Chapter Forty-Seven: Summoning the Beast
Xuan Qing woke up from the dream, and he didn't know what time it was, so he just looked around.
Everyone had been on the road for a day, and they were all exhausted at this time, and they were all asleep at this time, and Xuan Qing saw that the sky was slightly shining. But there was no shadow of Koyanagi's group.
He was startled, then he stood up and looked at the sleeping figures of the people.
After reading it, more than 20 people really didn't see the shadow of Xiaoliu and the others, but the people in the third group were sleeping soundly, Xuanqing squatted down and shook the patriarch of the third group, Wu Fatzi.
Wu Fat Man slept very hard, Xuan Qing shook a few times and didn't wake up, but he still pinched his nose before he opened his eyes.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Fat Wu sat up in shock, and took out a long knife to make a state of alertness, "Fierce beast!
Xuan Qing smiled bitterly and gently pressed his long knife.
"There are no fierce beasts, let me ask you if you have seen Koyanagi and them?"
Fat Wu touched the back of his head, as if he remembered something, and suddenly slapped his thigh with a snap, and shouted:
"Koyanagi!"
Then he jumped up, with an agility that was completely incompatible with the fat body, and muttered, "What about Xiaoyanagi? I haven't seen them, I've been waiting for them to come and call me to change shifts?"
Xuan Qing's eyebrows couldn't help but twist together, and after Wu Fatzi's two loud voices, the rest of the people were also woken up by him.
Rubbing their sleep one by one, they looked over here:
"What's wrong?"
After a long time, Wu Fatzi said slowly: "Xiaoliu, they are gone!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, and the rest of the people suddenly lost their sleepiness, and sat up from the ground one by one and walked towards them.
Yun Qingshui was also awakened and came over to ask about the situation.
"Last night, I waited for Koyanagi and them to come and call me for a change of guard, but they never came, I was too sleepy and went to sleep......"
Wu Fatzi said with remorse.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of depression spread rapidly around them. Xiaoyanagi and the others did not come back, and if they stayed outside this wind barrier for the night, they would probably ...... "No!"
Xuan Qing shook his head firmly, vetoing his ominous premonition. "Go, follow me. “
After that, he led everyone to search for the surrounding area, and after walking for about half a mile, the ominous premonition was finally confirmed.
On the ground, the bodies of two people were found.
One of them had his head gone, and the other had his legs amputated, in a brutal manner.
Xuan Qingzun leaned down and examined the corpse, there were no traces of gnawing on his body, he should have encountered a foreign race.
"Foreign?"
The crowd was puzzled.
At this time, Yun Qingshui slowly explained: "This Huang Zuling is not simply infested by fierce beasts, but also encounters some masters of foreign races who will rob here. It's never been peaceful. ”
As soon as these words came out, people who were already very scared were even more uneasy in their hearts.
Xuan Qing glanced at the corpse on the ground, and only now did he find the body of a person, if something happened to Xiao Yanagi, it should be near here.
Immediately led everyone and continued to search, and ten zhang away, another headless corpse was found, the blood was still fresh, and obviously it did not coagulate for long. It should have been attacked and not long after.
"Koyanagi!"
Xuan Qing looked around and exhaled eagerly.
Seeing Xuan Qing shouting like this, everyone also shouted. Everyone searched for a while, but after all, they did not see the shadows of the rest of the people, and when they were suspicious, the bushes not far away made a sound of rustling.
A moment later, a figure limped forward.
The man had a bloody face and a wound on his leg, and when he heard the shouts of the crowd, he trembled and walked towards the crowd.
The person got closer and closer, and finally saw the person's appearance clearly, it was Koyanagi.
Xuan Qing greeted him and was about to ask what was going on, but he saw Xiao Yanagi speak:
"Yes...... Men in Black......"
Men in Black?
Xuan Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, only the people of the ghost clan have a hobby of wearing black clothes in groups, is it difficult to understand?
Koyanagi began to sob, recalling like a nightmare:
"We rushed back to change shifts, but we encountered three men in black, they didn't say a word, they came up and killed, we are not their opponents. Did the three people be killed, they only plundered the storage bags, I walked slowly, and when I saw that they were killed, I hurriedly hid in the bushes. This is how we will not die......"
When Koyanagi spoke, his voice trembled.
"No, there are two more people......
Xuan Qing asked, there are six of them in a group, and there should be two more people.
Xiaoyanagi stopped crying and pointed to the bushes behind him.
Xuan Qing rushed out, hurriedly walked towards the grass, wiped the mess and saw that there were indeed two people hidden inside, the two people curled up in a strange posture, their heads buried deep in their chests, motionless, the surrounding grass was picked up, and they still didn't understand.
Xuan Qing shouted for a long time before one of them let out a muffled sound and stood up tremblingly.
Seeing the man get up, Xuan Qing helped him out of the grass and dragged him out of the bushes, but when he pulled another person, he saw that the man was motionless, as if he was petrified.
