At first, I was only annoyed that Lao Tie was angry with his subordinates for telling some secrets behind it, but when I saw him move his feet for the third time, I couldn't help but be suspicious. stepped forward and kicked his foot away vigorously, took a fire and shone it, but did not find anything under his feet, and was about to retreat, but he heard one after another suddenly shout behind him: "Oh no, he has something hidden in his trousers!" ”

My face changed, and I instinctively reached out to grab it, but Lao Tie rolled backwards to dodge, as if something had fallen from him. One after another, he had already flashed over, and without hesitation, he put the black pipe against Lao Tie's head and pressed one knee against his back. I saw that I had already taken the person, so I didn't look too much, and hurriedly took the torch and looked down to search, but I found that at the foot of the place where Lao Tie was sitting just now, there was black powder hidden in the soil, because it was black, and the woodland was wet and rotten due to a rain last night, so the powder basically melted into the ground.

It is almost impossible to know what these powders are, and Lao Tie's motives ...... As soon as my thoughts turned to this, I heard a very low boo beside me, and I turned my head in shock, and my heart trembled when I saw the honest man lying on the ground with a thin tube in his mouth.

We were fooled!

Without a moment's hesitation in his mind, one pounced, slapped his palm on the man's mouth, slashed sharply across his palm, and pulled out of his mouth with a thin tube between his fingers. A quick glance at the sight showed that it was really a thin steel pipe similar to that in a dry well, and I had analyzed where it was used earlier, so I was naturally not naïve to think that it was just used for casual blowing.

Instinctively looked around, sharpened my ears to listen, everything was silent, and even the smallest sound could be amplified. It's a creepy sound, because it doesn't come from all around, but from the ground where we are treading on it. As if his feet were stepping on a hollow sphere, a small sound came out, and the scene of the cave beehive flashed through his mind, and he shouted in surprise: "One after another, go quickly, the black-skinned snake is coming." ”

But listening to Lao Tie's sneer, it was particularly weird under the night sky, and the gloomy voice was not from him, but another slightly old voice: "Do you think you can still run?" ”

The first reaction was to pause in his head, then to look in slow motion, and when he found a shadow of a tree, he paused. My back was cold, and I didn't know when I was standing there, but my alertness was so low!

Under the shadow of the tree, a black shadow stood, slightly bloated but tall.

Hearing Lao Tie's gloomy and happy laughter: "Uncle Ping, I came so slowly, half of my life is almost gone." ”

Uncle Ping! My heart trembled, I had heard this name just now, it was the person who was in the beast taming field with Lao Tie.

There was a soft snort in the darkness, and an old and hoarse voice came: "I have solved two inferior ones along the way, and I have also searched the whereabouts of my wolf child, and it is neither early nor too late to arrive here." Seeing that you are not living well, can you still lead them to delay time? ”

Obviously, it seems that Uncle Ping is a little away from us, but the voice is like being close, which shows that although he is an old man, he has a lot of energy. This is still second, the main thing is that in the time of his words, the ground in front of his feet, the dirt loosens, and a steady stream of swimming snake heads emerge, snorting letters.

He grabbed Lao Tie close to me one after another, and stepped on the person lying on the ground, and the black pipe firearm was aimed at the black shadow. Thankfully, we still have this lethal weapon, which should make the other side fearful. But just after thinking about it like this, the man named Uncle Ping spoke: "The thunderbolt musket in your hand is filled with a total of ten rounds of fire powder, do you think you can burn these snakes with these ten rounds of fire?" Believe it or not, if I blow a few times, the birds and beasts of the forest will obey my commands. ”

My face turned pale, and I believe that the successive expressions will not be easy to see at this time. If the firearm is really like this, there are only ten rounds of phosphorus fire powder, then I clearly remember that Lao Tie used nearly ten rounds before, which means that this black pipe may have run out of ammunition, and even if there is, it will be one or two rounds of fire at most? There are three of them, and obviously this one named Uncle Ping can also blow and manipulate snakes, he should have followed the black powder that Lao Tie secretly shook off.

It's only that we are in a hurry to walk, and it is night, and it is impossible to notice that he is secretly using poison while walking. The most incomprehensible thing is that the person who is under his feet one after another has obviously surrendered and told all their secrets, why did he suddenly reverse it?

Lao Tie was close, and when he saw the doubts on my face, he sneered and said, "Sister, are you so easy to betray as a person here?" Everyone has signed a book of life and death, not only himself, but also his family, do you think he dares to use his entire net worth to be a traitor? ”

The Book of Life and Death? It is exaggerated, but it tells us from another perspective that they have no conditions for betrayal. I was still thinking about this, when suddenly a gust of wind swept around me, and in the blink of an eye, I swept out one after another, and the target was the figure that had been standing in the darkness.

In fact, I thought about it just now, since this Uncle Ping has quietly approached and grasped the overall situation, why doesn't he come closer, but always stands in the dark corner ten meters away from us? I intuitively feel that there is something wrong with this person, and in this situation, it is best to capture the thief and capture the king first, and take down this person when the snake has not completely burrowed out of the hole.

