Chapter 2: Elven Revenge: VI. The First Dead
Everyone didn't see the figure of the emperor for a long time, and there was a faint uneasiness in their hearts. Ruoyu insisted on going back to the forest to have a look, hoping that there would be no accidents. I thought about it for a moment and said, "You better forget it, I'll go back and see." ”
I put my backpack on the side of the road and asked Li Lili for a shotgun, and asked Ah Mei to go first with everyone. But Ah Mei didn't want to go first, so she had to wait for me here. When Ruoyu saw this, he said that everyone should just rest here for a while, and wait for everyone to arrive before leaving.
Seeing that I was going back, Najie also returned his backpack to Ruoyu and insisted on going back to the forest with me.
Najie and I walked back a short distance, and I saw Kuroko and Professor Luo walking over one after another, this is a small valley connecting the mountain and the mountain, I asked Kuroko and Professor Luo, have you seen Huangfu? Professor Luo said that it was just a little later, and that he should be out of the forest immediately.
Najie and I continued to walk towards the forest, when Li Lili chased after him with a machete, saying that he was not at ease, so he couldn't help but follow. If something happens, one more person is one more strength.
As soon as we walked into the forest, we found out about the situation. At the edge of the forest is a flat land covered with various shrubs more than one person tall, and the ground is covered with thick moss. In the middle of the bushes there was a large clearing, which was connected on one side by a narrow mountain path, and on the other side there were several raised stones, one of which had obvious signs of a person sitting on it on the moss. The ground next to the stone was in chaos, and the sunhat worn by the emperor was thrown on the ground, and on the edge of the hat was a pool of bright red blood. Our hearts were shocked, and we realized that this emperor must have been more than lucky.
Li Lili asked me and Najie not to get close to the messy place, he circled around the messy place, carefully looked at the marks on the ground, and dipped his fingers in the blood left on the ground, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
I asked Li Lili, "What did you find?" ”
Li Lili nodded and said, "The incident is basically clear. ”
I asked Li Lili, "Are you sure?" ”
Li Lili nodded. said, "Judging by the degree of coagulation of the blood stains left at the scene, it should have happened within half an hour." Measuring the distance from where everyone had stopped, the attacker must have just left by the time we arrived. ”
I said, "What did you find?" ”
Li Lili said, "Judging from the traces left at the scene, it should be the emperor who came from the forest and found this stone." At that time, Huangfu must have been exhausted, and there was no danger along the way, so he also relaxed his vigilance. After the emperor saw this stone, he should have sat on this stone and rested. Just as the emperor was resting, he was attacked from behind. This is based on two points, one is that there are no traces of individual animal claws at the scene, and if Huangfu is attacked in person, there will inevitably be traces of separate animal claws at the scene. The second is that the emperor did not leave any traces of struggle at the scene. The strength of the attacker was amazing, and the first attack made Huangfu lose even the ability to struggle. The attacker grabbed Huangfu and threw it directly over there, and Huangfu's hat fell off in the process. The scattered marks on the moss on the ground over there bear this out. Then the attacker pounced, and it was from this place that the blood of the Emperor Fu began. Then the attacker dragged Huangfu a few steps. Li Lili pointed to a deep rut mark on the ground, "In this place, the emperor left the ground. It should have been carried or lifted by the attacker, because there was no trace around. ”
I asked Lili, "That's all?" ”
Li Lili said, "I can see that, that's all. ”
I said, "What about Huangfu?" Where is he? There are no other clues left by the attackers at the scene? Could it be that the emperor was swallowed alive? ”
Li Lili said, "Judging from the scene, Huangfu should be nearby." ”
At this time, Najie shouted loudly not far away to Li Lili and me. We followed the sound and saw Najie standing about ten meters away looking at a bush in a trance. Li Lili and I rushed over and looked at the bush that Najie was looking at, only to see a man lying motionless in the bush with his backpack on his back facing the sky. The man's entire head was a blur of flesh and blood, and he was so smashed by something that he couldn't make out at all. We only recognize from the clothes and backpacks, and that is Huangfu. At this time, the emperor was covered in blood, and a big hole was punched out of his chest. Although we don't have much interaction with each other on weekdays, we were still a living person an hour ago, and when we turned around, we all had an inexplicable sadness in our hearts.
When Li Lili saw Huangfu's miserable appearance, he was about to burrow into the bushes. Najie stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Lili and said, "Don't go over!" ”
Li Lili looked back at me. I understood what Najay meant, that the mountain elf most likely did not leave after the first retaliation, but stayed in the shadows, waiting for the arrival of the second target. I said, "Don't move, listen to Najay, that thing has been following everyone and waiting for an opportunity to move!" Now, it's definitely nearby. As I spoke, I held a shotgun in one hand and quickly took out my mobile phone in the other hand and took a few photos of Huangfu.
Li Lili said, "If this is the case, are we in danger now? ”
I nodded solemnly and said, "Now, we can't take care of the emperor." The three of us walked out slowly, leaning together, and don't be left alone. ”
Li Lili walked in front with a machete, and Najie and I broke off with shotguns.
At this time, the forest was as silent as death. Not a single wind flowed, not a single leaf swayed. The three of us gritted our teeth, held our breath, and carefully moved out of the forest, step by step. My nerves tensed all over me, and I looked at every color in the forest, at every shape under the color. I knew that the spirit of the mountain was behind a certain shape of object, under a certain color. I even felt its breath, felt it swallow our eyes like a black hole.
In the past ten minutes, we have walked as long as more than ten years.
As soon as we walked out of the forest, the three of us immediately picked up our pace. At this time, we changed our formation, I walked in front with a shotgun, Li Lili followed me with a knife, and Najie broke back with a shotgun.
When we returned to Banpo, Kuroko and Professor Luo had already caught up with the large army waiting in Banpo. Seeing the grim faces of the three of us, everyone gathered around and asked what happened? What about the Emperor? Did something happen to him? I said, "I don't have time to talk about this now, let's go now!" That thing is coming! ”
