It was midnight, and the forest was hazy with mist. From time to time, a few owl calls could be heard above everyone's heads, adding a bit of an eerie atmosphere. The cold wind blew, and Tong Daniu couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Xiao Yunfan squatted beside him, and the two of them were hidden in a bush. Everyone else also found a place to hide, and everyone held their breath and waited for the monster to appear.
The light in the deep forest is already dark, and it becomes even more difficult to see at night. Since everyone was scattered in different directions, it was difficult to see clearly. Fortunately, Tong Daniu had made an agreement with the others in advance to use code words to communicate.
Their code word is to imitate the crow of a hen.
Xiao Yunfan was secretly amused after hearing this, and thought to himself: "It's hard for them to come up with such a stupid idea." When he was in Bashan, Xiao Yunfan was imprisoned in a dark secret room, and since then his eyesight has been different from ordinary people.
Although the light in this deep forest is dim, it is no obstacle to him. In addition, he was nourished by rare treasures such as the bones of Emperor Xuanyuan and the blood of Chi You, and his ability to distinguish objects in the dark became even more superb.
In addition, each of them wears fluorite. The most taboo thing in the deep mountains and forests is lighting fires. Although the light of fire can drive away wild beasts, once sparks fall in the forest, it will cause tragic disasters. The fire spread and thick smoke filled the air, making it impossible for people to escape. And this kind of fluorite plays a huge role at this time.
The so-called fluorite is a luminous stone. The peculiarity of this stone is that after absorbing sufficient sunlight during the day, it can scatter a faint halo on its own at night. Toadgou is a remote and remote area, and the Orions are not rich to begin with. Having this kind of fluorite can save a lot of money on lamp oil.
After a while, a hissing sound suddenly came from the surroundings, which was extremely weird. Xiao Yunfan had an extraordinary ear and whispered: "Brother Tong, tell everyone that there are snakes out there, it seems there are more than one." Tong Daniu shouted several times in code, and everyone became alert.
Even though they were so cautious, someone still screamed out, obviously being bitten by a snake. Tong Daniu wanted to stand up and ask his brother how he was injured. Xiao Yunfan said: "Brother Tong, have you forgotten that there are traps set up by us outside? When you go out, you are stepping on your own trap." Tong Daniu said: "But, there are brothers who are injured, and I can't ignore them. "
Xiao Yunfan said: "Don't move here, I'll go and see what's going on." Tong Daniu said: "The light here is dim. Although we have fluorite, we still have difficulty in moving." Xiao Yunfan said: "It doesn't matter. Brother, I have developed a pair of night owl eyes in my daily life, so even if there is no fluorite to illuminate, I can still see the surroundings clearly."
As he spoke, he jumped out, holding two wooden sticks under his ribs, and walked forward like walking on stilts. Tong Daniu used the light of fluorite to see where Xiao Yunfan was going, and he was greatly admired. He thought secretly: "This brother Xiao is really capable."
Xiao Yunfan followed the sound made by the man and said loudly: "Brother, don't move, lest the poison spread." At this time, a man next to the injured man lifted the fluorescent stone around his neck. Xiao Yunfan abandoned his stick, jumped next to the man, leaned down and said, "Come, let me take a look."
The injured man's cheeks couldn't help but twitched and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ouch..." Xiao Yunfan lifted up his trouser legs, and with the light of fluorite, he saw two blood holes on the man's calf, and there was a black circle around the blood holes. . He reached out and tapped the acupuncture point on the man's thigh, and then opened his mouth to suck out the poisonous blood from the man.
The man said: "This... this can't be done." Xiao Yunfan said: "This is a matter of life and death for this big brother. Is there anything I can't do?" Then he took drugs for the man. Every time he took a sip, he spit it to the side. It was black blood at first, then turned purple, and finally turned into bright red.
He took out a vial from his pocket, pulled out the stopper and sprinkled the powder on the man's wound. The man felt the wound was cold and cold, and his whole leg gradually regained consciousness. He said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Xiao." Xiao Yunfan stretched out his sleeves and wiped the blood from his lips and said: "It doesn't matter." He stood up and said to Tong Daniu: "Brother Tong, there is nothing wrong here. You guys should be careful and alert. "
While he was talking, a blue and white snake squirmed and curled up on Xiao Yunfan's trouser leg. The face of the man in front of him changed, he pointed at the snake and shouted: "Snake...snake, be careful..." Xiao Yunfan reached out with both hands, pinched seven inches of the snake, and threw it aside.
Snakes continued to crawl toward them, forming a semicircle in an instant. The man swallowed in fear. Xiao Yunfan stood in front of the two of them, raised his arms and said, "It doesn't matter." As he recited the Thousand Spirits Jue, the snake stopped moving forward and stood up, with its triangular head hissing out the message. Xiao Yunfan was not afraid, and he also imitated the snake's hissing and spit out the message.
The snakes seemed to understand something, and they fell on the ground one after another, and then crawled away. The man next to him said with surprise and joy: "Brother Xiao, I really belong to you." Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "It's just a small trick." But he thought in his heart: "These snakes are well-trained, so it can be seen that they are controlled by someone. The person who controls these venomous snakes Of course he is the mastermind behind the scenes.
