Chapter Ninety-One: The Survivor's Refuge
The speed of the arrow is very fast, and it can be seen from the golden light emitted from it that the power of this arrow is not bad; Lin Xuanqing and Marita were both startled by this sudden arrow, and when they saw the golden light running away silently, the two girls exclaimed in unison, and hurriedly reminded Shen Mo to dodge, but Shen Mo stood still in place.
Although the speed of this arrow is fast, it can be completely dodged with the strength of silence, so why not dodge?
Under the frightened gaze of the second girl, the arrow appeared in front of Shen Mo in an instant, but the picture that appeared in the next second was not that Shen Mo's blood was splashed on the spot, but that the arrow actually grazed Shen Mo's cheek and flew to Shen Mo's rear, and then a penetrating howl sounded.
When Shen Mo turned around, he found that the arrow had pierced the head of a walking corpse that was already close to him.
From the first moment the arrow appeared, Shen Mo saw through the arrow's flight path, and expected that the arrow would never hit him, so he didn't dodge, but what he didn't expect was that it wasn't that the archer's accuracy was too poor, but that the arrow didn't target Shen Mo from the beginning.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that Shen Mo was safe and sound, the second daughter couldn't help but feel relieved, but at the same time, a feeling of doubt quietly crept up to her heart.
Shen Mo looked at the walking corpse who was stabbed by an arrow and struggled on the ground a few times before dying, and said in a calm tone: "The other party should not be an enemy, otherwise it will not be a walking corpse who is hit by an arrow, but me." ”
The three of them turned to look in the direction where the arrow was fired, and saw a dead tree about a hundred meters away, and a man stood on the branch of the tree.
Seeing this man, Shen Mo muttered again in his heart: shooting an arrow from a distance of 100 meters can be accurate enough to pass through his ear without hurting himself in the slightest; how good is this person's archery skills?
Under Shen Mo's gaze, the archer jumped down from the branch and trotted to Shen Mo, and upon closer inspection, he found that the other party was still a beautiful man; he was about the same age as Shen Mo, and there was still a trace of childishness on his face, but the sword eyebrows and star pupils inlaid on his handsome cheeks all showed his heroic appearance.
When he saw the bow in the young man's hand, the silent heartstrings were stirred again, because it was a longbow weighing a hundred stones, and the strength of the young man's arm was really unbelievable to use this kind of bow.
When he looked at the young man silently, the young man was also looking at the young man, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "I kept staring at you just now, and when I saw that you didn't find the walking corpse that was secretly approaching, I was worried that you would be attacked, so I made a rash move, and I didn't scare you." ”
Shen Mo did not answer this question directly, but praised: "Good accuracy, good arm strength, you are the highest archery skill among the people I have ever met." ”
Hearing this, the young man scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I won't do anything else except archery." ”
After speaking, the young man saw that Shen Mo and the three of them were all wounded, he was stunned for a moment, and then quietly pulled out an arrow from the quiver, held it tightly in his hand, pretending to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was a little nervous: "Where did the injuries on your body come from? Could it be that they were left during the battle with the walking corpses?"
Shen Mo shook his head: "No." ”
"Well, I thought you had been poisoned. The boy breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the bow and arrow could not help but let go.
Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Shen Mo and Marita's faces, and Marita deliberately laughed: "Although the wounds on our bodies are not left by the walking corpse, we have indeed been poisoned by the corpse. ”
"Ah?!" The young man's cheeks, which had just softened, instantly tightened, and the bow and arrow in his hand were raised at the same time, aiming at the three silent people, sympathetic and decisive: "Since you have been poisoned by corpses, then I'm sorry, I can't let you become walking corpses." ”
"What are you going to do?" Lin Xuanqing squinted and asked in a cold voice.
As soon as the words fell, the young man's hand holding the tail of the arrow was released, and under the huge force of the bowstring, the arrow flew towards Shen Mo's head with a turbulent current; at such a close distance, Shen Mo couldn't dodge at all, and just when the young man thought that Shen Mo would definitely die, Marita, who was standing next to Shen Mo, suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the arrow directly in her hand, and the tip of the arrow was only an inch away from Shen Mo's eyebrows, but she could no longer do a single thing.
"How is that possible?!" Marita's actions startled the boy, so far, no one has been able to dodge his arrows, and the woman in front of her actually grabbed the arrows with her bare hands, what kind of strength is this?
With a slight movement of Marita's fingers, the arrow broke off at the waist and threw it to the ground, raising her eyebrows, and said angrily: "You kid is too anxious, right?
Although the young man was shocked in his heart, he did not retreat, and retorted sternly: "It is a fact that you have been poisoned by corpses, what else is there to say?!"
"Hey, you kid, I think you're underwhelmed!"
