Torches.

Cheng Jing pressed down with one leg, bringing out a dull sound of breaking the air.

She is also a good hand at breaking through her qi and blood, her legs are correct, her movements are calm, although it is a semi-sudden attack, but the accuracy of her posture is quite good in all aspects.

Wei He was caught off guard, knowing that he was provoked by the other party's words, and he lost the first move. I had to block my fists in front of me and protect my head and chest.

Boom!

The long legs, with a smell of muddy soles, slammed into Wei He's arms.

The strength of the legs is generally much stronger than that of the hands, even if Cheng Jing is a woman and her strength is slightly weaker, the strength of the legs is also greater than that of Wei He's hands.

This kick hit the ground running, knocking Wei He back a few steps.

"But that's it!"

A trace of contempt flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes, and he was about to take the opportunity to pursue.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled not far away.

Yes!

A dart master standing on the periphery suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, clutching at the ground with both hands, grabbing large pieces of dirt and turf.

But to no avail, there seemed to be a strong force in the darkness, which quickly dragged him into the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, the cry disappeared, and then stopped abruptly.

It's quiet again.

The dart masters didn't bother to watch the competition, and hurriedly raised their torches to light it up.

It's a pity that only the finger scratches left on the ground and the fresh blood stains left behind by the puddle can only be seen.

"Something!" "Lao Sun was dragged away!"

"How is it possible!?Sun Zhu's strength is one of the best among us!"

"I saw a black shadow, dragged him by the legs and ran backwards! I wanted to hit him with something, but the black shadow was so fast that I didn't react at all, just..."

A dart master trembled, not knowing whether it was fear or regret that your sister could save people in time just now.

Wei He and Cheng Jing didn't care about fighting, and hurriedly approached.

At this time, Cheng Kai had already squatted down in that place to check.

His face was grim, his eyes were solemn, he reached out to the ground behind the scratches and bloodstains, touched it, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it.

"It's a black madman!" he said loudly, everybody, quickly into the house!!" he said loudly, his face suddenly changed.

Yes!!

Before his words fell, there was another scream on the other side.

Another dart master was dragged by his legs and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

"Die!!" a rookie dart master smashed a torch at the dark shadow.

But it's still a lot slower.

The torches only had time to illuminate the small half of the shadow's body.

Everyone glanced at it and saw that it was a strange creature with a black and red head.

It had a black and red bird's head, white eyes, and a body of two meters, half of its body was in the dark, and half of its body was exposed to the firelight.

The thing had two front paws like a human, with five fingers, and nails that were so sharp that they were shiny silver like metal.

As soon as the monster grabbed the dart master's legs and pulled back, the huge force dragged the person down on the spot, and then pulled him into the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Come in! Hurry!!" Cheng Kai roared angrily, and suddenly woke up the stunned dart masters.

The group quickly reversed into the bridgehead room, then closed the door and blocked the two window holes with thick planks on the dart cart.

Most people squatted quickly, quietly, and suppressed their breathing.

Some newcomers were frightened and couldn't help but let out a violent gasp, which was like an ear in this environment, clear and abnormal.

Immediately, an old man reached out and covered the newlyweds' mouth with a towel.

Wei He was also shocked. The monster just now was moving like the wind, and it was extremely fast, and even he only saw a shadow.

He thought to himself that if he was attacked and dragged away and broke free, the odds might be half.

Everyone was silent, and there were only two bonfires burning in the house for a while, and the firewood exploded from time to time in a quiet environment, echoing with the whining wind outside, and it seemed quiet.

Wei He looked left and right, and suddenly found that the person beside him who was still carving wood was gone. There was only a small bag of luggage left behind on the ground.

His heart was cold, and he quickly looked left and right.

He remembered the man's face, in a team of more than twenty people, most of whom he had seen well these days.

But after checking at this time, he still didn't find the person carving the wood.

The only trace left by that person was the bag of luggage placed on the ground next to Wei He.

An old dart master on the side saw his thoughts, lowered his eyes, and sighed slightly.

"Life and death are impermanent..."

Boom!!

Suddenly, the planks of the window hole were slammed down.

The sheer force nearly knocked over the two dart masters holding down the doorway. It was the other two who followed and pressed up, and they blocked it stubbornly.

The old dart master's face turned pale with fright, and the slight muttering in his mouth was only halfway to say, and he was frightened back again.

Wei He was also frightened, but after all, he was a person who had seen blood and had been ruthless, and he was much bolder now. Force yourself to calm down.

"Fire!"

Cheng Kai got up and shouted.

Someone picked up a torch, lit it around the campfire, and quickly handed it over.

Cheng Kai reached out to pick it up.

Boom!!

Suddenly, the planks of the window hole were knocked open, and a black shadow rushed in. just knocked the torch that Cheng Kai wanted to catch flying.

"Get out!"

The two dart masters, together with Cheng Jing, swung their knives from three directions at the same time.

Three machetes slammed into the shadow, smashing it back again.

Immediately, someone picked up a torch and threw it at the shadow.

