Chapter 493: What the Hell Is This?
The window was not deliberately closed, and the evening breeze blew in, but the smoke lingered above the tribute candle, gathering more and more thickly.
After just a dozen breaths, the smoke gathered into a gray shadow.
If you look closely, the shape of the shadow looks like a wooden sculpture on the table, but there are only seven or eight faces on it. The face in the middle even rolled its eyes and glared at the child's soul below.
Although the child soul is ignorant, he instinctively knows that it is not good, and gives up the incense to get back into the wooden ball.
The smoke shadow pounced down and swallowed it in one gulp.
Such a small and weak remnant soul is not even an appetizer for it, but it arouses its appetite.
Its mouth opened and closed, as if to say something to the caster. The sorcerer prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully, "The mark has been made, please go and enjoy the rich sacrifice!"
As soon as the smoke shadow heard it, it swirled around the room for half a circle, and disappeared into the air in the next second.
The caster straightened up and looked at the corresponding reduction of seven or eight faces on the wood carving.
......
He Lingchuan's sleep has always been good, even if he doesn't enter Panlong City, he can harvest a night of dark sweetness.
This ability to sleep when lying down and sleep anytime and anywhere makes Shi Er the envy of the family.
In the northern part of the Panlong Wasteland, several conflicts broke out one after another, large and small.
Baling and Xianyou coalition forces are constantly testing the border.
This is the sequelae of the Panlong Army's flight to capture the Xiqi Kingdom.
As a result, the Broken Knife Squad was transferred to the northern battlefield and fought six battles in more than 30 days.
Two of them were white-hot, and both sides were red-eyed, and almost escalated from a local conflict to a full-front war.
These two battles were particularly difficult, one of which was fought with fewer enemies, and the 300 Gale Army relied on the terrain and terrain to carry 2,000 opponents for two days and one night.
The entire broken knife squad narrowly escaped several times.
He Lingchuan relied on his immortal body, fought desperately, hung countless colors, and also served Wicker and Ah Luo as a shield.
Even so, the two new team members did not stay and unfortunately died in battle.
In the last day, even He Lingchuan couldn't survive, vomited the last mouthful of residual blood, and was forced to go offline.
Fortunately, the next time he fell asleep, he finally received good news, and the reinforcements arrived after his death, attacking the enemy inside and out, and repulsing the enemy.
When he fell down and didn't breathe, Wicker thought he was hanging. It is said that this female warrior, who is tougher than a man, burst into tears on the spot.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and Wicker himself does not admit it at all, and whoever says it will be beaten.
After several battles, He Lingchuan also got the nickname "Crazy Knife".
didn't get a bargain on the border, and the Xianba coalition army retreated.
This was in response to He Lingchuan's prediction, the other party really did not plan to invade on a large scale, but just wanted to force the Red General of the Eastern Expedition back to Panlong City, and by the way, take advantage of the emptiness of the defense of the Panlong Wasteland to forcibly occupy a little territory.
They only achieved the first goal, and they paid a lot of money.
Panlong City also withdrew its troops from the border, and the class returned to the city to reward meritorious deeds.
The Broken Knife Squad led by He Lingchuan was loyal, brave and alert, with excellent quality, the largest number of enemies killed, the highest level of enemy leaders killed, and made great contributions to the victory of the northwest flank.
As for He Lingchuan himself, he was promoted to two levels of official rank, and was directly promoted to brigade commander, and he could govern hundreds of people.
As his deputy, Wicker Door began to reorganize the hundred-man team after returning to the city.
After several battles, He Lingchuan benefited a lot.
The battlefield is indeed the most tempering place, which is full of endless accidents and variables, one second it is still killing all sides, and the next second it may be shot into a sieve.
He walked out of the sea of corpses and blood, walked out of the flesh and blood mill, learned to see and listen to all directions, learned to judge the situation and preserve his strength, learned to meet the brave on a narrow road to win, and also learned to be clear and clear in the moment of life and death.
A rookie who has just entered the battlefield may be scared of two wars, but after fighting for too long and being easily carried away by killing intent and blood, he forgets that bravery and recklessness, astuteness and cowardice are often only a thin line.
That's the line between life and death.
The more dangerous the situation, the more calm and restrained we must be, this is not a human talent, but the result of countless death tests.
After careful review and consolidation, He Lingchuan had obvious feelings:
His own state of mind and knife skills have grown again.
The knife technique is becoming more and more effective.
The mood is becoming more and more calm and calm.
This kind of precious trial on the battlefield can only be provided by the Coiling Dragon Soul Township for the time being. Dafang Ju is also unrelenting to He Lingchuan, while he works hard to solve the case and mediate all parties during the day, he also forces him into the sea of corpses and blood at night, and keeps torturing him.
If he hadn't been determined, I'm afraid he would have had a nervous breakdown long ago.
Well, after this inhuman abuse, his spirit seems to be stronger.
In any case, the Coiling Dragon Wasteland has temporarily returned to calm after this turmoil.
At this moment, He Lingchuan is in the northwest of the Chipa Plateau, catching a strange creature for Aluoββββ
Monkey bats.
