Chapter 3: The Cursed Ghost Face
Snowstorm.
A cloudy sky.
The outline of the mountains of the lake undulates in the distance.
Yan Jing, who had just left the military plane, stepped on the air, carrying Yu Zhen and the shrunken tiger firefly, shuttling over the mountains and forests.
The psionic barrier unfurls, keeping out the wind and snow.
"Our direction is correct, and the coordinate point given by Miao Yingshi is not far ahead!"
Yu Zhen put her arm around Yan Jing's waist and picked up the satellite locator with her free hand, and the screen represented their red lines moving between the graticules.
Roar~
The tiger firefly squatting on Yan Jing's shoulder suddenly roared and jumped out.
In the blink of an eye, he turned back into the appearance of an alien insect, unfurled two pairs of insect wings behind him, looked back at Yan Jing, and immediately dived straight down.
Tiger Fireflies, which possess the [Swarm] trait, can easily sense other alien insects in the surrounding area, and the one cultivated by Miao Yingshi had acted with them earlier, so he remembered it very clearly.
About five minutes later, the tiger firefly began to land.
With his feet on the thick snow, Yan Jing looked up at the coniferous pine bent by the snow, half-narrowed his eyes, and his perception unfolded.
The location of Miao Yingshi was not found.
At this point, several hours have passed since the message was received.
Even if Miao Yingshi had stayed here, his traces had long been covered by wind and snow.
The tiger firefly on the side stepped forward, two paws supporting the trunk of the tree, and a tentacle extending from the back of the neck, piercing somewhere between the branches.
After a while, a cloud of fluorescent green light gradually appeared in front of Yan Jing's eyes.
It was the insect that Miao Yingshi cultivated that could provide vitality energy, and after the supply of the tiger firefly, it had returned to its normal state, and when it woke up, it was aware of Yan Jing's existence, and immediately let out an anxious buzz.
Yan Jing couldn't communicate with it, so he could only ask Hu Ying to act as a translator, and learned that Miao Yingshi deliberately left it here, so that he would not be discovered by the pursuers while guiding Yan Jing in the direction.
"Enemy, strong, be careful!"
This is the last message from the insect, and to some extent, it is also Miao Yingshi's reminder.
"Yan Jing, come and see."
After landing on the ground, Yu Zhen, who was surveying the surroundings, suddenly spoke.
At this time, she was crouching next to the coniferous pine.
The palm of his right hand is facing the snow in front of him, and the bracelet with a delicate pattern on his wrist spreads out the circle, and the palm of his hand rotates.
Yan Jing took two steps forward and found that Yu Zhen had cleared some of the snow, and the situation below was revealed in front of the two of them.
It was a series of blackened footprints, not only the snow, but even the dead grass on the ground showed a terrifying state of life.
You don't have to think about it to know that this is by no means the traces left by Miao Yingshi, but the footprints of those who chase and kill.
"Judging by the shape and size of these footprints, the tracker should be a monster about three meters tall, walking upright, releasing some kind of obscure energy with every move."
took out his mobile phone to take a photo, Yu Zhen said in a deep voice.
"Come with me, now is not the time to track the enemy, as long as you get Miao Yingshi back, he has fought with those guys, and he knows better."
Patting Yu Zhen on the shoulder, Yan Jing motioned for her to follow.
Rather than looking for clues that have been covered in wind and snow here, finding Miao Yingshi first is the key.
Just like the relationship between Yan Jing and Hu Ying, Miao Yingshi also has a blood contract connection with this alien insect, as long as they are not too far apart, they all have telepathy with each other.
…
The insect led the way, and the two rode tiger fireflies to follow.
It wasn't until they reached a steep mountain wall that the insects stopped flying.
"He's up the mountain?"
Yu Zhen looked around, didn't notice the breath of the living, and couldn't help asking.
"No, he's around here, back off."
Knowing the general situation through Hu Ying's translation, Yan Jing pulled Yu Zhen back a few steps.
The insect lay on its stomach among the rocks, its wings rubbing together to make a high-pitched buzzing sound, and the fluorescent green light on its abdomen flickered on and off.
After a few seconds, the steep mountain wall began to tremble violently, and a large number of rocks collapsed and fell.
Yan Jing controlled the two boulders of the Shuofeng Sword and looked ahead.
More than a dozen thick vines poked out from the cracks in the mountain wall and rushed straight in front of Yan Jing, Yu Zhen subconsciously stood on his side to take precautions, but was stopped by him raising his hand.
The insects that had been close to the mountain wall flew back, flying up and down in front of the vines.
Soon the vines shrank back into the inner part of the mountain wall, and a flower bone was lifted out of the mountain and placed smoothly to the ground.
When Yan Jing approached, the flower bones gradually bloomed.
