He ran in front, dragging a long wire behind him, and from time to time there was a small grinding sound on the ground.

But after running with him for a while, the sound gradually weakened until it disappeared completely.

I was alert and paid close attention to my surroundings, and for a moment, I felt that the houses on both sides of the road looked a little shaky, and the road that had been straight became curved and extended.

It's an illusion!

As soon as such a thought appeared, I immediately closed my right eye and only relied on the vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea to observe the man's movements.

I don't know when the Qi fields on both sides of the road began to twist and press straight towards me, and in this flow of Qi fields, it was almost impossible to make out the original appearance of the courtyard walls around me.

But I remember very clearly, the alley in front of me is straight eyes, and the silhouette of the man is also running straight forward.

Perhaps he had made up his mind to escape, but the man's speed when he ran was a few points faster than before, but this speed beyond the limit also made his physical strength deplete quickly, and it didn't take long for his pace to be chaotic and his speed slowed down.

By this time I was behind him, and I immediately opened my right eye, and at first I saw a gray brick wall.

At that time, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to stop, but in the real vision, I actually crossed the solid wall, and the back of the man appeared in front of me again.

Just now, when the brick wall appeared, my steps were a little chaotic, and there was a little noise under my feet, and the man immediately turned around and glanced at me quickly.

As soon as he saw me, he immediately took out three spirit talismans from his arms, and before he could throw them out, I smashed them on his arm.

Unlike the last time I poked him in the calf, the resistance from his fist was still jerky and elastic.

But this time, I kept an eye on it, and urged the shock in advance, and there was no crisp sound of bones breaking on the man's arm, but the sound of flesh exploding.

He couldn't bear the pain, the corners of his mouth grinned twice, his hand was out of force, and the spirit rune fell lightly, and only after touching the ground did he raise a fire.

The guy's arm was wounded, but it wasn't serious, and now he endured the pain and tried to put his palm in his arms.

I didn't dare to slack off, and immediately threw a punch and smashed it his collarbone.

What can come from the fist is that strange touch.

He took two quick steps back with his strength, and before he could stabilize his body, I rubbed myself in front of him, stretched out my five fingers, grabbed the side of his face, and forcibly carried him into the air.

After his feet left the ground, the man panicked on the spot, but he didn't forget to die and struggle, and with all his strength, he smashed my shoulder with a punch.

Although he has no ability to heal himself, I am now a steel-bone physique after all, and the toughness of my skin and flesh and the hardness of my bones are very high, and with his embroidery fist, he can't hurt me at all.

I didn't intend to talk nonsense with him, so I rushed straight to a nearby courtyard wall and slammed his head against the wall.

There was a muffled sound, and the wall covered with withered grass shook twice, and when I released the man's brain, he had passed out, his side face against the wall and slowly collapsed to the ground, and a large number of broken bricks and powder fell off the wall.

I stepped forward and rolled the man's eyelids, this guy's pupils had already turned upward, and I guess he wouldn't wake up for a while.

This guy is a practitioner, you can see it from the fight just now, but there is also a difference between the practitioner and the practitioner, no one knows what kind of skills he is practicing, what his physique is, and when he will wake up.

To be cautious, I squatted down and searched the man.

The unusual resistance that came from him just now was uncomfortable, and I had to see what was going on.

After I took off his jacket, I could see clearly that he was wrapped in a circle of steel wires, which were like armor, crating his entire body, and only the joints such as shoulders and elbows were exposed, which was convenient for movement.

When I first saw him, I only thought that his face was relatively thin, but his body was very broad, but now it seems that his figure was originally supported by steel wire, and he himself is actually very thin.

Not only the upper body, but also the legs and waist of this guy are wrapped with steel wires, and only the knees and ankles are exposed.

And under the steel wire in this circle, there is a diving winter suit, it seems that they came to the deserted village this time, and they originally planned to go into the water.

But I looked at the map, and there was no river near the village, and the only thing that could be regarded as a source of water was a large river under the cliff and a stagnant pool in the valley.

Looking at the clumps of tightrope on his body, I suspect they may be planning to climb down the cliff and go to the bottom of the river to find something.

In addition to these, from the man's body, I also found sixteen sharp blades, a few spiritual runes with white phosphorus powder, and some things similar to magic weapons and half of the unfinished compressed biscuits, this guy has a sour smell that makes people can't open their eyes, it is estimated that he has been lurking in the deserted village for too long, and he has not taken a bath for a long time.

