Chapter 268: Purple Blood
The shadow bit Lao Wang and staggered back two steps. Suddenly, it looks like it's a person, but when you look at it again, you feel your scalp tingle and don't look like a person.
It has a distinct head, torso, hands, and legs, however, its head is exceptionally long, at least half as long as a normal person. Moreover, its two arms are also very long, almost to the point of reaching the knees of the legendary arms.
This strange looking thing reminds me of the kind of splint walnut, that is, after the walnut has just grown, it is clamped with a fixed mold, and when the walnut grows, it will become the shape framed by the mold.
I can't imagine how such a "person" was born.
I rushed to the front in one breath, Lao Wang's shoulder was gnawed, and blood flowed, but he was still standing by the tent, refusing to back down a single step. The sound of the bronze fragments, only sounded just now, and the impact on people was not very great, and the guys had already recovered from the chaos, holding the guy in their hands, desperate to go over desperately.
In my hurry, I looked around and found no movement other than this strange thing.
The three guys rushed over the strange thing, and I found that one of the strange thing's arms didn't seem to be very flexible, and it should have been blasted by the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers when the hillock sneaked up on us.
Airplanes.......
At this time, the strange thing shook its head, and suddenly, the vibration sound of the bronze fragments came out at once. The three guys must have been affected, and their footsteps paused in unison, and they couldn't even grasp the crowbar in their hands.
I saw the two pieces of bronze hanging around the strange thing's neck. I've guessed before that this strange thing's use of bronze fragments is very rusty, and it is far less good than the half-cut dog. When the sound of the bronze shards sounded, the three guys and the old king next to the tent were all affected, and the strange thing itself was unsteady, but it was much less affected than us, and the moment the three guys stopped, the strange thing shook its head and pounced.
On its long and somewhat outrageous head, you can still vaguely see the facial features, but no matter what kind of facial features, it looks ugly and abrupt with this long face. Its eyes are small, but its mouth is large, and its teeth are sharp, and if it is bitten by this thing, it will not taste good.
In a flash of lightning, I suddenly remembered the dead half-cut dog. Mu Qiang checked half of the dog's corpse at that time, and felt that it should have been bitten to death by something, although it is not completely confirmed now, but this strange thing must have a major suspicion.
My head was a little stunned by the sound of the bronze shards, but I was still conscious. The three men stood without resistance to the sound of the bronze shards, and stood dizzy, and when the strange thing was about to pounce in front of them, I rushed over in one step, and without thinking about it, raised the Celestial Maiden Scattered Flower in my hand.
Boom!!!
The muzzle of the gun spat out a ball of fire, and at the same time as the gun rang out, the strange thing's body flashed. It reacted quickly, but couldn't get out of the way completely, and was hit in the midfield.
The shot stopped it, and the strange thing felt a pain in his lower back, fell to the ground and rolled around, turned and ran.
This thing must not be let go, and now let it run, maybe when it will sneak over again. I chased after me, Mu Qiang and Lu Zhishen rushed over from the camp over there, and they also wanted to chase after me.
I shook my head at Lu Zhishen and motioned for him to stay, several people in the camp were somewhat affected, and if the three of us ran out of consciousness, there would be no one to protect here. Lu Zhishen stopped and dragged the three guys to the tent, and Mu Qiang and I chased them out.
The Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers can fire two shots, and I chased after the strange thing, waiting for an opportunity to fire another shot. Strange things run fast, and when they run, they are different from normal people, using both hands and feet. After chasing it for two or three hundred meters, the distance was getting bigger and bigger, and I was afraid that it would escape too fast, so I slowed down slightly and fired another shot from behind.
This shot was missed, and the strange thing suffered two losses on the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers, and obviously repelled and feared the gunshot, and when the gun rang out, the speed of the strange thing was a little faster, and it was swishing in the potholes.
I gritted my teeth and chased after it, it was very troublesome to reload the bullets of the Celestial Maiden, and it was impossible to operate it at such a rapid run. I don't care so much, I just chase it, if I let go of this strange thing, maybe I'll have more trouble in the future.
The strange things ran farther and farther, and the distance between them was already thirty or forty meters. Mu Qiang and I were very hard to chase, but we were worried and still refused to give up.
Chased out in one breath for almost a kilometer, Mu Qiang asked me to slow down and reload the bullets, he chased first, my technique was rusty, and I handed over the Heavenly Maiden to Mu Qiang, and chased after him with his feet. Mu Qiang fell behind, jogging and reloading at the same time, and caught up after a while. At this time, it has been chased for two kilometers.
"We're kind of ....... It's a bit of a bit of a catch-up ......."
