Volume 1 The Sea Flows in the East Chapter 6 What a Head

"Xiao Han!

In the dim dense forest, Liu Sheng hugged a demon corpse with a fierce expression and shouted loudly to Xu Han not far away. The demon corpse also seemed to sense the impending danger, and he shook his body desperately, trying to throw Liu Sheng out of his body.

But Liu Sheng stuck to his back like a dog skin plaster, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of Liu Sheng.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the depths of the dense forest, and rushed straight towards the face of the demon corpse.

That's Xu Han.

His eyes widened, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and the dagger in his hand slashed a cold light in the dim dense forest, and the demon corpse that was still struggling just now, after the cold light flashed, the color in his dark eyes instantly became sloppy, and purple blood gushed out from his neck.

The next moment, he fell to the ground like a puppet with a lost string.

Seeing that this plan was successful, Liu Sheng quickly stood up from the demon corpse, cut off its head with the dagger in his hand with great skill, and then helped Xu Han, who was a little exhausted, to quickly rush into the depths of the dense forest.

Tick.

The rain was falling.

It was as if someone had pierced a hole, and the rain was pouring down.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng hid in a cave in the dense forest with tangled tree roots and lit a bonfire.

They had been in the forest for four whole days.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng each had four heads hanging from their waists.

It took only four days to achieve such a result, which should be a very happy thing. But at this moment, the two teenagers sitting around the bonfire were frowning and silent.

"Come, let's have a bite to eat. Xu Han took out a black thing from the fire and said to Liu Sheng.

It was the root of a wild goose tree, which tasted dry and disgusting, but it filled the stomach.

After four days in this dense forest, Xu Han and Liu Sheng discovered that the most terrifying thing in this dense forest was not those monsters like corpses, but hunger and injury.

They could hardly find any food, no fruit, no animals, only rotting demon corpses.

That thing is naturally not something that can be eaten, but fortunately, Xu Han has been a beggar for more than ten years, and finally found some edible roots, which has made them barely survive until now.

However, these roots, although they can satisfy the stomach, but when they are eaten too much, they make people a little weak, perhaps because they contain some toxins.

After Xu Han and Liu Sheng found out this, they had to control their appetite and eat as little as possible.

And what is even more deadly than these is that with the battles again and again, their bodies have long been scarred. Liu Sheng's left foot was broken, and Xu Han's shoulder was also bitten off by a demon corpse.

This made it difficult for them to fight later. They didn't know if they would be able to survive the remaining eleven days, and if they would be able to get the twenty heads that survived.

Liu Sheng simply treated some wounds on his left foot and lay down on the spot.

"Rest for a while, we need to pick up speed tomorrow. With that, he closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.

Xu Han glanced at him and sighed slightly.

He knew that their situation was not good, but again, he couldn't think of a better way.

After that, he also followed Liu Sheng's appearance, lay down on the spot, and fell asleep.

Click!

Xu Han didn't know how long he had been asleep, and in a daze, he suddenly heard a soft sound.

It should be the sound of a dry branch being broken by something.

The dangerous situation of these days made Xu Han unable to sleep too hard, he sat up suddenly, the dagger beside him was subconsciously held in his hand, his eyes looked at the twilight outside the cave vigilantly, and asked in a cold voice, "Who is it?"

Liu Sheng, who was on the side, also sat up at that time, and his dagger was also held in his hand, obviously, he also heard the slightest movement.

The two of them looked at each other, the expression on their faces was solemn, this sudden movement was not their hallucination, but they looked up but did not see anything.

The rain is still falling.

The sound of the ticking rain makes this quiet jungle even more eerie.

The two exchanged eyes, and the tacit understanding brought by the long-term relationship made them understand each other's minds for the first time.

They walked together with slow steps towards the outside of the cave with a twist of horns, keeping a delicate distance between them.

One side can rush to support the enemy and the other side can rush to support as quickly as possible, and if the enemy is attacking head-on, they can use the pull to let the belly and back the enemy, and it is precisely by relying on this method that they killed a total of seven demon corpses before and after.

"It's me. Just when the two of them were on full alert, and they might swing the dagger in their hands at any time, a childish and even somewhat frightened voice suddenly sounded.

The two of them tightened their hearts and followed the prestige, but they saw that in the corner outside the cave, there was a figure that looked extremely thin.

In the darkness, the two of them couldn't see the person's face clearly, but when they were sure that the other party was not a demon corpse, their vigilance relaxed a little, "Who are you?" But out of some considerations, Xu Han still asked.

"I'm also a child who was sent into the Gu Forest like you, it just rained heavily, I was looking for a place to shelter from the rain, I saw this cave, I just came in to take a look, but I didn't think you were already here..."

"Can I go in and take shelter? I've been in the rain for an hour. He continued to plead.

"No, you can't. Before Xu Han could speak, Liu Sheng on the side frowned and resolutely rejected his plea.

"I really just want to get out of the rain, I'm going to die if I go on like this. The man did not want to give up, but continued to speak, with a cry in his voice.

"I promise, I'll just stay on the periphery and take shelter from the rain!"

