Volume 2 The Secret Burial of the Cliff Valley_Chapter 144 The Demon Who Seeks His Life
Later, I learned that this phosphorus cylinder is a tool that Ma Tan often uses when they go to the field. It is a small lighting tool made of the principle that white phosphorus is flammable when exposed to air, and it will burn for a long time when thrown out.
But this combustion emits smoke, which is toxic in the smoke.
So Ma Tan and they don't use it often, this time, Xing Mo specially prepared a few phosphorus cylinders on his body in order to prevent accidents.
After Ma Tan threw out the phosphorus cylinder, it quickly burned and emitted thick white smoke.
The white smoke spread in all directions, and the poisonous insects that besieged it avoided it one after another and retreated again.
Xing Mo quickly took out a few masks and handed them to Liang Yue and me: "Put them on, and leave this cave quickly." ”
We understood and put on the masks, and Xing Mo came over to help the third uncle put on the mask as well.
Those poisonous insects were very afraid of this phosphorus smoke, and after quickly retreating, they never followed.
But I heard footsteps behind me, and it seemed that someone was following.
We staggered and scrambled to escape, but this time we chose the right direction and soon came to the entrance of the cave.
That is, under the hollow of the hundred-year-old dead tree.
I looked up, wondering how I could climb up, but I saw a rope made of vines hanging from it.
At this point, we don't have time to think about who put it down, of course, it's about running for our lives.
Ma Tan and Xing Mo urged us to hurry up, and the two of them stayed behind and continued to throw the powder and the few phosphorus cylinders to stop those poisonous insects.
Liang Yue pinned the short knife, tried the strength of the rope, jumped around, and climbed up the rope.
Then she put the rope down and asked me to tie the third uncle's waist, and she dragged her up again.
The poor third uncle, whose body was in the hollow of the tree, knocked more than a dozen times. I said in my heart, if this third uncle knew, he would have to lose his temper, but it was better than staying here and dying.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Tan and Xing Mo and I also grabbed the rope and fled.
I glanced back, and fortunately, during the time we climbed up, Zhou Zheng and that Zou Baizu didn't follow.
And around the abandoned Bird King Temple, the original sand wolf insects have also retreated.
The opportunity must not be missed, we didn't have too many words, we supported each other, and I still carried the third uncle on my back, and retreated quickly towards the path I came.
Because I was carrying the third uncle, my movements were a little slower and I fell last.
Just as I was about to step out of the ruined wall of the Bird King's Temple, a man suddenly rushed out of the slanted thorns.
The man was moving so fast that I didn't even see who he was.
I only saw a white shadow, swept over, and went straight to me and the third uncle.
I was so frightened that it was too late to dodge with the third uncle on my back.
At this time, I suddenly felt a slip behind me, and the third uncle slipped off my back. Before I could understand, I saw the third uncle spewing out a mouthful of blood mist, which was spraying on the face of the person who rushed to me.
At the same time, the third uncle moved like a rabbit, and at some point there was a peachwood sword in his hand, and he shouted, and the sword pierced directly into the eyebrows of the visitor.
This series of movements happened between my breaths. When the man was stabbed by the third uncle, I found out that he was actually there
It's Zou Baizu, the insect king in the cave.
I just don't know when he came out of the ground, and there should be other exits to this cave.
At this time, he was sprayed with blood on the tip of his tongue by the third uncle, and he was stabbed in the center of his eyebrows, but he didn't have any resistance and fell to the ground with a bang. Such a big man was killed by the third uncle in an instant.
Judging from the third uncle's skills in this operation, he is not inferior to Liang Yue, and even surpasses it. Only then did I know that my understanding of the third uncle was probably far from enough. The various hidden attributes of the third uncle are far from those I know.
"Third uncle. You've already woken up and you're still pretending to be unconscious? I shouted with some dissatisfaction.
The third uncle's face was still pale: "Don't talk nonsense." I can't let them see it, otherwise Zhou Zheng will definitely be vigilant and won't let this Zou Baizu take risks easily. We're going to get out of here......"
After such a toss, Liang Yue and the others in front also turned back. Together with us, he re-identified his direction and ran out of the cliff valley.
At this time, I found that although the third uncle's movements had recovered, his face was still very bad.
I asked as I ran, "Third uncle, don't you still have a wisp of remnant soul left here?" Let's just go? ”
The third uncle waved his hand, his strength was a little sluggish, but he still explained to me: "It's been recovered." On Xing Mo's body, my remnant soul is somehow merged with the pure soul on Zou Baizu's body. I asked you to come there just to lure them all out. The time I pretended to be unconscious was to reunite my remnant soul. At the same time, look for opportunities to give the opponent a fatal blow. ”
I remembered that when I was in the cave, a wisp of clear qi did appear from Xing Mo's body, and the clear qi was divided into two, and a small part was on the third uncle's side. Most of them crashed into Zou Baizu.
It turned out that the third uncle had already judged that his wisp of remnant soul was on Xing Mo's body, so he asked me to be the bait.
I looked back, but Zhou Zheng still didn't chase it out.
The third uncle said: "Those mirages appeared, and they all had gentian sand on their bodies, which was a big fortune, and Zhou Zheng's mind was on it, and he would not be distracted to chase us." But ......"
Before the third uncle finished speaking, he heard heavy footsteps from all directions.
The third uncle continued his words and said, "But...... That doesn't mean he won't find another way to trap us. ”
As he spoke, more than a dozen figures appeared in all directions, and except for the one who took the lead, the other figures were not tall, only about one and a half meters.
Their bodies were covered with thick white hair, and their faces were hairy, and they turned out to be a dozen of the kind of mandrills I had ever seen, also called mountain ghosts.
At the same time, behind them, dozens of animals appeared that resembled both dogs and wolves.
Their eyes are fierce, their fangs are bared, and their mouths let out whining lows from time to time.
"It's mandrills and sand wolves." When Ma Tan saw these things, he immediately made a judgment.
It turned out that the animals behind the mandrill were sand wolves, sand wolves that accompanied the sand wolf insects. I guess they're the old dogs. These mountain dogs feed on corpses, and they are even more ferocious and abnormal, and when they see us big living people, each mountain dog has a disgusting saliva from its mouth.
And the mandrill at the head is the flag-bearer, with two stilt-like wooden sticks under his feet, and a spirit flag in his hand at this time.
In one fell swoop, mandrills and dogs from all around gradually surrounded us.
A few of us who had no lethal weapons in our hands were surrounded by this group of brutes, and the fate can be imagined.
No wonder Zhou Zheng wasn't worried about us running out, and he didn't chase it out in person. Presumably he has already prepared, this banner bearer is probably the demon who was controlled by him and came to ask for our lives.
