Chapter 34: Booby-Trap
In the hazy mist, with a hint of weirdness, the two miserable corpses on the ground were no longer human, and this scene added to the gloomy atmosphere around them.
The girl was still very disgusted with this kind of terrifying thing, Lu Youyou covered her mouth with a pale face, and ran back with Tianming. But at this moment, a black afterimage suddenly appeared from the fog on the other side.
"Ahh
The rest of them were all frightened by her inexplicable voice, and when they looked in the direction of Lu Youyou's finger, they found that it was not as evil as Lu Youyou said at all.
"What the hell are there, do you see a pervert!" Celestial Brown smiled wickedly, her eyes narrowed.
"You... What do you think? I'm telling the truth, I actually saw a figure floating over there. Lu Youyou's face was a little unsightly, and he looked a little frightened when he spoke.
Hearing this, Tianhe also laughed and said, "Senior sister, how can anyone float, it's because you're too nervous! ”
"But... But.. "The road is long and divided.
Tianhe hurriedly interrupted Lu You's thoughts, and said, "Don't be, our task now is to leave this place quickly, find the girl from the red lotus to complete the task and leave here as soon as possible." If there really are ghosts, then won't we be solved sooner along the way?"
Tianhe's words were not unreasonable, but Lu Youyou didn't know how to defend herself, because what she had just seen was just a residual sound, so she wasn't sure what it was?
"Besides, people shouldn't have such a strange speed, maybe it's their own hallucination!" Lu Youyou secretly began to comfort himself.
It's just that except for Tianying's expression that is a little dignified, the other people didn't take Lu Youyou's words to heart at all. Because he was very sure that the wounds on those people were not bitten open by these poisonous insects, but were directly killed.
Therefore, he also carefully observed the footprints left by several people around him, and in this damp mud, it was easier for hunters to distinguish the footprints of prey from humans. He noticed that in addition to these two people, there were also very faint footprints around him. From this point of view, he had ruled out the possibility that it was a wild beast attack that caused the death.
It's just that according to the rules of the hunter, since the other party is an old hunter, he will not make such a mistake at all. Because as long as you and others follow this footstep to look for it, then the murderer will not be easy to find.
What he wasn't sure about now was whether the footprints were deliberately left by the guy or accidentally. The footprints are lighter than ordinary people, obviously this is an extremely experienced hunter, if this footprint is placed in an ordinary forest, no one can detect it, even if it is an extremely old hunter, it is extremely difficult to find out the location of this guy.
But this guy actually ignored this, this place is no ordinary jungle, this is a misty muddy place, no matter how agile you are, you will leave footprints, unless you notice and erase them.
Tianying frowned and pondered, I'm afraid these footprints were accidentally left by that guy. But as he looked down at the footprints, he noticed that they were still lingering around the corpse for a while, which meant that the guy who had killed him had been around for a while.
The thought of this made his heart beat even harder. If he hadn't come with a few people before, but had asked the two of them to come together to investigate, then the guy who had been hidden here for a long time would probably attack again and eat away at their group little by little.
Seeing them limping back and forth, Lu Youyou asked with some confusion, "Senior Brother Immortal, are you looking for something?"
It's not just Lu Youyou who is so confused, even Tianhe and Tianbrown are you looking at me, I look at you, looking at you at a daze, I don't understand what Tianming is doing.
Tianming wandered around for a while with a solemn expression, and suddenly asked Lu Youyou, "That's right, Youyou." Where is the figure you just saw? ”
Lu Youyou pointed to the gravel not far away suspiciously, and said suspiciously, "That's it." Maybe I'm wrong! The fog here is so heavy that it's normal to not be able to see clearly. ”
Looking at the suspicious appearance of the heavenly ghosts, several people became a little unnatural.
"Is there really a ghost?" Tianhe looked at Lu Youyou on the side, and couldn't help but shiver all over his body.
When Tianying walked to the direction pointed by Lu Youyou, he saw a very faint footprint, which was much shallower than that of several people. Of course, this is not because this guy is not fat, even if he is very thin, the footprints will sink into about ten centimeters, and Lu Youyou is a good example. But the depth of this footprint is as if it is just a person holding a shoe and making a shoe print tightly on the ground.
