After more than twenty corpses lay on it, the cannibals finally panicked and fled in all directions.

Xiao Yang ignored the cannibals who ran away, and hurriedly ran in the direction of Bai Yan. As soon as he walked around a grass hut, Xiao Yang saw two cannibal children, no more than waist tall, with bulging black eyes. They didn't seem to know to be afraid, and looked at him curiously. Xiao Yang raised his gun at them, but put it down again. Anyway, these children don't have combat effectiveness, so it's important to find someone first.

Xiao Yang ran a few more steps, bypassing the second grass shed, and in front of him was the place where the white smoke came out. That's when he stopped suddenly. He saw a thigh-long bone lying at his feet, still steaming, and some flesh tendons on it!

Xiao Yang felt his heart jump out. He took a deep breath, then looked up.

Ahead is a fire. Behind the fire stood a wooden stake, and directly above the stake hung a bloody human head, whose eyes were still open. That's an iron pillar!

Looking at Xiao Yang's familiar face, Xiao Yang fell to his knees and clenched his fists sadly. Companions who were together not long ago have now become like this! In this hellish world, human life is so fragile!

There was footsteps behind him. Xiao Yang immediately turned around and found that it was the two children who followed curiously.

"Bang bang bang-" Twenty gunshots rang out in a row, and the two cannibal children were beaten into a sieve. Xiao Yang's magazine was empty, and he kept pressing the trigger. For the first time in his life, he went berserk!

Xiao Yang hadn't calmed down after killing the two cannibal kids, so he put on new magazines and swept around the village. He would shoot a cannibal as soon as he saw it, whether it was a woman or a child. Killing these incapable enemies also has no karmic fire points, it is just a waste of bullets; But the tragic death of Tie Zhu lingered in Xiao Yang's mind, and he could only make himself forget this scene for a while by shooting the cannibals frantically.

In less than half an hour, all the cannibals who remained in the village were all killed by Xiao Yang. It was only by this time that he barely calmed down.

The bones of the man at the fire could only be put together as a corpse, and there was no indication that anyone else had been killed. However, in the process of killing the cannibals, Xiao Yang had already checked every corner of the village, but he did not find any trace of several other people. Are they still alive? If they live, where did they go?

However, just then, a voice came from the watch's horn.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Yang, can you hear me? I'm Peng Fei. ”

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly pressed the green button: "I'm here!" Where are you? What about everyone? ”

"Ah, you're really alive! That's great! Peng Fei said in surprise, "Come and save us!" We were captured by cannibals and are now being held in ...... Oops, that's not clear. Tell me where you are, and I'll show you where we are! ”

"I'm in the cannibal village! I've searched the whole village and still haven't found you! ”

"Great, you came with me after seeing my markings." Peng Fei asked again, "By the way, what about those cannibals?" ”

"I've killed all but those who escaped." Xiao Yang replied.

Peng Fei's face changed: "Did you even kill women and children?" ”

"Killed a lot."

"Alas......" Peng Fei shook his head and sighed, and only after a few seconds did he ask, "...... What about the iron pillar, did you see him? ”

“…… I see it...... His corpse. Xiao Yang said in a low voice, "Eh, don't talk about this." You only asked Tiezhu alone, that means everyone else is okay, right? ”

"Well, we're safe for now. Although the three of them are still in a coma, they should be fine. It's just that we can't escape now, and we need you to save us. Peng Fei said, "We are locked up in the river south of the village, and the specific situation is not easy to explain, so come over quickly!" ”

Although he didn't understand what Peng Fei meant by "being locked up in the river", Xiao Yang immediately ran to the south of the village. There he saw a shallow river, presumably a tributary of the previous one. At this time, Xiao Yang's radar also showed four green light spots, and he walked along the river for a while, and finally saw the figures of his teammates.

