Chapter 7: Escape from the Peace (3)
A terrible scream resounded through the forest.
Jiang Yuan, who was slowly swimming in the forest with a knife, turned his head sharply and grinned:
"Found you!"
Then Jiang Yuan quickly ran in the direction where the screams came from.
The desire to kill grew stronger and stronger in his heart, and he was almost unable to hold back.
The screams came from behind a big tree not far away, and this distance was just a flash for Jiang Yuan today.
When he was about to approach the big tree, Jiang Yuan glanced at it and seemed to see something passing through the forest at great speed.
"Long flowing hair...... A woman?"
In the dense woods, Jiang Yuan didn't see it really enough. I only felt that the direction in which that thing was going was the road where everyone in Taiping Town gathered.
Jiang Yuan shook his head, whether it was a woman or not, it had nothing to do with him.
He carried a steel knife to the back of the big tree, and finally found the strong man who tried to escape his pursuit.
The strong man was lying under the tree, his eyes and mouth were wide open, and he was dead.
Unusually, his body had begun to decompose.
The strong man's skin had turned black and purple, his lips had withered, and his teeth had turned out. The smell of rancid smell kept coming out of the corpse.
"I haven't seen him for a while, and I'm already dead...... It's rotten like this......"
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, he chased and killed this person for a long time, but he didn't expect that it would end up like this.
In desperation, Jiang Yuan could only carry the knife and start returning.
"Could this person's death have something to do with the woman just now? It's a pity that I couldn't see the woman's face clearly, otherwise I would have been able to ask if I found it later...... Forget it, after all, I don't know anyone well. ”
Jiang Yuan didn't think much about it anymore, and planned to speed up and return to the road.
"Click!"
The faint sound of a tree branch being trampled off sounded in the background.
Jiang Yuan stopped, turned around, and saw that the strong man was already standing there.
The strong man's eyes and mouth were still as wide as before he died, his cloudy pupils flashed with a strange luster, and he was not a little angry, but he was able to move.
"Dead and alive?" Jiang Yuan said in surprise, "Do you want to fulfill me to kill you once?"
The strong man's throat hissed, as if all the air in his chest was being expelled from his body.
His rotting body suddenly moved, and he quickly pounced on Jiang Yuan with a corpse stench, as agile as a cheetah.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, and the steel knife in his hand slashed out, drawing a silver arc.
The body of the strong man who had just pounced on him was slashed upside down by Jiang Yuan and flew out and smashed heavily on the ground, shaking the surrounding fallen leaves.
As the fallen leaves slowly fell, the strong man lay motionless on the ground.
"Is it solved?"
Jiang Yuan shrugged, then turned his head and left, with a knife like himself, ordinary people couldn't survive at all.
However, after only taking two steps, Jiang Yuan stopped again and turned back in surprise.
The strong man actually stood there again, his chest cavity had been split by a knife, and even the heart that had long stopped beating in the viscous blood could be seen inside.
"You can't kill it...... Isn't it the same as Uncle Li?"
Jiang Yuan recalled that he saw Uncle Li last night, and he smashed Uncle Li's head, but Uncle Li's headless body was still able to move.
The strong man's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the green and black tongue inside collapsed and pulled down. He raised his hands, black, sharp nails on his fingertips.
Immediately after, the strong man set off a fishy wind and rushed towards Jiang Yuan at a faster speed than last time.
Jiang Yuan suddenly held the blade with his left hand this time, and then pulled the steel knife out of his left palm with his right hand.
As the palm of his hand was slashed by the long knife, the blood that glowed red like magma flowed up the blade, and then burst into dazzling flames.
At this time, the steel knife was covered in flames, and it looked a little fantastical.
The strong man had already pounced in front of Jiang Yuan at this time, and Jiang Yuan could even ask him clearly about the fishy smell in his mouth.
Jiang Yuan did not hesitate, and slashed out with another sword, slashing heavily at the strong man's body.
The strong man was slashed again, and the flames on the knife spread to the strong man's chest, covering the strong man's whole body in an instant.
These flames seemed to have caused great harm to the strong man, and he was seen screaming incessantly, writhing and curling up in the fire. His flesh and bones then fell off and decomposed in the fire, and at last all that was left was a pile of charred black ash.
"Sure enough, my blood has a repressive effect on this kind of person who has risen from the dead. I wonder if there will be that kind of 'ghost' this time?"
Jiang Yuan was thinking about it, but there was movement in the black ash.
I saw a twisted and entangled black gas coming out of it, and when I felt the fresh flesh and blood nearby, that black gas was like a hideous black snake, and it suddenly rushed towards Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan smiled:
"It's just in time, I can't ask for it!"
