26, the return of Gam
Last year, Qiao Wei and I once killed a skinwalker, and I don't know how powerful a skinwalker is, because as long as there are silver tools, the skinwalker will become extremely fragile, and if it is combined with ultraviolet spotlights, the skinwalker will be easier to deal with.
But herein lies the problem!
We don't have a mission silver item right now, and we don't have a UV searchlight, so we're going to have to face off against a monster that can turn into an animal and swallow a person in one gulp, and can skin a human skin alive!
"Deputy Sergeant, do you have anything made of silver on you? Silver-plated or silver-wicked ones are fine! Qiao Wei asked quickly.
"Silver?"
The deputy sergeant was a little panicked - after encountering all kinds of strange things and now seeing a warehouse of skinless people, any word from Qiao Wei would make the deputy sheriff nervous - he asked as he seemed to feel aimlessly, he himself probably didn't know what he was looking for.
"Do you have anything silver?" Mustache also asked the other two officers.
"I have it!" The new officer answered, and then removed a ring from his little finger without any ornaments or patterns. "It's silver."
The mustache hurriedly took it and handed it to Qiao Wei and said, "Do you think this is okay?" β
Qiao Wei couldn't help but scratch his head when he looked at the small ring on the deputy sheriff's hand, "To be honest, I don't know if this thing will work, but it's better than nothing." β
After taking the ring, Qiao Wei also immediately ordered the deputy sergeant: "You three try to stay in a place with a wide field of vision, and shoot any animal that you see approaching you immediately, don't hesitate!" I'll take care of the rest, got it? β
"Understand !!" Deputy Sheriff Mustache nodded vigorously, then beckoned the other two officers to move towards the dock together.
The lake is undoubtedly the most open view of the woods.
The mustache isn't the focus of our attention, the biggest test is undoubtedly the upcoming Skinwalker, and the only thing we have on our hands that can be called a weapon is a small silver ring.
Qiao Wei and I stood side by side at the door of the barn, facing the direction from which the horse was coming from in the woods.
"What are you going to do with it?" I asked.
"If it's big, knock it over with mud; If it's small, use the Blood Doll to control it, and if I can keep it under control, I'll stuff the ring into its head! Qiao Wei replied simply.
It's definitely not a big move, but we can only take it one step at a time.
Another sound of horses came from the forest, Qiao Wei grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it on the ground, and the mud arhat quickly took shape and stood in front of us like a high wall. Immediately afterwards, Qiao Wei used a knife to cut a small infusion on his left thumb, just like a ninja using spiritism to summon the big-headed monster baby with wrinkled skin.
As before, the big-headed monster baby appeared out of thin air, and then lay on Qiao Wei's back and sucked his thumb.
I still don't know exactly how this head should be classified, it's obviously not your average ghost, as it can perform very direct physical attacks; But it can appear and disappear out of thin air, and it is also afraid of the sun, which is very similar to the mud arhats, and perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they also originate from the head-lowering technique.
I didn't really want to understand how the blood doll works, but I just wanted to use it to distract me a little.
There is no doubt that the muscular people hanging in the barn were all skinned and hung there by the leather walkers, and among them were four exorcists arranged by Qiao Wei's father. I've seen how exorcists fight wizards, and if all four of them are planted in the hands of the Leather Walker, what are the chances of Qiao Wei and I winning?
As my brain was overrun by these jumbled questions, there was finally movement in the woods, this time without the neighing of the horses, but I could clearly hear the sound of the horses' hooves.
Soon, a tall jujube red horse appeared in the woods. Its appearance was so abrupt that it did not gradually approach from a distance, but gradually formed from nothing like a fog!
It walked towards Qiao Wei and me with easy steps, I couldn't read the horse's expression, and I couldn't tell what it was thinking from its big eyes, but there was absolutely no fear in its steps, it thought it had won.
Where does its self-confidence come from?
Do leather walkers have hidden abilities that we don't know about?
And as the horse got closer, I finally understood that the four exorcists of Weishenme would be killed, and Weishenme's horse did not have the slightest fear. There really is no reason for fear in it, not just because we are monsters, but because it - or "them" would be more accurate - they are overwhelmingly numerous!
Around the horse, a large number of pet cats and small pet dogs had gathered, and they all walked towards the barn in unison, and all their eyes were looking at me and Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei has a silver ring on his hand, and that's the only weapon we can use against the Leather Walker, but that's not enough!
"Deputy Sheriff!" Qiao Wei shouted, "Take your people and run!" Come on! Run back to town and find all the silver weapons and fluorescent lamps you can use! β
"Oh...... Oh, I see! The deputy sheriff stammered, and then led his men in the opposite direction to the animals in the forest.
The Deputy Sheriff's actions immediately provoked a strong reaction from the animals in the forest, and they suddenly began to accelerate, and as they ran forward, they quickly swelled and grew in size, and in a matter of seconds they were all behemoths with horns on their heads, and their running patterns changed from four-legged to two-legged, and their free arms were their weapons of attack.
We can't stop them!
"Running !!!"
Qiao Wei also made the same judgment as me at the same time, he shouted loudly, and at the same time turned his head and ran.
At the same time as I saw that large group of animals, the idea of running for my life was already swirling in my brain, and after hearing Qiao Wei's voice, I immediately turned around and acted, running at no slower speed than Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei grabbed the dirt on the ground continuously while running and threw it directly behind me, I didn't look back, but when I heard those rumbling sounds, I knew that the mud arhat was gradually forming behind us. I don't know if these mud arhats without Qiao Wei's command can play a role in blocking the leather walkers, and I don't have time to care about these, now is not the time to react faster than the brain, but whose legs are faster!
Our policemen stopped on the other side of the lake, but the leather walkers came from the direction of the bridge, and Qiao Wei and I had to run along the shore of the lake in the opposite direction. Although we fled a few steps later than the mustaches, we soon caught up with the three policemen who had run ahead of time, and it seemed that their cars were parked on the other side.
The sound of clattering footsteps behind me was getting closer and closer, and I knew very well in my heart that it would definitely not be a way to escape like this, but I couldn't think of any way to fight it.
What to do?
Do you have to fight hard? Or wait until you run to exhaustion and be skinned alive by those skinwalkers?
And just as I was hesitating whether it was time to stop and fight with the Leather Walker, the shore of the lake suddenly became foggy! The fog came so fast that almost in a blink of an eye our surroundings were gray, and the woods were already dark, so we couldn't see the road ahead.
Whew~!!!
Suddenly a wolf howl was heard in the mist, and at the same time, a behemoth leaped out of the fog directly in front of usβthe blood wolf that had been chasing me during the day!
It still wore a dark red "blood suit" and looked majestic, and it jumped in front of us without a moment's pause before jumping again, jumping directly over our heads and rushing straight behind us to the thumping footsteps behind us, followed by a series of animal wails, and soon, these cries became the cries of human beings, both men and women......
Now I figured out once and for all that the cries for help I had seen in the fog were just a distress call by the skinwalkers during their near-death experience - their companions couldn't count on them, so they used deception to ask for help from humans.
But I'm not going to fall for them this time like I did during the day, since I'm so interested in the Skinwalker, the twenty-odd monsters were handed over to him, and we didn't even look back, and continued to run beyond the fog ahead.