No wonder the other party was able to escape the traps set by Brother Tong again and again. It turned out that the other party was using the snake as a guide. In this case, this person can also speak 'Spiritual Language', so I would like to learn it from him. The injured man just now said: "This monster seems to be able to do magic. I'm afraid we are no match for him." The man next to him said: "Have you not seen Brother Xiao's ability? That monster can do it, and so can Brother Xiao." "
The injured man said: "That's true. However, there are wolves and ferocious beasts everywhere in this mountain forest. The monster is in the light and we are in the dark, so we will inevitably suffer losses." Xiao Yunfan said: "It doesn't matter, there is a saying: soldiers will block it, and water will cover it with soil. I would like to see what this monster is capable of." 16 Reading
As soon as he finished speaking, a flying object flew towards everyone. The injured man sat on the ground and stretched out his hands to scratch, while the other man raised his short blade and waved it back and forth. Xiao Yunfan took a closer look and saw that it was a bat. This bat is much larger than usual, and its green eyes are like will-o'-the-wisps.
He unsheathed his sword with his backhand and waved it up and down. With a "squeaking" sound coming from its mouth, the bat circled in mid-air and then pounced down. People everywhere were also attacked by bats. This time, in addition to bats, there were many unknown birds and wild bees.
Even though Xiao Yunfan's Thousand Spirit Techniques were great, many species flew in at once, and he was trapped in a bitter battle one by one. He picked up the stick with one hand, moved forward a little, suddenly flew up, stuck the stick on the ground, hooked one end with one foot, and spun it like a windmill.
After the scabbard is filled with true energy, it becomes extremely powerful. Xiao Yunfan's body was like a whirlwind, knocking down the provocative bats, birds, and bees to the ground one by one. Although his swordsmanship is superb, there are still some oversights. Suddenly a bee stung him on his neck, and he was slightly distracted. The scabbard in his hand slowed down a bit, and suddenly a figure appeared beside him quickly and unexpectedly, hitting him hard on the back of the head.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt a severe pain in the back of his head, and his hands and feet were tied tightly with thick canes. The people around him were tied into rice dumplings just like him. Opposite him stood two huge monsters, which looked like humans, but these monsters had red hair on their hands and feet. Their eyes were like copper bells, and they would grin at these people from time to time, revealing their white teeth.
Tong Daniu and others had never seen such a monster before, and their faces turned pale with fear. They only listened to the old people in the village telling stories about savages. Who would have thought that such a monster really existed in the world. Fortunately, the savage was just pretending and had no intention of harming them.
Xiao Yunfan didn't feel scared when he saw the savage. Instead, he was a little curious and bared his teeth at the savage. Upon seeing this, Tong Daniu said: "Brother Xiao, I think you should not mess with this monster. Look at his palm, how can we still survive?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Brother Tong, I am just talking to them. We were caught here by monsters, and we haven’t seen their leader yet.”
Tong Daniu said with a bitter face: "Brother Xiao, we may be in trouble this time. When I was young, I heard the elders in the village talk about these savages. They are ferocious by nature and often feed on living animals. They are as strong as wild bulls. Usually jackals, tigers and leopards must avoid them. Alas, it seems we shouldn’t provoke them this time.”
Before he finished speaking, several men beside him started crying. I heard one man say: "Brother Tong, I miss my mother, and I don't want to die here." Another man said: "I am still married to a wife, and I have never touched a woman, and I don't want to die either."
His companion said: "Brother Tong didn't call you when he said to catch the mountain ghost. It was you who followed him. Are you scared now?" The man retorted: "Sun Yazi, if you hadn't followed We brag that if we catch the mountain ghost, we will all make a fortune, so why are we here?”
Sun Yazi said with a straight face: "Huh, that's because you are greedy, but you can't blame others. I didn't force you. You have your own legs, but now you blame me?" The man was beaten by him. He was so clumsy that he couldn't help but blush with anger.
Tong Daniu scolded: "Why are you making such a fuss? If you're a real man, your head will be scarred as big as the mouth of a bowl. We usually make a living by hunting, but now it's normal for us to die in the mountains. We cry bitterly." What does it look like?"
All the men were stunned by his words and lowered their heads one by one. At this time, there was a roar outside the cave, like a thunderbolt, shaking everyone's ears and causing pain. However, their hands and feet were tied one by one and they could not cover their ears. Xiao Yunfan looked forward intently and saw three leopards with shiny fur walking in.
When the two wild men saw the leopard, they immediately put away their ferocity and squatted aside like obedient kittens. Xiao Yunfan looked at the leopard. The leopard was seven feet long, with brown-yellow fur dotted with black spots. On its huge head, a pair of green eyes shone with a cold light.
The leading leopard shook its head, revealing its bloody mouth and sharp fangs, and its front paws rubbed against the ground from time to time. Xiao Yunfan concentrated his attention and let his eyes meet the leopard. When Tong Daniu saw the leopard approaching everyone step by step, he said loudly: "Beast, if you have the ability, you'd better eat Grandpa me first." As he spoke, the veins on his neck were also prominent.
Xiao Yunfan finally had a hard time gaining the trust of the leopard, but at the critical moment, Tong Daniu's shout made all his efforts go to waste. Fortunately, the leopard did not mean to hurt anyone, but slowly crawled to the ground and began to lick its front paws.
Not long after, a short figure walked in from outside the cave. Everyone's eyes turned to the short figure. When Tong Daniu saw that it was a girl, he hurriedly said: "My child, it's dangerous here, run away for your life." The girl ignored him and continued to move forward.
The girl has a round face, big eyes, and thin lips. A pair of eyes exuded the same cold light as the leopard.
A necklace of tooth bones hung around his neck, his upper body was wrapped in a leopard fur, and his chest was slightly swollen. The skin of the shoulders and arms is exposed, and the thighs are firm. She held a sharp spear in her left hand and stepped on the ground with her bare feet. When the leopards saw her coming, they all stepped forward and lowered their heads, allowing her to stroke her.
This girl is naturally what they call a "mountain ghost", but who would have thought that such a skinny girl could actually make these ferocious beasts surrender?
