Chapter 56: Strange Shadows
After the "shampoo" incident, Zhang Qiao became even more determined, and refused to take a bath.
only agreed to take a hasty flush under the shower, and Ning Xie didn't have time to care about him, his thick hair was thinned out.
After worshipping the mountain god, I finally entered the rolling Tianbai Mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a wooden hut where hunters rest.
There are beds and firewood inside.
"Ma Ye, you will come here to meet us with supplies. Further up, it's too unsafe.
We keep in touch with the communicator at all times, in case of emergency, if we accidentally lose contact.
You hurry up and go to the National Guard in Linbei City and tell them that there are bounty hunters from the Rakshasa Kingdom who have illegally entered the country and stolen precious resources. ”
Ma Ye carried a large bag and a small bag, looked at Ning Xie and nodded vigorously.
"Ning Xie, be careful yourself. ”
Looking at his serious expression, Zhang Qiao felt that this roe deer demon was not so stupid?
Only Zhang Qiao and Ning Xie were left, heading into the depths of the mountain.
Both of them are awakened, although their strength is different, but their physical fitness is far stronger than ordinary people.
In less than a day, I walked to the place where I had found ginseng last time.
Ning Xie stood in the open place at the top of the mountain, pointed to the shady side below, and said.
"Here's where I found ginseng, and I don't think the ginseng doll will run very far. Let's use this as a starting point and scatter our search. ”
Looking at the rolling sea of clouds, the Tianbai Mountain where the world is leisurely.
Zhang Qiao remembered an ancient poem:
Tianbai Xionglin in the north, Saga, and Saizhou.
Approaching the dawn of the sea, standing alone in the great wilderness autumn.
On this day, the white mountain really deserves its name, it is really called the majestic mountain to support the world, the forest and the sea hide treasures, no wonder countless people are fascinated.
Night was approaching, and Zhang Qiao and Ning Xie came to the location where they had camped last time.
After all, a suitable camp is not so easy to find, both close to the water source and to prevent sudden flash floods. There is only one location nearby, which is suitable for camping.
There were still traces of previous fires on the ground, and Ning Xie neatly set up his tent and lit a campfire.
It seems that after two trips into the mountain, his abilities in all aspects have improved greatly.
Sitting around the fire, both of them took out dry food, and it was dinner for the day.
"I said Ning Xie, in this deep mountain and old forest, it is difficult to even make out the direction, how did you find the ginseng doll last time?" Zhang Qiao asked curiously.
Ning Xie pondered for a moment, as if he had made up some kind of determination.
"Brother Qiao, it is very likely that we will have to look separately to speed up the efficiency.
I don't hide it anymore, maybe it used to be a big secret, but now for me, finding ginseng to save my father is the most important thing.
Wherever ginseng passes, you can smell a strange fragrance.
You're of snake demon blood, so you should have a strong sense of smell, right?"
Zhang Qiao nodded, agreeing with Ning Xie's words.
"After you smell the strange fragrance, it is likely that there is ginseng in the mountains near this on the surface.
As long as you reverently and silently recite the secret of my Ning family's secret - "Seeking the Mantra".
You can have a strange sense in your heart, and you can feel the position of the ginseng doll in the dark. ”
When my dad became vegetative, it was a spell I found in my family tree. I'll just say it once, and you remember it carefully.
Ning Xie sat cross-legged on the ground with a pious expression, and began to chant words in his mouth.
"Qionglun is glorious, and it is all profitable. The scenery is clear, and the gods are open.
There is a high honor, a crown of feathers. May the aura descend and go to my return. ”
Zhang Qiao originally wanted to interrupt Ning Xie chanting the mantra, after all, this was the secret of the Ning family, and it was really inappropriate for him to learn it casually like this.
But seeing Ning Xie's serious expression, he knew that he had already made up his mind.
Zhang Qiao couldn't bear to bother, so he could only remember this "Seeking Spell". I secretly made up my mind that I must help Ning Xie find the ginseng doll.
"Remember? When you recite the mantra, your mind should be like water, and you should visualize the direction of the ginseng's existence.
If the spell is successful, you'll be able to see visions, including the location of the doll. ”
Zhang Qiao didn't know how to respond to this trust, so he could only recite this "Seeking Reference Mantra" silently, striving to be more proficient.
Ning Xie saw that Zhang Qiao had just learned and was practicing diligently, and he also felt very relieved.
After all, this is the Ning family's stunt, and I told Zhang Qiao that it was also to better find ginseng.
He also didn't want this stunt pearl to be dusted and fall into the hands of people with bad intentions.
Ning Xie looked at Zhang Qiao's serious appearance, and he also looked at the campfire, remembering what was on his mind.
There were a few "pops", and sparks burst out from the top of the flames.
The red flames flickered in the air, making everything around them jump and shake.
The shadows of the trees seemed to be frightened by the fire, and fled into the depths of the forest. All kinds of black shadows were distorted into extremely strange shapes under the reflection of the firelight.
Zhang Qiao's heart sank, and he felt a malicious gaze.
It seems to be a precursor to someone who has bad intentions and is about to attack him.
Zhang Qiao pretended to doze off, his body was unstable, he fell to the side, and leaned in front of Ning Xie.
"What's the matter, Brother Qiao, are you going to sleep?" Ning Xie felt inexplicable.
"Don't make a sound!" Zhang Qiao reminded in a low voice.
"It's not right, someone is spying on us.
If it's a bounty hunter from the Rakshasa Kingdom, you wait for my prompt, and run away directly to contact the guards with Ma Ye. ”
Ning Xie didn't know where the danger was coming from, but he chose to trust Zhang Qiao's intuition.
