Chapter 58: Mutants?
Xiang Qingwu and Lu Yan's departure did not alarm anyone, and they chased along the path at the entrance of the village in the direction where Bai Ke and the others left. The trail was full of craggy cliffs and jutting rocks, and Xiang Qingwu was dressed in the clothes of a local, and a pair of boots were on his feet, which were sent by the women of the village. Although the dress was revealing and weird, wouldn't it be even stranger to wear that rag all the time.
"It's too fast... It's too fast, can you slow down? Lu Yan gasped and shouted, rolling his eyes in exhaustion.
Xiang Qingwu jumped lightly and landed on the protruding rock, and when she heard the shout, she looked back at Lu Yan, frowned, and said, "If you don't hurry up, it's too late." ”
Lu Yan lay on his back on the ground, patting his chest and breathing, "If I hurry up, my life will be explained here, you think I am a monster like you, I am a person, I will be tired, okay?" ”
Xiang Qingwu said expressionlessly, "In that case, you can follow by yourself." With that, he jumped up the hill without hesitation, and in a blink of an eye, the man was gone.
Lu Yan sat up with a carp, and when he saw that Xiang Qingwu had really left, he suddenly jumped to his feet angrily, "Hey, you really left, you left me here alone like this?" Feed! Surname's! ”
shouted a few times and didn't hear anyone respond, Lu Yan cursed in a low voice, so he could only chase after him again.
Xiang Qingwu chased along the mountain road for more than an hour, and he was about to reach the gathering point of the villagers of Yan Village, but he couldn't hear any sound except the sound of the wind and the roar of wild beasts. Xiang Qingwu slowed down his pace, raised his eyes, and everywhere he looked was a forest, and the mountain col below was blocked by the shadow of the trees, so he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, but there was nothing abnormal when he heard the sound.
Have they all left? Xiang Qingwu was suspicious in his heart, and his body ran towards the bottom of the mountain extremely quickly.
Beneath the col was a clearing, where there were still extinguished fires, and not far away there were two tree sheds that had not yet had time to be torn down, and the ground was a mess, and it seemed that they had left in a hurry.
"It seems that Bai Ke's kid messed up." Lu Yan came out of the back coldly and gloated and said.
Xiang Qingwu glanced back at him and reminded, "If he messes things up, we won't be good." ”
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, looking disapproving, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and my Lu Yan's life is very hard, and I can't die." ”
Xiang Qingwu sneered, and when she turned around to leave, Lu Yan suddenly called out to her, "Wait." ”
Xiang Qingwu turned around, and saw Lu Yan bypassing the mess all over the ground and accurately took out a palm-sized thing from it, he took it in his hand curiously and looked at it for a long time, and laughed suddenly, "What the hell, it's a keychain?" Hey, the people on this side seem to be a little familiar......"
Xiang Qingwu walked over, Xiang Qingwu didn't know what the so-called "keychain" was, and only asked, "This thing is very important?" ”
Lu Yan casually copied it into his pocket, shook his head and said, "It's used to hang the key, it's not unusual, but the owner of this thing should be a woman." ”
"How so?" Xiang Qingwu asked.
Lu Yan naturally raised his eyes and glanced at Xiang Qingwu and asked, "Have you ever seen a man carry a photo of another man with him?" ”
Xiang Qingwu thought about it for a while, she didn't even know what the photo was, let alone answer Lu Yan's strange question, she shook her head, and simply turned around and continued to hurry.
I didn't find any important clues in the mountain col, I saw that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the morning glow spread over the mountains, reflecting the entire mountainous area in a fiery red, the temperature of the air was gradually rising, and as time went by, the feeling of exhaustion began to hit, especially Lu Yan, who was so tired that he almost couldn't lift his legs on the ground.
"My dear mother, how long is it going to be, I really can't walk." Finally, Lu Yan stopped holding on to the trunk of the tree and said with a painful breath.
Xiang Qingwu looked around and said uncertainly, "It should be around here." But she couldn't see any sign of it, she didn't even hear anyone talking.
The sunlight scattered through the leaves on the two of them, and the light and shadow were dappled, blending their shadows into the grass and trees.
Suddenly, Xiang Qingwu felt that something was shaking in front of her, and when she looked closely, she found that there was still nothing around, except for the breathing of the two of them, she couldn't feel the presence of other people.
Is it really your own delusion? When Xiang Qingwu was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard Lu Yan scream, Xiang Qingwu turned around suddenly, but found that the person was gone!
Someone actually kidnapped Lu Yan without him noticing, Xiang Qingwu thought about it and suddenly felt a chill in his back, quickly pulled out his bow and arrows and aimed around, and asked sharply, "Who?" ”
There was silence all around, as if nothing had ever happened.
The wind blew through the treetops, and there was a "salsa" sound.
