Chapter 24: The Bone Whistle
A moment ago, just as Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing were climbing down the rope into the deep pool, Chen Mu hid his body behind a tree, as if waiting for something.
A whistle sounded, sharp and urgent, as if urging, making people feel anxious.
The whistle sounded as if it was ringing in his ears, it was extremely clear, and Chen Mu could even feel the weeds around him trembling in the whistle.
He stood there like a tree beside him, motionless, and then the trunk and branches, completely hiding himself.
The whistle stopped abruptly!
Chen Mu moved, his head tilted in one direction, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be some movement there, and at the same time, someone faintly exclaimed.
Although he noticed the movement, which made Chen Mu curious, he still stood there, like a sculpture.
A few footsteps came to my ears, and the footsteps were very light, as if walking barefoot on the ground, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't notice that it was the sound of walking.
Chen Mu's eyes narrowed, and his shoulders contracted slightly, to make sure he wasn't discovered.
A swarthy figure, very dexterous and swift, approached the side, his wide-eyed eyes large and white, and he looked around.
In his mouth, there was a gray-white whistle, and it was the whistle that was blown just now to make a sound.
He was left unarmed, except for a piece of animal skin around his waist, and his feet were bare, and he was not aware of the occasional thorn under his feet.
If a tourist sees him, they will be able to recognize his identity at a glance - the headhunter Quipa!
Quipa listened intently and heard a faint movement in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he was very satisfied.
Satisfied, Kuipa moves his feet and walks forward!
In the Land of Blood Orchid, trees are very scarce. Even if there are some of them, they are just small trees, very inconspicuous. The tree in front of me, although it doesn't look very big, has a person's thigh-thick thigh, and it stands here to be particularly eye-catching.
Before he knew it, Kuipa was getting closer to the tree and trying to walk over it.
However, as soon as he walked to the tree, Kuipa suddenly froze for a moment, and felt as if he had caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, like a living thing, fleeting.
He cautiously stopped, turned his head and looked at it, but found nothing.
Shaking his head, Kuipa thought that he had misunderstood, since there was such a terrifying monster here, how could there be a living thing?
With that in mind, Kuipa stepped back on.
And at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Kuipa's shoulder, and the power from his hand made Kuipa startled!
Someone?!
The thought crossed Kuipa's mind in an instant, and by the time he found the hand, it was too late. The hand had left his shoulder and grabbed his throat.
The strength in his hands was so great that he almost couldn't breathe.
It would not have been much if he had just been choked by the throat, but the next moment, a cold, sharp object was pressed against the back of his heart. Don't look at it, Kuipa knows it's a sharp weapon!
However, Kuipa also knew that the man had no murderous intent at the moment, otherwise he would have died.
Kuipa struggled for a moment, but didn't get rid of it, and then stood there motionless.
Bah!
He spat out, and the whistle in his mouth was spat on the ground.
It was naturally Chen Mu who took control of Kuipa, he originally hid behind a tree, and when Kuipa approached, he used the blind spot of his sight to move behind Kuipa, and then suddenly made a move and immediately controlled Kuipa.
"It's you!"
Kuipa said something in his weird-sounding Chinese, and he didn't look back or see it, but it was clear from those two words that he already knew the identity of the person who controlled him. His mind flashed through the eyes that had terrified him and the owner of the eyes.
Chen Mu was silent, he wasn't sure if Kuipa really knew it was him, or if he was playing tricks, but it didn't matter, he didn't care about it.
"Why didn't you kill me?" Kuipa asked.
Because Chen Mu only choked his neck, Kuipa had some difficulty speaking. But his voice was flat, with a bit of indifference in it, as if it wasn't controlled.
"I have something to ask you." Chen Mu spoke slowly.
Seeing that Quipa was no longer struggling, he loosened a little strength in his hand to facilitate Quipa's speech.
Kuipa felt his neck feel a little more comfortable, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, but he didn't move, just asked, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"'Baru, hey Gollum!' ”
Chen Mu suddenly spit out an obscure sentence from his mouth, his voice was very awkward, but it made Kuipa hear it clearly, and his face couldn't help but change.
After saying that somewhat strange sentence, Chen Mu asked, "What does this sentence mean?" ”
"Baru, you killed you?"
Kuipa suddenly said something equally inexplicable, his question was very abrupt, but Chen Mu still reacted at once.
The obscure words he said just now were said before he met the headhunters, before the aboriginal he caught by the river, and was recorded by Chen Mu.
From Kuipa's mouth, it is easy to guess that the name of the dead aboriginal should be Baru!
Chen Mu didn't answer Kuipa's words, but just added a little force to his hands to pressure Kuipa to answer his words.
Kuipa's eyes were slightly red, his face showed a hideous color, and he said fiercely: "Do you know? Balu is my brother? You killed him, you killed him......"
Quippa suddenly roared like crazy, looking very emotional.
But he immediately felt the force coming from his neck, and all the sounds were completely suppressed, and he couldn't even breathe. In just a moment, Quipa's face turned red and then turned blue.
The fear of death made Kuipa struggle for a while, but when he found that he could not break free, he had to choose quiet.
As he calmed down, Chen Mu gradually relaxed a little.
After letting Kuipa take a few breaths, Chen Mu asked again, "What does that mean?" ”
"Ahem...... Ahem! Cuipa coughed a few times, turned his head back vigorously, and said in his mouth, "That sentence means...... 'Avenge Baru'!" ”
"Avenge Baru?" Chen Mu frowned, "Who will take revenge?" ”
"I know who to let ......" Kuipa turned back vigorously, as if he wanted to face Chen Mu to speak. Chen Mu thought about it, and his hands relaxed slightly.
