodged sideways, and then slashed with a knife, but he didn't expect that this guy's fur was extremely strong, and this knife cut had no effect.
The monster returned with a claw, and Chu Tianyi hurriedly raised his hand to block. Although he blocked it this time, it felt like a steel pipe smashed his forearm, and he grinned hard in pain, barely screaming.
But after all, Chu Tianyi had practiced martial arts for many years, and he couldn't help but see a gap and raised his foot to kick the monster under the ribs. This one kicked the monster solidly. If a person is kicked this time, the ribs must be damaged. But the monster didn't move at all, but Chu Tianyi felt that his kick was like kicking on a wall, and the reaction force made him take a few steps back, and his body crashed backwards into the boulder across the river.
Before Chu Tianyi could come to his senses, the monster had already rushed over again. In the first few encounters, he didn't get any bargains, so he hurriedly got up to dodge and jumped into the river.
The monster didn't stop and slammed into the boulder. With a "boom", the boulder was even shaken a few times.
Chu Tianyi was slightly confused, and something that he didn't know what it was suddenly burst out from under the boulder. He was startled, and quickly squinted his eyes to look carefully, only to see a big snake wrapped around the monster's body, and the monster grabbed the snake's head, and the two were entangled.
Chu Tianyi had only heard before that the people trapped by the ghost hitting the wall were all alone, going back and forth in a circle, and they couldn't see any other living creatures. But this time the ghost who trapped himself hit the wall, it turned out to be so vibrant, not only did he have a monster as his companion, but now he also had a big snake as his companion, Chu Tianyi lamented that he didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.
However, thinking about it, Chu Tianyi was still in a cold sweat, and he walked back and forth on the boulder many times, but he was not attacked by the big snake. Otherwise, I will be attacked by the enemy on my belly and back, and I am afraid that it will be cold now.
Chu Tianyi thought about it, while looking at the monster and the big snake that were still entangled, he always felt that something was not right, this monster was indeed very strange, but the big snake was also a little strange, but where was the specific basilisk, Chu Tianyi couldn't say clearly, and he couldn't see clearly, because these two "bosses" were fighting inseparably, flying sand and rocks.
The cold river water flowed under Chu Tianyi's body, which also made him gradually calm down, he looked at the river in a daze, and suddenly remembered a way to escape from the ghost hitting the wall.
Generally speaking, ghost hitting the wall is a consequence of the illusion or hallucination of the human body, which makes people unconsciously circle in the same place without realizing it. However, if you take the river water as a reference, dive into the water with your eyes closed and follow the direction of the current. In this way, both the illusion that can be caused by sight is avoided, and the influence that can be caused by hearing is isolated. The most important thing is that the direction of the water flow follows the most basic natural laws and laws, and no matter how powerful the ghost hits the wall, it is impossible to break the laws of nature.
Taking advantage of the monster's lack of time to take care of himself, Chu Tianyi held his breath and dived into the water. The speed of the river was very fast, and Chu Tianyi drifted with the current in the water. From time to time, he would close his eyes and poke his head out to breathe, and gradually he heard the sound of the waterfall disappearing, which made his heart suddenly happy, because he felt that his method should have worked.
However, Chu Tianyi was still not very relieved, so he still dived into the water, planning to drift for a while longer, farther away from the waterfall and then go ashore.
After a while, Chu Tianyi felt that the surrounding river water suddenly accelerated, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, this situation showed that there was a relatively large drop in the river in front of him.
Chu Tianyi hurriedly floated up from the water, but was horrified to find that the river had turned underground less than fifty meters in front of him, and a black hole appeared there, which was even bigger than the hole where Xiao Meng was in danger before.
Chu Tianyi scolded in his heart, "How come this TM also has a hole, is it symmetrical on both sides?" He swam desperately to the shore, but the current speed was too fast, and there were no reefs and other places in the river to borrow, Chu Tianyi wanted to dock several times, but was swept back by the swirling river.
Seeing that he was about to be washed into the cave by the river, Chu Tianyi suddenly stretched out his hand, saw the opportunity and rushed up vigorously, just one hand on the edge of the hole.
He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to stabilize. But because he had already consumed a lot of physical strength when he was looking for his way in the ghost wall just now, coupled with the desperate swimming just now, he wanted to climb up along the entrance of the cave, but he no longer had enough strength to resist the momentum of the water.
