Chapter 7 The mysterious swordsman first appears and returns to the woods in search of meteorites

Phantom Xisha lowered his voice and shouted, "Knife, come back." Retreat slowly. ”

The knife slowly retreated, until it was on the ground, and the strange beast just looked at everyone, its eyes were obviously black, but it could give people a bright feeling.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The Black Scale Guard was originally following behind, they turned around and began to walk back cautiously, everyone followed, only Tie Zhongli and Sha Zhantang were still in place, and Phantom Sunset had to urge: "Retreat, retreat!"

His words seemed to have magical power, and Tie Zhongli and Sha Zhantang involuntarily retreated. The Phantom Sunset stayed at the end and followed the crowd.

The beast didn't catch up, but silently watched everyone leave.

Outside, Phantom Sunset finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say: Scared me to death. But he saw that everyone was stunned. Suddenly, Sha Zhantang pulled out a big knife suddenly, "His grandmother's brute, Lao Tzu is not finished with him." ”

Only then did he see that the several good horses left outside had all been cut in half. He hurriedly shouted, "Stop him." ”

Tie Zhongli was about to draw his sword and follow Sha Zhantang, but when he heard the shouts of the phantom sunset, he was almost stopped by the ghost.

Phantom Xisha hurriedly caught up and blocked the way: "Lao Sha, don't get excited. Calm down, calm down!"

"I'm calm, fart, calm. Those who were prospecting must have been maimed by the beast as well. ”

"Not necessarily. The beast had no ill will towards us, and it was impossible for him to run outside and kill the horses. ”

Sha Zhantang calmed down a little when he heard this.

"It looks like the beast is the mysterious swordsman. But is its tail really that powerful? ”

Fang Lin also said, "That strange beast's tail does look like it was the murder weapon that caused this massacre. But I don't think the beast looks like a cruel one, maybe there's something mysterious in it. ”

Sha Zhantang calmed down completely, and then he arched his hand and said, "Little brother, thank you for this, if you weren't cautious, I'm afraid that these brothers of the Black Scale Guard would all suffer." ”

Several black-scaled guards also clenched their fists to express their gratitude to Phantom Sunset.

The sky was gloomy, and there was a murderous atmosphere between heaven and earth. Eleven good horses, twenty-two corpses. How could Sha Zhantang not feel distressed, he hammered his fist on his chest, and said hatefully: "I'll lead these horses to do something." ”

No one spoke, and although the horse was an animal, it was a good friend of man. Especially the brothers of the Blackscale Guard, these horses are like their brothers.

"Lao Sha, these horse brothers are cremated on the spot, right?"

Sha Zhantang nodded, and everyone went around looking for dry firewood, found a dry place without flammable materials to set up firewood, and several brothers of the Black Scale Guard resisted the horse corpse to the firewood. Sha Zhantang personally lit the fire.

Everyone looked at the majestic flames, and their hearts became heavier and heavier. By now, the case has become more and more confusing.

"Although that strange beast is strange, it is a beast at the lowest level, and it can't think of such a strict case. And the mysterious swordsman is obviously connected to this strange beast. ”

Fang Lin said, "I guess that strange beast must have some connection with that meteorite. Maybe the beast was the keeper of the meteorite. And the messenger may have known about the existence of this strange beast, so he told the Shendao Village about it, trying to profit from it. Maybe those miners were indeed killed by the beast, but it was not intentional, it should have been to protect its territory. When I first saw the beast, its tail slashed over a branch, and the branch broke in two so silently. ”

"And who killed these horses? Could it be that there is another one in this mysterious beast? ”

Sha Zhantang answered, and Fang Lin said: "I took a look, the wounds on the horse corpses are indeed very consistent with the wounds on the corpses of those previous miners, and the same thing should have come from the same thing that killed them." I just don't know if it's the tail of the alien beast or the knife of the mysterious swordsman. ”

Phantom Xisha suddenly felt a chill, and subconsciously turned his head to see that a head was silently approaching him, to be exact, close to the knife beside him.

Almost at the same time, the knife was discovered, and he was immediately stunned on the spot. The others also noticed the abnormality, and Phantom Sunset reminded in a low voice, "Don't act rashly. ”

Coldly, the beast turned its head to look at it, and suddenly became vigilant. Almost at the same time, a black shadow crossed and went straight to the knife, and the sword was pulled out with a swipe, almost subconsciously blocking the knife's side. I only heard a piercing sound, a pleasant crisp sound, and a strong wind swept by, and a figure jumped out.

The knife broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at the feet of his feet, half of the strange long knife was stuck in the ground, and the hard ore was as fragile as tofu.

At this time, the black shadow also appeared, and I saw him trembling violently, as if he was shocked or frightened. He was wrapped in a pitch-black cloak, and he held in his hand a strange blade, what appeared to be a huge scythe, a grip one and a half feet long, and only half of the blade was still two and a half feet long.

