Chapter 95: Death Raven Forest, Scarlet Scarecrow
[Oh, what a big meat forest, if you see so much food in the famine season, it will definitely make people feel a sense of security. 】
These trees in the forest, Lin Baici didn't know.
They were low, stout, and twisted, and the branches were like the bony arms of an old man with all sorts of twists, and like the claws of the undead, in a strange prayer ceremony.
There are not many leaves on the tree, and most of them are blood-red, and it seems that you can catch blood water if you squeeze it hard.
But the most frightening thing is that on the branches of each tree, a carcass of 'game' is hung with hemp rope.
These corpses include sheep, deer, cattle, wolves, tigers and leopards, but whether they eat grass or meat, they are all skinned at this time, their stomachs are open, their internal organs are cleaned, and some of them have their heads chopped off.
If you don't deal with these animals often, you won't be able to recognize them at all, because after skinning, their appearance has changed a lot.
Tick! Tick!
Occasionally, blood dripped from the corpse and hit the ground, solidifying a dark black that made people's hearts rise.
In the air, there was a fishy smell wafting through the air.
Everyone felt creepy, and many girls covered their mouths, afraid of screaming out and causing trouble.
"Xiaobai!"
Hua Yueyu leaned closer to Lin Baici.
The foliage of this forest is not luxuriant enough, but there is so much game, dense, and it also blocks a lot of sunlight, so it makes the forest look dim, and the shadows cast by these corpses on the ground make it look like the corpses are dancing their teeth and claws, screaming and screaming, making this place full of horror and gloomy atmosphere.
After Lin Baici swept over the carcasses of the game that were being dried, he looked to the right hand.
There was a group of people, thirty or so, all tired, agitated, and fearful.
The man in the lead, in his forties, with a seven-point head, a Chinese face, was wearing a black suit, but his shirt was taken off, and he was wearing only a white shirt.
The white shirt was stained with blood, as if there were bird droppings, anyway, from such a distance, Lin Baici could smell the stench wafting from them.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
[A man who kills decisively, if he does not fall into this divine ruin, his life will be smooth sailing, and he will enjoy the happiness of being a winner. 】
[No, this kind of person enters the Divine Ruins, maybe he will reach a higher achievement, after all, life is no longer challenging for him in reality. 】
[The end of ordinary people's hard work for a lifetime, they stepped on it as soon as they were born. 】
Lin Baici carefully observed the seven-point head, and the God of Food only commented on him, indicating that he was a worthy object, but Lin Baici saw a 'familiar' person in the crowd.
It was the girl who was in charge of pressing the button in the elevator when he took the elevator to the underground shooting range.
Her blue one-step skirt uniform was covered in stains, mostly bird droppings, probably because this skirt was too difficult to move, so the right side of the skirt had been torn open.
If you take a single step, you can see the thighs.
Her flesh-colored stockings were covered with silk marks and holes, a trail of blood on her left leg, and only the one on her left foot was left in her high heels.
Lin Baici remembered that this elevator girl was very beautiful and her etiquette was very standardized, but at this time, her whole spirit seemed to be drained, and only fear remained.
She stooped her head and stood there with her shoulders curled up like a frightened rabbit.
[A woman who is obsessed with collecting brand-name bags, can succeed in courtship with a LV bag, if one doesn't work, then two! ] 】
[If it's three, you can choose any position when playing poker!] 】
"I'll give you one last chance, and if the game continues to be damaged or lost, I'll chop you up and make a dish for the king."
The chief waiter scolded.
"Not this time!"
Qifen carried a bronze Changge on his head, gritted his teeth and swore an oath.
"Humph!"
The head of the chamberlain snorted coldly, looked at Lin Baici and these people, and instructed Qifen head: "What to do, you teach them, in short, don't make any mistakes!" ”
"Give them some weapons!"
After speaking, the chief of the chamberlain turned to leave.
Some of the armorers threw the bronze changge, crossbows, bows and arrows in their hands on the ground.
