Chapter 11 The Transformation of the Black Bear
At the last moment, a black shadow flashed rapidly, and before the bear's paw fell, it defended it in front of the bear's paw with its heavy sword. It turned out that when everyone was in a panic, only Jiang Wangchen still retained his calmness, and was closest to Wang Shan, so he gave up the rope head of the demon net at the moment, so that a move "heavy sword like a mountain" to protect Wang Shan, this move is considered a warrior's unpopular fighting skills, because he is only unilateral and lacks flexibility, but this move is lucky, and then with luck, both hands lift the heavy sword, the horse steps steadily into the ground, standing still, as steady as Mount Tai, in terms of defense ability, but it is one of the best, I don't want to use it today, but it can be used when fighting with the black bear.
If it is an ordinary beast, this "heavy sword like a mountain" is afraid that it cannot be shaken, but in front of the black bear, it is still not strong enough. Seeing the bear's paw sweeping, although the "heavy sword is like a mountain" unloads most of the brute force, the bear's paw still has the remaining strength to knock the two of them away like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, if it is not for a poplar tree on the edge of the cliff to stop, I am afraid that it will fall directly to the edge of the cliff and fall into the Heishui River.
Jiang Wangchen, who hit the trunk of the tree, only felt a sweet throat and spurted out a mouthful of hot blood, and Wang Shan next to him fainted directly.
The demon net lost the control of both ends, and there was no longer the power of the horns, so Xinghao had to give up the demon net and fight with the black bear guerrilla instead. However, the black bear who broke away from the demon net was eager to fight, and after standing, his speed and strength were greatly improved, and everyone tried their best to resist, but there were inevitably many colors on his body. What's more important is that Wang Shan's life and death are uncertain and cannot be delayed.
Jiang Wangchen, who was leaning on the poplar tree, took in the situation in the distance, and with his will, leaning on the heavy sword, he stood up again. He shouted to his partner in the distance: "Big brother, this is a cliff, quickly lure the black bear over." ”
When Xing Hao heard this, his spirits were lifted, and he echoed: "Quick, everyone will lead the black bear to the edge of the cliff." ”。 Everyone knew in their hearts, fought and retreated, rolled and crawled under the black bear's minions, and finally reached the cliff mouth in embarrassment, adding a few new colors to their bodies.
Xing Hao saw that everyone was stable at the cliff entrance, and most of them were only slightly injured, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Everyone stands apart in an arc, Lao Lin, you ...... again."
Before Xing Hao finished speaking, Cao Li's body had already moved first, and with a move of "Blade Ghost Dance", several daggers flew out from between the cloaks in an instant, and the daggers seemed to turn into poisonous snakes spitting letters, and suddenly pounced on the black bear that was rushing towards him. Two of them passed through the faded layer of aura and plunged straight into the crescent red spot on the black bear's chest.
The black bear was injured, but it didn't stop at all, roaring and rushing towards Cao Li, Cao Li had already taken precautions, and only waited for the black bear to come to him, and then easily avoided it with a move "ghost wind retreat". Seeing Cao Li dodging, the black bear wanted to stop and fight back, but his huge body continued to rush towards the edge of the cliff with inertia. Seeing that he was about to fall into the cliff as he wished, he didn't want the black bear to suck the ground with all his palms, increased friction, stumbled, and finally hung an inch away from the edge of the cliff.
"Big brother, Dengyun kick!" It was Jiang Wangchen, who had just been injured, who spoke, and as soon as the words fell, he rolled around with his own thoughts, just between Xinghao and the black bear with a half-squat in a lunge. Xing Hao immediately picked up his speed, ran towards Jiang Wangchen, stepped on his hands with his ten fingers crossed on his knees, and then borrowed Jiang Wangchen's support to jump high and kick the black bear's head hard.
The black bear, which had just stood firm, stumbled and stepped into the air, and with a final wail, slowly fell into the cliff, and landed on the cliff on the bank of the Black Rock River, turning into flesh and mud.
Everyone let out a long breath of relief, and their horror calmed down for a moment. Pastor Yu Guang checked everyone's injuries in a panic, and after a while, he trotted to Xinghao's side, panting: "Wang Shan's injury is the most serious, the five organs have been shaken, I'm afraid he will have to rest in bed for at least half a year, Wangchen also suffered a little internal injury, but his recovery is very fast, and he can recover on his own in less than two days, Wu Kai's back was scratched by a bear claw, deep into the bone marrow, and it will take at least half a month to heal, and everyone else has suffered a little skin injury, which is not a big problem, just apply some callus ointment." ”
Xing Hao was expressionless, staring at the black bear corpse on the cliff, and after listening, he said: "Yu Guang, you, Lao Lin and Yan Han are responsible for escorting Wang Shan, Wu Kai and Wangchen back to the city, Cao Li left us, this black bear cannot spontaneously abandon, there must be some external cause, we have to investigate clearly, otherwise other animals may be infected." ”
Jiang Wangchen was not convinced, his body no longer leaned on the heavy sword, changed to a posture of straightening his waist, and said, "Big brother, I'm fine, let me and my second brother assist you in your investigation." ”
When Xing Hao heard this, he said loudly and angrily: "No!"
