Chapter 10: The Wooden Man
It is said that the "Moth Man", a strange and magical mysterious creature, can predict death, and has the breath of death on its body, that is, it has a strong cold atmosphere, likes cold and damp places, and survives by absorbing yin energy, so it often wanders near the tomb where the resentment and yin energy are prosperous.
However, the transparent butterfly wings on Zha Ling'er's back began to gradually shrink after entering the territory of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and seemed to have signs of disappearing. There was nothing unusual about the rest of the team, but I found that the little rabbit that happened to be conjured up before became extremely lively after stepping into the primeval forest of the Great Khing'an Mountains, as if it had returned to its hometown, and its mind became extremely flexible and restless, I wonder if these situations happened by accident or related to something specific here?
Thinking about this and that, worrying about these teammates around me, and worrying about my family members who are far away, the bad feeling that occasionally emerged from this journey resurfaced, and a moment of panic suddenly surged in my heart, so I immediately noticed that something was wrong, so I hurriedly stood up, and my eyes shot into the distance like electricity.
At the same time, the smoke man sat up from the ground and exchanged a glance with me, and we immediately woke the others up, and then quietly walked deeper into the dark woods where the anomaly had been discovered.
I held the vajra peg and looked straight ahead with all my attention, and I didn't know if anyone else had followed except for the cigarette man. In the depths of the dark woods, the sound of tapping, like the sound of tap dancers dancing, is just a wonderful sound that is usually worth admiring, and in this silent and dark night, there is a little more mysterious and eerie color.
I didn't go far in the dense and dim woods with the smoke man. I noticed a group of people faintly in front of me, and their bodies were shaking. It was like getting drunk. The crowd walked forward, more like a ballroom dance. I couldn't help but wonder what these people who suddenly appeared in the woods were doing.
When the strange crowd in front of me walked to the place where the trees were sparse and the moonlight was shining, I saw a terrifying picture that made my scalp tingle. I saw a group of people suddenly appear in the woods, not real people, but a group of wooden people, all more than a meter tall, about the size of a real person. Generally tall, short, fat and thin wooden people. Only the expressions on the faces carved from wood were different, some with cracked mouths and squinting arrogantly and arrogantly, some with frowns as if they had died of their own father, and some of them complained as if the world owed them, and all the expressions were so hideous and exaggerated that people would have nightmares at night when they looked at them.
The wooden crowd that suddenly appeared in the dark woods, in the dim moonlight, like messengers of hell. Once they are caught, they will be instantly dragged into the bottomless abyss.
I waved my hand for the Smoker to step back, and with my toes I knew that these wooden men were coming for us, the work of the master of the Woodpecker Trap that had been used to probe us earlier.
I and the man quietly stepped backwards. But the wooden man, who didn't feel it, suddenly noticed us, and the body that was shaking as if it was about to fall. With a whoosh, they all jumped upward. After jumping three times and two times, he jumped close to the tree where we were hiding. With a wave of his arms, wooden fingers plunged into the tree. A wooden man who rushed to me from the other side, his jaw slid downward, and he spat out a sharp arrow from his mouth, which shimmered green in the moonlight, and he knew that it was poisonous. King Kong waved, the sharp arrow fell to the ground, I glanced at the smoke man, his situation was not much better, these wooden people seemed to be invulnerable, the iron rod in the smoke man's hand could not help them, we only retreated and defeated.
At this time, the other teammates rushed over, but after seeing such a terrifying scene, they were a little hesitant and didn't know how to face it. Dozens of wooden people jumped out of the dark woods, smiling fiercely, making people lose their combat effectiveness at a glance.
The wooden man surrounded his teammates in the middle, I didn't see Zha Ling'er and Zha Qiye, it is estimated that they either didn't wake up, or they didn't rush over when they saw that the situation was not good. It's better if you don't come, or everyone will be trapped. The wooden man is not easy to deal with, and his body is as stiff as a stone, and this is the first time I have seen something that cannot be broken by the iron rod of a smoking man. The magical black ribbon of the hairy-faced black shadow man before, King Kong chopped constantly, but when the smoke man's iron rod approached, it was not easy to use. It can be seen that these weird wooden people are even harder.
The besieged people were poor in donkey skills, and they could only keep dodging the hard arms of the wooden man, and I remembered that there was a wooden man who could spit poisoned arrows in his mouth, so I immediately reminded everyone to be careful. However, there seems to be only one wooden man who can spit poisoned arrows from his mouth, and he is not very threatening.
Beads of sweat continued to slide down my forehead, and my left knee was kicked by the wooden man just now, and it felt like it was broken. The left knee was seriously injured many times when it was upside down, leaving an old disease, running for a long time or doing strenuous exercise, it will gradually become slow and do not obey the call, which was successfully attacked by the wooden man, and now the pain is terrible, but can only grit his teeth and stiffen.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar from a distance, "climb down", and then the cigarette man pulled me to the ground, and then I heard a bang, and the wooden man next to me was blown away. It turned out that the seventh master was in the distance, using a bow and crossbow and a blasting charm, and wanted to relieve us from the siege.
Shaking off the dirt on his head, he was shocked to find that the wooden man who had been blown away had only a broken arm, and then he got up again as if nothing had happened, and jumped towards me. The cigarette man jumped up from the ground, shouted "joint", and stood in front of me.
Everyone immediately understood that the wooden people's bodies were extremely hard and unbreakable, but the joints on their bodies were relatively weak, and as long as the limbs that could move were removed, the wooden people did not pose any threat.
The explosion of the seventh master made the smoke man discover the key weakness of the wooden man, but it is still unknown whether everyone will be able to escape the crisis, after all, the wooden man mechanism is flexible, it is not a dead thing, and it takes a lot of time to break them one by one.
The iron rod in the smoke man's hand flew up and down, and a piece of wood was knocked out, and dozens of wooden people fell a large piece at once. But the wooden man soon changed his attack, forming a circle around the crowd and starting to spin rapidly. (To be continued......)