After all, the black shadow was a little afraid of fire, and quickly retreated with the help of strength, jumped out, and disappeared through the window.

Call... Call...

Everyone gasped for breath, and everyone's faces turned pale under the light of the fire.

Cheng Jing and the three of them dropped the knife, only to find that their tiger's mouth was already blurred with flesh and blood, and they were injured by the shock just now.

"It's a black maniac.... Plug the window hole and continue to guard!Wait for dawn!" Cheng Kai shouted loudly.

He was the one who had just picked up the torch.

At this time, his face was slightly pale, but there was no fear, only composure.

The old man in the dart division quickly obeyed the order, and lifted the heavy wooden plank to re-block the window opening.

This plank is not ordinary wood, but has been concocted in a special way, and there are many tough vines and leather ropes wrapped around it, which is extremely strong.

Even if you are hit hard by that monster a few times, it is only a small piece in the middle, and you can continue to use it.

The window hole was blocked for a while, and Cheng Kai motioned for people to leave some gaps in the wooden planks to allow air to circulate in.

So many people are here in a confined space, and there are two pairs of bonfires, but it is only a short moment, and some people feel stuffy and have trouble breathing.

As soon as the gap opened, a slight whining sound of wind came in from outside, and the cold mountain breeze drifted into the bridgehead room with a trace of blood.

It also made everyone's mood a lot heavier.

No one spoke, and those who were about to speak were also held down by the old man next to him, reminding him not to make a sound.

Everyone was holding back.

The baffle is changed every once in a while, and a few people every once in a while. Wei He also went up and rotated twice.

And so on and so forth.

Finally, a touch of fish belly white gradually appeared in the sky.

There was a subtle sound of birds coming in through the cracks, which immediately made everyone's hearts flutter.

Some of the birds are high-pitched, some are low, and some are aggressive like pecking wood. Sometimes it's close, sometimes it's far, sometimes it's connected.

"It's dawn. Open the door and I'll take a look. Cheng Kai commanded in a deep voice.

Immediately, the old dart master didn't say a word, and slowly opened the wooden door a crack.

Cheng Kai's body moved, and he rushed out as quickly as a cunning rabbit.

The door closed quickly.

Everyone waited slowly, and soon, Cheng Kai's somewhat tired voice came from outside.

"It's okay, let's all come out. ”

After a moment of silence, the dart masters moved out of the window and door, and walked out of the bridgehead room one after another.

At this time, on the ground outside, two pools of blood were clearly visible, drying on the grass.

The blood seemed to have been licked by some animal, and it was a little thin in the middle.

But combined with the surrounding traces, it can still be seen how the two people who were dragged away last night struggled before they died.

Wei He walked over to the bloodstain and crouched down to examine the traces carefully.

He soon felt four claw marks that were much deeper than the scratches of a human hand, and each one was a finger that had pierced deep into the grass until it reached a deep position.

At the same time, there are clear fine lines like palm prints printed in the middle of the claw marks.

Not far away, Cheng Kai and a few dart masters used the luggage and clothes of the two people who were dragged away to make a simple cemetery, and then made different marks with some things that are not easy to degenerate.

That's the only trace left by the two.

Everyone quickly packed up the dart cart, did not stop, quickly took their things across the bridge, and left this place.

Before leaving, someone toasted a few glasses of water instead of wine to the two clothed mounds, and someone silently put something on the cemetery.

Everyone fell silent, stopped talking, quietly cleaned up, and drove away quietly.

When he left, Wei He found that the horse was also missing, probably dragged away by the monster black madman last night.

Cross the long old stone bridge until you reach your destination town.

After everyone handed over the dart goods, their hearts were a little more relaxed.

On the way back, there was nothing to say all the way, because there were no darts and goods, so everyone traveled lightly and the speed was much faster.

It took eight days to go and only six days to come back. Two days of time were saved.

It's just that everyone no longer has the interest in chatting and competing, and only occasionally speaks and hands over according to the rules.

On the way back, when they crossed the stone bridge again, they also crossed it quickly, and there was no longer any stop.

When you are about to arrive at Feiye City, take a short break halfway.

Wei He saw Cheng Kai take out a rudimentary hand-drawn map, and use something like a red crayon to make a heavy mark on the stone bridge.

He looked at the map, and there were at least a dozen red dots along the road.

But along the way, they didn't encounter so many dangers, and the last bridgehead room should be a new point that they had never encountered before.

"Do you feel that there are not so many dangers we encounter?" Cheng Jing sat next to him and said in a low voice.

When we got here, everyone was in a slightly better mood and had time to talk.

"....." Wei He glanced at her, not knowing how to reply.

"Every red dot on the map represents a place where someone has died. Cheng Jing said in a low voice, "The reason why we can spend most of our time on darts is because of the leadership of the big dart head." ”

"How to avoid each red dot, when is the best time to hurry, what needs to be prepared, these big darts do it by heart.

And such a map, I've seen before, there are so many dart games. Cheng Jing's hands were thicker, about the length of a palm.
