Chapter Twenty-Eight: Disasters Are Always Inevitable
After receiving the signal, everyone began to get busy.
Jin Quanyi carried a bamboo basket full of stones, as well as an iron hammer, and a woodcutter in Tie Zishan's hand, and the two shuttled through the woods, constantly changing positions, sometimes making eye contact, and the rest of the people followed behind or by their sides, gradually distancing themselves from them.
Just as the two of them were walking forward for about a stick of incense, Jin Quanyi suddenly slowed down, hiding behind a big tree with his waist bent, and Tie Zishan followed behind him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jin Quanyi signaled not to make a sound, his eyes stared at the front tightly, the night was long, as if there was no end, about a quarter of an hour later, Jin Quanyi moved his numb legs a little, and explained what he had just done, "I seemed to hear the voice of a jackal just now, and it was there." β
Jin Quanyi casually pointed in a direction, "It should be the activity area of jackals, I have seen them during the day, there are about four or five." β
Tie Zishan fell into deep thought, unsure, "Could it be Uncle Meng's ghost?"
Jin Quanyi turned his head and stared at Tie Zishan's eyes, "You mean, Uncle Meng knows that we are coming." β
Tie Zishan chuckled, "He must have known that we were going to come to him for revenge, you listen..."
Before the words could be spoken, the earth began to tremble, and a rumbling sound came from behind the two of them.
The Iron Gyroscope swarm was not thrown too far by them.
Jin Quanyi said worriedly, "If the group of jackals in front of you is really Uncle Meng's deliberate, then it will be dangerous for Cunyuan and to think twice." β
Tie Zishan was a little unimpressed, and said as she ran forward, "It's okay, as long as we lure Uncle Meng out in advance." β
Jin Quanyi began to be vigilant and reminded, "If Uncle Meng already knows about our plan, do you think he will ambush us here?"
This is a situation that Tie Zishan has not considered, it is impossible for Meng Cheng's cultivation not to feel the surrounding vision, if he stands still, it will be fine, what he is most afraid of is that he is waiting for them in a certain place early and breaking them one by one, but now that things have happened, the iron gyroscope group is also chasing after him, and now stopping will only give them as rations, it is better to fight, even if they fight in advance, Meng Cheng will not dare to really hurt them.
Now that he has made up his mind, he will go all out, hesitation will only make him lose worse, Tie Zishan sped up, Jin Quanyi was slightly three steps behind, he wanted to make sure that he found the target at the first time, so as to buy time for Tie Zishan's actions.
The two didn't know that the long-term cooperation had allowed them to have a tacit understanding that went beyond friendship.
Getting closer and closer to Meng Cheng's residence, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and Tie Zishan cheered himself up in his heart.
Zhou Tianshen and Wang Duozhen came to their destination early, and according to Jin Quanyi's previous preparations, they had already prepared a hiding place for them and Wang Cunyuan.
In the tree hole, Wang Duozhan secretly looked out and asked in a low voice, "Shall we go out and have a look, in case Tie Zishan is knocked unconscious by Uncle Meng, we can still help them collect a corpse." β
Zhou Tianshen felt ridiculous, "You're not afraid that Uncle Meng is waiting for us outside, and as soon as you go out, he will directly punch you back to your hometown." β
"That's right, I didn't want to be here for a long time. β
The ghost Wang Duozhan rolled his big eyes, and his hands were groping in his pockets, and finally he turned out a piece of sugar cake, and Wang Duozhan ate it deliciously.
Zhou Tianshen, who smelled the fragrance, was stunned and said, "Why do you still have sugar cakes with you?"
Wang took two or three more bites to solve the sugar cake, rubbed the sugar stains on his hands casually on his clothes, and said with a puffed mouth, "It's gone." β
Zhou Tianshen was speechless, "You are so casual... Do you hear anything?"
Wang Duo covered his mouth and looked out of the cave, "We seem to be in trouble." β
Outside the tree hole, several turquoise gems were suspended in the air, flickering constantly, and there was a black line in the middle of the gems, exuding a terrifying aura.
The two people in the tree hole knew that they were in trouble, and they didn't dare to make any sound, and the turquoise gem approached the two of them, gradually revealing their true faces.
It was a cunning face, with an extra-long beard regularly arranged on both sides of the cheeks, lips curled up and down, pink tongue rubbing the fangs flexibly, as if stinging, and quickly returned to the throat, the turquoise eyes were embedded in the eye sockets, flashing with cunning brilliance, and the two long ears on the top of the head kept fanning, driving away the exclusive poisonous insects of the forest.
Jackals, the most cunning cave beasts in the forest, they like to move in groups, if you see a jackal staring at you, do not hurry to walk towards you, quickly dispel the idea of escaping, fight, maybe there is a glimmer of life, because this means that they have surrounded you, running away will only make you into a dead end. Jackals are creatures that take great care of their bodies, and as long as more than three of their kind are injured in the team, they will mentally weigh whether you are worth their shot.
Zhou Tianshen gasped, of course he knew the cave beast in front of him, the jackal, a feline cave beast that eats people and does not spit out bones, is often used by parents in the world to scare their naughty children, he didn't expect to meet here, it seems that this time it will be unlucky. The two hugged each other tightly, trying to stay away from the jackal's sight, trying to find a gap to leave, but what happened next completely cut off their thoughts.
