Chapter Twenty-Four: Heavenly Ghost Corpse IV
What the hell is this!
I jumped away from the small mountain of maggots on the ground, and focused on the monster at the end of the tree, when the woods were already pitch black, and there was still some faint light on the top of the tree, but I couldn't see it very clearly.
Probably my movements under the tree caught its attention, and it suddenly stopped screaming, tilted its head, and looked at me with a large white eye. At this time, its head was a little pitted, like the head of a toad, and like the head of a snake, and there was no anger in its eyes, but it was cold. Its lower body was completely a spotted snake, about the thickness of a human's calf, and it wriggled around on a black branch.
If it weren't for my eyes staring at it, it would have stopped making people unaware of its existence, and even if they did, they would have mistaken it for a curved branch.
Suddenly, it lifted its head upwards and rushed towards me from the tree, and although the low black tree was not tall, it would also take advantage of the terrain to swoop down and move like a wind, but it was several times faster than before.
I only felt that there was another gust of wind above my head, and I saw the position under its neck, and the big broadknife in my left hand had already slashed at it, and with a "bang", this knife was slashing at its neck, but I was surprised to find that the blade slashed at its snake body only made its downward dive direction deviate, and did not break its flesh. After eating my knife, its head turned, and it no longer rushed down, but opened its big mouth but bit the tip of the big broadknife, and with a "dang" sound, the tip of the big broadknife was bitten off by it.
Before I could react, it had turned around and coiled back into the tree.
What a speed!
I was about to retreat when suddenly a scream came from the tree, and it leaned down again, but instead of coming at me, the seven-foot-long body of the snake suddenly slipped into the black silk net that hung in the air.
There were still the corpses of the two wolf clansmen lying in the black net, stacked on top of each other, and the monster rushed into the black net, and the branches hanging on the black net seemed to be unable to bear the weight, trembling and trembling, and even swaying from side to side with the big net.
When it fell into the black net, I had already flashed backwards, and with a lift of my left hand, the broadsword with the tip of the knife was once again erected in front of my chest.
What does it want to do?
I'm a little baffled. At its current speed, I won't be able to catch up with it if I want to escape, and getting into the black net now is tantamount to binding myself.
I was thinking about it, but I heard a "click", and it actually bit off the head of one of the wolf clansmen above, and then the snake tail under it suddenly seemed to have eyes, and it slammed into the broken neck of the wolf clansman.
The Celestial Wolf Clan was already dead, and his head was bitten off by it, and there was no blood in his chest, but the body shook involuntarily by its snake body. Almost instantly, its entire snake body burrowed into the body of the Celestial Wolf Clan, and a large amount of blood still overflowed from the man's neck, and even the minced flesh in his body was squeezed out a lot. The corpse shook in the net for a moment, and the originally dead Celestial Wolf Clan suddenly sat up.
My heart tightened.
This strange ghost boy actually took the corpse of a man like this! It still had the tip of the knife in its mouth, and its newfound body was like a puppet, sitting in the net and writhing mechanically.
It just now leaned down to get my body, but I had a knife in my hand and forced it back, so it chose the dead Celestial Wolf clansman.
By this time, the sky had turned blue, and wisps of moonlight were falling from the treetops. The blood that had spilled from the corpse of the Celestial Wolf Clan was flowing on the maggots under the large net, causing the maggots on the ground to squirm, and the smell of blood spread.
I was shocked, but not to the point of panic, compared to the fish-headed monster of the Death Swamp and the spirit snake, this ghost boy was not enough to make me feel at a loss. It's just that I'm still shocked, it seems that this ghost boy is undoubtedly raised by the Miluo clan to guard this place, from the weirdness of its body and the attack methods, it can really be called a difficult ghost boy, and even I faintly feel that it is more weird than the big-headed ghost baby of Yang Zhixing and the mandrill of Black Wind Ridge.
The Miluo tribe is a medium-sized tribe in the Western Regions, and it is impossible for the clan to raise such a ghost boy alone, I am afraid that there will be more ghost boys. It's just that just the ghost boy who guards the territory has such ability, so how weird will the witchcraft of that dark wizard of the Miro clan be?
And its appearance is really like a walking corpse.
If you don't look at its head, it looks like a living person standing there, but the body it got is much more bloated than the previous one, its limbs seem to be stiff, and its belly bulges like a barrel.
Probably, that's because this corpse lacks maggots on the ground? This is very similar to the mandrill in the Black Wind Ridge, the mandrill's body is stuffed with Gu worms, and it is much larger than the average mandrill, not only has great strength, but also has a fast speed. I'm afraid this is the advantage of the ghost boy, and this ghost boy of the Miro tribe is no exception.