That black qi came in an instant, rushing to Jiang Yuan's face, trying to penetrate through Jiang Yuan's nostrils.
Jiang Yuan didn't mind, but instead took a deep breath and inhaled all the black qi.
After the black qi entered Jiang Yuan's body, it was quickly swallowed and absorbed by that hideous shadow, and then the figure became brighter again.
A wave of heat came out of Jiang Yuan's body again, and he twisted his body and limbs, very satisfied:
"I can feel it...... The strength is a little stronger, it seems that I have found the right way! I don't know where there are still such people who have risen from the dead, or ghosts who like to possess themselves, if I take a little more nourishment, I will definitely be able to make my flame form mature. ”
Jiang Yuan didn't pause too much, and immediately returned to the road.
In the mountains and forests far from the road, there is always a cold atmosphere that is constantly permeating. This kind of cold aura was still at home, and Jiang Yuan had felt it when that terrifying little girl appeared.
And when the terrifying little girl appeared, the cold air only filled a house. And the cold air in the mountains and forests here seems to be ...... Everywhere.
Along with this cold breath came the thicker and thicker fog, the fog spread in the forest, and Jiang Yuan felt a strange strange aura in it, but what it was, Jiang Yuan couldn't say.
If he stayed in such an environment for a long time, Jiang Yuan didn't know if he would encounter any dangers that he couldn't handle. But will it be safe to return to the road? Jiang Yuan is not sure.
Bad predictions are often easy to achieve, and when Jiang Yuan was about to return to the road, he had already heard bursts of frightened cries and terrible screams coming from the road.
Even across the woods, Jiang Yuan could feel the fear that penetrated deep into his bone marrow in those cries and screams.
"Those ghosts, have you finally started to make trouble? I don't know what happened to that annoying cousin Su Yan, it's better to be dead, save me a lot of trouble. ”
So Jiang Yuan walked slowly towards the road without hurrying, he didn't care about Su Yan's safety, and he couldn't care about the safety of other people. At this time, what he was most worried about was the powerful Dong Tianxiong of Tianping Town, if this guy died, then he would not be able to find a way to break through the blockade of the officers and soldiers and leave Taiping Town.
He only remembered that along the way, Dong Tianxiong and the gang of thugs had been at the forefront, followed by Yuheng Zhenren's group of yellow-clothed people. I don't know where he is at this time, this question must be clarified sooner.
Jiang Yuan was thinking about it, and suddenly saw a large group of people rushing into the forest in front of him.
The group of people were also startled when they saw Jiang Yuan, and then when they saw that Jiang Yuan was a human, they bypassed Jiang Yuan and fled towards the forest.
A man with a torch passed by Jiang Yuan's side and kindly persuaded:
"Run! There's a monster eating man in the back!"
After saying that, the man stopped paying attention to Jiang Yuan and continued to flee towards the jungle.
Monster? Jiang Yuan couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing if he could beat the "monster" in this person's mouth?
At this moment, in the crowd of fleeing people, a familiar figure was pushed to the ground by the people around him. Jiang Yuan looked closely, and the person who was pushed was his cousin Su Yan.
I only heard the people around me pointing at Su Yan and scolding angrily:
"You can't live on your own, why do you want to follow us? Do you want to kill us! If you dare to follow us again, don't blame us for being rude!"
After the scolding, the people also dispersed. Only Su Yan sat on the ground, trembling and crying in fear.
Jiang Yuan wanted to turn around and leave, regardless of Su Yan's life or death. But I couldn't help but hesitate:
"I'm so annoyed! I want to leave her alone? Carrying her is a burden, constantly causing trouble for myself, so I'll just leave her and leave her with those ghosts!, but...... Shouldn't I look at it from a different angle, like ...... If a person doesn't even have a relative, it may not be too miserable, and between relatives and relatives, isn't it precisely to cause trouble to each other, talk more about family affection and ask for less in return?"
Jiang Yuan finally made up his mind and walked towards Su Yan:
"Sooner or later, I'll be killed by this cousin!"
He came to Su Yan, squatted down, and patted Su Yan's thin shoulder.
Su Yan, who was crying, raised her delicate face, and her big eyes full of tears were full of joy when she saw Jiang Yuan:
"Cousin Jiang Yuan! It's really you! Great...... No, it's not good, it's not good! Run, there are a lot of monsters on the road, and they eat when they see people, and many people have already died!"
Jiang Yuan asked, "Can you still run?" If not, I'll carry you." ”
Su Yan shook his head bitterly:
"Leave me alone, I'll hurt you if I follow you. You see......"
As he spoke, he saw Su Yan pull up his sleeves, and there was a black handprint on the white lotus-like arm.
Jiang Yuan frowned when he saw this.
Ghost handprint!
