Qi Huan explored the cave for a while, but found no movement at all. The three people below could hardly wait any longer. After all, it was so dark that it was easy to just stand there. It was good to feed the mosquitoes at the moment, but a big bear might be hungry later.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the rock wall, followed by a faint tremor from the ground, which gradually became more violent. An uneasy premonition naturally came over them, and they all looked up at the cave. Bai Ya drew out his two weapons, and Liu Shenghan tightened his grip on Mo Dao. At the next moment, Qi Huan suddenly jumped down from above, but did not stop. He passed by the three of them without slowing down at all. He just shouted:
"Run! Run!"
None of them knew what he was talking about—but why. A huge black shadow rushed out of the hole. It was so huge that it even cracked the stone wall. what is it? How did you get in? Is there more than one cave entrance here? Bai Ya didn't have time to think about it, he only knew that if that body type were to fight one on one, he would probably be trampled into the ground. When he turned around, the other two girls reacted much faster than him and ran away without hesitation. Jun Aoyan took the lead to catch up with Qi Huan, and she shouted to him loudly from behind:
"What the hell is that?!"
"How did I know!" Qi Huan didn't even look back, "There are still a bunch of bones inside, it's scary to death!"
The two finally ran side by side, and Bai Ya suddenly appeared in the middle. His blade was about to scratch Qi Huan. Qi Huan immediately distanced himself and scolded angrily: "What are you doing! Don't let me get eaten by monsters and kill you!"
"Humph, you also know that it's a monster."
"Nonsense! Is my nose blocked by such a strong evil spirit?"
"The evil spirit is not just something that can be smelled by the nose."
"That was a metaphor!"
"You guys are still chatting?!"
Jun Aoyan really didn't know where they got this free time. She didn't even dare to look back. They put some distance between themselves and the figure, but not yet safe enough. what is that? At first glance, she would have thought it was a bear, but now it seemed it wasn't. Its running posture is not as clumsy as that of a bear. It drags such a huge body with an indescribable agility. Although its speed is not very fast, its back legs can reach forward over its two forearms every time, and it is simply climbing on the ground. From this point of view, it looks more like a mutated ape. Thick dust and gravel flew behind it, and any rocks or trees were ignored by it. The monster was rampaging all the way, moving unimpeded and pursuing them desperately.
"Where is Shenghan?!" Aoyan realized that she was not with them. She was probably the one carrying the lightest weight, but no one saw her now. Maybe she is not a martial arts practitioner and her physical fitness is not as good as theirs. Qi Huan immediately turned around and found that Liu Shenghan was far away from them. She suddenly tripped and fell to the ground awkwardly. Qi Huan felt his heart drop hard. But the monster did not stop, but continued to move forward. I wonder if it stepped on Liu Shenghan.
"We have to find a way!"
"any solution?!"
Jun Aoyan didn't know what else he could think of. Carrying a heavy soldier, her arms didn't even have time to hurt. She knew that as soon as she stopped, her arm would feel severe pain in an instant, as if it was useless. But what she and Bai Ya didn't expect was that Qi Huan suddenly stopped and stopped in place. The two of them also slowed down, but their heartbeats were getting faster and faster under the influence of their emotions and physical conditions.
What they didn't expect was that Qi Huan suddenly pulled out several white things. After taking a closer look, it turned out to be the paper figurine given to him by the God of Incense. Bai Ya instantly understood that he wanted to use some onmyoji to confuse the audience. After all, although this monster is huge, its head doesn't look very easy to use.
I saw Qi Huan muttering something in his mouth, rubbing out a few paper figures and drawing arcs in the air. Then, he slammed the paper figure on the ground in front of him, and four lines of white smoke rose from the ground. The smoke quickly cleared, and four people stood there. The body shape, height and clothing were exactly the same as the four of them, except that there was a cross on their faces. Qi Huan made another finger move, and the four dummies turned around in unison, and suddenly rushed towards the monster. The two like Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan were still holding weapons. I wonder if this appearance can deceive the monster. Just as Bai Ya was thinking about it, Qi Huan raised his hand again, and a small wooden crossbow shot out from his sleeve. The speed of the hidden weapon was much faster than that of "people", and it penetrated deeply into the monster's face. Although it was a little biased, it penetrated the left side of its face. The ape-like monster made an even more deafening "heehee" sound, which made people's hair stand on end.
"It's Bibi." Qi Huan wiped his sweat.
"Bibi?"
"A big monster like a monkey that makes this strange sound. It specializes in eating women. The bones I saw in the cave must belong to women. According to the rules here, most of them were forced to worship by the villagers. There must be some nearby. The village... let’s go around here first and go back to find Shenghan.”
