Chapter 62: Strange Shadows
Jin Lito walked in front silently, the three young men followed behind him, and He Lei and the three followed at the end, in order to prevent some ordinary necromancers from invading them, Xu Du secretly recited the spell of exorcism, the strange thing is that they walked far away, but nothing happened, Chongyi turned his head and glanced at Xu Du, Xu Du nodded, understanding that Chongyi meant to be careful.
"Don't be too nervous, children, you may think that we have walked for so long and have not met anything, but in fact you have only walked a little distance, and there is still a long way to go, and we have been doing it all night that day!" said the old man, reaching out to remove the huge leaf in front of him, but something flung from the front.
The old man's movements were much more agile than they thought, and before the thing could get close, the old man dropped his knife and cut the thing in half, and then he pushed away the remaining half of the thing, and said as he walked forward: "Don't pay attention to it, it's a corpse tree, those are not real corpses, it's those trees that are disguised to confuse people, once someone is scared or stops to study it, they will be dragged away by the corpse tree, recall that at that time, our two missing people may have stopped to rest before being taken away by the corpse tree." ”
The three of them didn't say anything, they had never heard of such a thing as a corpse tree, so when they walked past the corpse, they deliberately illuminated it with the firelight and took a look, so they looked at it, everyone had a disgusting feeling in their hearts, if the corpse was camouflaged, but the camouflage was too similar, originally the three of them thought that the corpse should be green, and there were layers of leaves inside, who knew that it was no different from the real corpse, there was flesh and blood, but it looked a little dry.
"Before I got to the cave, I'll tell you, when I get to the cave, don't pay attention to anything you see, I came to the cave later, but I didn't get close, but I am sure that this cave has the power to summon spirits, to put it more terrifyingly, it can eat people, and the shadows I saw back then should be the souls of people who were eaten by the cave. The old man waved the torch in his hand as he spoke, as if he was expelling something.
"Can't we get around this cave, then?" asked Heavy Wing as he looked at the old man's waving torch, but for a moment he saw a black figure standing in front of him under the light of the torch.
"Ah......" The old man turned around, and the torch in his hand did not stop: "Bypass, the place to go around is different, I don't understand what the principle is, but you can only save your friends by one way, that is, through the cave." ”
"Ha Qiu!" Ma Chen, who was on the boat at this time, sneezed, he reached out and rubbed his nose, and then walked to the side of the boat to look at the island, but saw that there seemed to be a fire in the distance, which made him suspicious, just now he looked for the whole ship, all the people were gone, I don't know where to run, now there is a fire, and it is so far away, Ma Chen is very suspicious that they are avoiding him from eating something.
"Hey, Ma Chen, tell them to sleep well tonight and leave after dawn tomorrow!" Caitou's voice sounded from below at this time, Ma Chen looked down and saw Caitou alone grabbing the anchor and climbing up.
"None of them are here, why are you alone and not going out with the others?" asked Ma Chen.
"Don't you also know, I'm going to find the way out, Heavy Wing is looking for those who attacked us, and the others are waiting for news on the ship, don't you still agree?" Caitou said and climbed onto the boat, thought for a while and turned his head sharply and asked, "You said that they are not here, did they all go there?"
"My God, wouldn't it be someone who is kind enough to trouble the evil spirits on that island, if that's the case, we'll be in big trouble, big brother captain, it seems that we won't be able to leave at dawn!" Ma Chen followed Caitou's gaze to the forest.
"Don't guess, they didn't say we don't know, let's not run around, just wait for them on the boat, you have to believe that they will be back soon, as soon as they come back, I will sail as soon as they can see the sun. Caitou stretched out his hand and turned his head to look at Ma Chen, and in the forest, Chongyi looked at the waving torch in the old man's hand, and saw a figure again, and this time the figure seemed to be waving at him.
"Hey, hey......" A voice grew louder and louder in Heavy Wing's ears, and Heavy Wing came back to his senses and looked at the person who called him, but this person was not anyone in his team.
"Who are you, and the others?" asked the man, who looked around, as if looking for something, but couldn't find what he was looking for, and sat down on a rock disappointed.
"Who am I, I'm Zhang Yinzhong, I don't know where the others have gone, either we are lost, or they are separated, Coles, did you break your brain and suddenly come and ask who I am?" the man said discouragedly, then stood up again, put his finger to his mouth and shhhhhh
"Coles, there is a voice, it may be that they are coming back to look for us, but it is far away, this is not the way, get up, go to them together!" The man named Zhang Yinzhong came over and pulled up the heavy wing, and then explored the front, and the heavy wing listened for a while, but did not hear any sound, and then saw that the man had gone away, so he quickly chased after him.
