Chapter 234: The Tiger Gets in the Way
It was nearly ten o'clock when McQuay and I set off from Buntian City, but this so-called living immortal was not hiding in the depths of the mountains.
The mountain man walked with us for more than two hours, and then he didn't stop, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the big mountain in front of us, and said, "The soul continuation mage lives behind that big mountain, there are several temples there, you can see it when you walk to it, I can't send you any further!" ”
McQuay didn't force it either.
Because the road conditions when he came were not particularly complicated, and McQuay also deliberately left markings along the way, so he was not afraid that he would get lost when he went back.
So McQuay gave the mountain man the few thousand dollars he had promised him, and the mountain man thanked us again and again, and then he turned back happily.
The two of us looked at the mountain and walked on again, when McQuay suddenly stopped, as if sensing something.
"What's wrong?" I saw that he was vigilant, and I became nervous.
"Something is snooping on us!" McQuay said, looking around, and quickly cast his eyes on the jungle in front of him.
I believe that with his experience as a "supernatural" investigator for almost three years, he could not go wrong with his feelings.
So I couldn't help but hold my breath and cast my eyes in that direction as well.
Then I heard a loud roar coming out of the dense forest.
The roar was so deafening that I jumped up to McQuay and exclaimed, "What is this thing calling?" ”
"It should be a big beast like a tiger or a lion!" McQuay replied.
I was taken aback.
Although I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, I dare not say that I can have the ability to fight tigers with Wu Song.
Just as he was about to ask McQuay what to do, he heard a fishy wind blowing in his nose, and as described, a behemoth with colorful fur slowly walked out of the dense forest in front of him.
It was so startled that the small birds and beasts in the surrounding trees squeaked and scurried, and even the birds and finches in the treetops fluttered their wings and flew away.
I know that tigers are endangered all over the world, but I didn't expect to see a tiger in the wild today.
Moreover, this tiger is so huge, looking at its head to tail about three meters, and weighs at least more than two hundred kilograms, if it pounces on me, even if I have martial arts, it will be difficult for me to have a chance to live.
So I tensed my whole body and glanced at McQuay, but I didn't expect him to be full of excitement, and while staring at the tiger with all his heart, he whispered to me, "Move slowly away from me, I'll draw its attention to me, you get too close to me, be careful of hurting you!" ”
I suddenly remembered that he was wearing a high-pressure flying needle on his wrist, and according to the power he described, not to mention a tiger, even two or three, he could deal with it.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and saw the tiger's fierce eyes turn around, and I couldn't help but look at me and McQuay, and I could only move my feet sideways without moving, trying to get away from McQuay.
Not wanting me to move a little, the tiger immediately focused his attention on me.
I secretly cried out in my heart, for fear that the tiger would immediately pounce on me.
McQuay laughed "hahahaha" at this time, laughing and dancing at the same time, completely provocative.
The tiger immediately cast its eyes on McQuay, and its hair stood on end, as if it was ready to attack McQuay.
I scrambled and quickly dodged to more than three meters from McQuay.
But the tiger roared again at this time, and it only shook the mountains and forests, and the earth trembled.
The shadow flickered as I watched as the tiger lunged towards McQuay.
I knew that McQuay was hiding a sharp weapon, but I couldn't help but exclaim, "Be careful! ”
But he saw McKevely dodge the wrong step, dodging the direction of the tiger's direct attack, and at the same time raised his left hand and waved at the tiger.
I didn't see anything, after all, the high-pressure flying needle was as thin as a cow's hair, and it was difficult to see it with the human eye alone.
However, as soon as the tiger pounced, it quickly turned around and wanted to pounce again, but it was already weak, and this pounce just fell off the ground, and its front legs were weak and came directly to gnaw on the mud.
I saw it struggling to lift its huge head, as if it wanted to yell at McQuay again, but before it could do so, it had already crawled to the ground, and after a little struggle, it did not move.
I couldn't help but be secretly shocked in my heart, I really didn't expect the high-pressure flying needle to be so powerful, but in the blink of an eye, it had already knocked a huge tiger to the ground.
McQuay jumped up, raised an eyebrow at me, and said, "How's it going?" Pretty powerful, right? ”
"It's really amazing!" I was heartily amazed, "How many flying needles did you shoot when you knocked down such a big tiger?" ”
"Four! It may be too much, and this tiger may not be able to wake up within two days! ”
McQuay looked a little remorseful, and as he spoke, he untied the watch-like high-pressure flying needle from his wrist.
