After eating steamed buns and pickles, it was almost dark. Wuhan is a big city. Even at that time, it was a very important strategic city in the Yangtze River Basin. But that day was the first time that I deliberately appreciated the night view of this city. Suddenly I realized that in the three years since I came here, I had never seriously seen the beauty of this city.
It's a little different from my hometown. The terrain here is flat with some small hills. In my hometown, the entire city forms a mountain, and the so-called night view is equally divided.
It can be very cold by the river at night. In order not to attract other people's attention, we did not light a fire. Qin Bukong has been sleeping wrapped in clothes since eating. His snoring can be clearly heard even by the river. . He seems to have put some things aside, and the main purpose of coming here is not to find the box, but to fight with the demon.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, I was also a little sleepy. Songzi's ability was limited, so Qin Bukong and I had to stay awake alone. So I told Songzi to rest for a while while I can still be strong for a while, and then I can be rotated later. So Songzi also started to take a nap next to Qin Bukong, while I was like a sentinel, pacing back and forth in front of the old pedestal to prevent me from dozing off if I sat still.
Just like this, almost two hours passed. The lights in the houses on the other side of the river were almost extinguished. The only light we had came from the street lights on the bridge. It was quiet everywhere except for the occasional train that pressed on the rails and passed under the bridge overhead. Passed, and as the sound faded away, it returned to deathly silence again.
I thought to myself that it was almost time for Qin Bukong to get up and change his shift, because he had been sleeping since dinner until now, more than six hours ago. I think he was energetic enough, and when I felt sleepy, I was also a little sleepy. Can't hold on. So I walked over and prepared to wake him up, but at this moment, I heard a low-pitched guttural sound coming from a place not far away from me.
I immediately became alert and looked in the direction of the sound involuntarily, but I did not wake Qin Bukong because I had to first determine what happened. When I was fleeing in the countryside, I would occasionally encounter some unfriendly dogs when walking at night, especially black dogs. Hidden under the cover of night, I couldn't see where they were at all, except for the deep guttural sound. Makes me feel like danger is approaching.
But when I followed the sound and looked over, in the extremely weak light, I seemed to see a dark shadow like an animal, about twenty or thirty meters away from us, slowly crawling towards us. , but in terms of size, it is much larger than a dog, as if it is the size of a panther. Although I had some ominous premonitions, I couldn't help myself at the moment, so I slowly put my hand into my bag, touched the flashlight, and the moment I took it out, I pointed it at the black shadow and shined it.
When the beam of my flashlight illuminated the black figure, it clearly felt as if it was frightened by the light, but this feeling of flinching was only fleeting, and it began to lie on the ground and rush towards us. , I didn’t see this guy clearly until I was almost halfway through the rush. Overall, it still looks like a person, but the proportions of this person's body are uncoordinatedly elongated. It has a face that looks like a woman, but because it is too dark, I can only add it from the outline. The difference is that the hair is very long and disheveled. It is flying freely in the air as it crawls and runs. And it seemed to have no clothes, but the skin all over its body looked as dark as a coal digger's, dry and loose. What surprised me the most was that it only had one hand and one foot. The hands and feet are not positioned on both sides of the trunk like normal people, but on the chest and crotch. The hands are quite short but the palms are large. The feet are very long, almost reaching half of the body. The feet are reverse bones. Not like a human, more like the anti-joints of cats, dogs and livestock.
Under the illumination of my flashlight, its speed increased a lot, but compared to the "drill" in the previous level, it seemed much bulkier. It is almost the same as what we encountered in every level before. It is emitting a faint black smoke, as if all the ghosts in this formation are like this. I knew this was the "Bane". Although it was not as ferocious and terrifying as I imagined, its fierce expression was as if we were the people it had a blood feud with. It looked so fierce that it must kill us.
I stretched out my feet to lift Qin Bukong's shoulders, and shouted loudly, Qin Bukong! Pine nuts! Get up! Appeared! Qin Bukong and Songzi suddenly woke up. Despite his age, Qin Bukong had been sleeping very deeply just now, but he got up very quickly this time. The pine nut suddenly retreated further away. I saw Qin Bukong stood up and was about to ask him what to do now. This guy was only about ten meters away from us. Qin Bukong said to me , you move to the right, I move to the left, whoever is being chased will hide, and the rest will be beaten.
