The icy wind blew across Jiang Chenchuan's cheek, closely following the figure in front of him. Under the depressing atmosphere, the two monsters were still eating each other. Chu Dong took one look and chased after them.
The two of them went up and down, chasing the black shadow. The black figure sped up. He seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the sick village and always wanted to run into the darkness.
However, he was intercepted several times by Jiang Chenchuan, and he changed his direction in time. In the rapid collision, huge forces collided with each other, and the sharp sword directly penetrated his arm, and blood spattered when he pulled it out.
Normal skin was exposed under the torn clothes, but it was still covered in a lot of mud. Compared to those monsters, it was basically still human.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked coldly.
The man didn't respond, but just wanted to run away. Jiang Chenchuan grabbed his clothes, and with the roar of the wind, he counterattacked unceremoniously, repelling the attack of the stick and sword, which gave Jiang Chenchuan a chance to escape. A chance to get close, followed by a punch.
This time, the opponent would lose consciousness for a short time, and his eyes would suddenly be filled with stars. His feet would slip, and he would fall off the roof and roll down the slope.
A thud.
Blood slowly flowed down his forehead. This injury did not pose any life threat. Jiang Chenchuan jumped off the roof after him and landed next to him.
"Caught him?"
Chudong caught up with him panting.
"So be it."
Jiang Chenchuan knelt down, lifted up the black clothes that covered his face, and looked at his slightly panting face, with a few painful wails coming out from time to time.
"Are you okay? How are you feeling?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked friendly.
"pain……"
The man replied in a hoarse voice. It felt like he hadn't spoken for a long time, and he couldn't even speak fluently.
"So do you need help?"
Chudong said expressionlessly. She was paying attention to the battle situation on the other side. It seemed that the winner was about to be decided, but the scene was more bloody.
"Hurry...escape...quickly..."
The man supported the floor with his hands and climbed up with difficulty. There was the same fear in his eyes as the monster, and he noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in the darkness of the forest.
"What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Chenchuan immediately deduced that a black shadow was approaching. He turned his head when he heard the movement and found that the fight between the monsters had ended.
"escape……"
The man spoke with difficulty as he squeezed out words from his throat.
"Don't worry, it doesn't seem to be hurting us anymore."
Jiang Chenchuan explained in time.
The monster stopped on the high platform next to them, keeping a certain distance, and then became motionless. However, the horrible blood was still left along the corners of his mouth, and coupled with the scars on his body, he probably experienced a lot. Fight hard.
The man took a step back in fear, but seeing the calm and determined expressions of Jiang Chenchuan and Chu Dong, he carefully stretched out his hand to confirm that the monster would not hurt him before he stopped avoiding it.
"It's time...to hide...to hide, time..."
The man stammered, and as he spoke, he pointed to the depths of the forest, where there was some movement, and there seemed to be a bad premonition.
"Do you have a place to hide?"
Sure enough, just as Jiang Chenchuan had guessed, there was something that made them even more frightened. Perhaps it was this kind of existence that made them hide here and not dare to come out to see anyone.
Seeing the man nodding, Jiang Chenchuan and Chudong looked at each other, confirmed each other's thoughts, and decided to follow the man and hide.
"Can you take us with you? And her...she's injured...and needs treatment."
In order to facilitate understanding, he added gestures when saying these words. He pointed at the monster waiting obediently on the side.
The monster's eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshot eyes, and it slowly lowered its head as if to show weakness.
The man was a little hesitant at first, but after looking at the sword in Jiang Chenchuan's hand and Chu Dong's iceberg-like face, he probably felt that neither of them were easy to mess with, and if he tried to escape, he would be caught by Jiang Chenchuan, so he He nodded reluctantly and agreed to their request.
The darkness in the forest seems to be getting thicker, and there is a faint tendency to radiate outwards. It is almost traceless and impossible to resist. This is even more frightening than the curse of the sick village.
The man led them away from the place quickly, leaving only the body of a monster behind. Soon, the darkness spreading around them submerged the place.
They walked deeper along a muddy path, all the way down, and in an almost inconspicuous place, there was a cave-like intersection.
After taking a few steps, they had to go down again. The place they wanted to go seemed to be underground in the sick village.
"In the past, people would build underground passages like this in order to store food. It was originally meant to survive the cold winter, but I didn't expect that one day it would become the last home for survivors."
As he walked, Chudong explained softly that only after going deeper could he see a faint light in front of him.
When I got closer, I saw a burning bonfire. No one was found around it. There were some ventilation holes in the wall, and freezing cold air was seeping inside.
"This is a transfer station, a place similar to a rest stop. Walking further inside is the storage area."
Explaining to Jiang Chenchuan in early winter
^0^, only when you are close to the fire can you feel the beating warmth.
"take a break……"
The man pointed to the cushions next to the fire and some supplies. He took out some things that looked like food from the wooden box on the side and gave them to Jiang Chenchuan and Chudong.
Jiang Chenchuan lowered his head, glanced at it, and then handed it to the monster following behind. Although she had lost her human appearance, as long as she was a human, she should be treated as one.
The monster was obviously taken aback, but he still stretched out the part that he didn't know was a hand and took it.
The man walked to the door, closed it, and shut out all the darkness. It could be seen that he was still afraid of the monster, and even his movements became cautious around her.
Warmth and coldness are blocked. Only at this point can we truly relax and get a short rest.
The man sat down next to the fire with relief, the blood had solidified on his forehead, and he stared at the burning wood in front of him without saying a word.
"Is there anything for healing? I'll bandage it for you."
Jiang Chenchuan asked.
The man slowly raised his head, and only endless fear and exhaustion could be seen in his eyes. He shook his head and began to be in a long daze again.
I don't know how much time passed, but it seemed that he had enough rest. The man took a breath, ate something, and then stood up again.
Only then did Jiang Chenchuan notice that a pale, withered hand slowly stretched out from the darkness behind the man.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
