Chapter 34: Tracking
Gu Qing didn't look at Xu slowly, but looked up at a big willow tree by the river. On the thick branches, the carcass of a pig is hanging at this moment.
From a distance, it looks like a figure.
The pig carcass was still very swollen in the dark night, and the skin revealed between the gaps in the hair had a purple-black luster.
The pig's mouth was open, and Gu Qing could clearly see that its oral mucosa was congested, and a hook nailed the pig's head firmly to the branch of the willow tree. The pig's eyes were also full of blood, and his eyeballs became very large, staring at Gu Qing's courtyard gate faintly, as if it was still alive.
Xu said slowly: "It did it." ”
Gu Qing said: "Zombies?"
Xu nodded slowly and said, "You reminded me to go to the city before, and I found out that the epidemic you mentioned is indeed related to demons. That's spread through pork. I have already notified the government through special channels and asked them to take precautions against the epidemic. ”
Gu Qing said: "I was making a swine fever some time ago, is it related to this incident?"
Xu said slowly: "I didn't pay attention to this matter before, in fact, according to my current speculation, when the demon woke up, it was still very weak, it recovered some strength by spreading swine fever, and now it is targeting the people in the city, if the epidemic expands, it will recover more strength." At that point, it will be difficult for us to fight it. ”
Gu Qing said: "Spreading the epidemic will help the demon recover?"
Xu said slowly: "I don't know the specific principle, this is all my guess through the codex left by Wang Yu's predecessors." And demons are usually very bigoted and very attached to hatred. Now I have to tell you another thing, the descendants of the king's predecessors may now be completely one of the demons, you should have hurt it last time, and now it wants to take revenge on you. This pig corpse is its warning to you. ”
Gu Qing said: "So, its self-awareness is still very strong?"
Xu said slowly: "There is another possibility, that is, the demon behind it instructed it to do it." In any case, we need to find them quickly, otherwise they may cause more harm. ”
Gu Qing said: "Do you have a way now?"
Xu said slowly: "Although it has some residual breath, it should have gone far now, and it is difficult for me to find it again." ”
She then sighed, "It's a pity that my injuries are not yet complete, otherwise I could have used the wind escape just now, and maybe I would have caught up with it." ”
Gu Qing said: "Feng Dun, is this your special ability?"
He remembered that day he saw Xu slowly and lightly leap into the high wall of the yamen.
Xu said slowly: "This ability is not special, it is to communicate the power of the wind between heaven and earth, so that I can become lighter and faster, and even when my ability is strong enough, I can resist the wind." A practitioner who is strong enough to do something similar can do something similar. If you want to know more, I'll explain it to you later. Now we have to find a way to find the descendants of the king's predecessors. ”
Gu Qing looked at the pig corpse on the willow tree and said, "Maybe I have a way." ”
He then added, "You go into the courtyard." ”
Xu slowly didn't know what Gu Qing meant, but he still did it.
Gu Qing bent down, picked up a stone, and shot it towards the pig corpse.
The stone poked a hole in the carcass, and then a jet of green juice hit the dirt on the ground, and soon the carcass was reduced to a single skin.
The sap seeped into the soil and quickly disappeared, but the weeds on the soil also withered in an instant, and it was obvious that the juice was highly poisonous.
Gu Qing approached the willow tree very cautiously, and at the same time tore off a strip of cloth from his body and wrapped it in his left hand, then climbed up the trunk from behind the hanging pigskin, and carefully cut the hook with the red fish, the pigskin fell to the ground, and the two eyeballs rolled down, suddenly bursting open, and a black mist appeared.
Gu Qing used his left hand to wrap the strip of cloth to pull out the hook, exert force under his feet, and jumped far away and fell, the huge force hit the ground, and the dirt splashed everywhere.
At the same time, the black mist slowly dispersed, holding its breath and retreating.
He didn't go back until he was sure that the black fog had completely dispersed, and the trunk of the willow tree was a large black patch, apparently caused by the black fog.
Gu Qing walked back to the courtyard gate, and Xu slowly saw the scene of the outside world inside the door just now.
She was a little scared and said, "I didn't expect the pig corpse to be not only a warning, but also a trap, are you okay?" ”
Gu Qing said: "It's very insidious and cunning, but it still leaves flaws. ”
Xu said slowly: "What flaw?"
Gu Qing said: "I'll chase it first, why don't you go back to Fang Mansion first." ”
He tossed the hook he had torn off and the strip of cloth he had wrapped around his hands to the ground.
Gu Qing wrapped his hands in a strip of cloth just in case, after all, if there was a poison on the hook that could cause him harm, it would be a troublesome matter.
Although he has reached the second layer of mixed yuan boy skill, it can be said that he has copper skin and iron bones, and it is difficult for the toxins outside to penetrate into his body through the skin. But after all, it is not the fourth layer of Mixed Yuan Boy Gong, and it can cover the surface of the body with its pale golden internal strength, forming a perfect protection for itself.
When he walked back to the courtyard gate just now, he used his sense of smell, which was now sharper than that of a hound, to distinguish the smell from the zombie monster.
He can start tracking.
Xu said slowly: "Gu Gongzi, you can take me, with me, I will definitely be able to catch it." ”
Gu Qing said, "Can you keep up with me?" After all, your injuries are not yet complete. ”
"You carry me. When she finished speaking, her face turned crimson and she lowered her head.
Gu Qing was stunned.
Xu slowly took a deep breath and said, "I saw your action just now to dodge that black mist, so I know that with your physical fitness, even if you carry me, your speed will not be much slower." And as soon as you find a monster, you can put me down, I have a way to deal with it. ”
She paused, and then said, "Actually, I'm really light. ”
Gu Qing said: "I agreed." ”
Xu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, she had another reason, that is, the monster was the descendant of the king's predecessors, and she still hoped that it could leave this world with dignity.
However, Xu slowly didn't have time to reply, Gu Qing's two hands had already clasped her thighs, Xu slowly lifted his feet off the ground, the wind was whirring in his ears, and he subconsciously lay on Gu Qing's back, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated, like clouds driving through the fog.
Although in the past, when she used to cast the wind escape, it was even faster than this, but it felt completely different.
Gu Qing's hair hit her face, and it actually hurt a little.
It seems that Gu Qing is full of strength even in his hair.
She buried her face, and there was not only the sound of the wind in her ears, but also the sound of Gu Qing's strong heartbeat, and even the sound of blood flowing, like a rushing river.
"Gu Gongzi is really a man who makes people feel very secure. Xu slowly had a thought in his heart, and quickly pinched it away.
If she hadn't suffered that accident and became a psychic, she would still be an innocent girl, and she would definitely like Gu Qing very much.
But now she doesn't want to bother others.
