Chapter 11: The Demons of the Heart
The sky above may have been gray since its existence, casting a shadow over the hearts of those who are accustomed to seeing the blue sky and the sun shining. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although there is no sunlight here, plants and those mutant beasts can continue to survive, and humans should be able to do so, but the yearning for sunlight that has been carved into the bones for generations still makes every human who comes here lose something.
Some people have lost hope, and some people have lost their lives.
It's hard to say which one is more pathetic, but everyone who is still alive will work harder to live doubly. Unless, all hope is cut off.
No one thought that the seemingly shrewd Chang Liang would collapse so suddenly, and even Chang Yi, who thought he knew Chang Liang, was stunned, and did not attach to his cousin for the first time.
Qin Ji just exchanged a few words with the system, and when he turned around, he saw Chang Liang sitting on the ground decadently, holding his head in his hands, and no matter who talked to him, he was silent.
Chang Liang was just an ordinary person, although he knew that those people in the hotel would not survive, but he didn't see it after all, and now that he suddenly encountered such a tragic human corpse, he couldn't help but think of those familiar faces in the hotel.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Ji frowned and asked Wen Qianluo beside him. They didn't have time to stay in this place for too long, and if they waited for the other mutant beasts to follow the smell of blood, things would be difficult.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to go, I'm going to die anyway, I can still die with those people here, and I can have a companion down there." ā
Wen Qianluo just wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Chang Liang's excited words. Chang Liang's eyes were full of defeat, which was the fear and death that had been pent up in the past two days.
He didn't have the courage to face another wave of mutant beasts, let alone the mutant beasts that might appear around him at any time, and those who were disemboweled, would soon be their end.
"Do you think that if you die in this place, there will be such a thing as a soul?"
Qin Ji's face was full of ridicule, and the words he said made Chang Liang's face even pale.
Although Qin Ji is usually cold, he is not unkind, it just makes people think that he is not good at words, but as soon as this remark came out, everyone realized that Qin Ji could be so cold.
"I, I just..."
It's just what, Chang Liang can't say.
"You're just cowardly, you don't have the ability to live, and you don't have the courage to continue living, people like you might as well be killed by me with one sword, save that group of mutant beasts. ā
Qin Ji had frost on his face, sarcastic words in his mouth, and the dagger in his hand was already on Chang Liang's neck.
Yu Haoying was startled, and hurriedly went to pull Qin Ji's hand, although Chang Liang dragged everyone back at this time, how could he watch him being killed by Qin Ji.
didn't pull Qin Ji's arm, but almost cut a cut on Chang Liang's neck, Yu Haoying was also a little anxious, why did he recruit this evil star to the team in the first place?
Qin Ji glanced at Yu Haoying coldly, Yu Haoying felt the evil aura and coldness in his eyes, and couldn't help but take half a step back, no longer thinking of confrontation.
"I, I don't want to die, I don't want to die. ā
As if he was stupefied by Qin Ji, Chang Liang kept struggling, muttering 'I don't want to die' intermittently.
"Don't kill my brother. ā
Qin Ji was suddenly hugged by Chang Yi, his arm was also imprisoned, the dagger fell to the ground, and Chang Liang was able to escape from Qin Ji's side.
Chang Liang sat paralyzed under the tree, forgetting to pick up his glasses when he fell off, his eyes still had the horror he had just had, and the whole person was constantly panting, as if he was going to suck out all the oxygen in his life.
As soon as Chang Yi saw that Chang Liang was safe, he let go of Qin Ji and ran to Chang Liang's side regardless of it.
Everything happened too fast just now, and by the time everyone reacted, Chang Yi was already calming the frightened Chang Liang.
"Do you still want to die?"
Qin Ji acted as if nothing had happened, and walked straight in front of Chang Liang.
The light in front of Chang Liang was mostly covered by Qin Ji, and he looked up and caught a glimpse of a malicious smile on the corner of Qin Ji's mouth, as if to say that if he wanted to die again, that person wouldn't mind giving him a ride.
"No, I don't want to. ā
He heard his trembling voice, but he couldn't control himself.
"Alright, let's go. ā
Taking the lead in picking up the backpack on the ground, Qin Ji returned to his usual cold appearance, dusted off his body casually, and beckoned Wen Qianluo to follow him.
