Chapter 88: Stalemate
Zhang Qing watched Ah Longyin play the bone flute, and felt that it was an eye-opener.
After entering the dense forest, the girl took out her own musical instrument, Zhang Qing originally looked at the piccolo glowing with jade in the sun, and thought it was made of jade. As a result, Ah Longyin told him that this piccolo was made from the calf bones of sinners, and was the traditional musical instrument of their holy Miao people.
And this one of hers was used by her aunt back then, and then transferred to her by her master, which is said to have a history of more than 100 years and has been passed down for several generations.
Zhang Qing felt a little creepy, but seeing that Ah Longyin cherished the flute very much, he didn't care at all what the raw materials used to make this thing were, he could only attribute it to the different customs of different ethnic groups.
Then Ah Longyin put the flute to his lips, and to Zhang Qing's surprise, he could feel Ah Longyin blowing continuously, and he also saw the dexterous five fingers flicking on the flute hole, but he couldn't hear the slightest sound.
Just when he thought that the flute was broken, and Ah Longyin was embarrassed to tell him, he suddenly heard the sound of "rattling" beside him. Then he saw several brightly patterned venomous snakes swim beside him, and then follow forward.
After that, as the two of them were marching, all kinds of poisons that he didn't recognize kept gathering around him, and the stars surrounded the two of them.
"Infrasound, or ultrasound?" Zhang Qing thought instinctively.
As early as the first time he saw the controlled poisonous insect array besieging Qian Yuan and the others, he felt very mysterious. You must know that even if technology is already very advanced on the earth, no one can control all kinds of animals like an arm, unless it is trained in a way similar to conditioning, and even then it is necessary to choose animals that are smart enough.
However, Ah Longyin, a teenage girl, can summon and manipulate crawling, amphibian, and even invertebrate insects with such ease as just a bone flute, which is almost impossible for earth scientists to have enough intelligence, and it is wild and untrained, which is simply not scientific at all.
He knew that many animals could hear infrasound and ultrasound, which the human ear could not receive, but he still couldn't understand how they worked.
However, thinking about the meridians of the human body that the earth medicine in his body has not been able to discover through scientific means for decades, as well as the internal qi running in them, and the god-like knife of the master, he will no longer be entangled in the unscientific things of this world.
Not long after advancing, Zhang Qing suddenly stopped Ah Longyin next to him, and in the girl's questioning gaze, he listened carefully to the direction behind him. His hearing was far beyond ordinary people, and he found that there was a faint sound of a voice on their way to come, and he knew that nine times out of ten, Fang Xihe had already chased after him.
In fact, he had already felt that he had made a few irregular maneuvers on the way to escape, but unfortunately because there were people blocking the road in front of him, he couldn't get rid of the pursuers too far, and now he was going to be chased after all.
But before the two sides meet, he still has to leave them with some surprises.
"Ah Longyin, can you arrange these poisons to hide them in batches on the route we have taken, and then let them attack when they find someone passing by?" he asked the girl next to him who was trying to control the poison group, at this time, because she could only use one hand, although she controlled much less poisonous insects than last time, it was still very difficult to control, and she had been rushing just now, and there were already beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Zhang Qing felt that his requirements were a bit high, these poisons should not have such high intelligence, right?
Unexpectedly, Ah Longyin's face was happy, and then his fingers changed, and he saw that the poisonous insects were divided into several batches, constantly hiding in the grass on the trees and trees they walked by, and even remained motionless. If Zhang Qing hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even have imagined that there were so many poisons hidden in such a quiet forest.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and the poisons that followed them were also hidden every other section under the guidance of Zhang Qing and the command of A Longyin.
He didn't let all the poisonous insects form a pile to attack the pursuers, although that would be able to inflict maximum damage when the opponent was unsuspecting, but if there was no one to command, he would definitely be killed by the reacting enemy quickly, so it would only be a little delay.
He didn't know how many people were behind him, but from the previous interrogation of Liu Laoba, it was estimated that it was indispensable, so this was equivalent to throwing these poisons out as a disposable weapon.