I looked up and saw that the strange thing was about eighty meters ahead of us. If you continue to run like this, sooner or later you will pursue it. But when I think about what happened in the camp, I feel anxious and angry.
"Chase!" I gritted my teeth, but decided to stay, the terrain around Ta'er Lake was flat, there was no complicated terrain, and there was not much shelter, that strange thing was injured, I didn't believe that its physical strength could be so good all the time, and if it continued to chase after it like this, even if it didn't die of exhaustion, the wound would bleed to death.
Mu Qiang and I almost tried all our strength to chase, and just chased out more than a kilometer, which was similar to what I judged, the speed of the strange thing was not so fast, its wound was not treated, it was bleeding all the time, and it would definitely be greatly affected.
Before we knew it, the two of us were chasing us to the vicinity of the hill, which was only five or six meters high, and the strange thing ran straight to the hill and went around behind the hill. My eyes were on its tracks, but the strange thing ran behind the knoll and didn't seem to run out again, as if it was trying to use the knoll as cover.
"I've run here, what kind of tricks do you want to play." Mu Qiang's adaptability is indeed good, when we found that the strange thing ran behind the hill and didn't show up again, Mu Qiang directly took out the headphones from his pocket and put them on. The mobile phone has no signal in this place, so it is useless, so it can only be used to take pictures, or listen to stored music and watch stored movies. Wearing headphones will inevitably affect the sense of hearing, but it can minimize the impact of bronze shards.
I got to the hill in one breath, but the strange thing still didn't appear, I made a gesture, and the two of them outflanked me one on the left and one on the right. The Celestial Maiden Sanhua has already loaded her bullets, and as long as she sees something strange, she will definitely give it two more shots, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.
We went around very slowly, trying to be safe, the hill was not big, and we went around it in a few steps, but when the two men outflanked the knoll, it was empty, and the strange thing was gone.
I held back the fire and waited to catch up and get this thing out first. But the goal was disappointed, and the whole person seemed to be a little discouraged.
I looked left and right, and behind the hill was a very ordinary sandy area. I didn't believe the strange thing could be invisible, it hid behind the knoll and didn't show its head again, and now it's gone, and my hunch tells me it must still be around.
Mu Qiang didn't speak, he gestured to me, his thoughts were the same as mine, strange things can't disappear out of thin air for no reason, and they can't fly away with wings. It is now either hiding under the sand or in the knoll.
The hill was only five or six meters high, and I gently buckled the sand on it, and it felt as if the sand on the top of the hill had solidified into a piece, like concrete.
Mu Qiang took off his headphones, patted me gently, and then pointed to the ground.
There were drops of blood on the sand, but these few drops of blood were very abnormal. Generally, the blood flows out and is red, and the venous blood may be slightly darker. However, the few drops of blood on the sand were purple, about the same color as purple cabbage.
Mu Qiang stretched out his hand and pinched up a small ball of sand with blood stains, which had just dripped and had not dried up yet. There is no doubt that these blood stains are from the wounds of this strange thing, but I don't know how there can be such purple blood.
The place where the blood dripped, obviously attracted Mu Qiang's attention, he carefully lay on the sand, slowly climbed forward two steps, and stabbed lightly in the sand with a dagger.
"There's something under the sand." Mu Qiang whispered to me, and I temporarily gave up my observation of Xiaoqiu and came to him.
"What's that?"
"It could be wood, but it could also be metal."
Mu Qiang used the tip of his knife to scratch back and forth in the sand a few times, and then pried it vigorously, and I saw a wooden board about one meter in diameter slightly turned up under a thin layer of sand.
The wooden planks are thick, and the outside is covered with a layer of copper skin, which looks like half an old door panel.
As soon as the half of the door panel was removed, a hole was immediately revealed underneath.
The eyes of both of them lit up, and the strange thing ran behind the hill and disappeared, and it must have gotten into the hole.
This small hole is like a thief hole, very deep and a little twisty. The hole is dug diagonally upwards from a deep point below, and it is impossible to see what is going on inside at the mouth of the ground.
"Is there a way to go down and have a look?"
"Mr. Lian, it depends on what you plan to do with that thing, if you want to catch it alive, it may take a lot of work, if you just want to kill it, just put a cannon in the small hole."
I know what Mu Qiang means, the situation in the small hole is unknown, people must not dare to drill into it, if they just want to kill that strange thing, they can throw explosives into the hole. No matter what's going on inside, blow it up.
"Kill it!" The fire in my heart has not been extinguished, this strange thing will not die, it will threaten other people, and now I can't be a saint, and I can't be soft-hearted.
"Mr. Lian, give me the Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers first, I'll guard this hole, and you go back and bring the brown travel bag in the trunk of that Wrangler."