But when he was about to approach the withered black shadow one after another, he suddenly had a bad premonition, and he didn't want to shout: "Successively, wait a minute." But he was too fast to stop, and when he saw the silver light shining, he drew his long knife, and just as the long knife rested on the other man's shoulder, I found that he was all frozen.

My heart jumped a beat inexplicably, it shouldn't be this kind of reaction, and I rushed over one after another to either fight with people, or directly take a few words of intimidation, it shouldn't be so silent and silent.

I was just about to ask each other, but suddenly I thought of something, and when I turned my head sideways, my face changed greatly, what about Lao Tie?

Looking around in fright, the night was dark, and there was no figure to be seen at all. Looking back at the ground, the man was still lying there, but he seemed to have fainted, and there was no trace of any snake where the snake's head was moving.

"Come back soon! Lao Tie ran away! ”

Fang Ben stood stiffly one after another and woke up like a dream, turned around and quickly swept back in front of me, and the fire lit up, seeing that his face was pale, he couldn't help asking: "What happened to you just now?" ”

He didn't bother to answer, and dropped a sentence: "You are waiting here." So he shot out into the darkness, knowing that he was going to search for Lao Tie, and that the time was short, and it was impossible to run too fast. But after about ten minutes, he came back alone with a pale face, and I walked up to him, and I heard him say in a bad tone: "We have been tricked!" ”

took me to the shadow of the tree one after another, and when I saw the black shadow clearly, I sighed: I really fell into the plan, and I fell into the plan of Lao Tie.

Where is there any Uncle Ping, it is simply the corpse of a flower panda standing there. Rushing to him one after another, when the long knife crossed his shoulder, he saw that it was a flower panda, and he didn't know that he was dead, almost all over his body were cold hairs stood up, and his muscles were stiff. Obviously, he gave the order to attack in his mind, but he couldn't raise his hand, and for a moment, he seemed to be caught in the situation of killing the flower panda before.

It wasn't until I screamed and woke him up that I suddenly realized that the flower panda in front of me had not moved from beginning to end, nor had any attack, it was a dead corpse. At that time, he retreated without looking closely, and when he looked closely, he found that the sharp tip of the blade on the panda's chest drilled out, went around his back, and held a cool breath in his throat, followed by blood clotting all over his body.

In the back of the panda's heart, three inches below its neck, a thick steel pipe pierces straight in, but the tail end is pressed against the stump, thus supporting its weight and preventing it from falling down after death. The steel pipe is close to the back of the panda, and several small rectangular mouths are lined up side by side. There is no need to look closely, and it has been seen that this kind of steel pipe is the same as the one we found at the bottom of the dry well, and the one used by Lao Tie and others to strike before.

It seems that there are a lot of such steel pipes, and as soon as I thought about it, I heard the sudden words next to me one after another: "This is the one we brought out of the dry well." I turned my head to look at him in surprise, "How do you know?" He squinted his eyes one after another and said with a stern expression: "I have carefully observed it, and there is a circle of scratches on its head. ”

When I heard this, I immediately approached to take a look, and sure enough, there was a circle of extremely obvious fine lines in the grip of this steel pipe. But this does not mean that the rest of the steel pipes do not have similar fine lines as this, and they point to the small long mouth of the steel pipe one after another, "You see, there is still yellow sand embedded in the mouth here." ”

I still remember that in order to explain to me the mystery of Huang Shalin, he pierced the thick steel pipe into the sand about a foot or so, and his head was still stained with wet mud. When he pulled out the steel pipe one after another, with the sound of the flower panda slamming to the ground, he wiped the blood stains from the tip with a rag, and the black clay inside the mouth of the pipe was very obvious. By this time, it was certain that it was the one we found in the dry well.

Then the question arises, who brought this tube here and killed the flower panda? This flower panda doesn't know if it's the one that escaped before, if it is, then it really has a fate, and it didn't escape the fate of death after all.

At this time, it is not a question of which panda is being studied, but the memory is backtracked, the steel pipe came out of the dry well and was originally held in the hands of successively, but later it was led to the mouth of Shalinkou by a madman, and attacked the two indigenous men, and from then on, the steel pipe in the hands of successive hands was put down.

Apparently recalling the scene one after another, he said hesitantly, "I remember it as if it were...... It was taken away by Brother Liang without knowing that it was a madman. ”

Taken by them? Did they kill this panda when they were escaping?

As soon as the question came out, it was overturned one after another: "They didn't kill it." Judging from the blood coagulation of this panda after death, it was not long after its death, and when we met the madman and Brother Liang before, they no longer had this steel pipe in their hands, and it was obviously lost in the escape. At the point of time, they don't correspond, especially Brother Liang is injured now, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to fight it with the strength of a madman alone. You look at the strength of this shot, the situation at that time must have been very fast and accurate, a knife directly stabbed into the back of the panda's heart, and then put the tail of the pipe on the tree. ”
