Chapter 790: Grass Puppet
It was now hiding in the woods less than a hundred meters from us, and beside it, there was a strange telekinesis slowly wandering, and the guy finally came out.
The three of us lowered our bodies and pressed together.
Liu Shangang had already started to replace the armor-piercing bullets, Liang Houzai gave me a look, and raised his chin towards the woods a hundred meters away, I nodded, and said to the two of them: "Fight quickly, the thin monkey will take cover." ”
At the moment when I said these words, Liu Shangang had already changed the magazine, and I made a gesture to Liang Houzai, signaling him to follow me, and then I hunched my waist and buried most of my body in the grass and quickly moved forward.
There was a brief agitation in the Qi field on the mountain god's body, and I was worried that Renqing who was with it would escape, so I carefully sensed the telekinesis, he didn't leave, but hid in a deeper corner, and it seemed that Renqing didn't intend to confront us head-on.
He never intended to go head-to-head with us, or rather, he didn't dare.
At this time, the mountain god suddenly moved, and Liang Houzai and I were only a few steps away from getting into the woods, when there was a sudden muffled sound of "buzzing" in the forest, and then the mountain god quickly moved closer to us.
Phew!
Although Liu Shangang was far away, he was the first to notice the movement, and as soon as the corpse qi began to move closer to our side, he opened fire on his side.
I don't know if he missed this shot, but the mountain god did pause, and taking advantage of its momentary pause, Liang Houzai and I immediately got out of the grass.
As soon as Liang Houzai raised his head, he immediately threw out three evil talismans in the direction where the corpse qi came from, I didn't have the soul sealing talisman in my hand, and the soul locking talisman couldn't suppress the corpse, so I blessed the Qi field of the black water corpse coffin on the green steel sword, and rushed towards the mountain god.
In fact, at the moment of getting up, Liang Houzai and I didn't see the corpse-transformed mountain god, and there were only dense trees as far as our eyes could see, and we only knew that the source of the corpse qi was behind one of the trees.
Liang Houzai's evil charms were all pasted on the nearby trees, and although they did not directly hurt the mountain god, they blocked the exit of the woods to the grass.
I'm in front, Liang Houzai is behind, and Liu Shangang should be changing positions now in order to find a better sniper point.
As I approached the cedar tree next to the mountain god, I saw the trunk tremble violently, and before I could realize what was going on, a huge bulge erupted on the thick tree, which was formed by the xylem being squeezed by the heavy blow to the trunk.
I immediately curled down and rolled on the spot, and by this time there was a huge hole in the trunk of the tree, and a large number of wood chips and sawdust burst out like bullets, hitting the nearby trees, piercing their bark in an instant, and if I hadn't dodged quickly, it would have become a sieve.
glanced at Liang Houzai and found that Liang Houzai was hiding behind a tree and had also escaped.
You don't have to think about it to know that it must have been the mountain god's fist that hit the tree and blew up a large part of the tree, but why is it so powerful, the few mountain gods I have dealt with before don't have such power.
The mountain god seemed to know that I was hiding on this side of the tree, and it slammed into the trunk again, and I just felt the ground shake caused by its stepping, so I quickly got up and turned behind the tree as fast as I could, just as the mountain god's fist landed on the trunk.
It didn't seem to expect me to pounce on me, and there was a brief pause when it tilted its head sideways to see me.
I wouldn't give him a chance to backhand, take a lunge and slash with a sword.
These mountain gods were all controlled by Renqing, with great strength and speed, but their reactions were always half a beat slower, and it was not until the blade of the Qinggang Sword fell on its shoulder that it remembered to dodge.
It shook its body violently, avoiding the slashing range of the Qinggang Sword, but at this time, the Qinggang Sword had already left wounds on its body, and a small amount of Black Water Corpse Coffin Qi Field merged into its meridians, instantly dissolving most of the corpse qi on its body.
Renqing seems to rely on these corpse qi to control the mountain god, and as soon as the corpse qi disperses, I obviously feel that the speed of the mountain god is much slower.
Without waiting for the mountain god to stabilize his body, Liang Houzai's evil talisman had broken through the air and accurately attached to the mountain god's waist, and this time, the corpse qi on the mountain god's body dispersed for another three or four points.
It writhed as if trying to avoid me, who was rushing towards it, but the corpse was so dissipated that its body seemed to freeze, and its movement became very slow.
I severed its left leg with a sword, and as it lost its center of gravity, a gunshot rang out from outside the woods, and the armor-piercing bullet struck the mountain god's chest, instantly breaking a huge bloody hole in its chest.
Liang Houzai finally finished and pasted the three soul sealing talismans on the door of the mountain god's head.
The last corpse-transformed mountain god finally "died" completely, all the corpse qi on its body was scattered, and its flesh began to decay rapidly, emitting a violent putrid smell.
From the time we fought with the mountain god until now, Renqing has not appeared, and I sensed the mental power, and it is still staying in place.
It was so close that Liang Houzai could also sense the village where the telekinesis was coming from, and he looked in the direction where the telekinesis was coming and then looked at me. I made a silent gesture and lip-synced to Hakuzai: "Be careful." ”
Liang Houzai nodded and quickly retreated behind me.
The two of us just touched forward one after the other, and when we were still two or three meters away from the telekinesis, the holder of the telekinesis still did not move.
