After a closer look, this time it was not the wooden man corresponding to a few of them.

"Hemp, I'm scared to death."

Duan Jiang scolded and kicked the wooden man who was asking for help back into the grass.

But on the next road, he only felt more and more tired, and he slowly couldn't keep up with the footsteps of a few people.

The middle-aged uncle was the first to find out that Duan Jiang had fallen behind, stopped everyone, and wanted a few people to go back to have a look, but Li Huixi and the little girl ignored him at all, and the fox didn't say a word from beginning to end.

In fact, Li Huixi had already discovered Duan Jiang's abnormality, but he didn't bother to care about him.

However, in order to prevent any abnormalities, Li Huixi still gave the fox a look and asked her to blur over to see the situation.

The fox was not ambiguous, and disappeared into the black night in an instant.

I saw the middle-aged uncle running back, but Duan Jiang was sitting on the ground in a daze, and the uncle ran over and found that his ankle was entangled in a branch, so he took the initiative to help him disassemble it.

But Duan Jiang didn't react, just sat there motionless, and the middle-aged uncle also felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, Duan Jiang's face had turned into wood, and the whole person was alienated into a wooden person.

"Ahh

The middle-aged uncle exclaimed, but the two who walked away could no longer hear his screams, only the fox watched all this quietly.

The wooden man Duan Jiang suddenly hugged the middle-aged uncle, like a marionette, wrapped his head around the uncle's neck at an extremely distorted angle, and then bit his artery fiercely.

The middle-aged uncle collapsed to the ground in pain, convulsed all over, and foamed at the mouth of his mouth.

The fox could tell at a glance that he had been poisoned.

And Duan Jiang, who had just been woodened, slowly changed back to his normal human appearance, he patted the ashes on his body, wiped the cold sweat for himself, and repeated in a low voice:

"You sent it yourself, you can't blame me, you can't blame me......"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back, and when he looked for a few people in front of him, he almost tripped over a stone.

After a while, Li Huixi, who was at the front, heard a burst of footsteps behind him, it seemed that he was running all the way, and his speed was very fast, but it was worse than a fox.

The fox had already told Li Huixi everything just now in advance, and the reason why he didn't tell the little girl was that Li Huixi also wanted to know what was so special about this child.

The farther you go, the denser the trees become, and their appearance changes, from emerald green and brownish-gray branches to blood-colored trunks, and the leaves become black.

If the trees were originally made from human skin, they were more like entrails or flesh.

The smell of the woods also changed from fresh to fishy, and there seemed to be a heart beating in each tree, and their resonance could be faintly heard.

The path of several people was blocked by a towering ancient tree, different from other blood trees, this one was not only very ancient and huge, but also had many beating hearts at the same time, and there was also a gum belonging to plants flowing out between the flesh and blood, slippery and sticky, very disgusting.

"Is it the source of a strange disease?"

When the little girl finally spoke, Li Huixi knew that she was asking herself, so she replied:

"Probably not, you see, there are limbs of branches around, I think this is a plant that grows from a combination of many dead people, maybe this is the mass grave of the villagers when the strange disease first broke out."

The little girl nodded, took off the headphones, and said to Li Huixi while taking them off:

"My name is Qin Ling......"

But the moment the headphones were completely taken off, her expression changed, and she stopped halfway through speaking.

Qin Ling suddenly looked back with a serious expression, behind him, Li Huixi and the fox were standing in a line, and further back, it was Duan Jiang, he hadn't said a word since he returned to the team, he had been keeping his head down at the end of the team, his movements were a little stiff, but no one cared at the time.

Qin Ling suddenly raised his hand towards Li Huixi, Li Huixi recognized the gesture at a glance, it was the one she used when she stopped Duan Jiang at the beginning, Li Huixi didn't understand why she wanted to use it against herself, so she was also ready for battle, and her hand touched the short knife in her arms.

But Qin Ling's target was not her, Li Huixi was stunned for a second, and found that he was not controlled, but he also took advantage of the situation to pull out the short knife, and subconsciously glanced back.

I don't know when, the middle-aged uncle has caught up with a few people, and Duan Jiang has long been gone, but this middle-aged uncle is not the one they remember, he looks like a wooden man completely, compared with the batch that will not attack at the beginning, this one is extremely fine and aggressive.

Fortunately, Qin Ling fixed him, otherwise his poisonous fangs would have bitten into Li Huixi's neck.

Because the other party was not a living thing, Li Huixi didn't feel that there was something behind her, but fortunately, Qin Ling found out in time and saved her life.

Li Huixi, who calmed down, was not only a little grateful to this child in his heart, but also his heart sounded at the same time:

"She noticed movement behind her just when she took off her headphones?"

"I guess, maybe the headphones are just to help her stay calm."

"What a scary hearing."

"Don't you think her invisible power is even more fearful?"

"How did she do it......"

"If only you asked her yourself."

"That's not my character."

"Then you'll always be guessing."

"By the way, do you feel a little unwell today?"

"It's a bit overwhelming than usual."

"Maybe it's because I haven't fully recovered from my last injury."

After chatting with himself, Li Huixi also finished observing this wooden figure, and could feel that he was different from the group he encountered at the beginning, he seemed to be alive, rather than simply copying a fake.

Li Huixi was about to touch, trying to learn more about him, but was stopped by Qin Ling.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Huixi found that he was about to touch the wooden man's hand and suddenly there was resistance, which appeared with Qin Ling's words, but his mouth could still move:

"Let me go...... I don't want to repeat it a second time. ”

"Don't touch it, I won't repeat it a second time. He has a curse on him. ”

Li Huixi put down her hand, listened to Qin Ling's suggestion, walked up to her side and asked her:

"Cursed?"

Qin Ling didn't talk nonsense, and stretched out her right hand, only to see that her palm also showed signs of woodenness.

Li Huixi felt a little strange, but before she could ask a question, Qin Ling gave her the answer:

"Since I was a child, I have been able to absorb the various attributes of the living things around me, hearing, eyesight, strength, and even disease, and although I can't actively cancel this strange absorption ability, I later discovered that I can control the extent to which it."

"So what does this have to do with what curse you have in your mouth?"

"Later, I found out that I was not absorbing other people's attributes, but the curses on their bodies, the reason why my hearing will grow, is because I will automatically curse the people around me, so as to steal something from them, on the contrary, the curses on their bodies will also be synchronized to me, I think you should have also found out, my state today is a little poor."

Li Huixi nodded, and only then did he understand why Qin Ling could stop other people's actions, it turned out that it was just to increase the degree of the curse.

As for this strange disease, it may be the same as she said, it is a curse, in a sense, she saved her own life again.

And the wooden man in front of him, if nothing else, is the middle-aged uncle himself, the same as the words conveyed by the fox, but I didn't expect him to be able to chase here.

In return, Li Huixi informed Qin Ling of this information and briefly introduced himself to her.
