Chapter 4: Strangers
To be honest, I didn't want to take Chen Qiuyan with me, because this thing is just talking about lightness, who knows how far it will develop in the future?
If I see my ancestor and can't say a word, and he suddenly turns his face with me and wants to me, won't this risk come?
Although I am completely sure that I can run even if I can't fight, but for the old and immortal giant....... I'm still a little scared.? Follow? Dream?. lā
To put it bluntly, I don't know the bottom of my heart.
That old guy gives me a feeling very similar to the Immortal King, maybe he really has the blood of the Immortal King in his body.
When I took Chen Qiuyan deep into the woods, I found that she was much calmer than I thought, and even inexplicably excited, as if she was looking at a giant panda, constantly looking left and right at those deformed people.
Of course, this is not to look at them with colored eyes, when I was in Shennongjia, I talked to Chen Qiuyan about things here, so she was just curious about these deformed people, and there was no malice.
But that's when I made a surprise discovery.
There are more deformed people hiding in the woods than I thought, and I have seen quite a few in the mountains some time ago, but now it seems that familiar faces only account for 20% of these deformed people, and maybe less than 20%.
More often than not, there are unfamiliar faces.
Actually, I was quite surprised, and the further I went deeper into the woods, the more surprised I became, because I found that the deformed people hidden in this place seemed to be not weak.
Judging from the breath alone, there are at least a dozen deformed people, who are of the same level as Wen Chou and Wu Chou.
There are still a few who have not shown up, and they seem to be stronger than the civil and military ugliness.
Some people may be curious, is it a bit unreliable to judge a person's strength just from the breath?
But in good conscience, this is much more reliable than either way.
Breath is a concept that encompasses a lot of things.
The breath of a living thing is different from that of a dead thing, but as long as it is a living thing, no matter what species it is, the breath has some similarities to a greater or lesser extent.
Take these deformed people as an example, they also have yin and yang qi in their bodies, and the stronger the person, the stronger the yin and yang qi will be.
If ordinary people are just a fire, then characters like Wenwu Chou, their breath is like a raging bonfire.
It's intuitive and easy to tell.
"Shi'an, didn't you say that Beigong followed you here?" Chen Qiuyan leaned on my arm and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see it?" ”
It's good that Chen Qiuyan didn't mention it, but I only remembered this cold mention.
Oh, yes! What about Beigong?!
It can be said to be the only outlier in this mountain, and almost all deformed people will hate it, because this is the hatred that has been passed down from generation to generation in the bloodline, and it is difficult to solve it casually.
Some time ago, I was here, and the civil, military, and ugly people would more or less target Beigong, and they would find it to stir up trouble if they had nothing to do....... Didn't I go to Shennongjia later?
During this period of time, the nosy person and I are not on the mountain, and the ghosts of Xiangjiang are also in retreat to recuperate, that is to say, Beigong has almost become an "orphan".
Although their ancestors explicitly forbade dealing with Beigong, no matter how strict the order is, it can't resist the thorns!
The civil and military ugly came to me to stir up trouble, isn't this an example that is still hot!
"Fuck...... Beigong won't be secretly killed and buried by them......" I couldn't help muttering, a layer of cold sweat broke out on my head, and I was so panicked that I couldn't do it.
Although Beigong has no blood relationship with me, and the time I have dealt with it is not long, in any case, since it left the northeast and came to the Xiangjiang River, and part of it is due to me, I must be responsible for it.
Not to mention, as an old-time creature, it's not as brutal as a normal old-time creature, and it can completely mingle with me and some friendly deformities.
In that regard, if I don't keep it, am I still human?
"I don't think they should be so despicable........" Chen Qiuyan also muttered a little, and said cautiously: "Otherwise, let's go find Beigong?" ”
"Don't look for it."
The man who said this is not far from us, but he is on a high place.
This voice is a little unfamiliar, I think it's the first time I've heard it.
When I looked up, there was a very strange child standing on the branch, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a linen-colored robe, with an indescribable temperament.......
Let's put it this way, he looks very natural, but that kind of temperament can't be ignored......
It was cold and cruel like a poisonous snake looking for its prey, and it made me feel like I was hairy.
Of course, the reason why I feel hairy in my heart may also be caused by his appearance.
The child's limbs and torso are no different from those of a normal person, but there is no nose on his face, and there are three pairs of human eyes from top to bottom.
That's right, that's six eyes, and they're all the kind of eyes that normal humans have.
"Why don't you look for it?"
I looked at him cautiously and began to prepare mentally.
If his next sentence is "Beigong is dead, let's bury it", then I would really despair.
"It's not dangerous, it's good with the Ancestor." The kid said, looking at me and Chen Qiuyan as he spoke, and his tone was very cold: "You can see it when you go." ”
"That's a good feeling!" I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh.
"Spider Boy, why are you telling him so much?"
At this moment another stranger came out of the woods and looked at the child with some dissatisfaction.
It is no exaggeration to say that the moment I saw this person come out, I immediately became nauseous.
The man was shirtless, wearing a pair of cotton and linen trousers, and his exposed skin was almost all festering, and holes could still be seen in many places, but no blood was coming out, like a honeycomb coal.
He is about two and a half meters tall, he is very burly, there are muscles everywhere he can see, and his mouth has sharp teeth like the fangs of a beast, which is scary to look at.
Hearing him call that child "Spider Boy", I couldn't help but mutter, this name is quite familiar...... It seems to have heard it from the mouth of the sixth master.
In this mountain forest, there seem to be only a few deformed people with the most powerful strength, and the civil, military and ugly people are barely counted among them, but the two of them are definitely not the strongest.
Under the old ancestor, there should be a few strongmen, one of whom seems to be called Spider Boy.
"The surname is Shen, to be honest, I don't like you."
The big man of two meters and five walked up to me and looked at me condescendingly, his eyes full of fierce light.
But this kind of fierce look is obviously different from the strong enemies I have met before....... It was the look of a beast looking at its prey.
It was really uncomfortable to be stared at by him like this.
"Stay away." I said with a smile, holding the Miao knife quietly with my right hand.
At this distance, I'm sure I'll be able to settle the fight with one sword, and I'll be able to cut him in two with a 100 percent stop.
But it's weird...... This man does not seem to be afraid of the weapon in my hand, nor of me.
"If it weren't for the ancestor who said that he was not allowed to do anything with you, I would have wanted to tear you alive now." He grinned.
He said this in a tone like a joke, but for some reason, he revealed to me the feeling that he was telling a fact.
That feeling...... It's like he's really torn people apart.
"Try it."
I laughed, clenching the hilt of my sword, my right hand tense and staring at him.
"I don't think you can tear me apart, but I can definitely hack you to death."
"Try?" He laughed.
"Okay, I'll let you do it first." I sneered, "Leave a name, and when you die, I'll erect a monument for you." ”
When I said this, his eyes became even more fierce, and his smile became distorted.
"Kill the ghost."
As he spoke, he laughed strangely, and suddenly stretched out his right hand to choke my neck, and I also pulled out the Miao knife at this moment.
But before he could touch me, or before I could swing my knife and slash at him, I heard the voice of a strange old man, and the darkness came from the depths of the woods.
"Stop, don't mess around."
These words were like a hypnotic spell, which instantly made the killer stop his movements, and he didn't say a word, he suddenly withdrew his hand, glanced into the woods, and gritted his teeth very unwillingly.
"Master Shark, this person is not a good thing, you just let me kill him!"
The old man who had spoken before slowly came out of the woods, glanced at him, and repeated word by word.
"Stop, don't mess around."
