Chapter 013: Retreat the Ghost Beast

Bang Bang Bang!

The shrill sound of gongs resounded throughout the camp.

Everyone automatically gathered together, shoulder to shoulder, forming a circular line of defense, with swords, axes and other weapons in their hands.

The faces of these ginseng pickers showed a look of horror.

The phrase 'the ghost beast is coming' brought a lot of panic to everyone present.

"Brother Zibi, what kind of beast is this ghost beast?"

Zhang Qi, who was holding a bow and arrow, turned his head to look at the fish roe on the side.

"The ghost beast is a kind of evil beast in this northern mountain, which rises day and night, has a wolf body and a human face, and likes to eat human flesh."

Yu Roe said lightly: "The ghost beast doesn't have a big appetite, and it will leave when it's full, and it won't hurt people's lives more." There are so many people here, it shouldn't be our turn. ”

“……”

Zhang Qi was speechless, can this kind of thing rely on luck.

His eyes widened and he looked carefully into the dense forest ahead, but it was dark and he couldn't see anything.

All I could hear was the heavy wheezing of the crowd.

It took a while.

When the ghost beast that Sam Weng said did not appear for a long time, some people questioned: "Sam Weng, are you mistaken?" ”

"You can't be wrong."

The old and strong Sam Weng said categorically: "A few miles away, I smelled the smell of ghosts and beasts...... Not good, it's coming, it's coming! ”

The voice did not fall.

Zhang Qi suddenly smelled a faint rancid smell from the air, stinky but not fishy, a bit like the smell of dried corpses.

Not only him, but others also smelled it.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Ghost beast!"

Someone exclaimed.

Zhang Qi turned his head to look, only to see that a four-legged creature was slowly walking out of the darkness.

In the light of the bonfire, it can be seen that the fur on its body is as black as ink, blending in with the darkness around it, making it impossible to see its size, except for one face that is white, and this face is actually a human face.

It seems to be laughing but not laughing, it seems to be crying but not crying, it looks extremely weird.

"Hee-hee."

What's even more bizarre is that this ghost beast actually emitted a childlike laughter, which was particularly eerie and terrifying in the deep mountains in the middle of the night.

Hearing the voice of the ghost beast, everyone was obviously even more panicked.

Zhang Qi aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the ghost beast more than ten meters away, but the ghost beast turned its head and glared at him with a pair of white eyes.

Swish!

Zhang Qi only felt a cold and evil aura coming down, which made him shiver involuntarily.

"Don't do it, this ghost beast is very vindictive."

Roe reminded him.

"Understood."

Zhang Qi put down the bow in his hand.

Seeing that he confessed, the ghost beast withdrew its gaze, and then jumped forward, and began to run in circles around the outskirts of the camp.

It's incredibly fast.

Everyone could only catch a black shadow, which kept rushing and flashing around the outside of the camp, and everyone became more and more panicked, because no one knew from which direction the ghost beast would attack.

Suddenly.

The ghost beast changed direction and rushed straight towards the group.

The originally neat defense line suddenly became chaotic, some people retreated, and some people took up arms and prepared to meet the enemy.

What a thought.

The ghost beast simply made a false move, and its body turned dexterously in mid-air, and then retreated to the periphery, continuing to circle around everyone.

"Everyone, steady, don't panic, this beast wants to mess up our formation, and then take advantage of the weakness."

Sam Weng raised his arms and shouted.

Zhang Qi glanced at the line of defense that had been messed up and shook his head.

After all, it's just a group of rabble, and they can't do it together, and if the ghost beast repeats its old tricks a few times, this group of people is afraid that they will collapse on the spot.

Yuroe also saw that something was wrong, and said: "Brother Dake, wait for us to act when we see the opportunity, this ghost beast has become a climate, and it is not easy to deal with." ”

Zhang Qi nodded silently.

Sure enough, this cunning ghost beast tried several times in a row, completely detonating the panic in the hearts of these ginseng pickers.

"Don't eat me!"

"Who is pushing Naigong!"

"Get out of here!"

At this life-and-death juncture, the selfishness and ugliness of human nature are completely exposed, and a group of pickers actually push each other, obviously fighting the idea of the dead friends not the poor road.

The scene was chaotic.

At this moment, the ghost beast rushed into the crowd like a gust of wind, took advantage of the chaos to bite the thigh of a ginseng picker, and dragged him away quickly.

In an instant, a man and a beast disappeared into the dark forest.

"Ahhh......h

This happened so quickly that when everyone came to their senses, they could only hear a miserable cry coming from a distance, and soon, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the dark jungle in the distance fell into a dead silence, except for the occasional sound of chewing bones.

"It's the second son of the Gao family."

"Poor Gao Ji, who has just gotten married, didn't expect to die here."

