Chapter 125. Tricks don't work
After eating the steamed bun pickles, it was almost dark. Wuhan is a big city, and even in those days, it was a very important strategic city in the Yangtze River basin. It was the first time I had been so deliberate to enjoy the night view of the city, and I suddenly realized that I had never seen the beauty of the city seriously in the three years I had been here.
It's a little different from my hometown, it's flat and has some small hills. And my hometown, the whole city constitutes a mountain, and the so-called night view is also equally divided.
It will be very cold by the river at night, in order not to attract the attention of others, we did not raise the fire, Qin Bukong has been sleeping wrapped in clothes since he finished eating, and the snoring can be heard clearly even by the river. He seems to have put some things on the back burner, and the main purpose of coming here is not to find the box, but to fight the Lu.
At ten o'clock in the evening, I also wanted to sleep a little, Songzi's ability was limited, and Qin Bukong and I had to stay awake alone. So I told Matsuko to let him rest for a while, and while I was still strong for a while, I would be replaced later. So Songzi also began to nap on Qin Bukong's side, and I was like a sentry, dangling and pacing in front of the old pedestal, so that I would not doze off if I sat still.
After another two hours, the lights of the houses on the other side of the river were almost all gone, and our only light came from the street lamps on the bridge, which were quiet all around, except for the occasional train passing under the bridge overhead, pressed against the tracks, and then reverted to deathly silence as the sound faded away.
I thought to myself that it was almost time for Qin Bukong to get up and change shifts, because he had been sleeping since dinner until now, more than six hours, and I thought that it was enough to be energetic, and I was sleepy, and I couldn't hold on. So I walked over to wake him up, but at this moment, I heard a "gw... Boom... "The guttural voice of the glottis was lowered.
I immediately became alert and involuntarily looked in the direction where the sound came from, but I didn't wake Qin Bukong because I had to determine what was going on first. I used to flee in the countryside, and when I walked at night, I occasionally encountered some unfriendly dogs, especially black dogs, hiding in the night I couldn't see where it was, but the deep guttural voice made me feel that danger was approaching.
But when I followed the sound and looked over, there was an extremely faint light, and I seemed to see a black shadow like an animal, which was about twenty or thirty meters away from us, crawling slowly towards us, but in size it was much larger than a dog, as if it were the size of a panther. Although I had some foreboding in my heart, I couldn't mess with myself at the moment, so I slowly reached into my satchel, felt the flashlight, and aimed at the black shadow at the moment I took it out.
When the beam of my flashlight hit the dark shadow, it was clearly frightened by the light, but the flinch was only fleeting, and it began to lie on the ground and lunge towards us, and it was almost halfway through the rush that I could see the guy's appearance. On the whole, it was still in the form of a human being, except that the proportions of the human body were much more incongruously elongated, and it had a face that looked like that of a woman, but because it was so dark that I could only distinguish it from the outline, the hair was very long, and the hair was scattered, and the hair fluttered in the air as it crawled and ran. And it doesn't seem to be wearing clothes, but the skin around it looks like a coal digger is dark, and dry and flabby, the most strange thing for me is that it only has one hand and one foot, and the position of the hands and feet is not like a normal person on both sides of the torso, but on the chest and crotch, the hands are quite short but the palms are large, the feet are very long, almost half of the body, the feet are anti-bones, not like humans, more like the anti-joints of cats, dogs and livestock.
Under the light of my flashlight, it has increased its speed a lot, but it is much heavier than the "Xiao" in the previous level. Almost like what we had encountered in each level before, it emitted a faint black smoke all over it, as if all the ghosts in this formation were like this. I knew it was the "Lu", and although it wasn't as hideous and terrifying as I had imagined, it had a fierce expression as if we were its blood vendettas, and it looked like it had to kill us.
I stretched out my foot to lift Qin Bukong's shoulder, and shouted loudly while kicking, Qin Bukong! Pine nut! Get up! Appeared! Qin Bukong and Songzi woke up suddenly, Qin Bukong didn't look at his age, he slept quite heavily just now, this one got up quite quickly. Songzi suddenly retreated farther away, I saw Qin Bukong stand up, and was about to ask him what to do now, this guy is only ten meters away from us, Qin Bukong said to me, you move to the right, I face the left, whoever is chased will hide, and the rest will be beaten.
