Chapter 40: The Missing Man
However, because of Bai Zhen's presence in Guan Yang, they were all relieved a lot, and the ordinary low-level demon beasts were driven away by Bai Zhen's spirit beast aura and scattered as birds and beasts.
Looking at Xiao Ba, who climbed into the hood of his sweatshirt and refused to go to the ground, he couldn't help but sigh, the difference between beasts and beasts, how could he save such a big ......
I have to say that cultivators are different from those without spirits, this large group of people with swords and flying knives, plus a group of various spirit demon beasts, looks extremely stylish. It was still Zhu Yuanning who opened the road at the front, he mainly controlled the route of the group, and the rest of the people scattered behind. As they went deeper and deeper, several people in the team gradually distanced themselves a little.
Jing Yu and Tang Mengyao followed closely behind Zhu Yuanning, of course, Jing Yu was used to being the advance force, and Tang Mengyao was purely for nymphomaniac. But I don't know if it's a task, on weekdays, Zhu Yuanning has always been gentle and patient with Tang Mengyao, a little girl, but today he didn't answer the other party's words much, and only led the way wholeheartedly.
The next team is Jiang Chen and Xia Wheat, the oxygen in the forest is rich but the light is thin, and with the huge vines and the sound of beasts in the distance, some eerie atmosphere spreads unconsciously. The girl worked tirelessly in such an atmosphere to tell Jiang Chen the ghost stories of the immortal cultivation world.
Walking in the back are the fat man and Guan Yang. Tang Mengyao was too enthusiastic and seemed to make Guan Yang a little unbearable, so he quietly distanced himself from her, and the conversation between Xia Mai and Jiang Chen was too terrifying, and he was so frightened that he walked with the fat man after listening to it for a while.
Although Sun Qian didn't wait to see Guan Yang, he didn't deliberately embarrass the other party, but without saying a word, he concentrated on pulling down the little monkey that drilled everywhere on his body from all over his body.
"It is said that a long, long time ago......," said Xia Mai, in a low voice, "in the same forest where we are now, there was a terrible supernatural story. ”
Jiang Chen was a little speechless, Xia Mai's character is really amazing, he likes to base his happiness on the pain of others, after listening to her talk about the "Ten Thousand Years of Flying Corpses in the Mountain Village" and "The Self-immolating Immortal in the Photo", Jiang Chen felt that the temperature of the entire forest had dropped a lot. The woman became more and more energetic, and when she saw Guan Yang shivering, she simply told the story of the forest background, and her cheeks were a little red because of excitement.
Xia Mai is a more terrifying existence than a ghost story, Jiang Chen silently concluded in his heart
"It was a group of five cultivators, each with superb spells, who entered the mountain together to find the root of the 10,000-year-old sand. The girl's voice continued: "But there is a powerful formation in the forest that separates one of the cultivators from the others, so let's call this scattered person A." The other four searched for him in the forest for five days and five nights, but in the end there was no result, so they had to return to their respective families to report the matter. When A's family heard about it, they sent their disciples to the forest again to look for someone, but they still didn't find it, and this matter was gradually forgotten by people. Speaking of this, the girl's tone paused, and she looked at a few people around her.
Although Xia Mai's voice was low, the volume was raised a lot, ensuring that several people around him could hear it. After all, the fat man is a professional ghost catcher, and he is not interested in this kind of story at all. Guan Yang was originally afraid to walk at the back, but when he heard her words, he was so frightened that he took two steps forward, leaving the fat man behind the palace.
"And then?" Jiang Chen said helplessly, knowing that if he didn't let this aunt talk about it, it would definitely not be over.
The girl was very satisfied with Jiang Chen's eyesight, and continued: "Soon, a hundred years have passed, and a certain descendant of A went to the forest alone again to collect minerals, but encountered a torrential rain, so the descendant found a remote cave to take shelter from the rain. However, what he didn't expect was that in that cave, he met A, who had been missing for many years. ”
"A's not dead?" Guan Yang interjected with a look of fear and desire to listen.
