The sheep-headed man who was eating paused and suddenly looked up. In the dim shadow, facing them was a sheep's head with gray hair, horns carved with dragon patterns, and a pair of pitch-black eyes with no whites, looking at them with a smile.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also frightened by this scene.
[Damn it, it seems like it already knew where the anchors and the others were hiding...]
[So weird, what on earth is this? He has a sheep's head and eats people. 】
[The anchor is unlucky and encounters a copy of the mini-boss. 】
[Players who are targeted by the sheep-headed men cannot run away. They have marks on them and will be found wherever they run. 】
[Spoilers blocked]
Jiang Yao didn't know that he had been marked, so he immediately chose to run away.
Helianyin opened the way ahead, passing through tall and strong ancient trees one after another. The bent and intersecting branches were like twisting snake shadows. The biting rain fell on his face. He didn't care at all, stepping on the messy trees. The grass moves forward.
The leaves rustled against each other. The sheep-headed man's legs were slightly arched like those of a sheep. He could jump very well and run very fast. But the woods are complicated and it’s easy to get lost, and it’s raining, which can easily confuse your sense of smell.
Jiang Yao, who was running behind, quickly realized something was wrong. The sheep-headed man was always following not far away, and no matter how they ran, they never lost even half a step.
Something is wrong.
Jiang Yao ran faster and gestured to Helianyin.
After passing through the mysterious realm, they had a tacit understanding and knew each other's thoughts with just one glance.
The situation is urgent, and A-Dong has the Yinlin Mountain Code, which is enough to protect himself. Jiang Yao was not worried about her and signaled A-Dong to run hard. She and Helianyin no longer moved forward, but ran to the left and right sides.
The three of them spread out. The sheep-headed man paused for a moment and then chose to chase Jiang Yao.
Compared to them, the sheep-headed man seemed to be taking a leisurely pace, as if he was not worried about their ability to escape, nor did he take them seriously. He was like a master hunter in the jungle, handling them with ease.
However.
Jiang Yao, who was running forward, suddenly stopped.
The rain dripping down from the thick and lush trees made the sheep-headed man's dark eyes look a little surprised.
Since its hunting, it has never encountered a human being who has given up on life like her.
Of course, no matter how hard they run, if there is a mark, it will definitely find them.
So whether they escape or not, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
The reason why the sheep-headed men chased them like sheep was that they did not kill them immediately. It's because it's full, and when it's full, it likes to watch its prey flee in panic.
This is the bad taste of it.
Jiang Yaozai met its eyes that were no different from those of human beings, and could see through its thoughts at a glance.
She took advantage of this.
After all, in the eyes of the sheep-headed people, the three of them were ragged and weak. Any wild beast in the mountains and forests is stronger than them.
It was only a matter of time before it killed them, just like when they were hiding in the bushes, it actually knew they were nearby, but pretended not to know and continued to eat.
"Although I don't know who you are, if you show your body to the people in the village, you should be able to get a lot of useful clues."
Jiang Yao tightened his wristband and swung the folding knife in his hand, which was washed by the rain and became shiny.
The sheep-headed man opened his bloody mouth, and the fishy wind hit his face.
It is extremely fast, and it can be seen from its sudden attack that the sheep-headed man can understand human speech.
Jiang Yao hid in a towering ancient tree next to him and kept mocking it.
"No, no, no, is that all you have?"
The sheep-headed man was completely excited, and let out an ear-splitting scream from his throat. He slapped the thick old tree in pieces, crushed the weeds and dead branches, and hit her hard.
Jiang Yao moved nimbly to avoid its attacks, and from time to time took the opportunity to stab it with a knife.
The goat-headed man's body is hard and burly, and the sharp knife only penetrates the fur, not the flesh.
Moreover, its strength was so amazing that even the trees used as cover were cut down by its palm.
Tall and lush trees collapsed, and the ground shook.
Jiang Yao glanced at Helianyin, who was running towards him, and immediately reminded the sheep-headed man.
"Someone is attacking!"
The sheep-headed man's attack slowed down, and he seemed to feel something, and turned to look behind him.
The next second, Jiang Yao clenched his fist and used all his strength to stab the folding knife into the sheep-headed man's eye.
'Puff'
Thick blood continued to overflow. Jiang Yao stopped when he felt good and ran away after stabbing him. Even so, his left shoulder was still swung by the sheep-headed man indiscriminately.
The wound was as deep as the bone, and she didn't bother to check it. She simply tightened it with a rag wrapped around her wrist while running, barely stopping the bleeding.
Helianyin jumped directly onto the shoulders of the sheep-headed man, held its head with both hands, and turned with strength. There was only a "click" sound, and the head of the sheep-headed man separated and fell suddenly.
"Ho ho ho..."
Helianyin was panting. This body was so weak that it could not bear her strength. Both arms were dislocated and hung at her sides.
Her breath was messy, and her legs shook twice, but she managed to stand firm without falling.
She ignored her breath and strode to Jiang Yao's side. When she saw the injury on her left shoulder, she frowned tightly and twisted into a knot.
"Your injury..."
Jiang Yao was not much better. In order to avoid the attack of the sheep-headed man, he had to concentrate on it. During this period, he had to be careful not to get his legs caught in the weeds. The ground was slippery and it was extremely easy to fall.
She sat slumped next to a wooden pile, blood seeping through the coarse cloth and staining it red. Seeing He Lianyin coming and asking about her injury, Jiang Yao shook his head in response.
"It's not a big deal."
Without Helianyin, Jiang Yao would have been more seriously injured.
Their bodies are too weak, and they only have a small folding knife. It is difficult for them to deal with a goat-headed man at the peak of the terror level.
The sky was getting whiter, but it was still raining, the air was humid, and the rough cloth clung to my body, making me very uncomfortable.
'簌簌'
After hearing the noise, A Dong, who ran back, saw that they were all injured.
Her eyes were slightly red.
"I, found the medicine." A Dong was not idle when he ran away, observing the green plants and weeds growing in the mountain forest. The climate is humid all year round, the plants grow rapidly, and there are many useful medicinal materials.
She ground up the herbs used to treat trauma, mixed them with tree clothing that disinfected and suppressed infection, and applied it on Jiang Yao's left shoulder.
The blood in the wound will stop, but the effect of the medicine will be weakened when exposed to water, so you still need to find a place to rest.
Helianyin's dislocated arm was fixed by A Dong, and a vine was pulled out. Just as he tied the body of the sheep-headed man, he found that the sheep's head was missing in a blink of an eye.
"The sheep's head disappeared."
Helianyin, who had searched nearby several times, dragged the body over and said calmly.
Jiang Yao calmed down, ate a pack of compressed biscuits, and slowly recovered his strength.
Hearing this, she asked A Dong for the code.
A Dong, who was busy pulling vines to make baskets, took out the code from his pocket.
Jiang Yao looked at the third rule [Plants and trees are alive, please offer dragon meat to the mountain god so as not to get lost in it. 】
The dragon meat is probably this sheep head.