As soon as it left, the oppressive atmosphere on the scene immediately eased a lot.
"What's going on?"
Guo Zheng beckoned to Qifentou: "Come and talk about it!" ”
Qifen held the spear in his head, examining these people, as for Guo Zheng, he didn't care, he didn't like this guy's attitude.
"Damn, ignore me? You're arrogant! ”
Guo Zheng is happy, I can't clean up Lin Baici, and I can't clean you up? He rolled up his sleeves on his arm, ready to give the seven-point head a dismount first.
"Lin Shen, this is Mr. Wang Mingfu Wang, the boss of Palm Harbor Resort."
Gu Rongjie stood beside Lin Baici and introduced him.
Although she is still very unhappy, she has now adjusted her mentality, and is ready to serve Lin Baici with the same strength as a secretary who usually waits for her, so that he must feel that he can be his right-hand man, and then give himself a divine grace.
No matter how bad it is, it also makes Lin Bai say goodbye and use himself as cannon fodder.
"In the ruins, nothing is useless!"
Guo Zheng scoffed.
"If you continue to do this, you'll die!"
Wang Mingfu glanced at Guo Zheng, sneered casually, didn't take it seriously, and looked at Lin Baici: "Mr. Gu, this is ......"
What can make Gu Rongjie treat it so cautiously should not be a small person.
Gu Rongjie didn't answer, but looked at Lin Baici with inquiring eyes, the meaning was self-evident, without Lin Baici's instructions, she would not reveal Lin Baici's identity as a god hunter.
"What's going on with this rule-polluting scene?"
Lin Baici picked up a crossbow: "Let's pick up weapons."
Hua Yueyu first took a bow and pulled the cowhide bowstring, but found that it couldn't be pulled, so it was replaced by a bronze Changge.
Everyone else is picking weapons, too.
"You see the hanging meat, right? Every once in a while, a large flock of crows will come to eat them, and our mission is to keep them! ”
Turning back, he commanded his companions: "Go and defend yourself, and I'll take them there!" ”
"Mr. Wang, be careful!"
"Mr. Wang, come back quickly!"
"That guy scolded you, should we beat him up?"
Those people under Wang Mingfu are very grouped and rely on him.
"No, the battle of wills is boring!"
Wang Mingfu waved his hand and beckoned Lin Baici and the others: "Let's go, those crows may be coming soon!" ”
Everyone followed Wang Mingfu and headed towards ten o'clock.
"You've been here for a long time, haven't you? Have you found a way to keep those crows away? ”
Lin Baici looked around: "How many times have the crows attacked?" How long is each session? ”
"Smoke it, stab it with a spear, and you can make a scarecrow to trick and drive away crows."
Wang Mingfu did not hide it.
"Scarecrow? I did it in my hometown. ”
Zhou Ya looked overjoyed, she felt that she could finally come in handy.
"Huh!"
Wang Mingfu smiled.
Hua Yueyu's little brows furrowed, is this laughter a little yin and yang?
Everyone walked for about 100 meters, and Wang Mingfu stopped.
"This is the meat forest you are responsible for!"
Wang Mingfu took a deep breath with a cold expression: "Don't expect us to help you, you are responsible for your own life and death!" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but glance at Lin Bai.
Du Xin pursed the corners of his lips, and said in his heart, Mr. Wang, your road is narrow.
We have a total of three god hunters here, and there is also a powerful party like Lin Baici, can we use your help?
It's you, don't cry and shout for help later.
Huh!
If only I were a hunter.
Du Xin was depressed, she knew that Lin Baici didn't look down on her, not because of her appearance, but because her life style was too unreserved.
After all, even Du Xin herself knows that if she wants to get married in the future, she has to find those more stupid and cowardly honest people to take over, otherwise this pre-marital life will be shaken out, and there is a chance that she will be abused by her husband.
Nima!
I knew that I would enter the ruins, I used to be a good girl, so that my worth would be high.
"This is unguarded, can't you run?"
Hua Yueyu looked around, but could not see the armor.
