Chapter 118: The Stalker
In the glow, new branches sprouted from the broken branches that had been cut down last night, and in the blink of an eye, the canopy became dense again.
And under the canopy, a few people appeared.
Wrapped in animal skin, it only covers key parts, carrying a bow and arrow, bare chest, smooth and strong muscles, and strange tattoos on his arms.
The black tattoo resembles a skeleton and a beast's head.
The color is thick, as if the darkest ink is scattered on the skin, and if you look at it a few times, the beast's head will come to life.
The men looked around, staring at the trunks, frowning in search of something.
"What about people?"
One of them whispered, his voice hoarse, and his words were not very smooth, as if they had been squeezed out of his throat.
"I don't know, the traces have been erased."
The person who answered the call spoke even more hesitantly, spitting out a few words and a few words, and it seemed that he had not spoken for a long time.
What followed was a strange murmur of voices and communication in the tribal language.
They looked at one of the people in the group.
The man was relatively small, and his cheeks were smeared with the juice of some kind of plant, staining his skin yellowish-brown.
He wears a crest of feathers on his head.
In the center of the white crest is a red feather with a striking color, and those feathers have been away from the body for a long time, but they still maintain their brilliant color.
The man spat out difficult words, and the tattoo on his arm was darker, and the ink smeared on his skin.
"Chase!"
He pointed to the direction in which Lu Yun and the two disappeared, and dropped the word.
A group of people moved again, the dense woods and weeds could not stop their movements at all, vigorous and sensitive, and the figure shuttling through the mountains and forests almost merged with the mountains and forests.
Ahead, Lu Yun, who didn't know that he was being tracked, stood at the junction with Ji Hongxi.
In front of you are clusters of dwarf berry trees, with pink fruits hanging from them, and the sweet aroma makes your mouth flutter when you look at them.
Beyond this small piece of berry trees, Ji Hongxi's cultivation will be reduced to the middle stage of Jindan.
Ahead was the deeper area of the Guman Mountain Range, and the two of them prepared to change directions.
Lu Yun, who was walking among the berries, unconsciously looked at those berries.
The pink fruits, the size of a fingernail, looked crystal juicy, and her throat rolled, and she felt the urge to eat it.
Her left hand reached out uncontrollably, and just as she was about to touch the berry, the string of beads on her wrist slipped off.
The sandalwood smashed together and made a small cracking sound, and it was this sound that made Lu Yun's pupils shrink, and he took a few steps back.
The sandalwood beads used to clear the mind and fight against illusion did not work, but it was the sound of collision that made Lu Yun vigilant.
She looked at the little berry and looked stunned.
What the hell is this, she wants to devour it.
On the side, Ji Hongxi's eyes were also staring at those fruits, and Ji Hongxi, who had cultivated higher than Lu Yun, had not made a move for the time being.
But looking at his impatient eyes, Lu Yun knew that the other party was also resisting.
Hurriedly dragged the person out, Lu Yun pulled the person away from the berry quickly.
As the distance narrowed, the appetizing aroma disappeared, and when I looked there, there was a little white in the beautiful berry bushes.
The white color of Sen Han came from a corpse, which seemed to be animal bones, and the bone was so pale that it made Lu Yun's back cold.
And the roots of those berry trees are rooted in those corpses, and the flesh is absorbed, leaving behind the bones as nourishment.
"Who!"
She heard Ji Hongxi's scolding, and she felt the feeling of being spied on again.
The sight was not evil, even careful.
But in this kind of place, being stared at by an unknown existence is inevitably creepy.
Ji Hongxi's spiritual sense probed out, looking around, and the spiritual sense that could be spread out did not feel the existence of any figure.
The air became quiet, except for the sound of the leaves rubbing against the wind.
After listening to it for a long time, it looks like the sound of a child playing.
"Hee-hee-hee!"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Lu Yun's mind echoes with the playful sound of naughty children, and naughty children are playing hide and seek with them.
After seeing Ji Hongxi's expression clearly, Lu Yun knew that this was not her illusion.
But in the face of this teasing, the two were unblessed.
"Let's go!"
Ji Hongxi pulled Lu Yun and walked in another direction, and the pace was a little panicked.
Lu Yun ran along the other party's strength, and her delicate face was solemn.
She couldn't see anyone, but that gaze followed her.
In the heavens and on the ground, countless eyes stared at them, unable to escape.
"I don't believe I can't leave."
Ji Hongxi was very annoyed, the glass blood came out of the sheath, the sword trick was pinched out, and Ji Hongxi took Lu Yun and asked the sword to leave.
At first, the ascension went smoothly, but soon, as if they had hit a non-existent barrier, they were unstable and almost fell again.
The two were suspended in the air, Lu Yun raised his hand and touched it, and passed without obstacles, but Edgeworth couldn't continue to go up.
She jumped onto a tree and followed its branches all the way up until she stood at the top of the canopy.
Standing in the wind, the green clothes swayed, and at this moment, Lu Yun stood taller than Ji Hongxi of Edgeworth.
Ji Hongxi's face was dark, and after giving up the Imperial Sword, he was indeed able to come to a higher place.
Climb high and look into the distance, and what you see is a cascading mountain forest.
The green came from all directions, like an infinite wave, crowded, surging, trying to drown people here.
Breathing became difficult at this moment, and the feeling of suffocation made Lu Yun's face gradually pale.
Her attempt to get out of the canopy was denied, and as far as the eye could see, it was all green.
She clutched her chest and fell back to the ground, and the moment she landed on the ground, the strange feeling of suffocation disappeared.
There was a burst of tenderness from the place where the legs touched the earth.
At this moment, Lu Yun seems to be incarnated as a tree in this grand mountain forest, she is rooted in the soil, sucking the nutrients from Mother Earth to support herself.
The last breath of depression was exhaled, and the discomfort disappeared completely.
Her ears and eyes sharpened.
She stretched her branches wantonly, enjoying the bright sunshine.
She saw people approaching not far away, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and the black tattoos on their arms made her disgusted.
"Senior sister, junior sister...... Wake up. ”
"Lu Yun, Ah Yun, little Ah Yun, wake up."
The voice from Ji Hongxi was close to his ears, with anxiety and anger.
Lu Yun lowered her head and saw Ji Hongxi's frightened cheeks, where she was worried.
She stretched out her hand and touched Ji Hongxi's head, wanting to tell her senior brother that she was okay now.
She moved her feet, oh no, she couldn't move her feet.
How does a tree move its feet?
Thinking slowly, she stretched again, lazy all over, and wanted to sleep.
Ji Hongxi didn't know how Lu Yun felt.
What he saw was that Lu Yun stopped moving after she landed, and her skin began to lignify.
It's like rough and dry bark, losing moisture, crumpled, and dying.