Sha Zhantang jumped out with a slick of it, and Tie Zhongli followed closely. The Black-scaled Guard pulled his blade and was about to go up, but was stopped by the Phantom Sunset, because he saw that the strange beast also moved, and it moved little by little, I don't know whether it was uneasy or vigilant, but it did not leave the side of the knife. Phantom Xi couldn't understand what he meant, so he could only follow and be vigilant. There was only the movement of Sha Zhantang's three people fighting on the scene.

There was another piercing scream, but he saw that only half of the broadsword in the iron base was left. Sha Zhantang jumped out to block in front of Tie Zhongli, and the big knife held the mysterious swordsman's half-cut scythe. This person's kung fu is so strong, he actually beat the combination of sand and iron to the disadvantage.

Somehow, the knife suddenly pulled out the black knife and jumped out, and the illusory sunset had no choice but to follow out. Turning around, he shouted to the Black Scale Guard, "Wait." ”

Phantom Sunset didn't have any kung fu at all now, that is, the horse step that had been stuck for a few months when he went out to sea, and the move just now was purely a knee-jerk reaction. In the eyes of others, it was not him wielding the sword, but the sword dancing with him. It's a pity that no one is paying attention to this at this time.

As soon as the knife moved, the black beast also moved, and followed the knife like a shadow. As soon as the beast left, the Black Scale Guard and Fang Lin both breathed a sigh of relief, they were half soaked in cold sweat, but at this time they were worried about the two of them.

Xiaodao has also practiced kung fu for four years, although the internal strength is not too deep, but the knife technique is unambiguous, as if he was born with the material for practicing knives. His black blade danced, and with one move, the mantis explored the way, and attacked the mysterious swordsman's lower plate. The mysterious swordsman grabbed it with his left hand, and actually grabbed the black blade of the knife with his own palm.

Tie Zhongli saw that he was frightened and had no three senses, and the half of the big knife in his hand was cut off towards the wrist of the mysterious swordsman, and the mysterious swordsman turned over his hand and used the black blade of the knife to block the big knife of the iron base, and there was another click, and the big knife of the iron base was broken again.

The knife's arm trembled violently, but he still clutched the black blade and refused to let go. Illusory Sunset raised his sword and was about to stab him, but he saw a black shadow pass by him, but it was the strange beast that opened its mouth and bit the mysterious swordsman.

This mysterious swordsman seemed to be very afraid of this strange beast, and when he saw it, he was very cowardly, and he involuntarily regressed under his feet, but he was entangled by Sha Zhantang and couldn't get out. When his hand grabbed the black blade of the knife, Sha Zhantang was afraid of injuring the knife by mistake, so he didn't make a strong move, but only slowly restrained the mysterious knifeman.

The beast's body scurried, like a shadow, opened its mouth and bit the wrist of the mysterious swordsman, this time the mysterious swordsman did not use the black blade of the knife to block, but retreated to start a light effort and escaped like this. Sha Zhantang and Tie Zhongli couldn't catch up, and they wanted to protect Phantom Xisha, so they let him go.

But the beast did not give up, and chased after it with a black shadow.

Everyone calmed down for a while, Sha Zhantang almost lost his opinion, this scene was too weird, he couldn't help but ask Phantom Xisha: "Phantom brother, what are we going to do next." ”

"Go back!"

Sha Zhantang originally thought that the return of Huanxisha was to return to the Divine Sword Village, but after he finished speaking, he walked straight to the jujube forest. Passing by the half of the scythe, he picked up a blanket, spread the contents into the rest of the blanket, and then pulled out the sickle and wrapped it.

"Lao Sha, you can take your stuff back, test it to see if it is poisonous, and then forge a short knife as soon as possible. By the way, build me twenty more machetes like the Black Blade. Of course, just use ordinary iron. ”

Sha Zhantang agreed and took the scythe, this half of the scythe was a gain for the Divine Sword Village, at least it could comfort the brothers who died because of it.

Then the sunset went into the woods. The Blackscale Guards picked up their coats and followed behind them with one each. Returning to the crater, Phantom Sunset said to everyone, "Let's go around and see if there are any meteorites." ”

Tie Zhonglei complained with some dissatisfaction: "I said little ancestor, when is this time are you still in the mood to find meteorites." ”

"This meteorite has a very close relationship, we have nothing to gain from this time, and we have lost a dozen good horses in vain, if I can't find anything, I don't have the face to go back. ”

Everyone smiled bitterly when they heard this, and Fang Lin persuaded: "Little brother, it is not without harvest that we have come out this time, at least we have seen the mysterious swordsman, and we have also seen the strange beast. ”

Phantom Sunset, but as if he hadn't heard it, he just stepped around and touched it. Everyone had no choice but to follow. Not to mention, I really found a piece.

"There's a piece here, you guys come over and see if it's okay. Tie Zhongli shouted at the top of his voice. Everyone went over and saw him holding a pitch-black tile in his hand, of course, it just looked like a tile, but in fact there were no rules at all, just some arcs, which looked like a broken tile. Even the thickness of the tiles is uneven.

Sha Zhantang took the tile and looked at it, "It seems to be a meteorite." ”

This piece of meteorite is buckled halfway up the crater, and only a little arc is exposed. The iron base was stepped on and almost slipped before he noticed it, and if he looked at it like this, he couldn't tell it at all.
