Chapter 211: The Painted Man
When I saw Dong Jing walking into the castle with the lit cow dung in his hand, and he and Wu Xiken got closer and closer to me, the stench became stronger and stronger.
It was precisely because of the smell of cow dung that I saw that this was not an ancient castle at all.
What trapped me was just a thatched hut.
There was nothing in the thatched hut, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say it and find someone? What about people? Dong Jing looked at me.
I told her everything that had just happened, and when I was done, she frowned.
"It's very likely that someone has set up a formation here."
I agree with her.
I don't know if there are man-eating monsters on this mountain, at least I've heard it before, and something is howling on the top of the mountain.
But I'm also sure that someone must have set up a formation here.
The man-eating monster is just a monster, and no matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the shotgun in the hand of Wu Xiken.
But someone is here to use the formation to attack people's hearts, and that's the most important thing.
I've got to find out, I'm going to see who this guy is.
In fact, I already had the answer in my mind.
This is the only way for the black and white villages to go to each other's formation, and in my guess, the last time I fought with the river god, I had already seen the headwind leader.
I knew very well that he must be in Bai Miao.
So it's very likely that this formation was laid by him!
"I haven't found Al yet, have you seen Al yet?" I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Even if I was a little bit of a knife here, there would be no way to escape from that formation, and if it weren't for Dongjing, I would probably have been tied to the table just now.
Wrong.
I reached out and looked at my right arm, and there was indeed a small red dot on it.
But probably because of the time that had passed, the little red dot had stopped bleeding.
So it's very likely that what happened just now is more than just the formation, the person I saw just now, he has already entered the formation, and he plans to tie me up.
Who the hell is he?
"We didn't see Al," Usiken said, putting his hand in front of me and shaking it, "What's wrong with you?" ”
My mind was barely pulled back, and I shook my head with a wry smile: "It's nothing, I'm wondering why I was pulled into the formation just now, and I don't know at all." ”
"I'm here...... Ahem......"
Suddenly, Al's voice rang out not far away.
The thatched hut was not big, and we really didn't see where he was.
If he didn't speak, we probably didn't know he was buried in the haystack.
Following the sound, we found Al through the haystack.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
Al had a blue nose and swollen face, and looked like he had been in a fight, and he was also injured.
"I just walked out of the broken temple with a stomachache, and it didn't take long for me to hear that someone was passing by and I thought it was Bai Miao's people, so I followed them here. Unexpectedly, the man turned around and found out, and actually fought with me. He doesn't have a lot of strength, but he has a lot of tricks. I was stunned by the beating he made, and he slapped me in the head with a brick. ”
Al reached out and pointed to the back of his head, there were indeed signs of injury.
If I wasn't sure if that man was real or not, now I can basically be sure that there was indeed a man here just now, but when Dong Jing came in, he didn't know where to flee.
Wu Xiken frowned: "Are you talking about the same man?" ”
I'm not sure: "I couldn't see what the man looked like just now, he had facial features, but I was as if I was face blind." If you ask me what he looks like now, I can't remember it at all. ”
"It's normal to not remember, he has paint on his face, and I'm not sure if he's wearing a mask because his face is so hideous." Al shook his head, it seemed to be the place where he was injured, and it hurt him in particular.
I listened to Al's words, and I didn't have a clue in my head.
"Wen Jie, you have come into contact with that man, have you found anything iconic. Even a little, we can combine and slowly go to this person. Don't worry about it now, let's go back and think slowly. ”
I comforted me, and I had no choice but to obey him and go back first.
We walked all the way in the direction of the ruined temple, and the injuries on Al's body were fortunately all skin wounds.
In addition, the person didn't have much strength in the first place, and Al's head was not broken, but only swollen with a big bag.
"I remember, I don't know if it's a detail. The man had a strong smell of spices, and it smelled like the ones we had smelled before, but it didn't seem to be the same. "I looked at Usiken, and it was probably the most useful detail I could think of.
Sure enough, Usiken looked at me with his eyes shining.
"Can you describe the smell?"
I shook my head: "No, but there is one more detail. Before you showed up, the man was so close to me that I could smell a foul smell. ”
That's right, the smell of carrion.
It's as if something is rotten, and it's been rotten for a long time, deliberately covered with fragrance.
Al listened to my words and glanced at Usiken.
The two of them looked wrong, and it seemed that they already knew who it was.
Dong Jing and I were a little confused, after all, we didn't know each other here.
Black Miao is okay, we have all stayed for a while, but we haven't seen this person.
Then, only Bai Miao's people are left.
"Could it be a descendant of Kata?" Al asked.
Wuxiken nodded.
On Bai Miao's side, there are no elders.
Their manager is only the old man.
Kata used to be their village elder, but when he died, someone else became the manager.
But Bai Miao, many times it is a hereditary system.
The black seedlings are Zen and let the capable live in it.
Wu Xiken is already a candidate for the elders in the future.
He knows a lot of things about Bai Miao.
"Only the old Bai Miao Village will paint on the face, which is a sacrificial ceremony."
Wu Xiken helped us with a few popular science.
As soon as I heard about the sacrifice, my whole body felt bad.
It was a nightmare for me.
Even so, it is a good thing for us, at least now there is more and more evidence pointing to the headwind road leader, which has something to do with Bai Miao.
We returned to the ruined temple by the same path, and when we opened the door of the ruined temple, we found that it was gone.
In this mountain, anything can happen.
I don't really believe that he would leave here alone, if he had the guts, he would have gone up the mountain by himself and would not have followed us, so is it possible that he was taken captive?