To be honest, I have some doubts in my heart now, since he has been in the deserted village for so long, it is said that no matter what he is looking for, he should have already obtained it, why should he stay here all the time.

Why did Mia and Xiao Jiu follow the old cat's team into the mountain, and why did the emaciated man in front of him kill the old cat and mosquitoes, everything seemed to be an unsolvable mystery.

I was vaguely aware that the case in the deserted village was more complicated than Hu Nanqian's description, but she didn't seem to know the inside story.

The last time I was in contact with Hu Nanqian, I could feel that this time, she didn't hide anything from us, or rather...... This time, she did ask me and Li Huaishan, and she had already told us all the details she knew about the case.

I picked up the steel wire on the ground, tied the man's five flowers into zongzi, and then carried him up and took him back to join Li Huaishan.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Li Huaishan was pacing anxiously, and when he heard my footsteps, he glanced up at me, looked at the man I was carrying on his shoulder, sighed, and said to me with a bitter face: "Another one died." ”

Hearing him say this, my heart was also groaning.

Another one died? Could it be that in addition to Mia, Xiao September, and the man on my shoulder, there is another murderer hidden in the village?

I frowned and asked Li Huaishan, "Grasshopper or landmine?" ”

Li Huaishan raised his chin towards the gate of the courtyard: "Fat sea." ”

This is not what I expected, it stands to reason that Fat Dahai and Mia should be in the same group, how can he ......

While thinking this, I quickly approached the door, and saw Fat Dahai lying on his back on the ground, with a small blood hole in his head, I don't know what it had pierced.

Li Huaishan slapped Fat Dahai in the face and said to me, "I'm poisoned." ”

When I was so illuminated by the light, I found that Fat Dahai's forehead had turned black, and the blood vessels in his eyes had turned a deep cyan.

Li Huaishan was right, he was indeed poisoned, and the poison was very strong, almost killing him in an instant.

I put down the man and took a closer look at the wound on Fat Dahai's forehead.

The flesh at the edge of the wound was already showing signs of festering, and it was from this position that the toxin entered his body and killed him.

Li Huaishan turned off the flashlight, sighed and said, "When you chase it out, this kid will be out of gas." ”

I stood up and looked into the courtyard, where the mine and the grasshopper were both locked in the corner, and in the middle of the yard there was a hole in the ground that was five or six and a half meters wide.

"What's going on with those holes?" I asked Li Huaishan.

Li Huaishan said: "It should be that when we entered the hospital, those holes have been there, just now there was a sudden illusion, the surrounding walls were distorted and deformed, but I don't know why, the illusion suddenly disappeared, and then there were a few holes on the ground." I guess those holes should have been there, but this place has been shrouded in fantasy and has not been able to manifest itself. ”

I took a closer look at the entrance to the cave, a few of them were some distance from the area where we were camping, and the other were in the middle of the camp, where Mia and Little September had set up their tents before, and even if they appeared, our view was blocked by the tent, and we couldn't see them.

Li Huaishan pointed to the fire pit and said to me: "I recalled carefully, the old cat's tent was supposed to be not far from the bonfire, but later, his tent was moved over there. ”

As he spoke, Li Huaishan pointed to the entrance of a cave closest to the fire pit.

At first, the old cat did put his tent next to the campfire, and I was still thinking that he was probably more afraid of the cold, and it was convenient to keep warm near the fire pit, and his tent was less than two meters away from the fire pit, but when we found the first hole, the old cat's tent was moved to three meters away from the fire pit.

Our opponent is indeed very difficult to entangle, and with the illusion alone, I can move a huge tent so far under my nose that even in the field of vision of the quicksand of the Qi Sea, I can't see anything abnormal.

"Do you still have energy bars in your backpack?" I asked Li Huaishan.

Li Huaishan nodded: "There are quite a few." ”

I pointed to the gnats and mines: "Give them a little bit, let them have some sweets, they can be frightened." ”

Li Huaishan immediately walked towards the gnats and mines, while I jumped on the roof and looked out towards the outskirts of the village.

At this time, only the dark night was left outside the village entrance, and the miserable white fog did not know when it dissipated.

After a few glances outside the village, I turned back to Li Huaishan and asked, "When did the illusion disappear?" ”

Li Huaishan handed the two energy bars to the grasshopper, straightened up, pondered for a moment, and said, "About twenty minutes ago." ”

Twenty minutes ago, at that time, the man should have just fallen into a coma, and I remember very well that it was also at the moment when he was unconscious, and the Qi field in the village returned to normal in an instant.
