Chapter 17: The Dead Arrow
I saw two half-human, half-corpse things that pounced fiercely, and at the moment when they both raised their shovels in their hands, they actually stopped in unison after the muffled sound came out, and then fell straight down!
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What's going on?!" ”
"Don't go over!" I just wanted to step forward, but I was severely stopped by Bu Yique, looking at his frightened face, I didn't dare to move again, but there must be something wrong with the two things on the other side suddenly falling, what's going on?
"You shouldn't be here!"
Suddenly, a cold and solemn voice sounded behind us, I turned my head sharply, but saw a tall figure holding a huge bow and arrow in the darkness, at this moment he was staring at me and Bu Yique, I didn't know why, trembling asked, "You...... This...... Who are you?! ”
The figure in the darkness snorted angrily when he heard this, and then said, "Let's go!" ”
After speaking, the figure disappeared in a flash, I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say, turned around, I glanced at Bu Yique, this time Bu Yique did not object, we cautiously approached -
With the faint light, I looked at the chests of the two corpses in a daze, and it was clear that they were each hit with an iron arrow, and now I finally understood what was going on with the muffled sound just now, it turned out that the figure had shot an iron arrow in the dark, and the sound of hitting the two people's chests was ...... Are there just two lives gone?
I couldn't help but ask, "Are they dead?" ”
Bu Yique stretched out his hand and lifted the leg and foot with wounds, and then grinned and cried out in pain: "Who knows, if it is a normal person, it is strange if it is not dead, but if it is ......"
"Zombies?!" I hurriedly continued.
Bu Yique didn't speak, just nodded heavily, the meaning was obvious, if the two people lying on the ground were zombies, it was impossible to say whether they would die or not!
I looked up at the road ahead, fearing that I would have to pass over the bodies of both of them, so I kicked it hard and tried.
"Knock knock!"
"Ouch~~" The sharp pain as if kicking on the iron plate immediately came from the toes, I screamed in pain and hugged my feet, but my heart kept bubbling with cold air, why is this corpse so stiff?! Even if the corpse has been dead for three or five days, it will not be so stiff, because no matter how hard a human bone is, it cannot be harder than iron, so to speak...... These two things must be zombies!
Wrong! According to Master, zombies are made by absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and their own resentment is their strength, and their strength is comparable to that of a strong ox.
What is this iron arrow? Can you stab a zombie to death?!
I slowly bent down, just wanted to take a closer look at what material this iron arrow was made of or what kind of Dao Gate magic weapon, but was pulled up by Bu Yique, who smashed it and urged with a big mouth: "It's too late to hide, what are you going to do?" If people let us go, let's go! ”
Although I was afraid, curiosity seemed to have outweighed fear, and since entering the Dao Gate, I seemed to be very interested in all strange things, and wanted to touch their mysterious veils, and often under the mysterious veils, the mysteries and mysteries hidden were even more tempting, such as the demon rope used by the old Taoist before, and the sword of cloth evil on my back......
I glanced left and right, and immediately broke free from Bu Yixi, and said cautiously: "All laws are one, let's see what's the matter, not to mention that you and my master let us travel the world not to gain more knowledge, right?" ”
Bu Yique scratched his skull anxiously for a while, and urged helplessly: "Then hurry up, I always feel that this place is more panicked than anywhere before!" ”
I didn't agree, but poured all my thoughts into the big iron arrow on the zombie's chest, this iron arrow was three feet upward, my fingers were placed on it, and the tentacles were cold and piercing breath climbing up along the arm, so fast that I quickly let go, and then inexplicably I remembered the black nail rake that pierced Bu Yi's missing foot just now, it seems that the cold breath of the black nail rake and the cold breath of this iron arrow are surprisingly similar, is it possible......
It was indeed iron, and the tail of the arrow was obviously rusty, and there was a small black rope shuttling between the three-edged iron feathers, and the small rope formed a small ring, and I smelled a fishy smell coming to my nose before I could touch it, and I couldn't help but subconsciously stay away from it.
Suddenly, I was attracted by a few inscriptions on the body of the arrow below, a few golden simple inscriptions that were crooked, obviously not ordinary Chinese characters, very similar to the ancient seal characters taught by the old gentleman of the private school when I was in Shibali Village.