"Hey, brother, it's okay. ”
Xuan Qing urged, and pressed his hand on the man's arm, and was about to exert force, but he felt a dead coldness. The man's fingers, back, and even his whole body were cold, the kind of ice wolf of a dead man.
Xuan Qing's heart twitched, and he forcibly pulled the man out of the grass.
The man was lifted by Xuan Qing with one hand, curled up on the ground and rolled over, and finally fell to the side. From beginning to end, the man was curled up, holding his head in his hands, looking very scared, and the righteous man curled up in a ball.
"Dead, right?" a man next to him reminded.
Xuan Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand to test his snort, and then slowly retracted his hand, his face solemn.
It's dead.
Someone in the crowd sighed, and the person who came out of the grass just now settled down at this time, looked at the corpse of the reckoning office, and said lightly for a long time:
"He's been using Qigong for too long, so he ......"
This is a method of concealing one's breath, which is generally used when encountering an enemy situation, and it is difficult for the enemy to find your position according to your breath.
However, the disadvantage of it is that it can't last too long, and if it is too long, the valve will close completely and it will die.
The reason why this person held his breath for so long was mostly out of fear of the man in black. The poor man, at the very end of his life, was still trembling.
"It was fear that took his life. ”
In the crowd, I don't know who said.
Xuan Qing's heart darkened, and his eyes looked at Yun Qingshui.
If a disciple of the Phantom Sound Workshop dies or has an accident, the owner of the workshop naturally has to come forward to deal with it.
Yun Qingshui glanced at the corpse on the ground again, and sighed slightly:
"Bury the body and dispose of it when we return to the sect. ”
The crowd immediately buried the corpses on the spot, and everyone's heart was painful. Before Huang Zuling arrived, something like this happened, who knows if the next person to die will be himself.
When everything is taken care of, the sun will come out high.
Xuan Qing still led everyone all the way forward, and after this incident, everyone was united all the time, regardless of their cultivation. After all, it's only safe to be together.
After walking for half a day, it was not slow to walk, and it was 200 miles all the way, and at noon everyone was sleepy and hungry, and they couldn't walk anymore, so they stopped.
Xuanqing subconsciously looked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu spread his hands with a very helpless expression.
There was nothing left from yesterday's food, and now eating has become a problem.
There is not enough food, and everyone's physical exertion is very serious, and it is even more impossible to rush to Huangzuling as soon as possible.
"Everybody rests in place. ”
Xuan Qing shouted, and the rest of the people softened and sat on the ground one by one, looking helplessly at the sky.
The hot and humid breath was so hot that people couldn't breathe, Xuanqing looked around, wanting to see if he could find some wild vegetables and mushrooms, and walked out for more than a dozen chapters, only digging back one or three or five mushrooms, plus a small handful of wild vegetables.
"Too little. ”
When Xiao Wu saw the wild vegetables and mushrooms in Xuanqing's hands, he couldn't help but say. If there were only one or two people, these things could barely get results, but now there are more than twenty people, and the tooth sacrifice is not enough.
Xuan Qing's brows couldn't help but condense, he had looked for everything nearby, this was the only thing he could eat.
He glanced at the crowd again, all listless, apparently starving to the point of collapse.
Xuan Qing sat down, Xiao Wu also sat beside him, and muttered without a word:
"I wish for a dead beast falling from the sky, I'm so hungry. ”
Hearing Xiao Wu's whimsical nagging, Xuan Qing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the fierce beast ......
There has never been a shortage of fierce beasts in this Huang Zuling. He gritted his teeth, and his eyebrows suddenly crossed:
"It seems that I can only fight to the death......"
Xuan Qing decisively took out a piece of spice from the storage bag, and that piece of spice was a condensing incense, which Yun Qingshui gave him in the secret room. He didn't run out at the time, and now he can come in handy.
"What is this?"
"Incense. Xuan Qing said lightly, "It is recorded in ancient books that the incense of condensation has a natural fishy sweetness, which can calm the nerves at ordinary times, and ignite it when it is critical, saying that it can attract fierce beasts." ”
Xiao Wu was surprised: take the initiative to attract fierce beasts!
This is not trivial, but seeing Xuanqing holding the flint and clicking sparks, Xiao Wu held it down and said nervously:
"Master, this is not a trivial matter after all, can you at least discuss it with everyone?"
Xuan Qing felt that it made sense, and then stood up and came to everyone.
He first asked Yun Qingshui.
"Senior, it is said that this contemplative incense can attract strange beasts......"
As soon as he heard Xuan Qing say this, Yun Qingshui's expression immediately changed greatly, "Are you trying to ?......?"
Xuan Qing nodded firmly.
"There is no food at the moment, everyone will last for three days at most, but after three days, our physical strength and true qi will be exhausted, even if summoning the beast will be a tragic death, it is better to take advantage of the strength that everyone still has now, and fight hard. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
