Chapter IV

The Mujia southbound group has been walking in southern Xinjiang for three days, and occasionally tigers and snakes bite on the road, and they are also solved by Jian Xuankankan with a few swords, which is quite smooth. This is still the periphery of southern Xinjiang, and the plants and beasts have not changed much from the Central Plains. Zhen Zheng is strange, there are no other southbound people on the road, and there are no local residents in southern Xinjiang, An Guqi said, southern Xinjiang is vast, sparsely populated, it is normal to see no people for thousands of miles, and it should be the nearest town after two walks.

As soon as An Guqi finished speaking, the Mujia southbound group met a team, the team only had five people, four men and one woman, they were a free combination of southbound groups, they didn't know each other, they also met by chance on the road, and finally went together. The five asked to temporarily go with the Mu family's southbound group, but Mu Lian did not object.

The five people vaguely took the woman as the leader, the woman's name was Xi Ling, who was the guide of the five-person southbound group, with a flowery appearance and a moonlight appearance, and a voice that seemed to have a kind of magic, and soon mingled with the southbound group of the Mu family, especially the fat man was particularly attentive to him, and the word "pervert" was almost written on his face. Except for Xi Ling, the other four people in the five-person group were all silent, and their eyes were blank.

It's getting dark, and the sun is hanging in the west, and if you're not careful, it will fall. "There is a small stream to the east along this road, the water is clear and sweet, and everyone can go there and set up camp. ”

Except for An Guqi, the Mu family's southbound group readily agreed, and An Guqi said: "This road is dangerous to the east, I advise everyone not to go." Jian Xuan said sarcastically: "Can there be the danger of the night in the Stone Forest?" Miss Xiling is also a guide, I think it is much more reliable than you. The fat man echoed: "Lao An, don't be so timid, no one is afraid of little girls, so don't worry about it." Mu Lian finally spoke, and everyone went to the stream to spend the night together, An Guqi was silent, and followed everyone to the east of the road.

Sure enough, I didn't go far and a stream came into view, the stream was about four meters wide, the stream was clear and thorough, the stream spirit beckoned everyone to taste the water together, and after speaking, he squatted down and picked up the stream water and drank it alone.

"You must not drink this water, it is poisonous. Anguqi shouted.

"Ridiculous, this place is deserted, who would poison the stream?" Jian Xuan didn't believe it at all. The rest of the Mu Family's southbound group were also very suspicious, even if someone really poisoned them, they would still poison them, but how did the poisoner know that they were coming here? Unless Miss Xiling was the poisoner, but she had already drunk the water first, so it was impossible for her to poison herself.

Zhen Zheng has always believed in An Guqi the most, but at this time, he couldn't help but suspect that An Guqi was talking angrily, because everyone didn't listen to his advice to come to Ludong Creek for the night, so he lied to scare everyone.

The rest of the group of five walked to the stream to drink water, and Jian Xuan also walked over, the fat man wanted to go, but he was too timid and hesitated. Angu Qilang said: "This stream is a cannibal stream, if someone drinks the water of the stream, he will be in a trance, lose consciousness, be controlled by the stream, and actually walk into the stream, drown himself, and become food for the stream. ”

Xi Ling's body trembled, stood up and said with a smile: "An Gongzi is really good at laughing, how can there be such a stream in the world, it can eat people, is the creek a fierce beast? Besides, haven't I already drunk the stream water, and now that I am very conscious, how can I drown in the stream? Don't believe An Gongzi's jokes, come and taste this water, it is very sweet." ”

"The reason why you dare to drink this water is because you are the result of a creek, and you have brought us here to drink water, but you are only foraging. If I'm not mistaken, the four people who traveled with you should have drunk this water, fallen into confusion, and become the walking dead who have been indulged by you. Zhen Zheng said in a deep voice.

Xi Ling's face changed suddenly, and he returned to normal in an instant, and said with a smile: "Gongzi An's joke is serious, how can I, a weak woman, be called a monster by you." Jian Xuan Gongzi quickly help me talk. Xi Ling turned his gaze to Jian Xuan for help, and Jian Xuan had already believed An Guqi for three points at this time, but he still couldn't believe that such a dexterous and moving girl as Xi Ling was actually transformed by the stream, and her face changed and she hesitated.

"It's very easy to test if you are a creek, as long as you walk into the creek, nature merges and disappears. An Guqi said lightly.

Xi Ling's low face suddenly lifted, her pretty face twisted, and she screamed, "Throw them all into the stream for me." The four men immediately made a move, wanting to throw the nearest Jian Xuan into the stream. At this time, Jian Xuan would not be able to see right from wrong, draw his sword and kill the four men.