Jiang Wangchen did not relent, and said: "You see that this black bear has made us win so miserably by virtue of its transformation alone, and I don't know what happened to this mountain forest, and many people have taken care of it." ”
Xing Hao turned his back, no longer paid attention to Jiang Wangchen's strong arguments, and commanded Yu Guang and the others to retreat.
Cao Li looked at Jiang Wangchen with a sad face, walked to Xing Hao's side, and said: "Big brother, what the third brother said is very true, there must be something abnormal in this forest, it is dangerous and unpredictable, one more person, one more strength." Cao Li saw that Xing Hao's eyebrows were loosened and continued: "Besides, the third brother's recovery ability, others don't know, you and I know it very well, and the third brother never makes a strong courage." Even if there is danger, who of the eight of us will run the fastest?"
The corners of Xing Hao's mouth smiled fleetingly, and he already acquiesced, Jiang Wangchen gratefully cast a "cunning" glance at his second brother Cao Li.
After watching the others leave, the trio returned to the Black Bear Cave. The torturer lit the torch, and the faltering fire reflected the dark red of the cave. The three of them looked at the tragic scene in the cave, and their faces were like ashes. Among the many wreckage, four human corpses were faintly discerned, one of which was a huge internal organ that had been pulled out and covered with flies and maggot chrysalis, and the other two, whose limbs had been torn off deeply, and the wounds were shockingly broken. Jiang Wangchen couldn't bear it at first, ran out of the hole, and retched repeatedly. A moment later, Xing Hao and Cao Li also retreated. The three of them looked at each other a few times and were silent.
After a pause, Xing Hao said: "It seems that the source of the transformation is not in the cave, why don't you take a walk along this side." This is supposed to be a trail formed by the frequent sightings of black bears and their trampling. ”
The other two had no objection, and the three followed the path and sank into the deep forest.
A little afterglow, through the poplar forest, the cut prismatic light is distinct, different from the midday fog steaming, the evening breeze blows, blowing down the mist and mist, revealing a trace of coolness, after all, it is the beginning of spring, and it also reminds of the thin coolness that once encountered the end of winter.
The three of them didn't have time to take care of the pleasant sunset in spring, and continued to step on the path that the black bear had trodden, step by step towards the depths. I walked for a long time, but I didn't find it, and even the faint anger in the air I expected was not strong.
Cao Li began to waver, and said, "Could it be that we are going wrong?"
Xing Hao was also suspicious, but the footprints on the path and the large amount of black bear feces showed that black bears often moved around the area.
The two were about to discuss where to stay, but they heard Jiang Wangchen shout softly: "Look, there is a halo of light in the woods in front, which does not look like it is emitted by a natural light source." ”
Xing Hao and Cao Li followed the direction pointed by Jiang Wangchen, and finally showed a clear look on their faces that they had not seen for a long time, and then they held their weapons in their hands and entered a state of preparation for battle.
Xing Hao blocked Cao Li and Jiang Wangchen behind, probing step by step, no one could predict what kind of existence the mystery that could completely turn the black bear out of control would be.
The spring sunset is short, the afterglow is fading, I don't know whether it is because the mountains and forests are gradually dimming, or relying on the light source to get closer and closer, the red, and the black bear is the same color of the gas layer, more and more bright, faintly, you can also see the halo flowing, weird and enchanting.
It's just that the light is getting stronger, but the anger is not increasing, which is an excellent signal for the three of them. Xinghao walked forward step by step, and finally saw the true face of this light source behind the cover of a rock.
The three of them said in unison: "The magic circle is sealed." ”
It turned out that the red light was emitted by the sealed magic circle, but for some reason, the anger on this magic circle was not as fierce as that on the black bear.
The circle seals a cave, and the entrance of the cave is surrounded by quadrangular stone pillars, which is not like a beast cave, but more like a tomb.
The three of them walked to the front of the magic circle, and Xing Hao said: "If the cold is here, maybe we can still know a little, but the three of us really don't know anything about the magic circle." ”
Cao Li and Jiang Wangchen nodded in agreement. Jiang Wangchen said: "It's better to set up a fence here first to prevent other creatures from entering by mistake." After going back and reporting to the city lord, we will discuss it. ”
Today, this is the only expedient solution. Cao Li looked around and said, "I'll go to the vicinity of this magic circle to do another survey to see if there are any other traces." ”
Xing Hao nodded and said, "Second brother, this surrounding environment is unfamiliar, you should be more careful." ”
After Cao Li nodded in response, he began to explore the surrounding area with the circle as the center. Xing Hao and Jiang Wangchen also began to pick up some dead branches and build a fence, and when the fence was completed, Cao Li also returned from the investigation.
Xing Hao asked with concern: "How is it, have you found anything?" ”
Cao Li wrote lightly: "There is nothing out of the ordinary. ”
Xing Hao replied: "In this deep mountain and old forest, if you don't find it, maybe it's the best discovery, let's go, don't go back to the city, and wait for the night to get dark, but you really have to get lost in the deep mountains and old forests." ”
The three of them quickened their pace and walked out of the forest before the sun was gone.
Not long after the three of them disappeared, another group of creatures appeared in the open space in front of the circle, and they looked absurd and strange, and they didn't know where they came from.