Looking at the thin figure trembling in the rainy night, Xu Han was a little unbearable after all, he glanced at Liu Sheng on the side, and finally said, "Then you come in." ”

Such an approval was obviously beyond Liu Sheng's expectations, and he stared at Xu Han dissatisfiedly, but after all, he couldn't bear to speak harshly.

When the voice heard this, his heart was immediately happy, and he walked to the cave where the two of them were without thinking.

At this time, by the light of the fire, the two finally saw his appearance clearly.

It was a boy, who looked a year or two younger than Xu Han and the others, extremely thin, his clothes were badly broken, and he had some injuries, but he was carrying a package on his back, and he didn't know what it was containing.

When Liu Sheng saw his appearance clearly, his brows furrowed again, but he didn't say anything, just pulled Xu Han back to the cave.

And the boy was very intrigued, and just sat at the mouth of the cave, and did not enter into it, as he said.

The three of them were silent around the bonfire for a while, the boy seemed to be gradually adapting to the environment, his gaze swept over for a while, and fell on the heads of several demon corpses on the waists of Xu Han and Liu Sheng.

"Is this the demon corpse you killed, so many?" he exclaimed, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm. Xu Han nodded, and was about to ask something.

"Didn't you?" Liu Sheng interrupted the conversation between the two, and he asked in a cold voice, but his eyes wandered on the wounds on the boy's body, and finally landed on the bulging package behind him.

"Ah Sheng!" Xu Han called out with some dissatisfaction, he felt that Liu Sheng's move was somewhat too suspicious, after all, looking at this child's appearance, it could not pose any threat to them.

Liu Sheng was stunned. The look on his face was still a little angry, but in the end he relented, but his eyes kept falling on the child.

He had an intuition that this boy was not simple, if he was really as harmless as he appeared at the moment, then in this Gu Forest, he would probably not survive for so long, not to mention that he was injured at the moment, and it was obvious that he had fought with people before.

As if he also felt Liu Sheng's gaze, the boy pointed to the package on his back, as if he remembered something, and said, "You say this, this is the fruit I picked in the forest, do you want to eat it?"

With that, he took off the package from his back and was about to open it.

Xu Han and Liu Sheng's eyes fell on the package at that time, and the boy felt their gaze, and he lowered his face and slowly sketched a smile.

His hand rested on the package, and the sackcloth wrapped around it was opened by him layer by layer.

"This fruit is rare, I wasted a lot of effort to get it, you can also taste it, it can be regarded as my shelter from the rain..."

He had words in his mouth, but just as he opened the last layer of sackcloth.

His voice suddenly became cold.

"Thank you!"

As soon as he said that, his hand jerked, and the package was pushed forward by him, slamming into the campfire.

The ashes and flames rose violently, and the two people who were caught off guard felt a chill, and secretly said that it was not good, and they retreated one after another.

But in the midst of the dust and fire, a cold light lit up.

It was the dagger in the child's hand, and he chased after Xu Han's face like a serpent's letter, stabbing straight at it.

How could Xu Han react, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and a muffled snort came out of his mouth, and the left side of his chest was slammed into it by the dagger.

Blood.

Xu Han, who was in pain, covered his wounds and fell to the ground.

At this time, the fire and dust fell, and Liu Sheng, who was on the side, finally saw the situation in front of him clearly.

He looked at Xu Han's fallen body, and felt the pain like his brain exploding, and then, blood crawled into his eyes, he roared angrily, and pounced on the child.

But after all, he still has an injury in his left foot, and his speed is a little slower after all. And the kid also showed an unusual reflex at that time, he bowed slightly, avoiding Liu Sheng's powerful blow. Then his eyes froze, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at Xu Han's face like a poisonous snake again.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers.

The boy was clearly familiar with this.

At this time, Xu Han finally woke up from the previous mutation, he didn't dare to hold it up in the slightest when he saw the dagger stabbing him, so he rolled on the ground at that time, narrowly avoiding the boy's stab.

The boy missed the blow, and naturally refused to give up, and a look of annoyance appeared on his immature face, and he was about to pursue again. But how could Liu Sheng let him get his wish?

He hurriedly swung his dagger again and stabbed the boy straight in the back.

But who knew that the boy turned around abruptly at that time, and the dagger in his hand stabbed back at Liu Sheng at an extremely tricky angle.

Obviously, everything before was a feint, and his real purpose was Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng, who was unexpected, was horrified, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly withdrew the dagger he stabbed out and blocked it in front of him, trying to resist the boy's blow.

Bang!

The daggers of the two collided together with a crisp sound, which was particularly piercing on this quiet rainy night.

This party just met in a short battle, Liu Sheng's face became extremely ugly, this boy looked thin, but his strength was amazing.

Liu Sheng only felt that his arm was numb, and his body involuntarily took a few steps backwards.

The wound on his left foot was painful enough to keep him straight, and he fell to the ground with a stumble.

Seeing this, Xu Han was about to get up to rescue, his hand groped on the ground for a while, wanting to pick up the dagger that had just fallen off in battle, but he touched a round thing.

His heart tightened, and he turned his head to look, only to see that it was wrapped in the boy's bag.

It was a head.

A human head.
