【073】Facing death
The village chief died, died inexplicably, and died a terrifying death. The plant on his head was extraordinarily vigorous and rubbing. It seemed to be set on his head, and it grew very large, and many tentacles grew on the branches. These tentacles flutter and sway in the air, as if looking for something to hold it up, or a new source of food.
Xu Qian looked at Zhiqing nervously, and was so shocked that she was cold.
"Brother-in-law......"
Zhiqing, who could see it, was shouted out of thin air, and he shuddered with a shiver, and he turned slightly sideways and asked, "...... Something? ”
"Don't get close to ......" Xu Qian looked at the strange dancing plants, and hurriedly admonished in her heart.
"It's okay...... I'll take a look at ......" Zhiqing not only did not leave, but took a step closer, squatting down to see clearly. At this moment, there was a rumor outside about the sound of talking and the sound of the shack planks clashing. Heavy breathing, heavy steps, the person who came in was Zhong Kui, who was extremely tired.
Xiao Ming poured a glass of water and handed it to the master.
Vanilla moved her mouth, her face was full of surprise, and her eyes were full of melancholy and uneasiness, and she wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him deeply, and a thousand words were all in silence. Her eyes were fixed on the strange plant, and no one dared to touch it, and she ignored the origin of the plant.
Wengen's complicated demeanor and worried look. When he saw Zhong Kui, his eyes were confused, looking left and right, a little absent-minded.
Only Zhiqing didn't react to Zhong Kui, still maintaining his previous demeanor, looking at the strange growing plant in a daze with interest.
What kind of plant is this? Only the ghosts and elves can explain it. In the same way, Zhong Kui thinks Zhiqing is a little fascinated.
At this time, the village chief's face had shrunk so that the outline of every bone was clearly visible, like under a transparent piece of paper, his life was over, and the only thing left was a pair of human skin masks. The body wrapped under his clothes was no different from the hole, and now he was completely quiet, and he no longer felt the pain of his splitting headache. Except for the slight tremor of the stalk, the incomparably evil plant had drained his blood, as well as his viscera and muscles.
Zhong Kui's face was gloomy, and he shouted at them to drag Zhiqing away together, as far away from the strange plant as possible. He was horrified that the stalk of the plant had been cut off from the village chief's scalp, so why did it continue to grow?
"Get out of this hut and go outside......
Xu Qian and the others supported each other and got up to leave.
Zhiqing looked very reluctant, and frequently looked back at the plant that had bloomed. The flower plate is fat, like a person's face, and the illusion is that a person is laughing. It will feel unnaturally psychedelic and psychedelic.
Zhong Kui didn't tell them, and the moment he returned, he had already discovered the problem. The reason why they in the shack didn't have a big reaction to his return. It was all because of this strange plant, bewitching consciousness. If he came back a little later, the consequences would be unimaginable, maybe Xu Qian and they would have become plant food.
And the end result of them will be like the village chief.
Zhong Kui knew that it would be in vain to tell them now. Before the plants were destroyed, their minds were still half-asleep and half-awake. At present, only by destroying the plants with flames while they are not yet in the trap can they avoid future troubles.
Zhiqing, who had just walked out of the shack door, suddenly turned around, and ran towards the plants while Zhong Kui was not paying attention...... It's amazing, and if you let him touch the plants, it's terrible.
Between the electric light and flint, a loud slap made Zhiqing's face hurt hotly. In the end, he was forcibly pulled away by Xiao Ming, Wen Gen and Xu Qian to be quiet.
Zhong Kui was dull and angry, and his eyes were as far away as possible from the flower plate of the plant. Burst! A crimson flame burst out of his mouth...... Under the roasting of the flames, the plants gradually withered, and the flower discs suddenly spread out, making strange noises.
Outside the shack, they only heard a shrill scream, and they didn't know how Zhong Kui was handling plants. The strange cry was like the cry of a piglet.
When the plant and the village chief's skeleton turned into ashes, Zhong Kui was also tired enough. He was not at ease, so he looked at them one by one, and then walked out of the shack door tiredly.
Without shelter to live in, the cold hit, and they urgently needed to get on board.
The sky overhead was gray, and the twinkling light of the stars could not be seen, and it was pitch black all around. Except for the occasional sound of the lake crashing against the shore, everything is still asleep.
Facing the empty lake, Zhong Kui felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He glanced at Wengen and asked, "What about the others?" ”
Oh, yes! What about others? Wasn't there still several people when they woke up before? Why are there only Xu Qian, Wengen, Xiao Ming, Zhiqing, and Zhong Kui left now? The people brought by the village chief, except for one who was smashed after being frozen, what about the rest of the people?
"Don't look for it, they must have sailed away." Zhong Kui sighed heavily, feeling helpless.
This is undoubtedly another heavy blow. The boat had one of Zhong Kui's boats, and the village chief and a few of them had a boat to prevent them from running, so when Li Laoqi came, he asked him to pull the boat away.
The cold wind whipped on everyone's face. They had to go and see the village chief's hut to see if they could stay overnight. Zhong Kui took the lead to check the environment as usual, and if it was safe, he should be able to stay for a night, and when it was dawn, Li Laoqi might come to their rescue.
The village chief's shack is a little messy, but in this helpless situation, there should be no problem to stay for one night. The attacking plants have been wiped out, the haze evil spirits are gone, the dream spirits are gone, and there are no more creatures that can threaten their lives. You should be able to take a good rest, so that everyone's tense nerves are relaxed a little.
The ghost spirit was released by Zhong Kui from the cloth bag, and the purpose of letting her out was to ask her to tell everything that happened here. The ghost elf is not so easy to deal with, and she has to attach another condition, which is to ask Zhong Kui to give her a chance to be a reincarnated person.
Ghost elves aren't evil either. She saved Xu Qian's life, and also helped him find the lair of the haze evil spirit, so Zhong Kui had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
Regarding the uninhabited island incident, Xu Qian and the others still have a little bottom in their hearts, but they don't know how different the story told by the ghosts and elves is from their speculation.
Next, the ghosts and elves tell them the secrets of the uninhabited island.
Ignore the story told by the centenarian in Dead Water. The ghost elves started with a group of secret troops stationed on an uninhabited island......