The spirit of the stream walked into the stream, sank and disappeared, the stream was undulating, the waves on both sides converged to the middle, and finally condensed into a huge water man, standing upright, about ten zhang high, looking up to the sky and roaring, startling the birds to fly out of the mountain forest. The water giant has only a humanoid body and no facial features. After passing through the falling stone forest, everyone has seen a big scene, but they are still at a loss in the face of a water giant who has no idea what to do.

"Everyone hurry up and make a fire, Cannibal Creek is most afraid of fire, and even a little bit of fire does not dare to approach. An Guqi said hurriedly. Mu Lian took out a fire can, opened the lid and immediately burst into flames, and everyone gathered around Mu Lian and looked at Cannibal Creek.

Cannibal Creek really didn't dare to approach, and stood there screaming. The crowd gathered some firewood nearby and lit a bonfire. Cannibal Creek looked at it for a long time, rolled up the four corpses on the ground, and walked deeper into the woods, leaving a stream empty to prove that there was once a small stream flowing here.

Everyone in the Mu family's southbound group looked at each other, and finally Jian Xuan hugged his fist to An Guqi and said: "It's me who is wrong, I suspect the son, and I almost caused a big disaster." "If Jian Xuan drinks the water of the stream and is controlled by the cannibal stream to deal with everyone, I am afraid that no one in the Mu family's southbound group will be Jian Xuan's opponent, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

An Guqi waved his hand and said: "Cannibal Creek is an extremely sinister existence in southern Xinjiang, the means are insidious and cunning, almost transcendent from things, and become a living being, I only know a little about Cannibal Creek. I relied on my rough understanding of Cannibal Creek, combined with the empty eyes of the four men, to guess that this creek was a cannibal creek, but the creek's humble performance made me more and more sure. ”

Zhen Zheng asked, "Where did the cannibal creek go?" An Guqi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that it was discovered by someone and wanted to repeat the old tricks in a different place and deceive people." Tonight we will set up camp here, and build a few more bonfires, and everyone will take turns to guard them to prevent the bonfires from going out and give Cannibal Creek a chance. Now everyone can be said to be obedient to An Guqi's words, and they no longer dare to doubt it.

An Guqi said to Zhen Zheng that Cannibal Creek may not go far, observe us in the dark, and make a comeback as soon as there is an opportunity. Zhen Zheng didn't dare to be careless, and was extra careful when guarding the bonfire.

After Zhen Zheng guarded for a while, An Gu Qi came to change shifts with Zhen Zheng, and at this time, four black shadows jumped out of the forest, instantly subduing An Gu Qi and trying to pull him into the woods. The four people were the four men who were killed by Jian Xuan, and Cannibal Creek didn't know how to "resurrect" the four people. An Guqi shouted for help, and was about to be pulled into the deep forest, and the southbound group except for Zhen Zheng was asleep.

"Change the sword!" Zhen Zheng shouted, the black wood ring in his right hand suddenly changed in vain, and branches grew to wrap around his right arm, and a long sword appeared at the front end. Zhen Zheng rushed to the front in a vertical step and smashed the heads of the four people as casually as cutting melons.

An Guqi thanked him, and didn't ask about the black wood ring, and directly incinerated the bodies of the four people, so as not to be used by the Cannibal Creek again. The flames were soaring, and Zhen Zheng seemed to hear a roar coming from the flames, "It's the resentful spirits of the four people who are roaring, they are being used by the Cannibal Creek, their souls are controlled, and they can't be reincarnated after death, and they can't enter reincarnation, it's really pitiful." An Guqi said lightly beside him. The four bodies soon disappeared, and the voices disappeared with them.

"Good sword, good sword", there was still a person in the darkness who watched everything that happened.

"Brother Zheng, the black wood ring in your hand should be the wood core of the thousand-year-old dryad, right?" An Guqi looked at Zhen Zheng's right hand and said slowly.

"Brother Gu Qi is really well-informed, he knows this kind of thing, and I hope that Brother Gu Qi will help me keep it secret, after all, this thing is unusual, lest it provoke people's reverie. Zhen Zheng said solemnly to An Guqi.

"Brother rest assured, life has its own opportunities, it is a blessing for my brother to get this treasure, I will not covet your ring, and I will not talk about it. My brother is my life-saving benefactor, I will not take revenge, if there is anything you need help in the future, just ask. ”

An Guqi ignored Zhen Zheng's obstruction and swore to the sky, Zhen Zheng felt that this person was a person who kept his promises and was worth befriending.

Cannibal Creek felt that it had lost control of the four of them, and screamed again, waking up the sleeping crowd. Looking at the unknown crowd, An Guqi and Zhen Zheng were silent and did not say anything about what happened. The crowd only screamed madly as Cannibal Creek and went back to sleep.