Between the shadows of the trees, the leaves seemed to be caught in a whirlpool and became blurred, as if there was a stream of water rushing by, the scenery became blurred, and the air around them froze a little.
Xiang Qingwu looked around with a piercing gaze, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, saying that it was too late, Xiang Qingwu immediately pointed his toes on the ground, and his body quickly fell backwards, and at the same time, the feather arrow in his hand was already off the string, and he saw that the long arrow with the white arrow tail stopped in mid-air with a "stab" sound, and blood stains slowly emerged from above.
After the scenery in front of him was distorted for a while, the other party finally appeared!
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty or forty years old, not tall, thin, with an inch head, and a pair of eyes looking at Xiang Qingwu in horror.
"Impossible, how could you find out that I ......" the man said, clutching his chest, incredulous.
Xiang Qingwu walked over, raised her hand and flipped the man to the ground, she forced to ask, "What about people?" ”
The man's face turned pale in pain, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Who is it, I don't know." ”
Xiang Qingwu sneered, suddenly grabbed the tail of the arrow and pressed it hard, and the man screamed loudly in pain.
"I ask you, what about the people you just kidnapped?" Xiang Qingwu asked again.
The man couldn't stand the pain anymore, and said with difficulty, "I was taken back to the village......
Xiang Qingwu's eyes were gloomy, she sneered, and suddenly twisted the man's arm without warning, and pulled it hard, the sound of bones breaking was very clear, and the man's wail was even more numb to the scalp of the listener.
"In front! Under that tree ten meters ahead! The man poured out all his hesitation.
Xiang Qingwu really found Lu Yan under the tree, Lu Yan was stunned by the incense, but fortunately, his life was not in danger. After Xiang Qingwu found Lu Yan, he began to interrogate the man, and the man couldn't stand the torture, so he confessed everything he knew.
The man's name is Lei Yang, he is the chosen one of Yan Village, and Xiang Qingwu and others, when they came to this place in a daze, their captain soon had the ambition to be the king here under the flattery of the villagers, she relied on her own ability and the special ability of her teammates to quickly make the villagers of Yan Village willing to work for her, she relied on aggression to continuously expand the area of Yan Village and the number of villagers, her purpose is to be the king, and the other is as Kong Yan They guessed, in order to get more fish talismans.
Because of the expansion of the team, the number of team members is constantly increasing, in order to ensure that everyone can leave the Seven Islands smoothly, Lei Yang's captain told everyone to be sure to capture the contractor when they invade other villages, because only the contractor can have a fish talisman on him. So even if some teammates objected to the captain's approach, they were willing to listen to her in order to get out of here.
"It's a pity, I'm a little secret, I didn't expect you to be like us, all mutated." Lei Yang lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
Variation? Xiang Qingwu asked, "What mutation?" ”
Lei Yang's gaze swept Xiang Qingwu up and down, and said with a strange smile, "Don't you feel that your body is different from before?" ”
Not the same? Xiang Qingwu recalled the changes in his body during this time, the most obvious thing was that his hearing was more than twice as good as before, and the anti-gravity and body sensitivity were also much better than before.
"Some people say that there are only two kinds of people who survive on Shichiejima, do you know who they are?" Lei Yang asked, and without waiting for the other party to reply, he asked himself, "One kind of person can't adapt to the Seven Islands, and eventually becomes part of the expulsion from the Seven Islands; There is also a type of person who adapts to Nanaju Island, who will receive the gift of Shichiejima and eventually become a part of this island. And people like me fall into the latter category. Lei Yang looked at his palms and laughed lowly.
Xiang Qingwu heard the meaning of Lei Yang's words, "Are you saying that there are still many mutants like you?" ”
Lei Yang grinned, looking weak, "Who knows, at least I've seen people who are stranger than me, such as you, a monster who can survive without skin!" Don't you think that's also a gift from Nanaju Island? ”
Xiang Qingwu pondered and asked, "Then how many other people in your team have mutated like you?" ”
The corner of Lei Yang's eyes glanced at Xiang Qingwu, "Why do you think I'll tell you?" Even if our team fights each other, I can't do such a thing as betraying my teammates. Lei Yang seemed to have underestimated Xiang Qingwu's demonic level, and only finished listening to his words, his arm made a familiar "click", and his other arm was also removed by Xiang Qingwu!
Lei Yang convulsed on the ground in pain, covered in blood, his eyes began to roll the whites of his eyes, and he cursed loudly, "Stinky bitch, I can't spare you, I must not spare you......"
"What's your captain's name?" Xiang Qingwu grabbed the man's neck, forcing him to be unable to escape.
The man's forehead was full of bursting green tendons, and his eyes full of hatred stared at Xiang Qingwu, "You will have retribution!" Our captain won't let you go! ”
"Again, what's your captain's name? Has she also mutated? Xiang Qingwu asked coldly, not afraid of the other party's threat at all.