At this time, he knew that the guy Lu Youyou was talking about was not a ghost at all, but because the guy was too agile and too fast, so it would make Lu Youyou have an illusion. Thinking of this, Tianming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it turned out that the guy had been secretly observing himself.
"Follow me, don't be left alone. We may be targeted by a ruthless hunter, and trouble is coming. Tianming said coldly.
"Ahh
Hearing this, Tianming smiled bitterly, if he could know, he wouldn't be so worried.
During this period, Tian Meditation pondered one thing, whether he and the others had fallen into the layout of the red lotus. However, Tianming also dealt with that girl, so he knew everything about it. But on the basis of the available evidence, he even had some suspicions that the girl had not done these things.
There are two doubts, the first is that the girl has no such skillful hunting skills. The second is that he knows that girl is natural, and that girl will never treat people as beasts. Although these two points cannot rule out the inclusion of Red Lotus, they can also draw a conclusion, that is, there is indeed someone else who did this. But apart from the Red Lotus guy, who would dare to kill unscrupulously on this special hunting day.
After thinking about it, Tianyin can't get an answer, so now the only way to find this guy hiding in the shadows is to find out. Following this footstep, Tianying knew that he would be able to find the real culprit.
Follow the footprints, which are the highest point of the rocks in the area. Looking up from the low recess, the place could not be seen clearly through the fog, but the hunter's hunting instinct told him that it was the best place to observe his prey.
Several people followed without knowing why, although they didn't know why Tianying was so nervous, but the atmosphere was often contagious, and the slightest fear lingered in everyone's hearts.
"Poof!" a small sound came from behind him, with a hoarse voice. It was as if someone was whispering something in their ears, but it was hard to hear.
Everyone still walked without feeling, and one by one they fell into deep thought. Lu Youyou also lowered her little head, I don't know if she was awakened by that voice, at this moment she was also affected by the dull atmosphere on the road, she couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say at the moment: "It stands to reason that if the people in the tribe die, then there should be an Inspector Elder to come to investigate, but why didn't you see it today?"
Although the dead in the tribe are small, after all, it is normal for hunters who make a living from hunting to be killed and injured. However, the tribe forbade each other to fight each other, and if you are killed by your prey, it means that you are not good at learning, and no one will sympathize with you when you die. But the tribe forbids fellow believers to kill each other, which is unforgivable.
Tian Ming didn't answer about this matter, he couldn't tell Lu Youyou the truth of the matter, but he just used a sentence of not knowing to prevaricate her.
Tianhe also kept persuading on the side, let Lu Youyou not worry. As a result, I also encouraged myself, and my heart was a lot soothed. However, when he looked at the sky brown on the side, he found that the living figure was gone.
Tianhe looked at the empty side in a daze, Tiantan was still walking quietly on the side just now, but why did he suddenly disappear?
At that moment, he couldn't help but ask, and asked Lu Youyou on the side, "Where's the brown? Why is it gone, it was still here just now." ”
When Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, just now he was also distracted because he was thinking about other things, and he walked all the way forward, but he didn't find anything wrong.
Lu Youyou also looked dazed, and said, "I don't know!
But when everyone came back to their senses, they finally heard the hoarse shout, which came from behind everyone, like a person who wanted to make a sound, but couldn't make it at all.
Everyone heard the sound and left, and the moment they turned around, a chill hit from everyone's naked feet, spreading all over their bodies.
In the mist, there was a wooden arrow stuck in Tianbrown's throat, blood kept coming out of his mouth, at this moment his eyes were red, his expression was extremely hideous, the corners of his mouth wanted to say something, but his throat had been pierced by a wooden arrow accurately from the back, and he couldn't open his mouth at all.
As the corners of the brown mouth squirmed, the blood continued to overflow like a fountain, and this scene was a little terrifying.
Suddenly, Tianying reacted, and he was shocked beyond words, only trembling in his heart and thinking of two words.
"Booby-Trap"