"After all, the tiger is a threatened species, and I really don't want it to be in a coma for too long and be attacked by other beasts! But then, you should understand that joining our organization and becoming a paranormal investigator is not as dangerous as you think, right? ”
McQuay was right, that's exactly how I feel at the moment.
I've been a little wavering, wanting to enjoy the freedom of a "supernatural investigator" but also fearing that I won't be able to bear it.
But now that I've seen the power of these high-tech self-defense devices on McQuay's body, I do feel that if I really join the "Occult Investigation Alliance", thrills will definitely be inevitable, but as long as I am careful, I can basically do it without danger.
McQuay flipped the unconscious tiger over and slid the back of the watch-like high-pressure flying needle he had just untied against the tiger's chest and abdomen.
I was very curious and asked him what he was doing, and he told me: "The material used in this high-pressure flying needle is very special, and after each use, we will recycle it and send it back to the headquarters, and ask the technicians at the headquarters to help us refill the anesthetic!" ”
As he spoke, he left the tiger's fur with the high-pressure flying needle in one hand, and said, "Look! ”
I took a closer look, and sure enough, I saw that on the back of the high-pressure flying needle, there were four shiny silver needles pasted onto it.
It is estimated that the back shell of this high-pressure flying needle is a piece of metal with strong magnetic properties, which can easily absorb the high-pressure flying needle from the body of the beast.
McQuay then took out a small box in the shape of a long strip and carefully placed four silver needles into it.
I suddenly thought to myself, and said, "How could a tiger be such a threatened species, and suddenly one of them came out of the way when we approached the so-called living immortal dwelling?" Do you think this tiger was specially attacked by the living immortals? ”
"Probably not!" McQuay shook his head, "I'm sure this tiger is wild, not like someone raised it!" ”
"I mean, if you control your gray ghost, it's sure it's the soul of a living immortal?" I say.
McQuay thought about it for a moment, and he understood.
"It's possible!" He nodded quickly, "Although the brainwaves of beasts are not the same as those of humans, ghosts...... It's hard for a soul or something like to completely control a beast, but if you lure this tiger here to intercept us, you should be able to do it! ”
"The brainwaves of wild beasts are not the same as those of humans", Zhang Xiaoyun once told me.
And although Zhang Xiaoyun can't completely control the beast, it is not difficult to make the beast go east and west.
So I nodded in agreement with McQuay's analysis.
I was about to say a word when a whistle sounded in my head.
This time it sounded directly in my head, not through my ears.
I was startled and immediately turned to look at McQuay.
McQuay was looking up, too, looking around wary.
"You heard the whistle too, didn't you?" I asked McQuay, naturally lowering my voice.
"I hear you!" McQuay nodded, "It's supposed to be a ghost or something calling!" ”
"That's the cry of the grey ghost, I've heard it before......"
I was about to remind McQuay that the whistle was probably a gray ghost drinking a black ghost, but before I could finish a sentence, there were already a succession of seven or eight black shadows, five or six meters away from me and McQuay, out of thin air.
I already know that these black shadows look scary, but they don't have the ability to attack humans directly.
But seeing a group of black shadows in front of me, and all of them exuding an eerie and vicious temperament, I still felt the hairiness on my body and the palms of my hands cold.
McQuay had already shaken out his delicate stun rod and said with a smile: "You poor things who are manipulated should be gathered today, right?" Acquaintances should hurry back to your original body, or don't blame me for destroying you! ”
The ghosts were motionless, just gloomy in front of us.
I looked around tremblingly, and whispered to McQuay: "These are the souls of living people, they look scary, but they don't have much ability, we just need to be careful not to let that gray ghost come close!" ”
"You can rest assured of this!" McQuay also replied in a low voice, "Whether it is the soul of a living person or a ghost after death, when it is close, the surrounding aura will definitely change!" Before, that thing invaded my body while I was asleep, but now I was on full alert, and as soon as it came within three meters of me, I could detect it immediately! You, on the other hand, don't have a weapon against ghosts, so you'd better stay close to me! ”
I have no doubt about McVier's ability, after all, he has been a member of the "Paranormal Case Investigation Alliance" for almost three years, and if he hadn't mastered some extraordinary skills, he would not have been able to make it to this point.