Although Chu Tianyi could barely climb the entrance of the cave now, most of his body had already been washed into the cave, and under the pull of the current, he knew that he couldn't hold on for long. In order to reduce weight, he threw off his backpack.
At such a critical juncture, Chu Tianyi could only shout for help in addition to desperately holding on, at this time, Chu Tianyi was so old and shouted for help for the first time, and he was so hoarse. Until he shouted hoarsely, and his heart was completely hopeless.
Chu Tianyi felt that his arm had begun to tremble uncontrollably, and he knew that this was a sign of exhaustion, and it was also a sign that his life was about to end. He felt that he was about to collapse, and suddenly, a figure came out of the woods not far away, Chu Tianyi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Meng, he was excited in his heart, and his tears were about to stay, he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng!" ”
Xiao Meng heard his shout, and soon found Chu Tianyi's location, he turned his head and shouted into the woods, "Found it, Brother Yi is here." ”
Xiao Meng ran towards Chu Tianyi briskly, and shouted, "Brother Yi, hold on!" I'm coming! He rushed forward quickly and grabbed Chu Tianyi's wrist.
At this time, Chu Tianyi no longer had the strength, and relied on Xiao Meng to pull him. At this time, Mu Feng and the bearded man also arrived, and the three of them worked together to pull Chu Tianyi up.
Chu Tianyi sat on the ground paralyzed, panting heavily, and had no strength at all. Xiao Meng picked him up, returned to the edge of the bush, and let him sit against the tree, "Brother Yi, how are you?" ”
Chu Tianyi waved his hand weakly, "I'm fine." The bearded man handed him a bottle of water, and Chu Tianyi took it and took a big sip.
Mu Feng squatted down and asked, "Tianyi, what happened to you just now?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, I just ran into the monster that peeked at us last night, and I also met the ghost hitting the wall." Then, Chu Tianyi recounted the situation he had just encountered.
After Mu Feng and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, their faces were a little strange, Chu Tianyi was a little puzzled, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" By the way, when did you notice I was missing? ”
Mu Feng smiled bitterly, "Actually, we found out that you were missing a long time ago, but when we wanted to look for you, we unknowingly walked into this wood." ”
"Unaware?" Chu Tianyi still didn't understand a little.
Xiao Meng said with a stern expression, "Brother Yi, it's not just you, we have also encountered ghosts hitting the wall. ”
"What?" Chu Tianyi's glasses widened suddenly, "You guys also met?" So how did you get out? ”
Mu Feng smiled, "We're not as smart as you, fortunately, your brother Feng has known some ways in this area over the years, so I was lucky to find the root of fascinating us with ghosts hitting the wall." ”
"Roots?" Chu Tianyi didn't expect Mu Feng to be able to crack it from the root, "What is it?" ”
Xiao Meng walked to the edge of the woods, picked up a long strip of something and threw it at Chu Tianyi's feet, "This is it." Chu Tianyi fixed his eyes and saw that it was a big snake that had almost been cut in two.
The strangest thing is the appearance of this snake, although it has the body of a snake, but it has a strange beast head, a bit like the head of a bat attached to the body of a snake.
Chu Tianyi suddenly remembered why he felt a little strange when he saw the big snake fighting with the monster before, because of its appearance. He looked at Mu Feng, "Could it be that the big snake I saw before is also this thing?" ”
Seeing Mu Feng nodding, Chu Tianyi asked again, "What the hell is this?" ”
"This is called a piano worm," Mu Feng kicked the snake corpse on the ground, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness North Classic" said: In the great wilderness, there is a mountain name that is not salty, and there is the country of the Su Shen clan. There are insects, the head of the beast and the body of the snake, and the name is the piano worm. This non-salty mountain is the name of Changbai Mountain in ancient times, and the piano insect is this thing. ”
"So that's the case," Chu Tianyi nodded, "I didn't expect that there really was such an animal, and the ghost we encountered hit the wall was the ghost it made trouble?" ”
"Yes," Mu Feng explained, "this insect can release a gas that can cause people to hallucinate, so that you can't walk out of the place without knowing it, until you are trapped in it, and it becomes the food of the insect itself." I even suspect that this is the same thing that attacked Xiao Meng before, but it didn't release poison gas at the time. ”
After listening to Mu Feng's explanation, Chu Tianyi was very worried, "Since the qin worm has such an ability, what should we do if we get hit in the future?" ”
