Chapter 44: The Suspect
"Don't think! Frozen Land! Brother Hua was lucky, and the sword in his hand plunged straight into the earth, only to see that the earth in the cave quickly formed a layer of ice ballast.
Shi Ming and Li Weiqiang found the spot of the dirt bag, and attacked the two frontmost dirt bags with a sword and a hammer, poof, although they didn't know what was underground, but the two obviously succeeded in hitting, and the blood immediately flowed out of the dirt bag.
Second Brother Hua was trying to concoct the first two attackers in the same way, but his face suddenly changed, because he smelled a pungent smell, and couldn't help but roar: "Don't fight, this is the earth-based primary spirit beast armor poison ferret, and the blood can volatilize a poisonous gas that paralyzes beasts." ”
At the beginning, of course, it was Li Weiqiang and Shi Ming, who rushed to the forefront, Shi Ming was okay, although he was injured, but the aura had a strong resistance to poisonous gas, but Li Weiqiang was miserable, and he suddenly felt numb in his hands and feet.
With two pops, the armored poison ferrets, which were unable to advance underground due to freezing, rushed out of the earth, they were more than a meter long, with gray and white stripes interlaced, their bodies had reflective carapaces, and their two front teeth were particularly large and terrifying.
"Xiaoqiang?" Shi Ming grabbed the paralyzed Li Weiqiang, slammed the hammer with one hand, and whipped the two poisonous ferrets away with one left and one right, and shouted to the rear at the same time: "Hurry up and run out, the cave space is too small, and the poisonous gas volatilizes too fast." ”
"I'll lead the captain and Xiaoyun, and the others will break through quickly." Ye Meng instructed the puppet to pick up the two wounded.
Everyone did not dare to delay, and tried their best to break through more than a dozen armored poison ferrets in the form of blows, so as not to produce poison gas again. There are more than a dozen armor poison ferrets, but after all, they are relatively average among low-level spirit beasts, and most of the strength of the people in the field is above the mature stage, even if they are injured, they will not be afraid of any primary spirit beasts.
It didn't take long for the group to escape safely from the cave.
"Breathe fast, it's okay, this thing isn't deadly." Shi Ming hugged Li Weiqiang, lifted his chin with his right hand, dragged his mouth away, and tried to let him breathe fresh air.
After a short time, Li Weiqiang, the only one who was affected, also recovered from paralysis, but everyone lost the sight of the cave and moved out of the cave, and this time they were in a hurry, and they didn't even get a lot of supplies. But everyone had no intention of going back, because dozens or even nearly a hundred dirt bags had gathered in all directions of the cave entrance again, all of which poured into the cave.
"Why? Why are there so many armoured poison ferrets? Ye Meng's face was gloomy, this cave entrance was secret, it was difficult for ordinary spirit beasts to find it at all, and it was an unusual thing for so many armor skunks to suddenly appear.
Morey said: "It doesn't matter why it happened, what matters, what do we do now?" ”
Everyone fell into a dead silence, because of the addition of the Hell Black Dragon, the barren grassland almost became a dangerous land, and with the current state of a few people, any one encountered would be dead and lifeless.
Ye Meng said: "What can be done, although we are very unwilling, we must move forward." ”
Li Weiqiang immediately objected: "No, what about Captain Yunhe?" Their current bodies simply can't stand the rush. ”
Ye Meng said: "Then what should I do?" Do you continue to find a place to hide? Don't you know that there are two if there is one? ”
Morey said: "I agree, then let's go." ”
Everyone fell silent, not wanting to face the last thing they wanted to face, but now everyone knew that there must be a scourge in the team, and that person clearly wanted to put the whole team in danger.
There are many extremely high grasses in the grassland, which can avoid the sight of the sky, and everyone tries to choose such a place to set off. Losing one's mount, losing most of one's dry rations and luggage, it is dangerous and terrifying to move forward blindly, but waiting will undoubtedly lead to greater danger.
