Chapter Ninety-Four: The Exchange Between the Sides
Old man Zhang stared at a few of us with cold eyes, and the rotting corpses were overwhelmingly attacking us.
"Be careful to get out of the way."
Zhang Ji shook his head, and several carrion corpses pounced on him head-on.
I took out a Tongbao ancient coin and threw it into the eyes of the rotting corpse.
The copper coin entered the flesh, and the carrion took a few steps back, clutching its cheeks and howling loudly.
I dragged Zhang Ji to my side.
He struggled hard, and kept squeezing towards Zhang Xu's side.
"Don't touch me, let me pass, I'll save my brother."
I grabbed his arm to the death, didn't give him a chance to break free, seized the scimitar in his hand, and threw the injured Zhang Ji to Wang Wangyang and Cui Hao.
"Hold him down, don't let him run around."
Cui Hao nodded, took out the psychedelic powder in the glass cup, and sprinkled it on his face.
In the next second, Zhang Ji's eyes were foggy, his body fell to the ground in a flash, and he instantly closed his eyes unconscious.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Zhang Ji fought with the carrion and was injured. Otherwise, he wouldn't be such an easy person to catch.
I held the three of them behind me, took out a cigarette and stuffed it into my mouth, and puffed out a puff of white smoke.
Using my index finger as a guide, I used white smoke to draw runes in mid-air, and the smoke and dust filled the runes around us, condensing into a net-like structure that surrounded us.
The carrion approached the smoke, the runes flickered, and instantly submerged into their bodies.
In just a few moments, after inhaling the thick smoke, the movements of the carrion gradually became stiff and slow, and even a few of the creatures who had already pounced in front of us swayed lightly under their feet, and before they could catch us, they fell to the ground.
Old man Zhang looked surprised and took a half step back.
"Little Manye, it really deserves its reputation. Your one-handed spitting smoke and squeezing the evil was really an eye-opener for me. ”
I pinched my cigarette and stuffed the remaining half back into the case.
This cigarette is not easy to come by.
The production of cigarette powder is extremely cumbersome, and the ashes of the corpse are mixed with yin blood soil, which is used as nourishment, and tobacco leaves are planted in the soil, and then removed from the shade to dry after they are grown.
It is then ground and mashed into a powder that is then injected into cigarettes, where it is roasted at high temperatures and carefully ground with the powder before it is finally made.
The smell of this smoke is completely different from the taste of ordinary tobacco leaves, with a choking smell of fragrant ash, and ordinary people can't suppress this taste at all.
However, because this cigarette gathers three yin things, the ash sprayed out of it becomes yin poison itself, and can be condensed into runes in mid-air.
This cigarette alone takes nearly half a year to make. Although it can be produced in large quantities, the slightest carelessness in the middle of the cigarette will greatly reduce the effectiveness of cigarettes.
It took me a year to make a dozen of them, and if it weren't for the large number of carrion corpses I encountered today, I would not have been willing to use them.
I stared at Old Man Zhang.
"Old man Zhang, let's not talk darkly. I didn't mean to go against you, I just wanted to bring our friends back. Why don't you sell me face, I won't embarrass you, you put our friends back, and we will go our separate ways, what do you think? ”
I stared at Old Man Zhang's side, for fear that he would run away from me.
This guy is scheming and extremely meticulous.
I have no doubt that if he escapes from us, the dense forest is deep and deep, and it will not be easy to find him again.
Old man Zhang stared at me with a sneer.
"Little Man, what you said is not right. I paid such a big price, and you sent me away with such a sentence, my loss is too great, right? ”
I didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and stood tightly in front of the three of them.
"So what do you want to do?"
Old man Zhang's eyes rolled, and his gaze quickly fell on my chest.
"Little Manye, I just saw that you seem to have a treasure on you, if you are willing to give me your sword, then I will return this person to you. And I also promise you that it will be returned to you in absolute condition, and I can also take out the contents of his body. ”
Shang Fang Sword.
This guy wants a cold sword that I brought out of the ground.
I drew Shang Fang's sword and cautiously looked it from head to toe.
This thing is indeed a treasure, but it is also a scourge.
If it weren't for this sword, I wouldn't have been the shell of that so-called king.
If I throw this Shang Fang sword to Old Man Zhang, maybe I can reverse my fate and let Old Man Zhang bear the wrath of the king.
Thinking of this, I already have a decision in my heart.
Just as I drew my sword, there was a hint of greed in Old Man Zhang's eyes.
Apparently he was extremely interested in what I had in my hands.
I looked at Old Man Zhang and nodded directly.
"Old man Zhang, I can give you something. But I must see your sincerity. ”
I pointed at Zhang Xu.