"You can't run, but you can try!"
Wang Mingfu sneered.
"Can you make that clear?"
Xia Hongyao was not happy with Wang Mingfu's attitude.
Wang Mingfu actually doesn't want to say, do these people care about his business? However, he thought that if they couldn't hold this meat forest, the dead eunuch might be angry with him, so he explained.
"Some of our people ran away, but when the crows came, they took a few people who ran away in their mouths, and threw them directly from the air and broke them into meatloaf, and a few of them were caught by the armor soldiers, and in front of us, they disemboweled those unlucky people, peeled them and cramped, made them into scarecrows, and hung them in wooden racks and inserted them in the woods."
Wang Mingfu shuddered when he thought of those two pictures now.
Everyone looked at each other.
Wang Mingfu took out his watch from his pocket, and every time the second hand moved forward, it represented that death was one step forward.
"In about ten minutes, the crows are coming, so do what you want."
Wang Mingfu trotted back, and he still had to command the battle.
Everyone looked at Lin Baici and waited for him to give orders.
"Spread out, go check the surroundings, if you find anything, report it immediately!"
After Lin Baici finished speaking, when he saw Du Xin and Gu Rongjie wanting to come over again, he immediately stopped: "You go to the left, Lu Yingxi, you take a few people and go to the front." ”
"Zhou Ya, let's go!"
Du Xin pulled Zhou Ya: "Don't be bored, Lin Shen will definitely not take care of you!" ”
Lin Baici walked to the right, and the carcasses of the game hanging from the trees cast shadows one by one, making the ground mottled and like scars.
"No bodies!"
Xia Hongyao reasoned: "Judging from the embarrassed condition of Mr. Wang, there will be no dead people, so where did the corpse go?" ”
"Forest God! Forest God! ”
Gu Rongjie suddenly screamed, her voice anxious and panicked.
Lin Baici immediately strode wildly, Xia Hongyao easily followed beside her, but Hua Yueyu was directly thrown away, with her physique, she couldn't keep up with the two of them at all.
"Lin Shen, look at it!"
Gu Rongjie saw Lin Baici and immediately reported it.
In a woodland more than 20 meters away in front of everyone, there is a cross made of wood, about three meters high.
On each of these crosses was an unclothed corpse, which was fastened to the wrists and ankles with a foot-long wooden wedge.
"You're not asking where the body is?"
Lin Baici rubbed his nose: "It's not!" ”
When the others heard Gu Rongjie's shout, they also ran over, and when they saw this scene, they froze directly.
"That's too cruel, isn't it?"
Some girls were scared and cried because they thought they might end up like this.
"That eunuch is simply a cool official, he won't do any more torture like Ren Bi and Ling Chi later, right?"
Gu Rongjie suddenly felt that the car crack was not unacceptable, at least if she received this criminal law, she would die quickly, unlike the one in front of her, who would be tortured.
"It turns out that the meaning of a scarecrow is not to make it with straw, but to use a real person."
Zhou Ya's mouth was bitter, she felt that she would be a scarecrow and have a chance to perform, but she didn't expect the scarecrow to mean this.
"It wasn't the dead eunuch who did it!"
Lin Baici's face was solemn and he walked towards the scarecrows.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
"It's not it, who is that?"
Guo Zheng turned his brain: "Could it be that the monster did it?" But isn't the monster a crow? Or is the crow that Wang Mingfu said not the kind of bird we have seen, but a kind of 'crow man"? ”
Everyone looked at Lin Baici, waiting for his answer, Gu Rongjie had seen the darkness of society and the horror of human nature, and she was the first to react.
"This won't be Mr. Wang...... Uh, Wang Mingfu, they did it, right? ”
Gu Rongjie was frightened and had goosebumps.
Everyone was also taken aback by Gu Rongjie's reasoning.
"That Mr. Wang said that those who escaped would be disemboweled, skinned and cramped, but more than a dozen people here were not skinned!"
Lin Baici examines the body.
