Chapter Twenty-Four: Sneak Attacked
If it were Cui Kai and Xiao Ling, or someone else, who were in this room now, they would definitely hit the head of the corpse on the ground with an iron spear at the first moment.
Because as long as anyone with a little basic common sense knows, when the dark chasers are extremely short of food, in order to ensure that they can continue to live, they will instinctively enter a dormant state similar to animal hibernation, in order to reduce consumption, at this time, from the outside, these dark chasers are no different from the dead, but as long as the slightest change will make them wake up from their dormancy.
And when they wake up, which is usually their most dangerous, they will go berserk at all creatures that come their way in their field of vision.
It's a pity that Xia Jian is not Cui Kai, let alone Xiao Ling, and no one has ever told him this common sense.
…………………………
Toilet, bathroom, master bedroom......
Xia Jian cautiously inspected every corner of the room, and the whole thing was worried, lest an invisible corner would rush out of a dark chaser and give him a look.
There is no way, who let the female dark chaser sneak attack and hunt the pet pig before, it left a deep impression on him.
After searching for a while, he finally found a pool of blood on the ground by the window of the bed.
The heart thumped to his throat......
Keep your eyes on that direction, slowly moving your feet to that side, and be ready to attack at any time.
There was a large pool of blood on the ground, and the sheets hanging from the edge of the bed were even soaked with blood, of course, the blood had long since dried up.
Take a step forward......
Xia Jian saw a palm, a fleshy palm sticking out from under the bed.
Changing the iron crossbow to his right hand, so that he could grasp more steadily and aim more accurately, Xia Jian's whole person was walking on thin ice, carefully adjusting his perspective......
It seems that this dark chaser has not found himself yet!
Next, as soon as he sees the head of this dark chaser, he will shoot crossbow arrows without hesitation.
However......
Xia Jian, who was engrossed in it and was attracted to all his minds, did not notice that when he was moving on thin ice, the sole of his shoe inadvertently touched the corpse lying on the ground.
It was this slight blow that caused the corpse's arm hanging by his side to fall to the ground, and the direction that he couldn't see was tilted to the side of the corpse's head, and the originally closed eyelids suddenly trembled slightly.
In the next second, the bloodshot eyes opened violently, and the blood-red and evil vertical pupils, like a poisonous snake that had found its prey, stared at Xia Jian's back.
…………………………
Meanwhile......
Xia Jian, who thought that the dark chaser was hiding under the bed, finally found a suitable shooting angle, squatted down, and the moment he saw the head of the dark chaser, he took decisive aim and shot a crossbow arrow......
"Poof......
Sharp crossbow arrows pierced the head in an instant.
However, before Xia Jian could breathe a sigh of relief, he was finally able to see the whole picture of this 'dark chaser', and he was suddenly dumbfounded.
All that was left was a thin layer of fleshy white bones, a skull that had been opened, and the torn waiter's costume......
The waiter who he regarded as a dark chaser turned out to be a clean skeleton that had been gnawed and gnawed.
Xia Jian was completely confused......
The mutated Shadow Chaser wasn't even a waiter, could it be that he came in from the outside?
But he was sure that he had searched the room inside and out, and where was the dark chaser in this house?
Isn't it in this house anymore?
Of course, it was possible, but he always felt that something was wrong.
That's right......
Xia Jian's pupils dilated suddenly, and he finally knew that something was wrong: the waiter's body had been eaten and only a skeleton remained, but the passenger's body was well preserved. …,
If it was really a dark chaser coming in from outside, this could not have happened.
There's only one possibility......
Xia Jian shivered violently, his back was cold, and he suddenly had a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
"Bad ......"
Xia Jian was shocked, and in a panic, he hurriedly turned around.
"......"
At this moment, the dark chaser behind Xia Jian roared sharply and suddenly launched an attack......
The distance between the two is shortened in an instant.
Looking at the hideous and terrifying face of the dark chaser that was rapidly dilating in the pupils, and looking at the sharp claws that were rapidly waving towards him, at this moment, Xia Jian thought of countless thoughts in his mind in an instant......
Escape?! It's too late......
Iron crossbow?! It's been shot out just now, and I haven't had time to wind it yet......
Iron Spear?! Just now, for the convenience of shooting, he had changed the iron spear to his left hand, but he was not left-handed.
At the last moment, Xia Jian suddenly saw the pillow placed at the head of the bed......
"No matter, gamble ......"
Gritting his teeth, Xia Jian scooped up the pillow and used the pillow as a shield in front of his body.
The attack of the dark chaser suddenly fell on the pillow, and the huge force instantly transmitted to Xia Jian's chest through the pillow, and Xia Jian's whole person suddenly flew upside down, slammed into the wall, and bounced back and fell on the bed.
"Hiss......"
The dark chaser grabbed the paw of the pillow and divided it to both sides, and the room suddenly fell with goose feather snow, and this pillow turned out to be a down pillow.
"Whew...... Whew......"
The vision was suddenly blocked, and the Dark Chaser suddenly let out a crazy roar.
"Opportunity ......"
In a desperate situation, Xia Jian couldn't care about the bones in his body moaning in pain, holding his breath, taking advantage of the moment his body was bounced up from the bed, his feet kicked down violently, and rushed to the door with all his strength.
The Dark Chaser finally found Xia Jian and realized that its prey was about to run, so it roared and rushed out after Xia Jian.
One after the other, the distance between the two was less than three meters, and in less than a second, this distance was constantly getting closer - the speed of the dark chaser was too fast, and Rao is Xia Jian's small universe was fully open, and there was an irreparable gap with it.
If it was under normal circumstances, no matter how Xia Jian escaped, as long as it was less than three seconds, the Shadow Chaser would definitely catch up with him.
Feeling the violent atmosphere behind him, at the critical moment, at the moment of rushing out of the room, perhaps it was a blessing to the soul, Xia Jian's ghost made the gods use the usual tricks used to sneak and slip away in the past.
As soon as he took the edge of the door, he closed the door with his hand......
"Bang ......"
The Shadow Chaser who followed him was caught off guard and slammed into the door.
The huge impact suddenly made the door tremble suddenly, and it was shaky, and it had a tendency to be knocked away.
"......"
Xia Jian hurriedly inserted the iron spear into the upper handle of the door to fix it.