A sharp claw penetrated the trunk of the tree and appeared on the top of the heads of the two, the sharp claws flashed with cold light, and there were a few leaves hanging on it, at this time, Wang Duozhan couldn't hold back any longer, and a cry came out, the cry pierced the eardrum and spread everywhere, the jackals began to be restless, they fled in all directions, panicked, and some even broke the big trees one after another, just to be able to escape the terrible magic sound, seeing that the jackals were gone, Zhou Tianshen covered Wang Duozhan's mouth irritably, and held him carefully out of the tree hole, the surroundings were messy, and there were footprints everywhere on the groundγ
Zhou Tianshen put down the little boy, wiped the sweat from his head, turned around to look at the tree hole where he was hiding just now, and found that several delicate red flowers had been planted above the tree hole for no reason.
At this time, Wang Duozhan also stopped crying, and Zhou Tianshen gave a thumbs up and said, "It's really thanks to you, I didn't expect you to cry so much." β
Wang Duozhen sobbed and said, "My father taught me." β
"Your dad still taught you this?"
"No, he taught me how to cry loudly, and he said it was our family tradition and told me that it had to be passed on. β
Zhou Tianshen nodded in admiration, after Wang Duozhen cried like this, his heart knot was already broken, and he instantly felt that the sky was much clearer.
This place is obviously no longer able to stay, they have to find another place to live, Wang Duozhan proposed to find Wang Cunyuan and Wan Sansi, Zhou Tianshen acquiesced.
Just when Zhou Tianshen and the jackals were in a-for-tat confrontation, Wang Cunyuan and they had already exchanged hands with another group of jackals, but it was not them who shot, but Meng Cheng who happened to go out, Meng Cheng used the fist wind to shake the jackals who wanted to sneak attack from behind, followed by a punch on the jackals' heads, screaming everywhere, the remaining jackals no longer dared to act rashly, they slowly retreated, wanting to distance themselves from Meng Cheng, Meng Cheng clenched his fists, collided together, and the spiritual power rushed together, although it was out of one body, but it was in its own vein, and then set off a gust of wind, and the jackals were all blown to the sky, and finally fell heavily to the ground, dyingγ
With trembling legs, Wan Sansi held his abacus, his eyes bloodshot, and said angrily, "Uncle Meng, kill them." β
Meng Cheng gave up.
Meng Cheng turned around and plucked the red flowers from the trees behind him and threw them in front of the jackals, who stuck out their tongues and licked the stamens gently.
In fact, jackals are not as bloodthirsty as the world has been circulated, they just prefer red, especially red flowers, the nectar in them is the food they are willing to go crazy for, and even pay for their lives, smaller jackals will be more well-behaved than individual children, they are stubborn by nature, and no one to discipline and justify with the world, so there are many misunderstandings.
Meng Cheng picked up the two children and walked towards his residence, where he asked, "Why did you come here?"
They didn't know what to say.
Back at the lodgings, before I could sit down, there was another commotion outside.
Meng Cheng took a sip of water, his cold face looked gloomy and uncertain in the dim light, and he chuckled, "It's so lively tonight, you're all here?"
The two nodded, carefully sipping their tea.
Meng Cheng washed his face and asked the two people sitting on the stool, "You wait here, I'll take them all back, if they are scratched by jackals, I can't pay the difference." β
The two did not dare to have any objections.
Just when the wooden door was pushed open by Meng Cheng, a figure rushed into his arms, pretending to be a sturdy, and the figure in his arms rubbed his head and shouted, "It hurts me to death." β
It's a girl's voice.
Meng Cheng took a closer look, it was actually Tie Zishan, the mastermind of this operation, but the girl at this time was quite embarrassed, her clothes were full of dust, even her hair, which was carefully combed every day, was a little scattered, there were a few blood marks on her face, and her little face was wrinkled, which was really funny to look at.
Tie Zishan didn't care about the headache, pulled Meng Cheng and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Uncle Meng, go and save Quanyi, he is surrounded." β
Meng Cheng thought badly, it must be the jackals of other groups who came to the door, he quickly settled Tie Zishan, one jumped out of nearly 100 meters, and came to Jin Quanyi's side in a blink of an eye, Jin Quanyi was surrounded by five or six jackals, and there were a few lying on the ground, and then looked into the distance, dozens of iron gyroscopes were watching around, and there were wind-winged birds watching the fire on the other side of the sky, Meng Cheng had a headache and said, "How much trouble have you brought me?"
Jin Quanyi panted and said, "Uncle Meng, Zishan is not injured." β
Just now, the two were running fast, and suddenly a group of jackals ran out from the left, just colliding with them, but fortunately, Jin Quanyi's eyes were quick and blocked Tie Zishan's side in advance, so that the little girl was not injured, seeing that the jackals surrounded the two, Jin Quanyi had a plan, he grabbed Tie Zishan and threw her out, in order to prevent the jackals from chasing, he also threw out the blood mandarin ducks by the way.
Hearing Jin Quanyi's narration, Meng Cheng's heart felt a little comforted, it seems that the cultivation these days is still useful, at least there is one who is willing to use his brain to think, but the cultivation is too humble, otherwise he wouldn't have to do it himself.
Meng Cheng took the hammer in Jin Quanyi's hand, picked him up with one hand, and threw him towards the wooden house, "You have rough skin and thick flesh, you shouldn't be hurt." β
Without Jin Quanyi, Meng Cheng can also show his talents.
The jackal and the iron gyroscope are easy to deal with, it is nothing more than a force to break through a thousand troops, but the wind-winged bird overhead is a big trouble, this kind of cave beast can not be solved by brute force, and you can't beat it if you are on the ground. If it finds the location of those children, the consequences are unimaginable. The most difficult thing is these jackals, according to common sense, so many jackals are injured, their leader should have ordered a retreat, but looking at their situation, it seems that there is a momentum of becoming more and more courageous.
For a while, I didn't know what to do.