"Yes, although he looks a lot haggard and his clothes are torn, I can be sure that it is A. The descendants were overjoyed, so they stepped forward to greet them, hugged A and cried to express their feelings of longing. But you can talk about it...... Later generations discovered a problem...... That is, A doesn't seem to know that a hundred years have passed outside, and he just thinks that he has just lost his way in the mountains. ”
"The time in the mountains is different from outside?" Jiang Chen guessed.
"I don't know. Xia Mai shook his head: "Everyone has found it, why do you care so much." All in all, the descendants were going to take A home, and told A that the other four people who were traveling with him at the time must be happy to know that he was still alive. But when A heard this, he burst into tears. ”
Guan Yang asked, "Do you hate those people for abandoning him?"
"No...... A said while crying...... Said that he was sorry for the four brothers who were traveling with him...... I'm also sorry for their wives and children, he has no face to live alone. The descendants were puzzled by this, until A took him to the depths of the cave, where four bodies were placed side by side, and it was the same four people who were with A at that time. ”
Hearing the climax of the story, Guan Yang was so frightened that he wrapped his coat tightly and squeezed hard towards Jiang Chen and them. Xia Mai did not give up, and insisted on telling the story to the end: "Just like A said, it seems that less than a day has passed in the mountains, and the faces of the four corpses are clear, the wounds are still bleeding, the bodies are not rotting at all, and the clothes and waist tags representing the identity are all available." Later generations were also shocked, and only after asking did they know that the five of them had found the Ten Thousand Years Sand Root, but there was a powerful demon beast guarding it, and several people fought with it, and finally lost the enemy, and the four were unfortunately killed, leaving him to escape to the cave with the corpses of everyone. ”
"That'...... The four people who went back...... Is it alive or dead......" Guan Yang seemed to be completely attracted by the story, but his little face was pale but he insisted on asking.
"Guess?" Xia Mai smiled and whetted his appetite, but without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued: "Although the descendants are very scared, they still choose to take A and the four corpses back to investigate clearly. But before they got home, they received a message from the flying pigeon halfway that the four people who were originally alive and well had died violently in the family, and the death was the same as what he had seen in the cave...... It's exactly the same!"
"Ahh
However, at this time, with Guan Yang's scream, a miserable scream also sounded in the forest......! It sounded very close to them, and the tone was extremely poignant, creepy, and a little ...... Familiar?
Jiang Chen was the first to react, and subconsciously said, "Fatty?"
At this time, everyone found out that Sun Gan, who was originally following the back of the team, disappeared without knowing when.
Obviously, one moment he was sneering disdainfully at the story of Xia Mai, how could it be like evaporating from the world the next moment. So everyone immediately raised their feet and ran wildly in the direction where the screams came.
Soon, they found Sun Qian.
The fat man was in a strange posture and was hung in the air.
It was a huge spider web, and the fat man was glued to the web, and he didn't know what kind of spider it was, but he actually tied the fat man with milky white silk threads to look like tortoiseshells, and the clothes on his body didn't know when they were stripped naked.
Tang Mengyao covered her eyes with a "wow-" and stepped back, hiding behind Zhu Yuanning. And Zhu Yuanning just stood there and watched, without helping.
Seeing Zhu Yuanning's reaction, Jiang Chen had a bottom in his heart, this creature should not be considered powerful, and it can be completely handled by relying on a few of them.
Xia Mai's reaction was more peculiar, with a wonderful expression on his face, and he snorted twice.
When the fat man saw everyone standing in place, he couldn't help shouting, "Damn! What are you doing standing, save me!"
Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to step forward and drag the fat man down, but Jing Yu didn't know when he stood beside him and stopped him: "Wait." ”
"Damn!!!" the fat man was still howling in the cobweb.
"You can't rush forward," Xia Mai also said, "I have seen this creature in the book, the name should be 'Thousand People Spun Fire Spider', which usually appears in groups and specializes in hunting highly intelligent social creatures. Its characteristic is to catch a lone one first, and then rely on this one prey to attract more companions, so as to kill in one fell swoop and eat in groups. ”
"What should I do then?" Guan Yang asked a little anxious.
"Bait. Jing Yu gently spit out two words.
