Chapter 163: Attacked
As soon as he entered the woods, the light immediately dimmed, and the black shadows that seemed to be lumps of black shadows just now also turned into large patches of ink, which could only be distinguished when the trees were less than half a meter away from him. In such an environment, I quickly lost the purpose that had flashed by and began to look forward and backward in this darkness. After a few turns, it seems that I can't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and I can't find the way from it anymore.
When I looked up, the starry sky was also obscured by a dense canopy of trees, and I had to look at the stars to find my way unless I climbed into a tree.
But looking at these trees in front of me, I don't know how long they have grown, and how thick each one is, how easy is it to climb it with your hands and feet? I only came out to worship with incense this time, and I didn't bring anything like a rope. All of a sudden, I was at a loss.
In desperation, he couldn't care if he would reveal his location, so he found a thick branch and lit it with a fire. I took a closer look at the surroundings by the flickering firelight, and found that except for one side that seemed to have a shadow not far ahead, and I don't know if it was the end of the woods, the rest of the directions looked like a continuous forest, and there was no hope of going out at all.
There was no choice, even if I walked in the direction of the shadow, even if it wasn't the edge of the forest, as long as the trees were a little sparse so that I could see the sky, I would be able to tell the way.
But this distance seemed very close, but it seemed unexpectedly long to walk, and the shadow seemed to be close at hand, but as I continued to move forward, it seemed to keep retreating, and I never let me touch it.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally stopped again and hesitated. It seems that my attempt just now did not work, and it would be unwise to continue walking around in such a dark wood! Although I really want to go back and join Rui Wei and them before dawn, looking at the current situation, it is not possible to wait for sunrise here.
"There's no way, let's just start a fire here and wait for dawn." I say. Of course, this was said to Tao Zhihuan.
But he didn't answer me for a long time, which made me feel a little strange, and said, "Tao Zhihuan? What are you doing, talking! ”
To be honest, although Tao Zhihuan is not strictly a "person", in such an environment, even if it is just a voice in my heart, it seems to be a comfort, which can greatly reduce my loneliness.
I held my breath to wait for him to speak, but when I listened closely, I didn't hear his usual response, but I heard a faint crackling sound, as if something was moving slowly not far away, stepping on a broken branch on the ground.
At this critical moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing out the torch in my hand.
From the light to the dark, the vision became dark, but it increased the concentration of hearing, and I could clearly hear that the crackling sound seemed to be slowly approaching me, and it was very fast!
I remained silent, the quenching moon was already out of the sheath, secretly held in my right hand, regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost, as long as I dared to approach me, I would give him a dagger first.
With a sound of wind, a sense of oppression came from the rear violently, and I quickly turned around without hesitation, and raised the quenching moon is wave!
In fact, this bottom-up random wave is just to prevent a sneak attack from the rear, which can be prevented and attacked to intimidate the other party, and then make plans for a while, and did not use too much strength, who knows that under this wave, the right hand sank, as if it collided with something I don't know, only to hear a "choking" sound, something flew to the side, and fell into the darkness.
This kind of feel seems to be similar, when I looked at the opposite side, I saw a "person" standing straight in front of me, holding a knife in his hand, but after touching the sharp blade quenching the moon, the front half has long been gone.
"Who?" I held the moon diagonally in front of me to protect the portal and yelled at him.
But the other party just stood quietly, did not answer me, and did not move.
In the middle of the night, wandering in the sparsely populated suburban woods, even if you are a human, you are not a normal person! Except for me.
But whether he is a human or a ghost, it must be right to brake quietly, I have been with Rui Wei for so long, but I have heard her talk about ghosts, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, if I have the opportunity to see it, I can also open my eyes!
I was thinking about it in my heart, and the back of my head was cold, and it seemed that something was already close to me!
Oops! I only thought that this guy in front of me was acting alone, I didn't expect him to have such a tactic! I was trying to dodge sideways, but my waist tightened, and two arms were already holding me around my waist, and under the struggle, it was like an iron hoop, and I couldn't move a bit!
And at the same time, the man who had been silent in front of him suddenly stepped forward, raised his half-cut knife high, and was about to slash at me head-on!
I was so shocked that I couldn't think much about it, and with a return of my hand, I turned the quenching moon of my right hand upside down and stabbed it straight into the arms around my waist.
This is an extremely risky approach, such a stabbing method, if the force is light, will not pose a threat to the other party; If you use too much strength, in case the other party suddenly lets go, it is the rhythm of suicide by disembowelment!
So I didn't aim at the middle of my abdomen, but just stabbed me in the flank, and even if I did hurt myself, it wasn't fatal!
With a "plop", Quenyue accurately pierced into the arm, and under the stab, I was shocked, screamed wow, used all my body weight to push back, and staggered back a few steps with the person behind me, and lay down on the ground with a "plop".
Almost as soon as I fell backwards, the blade of the man on the other side almost slashed down against the tip of my nose, and if I hadn't leaned back in time, I was afraid that I would have been split in half by the head!
But at the same time, I also saw the face of the person in front of me clearly, it was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, with a stiff face, blank eyes, and a disheveled head, ragged clothes, no matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like a living person, but like a zombie seen in the movie!
And the reason why I gave up the plan to stab my arm and force him to let go was because at the moment of quenching the moon into the flesh, I completely did not feel the elasticity and resistance of the muscles when they resisted the sharp object. It felt more like it had been pierced into a mess of mud, sticky, and with it an indescribably pungent stench.
I'm familiar with this stench, it's the stench of corpses, the unique smell of rotting flesh and blood of the dead! (To be continued.) )
