Chapter Seventy-Three. Case 12: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
Sure enough, as Hu Zongren expected, from the first floor to the third floor, Hu Zongren and I heard the roar of the canine almost all the time, although each time it seemed to be a little closer, we did not suffer any physical attacks. Because of the progress of the project, every floor is almost the same, empty, I can see the sky when I look up, there is no protective net at the edge of the stairs, if there is a fight here, I have to be careful not to be pushed down the stairs by the strange force, although it is not very high, but it hurts to fall.
The first and second floors seem to be in a hurry, probably because most of the relationship has been completed, and the third floor has been messily stacked with a lot of things, there are hard hats and safety ropes left by workers at the scene, and there are hammers and shovels on the ground, Hu Zongren said to me, this is it. Wait a minute, I'll go get something, don't take anything, just follow me, just hold the rope, if I'm attacked, I think you can detect it right away, anyway, don't let my old beard fall to my death. I nodded in agreement, thinking that since Hu Zongren thought of this step, then this may be the only way for us to force this animal spirit out of its original form without relying on the way of conjuring, and in fact, we are not completely sure of the way of summoning, it is okay to summon people, dog, I really dare not guarantee it.
Hu Zongren asked me if I was ready, and I said yes. So he picked up a hammer on the ground, and when he picked it up, the roar sounded in his ears again, and Hu Zongren picked up a hard hat on the ground, and the roar began to become a long and angry one. So Hu Zongren began to walk in the direction of going downstairs, and I followed closely behind him with a red rope in my hand. There was nothing strange in the process of going from the third floor to the first floor, but when he just walked to the staircase on the first floor, Hu Zongren suddenly screamed "sigh", and then stood still. I hit Hu Zongren's back at once due to the untimely braking, and I was about to ask him why he suddenly stopped, but I crossed Hu Zongren's figure and saw a black mist lingering in front of him about the waist position.
How to say it, that shape, a bit like the lynx we met in the Wenfeng Tower of Tazi Mountain before, is also a black thing all over the body, and I have seen a little different from what I have seen in the past, but I can't say where it is, I only saw a large black mass, from the shape, I can't tell that it is a dog at all, until the roar sounded clearly in my ears again, plus the echo in the corridor that was originally caused by the narrowness, the black shadow suddenly changed its posture, and now I saw it clearly, A head slowly turned from the farther side, with ears and a nose, but no grinning teeth to be seen, and two green eyes, the color was very similar to the color of the outer flame when the alcohol lamp was burning, light green, but from the shape of the eyes, it was a bit like an almond, arranged in an inverted figure-of-eight, without eyes, but judging from these appearances alone, it was very fierce. It was bigger than I expected, and I mean if I were to take a golden retriever as a reference, its ears were erect, and I had a very good education as a child, so I know that whether it is a cat or a rabbit, when their ears are pricked up, it means that they are very alert at the moment. And judging by the shape of this black shadow and the outline of its head, I couldn't even tell what breed of dog it was.
I hurriedly reached out to pull Hu Zongren, trying to pull him to the top of the ladder, but he was too close, close enough to be killed in a minute. But when I reached out, suddenly there was a wow, and the black shadow directly bit my right hand that had just held Hu Zongren's shoulder. In the pain, I knew that if I tried to retract my hand at this moment, it would definitely pull my hand in the opposite direction, so that my wound would get bigger and bigger, and in desperation, I threw away the red rope in my left hand, and then reached into my bag and quickly grabbed a handful of grave dirt and threw it into the dog's eyes. When I heard a whining and painful wail, my hand came out of its mouth. I quickly took a look at the wound, and it was okay, only there were bite marks, and the skin had not broken yet, but the part under the skin that had been bitten had quickly bruised. And the guy pounced directly on Hu Zongren after letting go, Hu Zongren was pushed to the chest by its two front paws, and suddenly fell on the stairs without being able to stand firmly, with a muffled "bang", the back of his head hit the edge of the stairs hard. Then the dog's front paws gripped at Hu Zongren's arm, whining and looking as if it was about to bite Hu Zongren's neck. I thought to myself that if I bit it, Hu Zongren would have to go to the hospital, so I didn't think much about it, so I quickly picked up the red rope on the ground, pinched a section with both hands, and calculated the length of the surrounding to tie the dog's head, and then I also jumped and pounced on the big black dog that was biting Hu Zongren.