"Brother Yang!" Peng Fei waved at him, "You're finally here." ”

Xiao Yang looked at the scene in the river and couldn't help but say, "I kind of understand what you just said." ”

It turned out that Peng Fei and the other four were put in a cage made of wood and thrown in the middle of the river. On the surface, the clothes of several of them were still intact and there were no injuries, but except for Peng Fei, the other three were closed, as if they were asleep. Only a small portion of the cage floated out on the water, just enough for a few of them to have their heads out to breathe. The cage was not very strong, but around the cage, dozens of medium-sized crocodiles were floating, staring at the people in the cage. If they try to break the cage and escape, they will be torn to shreds by the crocodiles. That's why Peng Fei said, "I was locked up in the river and couldn't escape."

"Brother Yang, you look back, there is a wooden pole more than ten meters long, and there is a barb on it. You just reach over the pole and hook the cage and pull it back to the shore. Peng Fei said.

Xiao Yang found the wooden pole according to his words, slowly hooked the cage, and pulled it to the shore. The crocodiles followed closely behind the cage, and Xiao Yang, in a fit of rage, shot one of the crocodiles in the eye, trying to drive them away. As a result, the crocodile immediately dived into the water in pain, while the other crocodiles followed the cage. * There are not many bullets, Xiao Yang doesn't want to waste it on the crocodile anymore, and his brows are twisted together.

"Don't worry about these crocodiles. If I'm not mistaken, we should be in the realm of the old movie "Amazon Cannibals", these crocodiles are ordinary caimans, generally only hunting in the water, and they dare not go ashore when there are people on the shore. Peng Fei said.

Xiao Yang relieved himself and continued to pull the cage. Sure enough, when the cage was pulled to the shore and there were still five or six meters to the shore, the crocodiles were unwilling to swim back into the river.

Xiao Yang finally pulled the cage ashore and then dismantled the cage. Peng Fei got out first, and together with Xiao Yang, he dragged the other three out of the cage. The three of them slept soundly, and they also snored slightly, unaware of their movements.

"They've been blown by cannibals, and they don't know when they'll wake up." Peng Fei said, "I don't feel how I shake them, pump them, or hit them." ”

Xiao Yangqi said: "Then why did you wake up so quickly?" ”

"Their blowguns didn't hit me, but I immediately closed my eyes and pretended to be unconscious, while quietly making a mark on the ground. Later, the cannibals carried us back to the village without checking and put us in cages, not even tied up. Peng Fei said sadly, "I was still happy to have the opportunity to escape, but after a while, they came and took the iron pillar away......

Xiao Yang thought of Tie Zhu's death, and only felt sick to his stomach, but he still cheered up and comforted Peng Fei and said, "Forget it, this matter is over, don't think about it." Anyway, you're all alive, that's good. ”

“…… If only it weren't this dead fat pig alive here, it was an iron pillar. Peng Fei kicked Wen Xingping hard, and kicked several times in a row and still didn't get rid of his hatred. Wen Xingping let him kick around, and there was no reaction.

"Why?" Xiao Yang asked.

"It's just that this fat pig is crazy, and he has to look for some blood orchid, but he runs away from the team and is targeted by cannibals. Brother Cui had already discovered the cannibals at that time, but when he was about to save the fat pig, he was hit by a blow arrow. How can the rest of us deal with the enemy? Only Tie Zhu picked up Brother Cui's gun and fought back, wounding a cannibal, and then everyone was caught. Peng Fei recounted the situation at that time.

"I see. In this case, it is fortunate that I went into the water to get the snake gem, otherwise we would all be doomed. Xiao Yang couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Although I was in danger just now, I was lucky in a sense.

"Actually, I'm dead, I didn't expect you to come back alive." Peng Fei asked again, "By the way, then have you completed your mission?" ”

"It's a fluke." Xiao Yang thought of the huge breeding snake ball and the female forest snake that flew up wildly, and then thought of the Blood Orchid Emperor he happened to meet, and said from the bottom of his heart.

