track down
"Can you go faster?"
"Don't make a noise, do you think it's easy to find footprints in this forest?"
"It's really not that hard." The girl muttered.
The two people who spoke were naturally Shen Lingshuang on the other end of the communicator and Xiang Nanxing who was hurrying. Judging from the slightly shaking picture, Shen Lingshuang was also walking, but she had to go far away in order to play a "sniper who suppressed the scene", and it took a lot of time to come around. In addition, Nangong Qian left in the opposite direction to where she was, which also increased the time it took for her to rush here.
According to her, it will take some time, plus the cost of finding a way. However, this communicator has a positioning function, as long as Xiang Nanxing finds it, she can ensure that she gets an accurate location. With the skills of the host, it is enough to cut through the forest and move forward straight, saving some time. Therefore, the sooner Xiang Nanxing finds Nangong Qian, the sooner she can determine the best route.
Xiang Nanxing can't say that he doesn't work hard at this time. He was carrying the suitcases of the two of them in both hands, and he was also carrying the combination gun left by Nangong Qian on his back, which was equivalent to a person carrying the full set of equipment of the two of them on his back, and in this case, he had to struggle to find the shallow footprints left by Nangong Qian from the dirt road in front of him, and in this case, he could still keep moving, which was already good.
"This guy is really going to cause trouble." Xiang Nanxing muttered.
Shen Lingshuang glanced at him through the screen: "Obviously, you are more troublesome." If you hadn't been frustrated, she wouldn't have come up with such an idea to help you. ”
"I don't remember asking you to help me." Xiang Nanxing said angrily, "And you're the host, why do you mess around with her?" Aren't you very strict in your rules? ”
"Alas, it's not that Sister Qiu said that she wants to let you experience more and can't let you have an accident......"
Shen Lingshuang stopped his mouth halfway through speaking, but unfortunately it was too late. Xiang Nanxing stopped, picked up the communicator and looked at Shen Lingshuang on the other side of the screen with a suspicious expression: "Who is Sister Qiu?" ”
Shen Lingshuang pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Autumn and half summer?" Xiang Nanxing only remembered such a guy surnamed Qiu. Although Shen Lingshuang didn't admit it, she knew that both of them were hosts, and they both had something to do with herself, and she was the only one who met these two characteristics.
"I can't see that she takes special care of me." Xiang Nanxing sneered. The sentence that Shen Lingshuang accidentally said just now was not ordinary information, and Xiang Nanxing, who was good at association, almost immediately thought of the situation when the two first met. At that time, Shen Lingshuang made a contract with the killer demon in order to rescue Nangong Qian who was trapped in the villa, and improvised a game and was anxious to find players to participate in it. In that case, she found Xiang Nanxing and invited him to participate, which seemed reasonable.
However, looking back now, although there are not many players on the island, he is by no means the only one left. The reason why Shen Lingshuang found him was not necessarily just because of luck.
What role did Qiu Banxia play in this, and what were her intentions?
Xiang Nanxing doesn't plan to think about such a question for the time being. He rubbed his temples, which were a little painful, and planned to get Nangong Qian back first. However, when he stopped, he accidentally noticed something that was difficult to find when he walked around just now.
"This smells ......" he sniffed, a puzzled expression.
Shen Lingshuang on the other side of the screen couldn't smell the smell, only saw his expression different: "What's wrong?" ”
"The smell of sulfur." Xiang Nanxing said.
Of course, there is no smell of sulfur in a normal wood, unless there is a hidden hot spring or something, but this is not a mountain. Xiang Nanxing's expression suddenly became alert, he put the small box back on his waist, the suitcase was in one hand, and the other hand took out a multi-functional military shovel from it. This is the most useful piece of equipment he has acquired in a supply crate, and can be used to chop down branches and leaves that block his way, gather food, and so on while traversing the woods.
At this time, he used it as a weapon, and carefully advanced in front of him.
The smell of sulfur wafted from the left, and as Xiang Nanxing left the main road and walked into it, the smell that was originally so faint that it was difficult to detect gradually became stronger. Xiang Nanxing's heart was even more vigilant. There is something abnormal, almost demonic, of course he will not be simple enough to think that this is a clue falling from the sky, it is very likely that this is actually something that someone deliberately let him discover.
He clenched the shovel in his hand and moved forward step by step. In terms of skill, he hasn't been able to reach the level of silence that some masters have, and the fallen leaves in the forest are already easy to make noises, and if anyone is waiting there, he will still be discovered after all.
So he simply did not deliberately hide his footprints, but focused his mind on the shift of center of gravity when he took each step, and listened for any unusual sounds ahead. With him forty or fifty meters, the smell of sulfur was already so strong that it was a little uncomfortable, and at this moment, Xiang Nanxing's ears finally caught the sound of falling leaves being stirred.
Rustle, rustle. There was silence ahead, but it reacted violently as if it had suddenly noticed his approach. Xiang Nanxing paused suddenly, half-hid sideways behind the tree next to him, grasped the military shovel tightly with one hand, and released a suitcase with the other, but blocked it with another one. He waited there for a while, only to find that the rustle of the leaves was only continuous, but he had no intention of approaching.