According to Arlo, this is an invasive alien species that is omnivorous, but it is likely to carry barnyard seeds that harm highland wheat, and once they land, they will burrow into the soil and parasitize on the roots of the wheat to absorb nutrients, and when the wheat wilts, it will grow stronger.
This kind of thing is very stealthy in the early stage of growth, and it is not easy to be detected and remediated.
The Dan Department of Panlong City is also responsible for some crop control tasks, and is particularly vigilant against various invasive species.
Arlo also posted a related mission from the Pengcheng Agency, but the soldiers seem to have been busy lately, and no one has taken this one for a long time. Therefore, he simply came to He Lingchuan for help.
"You're idle anyway."
These are Arlo's exact words.
So He Lingchuan came.
The monkey bat is large and can catch up with the size of a water duck, but it has a sharp beak and bulging cheeks, and a face that does resemble a monkey.
Most bats move in groups, but monkey bats only open husband and wife stalls, and they can't afford to bring a bunch of cubs, so their whereabouts are relatively hidden and not easy to track.
He Lingchuan searched for a whole day according to the clues provided by Ah Luo, and finally found the feces of monkey bats on the stalactite pillars of a cave.
I have to go inside, he looked at the dark waterhole in front of him and sighed, was he blinded by lard, why did he let his beautiful neighbor not coax or deceive, but he had to come to this water hole where he couldn't see his fingers to catch bats for Arlo?
Of course, there was water in the cave, and it was living water, because he could feel the wind blowing on his face when he entered the cave.
In the middle of summer, it is only eleven or twelve degrees here, and you will have to sneeze after staying for a long time.
The still water is so deep that only the shallows rattle.
He Lingchuan could hardly hear the sound of running water when he entered the cave, so he knew that the water here was very deep.
There was no way, so he had to grab a pair of water backings and put them on his body and jump into the pool.
The monkey bat can fly in, he can only swim in.
There are many thieves on the fork in the road, there are many thieves in the caves, and there are often unknown creatures in the water.
He Lingchuan swam for more than a quarter of an hour, relying on the illumination of fluorescent grass, and finally found the monkey bat on the top of the rock!
"What the hell!" Grab it early, go back early.
He Lingchuan didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so naturally he wouldn't notice that there was a sudden flash of blue light in the depths of the pool behind him.
The monkey bat hung upside down on the rock wall directly above him, and the family of seven was all here, probably full, and they were all sleeping with their heads covered.
How do you catch this thing?
Of course, He Lingchuan had already thought about it before he came in, that is, he grabbed two pairs of crypt cobwebs from his body, and crept up the stalactites to tie them.
In Panlong City in this time and space, General Hong and Zhu Erniang re-revised the agreement, and the Crypt Spider wanted to hand over the exclusive agency of his products to Panlong City.
In this way, Panlong City has one more fist product for export, and the crypt spider does not have to bother to deal with human female businessmen.
Since then, the equipment distributed by the warriors of Panlong City, as well as the column that can be exchanged and traded, has added special products of crypt spider silk, such as
Webs, ziplines, and spider silk soft armor, and they're well received.
He Lingchuan replaced his original rope net with a spider web, because it was lighter, stronger and more durable.
These two nets are enclosed in the direction of the hole, presenting an "L" shape.
After laying it out, He Lingchuan grabbed a few stones and hit them in front of the monkey bat, making a few knock knocks.
The monkey bat woke up, spread its wings and began to fly.
Of course, He Lingchuan also picked the right direction and drove them away in the direction of the net.
The web still retains the characteristics of spider silk, and the prey pounces on it, and the more it struggles, the deeper it sinks.
According to Arlo's request, the more monkey bats are caught, the better.
He Lingchuan threatened like this, and four bats hit the net before and after, and the others went in all directions.
He jumped over and caught it all.
When you're done, you can go out on an errand.
At this moment, the wind behind him suddenly rose, and He Lingchuan felt a chill behind him.
Warnings.
He didn't think about it, he stepped out of the two feet, stopped on another stalactite and turned back.
I was taken aback by this;
In the place where he had stood, there was an extra man in tattered peasant clothes.
It is a bit reluctant to say that he is a human being, because he not only has sound limbs, but even has several heads, male and female, old and young, with a distorted face, and more than a dozen eyes staring at He Lingchuan at the same time.
That kind of gaze, probably...... Hungry?
Only wolves who have been hungry for seven days and seven nights will have green eyes like this.
What the hell is this?
"Tribute!" The head on the monster's neck cried, "Come and feed me!"
He Lingchuan frowned, who did it shout to pay tribute?
As soon as he raised his wrist, he first rewarded the other party with a hidden arrow: "Eat this."
"Eat! Eat! Eat!" The man didn't hide, only the baby's head moved from the belly to the heart. The Hidden Arrow would have pierced the heart, but it opened its mouth and the arrow went through its mouth.
The mouth seemed to be a bottomless pit, and the arrows did not cause any damage.
"It's not delicious!" The baby's face said angrily, "I want to eat meat!
The head on his shoulder turned, and when he saw bats flying around, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out hundreds of bats towards He Lingchuan!
These bats are two sizes smaller than monkey bats, but they have human heads, glowing green eyes, sharp teeth, and front paws that resemble human hands.
The cave was already small, and with hundreds of bats crammed in, there was the sound of fluttering wings and piercing screams.