"You should restore him to his original state now, and we will hand over things with one hand and people with the other."
With that, I threw the scabbard over.
"I didn't mean to joke with you, as long as you restore it to normal now, I will give you the sword immediately. My little man speaks loudly and definitely doesn't fool people. ”
Old man Zhang looked me up and down with a gloomy expression, and finally nodded at me.
"Okay, Xiao Manye, I believe in your character. Then you please. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Zhang stretched out his hand violently and slapped Zhang Xu on the back of his neck.
He held out two fingers.
His appearance is extremely slender, especially the joint between the index finger and middle finger, which is half an inch longer than the average person.
The two fingers directly sank into the flesh and blood on the back of Zhang Xu's neck, and then pulled it outward.
A wriggling, oval-shaped intestine-like thing was dragged out of Zhang Xu's body by Old Man Zhang.
He pulled out a wooden box, opened the lid of the box, and threw it directly into the wooden box.
And at the moment when Old Man Zhang pulled things out, Zhang Xu lost his strength, rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Old man Zhang, what did you do?"
I saw Zhang Xu, who fainted on the ground, and a sense of uneasiness arose.
Old man Zhang said to me with a smile.
"Don't worry, he's just fainted."
As he spoke, Old Man Zhang reached out again, put his fingers into the back of Zhang Xu's neck, and according to the method just now, he took out two blood-red intestine-like substances.
This thing was still writhing and struggling when it was taken out.
I vaguely saw that above the blood-red intestine-like substance, there were countless silk threads and filaments, like hair strands, connected into a dense network of substance.
It's just that before I could see it clearly, Old Man Zhang directly threw all this thing into the wooden box.
Then, Old Man Zhang closed the lid of the wooden box.
I could clearly hear a scream coming from inside the box, a shrill scream.
But it was soon blocked by the wooden box and completely disappeared in front of us.
Old man Zhang smiled lightly.
Then he grabbed Zhang Xu on the ground, took out a water bottle from his waist, and threw it at Zhang Xu's face.
There was a bang.
Zhang Xu was splashed with water, and he slowly opened his eyes with a cleverness.
"Zhang Xu, can you hear me?"
I yelled at Zhang Xu.
He turned his head to look at me in confusion and nodded at me slightly.
His lips seemed unusually dry, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Little Manye, I can hear you."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Old man Zhang stared greedily at the Shang Fang sword in my hand, lifted Zhang Xu vigorously and walked a few steps towards me.
I flickered and looked to the ground.
Many of the carrion corpses that had been knocked to the ground by my smoke runes had disappeared by this time.
Just now, when I was paying all my attention to Old Man Zhang, a few black shadows sneaked out of the forest next to me.
They quickly dragged the carrion on the ground into the nearby woods, hid and disappeared in front of us.
At this time, there were only three or four bodies left on the ground around us.
This old man is really insidious, and his methods are extremely strong.
In just an instant, all these rotting corpses were stolen and transported away.
At this time, Old Man Zhang had already walked in front of me and pushed people to my side.
"Little Manye, I have already brought it to you, and you will not break your promise and not give me anything, right?"
I directly grabbed Zhang Xu by the collar and dragged the person in front of me.
At the same time, I shook my hand vigorously and threw Shang Fang's sword towards Old Man Zhang's back.
"If you want a sword, you can get it yourself, and now let me go."
I was afraid that Old Man Zhang would make a bad move, so I made a layout in advance and threw the sword behind him.
Old man Zhang was honest this time, quickly turned around and rushed towards the sword, let go of his hand and pushed Zhang Xu in front of me.
I put my arms around Zhang Xu's body and checked the back of his neck as soon as possible.
The carrion that used to writhe there has completely disappeared.
Although Zhang Xu's body was trembling with pain, his eyes were exceptionally clear.
When he looked at me, he looked a little guilty and grateful.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I'm not worth it. ”
He reluctantly looked back at Old Man Zhang.
At this time, Old Man Zhang had already picked up my Shang Fang sword, and quickly pinched it in his hand and looked it up and down.
Old man Zhang's face was full of fanaticism.
"Good things, they really deserve to be ancient treasures, and today's things belong to my old man."
Zhang Xu looked back at me again and said apologetically.
"You shouldn't save me, this thing is worth more than me, and it's not worth it at all to exchange this treasure for my little life."
I waved his hand so he didn't have to take it to heart.
Originally, I wanted to throw off this sword, but in fact, Old Man Zhang's move happened to fulfill my heart.
"Stop talking this nonsense, come and see your brother, if it weren't for him this time, we wouldn't have been able to save you so quickly."
