Night.
Several people were standing outside the camp wearing black armor, holding weapons in one hand and torches in the other.
One of them was squatting down and looking carefully at the row of footprints on the ground.
These people were Wang Cheng and several of his confidants.
Wang Cheng stood up and said, "I really got lost!"
The footprints were obviously left recently, and the size matched Zhang Rui's figure very well.
"Sir, do we really want to investigate?"
Xu Chao looked worriedly at the direction where the footprints pointed, which was the misty forest.
Of course Wang Cheng didn't want to in his heart. Just kidding, walking around in the Valley of the Dead on such a dark day, did he really think of himself as the immortal protagonist in the novel?
Since he was almost killed by Lao Yanzi last time, he is now as careful as he can be.
However, it was his person who was lost. Wouldn't it be too chilling for his men if he didn't look for him?
He took the torch from Xu Chao's hand and said, "You go back first, and I'll look for it further."
Xu Chao and others felt warm in their hearts, not only because Wang Cheng asked them to go back, but also because Wang Cheng actually took risks for an unfamiliar subordinate.
Even Yang Si, who had always been heartless, felt a warm current in his heart.
"Sir, I'd better go with you!" Xu Chao said with some worry.
Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I don't come back in time, my brothers will be left to you!"
Leaving these words behind, he held a torch and walked along the footprints towards the misty forest.
…
The singing is melodious, as if there is a girl standing on the ridge of the field, working and singing at the same time.
"Xiaohong! Wait for me!"
Zhang Rui's pace was accelerating, walking faster and faster, his energy and blood surged, and finally he started running.
Like a gust of wind, he disappeared into a jungle. The tall poplar trees around him failed to hinder him. He ran faster and faster.
"Xiaohong! Wait for me!"
Zhang Rui chased after her hard. The figure was clearly right in front of him and she was running very slowly, but he just couldn't catch her.
faster!
Faster!
He ran selflessly, unaware of the heat rising from his body, which was the blood boiling.
This is already overdrawing his vitality!
Finally, not long after he ran into the forest, his foot missed and he stepped into the water.
His knees were submerged in the water, and the chill released by the cold pool water went straight from the soles of his feet into the sky, and he suddenly woke up.
There is a pool in front of you. There seems to be a bright moon at the bottom of the pool, making the entire water surface sparkling.
The mist rose, and a figure appeared in the pool, with its naked body facing Zhang Rui.
"Brother Ruizi, you're here!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Zhang Rui nodded subconsciously, but then said in horror: "No! You are not Xiaohong! How could Xiaohong appear here?"
He turned around and ran towards the shore. At this moment, the voice rang in his ears again.
"Brother Ruizi, I'm Xiaohong, don't you recognize me?"
The voice was full of temptation, but Zhang Rui felt like the hairs all over his body were rising and he ran to the shore desperately.
However, he forgot that his feet were in the water. His feet slipped and he fell into the water with a "pop".
"Brother Ruizi, don't you want to marry me? Where are you going?"
The voice sounded again, very close, as if it was speaking in his ear.
The heat from his breath tickled the back of his neck, and he seemed to feel a face appearing behind him.
"ah!!!"
He yelled, exerted all his strength in his limbs, and threw himself toward the shore.
However, his body seemed to be tied up by something, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break out of the water.
"don't want!!!"
…
Similar scenes to this are happening in other parts of the pool.
A Xuanwei stood in the water, his armor had been taken off, revealing the coat underneath.
The water in the pool was already up to his knees, but he still didn't know it. He took off his coat and continued walking deeper into the pool, shouting with a lewd smile: "Beauty! I'm coming!"
However, there is no so-called beauty in the depths of the pool, only a white skeleton without any flesh and blood.
He walked to the white bones, and the pool of water was now up to his chest, and he still didn't know it.
I saw him hugging the white bones and skull, and started to chew it like a peerless beauty, making a "chirp, chirp, chirp" sound from his mouth.
As everyone knows, every time he uttered "ba chi", his face turned pale.
That's a massive loss of Qi and blood in the body!
In just a few breaths, he went from a strong man weighing nearly 200 kilograms to a skinny man weighing less than 100 kilograms.
The white bones are becoming fuller. Blood vessels are growing on the bones first, and then flesh and blood...
"Woo!!"
The rapid loss of energy and blood finally allowed the Xuanwei to react, but he lost too much energy and blood and was unable to resist. Finally, he sank into the water with the bones.
After a while, a woman with disheveled hair and naked body emerged from the water.
Her skin was very white, as pale as paper. She had a beautiful face, but she didn't look alive at all. Her eyes were empty, which explained what a dead face was.