A mixture of rancid stench and a strong smell of blood wafted through the wind and snow.
In the center of the flower bones lay the seriously injured and unconscious Miao Yingshi, and there were several vines emitting light green aura inserted throughout his body, obviously sending him life energy, in this way to extend his life.
stepped forward to check his physical condition, and Yan Jing's brows couldn't help but tighten.
Trauma to the face, chest, and even the back of the cristae is secondary.
The extensive decay of Miao Yingshi's right arm and the obscure aura that is constantly being released in his body are the real troubles.
"No wonder you have to bury yourself in the mountain, otherwise it is impossible to escape tracking in this state, what kind of organization can actually hurt him to such an extent?"
Although Yu Zhen and Miao Yingshi were not familiar with each other, she had also seen the latter's state of action in the insect hive before, coupled with the description of the inheritor of the mountain and sea relics in the Special Affairs Bureau, the group of people who could force him to such a desperate situation was by no means idle!
At this time, Yan Jing didn't have the heart to think about this.
"Pay attention to the surroundings, he is in this state now, he must be dealt with urgently, otherwise he will die immediately the moment he gets out of these vines!"
Instructed Yu Zhen, Yan Jing took a few steps forward, raised his hand, and with a move, Chongming Yuyu took his hand and draped it directly on Miao Yingshi.
With a clear phoenix roar, a large cloud of filthy energy was immediately discharged from Miao Yingshi's body.
Immediately, he took out the high-level healing item he had just obtained and the healing medicine that he had purchased from the special page of the Torch Bazaar for hundreds of fires on the way here.
The brass box was suspended in front of Miao Yingshi's chest, and scalpels, scissors, and needles and threads appeared one after another, and an operation without a chief surgeon was opened in the deep mountains.
The bright silver scalpel approached Miao Yingshi's rotten and broken wound, removing the flesh that had been severely eroded by the dark energy, and the scissors shuttled back and forth to the side, piercing the needle and thread into the cracked wound, suturing it at great speed.
Seeing that the deteriorating injuries were contained, Yan Jing picked up the medicinal powder and was about to pour it for temporary treatment.
But at the moment of his action, his gaze suddenly froze, and his face changed suddenly.
…
The wound on Miao Yingshi's body, which had just been sutured, suddenly collapsed.
The wound, which was stable a second ago, worsened in just a few seconds, and the dark red flesh somehow twisted into a smiling human face, screaming!
The sudden change made Yan Jing quite unexpected.
You must know that since obtaining Chongming Yuyu, the [Fengming] special effect has almost been tried and tested, and it has indeed dispelled a considerable amount of the obscure energy accumulated in Miao Yingshi's body before.
Yan Jing never thought that there was still Dong XZ inside.
The information that Miao Yingshi left through the insect subconsciously appeared in his mind, which specifically mentioned the fierceness of the enemy this time, and at this time, Yan Jing could be regarded as seeing their vicious methods.
"Oops, it's not a poison injury, it's that the curse injury is too severe and Miao Yingshi himself has lost the defense mechanism to deal with the curse, it must be broken as soon as possible, otherwise your treatment will not have any effect."
Yu Zhen quickly realized the problem and hurriedly reminded.
In fact, at the same time as she spoke, black and white dragon and tiger qi had already poured into the wound, like several sharp knives and forks, piercing the cursed grimace that covered the entire wound, shattering it and trying to pull it out.
It had to be said that Dragon Tiger Qi was particularly effective in dealing with this kind of curse, but Yan Jing couldn't be at ease right now.
Because just as the dragon and tiger qi peeled the cursed grimace from the wound, the bottom of it was directly connected with Miao Yingshi's bloodline meridians, and those colorful yin energy entangled the bloodline meridians.
Yan Jing was sure that if he was ruthless, pulling out the curse would inevitably cause Miao Yingshi to suffer a heavy blow.
"It's useless! It's useless! It's useless! ”
"I didn't expect there to be a helper, I found you!"
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no way to go to hell!"
The cursed grimace that could only emit some lake monster screams was stimulated by the energy, not only did not fall into a state of weakness, but became more and more restless, and the mouth made of flesh and blood cursing was even more incessant.
What's even more troublesome is that this curse seems to have a tracking function after it is activated, directly exposing the locations of Yan Jing and the others.
"There are experts in the Secret Service Bureau, I suggest going back first, if you want to disarm this kind of yin poison spell, brute force alone is likely to cause a chain reaction, which will cause secondary damage to Miao Yingshi."
"I understand, let's go back first."
The [Watch] barrier of the Holy Curse Seal enveloped Miao Yingshi inside, shielding him from the erosion of the wind and snow outside, while enhancing his recovery ability and temporarily delaying the outbreak of the curse.
