Book 5, Chapter 64: Sacrifice to the Spirits
The old man roared, jumped up again, and ran to the river bank with an unimaginable speed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The bushes behind him began to swell wildly again.
The river was flowing very fast, and by this time, the distance between us and him had reached more than twenty meters.
He couldn't catch up on the raft.
I stood up, lifted the rope with the talon on it, swung it twice in the air, and threw it out. At the same time shouted: "Catch! ”
The rope flew over a short distance and landed on the shore.
The old man pounced and grabbed the flying claws.
I'm ready, and I'm holding on to him. Kicking his left foot on the raft and exerting force on his waist, he was dragged into the river. Quickly close the rope.
In just a dozen seconds, he was pulled by me to the side of the raft. Qian Xinyu hurriedly helped and pulled him onto the raft.
During this time, Mo Yiyuan fired a few more shots at the woods on the shore.
However, from the moment the old man entered the water, there was no movement on the shore.
The old man's hands and body were covered with blood. It resembles the traces of ropes on the bodies of those prisoners in ancient prisons.
The river was melted by the snow and ice on the snowy peaks, and it was unusually cold, and for just a moment, his lips were already purple.
Qian Xinyu took out a bandage to stop the bleeding.
The old man opened his eyes tremblingly, his breath was dying, his dry hand grabbed Qian Xinyu's clothes, shook his head, and said, "Girl, don't waste it!" I can't! The old man was rarely sober for a while, and I chased after him, just wanting to say a word to him! He said, his eyes slowly looking at me.
"Me?" I was stunned, I didn't know what he had to say to me. I don't know him at all, why is he looking for me.
He took a deep breath, looked at me and said with difficulty, "You know the priests, don't you?" ”
"Sacrifice to the spirits? Who is it? I shook my head, "I don't know!" ”
He shook his head slightly: "Impossible! I can smell her scent on you. The next time you see her, you say...... One of the old men she once trusted the most betrayed ...... betrayed her......"
I was stunned: what the hell does this mean? Treachery? Betraying whom?
I was about to ask: Who is the sacrifice spirit?
His eyes looked at the sky in distraction, and he said weakly, "There is still ...... And also...... Over here...... Don't ...... here Don't open ...... After squeezing out the last word of the gun ......", his vision dimmed.
He's dead?
Dead indeed!
"Wait!" I suddenly spoke up and said, "I have one more question for you!" ”
But the old man was already unresponsive.
Oh yes! How good is that?
I don't know what the hell it is. But at this moment, I remembered something.
I've heard the word "sacrifice to the spirits" before!
Before coming to Hengduan Mountain, when I caught the grimace man, he also mentioned "sacrificing spirits" before he died!
What the hell is this? I didn't really care about it before. And now this old man says I've seen a "sacrifice spirit"?
"What do you mean by that?" Qian Xinyu looked at me with a little loss in her eyes.
I shook my head: "I don't know. What he said was just inexplicable, and I couldn't understand a word. ”
"What now?" She asked, looking at the old man's corpse.
"Put it on the raft for the time being." Mo Yiyuan looked at the old man who didn't even know his name and said, "We'll do our best to take him out." ”
I stopped talking. If we walk on the ground, the only way we dispose of the body is to bury it on the spot.
Now on the water, consider taking him out.
Call......
A very strong wind blew suddenly. It's so cold that it makes your back hairy.
Above the blue sky, there is even more wind and clouds, and the blue sky is full of dark clouds in a blink of an eye. Dull thunder began to roar in the air.
"Oh yes. Why is this wind so weird? I yelled, and the wind rushed into my mouth, almost preventing me from breathing.
Avoid the wind and hold on tightly to the rope or you'll really be blown away.
Mo Yiyuan also scolded: "At this season, this kind of storm should not occur in this place!" ”
"Say no more!" Li Yiqi turned his back to the wind and said, "We have to find a safe haven!" Otherwise we'll all be drowned here! ”
Oh yes! Where to find a safe haven at this time? I couldn't even open my eyes.
Click...... Click......
A very piercing popping sound came to my ears, as if something had fallen into the water.
Turning around, the scene in front of me directly raised my heart to my throat.
"Accelerate! Hasten! "I didn't have time to think about it, I desperately waved the pickaxe in my hand.
After all this time, I rarely developed fear. But now, the long-lost fear almost makes me unable to move!
Li Yiqi, Mo Yiyuan and the others heard that my tone was wrong, opened their eyes, and their faces turned pale instantly.
Behind us, the trunk of the tree that had just stopped us began to twist like a snake at this time! The trees on both sides of the river bank shook wildly, and a behemoth was about to emerge!
Dead branches and stones fell into the water with the twisting of the trunk. It's like a landslide, with a loud roar!
"Run!" I was shocked in my heart, but among the six of us, except for Qian Xinyu, who had been scared, the others were all people who had seen the world. I have already developed the ability to change things without being alarmed. Sticks paddled frantically through the icy water.
However, what is almost devastating is that the wind is blowing in front of us, and if it weren't for the speed of the water itself, we would have to go backwards now.
Thundered!
There was an earth-shattering bang behind him again.
I turned my head and my legs went limp!
I saw that the "tree trunk" just now had slowly risen from the water. Like a giant python.
In the woods on the right side of the river, the shrubs began to shake in a large area!
I don't know what the hell this thing is, it's going to make such a big move!
But now is not the time to think about it.
Gritting his teeth, he continued to paddle the water as if he were dying.
Crash!
The water in front of me suddenly parted, and something shot straight at me as fast as lightning!
Like a snake!
No! It's an octopus ground tentacle!
I was taken aback, and with a flash of light, the tentacles slammed into the raft.
In an instant, his right hand pulled out the Miao knife on his back and swung it straight forward.
Click! Syllable!
A piece of stuff landed on the raft, and a blood-red liquid flowed into the river!
His face changed instantly. This thing is the same thing as seeing things in the secret room of the ancient temple!
It...... Already chasing here?
Swish!
At this moment, several tentacles shot from the surface of the water, and the surface of the water that was separated always reminded of sharks in the sea.
I can't help but say that Li Yiqi's pistol was just a few point shots, which directly broke them into two knots in the water.
Soon, the river around us turned horribly red!
I wielded my knife and cut off all the tentacles that were approaching.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaoqi picked up the old man's hunting knife and cut off all the tentacles.