As soon as it stood up straight, it turned to me, still tilting its head slightly, one eye as cold as ice. And its body aligned with me, and its two arms were raised mechanically, as if ready to pounce.
I threw away the broadsword in my hand, and my right hand habitually leaned back, and my hand was already on the animal skin that wrapped the hilt of the Shadow Chasing Sword. An ordinary sword can't hurt it, and the shadow chasing sword is blowing hair and breaking hair, and with the strength of my right arm now, it must not be able to stop it. While it's not quite used to that body, it's not hard for me to cut off its head, and if it's fast enough, I can kill it with a single move!
These thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, and I didn't hesitate anymore, and as soon as my feet tightened, my right hand was about to pull out the shadow chasing sword.
Before I could draw my shadow chasing sword, a hollow sound suddenly sounded in the depths of the forest, a spear whistled, and nailed to the ground two feet to my side with a "poof", and then, there was a loud shout from all around, and clusters of torches gradually lit up from the black forest in the distance.
The people of the Miro tribe are coming?
This kind of change came suddenly, and I couldn't help but pause, and retreated out of the forest. As far as the eye could see, the fire in the depths of the dim black forest was like a glowing fire, lined up in the distance, and I don't know how many people came. As he was retreating, there was another loud roar in the distance, and the sound continued to be like a belt, like a play's evil roar and scream, resounding throughout the woods. However, the corpse standing under the net heard this as if it had received some order, and its body froze, and then it turned and rushed towards the place where the fire was surging.
Although it was a newly acquired body, its speed did not decrease, and as before, its body almost clinged to the ground and darted, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the forest.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Nagu also ran over with someone. Several people had already set up torches in their hands, and as soon as they came to my side, Nagu carefully pulled my clothes, but his face was bright, and said, "Friend Gu, you are not injured, are you?"
I stepped forward and picked up the big broadsword, shook my head, and said, "I'm fine." What the hell is that thing, sir? ”
Nagu looked at the deep forest and said: "I don't know very well, that ghost boy is a python, he likes to devour living things, it is an extremely insidious thing, I have seen this kind of ghost boy before, and the Miluo clan is also using this kind of ghost boy to guard the territory." It's just that now that it can drive human corpses, I don't know what's going on, probably a newly refined ghost boy from Nazabal. As he spoke, he patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Gu Youren's kung fu is quite good, no matter how vicious the python is, it has been forced to reveal its original form, hehe." ”
To be able to entangle with such a ghost boy for so long and have the upper hand, in the eyes of a group of people in Nagu, it is really a great thing, I can't talk about any pride, I still think about the dark wizard Zabar, the ghost boy he refined can drive dead corpses, it is really weird, but I heard Nagu suddenly whispered: "The people of the Miro tribe are here." Friends, stand back and act according to the plan we have previously discussed. ”
A group of people from the depths of the black forest had already gathered around us, and it was too dark to see how many there were, but there were nearly a hundred of them. Hearing Nagu whisper, I felt as if I was planning some kind of conspiracy with him, I didn't say anything more, just nodded, and stood with a dozen or so Heavenly Wolf clansmen behind me.
As soon as we came to a stand, the group had come close to us, and stopped fifty paces ahead.
In the darkness, a group of people dressed in thick bone armor came.
I looked sideways through the cracks, and I could see very clearly under the torches they raised, and I saw that the faces of the men were also painted with fancy paint, and in the front row of men there was a curved spear that looked like a whole animal bone, and the tip of the spearhead was a small piece of blue light, as if it had been smeared with venom. The bone armor they wore was very large, but it was not tightly sewn, and they draped it over their bodies, as if they were hiding in the skeleton of an animal. The fire flickered and flickered, and a group of people just stood there with an indescribable gloom.
They had half-surrounded us at the edge of the Black Forest, and not far behind us was the cliff.
There was a tall man in the crowd with two skulls hanging on his chest, he held a long knife with a strange curve in one hand, and a torch in the other, but he walked under the black net and stopped, he looked at the pile of maggots on the ground, and the long knife pointed at us, and suddenly shouted loudly.
His own ghost boy was beaten out of his body, and he was very annoyed when he thought about it. I saw Nagu take a step forward, said a long word, pointed to the dead body of the Celestial Wolf Clan remaining in the black web, felt a bone tooth from his arms, and said another obscure word with his hands dancing.
I couldn't understand what was being said by the two of them, but it was not hard to guess from the way Nagu looked that he was explaining to the man what had happened and why we had come to visit the Miro.