Do you want to wait and see for a while, or do you want to take the initiative?
After a brief hesitation, Xiang Nanxing continued to move forward. After walking more than ten meters and passing through the barrier of a big tree, he finally saw the source of the rustling sound.
"What are you doing here?" Xiang Nanxing's first reaction was only to cry or laugh.
In front of him, Nangong Qian's petite body was tightly bound by several belt-like things. Her thighs and calves were folded and tied together, and she could only sit on her knees, her hands seemed to be tied behind her back, and the extra belt wrapped tightly around the trunk behind her, and then around her white neck, and finally crossed in front of her, fixing her to the trunk, and forcing her to only push forward and maintain an awkward position.
And she still has something like a time bomb strapped to her chest, and there is a red LCD screen on it that is pretending to count down, seeing that the time has come to the last twenty minutes, and the countdown continues. This is the source of this strange sulfur smell. As is often seen in the movies, the bomb will explode when the timer reaches zero.
"What kind of ...... are you playing" Xiang Nanxing shook his head, "Ah forget it, you can't answer like this now, right?" ”
Nangong Qian's mouth was stuffed with something like a jaw ball at this time, and it was also marked with a bomb pattern, which looked a little funny. This would also explain why she only made a rustling sound by moving her body desperately, instead of directly calling for help.
Hearing Xiang Nanxing say this, Nangong Qian shook her head as if she had something to say, and a low whine sounded from her mouth.
"Don't make a fuss, it's not interesting to play the same story twice, let alone have been spotted once at the beginning." Xiang Nanxing said as he walked over to her and bent down, looking down at the belt that bound her.
"Yo, it's still really tied, don't you feel like this?" Xiang Nanxing tried to pull the belt with a little force, but he felt that the whole thing was tight, and it was indeed not a decoration. On closer inspection, Nangong Qian's hands are indeed tied behind her back, and it doesn't look like that kind of trick like a magic knot. And Nangong Qian's fair-skinned neck even had an extra red mark because of the friction of the belt, if this was another scene, she would indeed be enough.
The moment the two of them looked at each other, Nangong Qian's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a somewhat sad and anxious expression.
"Could it be that you cooperated with that Qiu Banxia, and then you were cheated by the latter, and the fake show was really tied here?"
Xiang Nanxing suddenly realized. If it is with the elusive temperament of Qiu Banxia, it is indeed possible to tie up Nangong Qian, who originally planned to be in the middle of the ambush, in order to pursue dramatic effects. Just looking at the other party's reaction now, it seems that things are more than that.
"You'd better say it yourself."
Xiang Nanxing said as he stretched out his hand to remove the jaw ball that was set on Nangong Qian's mouth. However, the latter suddenly struggled desperately. Originally, her neck had been covered by a belt, and it was difficult to move above her head, but at this time, she seemed to have no idea about the pain that might be caused by doing so, and only desperately shook her head to avoid Xiang Nanxing's hand.
She shook her head as she let out a whining moan from the depths of her throat, not knowing whether she was crying out for pain or wanting to warn Xiang Nanxing about something. Or maybe it's just that the woman is losing her temper again?
"Alright, don't mess with you." Xiang Nanxing was also a little impatient. No matter how hard Nangong Qian struggled, she was tied there after all, and there was only a little space for her head to move. It didn't take much effort for Xiang Nanxing to grab the jaw ball and undo the ring that was originally fastened behind her head. However, a bigger problem arose, Nangong Qian's teeth clenched the jaw ball, as if she wanted to compete with Xiang Nanxing for it, and in this case, Xiang Nanxing didn't dare to push too hard, the two were so stalemate for a few seconds, and finally Xiang Nanxing took a breath and let go of his hand first.
"What kind of temper are you doing?" He frowned, "Yes, I was also wrong just now, I didn't notice your kindness at all and criticized it directly." But I can apologize for this, why don't you even want to say anything? ”
Nangong Qian's nervous expression relaxed slightly. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze drifted to the side, as if she was thinking about how to explain the current situation to Xiang Nanxing. Who knew that at this moment, Xiang Nanxing suddenly stretched out his hand and took advantage of her distraction to take down the jaw ball that was originally bitten in her mouth!
"Okay, now we can talk properly......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sharp shout. "Throw it away!" Nangong Qian shouted, straightening up as if to bounce off the ground, but was tightly bound to the trunk by the belt on her body.
"Throw it away! Fast! Her pretty face turned pale, and even her voice changed tone. Although Xiang Nanxing didn't know what was going on, it was the first time he had seen this woman who usually looked cold so out of shape. In a hurry, he didn't want to directly follow Nangong Qian's instructions, and threw the little thing in his hand aside with force. Small jawball balls flew out in an arc, grazed a few trees and flew deep into the woods.
"Okay, what the hell do you mean by that......"
Xiang Nanxing withdrew his hand and was about to ask what was going on, when a sudden bang made his whole person freeze instantly. He subconsciously turned his head, only to see a small fireball rising from the direction he had just thrown the jaw ball.
He was dumbfounded: that little thing, which didn't seem to be a threat, was a small bomb! Real bombs!