He didn't have time to do psychological counseling with Chang Liang, if he wanted to open it, it would be fine, if he couldn't think about it, Qin Ji would only take Wen Qianluo to go first.
However, it seems that although his methods are a little more intense, the effect is surprisingly good. Qin Ji saw Chang Liang obediently following the team, and his mood suddenly improved.
It's not that he didn't notice the cautious look of the team towards him, but he didn't care, he just wanted the whole team to set off quickly, and the goal was achieved.
Wen Qianluo didn't suspect that Qin Ji's original seemingly cold but gentle appearance was pretending, she just had a headache for Qin Ji offending others, even if Qin Ji didn't care, she couldn't help it, it seemed that it wouldn't be long before she parted ways with this team.
Yu Haoying later reacted to Qin Ji's intentions, but he couldn't convince himself that he would really trust someone with such cold eyes, the most important thing was that Qin Ji was beyond his control, and he didn't know if he would have no guilt if such a thing happened in the future.
Absorbing the energy in the Yuan Jing was not as difficult as Qin Ji originally thought, and he even had to meditate to protect the Dharma or something, he only slightly mobilized a trace of spiritual power in the palm of his hand, and the energy in the Yuan Jing seemed to be eager to merge with the trace of spiritual power in his palm.
Without any further delay, Qin Ji guided the energy in the Yuan Jing into his body. As soon as the energy in the Yuan Jing entered his body, Qin Ji couldn't control it, and that trace of energy was scurrying around in his body, as if he was looking for a suitable place to perch.
Suddenly, that trace of energy seemed to have found an organization, along the back of Qin Ji's neck, around the spring point above his head to the center of his eyebrows, and finally merged into Qin Ji's spiritual power.
The energy in Qin Ji's body seemed to be dripping into a drop of boiling oil, and it rioted instantly, Qin Ji's footsteps stopped for a moment, and the stinging pain between his eyebrows was too obvious for him to ignore.
Fortunately, the stinging pain didn't last long, and before Wen Qianluo looked over, he had already sorted out his expression and followed the team casually.
The team is no longer as relaxed and happy as before, Qin Ji doesn't care, Wen Qianluo is worried, and the other five people can't let go of their faces, after all, they all really thought in their hearts that Qin Ji was going to kill Chang Liang.
Although it is human nature, after all, they haven't known each other for a long time, but when they really think about it, they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts, so they are simply embarrassed all the way to the end.
This embarrassment didn't last long, Qin Ji felt his eyebrows jump, he turned his head suddenly, and only vaguely seemed to see a shadow flashing.
He didn't know whether the shadow was tall or short, or what it looked like, and it made his heart sink to the bottom in an instant.
"Gather the team, the mutant beast is coming. ā
Qin Ji didn't know how to explain it, so he simply didn't explain it, just when he saw the mutant beast, others wouldn't suspect anything. Those mutant beasts seem to have a higher IQ than other mutant beasts, not only are they fast, but they also know how to lurk.
He is not a savior with a halo, if he can save these people, he will naturally not hesitate to use his ability, if even self-preservation is a problem, he can only put his own life first.
Several people quickly formed a small circle, although they were still a little afraid of Qin Ji, but Qin Ji's strength was there, and he would never lie to deceive them.
Even the wind in the woods was much quieter, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't notice any creature that could threaten them, only Qin Ji held the mace of the elite rat in his hand, and he didn't seem to relax at all.
Yu Haoying glanced at Qin Ji suspiciously, and the others moved their stiff hands and feet impatiently, the woods were so normal that they couldn't be normal anymore, where was the mutant beast that Qin Ji said?
It can't be Qin Ji's dazzle, right?
Qin Ji frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "That thing has been following us, don't let your guard down." ā
Wen Qianluo immediately clenched the Longquan Sword in his hand when he heard this, his shoulders drooped slightly, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy, Qin Ji said so, which means that the current situation is indeed not optimistic, even if she did not find anything abnormal.
Although the movements of the other people seem to be more regular, they are still a little disappreciative in their hearts, they have not seen mutant beasts, although they look terrible, in fact, they are just beasts in the final analysis, if mutant beasts really know how to lurk and follow them, then it is really terrifying.