I gently stroked the inscription on it, and then looked up and asked Bu Yiqing: "Yique, do you recognize the seal characters?" ”
Bu Yique frowned, as if the pain in the soles of his feet made him unable to bend down, I grabbed the weird iron arrow with my hand, and said, "Look at ......"
"Wait! ...... you on the seventh day of the first month" Bu Yique immediately screamed and waved his hands, I raised the iron arrow, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You, you, you look back......"
I was shocked, I suddenly understood why Bu Yique was panicked, and my body slowly turned around, only to see that the zombie who had been pulled out of the iron arrow was gradually squirming, and the pair of dark eyes suddenly stared at me, I subconsciously trembled, and swung the iron arrow and inserted it again!
Fortunately, the iron arrow was accurately inserted back into place, still stuck in the chest of the zombie, and the zombie under the arrow also slammed down, and then straightened up and couldn't move.
"!" I was covered in a cold sweat, and stood up with a casual insult, and at this time, Bu Yique was listening attentively to something, I also calmed down and listened carefully, only to hear a dense "rustle" sound slowly around me, dare to feel that this place is really uneasy!
Bu Yique and I glanced at each other, and we didn't care about studying the mystery of the iron arrow, so we immediately supported each other without saying a word and hurried forward.
The road ahead was bumpy, and there were chaotic forests everywhere, coupled with Bu Yique's foot injury, running was quite slow, but in the face of such a strange environment, we had to take out all our strength to run desperately, and I didn't know how long we ran, maybe because the solemn atmosphere was too depressing, or maybe because this place was already evil to the extreme, all the way down, the surrounding sound not only did not decrease, but became more and more dense!
I ran briskly with my head in my arms and Bu Yique, but Bu Yique shouted in time: "Seventh year of the first month, what do you see around?!" ”
I was reminded by Bu Yique, I hurriedly raised my head, but saw a large circle of black pressure around me, I didn't know what was approaching us, and closed us in a kind of encirclement, I felt a sudden rush in my heart, and when I saw that the situation was not good, I immediately glanced around, and finally hurriedly stared at a strange gap in front and shouted: "There's nothing there, let's run out of there!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Bu Yiqi ran in front of him, I was aggrieved, this guy can run and not run by himself, so that I used up most of my strength all the way, I have to say that this guy's fat is really cumbersome, shaking his head, Bu Yique has already run far ahead, how dare I fall behind, with a smear of oil under my feet, I hurriedly chased after him-
At the moment of rushing out of the gap, the things that came up around us also took a look at each other, and I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, this ...... These things turned out to be exactly the same as the two zombies I had seen before, with stiff movements and hollow eyes, as if there was a faint vicious aura in those empty eyes!
So many zombie monsters......
Fortunately, at the last moment we ran out of the encirclement, but immediately we were stunned, unable to take another step forward, but could retreat backwards, for no other reason, just because a tall black figure was raising a bow and arrow aimed at us, seeing this scene where I dare to move, just now I saw the man shot two zombies in a posture that knew that if this iron arrow was shot in our chest, even if we did not die, we would not be happy.
"Who are you?!"
The black figure in front of him suddenly spoke, but the voice was not the same as before, this person's voice was old and full of anger, it seemed that it was an old man.
I hurriedly raised my hands and said in a trembling voice: "Don't do it, old man!" We're all good people, we're ......."
In the face of the cold and terrifying arrows, I gradually lost my words.
"You're human?!"
The old man of the black shadow asked in his voice with a little surprise, but still with cold anger.
Bu Yiqi opened his mouth in a hurry: "Of course we are people!" We...... Hehe, don't be angry, sir, we are human. ”
"Tuk!"
At this moment, there was a deep muffled sound in the old man's hand, and my heart tightened, and I almost sat down on the ground, and at the last moment, a black arc flashed through my eyes like lightning, and then I heard a heavy blow behind me.
I turned my head suddenly, but saw a skinny zombie frozen to the ground by the old man's sharp arrows, and the place where it fell was obviously only one step away from the two of us, and its hands were torn, seeing this, even the fool understood that the old man saved us!
But the danger was not over, although the nearest zombie fell, but more zombies appeared one after another, and because of the dim light, I couldn't see what they were wearing, but I could vaguely see them in tattered kaftans and gowns, rushing in crowds.
Suddenly lost his mind, and the old man not far away suddenly scolded loudly: "What are you stunned?!" If you don't want to die, come here! ”
I woke up suddenly, grabbed Bu Yique and shouted, "Run-"