"That's great." Peng Fei's eyes looked at the shotgun on Xiao Yang's waist, "Brother Yang, you can use the shotgun for me." ”

"It's okay for you, but—" Xiao Yang's tone changed, "I don't think you have ever used a gun, have you?" It's easy for a novice to injure himself with a gun. ”

"I haven't used it, but I see Brother Cui use it, so I know how to shoot. Give it to me. Peng Fei said worriedly, "I'm worried that the cannibal counterattack will come soon." ”

Xiao Yang patted him on the shoulder: "I killed many of them, and the rest were scared away, don't worry so much." ”

"It is precisely because you killed so many of them, even women and children, that they will definitely come back to you for revenge." Peng Fei sighed, "Brother Yang, you are too impulsive in this matter. ”

"Do you know how miserable the Iron Pillar died? I couldn't stand it when I saw it! Xiao Yang yelled at Peng Fei, "It's because you didn't see it, that's why you said such things!" ”

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I can imagine it. His head must have been cut off and hung on a stake, and all that was left on the ground was leftover bones and some scraps. Peng Fei looked at Xiao Yang, "But even so, you shouldn't kill all the women and children of the cannibals." ”

"Are you trying to teach me a lesson? I didn't kill them entirely on impulse! "Xiao Yang is on fire," I also thought about it at the time, after killing women and children, those cannibals will definitely come back to take revenge! But so what? I have roughly estimated the population of this cannibal village to never exceed 60 people. The cannibal combat effectiveness is not good at all, and they are just using poisoned blowguns to sneak attack to make people unguardable. Just be careful, with my marksmanship, I won't have a problem solving them all! ”

"Brother Yang, don't worry. Listen to me. Peng Fei said solemnly, "When a few of us were captured by the cannibals, the sages reminded us: 'The event of the main quest has been triggered, and we will enter the first area of the main quest, the cannibal village'. Did you hear that then? ”

"Nope. When you say this sentence of the sages, it means......"

"We're already working on the main quest right now." Peng Fei analyzed, "But these cannibals are just enemies with very average combat effectiveness. On the radar, the point of light that indicates them is orange; I don't know what danger level this stands for, but it's clearly far worse than red. And in your random task, you can't count how many red-dot-level big forest snakes there are in the breeding snake ball. ”

"I see what you mean." Xiao Yang frowned, "You mean, there are even more powerful enemies in the cannibal clan!" Because it is common sense to deduce that the enemies in the main quest should be stronger than the ones in the random quest. ”

"Yes...... Peng Fei looked in the direction of the village, "I guess this enemy is even more difficult to deal with than the breeding snake ball you encountered." ”

Xiao Yang fell silent. Since being rescued by Xiao Yang from Shekou, Peng Fei has regained his strength and shown his ability to judge accurately. Although Peng Fei is not necessarily much smarter than everyone else, and there are many subjective guesses, this boy has at least hit the core of the problem several times.

"What you said is just conjecture, and there is not enough evidence. However, I'll trust you for the time being. Xiao Yang said and took off the shotgun and handed it to Peng Fei, "Lend the gun to you, be careful not to hurt yourself." ”

"Whew-" An eerie scream suddenly came from the direction of the village.

At the same time, Xiao Yang's watch sounded. Xiao Yang looked down at the dial, and saw a large number of orange points of light appeared on the radar of the enemy, surrounded by a black fork, circling around the village, very close to where Xiao Yang and the others were. Judging by the path of the black fork, it will soon be coming this way.

“…… What is this black fork? Xiao Yang muttered to himself.

"That's ...... Emblem of the Soul Emissary! A familiar tone came from behind Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang turned around and looked at the person who spoke in surprise: "Cui Wenren, have you woken up?" ”

"It's been half a minute since I woke up, it's just too embarrassing, I don't have the face to speak." Cui Wenren said self-deprecatingly, "As a veteran, I actually fell into this situation, and I want you, a rookie, to save me." ”

Peng Fei hurriedly went to see the other two people, but saw that they were still unconscious.