Qin Bukong's tone was very calm when he said this, and in fact, leading this guy to appear was also the purpose of our stay here for the night, it can be seen that he has already made plans and preparations, and an old Jianghu like Qin Bukong, it seems that making such a decision must be the best way at this moment. There is only one enemy, and there is no historical record that "Lu" will also transform into a clone, and this is not Journey to the West. If the three of us are scattered, even if we want to attack, we can only choose one, judging from the speed of its running, it is actually not much faster than the living people, this place is open enough, there is still a way to dodge.
So I immediately retreated to the side, and at this moment the distance between me and Qin Bukong was about seven or eight meters, and the pine nuts were behind us, and the three of us formed a triangle.
But the "Lu" seemed to have a goal, and when I stepped away from the side, it actually adjusted its direction and ran straight towards me, and when it was about five meters away from me, it began to open its mouth wide and let out the roar of a broken tongue, and this mouth I was immediately afraid, because it was a very large mouth, I couldn't believe that someone's mouth could grow so big, as if it could swallow my whole head with a bite of me. I was scared, but the plan still couldn't be messed up, so I started to run farther away, and when I ran, I took out the scimitar and the division order, planning to wait until I couldn't dodge, I could only use attack instead of defense, as long as I could force the other party to slow down for a while, it would leave Qin Bukong a chance.
And I also knew that Qin Bukong was also chasing me in my direction when I was escaping. Lu crawled and ran like a beast, but the speed was indeed faster than mine, and when I escaped close to ten meters, I had a premonition that I was about to be caught, maybe it was time to start resisting, so I immediately turned around, and instead rushed towards Lu, chanting a curse in my heart to open the scimitar in my right hand, and the division order in my left hand was also ready to be launched, just wait for it to get closer, first restrain its only hand and foot, so that it could lose its mobility, but when I swung a knife towards its forelimbs, This guy actually used his hind limbs to support himself, and then the big hand with long pointed nails on his forelimbs grabbed the blade of my scimitar at once.
When I was caught, it was as if I had slashed into the wood, and the blade was still stuck, and I couldn't get the knife out after several attempts, but this guy grabbed the knife with his bare hands, as if he didn't suffer any injuries, which meant that the scimitar's attack had no effect on it. This surprised me a little, even if the damage was relatively weak before, it would never be ineffective to move forward, so that my chances of winning against it were not big in an instant. In desperation, I stabbed the sharp end of the Shimen Order towards the back of the hand that grabbed the blade of my sword, but this time, the shock made my arm numb, as if I was using a chisel on a big stone, and even felt the other party's skin harder than a stone.
Now I was a little desperate, the two magic weapons that I was proud of failed at the same time in just a moment, and I became a lamb to the slaughter, just as I was about to let go of the hand holding the scimitar and escape, this guy grabbed the blade of the knife before me and pulled me violently in his direction.
This time I was caught off guard, even if I let go of my hand when I was pulled, but because of this strong inertia, I hit Lu's stomach at once, and when I hit it, the touch seemed to have a certain softness, I immediately waved the master's order and stabbed it, thinking that maybe the soft leather was easier to pierce. But when my master's order touched the skin on its stomach, although it pierced a lot, it couldn't use its strength, as if there was an extremely tough skin, tough enough to even block sharp objects, I seemed to be pierced into the tire of a car, and the power in my hand was quickly removed by this elastic force, and then the forward force couldn't stop the power it was rebounding, and my hand bounced out of my stomach at once, and the force was so great that I couldn't even grasp the master's order. The Master Order fell to the ground almost two meters away from me.
And I struggled to pick up the master's order, and I didn't struggle anymore when the scimitar was caught, anyway, it only had one hand, and grabbing the blade at least limited the mobility of its only hand, and it couldn't be said that it was useless. But just as I was about to rush over to pick up the order, I found that I was sticking to my back on its stomach, as if something was sticking to it, and this sticking force was like sticking directly to my skin through my clothes.