"Damn brute!"

Everyone huddled together like a flock of quails, they were trembling and looking embarrassed, but their eyes showed the joy of the rest of their lives.

When ghosts and beasts are infested, they will see blood.

These ginseng pickers all know that when they encounter ghost beasts in the mountains, someone must make sacrifices, and if they want to blame, they can only blame Gao Ji's bad luck.

It would be nice to wait until the ghost beast has eaten enough......

Pity.

The ghost beast they encountered this time had a bit of a big appetite.

When they saw the ghost beast reappearing, the group of ginseng pickers was completely frightened and collapsed, some wept bitterly, some grabbed the ground with their heads, and some simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead......

Zhang Qi and Yu Roe stood in place, watching coldly.

The ghost beast also seemed to know that these two people were not easy to mess with, and several times it set its eyes on the two of them, only to quickly look away and look for a new target.

The persimmon picks and pinches softly, and this cunning beast obviously understands this truth.

"Hey!"

The ghost monster laughed and rushed straight into the crowd. This time, it turned out to be Sam On.

"Not good!"

"Stop it!"

Zhang Qi and Yuroe shot at the same time.

The others could die, but Sam Weng, who was in charge of leading the way, could never have an accident.

"Roar!"

The gun is like a dragon.

Under the urging of qi and blood, the tiger-headed double-section gun in Zhang Qi's hand pierced the air and stabbed the ghost beast that jumped into the air with the momentum of thunder.

This shot has almost 10,000 catties of strength, and with the sharpness of the tip of the gun, even a thick iron plate can pierce it in one fell swoop.

However, the tip of the spear only penetrated half an inch, and it could no longer penetrate deeply.

Yu Roe followed closely behind, and the sword in his hand slashed heavily at the body of the ghost beast, so that even the fur of the beast could not be broken, but it was only slashed out with a sword.

The ghost beast landed ten meters away, staring at the two of them viciously with a pair of white eyes.

It has a wound on its waist.

Black blood was flowing out of the wound, and when it came into contact with the air, it instantly turned into wisps of black blood mist.

There was a strong fishy smell in the air, which was disgusting.

Seeing this scene, Yu Roe Yi looked surprised, then glanced at Zhang Qi and said, "Brother has good spear skills, and he can actually hurt this beast." ”

"It's not even close."

Zhang Qi shook his head and said very dissatisfied: "A full blow can only hurt its fur, which shows that my spear skills are still very poor." ”

“……”

Roe was speechless.

If this is called very bad, then what is he called when he can't even hurt his fur.

Zhang Qi and Yu Roe, one holding a gun and the other holding a sword, confronted the ghost beast from afar, seeing this scene, those originally headless flies like ginseng pickers, as if they had found the backbone, gathered behind the two of them and twisted them into a rope again.

"Whew!"

The ghost beast let out a low roar and rushed towards everyone again.

"Retreat!"

Zhang Qi took a step forward, and the spear in his hand stabbed into the ghost beast's abdomen like lightning.

The ghost beast had suffered from this spear, and did not dare to try its edge, and was forced to retreat by this spear.

"Retreat! Withdraw! Withdraw! ”

The people hiding behind couldn't help much, so they could only shout and cheer.

The Oni attempted to attack a few more times.

As a result, he was repelled by Zhang Qi and Yuroe every time, the most dangerous time, the claws of the ghost beast had cut through the clothes on Zhang Qi's chest, fortunately, his skin was 'hard' enough to block the claws of the ghost beast, otherwise I am afraid he would be disemboweled.

And as a price, the ghost beast was stabbed by Zhang Qi again.

As for the caviar.

His body is extremely flexible, from head to tail, the ghost beast can't touch the corners of his clothes, and of course, the fish roe can't hurt this ghost beast either.

"Whew!"

Seeing that it couldn't take advantage, the ghost beast raised its head to the sky unwillingly and howled, and its figure slowly disappeared into the darkness until it disappeared.

It wasn't until after dawn that the ghost beast never reappeared.

"It's dawn, we're saved!"

"Woo."

"Thank you two heroes for saving your life."

Under the leadership of Sam Weng, the surviving ginseng pickers expressed their gratitude to Zhang Qi and Yu Luobi, and even many knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them for saving their lives.

If it weren't for the two of them, there would definitely be dead among these pickers.

Roe enjoyed the scene.

Zhang Qi hid aside to rest, with a tired look on his face.

The battle with that ghost beast consumed a lot of his qi and blood, and the process was full of dangers, if he hadn't practiced "Gold Eating Gong", I was afraid that it would have been cold long ago.

On the first day of entering the mountain, he was attacked by ghosts and beasts at night and lost a piece of clothing.

This Beibi Mountain is really fucking dangerous.