Qin Bukong's tone was very calm when he said this. In fact, it was the purpose of us staying here to spend the night to attract this guy. It can be seen that he had already made plans and preparations, and Qin Bukong For a veteran like Kong, making such a decision seems to be the best way at the moment. There is only one enemy, and there is no historical record that "Ba" can transform into a clone. This is not Journey to the West. If the three of us spread out, even if the demon wants to attack, it can only choose one. Judging from its running speed, it is actually not much faster than a living person. This place is open enough, and there is still a way to dodge.
So I immediately stepped back to the side. At this moment, the distance between me and Qin Bukong was about seven or eight meters, and Songzi was behind us, so the three of us formed a triangle.
But that "monster" seemed to have a target already. When I backed away to the side, it actually adjusted its direction and ran straight towards me. When it was about five meters away from me, it started to open its mouth wide and let out " That kind of roar with a broken tongue, but I was immediately frightened by this mouth, because it was an extremely huge mouth. I couldn't believe that someone's mouth could grow so huge, as if it could bite me in one bite. Like it could swallow my whole head. I was scared, but my plan still couldn't be messed up, so I started to run further away. As I ran, I took out the machete and the master's order. I planned to wait and if I couldn't hide, I could only use attacks. Instead of defending, as long as the opponent can be forced to slow down for a moment, Qin Bukong will be given a chance.
And I also knew that Qin Bukong was also chasing me in my direction when I ran away. Ba was crawling and running like a wild beast, but it was still faster than me. After I escaped for about ten meters, I had a premonition that I was about to be caught. Maybe it was time to start resisting, so He immediately turned around and rushed towards the demon instead. He chanted a mantra in his mind and opened the scimitar in his right hand. The master's order in his left hand was also ready to attack. When it got closer, he first restrained its only limbs. , let alone make it incapacitated, but when I swung the knife towards its forelimbs, this guy actually used his hind limbs to push himself up, and then the one on the forelimbs had long pointed nails. His big hand immediately grabbed the blade of my scimitar.
After I was caught, it was as if a knife had been cut into the wood, and the blade was stuck. I tried several times and couldn't get the knife out, but this guy grabbed the knife with his bare hands, and it seemed like he wasn't hurt at all. , which means that the attack of the scimitar has no effect on it. This suddenly surprised me. Even if the damage was relatively weak before, it would never be ineffective going forward. In this way, my originally low chance of winning against it suddenly dropped sharply. In desperation, I stabbed the sharp end of Shimenling towards the back of the hand that was holding my blade. However, this shock made my arm numb, as if I was using a chisel on a big stone, even It feels like the other person's skin is harder than stone.
Now I was a little desperate. The two magic weapons that I was proud of failed at the same time in just a short moment, and I became a lamb to be slaughtered. Just when I was about to let go of the hand holding the scimitar and run away. At that moment, this guy grabbed the blade of the knife one step ahead of me and pulled me violently towards him.
This time I was caught off guard. Even if I let go of my hand when being pulled, I was still hit by the strong inertia. When I hit the belly, the touch seemed to have a certain softness. He immediately waved the division order and stabbed it, thinking that maybe the soft skin would be easier to pierce. But when my master's command came into contact with the skin on its belly, although it penetrated a lot, it was unable to exert any force. It was as if there was an extremely tough layer of skin, so tough that it could even block sharp objects. It was like I was stuck in a car tire. The strength in my hand was quickly removed by the elastic force. Then the forward force was too low to stop the force of its rebound. My hand suddenly The bullet popped out of my stomach with such force that I couldn't even hold on to the Shimen Ling. With a clang, the Shimen Ling fell to the ground almost two meters away from me.
And I was struggling to pick up the division order. I didn’t struggle even if the scimitar was caught to death. Anyway, it only had one hand. By grabbing the blade, at least I limited the mobility of its only hand. It cannot be said that it is of no use at all. But just when I was about to rush over to pick up the Shimen Ling, I found that my back felt like it was stuck to its belly, and the stickiness seemed to stick directly to me through my clothes. It was the same on my skin, and my sudden exertion actually tore my entire back, causing severe pain.
