"Zhang Xu, where are you?"

The empty voices of a few of us echoed here, but there was no response.

"Cui Hao, come to me, Zhang Xu must be in danger."

I stared at the golden thread, which was swaying slightly in the ripples of the water, and the bubbles in the center of the pool were floating towards the shore.

"Something is coming, follow me, don't get lost."

Time is pressing, and it's too late to find Zhang Xu.

Just as I stared down the river, wary of the approaching blister.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation behind me.

"What's that in the woods?"

I immediately turned around and followed Cui Hao's voice.

However, the moment I turned around, there was a sound of water popping behind me, and a black shadow came out of the water.

Fortunately, I turned around in time and kept an eye out for movements behind me.

The moment the thing pounced, I immediately threw out Shang Fang's sword and slashed it in the direction of the shadow.

Poof.

This thing was instantly slashed through the body by my long sword, and a thick black liquid spurted out, splashing on the ground and instantly burning a long crack.

Thick white smoke rose from the ground, and several large holes were burned in the ground.

Plop.

Before a few of us could see what had jumped out of the water, the thing fell back below the surface and quickly disappeared in front of me.

Cui Hao squeezed my arm tightly.

"What was that question just now?"

Even though I swung my sword fast, I couldn't see what it looked like to stick out of the water.

I shook my head and quickly led them away from the riverbank.

The golden threads still floated at the edge of the river, but I didn't dare to approach them any longer.

"What did you just see in the woods behind you?"

Maybe that black shadow is the disappeared Zhang Xu.

Cui Hao's eyes showed a little fear again, and he pointed to the dense forest in front of him and shook his head at me.

"A black shadow about two meters high, and faintly, I feel as if this shadow has two heads, but I can't see it clearly."

The two heads seem to be ghosts.

Maybe it was this thing that took advantage of our inattention and kidnapped Zhang Xu.

"Come with me, let's go find him."

I beckoned Cui Hao and Wang Wangyang and asked the two of them to follow me into the dense forest.

The golden thread was no longer moving, and I was sure that if I wanted to find the corpse, it was in the river, and the corpse that fell to the bottom of the water was a water corpse, and he couldn't run.

For today's plan, the most important thing is to quickly find Zhang Xu back, this dense forest is deep, and ghosts are floating around.

We don't care, he's unlucky.

I followed Cui Hao to the place where the dark shadow he had just pointed to appeared.

As soon as I stepped into the dense forest, I saw a row of huge footprints under my feet.

The footprint was about half a meter long, and it was more than a few laps larger than the soles of ordinary people's feet.

"Such a big footprint?"

Wang Wangyang leaned towards the footprints and imprinted the soles of his feet beside him.

His footprints were only half the thickness of his knuckles on the dirt, but the wide soles of his feet sank nearly ten centimeters downward.

It's enough to prove the sheer weight of this thing.

"To be able to leave footprints, this thing should not be a soul, there must be an entity, maybe a special giant carrion."

Wang Wangyang got up and walked a few meters forward along the footprints.

"Let's go find this thing."

I'm not sure if I'm going to search for this weird carrion.

To be precise, rotting corpses do not feed on human bodies, they love rotting shells and animal entrails.

They have no interest in the living.

If it's really this kind of giant rotting corpse, I can't figure out why they kidnapped Zhang Xu.

But I didn't have to wait for me to figure it out.

Suddenly, a scream rang out from the dense forest ahead.

"Zhang Xu, it must be him."

The sound is very familiar to us, and it is undoubtedly Zhang Xu's voice.

I immediately dragged the two of them out and ran towards the source of the sound.

The screams continued, and they provided us with directions to follow.

Just as we reached the source of the sound, a bright light flashed in the woods.

Several of us were forced to close our eyes.

Zhang Xu's voice was mixed with despair, followed by a roar.

"Zhang Ji, I hate you!"

In the next second, the voice weakened.

I shook my head, blinked my eyes, soothed the irritation of the bright light, and touched the trees around me to rush in the direction of the last roar.

When I get to my destination.

I only found that Zhang Xu was sitting on the ground in a trance, and his whole face was miserable and pale.

Cui Hao rushed over one step ahead of me and helped the person up from the ground.

"Zhang Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xu looked back in a trance, and when he looked at a few of us, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and his body fell on Cui Hao's body in a flash.

"Zhang Ji, which guy is it, he just came to me."

Cui Hao frowned and stared cautiously at the dense forest around him.

