Chapter 13: The Shadow
Although I answered the words of the ninth master, if something happened in the dense forest, I really couldn't guarantee that something would happen.
The ninth master didn't talk to me in detail, I followed the compass pointer in my hand and turned and touched it. But I'm a little worried.
Walking inside, the dense forest, shrubs, pines, and grasses are all mixed together, and there is a more eerie and strange inside. I didn't dare to look more, lying on the back of Dadun, wanting to close my eyes, but there was always a fear in my heart.
The lit rune paper floated away very quickly, and the nine masters were all trained, and they could catch up with its speed, but the nine masters and the rune paper had been kept at a distance of about five meters, and they didn't get close, I don't know what the ninth master did.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, I was still walking in the dense forest, but now I somehow entered a swamp, where there were layers of puddles under the feet, and the soil and mud were softer, and the wet smell came from a distance from time to time, and I felt more and more uncomfortable.
But the rune paper still floated in the air, and it drifted into the depths of the swamp......
But what puzzled me was that the Ninth Master did not continue to follow the rune paper, but stopped.
I'm curious and want to ask, "Ninth Master......."
The ninth master gave me a look and shook his head.
He expressed his meaning with his body, and I was not good at asking him again.
Although the Ninth Master ignored me, I was shocked when I saw the compass in the Ninth Master's hand. In the compass, the pointer was constantly rotating at this time, and there was no designated direction, so I understood what the ninth master meant.
"Isn't there a big deal?" Uncle Mu on the side asked.
The Ninth Master frowned, staring at the turn of the pointer, "I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble?" ”
I don't know what the Ninth Master means by this? Anyway, not a good sign?
After tinkering for half a night, I saw the ninth master put the compass away, and then threw out a sentence, "Go backwards!" ”
Walking the other way around?
I wondered, do I have to turn back?
Even Uncle Mu didn't quite understand what the Ninth Master meant, "Ninth Master, what do you mean by this?" ”
The Ninth Master glanced at Uncle Mu and said gloomily, "Yes, but I'm afraid of ......"
"Open Fire ......"
Suddenly, not far from us, the rune paper lit by the Ninth Master resurfaced in front of us again.
This time, even the Ninth Master was stunned, listening to the Ninth Master say that there had never been an open flame in the Maoshan Technique, and his face became pale for a while.
"Master, we can't move yet," the roe deer asked.
But the Ninth Master said, it seems to be a powerful master, maybe, maybe.......
Before the ninth master finished speaking, the open fire floated away again, and the ninth master no longer dared to slack off, so he immediately got up and followed.
Following all the way, the open flame flickered on and off, floating in the deep swamp area, which really made people feel a little panicked.
We don't know how long we have been walking along the open fire, but in my mind's eye, it's a long, long road.
Until, the flame was extinguished.......
"Extinguished!"
All of a sudden, several of us were stunned.
This time, even the Ninth Master didn't know the reason, he looked around, and walked towards the location where the open flame was extinguished.
But as soon as the ninth master left, I noticed that there was a problem, I was still a complete person, and suddenly, he was wrapped in a black mist, and with it, in my ears, it seemed that I could hear a strange sound.
The sound was very distinctive, unlike that of a black bear, and it sounded like a cat meowing......
And I followed the sound to see that I looked into the depths of the swamp, and I didn't know whether I was dazzled or short-sighted, and red points of light appeared one after another in the dark swamp.
I also subconsciously pushed Uncle Mu, in fact, Uncle Mu had already found out.
I wanted to ask what it was, but Uncle Mu couldn't say, only said that it might be a ghost, and as for whether it was harmful to himself, I don't know.
But I, that thing flickered and flickered, like a jewel, and if it weren't for the fear, I might have gone to find out.
However, the Ninth Master checked around at this time, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he continued to walk forward.
And Da Dun continued to carry me on his back, and also followed behind the ninth master.
I wanted to see what the red point of light was, and I thought to myself, get closer, but as soon as I walked forward, the red point of light could still move, as if it was moving towards the depths of the swamp again.
Seeing this, it aroused my curiosity even more.
But one after another, I found that the red points of light seemed to keep a distance from me, but I heard Uncle Mu say that they were actually secretly observing us.
I was in a trance, and I didn't know if what Uncle Mu said was true, but at first glance, it seemed to be like it......
But at this time,
Walking into the depths of the swamp, I noticed that it was even darker, with layers of eerie dampness, and I seemed to smell a rancid smell......
I glanced at Uncle Mu, and Uncle Mu also realized that something was wrong, and he was busy telling me to prepare.
At this time, Jiu Ye had already probed into a ditch, but as soon as he entered the ditch, suddenly, I saw a noisy movement in the ditch......
Uncle Mu also hurried to the ditch, while I and the roe deer squatted down and observed the surroundings.
"Ninth Master!"
"Bang-"
Accompanied by a gunshot rang out.
I saw that the Ninth Master seemed to have been knocked out by something huge and slammed into the thick pine and cypress.
But the ninth master is very good, he is not like me, he hooked the pine and cypress with his rope, and he dodged it.
And it was Uncle Mu who shot him, and Uncle Mu may have been carried away and made a big mistake.
This made the ninth master angry, and he couldn't wait for him to go down the tree directly to hammer him in the head.
……
After the gunshot, I saw a two-metre-high wave floating in the water, and after the wave passed, calm returned.
The Ninth Master also got down from the tree, and I wanted to turn around, get closer, and take another closer look.
Can you turn around......
The red dot of light ....... not ....... this.......
At this time, a black leather face covered with a layer similar to a pimple appeared, and the face was extremely terrifying, and the red gem I had always thought was the eyes of this ghost.
It was a pair of fierce red eyes, and it just stared at me, and my scalp was almost numb.......
Curiously, it didn't intend to hurt me, but glanced at me and disappeared from my sight......
The ninth master rushed over, he actually found out that the situation was not good, and when he saw my stunned appearance, he wanted to catch up, but the speed of the ghost thing was too fast, and it disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that he didn't catch up, the ninth master could only slow down temporarily.
"Wind ......"
The Ninth Master nudged my lower body.
I reacted and glanced at him.
"What do you see?" The Ninth Master continued to ask.
