Chapter 6: The Final Pursuit: Thirty-two, Let It Go

At noon, we reached the top of the last mountain. On top of this mountain is a boulder, and under the boulder is a small flat area. On one side are cliffs and abysses. On the other side is the path down the mountain. The wind was constantly blowing in the mountains, and the snow was knee-high. Standing here and looking at it, Higashijiugou is already at your feet. The 318 National Highway outside Dongjiugou is also faintly visible.

Just when we were only a dozen meters away from that flat land, my heart struck. I realized that if the Thousand-Faced Beast were going to attack, this was the perfect place. I stopped Xiao Yu, who was walking in the front, and told everyone to be careful, such places are the most prone to ambushes.

Old Ash said, "Are you too nervous in such a clear place?" ”

I said, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, a strange laugh came from the boulder at the top of the mountain. We looked over the boulder and saw a white shadow sitting on the ice and snow. At this time, the sun was in full bloom, and since the place we were in was backlit, if it weren't for everyone wearing sunglasses, we wouldn't even be able to open our eyes, let alone see the white shadow on the boulder that was the same color as the ice and snow.

Everyone instinctively drew their knives in their hands, and Old Gray also picked up his shotgun.

Li Lili said, "Now that we have no escape, we might as well fight, right?!" ”

Everyone said almost in unison, "Fight!" ”

Since the time is always coming, I was relieved that the Thousand-Faced Beast appeared on the top of the mountain. I decided not to keep it anymore and fight as hard as I could. As for what people will think of me in the future, I can't take care of it. I'll talk about that later. It's important to save your life today. I adjusted the formation again, so that Xiao Yu and Li Lili stood in parallel, and Ah Mei and Lao Shen swapped places. I told Ash not to shoot yet, and to wait for the Thousand-Faced Beast to pounce down on the boulder before firing it, so that even if it didn't hit the Thousand-Faced Beast, it would still have no time to change its shape. She did not participate in the attack after firing, but loaded the second bullet as quickly as she could, and then guarded the rear with the old cannon in case there was another danger in the back. They must not participate in the offensive unless absolutely necessary. Xiao Yu and Li Lili attacked from both sides after the gunshots rang out. I'll hit the spot in the middle of them and attack the Thousand-Faced Beast head-on when it lands.

After the arrangement stopped, we did not retreat, but walked forward step by step in this formation.

Our enemy seems to have taken the Thousand-Faced Beast by surprise. Maybe it thinks that as soon as it appears, we will run away like before. And it can calmly chase after us, one by one, until it cleanly packs us all away.

The Thousand-Faced Beast seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still pounced from the top of the mountain.

At that moment, Old Ash's gun rang out. The Thousand-Faced Beast had a noticeable pause in mid-air, as if it had been hit by Old Ash's shot.

As the gun rang out, Li Lili and Xiao Yu rushed forward with their knives.

I deliberately slowed down for half a beat, and only after Li Lili and Xiao Yu's bodies moved, I pounced on the Thousand-Faced Beast. I raised my sword first, and the last came first.

As soon as the Thousand-Faced Beast landed, it swept towards Li Lili who was rushing over with one hand. By this time I had arrived, and the tip of my sword was aimed right at the chest of the Thousand-Faced Beast. The Thousand-Faced Beast flickered, and the tip of my sword just missed. But I dragged it, and the blade slashed at the Thousand-Faced Beast's chest. The Thousand-Faced Beast had no choice but to retreat. In this way, although Li Lili's choke was relieved, the remnants of the thousand-faced beast's arm swept Li Lili to the ground. Fortunately, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and Li Lili was not injured, so he quickly got up.

At this moment, I put one foot on the boulder a little, and my body twisted, but the sword still shone in mid-air and covered the Thousand-Faced Beast, and the tip of the knife was always pointed at the chest of the Thousand-Faced Beast. The Thousand-Faced Beast dodged left and right, roaring angrily, but it could never get rid of my sword light. My wrist shook, and the tip of my knife locked onto the chest. Just as the tip of my sword and the chest of the Thousand-Faced Beast were about to be touched, the Thousand-Faced Beast finally fell into the air with one foot in the back, and a white shadow fell into the abyss. In the abyss, only a long scream was heard.

I flipped my wrist and touched the ground with the tip of my knife to make myself stand on the cliff. Looking down at the swarthy cliffs, I let out a long breath.

I looked back and saw the blood stains on the snow, which were particularly glaring.

Everyone looked at me dumbfounded, and it took a long time for me to let out a cheer.

Li Lili looked at me in disbelief and said, "We have known each other for so many years, and it is only today that I can be regarded as truly knowing you!" ”

I said, "Brother, are you praising me?" Or is it to my detriment? ”

Xiao Yu said, "Your move just now is too exciting, is it called swordsmanship?" Or is it a skimming flight? ”

I said, "Where?" It's just that the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry. ”

Ruoyu also walked to the front, "You, when will you stop surprising people?" ”

Lao Cannon also said, "I knew you were so powerful, why are we still afraid of this thousand-faced beast?" I've grilled it for a long time as an accompaniment. ”

Old Gray looked at me with wide eyes, "Who the hell are you?" How is it so hidden? ”

I said, "Don't worship me, brother is just a legend!" ”

Only Ah Mei didn't speak, just stood aside and smiled, looking at me silently.

I looked at Ah Mei and said, "I'm working so hard, you won't reward me?" ”

Ah Mei took a sip of me and said, "Beautiful you! ”

Ruoyu smiled, "Why don't we all withdraw first, and let the two of you have a commemorative reward ceremony here, okay?" ”

I said, "No, welcome onlookers!" There are many people. ”

The old cannon said, "This person is like this, he can't be proud, and as soon as he is proud, his original form will be revealed." ”

Ah Mei said, "Now that the danger is gone, let's go with peace of mind!" ”

Without the threat of the Thousand-Faced Beast, the haze that has plagued everyone's hearts these days has finally been swept away. Everyone's mood relaxed, and they laughed and laughed along the way, and soon got down the snowy mountain and walked into Dongjiugou. In the ditch, there were a few old ashes and old cannons, and one of them picked up a very beautiful wooden fossil and stuffed it into his pocket, saying that he could take it back to make a very meaningful witness.

Before dusk, we arrived at the abandoned lumber yard. There is already a signal here, and the phone is ready to use. Ruoyu dialed the phone number of the two drivers who stayed behind, but no one answered. Ruoyu dialed for a long time, and finally a driver answered the phone. When the driver heard that it was Ruoyu, he said sorry, they didn't know that everyone was coming back today, he was drinking with another driver, they were all a little drunk, and they must not be able to drive. When Ruoyu heard this, her face turned blue with anger.