"Then Brother Qiao, what should you do, I can't agree, it's too dangerous. Ning Xie looked worried.
"You don't have to worry about me, your strength is too poor, and it will only drag me down here. And I kept my hands back, and there was absolutely no problem in saving my life. ”
The dark shadows around him seemed to have received some kind of order, and became more and more hideous.
The shadows of the trees and tents slowly stretched on the ground, and they seemed to become several humanoid monsters with long hands and legs.
The monsters were meandering, like Zhang Qiao and Ning Xie walking around, the illumination of the firelight had no effect at all, and they were about to climb up Ning Xie's body.
"Let's go!" Zhang Qiao shouted violently and punched the black shadow hard.
I saw that the dirt and dead leaves were splashing everywhere, and the black shadow monster only bent and bent slightly, and did not receive any damage.
It turned into countless black silk threads, and immediately wrapped around Zhang Qiao's fist.
"If you want to go, where can you go? If you don't find ginseng today, don't even think about leaving!" a yin and yang voice sounded.
In the depths of the dark jungle, two figures approached him.
One is a Chinese face, born with a kind face, always grinning.
The words that came out of his mouth were not good at all. It's incredibly disgusting.
The other has a full beard and a stout build. It seems to be a Rakshasa countryman.
It's just that he doesn't say a word, and his eyes are cold, and he looks at everyone as if he is looking at a dead person.
"An Zifu, what do you want?
You're really ill-intentioned to follow me here. It's not in vain that I still trust you so much. ”
Ning Xie said angrily and scolded An Zifu.
"Hehe, how much is your trust worth? Today I brought the bronze bounty hunter, Lord Anthony.
If you know each other, you will obediently obey, I will ask for money but not life, and if I find ginseng, I will definitely let you go.
If you don't cooperate......"
An Zifu's expression was terrifying and hideous, and he said a few Rakshasa words to Anthony next to him.
Anthony tilted his head slightly, and saw the black shadow that was still wandering on the ground just now, all of them standing up.
The humanoid shadow monsters, their bodies constantly twisted and deformed, turning into sharp shadow knives, pointing at Zhang Qiao and Ning Xie deadly.
System Qualification:
An Zifu, an African hyena bloodline, a D-class peak monster in the foundation building period.
Race Stunt: Kiss of Decay.
With strong upper and lower jaws and sharper teeth, the African hyena is able to easily crush the hard skulls of its prey. He has the title of "Bone Crusher".
Moreover, hyenas have a well-developed sense of smell and are especially fond of carrion. The mouth contains a lot of bacteria that can cause serious infections.
The Kiss of Decay is capable of biting the body of an enemy and inflicting long-term corruption and destruction on their flesh.
Anthony, Siberian tiger bloodline, C-level monster in the refining period.
Race Stunt: Fight for the Tiger.
Legend has it that the tiger devours people to death, and the soul of the deceased cannot escape, so he can only serve the tiger with all his heart, and his name is the ghost.
Ghosts can guide the way for tigers, and when the road is in danger, there are ghosts who destroy it.
After encountering a tiger, people stand still, and their clothes and belts are self-untied. Let the tiger devour it, it is the ghost who does it.
Activate the skill of Tiger Fighting, and the person you kill can turn into a ghost to increase the power of the skill. Ghosts have various functions such as pathfinding and trapping people.
Zhang Qiao gestured slightly towards Ning Xie, suggesting that he should not act rashly.
Now is not the chance to escape, first make a false deal with them, and then find another opportunity to escape.
The Anthony in front of him is a monster in the refining period who has spent 100 days building the foundation, and his strength has reached the C level.
Zhang Qiao is not his opponent at all, especially since he also has the racial stunt of playing for the tiger, these dead people turned into ghosts.
Watching Zhang Qiao's movements all the time, ready to trap them at any time, rashly escaping is not the wisest choice.
Zhang Qiao pinched his earlobe and said sincerely.
"I'll tell you the truth, we do know how to find ginseng that has become sperm.
But after we help you find the ginseng, who knows if you really want to let us go?
Why don't you give us something as precious as this?
For example, pills and the like are pressed on my hands.
If you can spare us, I promise to do my best to help you find ginseng, and I'll give it back to you afterwards.
But if you don't be trustworthy, I will directly take the pill in my hand, and let you end up with no personal wealth!"
Zhang pretended not to know the crisis he was facing, and was still calculating, thinking about bargaining.
An Zifu turned his head and began to speak Rakshasa Mandarin to Anthony again.
Unexpectedly, Anthony, who had an indifferent face, looked at Zhang Qiao in front of him like a mustard, and said a few unintelligible Rakshasa words.
Without the slightest hesitation, he threw out a wooden box and threw it in front of Zhang Qiao.
An Zifu said proudly: "If you are lucky, Lord Anthony agreed.
Inside is the precious Rakshasa Pill, which is equivalent to the level of Huaguo Intermediate Pill.
Giving you such a treasure will prove our sincerity. ”
Zhang Qiao happily picked up the wooden box and put it in his arms as a treasure.
It's just that there was a hint of anger hidden in his smile.
An Zifu thought that if he talked to Anthony about Rakshasa words, Zhang Qiao and they couldn't understand it, so they were unscrupulous.
What he didn't expect was that Zhang Qiaonai was the top student of Tianjing Middle School.
Every day a middle school student must learn two or more foreign languages.
In addition to the compulsory Plantagenet language, Zhang Qiao's second foreign language is Rakshasa language!
