Chapter 21: The Line Between Life and Death
Chapter 21 The Line of Life and Death
The monster flipped Jingyuan over like a monkey, stretched out its tongue, leaned down and licked towards Jingyuan, smelling, and from time to time touching Jingyuan's body with his hands, swallowing saliva, as if he had seen a cherished delicacy. Jingyuan watched him dripping with blood, pus, and his festering body was drenched by the rain and slowly flowed down the rain, and his heart was nauseous, his weak feet suddenly had strength, and the struggling man stood up, leaned against the tree, and looked at the monster with his tongue sticking out and his face covered with blood, staring at him with dead eyes.
The monster was not in a hurry, smelling up and down, licking, touching, and finally stretched out his hands and grabbed Jingyuan, but before he could catch it, he heard a sound from the air, he let go of the idea of grabbing Jingyuan, and looked at the direction of the sound from the sky, and as soon as he raised his head, he was smashed by a giant tree on his chest, and flew out of the air and fell into the river. Jing Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw all this, and he looked at everything that happened in front of him. For a while, I couldn't believe it.
"Come with me. A figure swung in front of him, grabbed him, and swung back into the middle of the woods. The voice was familiar, he heard it, it was the familiar voice in front of the mountain gate.
He seemed to have the strength to run quickly after the voice.
"Whew" came the angry roar of the monster, which had risen from the river and strode in the direction of their escape. Looking at the roar, it was obvious that he was already angry, and he was going to eat them alive.
"Thank you. Thank you for saving me. As soon as Jingyuan fell to the ground, he gasped and thanked him.
"Let's run away first, don't rush to thank you, if you can't escape, thank you is useless. Murong Chen said to Jingyuan with a smile as he ran rapidly.
"Oops. Jingyuan's footsteps suddenly slowed down, and as soon as Murong Chen looked back at Jingyuan, he tore off Jingyuan's clothes, and the blood inside had turned black. It is leaking out of the wound little by little. His face changed, and he shouted: "It's not good, you're poisoned." He connected his fingers and sealed the acupuncture point. The blood was no more. But that internal force can't be exhausted.
"Come on. I'll carry you, come up quickly. Murong Chen ordered in a low voice, and he said to Jingyuan with a resolute face that could not be denied.
Jingyuan listened to the roar of the monster that was getting closer and closer. With a reluctant face, he shook his head at Murong Chen and said, "You go, I can't drag you down." ”
"Don't say it, get it right. Murong Chen roared angrily, picked up Jingyuan without saying anything, and ran up.
"You'd better let me go, or we'll all die. Jingyuan said into Murong Chen's ear.
"Then let's die together. Murong Chen replied coldly and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
Murong Chen was soaked, his face was covered with mud and rain, he observed the surrounding situation as he ran, and from time to time he also designed a few small mechanisms to stop the monster from advancing.
The monster was ferocious and abnormal, but its brain seemed to be very simple, and it was confused by the mechanism designed by Murong Chen from time to time, and the distance was unapproachable. He screamed in a hurry, and from time to time he held the trees around him to vent his anger.
"If only there was a trap so that you could get out of it. Jing Yuan lay on Murong Chen's shoulder and said regretfully, he saw that the monster was injured by the mechanism, and he was indescribably happy in his heart. But it's a pity that I don't have time to dig traps, otherwise I can definitely get rid of the entanglement of this monster.
Murong Chen heard his words and looked at the mountains, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he ran towards the valley on the left with Jingyuan on his back.
Jingyuan saw that he suddenly changed direction and walked towards the sparsely wooded valley, and his heart was very anxious, and he hurriedly said: "The valley has few trees, and I am afraid that you will be more auspicious than you carry me." ”
Murong Chen quickened his pace, and he said with a smile: "I'm just going there, maybe it's a perfect trap." ”
Jingyuan looked at the valley suspiciously, he saw the place where the two mountains meet, and his heart suddenly understood, he said ecstatically: "You mean a line of heaven?"
Murong Chen nodded, and accelerated towards the valley, the monster was dizzy and flickering, and his body was already blurred with flesh and blood, but he still didn't give up, and when he saw the two of them running towards the sparse place with trees, he was overjoyed and chased after him. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, suddenly the two people in front of it ran into a cave, it couldn't help but stop, looked at the entrance of the cave suspiciously, and slowly leaned in.