Marita was about to teach this arrogant boy a lesson, but was stopped by Shen Mo, who smiled at the young man: "That's right, we have indeed been poisoned by corpses, but we have been solved." ”
"Who are you fooling, if the corpse poison can be dissolved, how can we become a world of walking corpses?" the young man said emotionally, not completely disbelieving, but not daring and unwilling to believe; after all, if there was really a way to remove the corpse poison, wouldn't it be too unjust for those who he watched turn into walking corpses and be killed by his own arrows.
In order to convince the young man, he silently grabbed Lin Xuanqing's wrist and pulled Lin Xuanqing into his arms, regardless of the panicked Lin Xuanqing's struggle, pointed to the wound on Lin Xuanqing's back and said: "Look, this wound has scabbed, which means that a long time has passed since the time of injury, if our corpse poison had not been resolved, we would have become a walking corpse by now." ”
The young man looked at the wound on Lin Xuanqing's back, and sure enough, as Shen Mo said, his spirit instantly withered for a while, and Mu Ne said: "In this way, didn't I kill a lot of innocent people." ”
Shen Mo pushed away Lin Xuanqing, who was eager to kill him with his eyes, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, we also just know the way to dissolve the corpse poison; ”
"Can you tell me the solution to the corpse poison?" the young man looked at Shen Mo with pleading eyes.
"It's not a big secret, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the way to dissolve ordinary corpse poison is very simple, there is a herb called horseshoe grass growing on the mountain next to Blackwater Village, and it can dissolve corpse poison. Shen Mo said without thinking.
Hearing this, the young man frowned, and said depressedly: "You fool me again, horseshoe grass is obviously a herb for typhoid fever, how can it be possible to dissolve corpse poison." ”
Shen Mo shrugged: "Believe it or not, I've already told you the method anyway." By the way, I would like to ask you something, have you ever seen a group of people, there are six of them, all of them are men. ”
"I did see a few men here just now, they were besieged by the hordes of corpses, and they have been taken away by our captain. ”
Silent for a moment: "Where did you go?"
"Twenty miles to the south, there is a village where temporary fortifications have been built, and the survivors of the area have gathered. ”
"Then why don't you go back with them, what are you doing here?" Lin Xuanqing asked tepidly.
The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the walking corpse that he had just shot, and said: "Of course it is the killing of the walking corpse; since the spread of the corpse poison, we have not seen the army come to suppress it until now, it is estimated that the news has not yet spread, we can't just wait in vain, otherwise once the food and water are consumed, we can only wait for death." ”
Speaking of this, the young man seemed to remember something, and said in confusion: "It's strange to say, at the beginning, the walking corpses were very smart, and we didn't dare to have any contact with them at all, so we could only keep running and hiding, but I don't know what the road is for, since last night, these walking corpses have suddenly become fools, and it is precisely because of this that we dare to come out and hunt the walking corpses." ”
The three of them looked at each other and didn't say anything, but they all knew in their hearts that the reason why these walking corpses had become fools was entirely because the blood demons who controlled them had been killed.
Without the control of the Blood Demon, these walking corpses have turned back into real walking corpses, and they will wander around aimlessly, once they leave the area and are discovered by outsiders, the news will quickly reach the ears of the nobles, and it will not be long before troops will be sent to suppress it, and the whole incident will be solved.
After a brief discussion, the boy agreed to take the three of them to the survivor's shelter;
During the small talk on the road, Shen Mo learned that this young man's name was 'Ni Zhang', his ancestors were hunters for three generations, although he had not attended any academy, but with his self-taught, his strength had reached the late stage of the fourth stage of the Qi Realm, and his comprehension ability was really surprising.
When Shen Mo and the others arrived at their destination, they found that the village, which was temporarily used as a refuge for the survivors, was actually crowded with people, and roughly estimated, there were at least nearly 200 people, of whom the majority were cultivators, and only 30% were women, children, and children.
Everyone saw that Shen Mo and the three were injured, and they were all nervous, and some even took out their weapons, ready to kill the three Shen Mo at any time; fortunately, under Ni Zhang's bitter explanation, everyone let down their guard, and when they heard Ni Zhang say that there was a way to dissolve the corpse poison, the scene couldn't help but explode again.
Everyone's reaction was similar to Ni Zhang's reaction when he first learned about the antidote, except for disbelief and disbelief.
"Don't make a fuss! How can the corpse poison be dissolved? If it could be dissolved, so many people would not have died. ”
"That's it, it's not like I haven't eaten horseshoe grass before, that thing can only cure typhoid fever, how can it be possible to detoxify the corpse. ”
"How do you know that the horseshoe grass can detoxify corpses? You must have deliberately deceived us, right? Say, what are your intentions!"
