Late at night, in the wild.
When Lao Ba stumbled out the phrase "There is a ghost on the mountain", a cold wind seemed to blow through the entire camp.
Everyone present shivered for no reason.
Lu Ming's tent was suddenly opened, and Lu Ming strode out.
Look at Lao Ba.
They saw that this relatively strong man was shivering like a quail at the moment. There were clear urine marks on his hemp-colored pants. There were no injuries or blood stains on his body, but his face was pale and his pupils were dilated to the limit. He was obviously frightened. .
Walking to Lao Ba, Lu Ming slapped him away.
With the crisp sound of "pa", Lao Ba was immediately slapped to the ground... But even so, he did not come back to his senses, but kept mumbling words such as "dead" and "all dead".
"People were petrified."
Lu Ming shook his head and sighed, there was nothing he could do about it.
And with Lao Ba's appearance, it was obvious that there was no way to get any accurate information from him.
However, the saying that there is a ghost on the mountain is actually enough.
…
Cao Ang grinned on the side, but his smile was a bit stiff.
"This old man may have been hit by evil spirits. Where in the world can ghosts come from..."
He said this, but his legs were trembling a little.
Lu Ming said nothing, but looked deeply at Qinglin Mountain in the distance where Yuanhe Sword Sect was located, and remained silent for a long time.
Until Cao Ang's voice rang in his ears again.
"But Chen Qi is gone. This is always a problem. Zhang Wang, let's take a few brothers up the mountain to have a look. If it is really the Yuanhe Sword Sect who has detained someone..."
"Don't go." Lu Ming suddenly spoke and said this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming had already clasped the hilt of his sword and walked towards the direction of the horse.
As he walked, he continued.
"Cao Ang, take people to wait at the foot of the mountain. Don't worry about what happens. Don't go up the mountain."
"Zhang Wang, you take people on horseback and go to the nearest city immediately, find the city lord, and tell him that the Yuanhe Sword Sect has been beset by a ghost."
These two orders made Cao Ang and Zhang Wang stunned for a moment, and then their expressions immediately changed...
Obviously, they understood the meaning of Lu Ming's words.
Seeing Lu Ming striding to the horse and getting on his horse, Cao Ang couldn't help but said quickly.
"Boss, if there is really something going on here, we might as well run away..."
Lu Ming glanced at Cao Ang coldly.
run?
This Cao Ang's ability to bully the weak will turn into soft bones when he encounters the strong.
Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to get the secrets of the exercises?
As for saying there are ghosts on the mountain...
Yes, there is a high probability that there is something strange on the mountain!
But without even seeing it, how could Lu Ming know how vicious and evil that thing was?
Just the word "ghost" can scare Lu Ming so much that he doesn't even try?
How could this be possible! ?
He raised his whip and spurred Ma Lu Ming to run away. Looking at the low Qinglin Mountain in the distance, Lu Ming slowly pursed his lips.
"Let me see what you are!"
…
Admittedly, Lu Ming was a little uneasy deep down.
People are not scary, because no matter how strong they are, they will die as long as they are killed.
Even if Lu Ming was killed by someone stronger than him, at least Lu Ming would know how he was defeated and how he died.
But things like ghosts and monsters... Lu Ming felt that his expertise was inappropriate, and he was scared to confront him.
However, when he arrived at the foot of Qinglin Mountain, Lu Ming had already restrained all useless emotions.
After tying the horse to a tree at the foot of the mountain, Lu Ming took a deep breath and climbed up the mountain with his sword in hand.
He walked slowly and cautiously, which was also the fundamental reason why he went up the mountain without any men - being able to get the secret book without disturbing the ghosts was obviously the most perfect result. The more people there, the greater the noise, and the danger would be magnified.
Qinglin Mountain is not big. Compared with Daliang Mountain, it is about the size of a small earthbag.
There are only two simple roads up the mountain - a main road and a hidden path.
Lu Ming took the trail because it was the route taken by Chen Qi and others.
When he reached about the mountainside, Lu Ming suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, there were bloodstains and broken bones.
Lu Ming was able to identify the deceased from the blood-stained clothes.
If not Chen Qi and his party, who are they?
"Um."
Looking at the broken pieces on the ground, Lu Ming slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"This thing is a bit cruel. It can't even be assembled from a larger corpse."
After carefully identifying the scars, Lu Ming got more information.
"Two weird things...but they don't act together."
"The first thing that came into contact with Chen Qi and the others was a beast-like monster. It also killed Chen Qi and the others and tore them into pieces."
"But it didn't eat anyone, and then the thing went all the way up the mountain."
"Not long after it left, another monster appeared here."
"And this monster..."
Looking at the thigh bone covered with bite marks on the ground, Lu Ming looked deeply.
"This thing followed the 'beast' and ate the bodies of Chen Qi and others who were killed by the 'beast'."
As for why it wasn't real beasts like wolves and bears that ate the bodies of Chen Qi and others...
Bite marks.
The bite marks on the bones are the bite marks of human teeth.
That thing seems to have a human mouth...
Taking a deep breath to suppress the waves in his heart, Lu Ming drew out his long sword and walked slowly up the mountain along the only route.
…
The mountain gate of Yuanhe Sword Sect is located at the top of Qinglin Mountain.
It is said to be a sect, but given its weak strength, the size of the sect is not large - similar to a small villa.
There are more than 20 formal disciples and more than 30 handyman disciples in the sect, which means there are only about fifty people in total.
Following the path to the backyard of the Yuanhe Sword Sect, Lu Ming walked in through the gap in the wall and officially entered the Yuanhe Sword Sect.
There was silence all around, except for the strong smell of blood.
Looking around, a large amount of blood and corpses appeared in front of his eyes. Because the corpse was too mutilated, Lu Ming was unable to find more information from the corpse.