"You go in first, wait for me over there, and I'll draw him over." Murong Chen watched the monster suddenly slow down, he put down Jingyuan, and said to Jingyuan.
Jingyuan nodded, and climbed towards the side of the mountain with his hands and feet. He was thin and small, and after a while, he crawled to the other side, and he shouted towards Murong Chen, "I'm out." ”
Murong Chen picked up a large stone and slammed it towards the monster at the entrance of the cave, the monster was a little dazed and slowly approached, and was hit by Murong Chen's head with a stone, and immediately rushed into the cave in anger, Murong Chen retreated along the line of heaven and threw stones, the monster was enraged, and while dodging the stones, he approached Murong Chen.
As the name suggests, the first line of heaven is a gradually narrowing cave, it is between the two mountains, the narrowest place can only accommodate a child to pass through, looking up, the day seems to be like a thin line, hence the name of the first line of heaven.
The monster walked and dodged at the same time, Murong Chen worked hard to shrink his bones, barely passed a line of sky, he saw the monster, squeezed forward hard, reached out to catch him, he casually hit him with a stone, the hole was narrow, the monster could not dodge, and was beaten hard, the Emperor's Fist was known for its fierceness, and the strength of the Emperor's Fist was definitely too much, the monster was beaten in a hurry, and he roared and slammed forward, and was suddenly stuck, it tried hard to struggle, but that line of heaven was a place that was easy to get in and out of, and it was too strong, and it couldn't move for a whileAlthough it struggled hard, its body was hard and it was stuck there for a while. But it still roared, still clutching it with its hands, as if it was unwilling. In the dark night, the eyes shone green, like ghosts.
"Go find a piece of wood. Murong Chen commanded Jingyuan loudly, and Jingyuan immediately ran to the big tree, broke off a thick branch, and ripped off all the branches and leaves on it. Ran back to the cave,
Jingyuan handed the thick branch to Murong Chen, and Murong Chen used his hand Murong Chen used his hand to make a sword to sharpen the wood, then took it in his hand and checked it, nodding with satisfaction.
"Wait, let me do it. Jingyuan limped into the entrance of the cave and reached out to ask for wood, Murong Chen looked at his angry appearance, sighed and handed the wood to him, got out of the way, and then glanced at him and nodded.
Jingyuan took the wood and looked at the monster stuck in it, he seemed to see the scene of everyone in the division being eaten alive by him, and for a while hatred arose, and he used all his strength to stab at the monster, the monster screamed, blood splashed out, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Spare me, I don't want to do this either." It seemed that he was still whimpering and crying for a while, but Jingyuan was in charge of a lot, and the wooden stick kept poking, shouting loudly while poking, and the monster's voice gradually lowered, and after a while, there was no sound.
Murong Chen stood at the entrance of the cave, watching Jingyuan walk out of the cave, he looked at Murong Chen blankly, the two looked at each other, glanced at each other, Murong Chen walked into the cave in confusion, lit the fire fold, and stepped forward to look, only to see that the monster was stuck in the stone crack and motionless, his body was pierced by a thick wooden stick, the blood was no longer flowing, his face was pale, and his body was cold. Apparently dead. But Jingyuan and Murong Chen found that there were clearly two lines of tears in the monster's eyes, and tears slowly flowed down their eyes. Jingyuan looked at the tearful eyes, couldn't help but be shocked, and took two steps back. Murong Chen glanced back at him, thinking in his heart that this is indeed the case, although Jingyuan is talented, but he is a child after all, today's scene is a bit cruel for a child like him, he looks old, but his actions just now have exposed his nature.
"Do ghosts also speak human words? Do ghosts also shed tears? Do I kill people or ghosts?Do you say that I kill people or ghosts?" Jing Yuan looked at Murong Chen and said with palpitations. Jingyuan said with a trembling voice. He walked out of the hole and sat on the ground, completely ignoring the muddy water on the ground. He said with his eyes glazed.
Murong Chen smiled slightly, he walked to Jing Yuan and sat down, he pretended to be relaxed and hugged Jing Yuan's shoulder, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a relaxed face: "I don't know, I just know now that we are out of danger and are going home." It doesn't matter what you kill, what matters is that we do the right thing. Murong Chen helped Jingyuan up, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the cave, picked up Jingyuan and walked towards the mountain gate. The rain kept falling, and the rain in autumn and winter was cold, but the two of them didn't feel any cold, but kept thinking about ghosts who can talk to people, and will they regret and shed tears......?