She stretched out a pair of long and slender hands, with long nails on her ten fingers. After swiping across her naked body, the skin was immediately cut, but no blood flowed out.
"Flesh! I finally have flesh and blood!"
She laughed happily, but the voice sounded like a ghost screaming, sharp, thin, and old.
At the same time, three more women walked out of the water. They were also naked, with skin as pale as paper. They all had beautiful faces, and there was no life on their faces.
Four women gathered together naked.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, we finally have our own bodies again."
"Yes! How many years!"
"With our bodies, we can finally walk normally like humans!"
…
The four women gathered around and chattered together. They were obviously happy, but the shrill ghostly screams couldn't make people happy at all.
After a while, the eldest sister standing among the four said, "Where is the fifth sister? Why didn't you see the fifth sister?"
At this time, a white skeleton came over. Although the mouth was talking, because there was no flesh and blood, it could only make a "click-click" sound when the upper and lower jaws hit each other.
"Escaped?" said the eldest sister.
Fifth sister nodded.
The eldest sister was expressionless at first, then suddenly smiled and said: "Don't worry! I feel that a blood food seems to have been found. This blood food has more energy and blood than the previous ones! If it swallows him, we won't be able to say more. further!"
"Then why are we still here? Go catch him quickly! Don't let him escape!"
"Walk!"
I saw four people jumping out of the water like onions on dry land, and then drifting to the shore like the wind.
In the forest.
A man in black, only about 1.6 meters tall, was running away desperately, shouting "Help" as he ran.
The man in black was none other than Zhang Rui, who had narrowly escaped death from the pool.
Behind him, four figures were chasing after him like the wind.
"Brother Ruizi, don't run away! Don't you want a wife? All our sisters will marry you!"
"Brother Ruizi! I want to have a baby with you!"
…
The ghostly screams seemed to be right next to his ears, and Zhang Rui was so frightened that he even urinated.
"Help! Help me!"
He was in a panic and didn't pay attention to his steps. He tripped over an old tree root and fell into the mud.
"Haha! Brother Ruizi, you can't run away now! You'd better go back with our sisters obediently!"
The voice came from behind. Zhang Rui looked back, and a pale face quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.
It’s over!
"ah!!"
"call out!"
At this moment, a torch was thrown from the opposite side, blocking the woman's way.
Zhang Rui felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes, and a man wearing black armor appeared in front of him.
"grown ups!"
Zhang Rui's nose felt sore, and he never expected that Captain Wang Cheng, whom he had never met before, would come to save him.
Wang Cheng pulled him up and said, "Are you familiar with the "Captain's Law"? The marks have been made, you go back first!"
Zhang Rui nodded hurriedly. From the first day he entered Wang Cheng's department, Xu Chao taught him step by step skills such as marking, surveying, and hiding.
These are clearly recorded in the "Captain's Law" and are compulsory courses for all Xuanwei.
"Now that you are here, why go back? Let us sisters serve you well!"
With a ghostly cry, the eldest sister and the other three sisters fell from the air one after another, surrounding the two of them.
"Wow! What a rich qi and blood! The qi and blood of this blood-eater is stronger than the ones we have swallowed before combined!"
"Sister, I don't feel like he is a human being. He is like a dragon cub that has devoured his flesh and blood. We sisters will definitely be able to break through the first level of cultivation!"
The four of them were still naked as they spoke, and their white skin was full of temptation under the firelight.
However, Wang Cheng didn't feel any beauty at all, he had already seen their true nature.
The four "alien" in front of me are of course neither humans nor ghosts, but red and pink skeletons that only appear in some ghost novels.
They were originally the skeletons of dead people, well preserved in the special geographical environment, and were inhabited by some ghost spirits. Over time, these spirits have acquired human habits, so they behave just like humans.
"Walk!"
After uttering a word, Wang Cheng suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the woman behind him.
Without saying a word, he punched the woman directly in the chest.
The woman's face was expressionless, with ten thin and long fingers blocking the front.
The fist hit her hands, but Wang Cheng's expression changed. The punch seemed to hit the air, leaving him with nowhere to use his prepared back move.
I saw that the woman was like a floating leaf, falling to more than ten meters away in an instant.
"What a powerful punch, I almost beat him to death! My dear brother, you are so cruel!"
She rubbed her hands. Although her words were full of pain, there were no wounds on her body.
Seeing that the gap had been opened, Wang Cheng immediately said to Zhang Rui: "Let's go!"
Zhang Rui ran away. With his strength, being here would only distract Wang Cheng.