"We didn't see anyone when we came, we only saw a burst of white light, did Zhang Ji run away before we rushed over?"

Zhang Xu looked in a trance, and nodded along with Cui Hao's words.

"I don't know, but he wants to kill me."

Zhang Xu lifted his shirt and saw that his arms and chest were densely covered with fresh wounds.

He was dressed in dark black, and if he hadn't paid attention, he hadn't really noticed the wounds.

At this time, it turned out that his shirt was not stained with water, but with blood.

"Where did he go? We'll get him back for you. ”

Wang Wangyang was also furious, and immediately circled around the surrounding forest, trying to find the way for the guy to escape.

Zhang Xu shook his head helplessly at us, the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.

"I didn't see it, and I don't understand, why did he kill me? When I questioned him, he didn't speak, but asked me to ask Hades. ”

Zhang Xu looked up at a few of us gratefully.

"If it weren't for you, I might have died here by now."

I waved at him and pointed us where we came.

"What the hell just happened, how did the rope break? Did Zhang Ji do it too? ”

Zhang Xu nodded to confirm my guess.

"Yes, I was going to follow you forward, and everything was going well, but just as I was about to reach the shore of the lake, I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my neck. When I looked back, Zhang Ji was standing behind me, and then I fainted as soon as I saw a flower in front of my eyes. ”

How to shoot flowers.

I immediately stepped forward and lifted the back collar of Zhang Xu's clothes, and as expected, there was a palm print on the back of his neck.

There was also some white powder faintly sprinkled above the collar, and it seemed that he was stunned by Zhang Ji's guy at that time.

"It's okay, we're here. This guy didn't dare to show up again. ”

Zhang Ji may have watched Zhang Xu fall last to us, so he took a risk and took the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the person away.

Maybe he wanted to do the same and launch a sneak attack on us one by one, but he didn't expect me to count the number of people halfway, and I found out that Zhang Xu was missing.

Zhang Xu stood up and barely supported Cui Hao to move a few steps forward.

"I'm in so much pain, do you have any medicine? Can you bandage it for me? ”

I gave this job to Cui Hao.

At the same time, he was vigilant against the dense forest around him, for fear that the two-meter-tall carrion corpse would appear.

Wang Wangyang leaned into my ear.

"You say, could that so-called rotting corpse be controlled by Zhang Ji, so he suddenly led me here. But such a person doesn't make sense, if Zhang Ji is determined to kill Zhang Xu, why let a rotting corpse lead the way for us? Wouldn't it be simpler to do it quietly? ”

I shook my head, and that was the question in my mind.

If I had to explain it clearly, there would be only one plausible reason.

"Maybe it was because he estimated the time and wanted us to find Zhang Xu's body, so he sent the rotting corpse, but I didn't expect Zhang Xu to have the ability to resist, so he delayed for a while, but instead let us find it back."

Although this reason seems reasonable, I actually don't believe that it is the reason.

The two of us looked at each other, and after one look at each other, we both withdrew our gazes.

We all know that this reason sounds strange and doesn't make sense.

"Bandaged, we can go."

Cui Hao's shout came from behind us.

When he looked back, Zhang Xu had been wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, and his wounds were bandaged.

I nodded and waved at the two of them.

"We are exploring the road in front, Cui Hao, you support Zhang Xu to walk behind us, don't get too far away. If you are in danger, you can shout at the first time, and the two of us can come to support immediately. ”

There is not enough manpower, so it can only be arranged in this way.

Cui Hao nodded in agreement, tied the rope to his wrist, and carefully tied a knot on Zhang Xu's hand.

We continued to dress in a string, and we felt forward in twos and twos.

We came to the lake again.

My golden thread is still floating above the surface of the lake, and the blisters in the middle of the lake are still bulging and bursting.

Everything was exactly the same as when we first arrived.

I swung Shang Fang's sword and slashed at the surface of the lake.

The ripples on the surface of the water exploded, and black droplets of water splattered in all directions.

As the calm of the lake was broken, the bubble in the center suddenly retreated a few inches, as if frightened.

In the next second, the blister burst through the surface of the lake and struck towards the river bank at an extremely ferocious speed.

"Be careful, don't go out of the way."

I shouted behind me, let Cui Hao be optimistic about Zhang Xu, I am going to take Wang Wangyang to meet the things under the lake.

However, the moment I raised Shang Fang's sword again, a huge force suddenly came from behind me, and it pushed me forward.

In the next second, the soles of my feet were unstable, and the person planted directly towards the black pool.