Their bodies were tattered, there was not a good skin, they were all like the marks of a sharp bird's beak, and they were covered in blood.
In each corpse, the eyeballs were eaten, only two holes remained, most of the stomachs were torn, and the intestines and internal organs flowed all over the ground, and then it was a mess, like a buffet that had been picked up and eaten by a flock of birds, and it was everywhere.
And the heads of these corpses, all pecked, inside is an empty skull, it seems, the brain should have been eaten.
"Probably not, how can people be so bad?"
After Zhou Ya finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Guo Zheng had killed someone in the underground wine cellar, and immediately shut up.
"Why did they do that?"
Xia Hongyao blurted out.
"In order to use them to attract crows and protect the game in the trees."
Lin Baici was confirmed.
"These corpses have a lot of wounds on their bodies, they should have suffered in the fight with the crows, because their combat effectiveness has decreased, and they are useless, so they have been made into scarecrows!"
There is something even more cruel, Lin Baici didn't say it.
Most of these corpses were women, short and thin, weak and deceitful at first glance, and had no combat effectiveness, so they were naturally the first to be sacrificed.
[Nature is like this, survival of the fittest, in the absence of legal and moral constraints, individual strength and wisdom have become the key force to determine the status! 】
[That Mr. Wang, decisive in killing, is a hero, although cruel, he did survive, and integrated a team under his command. 】
The actual situation is that when the crows attack, everyone is in a hurry, and they can't protect the game at all, so they can only watch the crows eat meat.
Until Wang Mingfu keenly discovered that after someone was pecked by them for attacking crows, the crows would swarm and attack the bleeding man.
Wang Mingfu immediately asked everyone to let the crows bleed, trying to lure the crows away, but it was useless, and then he decisively revised the plan, found a seriously injured person, smeared blood on his body, and made a scarecrow.
Then he succeeded, and the nearby crows were all attracted to him.
After several crow attacks, Wang Mingfu used this tactic to save most of the game, but a lot of people died.
Wang Mingfu took advantage of the time when the chief waiter came to get meat, and admonished him, saying that there were too few people and he would not be able to protect the game.
So Lin Baici, who didn't need to make medicinal wine for the time being, was brought over.
Wang Mingfu didn't tell Lin Bai the truth, because he wanted them to see the horror of those crow monsters and experience the despair of losing game and being killed, otherwise they would have voted for 'scarecrow', and they would definitely not do it.
Because there are too many hypocritical and cowardly people in this world.
It's just that Wang Mingfu didn't expect that Lin Baici just saw those scarecrows and reasoned out their tactics.
"Xiao Linzi's reasoning must be right!"
Xia Hongyao is very confident in Lin Baici's IQ: "That Wang Mingfu is really bad!" ”
"Don't care if he's bad or not, what should we do?"
Guo Zheng glanced at Lin Baici, and then his eyes wandered around Gu Rongjie's people.
According to his thoughts, since Lin Baici found the right tactic to pass the test so quickly, he naturally had to use it, the question was who to choose as the scarecrow?
In other words, this Lin Baici is really strong, and he will definitely be able to get out of this divine ruin, the only trouble is that he is not ruthless enough, he always hesitates to kill someone.
These people at the scene, their brains are turning slowly, and they are still worried, or they are trying to find a way, and their brains are fast, and they have already hid in Lin Baici's side.
Because Guo Zheng did not hide his cruelty, some people could hear that this guy was going to be a scarecrow.
No one wants to be that unlucky ghost.
"Lin Shen, don't play stupid, hurry up and choose a scarecrow to come out!"
Guo Zheng urged, and his words directly made everyone's backs chill and their scalps numb.
Lin Baici kept a calm face and stared at Guo Zheng: "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”
"Okay, okay, you're awesome, you have the final say!"
Guo Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and secretly ruthless in his heart, I think you won't be able to handle those crows, whether you can be a scarecrow or not.
Once you do, everyone knows that you are a hypocrite.