I think I must have been very handsome in my posture at that time, but unfortunately the audience was only Hu Zongren, maybe he hadn't seen it yet. I used to play football when I was still in school, and I used to be a goalkeeper for a while, so I'm still familiar with this pounce. Just as I was about to wrap the red rope around the black dog's neck and tie it down, it suddenly seemed to realize something, and began to struggle desperately, and both hind legs began to kick my stomach hard. Whether it is a human or an animal, in my opinion, it is a part of the soul and ** composed of each other, the potential of the soul is huge, but the ability of ** is limited, which is why ghosts can usually cause much more fright and damage than living people. The big black dog in front of him may have been just an ordinary vicious dog when he was alive, but he has become much more powerful after death. So when my stomach was kicked several times in a row, my heart was also a little angry, and I was a little calmer than Hu Zongren, but that was on the premise that I wasn't angry. At this time I was already a little angry, I thought to myself, a big man, can't I deal with a dog, so I began to be ruthless, and the rope around the dog's neck began to pull towards both ends to tighten, if it was a live dog, it might suffocate to death because of my action at this moment, but this is a dead ghost, I don't seem to be of much use in doing this, but it can make it hurt, I know it.
Just when I thought I was about to subdue it, it suddenly quieted a little, and then suddenly put its two hind legs on the ground in order to borrow strength, and then the two front paws and the dog's head pounced towards my face, I was already lying on the ground, there was no way to dodge, plus the two hands also grabbed the red rope, and I couldn't spare extra hands to block, just when the dog's head was getting closer and closer to my face, as if my whole face would be eaten by it in the next second, suddenly there was a fog in front of my eyes, and my nose also smelled a smell of dust, The huge black dog just disappeared before my eyes. The red rope in my hands was stretched in a straight line by the force of the force, and the black dog disappeared as the worker described it earlier, as if the smoke had cleared, and disappeared without a trace.
The black shadow in front of me disappeared, and I also saw Hu Zongren, who was originally blocked by the black shadow, he was standing on the steps with one foot, stepping on my side with one foot, covering his neck with one hand, but the other hand was dirty, constantly panting. I knew that the feeling of fog in front of me just now was because Hu Zongren sprinkled a handful of incense ashes in the direction of the big black dog, forcing it to stop struggling, but choose to disappear and flee.
I listened carefully, and there was silence all around, only the sound of me and Hu Zongren panting, and there was no more the low roar of the big black dog before. Hu Zongren asked me, how are you? I was shocked and said, nothing wrong, no skin trauma. After speaking, I reached out and picked up my clothes, the left side of my stomach near the ribs had been kicked by the hind legs of the big black dog in the fight just now, and there were several scars, fortunately, the wound was not deep, but it was scratched through the epidermis, and the edge of the scar was slightly swollen. People are like this, when you don't know anything, you may not notice how much it hurts, and when you see your wounds, even if they are not deep, you will feel that the pain is dying.
Hu Zongren took away the hand covering his neck and looked at the palm, and I saw that the right side of his neck also had a scar similar to that on my stomach, but it was indeed only a small injury. I asked Hu Zongren, are you okay? Hu Zongren said with a smile, it's nothing wrong, it's just that it was really scary just now, I hit my head when I fell, I couldn't hold back, and let out a fart. I actually admire Hu Zongren, a person with little roots in his brain, and he can still joke in this situation. He stretched out his hand to me, I stood up with my strength, Hu Zongren patted the dust on his clothes, the dust in the corridor of the construction site was much bigger than anywhere else, if the two of us were wearing hard hats now, we would definitely not be able to find it in the pile of workers. Hu Zongren said to me with a smile, this dead dog is quite powerful, let's withdraw first, it's one thing to catch it this time, I guess since I haven't caught it, I won't be able to catch it for a while. I nodded, there was no other way, so while patting the dust on my body, I walked out of the corridor with Hu Zongren.
As soon as we walked around the corner of the building, we found a group of workers standing in the distance looking at us. It's really embarrassing, I was supposed to clean up the ghosts, but I was cleaned up, and it's also the ghosts of animals. Walking up to the pile of workers, pretending not to hear everyone's whispers, the two of us walked straight in the direction of the faucet to wash our wounds and think about what to do. When Hu Zongren was flushing, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and then asked me, do you remember what Mr. Zhang said to us when we first came?
I wondered and asked him, what did you say? Hu Zongren ignored me, but shook the water in his hands, turned to the onlookers and shouted:
"Workers! Come on here, let me ask you a question! ”