If the prey that has been chasing suddenly turns around and rushes towards the hunter, it can really stun the hunter for a while. In particular, the secret sign also had a somewhat intimidating effect. But after being stunned, he became angry. A monster named Bibi rushed over and slapped the four oncoming dummies. With a "pop" sound, the four decent-looking humanoid shapes immediately turned back into four broken pieces of paper and fell to the ground. Bibi was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that she had been deceived. It roared sharply, as if conveying an unspeakable rage.
It all happened too fast and didn't leave them enough time. Jun Aoyan opened her mouth wide in surprise and choked out:
"The God of Fragrance really didn't praise you..."
"Ah this..."
"waste."
Bai Ya's knife lay in front of his eyes. He bent slightly and assessed the distance and combat effectiveness. The strategy changed so quickly that Jun Aoyan felt unsure, not to mention that now was the time when it was the most angry. Anger can not only control people's power, but also monsters. However, they noticed that Bibi did not look in their direction, but looked around and suddenly rushed in another direction. They were all stunned, but they did not let down their guard easily, but continued to stare at it. Bibi rushed to a big tree and chopped it off with one slap. The jagged section looked very scary. It picked up another stone and smashed it into the open space, making a deep pit. It consumes its own energy inexplicably, as if it is possessed by an evil spirit, and whoever stops it will die. Finally, it turned its head and rushed towards a huge rock on their side. Without any hesitation, it just hit it head-on.
The force was so severe that they heard a click, its head was opened and its neck was probably broken. Black blood spattered on the rocks, making them dirty. The three of them looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why. Finally, Bai Ya tentatively walked over and poked it with the tip of his knife, but there was no reaction. This guy is really big, standing about two feet tall. It's a pity that it can no longer stand up and is completely dead. Qi Huan noticed that there were some gaps on the side of this huge rock, which had been moved by monsters.
Liu Shenghan suddenly walked out from behind Bibi's body. As she walked, she dusted herself off. It seemed that she was lucky enough to be passed over by Bibi. She held a long pen in her hand. They had only seen it once at the Temple of Incense, when she was revising the painting. She twirled the pen lightly and put it back.
Jun Aoyan rushed forward and hugged her. After a while, she was finally willing to let go of her hands and held Shenghan's arms with some excitement.
"Great, you're okay! I almost thought..."
"Awesome." Bai Ya rarely praised anyone, "What was that just now? Illusion?"
"It's okay to understand it that way. It's all an illusion. Looking from its direction, these earth, wood, grass and rocks are another layout."
Qi Huan also breathed a sigh of relief. It was great since he was fine. But he was somewhat curious about the pen, so he asked:
"We were planning to find you. Fortunately, nothing happened. We are really lucky. By the way, you also know some Yin and Yang magic? Do you use a pen to perform magic? I rarely see such a magic weapon."
“The world is full of wonders, and there are still many things you haven’t seen.”
"Haha, yes."
At this moment, there was another rustling sound around them, and they immediately became alert and prepared to fight. Unexpectedly, a child jumped out from the bushes. He was short, and his eyes were actually green, and shimmered at night, like a wolf. His hair was messy and white, and he looked like a monster. But there was no demonic energy coming from him. Just before a few people relaxed their vigilance, he actually jumped up with joy.
"Did you kill this monster? You are so powerful! It is too troublesome, and we have been unable to do anything about it!"
As soon as the bold little boy finished speaking, several more people appeared around him. These people are all adults, tall, armed with weapons, and their faces covered with black cloth. If it's broken, don't encounter a monster on your front foot, or a bandit on your back foot, right? But there were only a dozen people, and Bai was not afraid at all. At this time, a man stepped forward and suddenly put down his weapon. He pulled the little boy back and took off the black cloth himself, showing an expression of joy.
"Two young heroes and two female heroes, you have really helped us a lot!"
At this time, several people were a little confused.
The "bandits" reported their homes and said that they were villagers from a nearby small village. There are only about twenty households in that mountain village, which is almost isolated from the world. They have been oppressed by monsters from all sides for a long time, especially this monster named Bibi. It always comes to the village to wreak havoc, and only a few families are left in the originally large mountain village. It didn't stop invading the village until the mountain people were forced to sacrifice a woman every six months. But even so, eating this way is not enough. If you continue to eat, this village will become extinct. In desperation, several young men in the village gathered together and squatted at Bibi's lair every day, then set up traps nearby, and then tried to find ways to capture him. Unexpectedly, a few of them had a chance to help them solve this big trouble.
Food and accommodation are now available. They followed a few young people back and found that the location was actually not very far away. Seeing the big monster's body being tied up and carried back, almost all the mountain people came out to see it. After hearing about the heroic deeds of these four outsiders, the poor village lit candles all night and every house was brightly lit, insisting on celebrating.
Good people are rewarded, is that what it means?