"How did we get left behind?" asked Heavy Wing, as he had a feeling that the incident he had encountered at this time had happened before, and that the Coles and Zhang Yinzhong who had encountered this incident might be the two missing people in the team that Kinlito had said.
"It's not because of you, when you saw the corpse, you were scared, you fell down without saying a word, and hit me, who will see us at the back, now it's okay, where to find them!" Zhang Yinzhong said this, suddenly turned around and stared at Chongyi fiercely, grabbed Chongyi's clothes with one hand, and put the torch on top of Chongyi's head with the other hand and said: "You'd better not bother me, I'm here now because you know, if you talk to me again, I'll let you burn it next time, so they will come back to us!"
Zhang Yinzhong finished speaking, waiting for Chongyi to respond to him, but saw Chongyi looking behind him in a daze, Zhang Yinzhong, who originally thought that Chongyi was stupid, felt that something was wrong, he slowly looked back, and the torch in his hand shone forward. A figure covered in darkness was waving slowly at them next to a tree in front of them.
"Who is it, Kinlito or Barcel?" asked Zhang Yinzhong as he slowly walked forward, leaning forward as much as he could, so that the torches could illuminate the front more quickly, and if the figure was not someone they knew, they could run back quickly.
Heavy Wing also hurriedly followed, also wanted to see what was going on with the figure, this figure he had seen a few times tonight and had forgotten, if he didn't figure it out, then they over there, the group of people who walked into the forest with Heavy Wing now might be killed by this black shadow, and Heavy Wing was now possessed by a dead person, so he didn't care.
"Nobody, strange, strange......" Zhang muttered as he waved the torch in his hand, and the place where he waved the torch was where the figure had just stood.
At this time, Chongyi followed, and saw Zhang Yinzhong waving a torch, I don't know why there was a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, this action he had also done before with the sword Jinlito, and I thought that Jinlito was expelling something, but now it seems that this is completely unconscious.
"Uh!" Zhang Yinzhong seemed to hear something, turned his head to look ahead, but saw that there was also a figure in the forest in front of him waving here, and not only the distance was widened, this figure was much taller than the figure who waved to them just now, Zhang Yinzhong was afraid not only that this figure had become taller, but also that the front was originally pitch black, and the fire in his hand was so bright, he couldn't see anything in the distance, but now he clearly saw a black shadow waving his hand.
Chongyi also saw it, this is a very strange thing, seeing Zhang Yinzhong turn around and run back, Chongyi also turned around and ran back, or the one named Coles turned around and ran back, although Chongyi possessed this once living person, his brain consciousness is still this person's.
Zhang Yinzhong was tripped and fell, and Heavy Wing also stepped into the footsteps, and was tripped in the same place, and this position, there was nothing, and after they fell, the torch that fell on the ground was also extinguished, and the surroundings fell into darkness, but the black shadow was unusually clear, and it was getting closer to them step by step, the horror was that this black shadow was not walking, nor fluttering, but disappeared like a poisonous flash, disappeared and reappeared.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and the fear of the two reached the extreme, they wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound, they could only watch the black shadow finally come to them, and then remained motionless, as if looking at them,
While the two were waiting for death, the black shadow didn't make any moves, it just looked at the two of them for a while, and suddenly seemed to feel something else, raised its head and looked ahead, and the two thought that there would be more monsters, so they turned their heads to look in the direction that the black shadow was looking at, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
The two of them felt strange, so they turned to look at the black shadow, but found that there was nothing in front of them, as if the black shadow had not appeared since the beginning.
"Hehe, hahahaha, that's a scary buddy, haha!" Zhang Yinzhong said with a trembling laugh, he took out the flint and lit the torch, but he heard something behind him, he turned his head sharply to look, but there was nothing but the big tree.
"What, something!" Zhang Yinzhong screamed and crawled back, but his body suddenly twitched, Chongyi looked at Zhang Yinzhong, and felt very frightened in his heart, he wanted to get up and run away, but his body suddenly hurt as if he had been stabbed by something, and then he was in pain all over, and the pain made him convulse constantly.
Zhang Yinzhong in front of him melted at a very fast speed, and Chongyi also felt that some parts of his body were gradually losing sensation, his eyes were soon full of bloodshots, and there seemed to be something flowing out, but then he had lost his senses, and finally he saw Zhang Yinzhong completely melt and disappear, while his clothes were lying neatly on the ground, and at the same time he also lost consciousness.