With the rotation of Kuipa, half of his body deflected, and then turned his head, and finally saw Chen Mu.
Looking at Chen Mu, Kuipa was terrified for a moment. However, after taking a closer look, he found that Chen Mu's eyes were ordinary, and there was no sense of fear that made his whole body tremble at that moment, and Kuipa relaxed a little.
"That person is ......"
Kuipa looked at Chen Mu, and when he said this, a touch of fierceness suddenly flashed in his originally plain eyes.
Not good!
Chen Mu looked at Kuipa's eyes, as if he saw his heart, and saw the dangerous move that Kuipa was about to make, and a sense of crisis arose.
Suddenly, Kuipa's Adam's apple moved, and the muscles in his cheeks and mouth suddenly swelled.
"Suddenly!"
A black shadow erupted quickly from Kuipa's mouth and shot towards Chen Mu's throat.
Bite!
Chen Mu subconsciously blocked the alloy short knife against the back of Kuipa's heart in front of his throat, and after a crisp sound, a thin needle-like object was blocked and fell to the ground a few meters away.
And when Chen Mu blocked the needle, the hand he held on to Kuipa also relaxed with the movement.
Roar!
Kuipa let out a beast-like roar, and his throat suddenly swelled, forcing Chen Mu's hand to let go again.
Immediately, Kuipa pounced forward, his face was hideous, and he seemed to be desperate with Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's eyes also showed ruthlessness, and the alloy short knife in his hand stabbed directly at Kuipa, who was about to pounce.
However, at this moment, Kuipa's body that wanted to pounce on him twisted strangely, and the whole person was like a snake, turning a corner and rushing in the direction next to Chen Mu.
By the time Chen Mu turned his head, Kuipa had already rushed out a few steps away and ran wildly into the distance.
Only then did Chen Mu know that Kuipa did not plan to fight with Chen Mu, he had already calculated how to escape. And Chen Mu lost his mind for a while, and was actually killed by Kuipa.
It's just a pity that Kuipa has made a lot of calculations, but he doesn't know Chen Mu's true speed!
His movements to escape were already extremely fast, as if he had led everyone to the trap area, but Chen Mu did not pursue him at that time, and the distance between the two of them was not as close as it was now.
Chen Mu turned his body slightly, his legs slammed into force, and the whole person immediately rushed towards the direction where Kuipa fled.
Kuipa keenly felt the tremendous pressure coming from behind him, but he didn't dare to turn back, just ran forward desperately.
One fled, the other chased, although Chen Mu gradually narrowed the distance between him and Kuipa, both of them were very fast, and disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye.
After about half a minute, two people hurried from the other direction.
These two people are Sima Long and Ouyang Hu, two brothers, after they were arranged by Luo Fang to look for the Blood Orchid separately, they have been wandering in the Land of Blood Orchid, until they heard a roar just now, and they hurried over.
"Huh? Nothing? ”
Sima Long turned his head and looked around, but there was no trace.
"Nope!"
Ouyang Hu also looked around, and replied angrily.
"What was that sound just now? I haven't heard of it, I don't know what kind of beast it is? Sima Long muttered, with a look of regret, "It would be good if you caught that beast and gave it to Young Master Luo to eat." He likes to eat animal meat that he has never eaten before. ”
Ouyang Hu didn't answer this time, but stepped aside, squatted down and looked at the ground carefully, on the ground, there were several messy footprints, which could be vaguely identified.
"What are you looking at?" Sima Long walked towards Ouyang Hu with doubts.
Just after taking two steps, Sima Long suddenly felt something under his feet, raised his foot to take a look, then bent down and picked up a whistle from the ground with some interest.
The whistle was grayish-white, like it was made of some kind of bone, and it looked exquisite, like it was made of nature.
How can there be a whistle here?
The thought crossed his mind, but was quickly replaced by another thought that he found amused.
Secretly wiped some of the mud on the whistle off his body, and then Sima Long took the bone whistle that he had just stepped on and handed it to Ouyang Hu: "Huzi, there is a whistle here, give it to you." ”
"Thank you, Ryuko." Ouyang Hu stood up and took it and looked at it a few times.
Deaf? Hearing this hateful title, Sima Long raised his eyebrows, and then said to Ouyang Hu: "You blow it, blow it!" ”
That tone is quite like tricking children into eating lollipops.
Ouyang Hu glanced at him suspiciously, and Sima Long's face tightened, not allowing himself to show any emotion.
Ouyang Hu didn't find anything, and when he heard Sima Long's urging, he sent the bone whistle to his mouth, and blew a few times in succession.
Sima Long saw that the bone whistle that had just stepped under his feet was held in the mouth by the ignorant Ouyang Hu, he turned around, laughed with Ouyang Hu on his back, and secretly screamed "stupid"!
At this time, Ouyang Hu glanced at the watch very casually, and his eyes widened suddenly, because the watch gave a hint that this bone whistle could be exchanged for 60 days.
Sima Long actually gave him something that could be exchanged for 60 days, and it seemed that he had not discovered the value of the bone whistle just now.
"Idiot!" Ouyang Hu looked at Sima Long, who was facing away from him and his shoulders were constantly shrugging, and smiled secretly in his heart.
Ouyang Hu took advantage of it in vain, he was happy in his heart, and he was afraid that he would put away the bone whistle and arouse Sima Long's suspicion, so he would ask him to go back. Therefore, Ouyang Hu blew the bone whistle very vigorously, pretending to be very indifferent.
And just when he blew the bone whistle, it was when the Titan Python chased Li Yan and Wang Boxing.
As the bone whistle sounded, the Titan Python suddenly stopped, spit out the snake letter, and then changed direction following the whistle.