On the contrary, if you put a little bit like him every once in a while, you may only hurt one or two people at a time, or even hurt no person, but it will cause fear to the other party. After being attacked a few times, they don't know when a batch of poison will emerge in front of them, so they can only cautiously grope forward, which will naturally consume the opponent's spirit and slow down their speed.
"I remember that when you were fighting with Qian Yuan and them before, the flute made a sound, and it was fluttering and flickering, why was there no sound during the whole process just now?" Seeing that Ah Longyin arranged the last batch of poisonous insects, and finally put down the flute in his mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Qing asked puzzled.
Ah Longyin smiled and said: "You say this, this is the method that the master taught me, when the poison besieges the enemy, I blow a piercing flute sound, and then use a special technique to sound it from different directions. Master said that this would make the enemy feel scared and frightened, and they would have a flaw in dealing with poison. When gathering poison, it is necessary to use a silent flute throughout the whole process to prevent it from being discovered by the enemy. ”
Zhang Qing suddenly realized.
Indeed, in the dark dense forest, there was a strange and piercing flute sound, and then countless poisonous insects and poisonous snakes surrounded themselves, and they didn't need to attack, they could scare people to death. It seems that Ah Longyin's master is also a master who is well versed in psychology.
。。。。。。
"Helmsman, according to the footprints here, the other two are not far ahead, we will be able to catch them soon!"
At this time, knowing that the enemy was ahead, the fire in the heart of the helmsman not only did not go out, but burned more and more. The torment of not being found for a long time in the past few days, the possible accountability of Qian Gongzi's loss of treasures, and the corpses of the gangs and affiliated gangs that fell in front of him today all weighed on his heart like a mountain.
After facing Zhang Qing's strength, he couldn't wait to catch him, break his limbs, abolish his martial arts, capture him alive, and then bring him back to the gang, in front of all the brothers, in front of his uncle's tablet, and sacrifice him alive!
"Ah————h
Just when Fang Xihe was urging everyone to speed up, suddenly a gang member who was walking on the edge screamed miserably, and then fell to the ground holding his right hand, and everyone looked and found that his right hand was already black and purple.
"Watch your side!" the vice-helmsman's face changed, and he drew his knife and slashed a black and white poisonous snake falling from the top of his head into two pieces. Looking at the two severed snakes that were still jumping around, he broke out in a cold sweat. The deputy helmsman knows this kind of snake, which is called the poison of the black ring snake by the people of Yunzhou, which is extremely poisonous, even if he has successfully broken the three levels, he can reach the peak of the day after tomorrow, and he will not last long under its venom.
The people who followed also quickly killed the poison around them, but fortunately, there were not many of them, and more than 30 of them quickly cleaned them up. Rao is so, there are also two people who were stung and bitten, fortunately it is not a highly poisonous thing, but it is inevitable that there is some discomfort. As for the first injured guy, he was still rolling on the ground at this time.
A gang from a mountain man went up to take a look, and came back to report to Fang Xihe: "He was bitten by an upside-down horse stake, the poison is not poisonous, but it hurts, and it will take half an hour to slowly recover." ”
Fang Xihe frowned, the guy in front of him had obviously lost his combat effectiveness and couldn't move forward with him. He had to point out another of the more seriously injured gang and let him take care of this guy here, and then proceed with the main army forward.
But not far away, another wave of poisonous insects attacked, because he just felt that time was lost, so he urged his men to move quickly, but everyone did not pay attention. Although the battle was quickly resolved in the end, three more people were wounded.
"Helmsman, this won't work. I heard Lord Huang Helm say that the woman he met in Meridian Valley could manipulate poisons. Now this woman is with Zhang Qingxiao'er, which is obviously a trap she has arranged. If we are in such a hurry, I am afraid that before we see each other, we will all be bitten by poisonous insects! It is better for everyone to concentrate on vigilance and move forward slowly, anyway, the other party is in this area, and there are still their footprints to track, absolutely unable to run. ”
Fang Xi gritted his teeth, he knew that he was not far from the enemy at this time, but the road ahead was obviously thorny step by step, even if he forced everyone to speed up and track regardless of losses, but looking at the fear in the eyes of his subordinates, he knew that doing so would probably minimize morale. He didn't have the authority to say anything here, so he had to reluctantly agree to the deputy's request.