Although I really wanted to be able to harm Miao Yingshi like this for a while, the current situation obviously did not allow Yan Jing to be willful.
No matter what, we have to get Miao Yingshi back first.
The barrier formed by [Watch] was enough to shield the other party's perception, and Yan Jing was not afraid of the other party's tail chasing and killing, so he took Miao Yingshi directly into the air and went straight to the military plane docked on the periphery of the mountain range.
There is no concealment along the way.
Return from the Kunlun Mountains to the nearest branch of the Special Affairs Bureau.
Along the way, Yan Jing carefully guarded, but he never waited for the group of transcendents who came to attack Miao Yingshi.
The cursed ghost screamed happily, but there was no actual action.
…
I don't know if it was because the other party sensed Yan Jing's strength and chose to lie dormant temporarily, or if they took another action.
Since Yu Zhen had already contacted the Special Affairs Bureau on the way back.
The identities of her and Yan Jing, coupled with the fact that Miao Yingshi is likely to know the key clues of this incident.
The Special Affairs Bureau also attached great importance to it and organized a medical team to conduct a consultation as soon as possible.
As soon as Miao Yingshi landed, he was treated.
Five o'clock in the morning.
The branch of the Special Affairs Bureau in the original Tibetan region, outside the clinic room.
Yan Jing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the wind and rain outside, the thunder flickering among the dark clouds, and his expression was calm.
It was still snowy when they arrived, and as soon as they returned from the Kunlun Mountains, the weather suddenly changed.
The natural disasters caused by the disorder of the four seasons were vividly displayed in front of Yan Jing.
At the same time, a hoarse cry and muffled thunder reached Yan Jing's ears, causing him to return his attention.
The floor-to-ceiling windows not only reflect the outside of the window, but also reflect the others in the hall.
At this time, it was not only Yan Jing and Yu Zhen who were waiting for the results here, but also many family members, looking at their status, it was obvious that the situation of their respective families was not good, and even a few old people had fainted and were helped aside by the nurse to check.
Needless to say, these people must be the families of the Secret Service team who suffered heavy casualties not long ago.
The scene in front of him gave Yan Jing a new understanding of the ruthlessness of the enemy this time, and he couldn't help but start adjusting his state.
Since becoming the Apostle of the Remnant, Yan Jing has experienced a lot of battles, and the intensity is not low.
This time, however, the situation was different.
Fighting other transcendent beings in this world was something Yan Jing had never experienced before, let alone this underground force that had assembled a group of apostles with some evil goal.
Unlike those insects or monsters who only know how to destroy and slaughter.
These people are well aware of human weaknesses and how they can pose a threat to a region large enough to their own benefit.
Their methods are endless, and they are extremely vicious.
Fighting these people, Yan Jing had to be prepared in advance, otherwise, just like the accident that happened when he was dealing with Miao Yingshi's wound not long ago, the slightest carelessness could lead to bad consequences.
"Yan Jing, the results are out!"
Yu Zhen walked out of the consultation room quickly and said in a continuous voice,
"There is more than one kind of curse on Miao Yingshi's body, and the ghost face comes from the symbiotic curse, which will only be activated after the curse of symbiosis with it is removed, and it will devour healing energy to strengthen itself, which will not only destroy all the healing received by the cursed, but also deepen his injuries. Fortunately, you used props to stabilize Miao Yingshi's situation, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
"Can it be cured?"
Recalling the scene in his mind, Yan Jing pursed his lips and asked.
"Yes, there are props here for this kind of curse, but it will take a little time."
In order to be able to figure out what was going on in the Kunlun Mountains, the Special Affairs Bureau also opened up this time, and took the initiative to rescue Miao Yingshi without Yan Jing's special reminder.
Yan Jing and Yu Zhen are not experts in this area, and they can only wait outside for now.
"The enemy we faced this time was even more tricky than we imagined."
After a short silence, Yu Zhen looked at the family group not far away, and said in a deep voice,
"When I was in there just now, I learned about the casualties in the last operation, and the transcendents alone lost more than ten of them, and the ordinary soldiers were nearly a hundred. The most troublesome thing is that there are no clues about this underground force within the Secret Service Bureau! ”
"No clues?"
Yan Jing turned around and asked in surprise.
"That's right, this group of people seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and the abilities they use, the way the members of the organization act, and the means they use are not matched in our database."
Yu Zhen, who had just learned the news, was also unacceptable, and paused before saying,
"This group of people seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and the organization they belong to is tighter than expected, and now it is certain that this group of people is by no means a temporary alliance, but more like a secret organization such as the Mozhu Society!"
With the intelligence network of the Special Affairs Bureau, this kind of underground force that gathers a large number of transcendental people, it is just that they have not seen it before and don't know it, but now they have fought and lost so many team members, and they still don't know anything.
It's a strange situation.