Gu Rongjie wanted to propose that Lin Baici and Guo Zheng go to Wang Mingfu to pick a few scarecrows, and by the way, pull a batch of cannon fodder over, with their strength, borrow Wang Mingfu's ten guts, and they didn't dare to resist.
It's just that this idea is too black-hearted.
Once it comes out, it will definitely lower his image in Lin Baici's heart.
Gu Rong's face was distorted, and her hands were clutching her hair vigorously, if she had divine grace, how good it would be to be a god hunter.
Why look at the faces of these people?
[The man-eating crow is coming, get ready! ] 】
When Lin Baici heard this, he immediately picked a scarecrow whose corpse was still intact, pulled up the cross frame from the ground, and hurried back: "Go back quickly, the crow is here, ready to fight, Guo Zheng, you also resist a scarecrow and go back!" ”
Guo Zheng didn't refuse, anyway, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.
When they ran back to the woodland where the game was hanging, they saw a flock of crows flying from the southwest, and they were like a black cloud pressing down on the sun, and soon they flew over the woodland.
"This ...... It's also called a crow? ”
The blood on Du Xin's frightened face faded, whose crow looks like this!
These crows, all of them have dark fur, and they seem to be reflective, and the terrifying thing is that their heads are ridiculously large, like adult maned dogs.
Their beaks are curved and pointed, like an awl, and their wings are spread out to be more than a meter long.
[Man-eating crows, with a short temperament, like to eat primates the most, especially golden snub-nosed monkeys, their sharp beaks can easily peck at the braincase of monkeys and eat up the brains inside. 】
[Man-eating crows generally do not attack animals that exceed their body length, but they are extremely retaliatory, and once attacked, they will fight back in groups. 】
[Fear of fire and smoke!] 】
[Save, will not waste food, once the prey is caught, it will be eaten dry and wiped as much as possible, and before that, it will not go hunting again. 】
Call! Call! Call!
With the sound of breaking wind, the man-eating ravens rushed down like a dive bombardment, targeting the carcasses of the game hanging from the trees.
"Go and chop some branches and firewood and make some fires."
Lin Baici urged, quickly loaded the crossbow with arrows, and shot at the nearest man-eating crow.
Stop!
Crossbow bolts into the wings of a man-eating raven.
Phew! Phew!
The cries of these man-eating crows are very unpleasant, like an old lady pinching her hoarse voice, and they are very vindictive, just like the god of food said.
The man-eating crow that was attacked by Lin Baici turned around with a fluttering wing and pounced on him.
"Xiaolinzi!"
Xia Hongyao was holding a short knife, and was about to release his divine grace to kill this man-eating crow, when a flying stone suddenly shot at it, even if this man-eating crow was flying at high speed, the flying stone still hit its head accurately.
Bang!
The man-eating raven's head was shattered, a cloud of dark red blood burst open, and several feathers flew apart.
Let's go!
The man-eating raven falls to the ground.
Seeing this, the dozen or so man-eating crows nearby were not afraid, but gave up pecking at the game, and flew to Lin Baici.
The Red Clay Man fired, and its slings played with thieves, almost every second, and hit the man-eating crows.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Like snowflakes in winter, these man-eating crows fell to the ground one after another, without exception, all of them with their heads blooming.
"it!"
When Guo Zheng saw this scene, he was envious, Lin Baici's divine grace was so strong!
The key is that that thing is too good at hiding, and the position of the flying stone is different every time, which means that the sea of things knows how to change places when you shoot it, which is amazing.
Anyway, Guo Zheng's eyes widened, and he didn't find the thing that hit the flying stone.
"I'm awesome!"
Du Xin shouted, feeling that this level was simply a food delivery.
This man-eating crow looked quite terrifying, but when the others saw Lin Baici kill more than a dozen of them at once, their nervousness and worry immediately eased a lot.
Lin Bai is here, hope is there!
No problem!
Gu Rongjie felt that Wang Mingfu wanted to see his own jokes, it was too naïve, and he would let you see the strength of Lin Shen and surprise your eyeballs later.