In the evening, after walking all afternoon, the people finally stopped, and because they did not dare to make a fire, they could only gnaw on some of the only dry food left on their bodies. On this night, for the first time, everyone was on the grassland, taking the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed, admiring the vast starry sky.
The next morning, almost repeating the pace of the previous day, except for a short break and water intake, kept moving forward. In the evening of the same day, there was hardly much dry food left from the Bai people, and the hungry few people did not dare to light a fire, so they could only chew some weeds picked from the grassland to replenish their strength.
"Damn, Lao Tzu can't stand it, who is going to provoke the black dragon and lure the armor skunk to the cave? If I don't find people, I'll have to suffocate to death. Shi Ming shook off the grass in his hand, it was not a sheep, and the bitter and astringent grass made people regret being a human.
Ye Meng's eyes swept over everyone, and seeing that everyone was angry, he said: "I can't stand this grievance anymore, who is it, let's take a good look at it." Xiaoqiang, you said that when the four of you were exploring the Golden Passage, the secret treasure guarded by the Hell Black Dragon was still there, right? ”
Li Weiqiang nodded: "Yes, after that, we will go back to the camp, but when we leave...... Yuexin, tell me about it. ”
Yue Xin nodded and said: "At that time, I felt a deep hidden, but very strong desire, the young Demon Moon Clan people have a certain ability to feel, I originally thought it was an illusion, but now that I think about it, it shouldn't be." ”
Ye Meng said: "After that, the four of you are all together, right?" ”
"Yes, we've always been together, except for Midnight and Yuexin going out, and we've never been separated halfway." Li Weiqiang nodded.
Ye Meng said: "After that night, the captain, me, and Brother Hua first sorted out the spiritual blood collected before, and then planned a formation deployment for tomorrow, not long after we separated, we heard the roar of the Hell Black Dragon, in terms of time, the three of us have no chance to go to that cave." ”
Brother Hua nodded and said, "That's right, we discussed it late that night, mainly because the captain wanted to train the two young people more and help them find some spirit beasts that were not in danger but could be trained." ”
Li Weiqiang's eyes darkened, and he couldn't bear to glance at Xinglin, who was still asleep.
Shi Ming said: "I went to bed early that night, and after we talked, I went back to the tent to sleep. ”
Ye Meng asked, "Can anyone prove it?" ”
Shi Ming said depressedly: "I sleep by myself, how can there be witnesses." ”
Leng Dan said: "I can prove that he is indeed sleeping, unless there is a second person in his tent who can still make a shocking snort." Because of him, I didn't sleep in the first half of the night. ”
Shi Ming's old face flushed, although someone proved his innocence very well, but this way of proving it couldn't make people happy.
Li Weiqiang's gaze fell on the last two: "Second Brother Hua, Uncle Morey, what about you?" ”
Second Brother Hua said: "I have been in the tent that night and have never left. ”
"Really? Your eldest brother has been in the captain's tent all along, so there should be no one to testify to you, right? Morey glanced at Second Brother Hua.
Second Brother Hua's face turned dark, and he snorted, "What do you mean?" So where are you? ”
"Hmph, I'm in the tent."
"Do you have any witnesses?"
"Everyone else is doing their own thing, and there are no witnesses. It's you, what's in a hurry, the vice captain is just checking the situation and excluding some people. Morey said with a smile.
Second Brother Hua and Morey looked at each other very strangely, most of the others were not present with evidence, and the remaining two people who had no evidence at all seemed so abrupt.
Li Weiqiang looked at the remaining two people, and his heart was full of thoughts, who was lying, Second Brother Hua, who had been carefully teaching his swordsmanship? Or is it the vitriolic Morey?
Luck, if you are still awake, if you hear these words and statements, can you guess, who exactly? Li Weiqiang slowly closed his eyes, and the narration of the crowd slowly flowed through his head like a replay.