"I'm in a better fit than theirs, so wake up faster. Ignore them, and they'll probably have to wake up in a few more hours. Cui Wenren said, beckoning to Peng Fei, "Boy, return the gun to me." You are a weak little rookie, just hide behind obediently. ”

Peng Fei calmly returned the shotgun to Cui Wenren: "It's just an expedient measure for me to use it, of course this kind of thing is the most suitable for you to use, Brother Cui." ”

"What do you mean by the Soul Charmer?" Xiao Yang asked Cui Wenren.

"Soul Envoys don't have a fixed form, but they have one thing in common, that is, they can't be killed. No matter how many times you kill it, even if you burn it to ashes, it will continue to respawn intact and then hunt you down. Always hook your soul behind you, and you can't get rid of it, this is the soul hooker. Cui Wenren explained.

"So what do we do now? Escape? Xiao Yang frowned.

"Of course I have to escape. But first, we have to wake these two people up. Cui Wenren took out a black box the size of a USB flash drive from his clothes.

Xiao Yang asked, "What's that?" ”

"Miniature stunner, waterproof." Cui Wenren lowered his body as he spoke, and put the black box on the back of Wang Hanren's head. I saw Wang Hanren's body twitch, and he quickly woke up.

“…… Why am I here? Wang Hanren said and found Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, you are also ......"

Xiao Yang didn't speak, only nodded. Wang Hanren's complexion improved a lot after seeing Xiao Yang, and he stood up from the ground.

Cui Wenren took the electric shocker and clicked Wen Xingping again. Wen Xingping also twitched, but he didn't open his eyes. Cui Wenren slapped him twice in the face, but he still didn't move.

"Let's go, leave the fat man alone. Anyway, this guy will only drag his feet and let the soul envoy kill him. Cui Wenren said.

"Don't leave me alone!" Wen Xingping jumped up all of a sudden.

Xiao Yang was speechless: "It turns out that you woke up." ”

It's a fucking miracle that this kind of person has survived until now.

"I just wanted to lie down a little longer." Wen Xingping said cheekily. He looked around him again, and shouted as if he had made some big discovery: "Hey, where is the iron pillar?" ”

Xiao Yang and Peng Fei both looked to the side and didn't speak. Cui Wenren snorted: "Do you still need to ask this kind of question?" At first glance, you can tell that it was eaten by cannibals. It can only be said that he was unlucky. ”

Hearing his inference, Wen Xingping fell silent. Wang Hanren grabbed Xiao Yang's sleeve tightly, and his body seemed to tremble. After entering "hell", they have seen a lot of death, and they are almost used to it.

"There's no time, run away." Xiao Yang was the first to start this time. The rest of the people also had a tacit understanding, and they didn't say much, and they all followed closely. Their clothes were all wet, but now no one cared about the little thing.

Walking south along the river, there is another forest, and the trees grow quite densely. And the deeper you go, the denser the tree grows. The crowd had run less than a kilometer, and there was almost no room for one person between the trees in front of them.

"Now we're safe." Peng Fei said suddenly, "It doesn't matter if you don't have to run desperately. ”

Xiao Yang raised his hand to look at the enemy's radar, and found that the enemy had indeed not followed, and was still wandering around the village. However, he did not relax, and continued to run, saying: "It's too early to say it's safe, so let's run quickly." ”

Peng Fei stopped: "I think it's better to stay in this forest and not continue to run." ”

"Why?" Xiao Yang asked in surprise.

"Don't you think it's strange? In this forest, there is not a single cannibal trap. Peng Fei said.

When he said this, everyone stopped. Peng Fei was indeed right, after walking for so long, everyone did not find any traps.

"When I pretended to be unconscious and was carried to the village by the cannibals, I secretly opened my eyes and observed several times along the way." Peng Fei added, "Near the cannibal village, there are many, many traps, all kinds of traps