Suddenly, two vague voices came from the wind.
"Bah~~"
"ah……"
A sound similar to chewing.
There was a dying groan.
Looking away, Lu Ming's eyes soon fell on a courtyard of the Yuanhe Sword Sect.
And there is the residence of Lei Yifan, the leader of Yuanhe Sword Sect.
…
"Bah~~"
"Bah~"
"Save...save...uh~"
The closer we got to the courtyard, the sounds of chewing and wailing became clearer and clearer.
Until Lu Ming made a circle and came to the main entrance of the courtyard.
At this moment, the door is wide open, and the scene in the courtyard can be clearly seen through the door.
Just one glance made Lu Ming's eyes twitch and his mouth twitch.
"grass."
In the courtyard, the walls were covered in blood.
A large number of corpses wearing Yuanhe Sword Sect uniforms were scattered all over the ground.
And deep in the courtyard, a black thing as big as a bull, with its whole body rotten, was bowing its head on a person's chest, and the chirping sound came from underneath it.
Maybe it was the sound of 'fuck' that alerted the thing, and it suddenly looked up at Lu Ming.
There was no flesh on his face, and the pale bones were mixed with red blood and flesh, which was particularly eye-catching. There were no eyes in the eye sockets, only two dark green will-o'-the-wisps, emitting a ferocious light in the night.
There were no traces of sword marks on his body. There were three sword marks that penetrated the flesh and bones but did not affect his ability to move.
And under Lu Ming's gaze, the wound was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Its hind legs were dangling, only skin and flesh were left connected, and the scars looked like sword wounds.
Look down again.
Lu Ming saw the leader of the Yuanhe Sword Sect: Lei Yifan.
He was about forty years old, and he was lying under the monster at the moment, with his eyes blank and a slight moan coming from his mouth.
The pale face, the dull eyes, the body twitching with pain...
He's not dead yet.
Because this monster likes to eat alive...
Maybe because he realized that Lu Ming was not easy to mess with, or maybe because he had enough food, the viciousness of this thing was much weaker. After a moment of confrontation between one person and one monster, the monster that looked like a bear but not a bear lowered its head again, resembling a bear. The mouthpiece of the kiss once again penetrated Lei Yifan's chest.
Lu Ming faintly saw the half-eaten lung lobe.
"Bah~"
"Bah~"
The sound swayed again...
Lei Yifan suddenly said: "Help...save..."
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed to the corner of the courtyard.
Lu Ming turned his eyes again and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl sitting on the ground in a corner of the courtyard, staring blankly at the tragedy in front of him.
She was not injured, but she was curled up in the corner, her legs were also curled up, her hands were holding her knees, her pupils were trembling randomly, and her whole body was shaking.
Lei Yifan got a daughter in middle age, whom he loved very much. Her name was Lei Jia.
Looking at the girl's blood-stained profile, Lu Ming suddenly took a deep breath.
Looking at Lei Yifan whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, Lu Ming suddenly said.
"Kung Fu, I'm here for the skills of your Yuanhe Sword Sect."
"Bed...under the bed...help...please..."
The sound disturbed the furbolg, and the furbolg suddenly raised its head and looked at Lu Ming. It kissed Lu Ming and issued a silent threat to Lu Ming with fierce intent.
But after seeing that Lu Ming didn't make any move, the furbolg lowered his head again and began to enjoy the 'delicious food'.
Lu Ming took another breath, walked around the furbolg with his long sword, and walked into the house behind.
There was a rummaging sound.
Not long after, Lu Ming walked out of the room, with four more secret books in his bag.
The sixth level of true power: Yuanhexin method.
Sixth-grade swordsmanship: Yuanhe Yin Lei Sword.
Sixth level body technique: Bagua Thunder Step.
Sixth level secret technique: Zhou Tian's method of inducing orifices.
These four techniques are undoubtedly the secrets of the Yuanhe Sword Sect, but Lu Ming mastered them all with ease.
…
Following the route he took to enter the house just now, Lu Ming bypassed the furbolg and headed towards the door.
He did not go in the direction of Lei Jia, nor did he look at Lei Jia.
This scene made Lei Yifan open his mouth.
The light of hope in my eyes disappeared instantly...
And he himself was holding on for a breath. As soon as the breath was released at this moment, he could no longer maintain his life breath.
With a tilt of his head, he was dead.
And at the moment when Lei Yifan died suddenly, the furbolg also raised his head.
It tilted its head and glanced at the food under it, then quickly shook its head humanely.
Food won’t taste good if it’s dead…
Therefore, the furbolg raised his head naturally, and his eyes first fell on Lu Ming, who had arrived at the door.
After a quick glance, the furbolg turned back and looked at the only living person left in the courtyard: Lei Jia.
The internal organs of a sixth-level warrior are enough to fill the empty belly of a furbolg.
The 'beast', on the other hand, is unwilling to hunt prey that is too strong when it is not hungry.
So the choice is clear at a glance.
"Woooooo~~"
A sound like the cry of an evil spirit rang out from the furbolg's mouth.
It dragged its remaining legs and slowly walked towards Lei Jia.
The furbolg is ferocious, the swordsman is far away, and the girl is helpless...
Until there was a "bang".
The door was closed heavily, but Lu Ming still stayed in the courtyard.
While locking the courtyard door, Lu Ming spoke, his voice changing from weak to strong.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah~"
"You're fucking annoying me!"
Suddenly looking back at the furbolg, a ferocious black light exploded from his eyes. Veins popped up on Lu Ming's face, and the ferocious color in his eyes boiled!
"Fuck me, didn't your mother teach you not to make noises while eating!?"
"Do you even know what politeness is!?"
