Chapter 320: Distress
However, with the effect of time stopping, I am naturally not in a hurry.
Xie Chen walked forward little by little, passing through the grass that was almost close to his waist, looking unhurried.
But in fact, more energy is focused on the area that passes by.
I'm afraid that some places will be missed by myself.
The footprints only appeared in the rear just now, and because the front was covered by weeds, it was impossible to see the traces of footprints.
So there's no way to tell if the footprint ended up moving forward, or if there was a turn somewhere?
Although weeds do not make traces of footprints, there is no way to hide the traces of human walks.
Although the grass in front of it is dense, the grass in that area is significantly lower than the surrounding area, and you can see it.
I walked along the grass that had fallen a little, and soon came to the tree in front of me.
I saw several figures standing in front of me, and two of them looked in the direction where they had just kicked the wall with their feet.
At that time, I had already removed the function of the pocket watch, so the sound of kicking the wall with my foot could be heard by everyone here.
Xie Chen did not rush forward, but stood in place and gently pointed his finger at the head.
plus the one who squatted on the ground, there are four people in total, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Xie Chen quickly leaned forward and came to the surroundings of these four people.
The two of them looked in the direction they had entered the area, without any expression on their faces, and there was no trace of emotion.
The other one was standing and the other was squatting, and there was nothing to see on the faces of the two, and the four of them were like facial paralysis, and the slightest emotional fluctuation could not be detected from their bodies.
This kind of thing can be experienced just by standing next to it.
Xie Chen looked down, that is, the area surrounded by these four people, and it was a foam box with "river shrimp" written on it.
But to my surprise, there was nothing inside, and the whole foam box was very clean, as if it was brand new.
This was not right at all, because when I was outside, I saw one of them take something out of it.
It's empty now, and it's a strange thing to think about......
Xie Chen picked up the foam box after joking, but just half of it was found to be particularly heavy, and it was not the weight of a normal foam box at all.
Xie Chen frowned, and had no choice but to pull it up with both hands, so he reluctantly picked up the foam box.
It's like it's filled with cement, and it doesn't even move when you pull it with one hand at first.
Xie Chen looked at the guys next to him, all of them still maintaining their original postures.
But I felt that something was wrong.
When the foam box was removed, the dust could clearly see the area underneath, and the dirt had become very loose, as if it had just been pressed down.
It was clear that the soil had just been cut away, but it had been filled in again.
Naturally, it's the four people around you, but what is the purpose of digging up all this dirt?
"Isn't it to buy something?"
He muttered to himself.
This is also the most likely thing, after all, there is such a heavy foam box on it, this matter is already very strange.
Xie Chen looked around at this thing, and everyone gave it a kick.
The four people who were still maintaining their respective postures, after being kicked by Xie Chen, all lay on the ground in different postures.
Xie Chen picked up the foam box in his hand and smashed it heavily on the leg of the person next to him.
There was only a click, and blood flowed down the man's leg.
The calf that had been hit by himself with a foam box was also dented, and it was obvious that the bone had been broken.
You must know that this foam box is your own, and you can only move it when your face is flushed, but your chest is smashed like this, and no one can bear it with a normal person's physique.
These guys don't look like normal people, and they naturally don't have a reason to keep their hands.
After moving back and forth four times, several of the guys lying on the ground also broke a leg each.
Xie Chen was tired and sweaty, so he threw the foam box in his hand aside, and then came to the place where the soil was loose just now.
After taking a discarded branch next to him, Xie Chen squatted directly on the ground to dig.
As I dug a little bit, a foul smell came out of the churning dirt.
The smell of decay mixed with the smell of damp earth and a little bit of blood poured into his nostrils.
But no matter what, after smelling these strange smells so many times, even if I can tolerate it a little, my body will still have some adverse reactions.
Xie Chen pulled up some of his clothes, slightly covering his mouth and nose, and then struggled to dig into the ground.
Some of the clumps of earth were then dug out by themselves, and in contrast, they were buried further down.
After turning over the dirt, there was even a lot of white stuff mixed in with it.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is an obvious maggot.
After seeing this thing, even if Xie Chen didn't continue to dig down, he could already guess what was buried underneath.
But to put it bluntly, in order to verify, in order to get a truth, the thicker branch in his hand was cut off by himself.
But fortunately, it is long enough, and the broken place is also in the middle of the branch, and you can get two tools by holding it directly with both hands, and the efficiency has also been slightly improved.
After a long while, the dirt in the area in front of me was completely dug out by itself.
What caught my eye was a thigh that had been covered in mud and had many insect repellent crawls on the surface.
Xie Chen's pupils were just a little shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time when he looked at the leg in front of him.
Just from the shoes on this leg, I already recognized that it was a photo sent to me by the netizen "q" in the social software of the computer when I was home alone.
This is indeed the child's thigh.
If you calculate it from the point of view of time, this time also happens to be the time point of the rotting maggots, and it is indeed all right.
I haven't even gone to Big Ben yet, so I have arrived at the nest before I know it?
Xie Chen's head is very chaotic now, and he only feels that the scene in front of him is a little indescribable, and his thoughts are a little unable to keep up.
If this is the lair, then where is the unknown humanoid?
I didn't even see anyone, and this was a guy with a broken leg around me, and it couldn't be the unknown humanoid creature.
Otherwise, when I squatted in front of the store and pretended to look at the fishing rod, I would have already started to do it to myself.
