Chapter 23: An incense candle
Outside the village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Gou stood in the darkness, a faint sneer on his hazy face.
Inevitably, the living corpse sensed his aura and chased him, and Mu Gou didn't dare to stay longer, and followed the route in his memory.
Soon, he appeared under the same tree where he had stayed.
But what made his heart sink was that it was empty, with a large amount of hay scattered above the crypt where he was hiding, and several rotting corpses lying farther away, mostly stumps and severed arms, as if torn apart by life.
When he left just now, he saw a living corpse from a distance, and it was naturally not difficult to distinguish that the several corpses lying on the ground were all living corpses.
Thinking of this, he secretly thought that he was lucky. Regardless of whether the people who took their father and little sister had other purposes, at least in the moment, they saved their lives.
I don't know what the other party has in mind!
Mu Gou said secretly.
He knew that he was in a hurry, and after observing the marks on the ground, he shot in a certain direction.
The fire was blazing.
The monstrous light of the fire illuminates the endless night sky.
A figure stepped out of the flames, carrying a burlap around his body, enveloping him in darkness.
There was no trace of life in his body, only a thick death breath.
"Mu Gou!"
A soft murmur came from under its burlap.
The figure raised its head slightly, revealing a half-potted face, which seemed to have been bitten by countless poisonous insects, and there was not an inch of smooth face.
With a snort, a tiny bug slipped through his nostrils and fell to the ground.
He roared angrily and stomped on the bug without hesitation.
But the next moment, the insect scurried up from the ground with a thud, and actually burrowed back into its body through its nostrils again, and with a grunt, a pimple rose slightly in his throat, and slowly slid his abdomen.
He seemed to have anticipated such a situation, and he didn't stop it, but just whined, like anger, unwillingness, and fear!
"Mu Gou!"
"Mu Gou!"
He screamed several times, and his figure suddenly fell to the ground and disappeared in place.
In the jungle, Mu Gou inexplicably felt a chill in his back, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look behind.
In the night, a monstrous fire could be seen rising in the distance, and thinking of the dozens of floating corpses, Mu Gou couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
If Wang Dawen doesn't die in this way, it would be too perverted!
Mu Gou retracted his thoughts and swept his gaze around, in a vain attempt to find some special traces left by humans.
But the other party did not know what method was used, and not long after leaving the big tree, there was no trace left.
Can you still fly away?
He cursed.
Not to mention whether the ability to fly to the sky exists, even if it exists, it is absolutely impossible to find any clues with his strength!
In desperation, he had no choice but to blindly wander around and try his luck.
Syllable!
A small snake the size of a thumb and more than a foot long fell from the tree, fell to Mu Gou's throat, and was whipped away by Mu Gou's palm.
"The jungle is full of dangers! Wandering around is not the way to go!"
If it weren't for the fact that many fierce beasts had fled far away for unknown reasons, his wandering behavior would undoubtedly be looking for death! Even now, in just half an hour, he had encountered no less than ten sneak attacks.
Fortunately, most of the sneak attacks on him are small creatures with no intelligence, as long as you are careful, it is not a big deal.
But the wider his range of activities, the more powerful the creatures he encountered.
Mu Gou didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't encounter some fierce beasts next!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"Forget it, let's look for another half an hour!"
・・・・・・
Half an hour later, Mu Gou flew down on the trunk of a large tree, his hands tightly clutching a hanging branch, and looking at a huge shell-shaped stone on the ground.
This stone is a special beast in the wild jungle, with a shell-shaped shell growing on its back, and layers of earthy yellow mud on the surface, allowing them to hide well in the earth. These creatures will shrink into their shells when they fall asleep, and unless they are mortally threatened, they won't wake up in the wind or rain.
But when it is sober, it is very irritable, even if it encounters a beast that is several times larger than it, it dares to open its fangs.
Experienced hunters call it a ferocious one.
Mu Gou couldn't imagine that his luck was so bad, and he would encounter a waking embarrassment, and he was quite depressed in his heart.
"There is a fierce beast here, then if you cross this area, you must encounter many fierce beasts!" Mu Gou gave up the idea of continuing to search.
Half an hour later, the embarrassment finally slowly receded.
Mu Gou fell from the tree and disappeared here.
Shortly after he left, a figure appeared like a ghost. In the dense bushes not far away, the fierce monster sensed the movement and rushed out of the cave, but before it could see what the other party was, it saw several tiny maggots landing on its back.
Sensing the danger, the fierce man quickly shrank his softer head and body into the shell.
But it didn't take long for the fierce to sense a sharp pain.
The bugs actually cut several small holes in its hard back shell and burrowed into its body.
Woo woo~ The fierce scream sounded, and a puddle of turbid yellow liquid overflowed from its mouth, and after a while, a few insects broke through its head and flew straight towards the man.
Chatter!
A strange laugh erupted from the man's body. As soon as the yin wind blew, only the shriveled and fierce corpse remained.
・・・・・・
Mu Gou broke through a dense jungle, only to feel that the field of vision in front of him was wide, but he appeared on a small path.
There are many villages nearby, and the hunters will leave trails around the villages as they go out hunting.
This made Mu Gou breathe a sigh of relief.
Since there is a trail, it means that there is at least one village nearby. As for which village, Mu Gou didn't know.
He went out hunting very little, and he didn't have the opportunity to deal with people from other villages, so he naturally didn't know which village's territory it was.
It was early in the morning.
The sky was slightly bright.
Mu Gou woke up from his contemplation, raised his head, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he saw an old face facing him, and the distance between the two sides was only half a finger.
Mu Gou could see the wrinkles on the other cheeks, like the bark of a dying tree, falling lifelessly. He even suspected that if he accidentally pulled the other party, he was afraid that he would be able to pull out a human skin.
"You're a human or a ghost!" Mu Gou forced himself to calm down and said loudly.
The man did not answer, but gave Mu Gou a small piece of incense.
The incense candle is only half the length of a thumb, but the core of the candle is black wood, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Of course the old man is a man!" the old man squirmed, and his voice was very hoarse, like the cry of a night crow.
Mu Gou's hair stood on end, and he didn't want to stay long, so he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, where is there a village nearby?"
The old man pointed to the back!
Mu Gou nodded, wanting to return the incense candle to the old man, but heard the old man say: "This is your life-saving thing! If you don't take it with you, it only takes a day, and your whole body will suppurate and become a pool of blood!"
"What do you mean!" Mu Gou frowned and said.
"You'll know in half a day!" the old man lowered his eyelids and walked slowly in the other direction.
Mu Gou wanted to ask, but when he thought of the old man's terrifying face, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. His intuition told him that this old man was definitely not a kind person.
As for the incense candle -
Mu Gou thought about it and put it away. Whether it's true or false will naturally be known after half a day!