At such a close distance, even if the other party can't sense the Qi field on us, it should be heard by our footsteps, what is he doing, why has he not moved?
I pointed to a cedar tree not far away, and motioned for Liang Houzai to lean over, from that position, my eyes passed through the tall grass and trees directly opposite, and I should be able to see the situation two or three meters ahead.
Liang Houzai quickly leaned down and rushed to the tree as fast as he could, leaning against the tree to look ahead, I looked at him, and he shook his head at me.
Didn't see anything? How is this possible.
I took a deep breath and quietly lifted a corner of the fire silk cloth that wrapped the Fantian seal, and then quickly swooped down for a distance, coming to the place where the telekinesis was entrenched.
There was no one here, and that mental power was now entrenched at my feet.
I removed the soles of my feet, only to find that there was a doll made of hay buried in the soil, half of its body was buried in the soil, and the other half of its body had been flattened by me, and there was a talisman the size of a fingernail attached to it, and the telekinesis emanated from this talisman.
Liang Houzai also came to my side, he looked at the puppet on the ground, and couldn't help frowning: "What is this?" ”
I shook my head: "I don't know what the trick is, it looks like we've been tricked by Renqing again." He's not here at all. ”
Liang Houzai looked at the puppet on the ground, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and a pair of fists were clenched tightly. He was angry, and it was the first time I'd ever seen Hakujae get angry at such a juncture.
I patted Liang Houzai's shoulder: "Houzai, be calm." ”
Liang Houzai looked up at me and nodded.
When Liang Houzai and I returned along the same road, Liu Shangang had already come to the vicinity of the mountain god's corpse with a sniper rifle, and when he saw me and Liang Houzai, he pointed to the mountain god's corpse: "An arm has been broken." ”
It was only after he said this that I found out that the right arm of the mountain god had been cut off by elbows a long time ago, and the fracture seemed to have been burned, and the skin and flesh were all curly and swollen.
Liu Shangang raised his head towards us again: "Didn't catch Renqing? ”
I shook my head: "We've been tricked, Renqing isn't here." ”
Liu Shangang scratched his forehead, and after a little contemplation, he said to me: "No, just now I obviously heard four footsteps in the forest, you, Liang Houzai, the mountain god, who is the other one?" ”
Liang Houzai and I looked at each other, and then Liang Houzai asked Liu Shangang: "Where did the fourth footstep go?" ”
Liu Shangang: "It went due north, and it was very fast, and it left my hearing range in the blink of an eye. Although I also think that voice is Renqing's, but with our speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with him. ”
I immediately said to Liu Shangang: "No matter what method we use, we have to find him." ”
Liu Shangang scratched his forehead again, he seemed to think of something, snapped his fingers, and then took out a strange-looking glasses from his backpack.
The glasses looked very bulky, the lens mouth was also narrow on the left and wide on the right, and above the lens on the right, there was also a complex instrument with a structure.
I quickly remembered what this thing was, this was the tracking scope, when we were dealing with Zhao Dekai in Baiwu Mountain, I used it to find Zhao Dekai's footprints.
Liu Shangang was not in a hurry to take it after taking it out, he put the sniper rifle behind his back, and shrugged his nose as he moved through the woods.
I didn't know what he was going to do, but I followed him anyway. Liu Shangang walked around the forest a few times, and finally came to the cedar tree closest to the puppet.
He shrugged his nose again and asked me, "Brother Dao, do you smell a strange smell?" ”
I also sniffed it carefully, and it did smell strange, it was a tea aroma, mixed with a rusty smell similar to rust.
I nodded at Liu Shangang, Liu Shangang squatted down again, sniffed carefully in the grass, and said to himself: "The blood stains have been covered, it's amazing." ”
After saying that, he put on the sounding scope, waved at me and Liang Houzai, and then half-squatted in the direction of due north and west, and Liang Houzai and I followed closely behind him.
After leaving the woods, there is a large meadow, which is untended all year round, and the height of the wild grass is almost shoulder high, making it very difficult to move.
Liu Shanang's eyes have been falling on the ground, I have used his tracking scope, the instrument mounted on the right frame has a high delay in operation, and the traces shown are not very clear, so Liu Shangang has to pause slightly every few steps and wait for the instrument to image.
Coupled with the fact that the road was already difficult to walk, our speed became very slow, and I was very anxious, but there was nothing I could do.
At first, Liu Shangang kept walking in the direction of due north, but after an hour, he suddenly changed direction and took Liang Houzai and me in the direction of due south.
I asked Liu Shangang why he had retreated, and Liu Shangang said that he had moved in search of the blood, and that the bloodstains in the grass had bent a big way not far in front of him and extended in the direction of the altar.
As we moved farther and farther south, I sensed a corpse gas gradually filling the air.
This corpse aura only appeared after Liu Shangang turned around.
At the same time as the corpse qi appeared, there was also the sound of gurgling water not far away, the sound was very urgent, muffled, and vaguely echoed, and I guessed that this sound must have come from an underground river vein.
After another twenty minutes or so, Liu Shangang stopped, he stood in place and waited for a while, then took off the scope and searched for it on the ground with a pair of naked eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked Liu Shangang in the back.
Liu Shangang squatted down, looked carefully at the grass on the ground, and responded: "It's weird, the blood stains suddenly disappeared when they arrived." ”