But now these guys are not only hiding from themselves, but even a bit like they are carrying themselves behind their backs to deal with the stolen goods.
It's hard to understand yourself, what does that mean?
Could it be that these guys are indeed part of an unknown humanoid creature, as they think?
It's not that there is no such possibility, but the more I think about it, the more outrageous I feel that this possibility becomes.
If that's the case, why didn't that thing just go for it?
Wouldn't it be even more slippery?
It's even a hundred directly, where do you need so many twists and turns?
Xie Chen endured his nausea and slowly stood up, because this leg was already rotting, and he was digging the soil with a branch just now, so it was inevitable that he poked it several times.
The juice-dripping liquid inside spread out from the hole that had been poked open by himself, and it looked particularly disgusting.
Xie Chen took two steps back, not thinking of pulling this thing out of it.
But the two parts that I just retreated from followed with something on my heels......
Originally, I thought it was the guy's leg, but when I looked down, I found a hand covered in dirt, which was now holding my heel.
Xie Chen was covered with goosebumps.
Only then did I come back to my senses, and when I pressed the pocket watch before, plus I had just gouged out this leg, it had already been ten minutes.
But this is a guy who broke his leg by himself, and he didn't scream at all last year.
Xie Chen just wanted to lift his feet, but the hand that held his heels was very strong, even if his feet struggled to lift up, the effect was minimal.
I can't pull this thing that only grabs my heel with one hand.
Xie Chen quickly turned around, kicked this guy on the head hard, and then pressed down directly, so strong that he directly dried the head of this thing into the soil, and came to a close contact.
But the effect was minimal, as if it had no effect on the man at all.
If this thing was the only one who grabbed his hand, it wouldn't be too important, mainly because the three guys next to him who had broken their legs also crawled towards him little by little.
One can handle it well, but if you change it to three, the situation is very different.
After kicking the face of this thing into the soft dirt under his feet, Xie Chen did not hesitate to put his hand into his pocket, ready to take out the pocket watch.
But the speed was half a beat slower, and a guy close to him on the side pounced on his other leg with both hands.
After being pulled, he quickly lost his balance and stumbled.
In this case, you want to stabilize your balance, unless both hands are outstretched, and now that one of your hands is still in your pocket, it is even more difficult to maintain balance.
Xie Chen leaned slightly to the left, trying to stabilize his whole body, but now it had become a luxury.
Before the pocket watch could be found in his pocket, he immediately fell down as the guy on the left pulled it with his hand.
Even if you only have one hand to support it, you can't hold it up to the ground behind you.
If you fall straight forward, there is still a way, but now you are leaning back to the left, and you can only subconsciously protect your head with your hands.
Xie Chen quickly adjusted in mid-air, but the speed at which the whole person fell to the ground was very fast, and when he came into close contact with the ground, he couldn't help but snort.
A sharp pain came from his back, as well as in his arms. Especially when the back of my hand hit a stone on the ground.
The severe pain made me tremble all over, and it didn't matter how I fell to the ground from standing, and my hand was hit on the stone on the ground, the most uncomfortable thing was that I was still weighing on my whole body.
Xie Chen didn't even have time to deal with it, the sharp pain from the back of his hand occupied his brain at the first time, and even if he knew that the situation was critical now, his brain couldn't give an order at the first time.
It was a thing next to it, and it was all crawling towards itself, and it was getting faster and faster.
He endured severe pain and rolled from side to side on the ground, and one of the later ones had already put his hand on his shoulder and pulled it to the side hard.
Xie Chen knew in his heart that these guys next to him were not good for him, and he had even gotten so close, but his body was still a little unbearable.
One of them was lying on his lap so hard that all the weight on his body was weighed down, and even if he wanted to lift his foot, it became very difficult.
Xie Chen kicked forward with his foot hard, relying on this action to vent the pain in his body.
After all, the strengthening effect of the body is still there, and the thing on the side can't hold down its legs, and it flutters again, trying to gain more of the upper hand.
But he grabbed the gap by himself, kicked the guy in the chest hard, and directly let it fly out, and even rolled back and forth on the ground twice.
With those broken legs alone, even if you want to climb back up, it will take a long time.
Four troubles have now become three, and with all four limbs confined to him, he has managed to free one leg.
The pain eased slightly, and Xie Chen quickly kicked the guy on the side with his free leg.
For the environment I am in now, I have a little bit of a disregard.
The shirt he was wearing had even been torn out of several holes, and there were many scratches on his chest and shoulders.
There was also a large bruise on the back of the hand that was knocked on the stone, and I don't know if the bone is broken for the time being.
Xie Chen struggled hard, and soon one of them was kicked in the cheek by himself, and then pounced on the ground to eat.
Solved the two things below that restricted his feet, and the frequency of his struggles became higher, which made the two things next to him gradually unable to hold down.
Grabbing this gap, Xie Chen hurriedly put the pocket of the magic mirror in his hand, quickly held the pocket watch in his hand, and pressed the button twice.
The time around me immediately stopped, and I struggled to adjust to the discomfort of my body.
Fortunately, it didn't take much time, and the adrenaline that had increased at an astonishing speed had already helped me adapt to my current physical condition.
Xie Chen couldn't help but spat on the ground on the side, and then struggled to get up.
But the thing next to him was still clutching his two hands, and one of them had wide eyes as if he were grinning at himself.
Xie Chen pulled his left hand hard, and then pulled his hand out.
