"It's really strange. The scream just now clearly came from here!" Someone with sharp ears got in front of Broom Eyebrow and looked around.
"Could it be that we were negligent?" someone next to us asked.
"How is that possible?" The person who spoke before stopped and said, "We are still close to a thousand people after all! We can't hide even a fly, not to mention people, on this journey!"
As he spoke, the man stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. He saw a man sitting on the ground not far away with his back to them, his head hanging down as if he was looking at something.
"Eh? How come there are still people who are so nimble and can be one step ahead of me?" The man was a little surprised and shouted to the front: "Brother over there, don't be in such a hurry. You will be alone and in danger later." No one cares about you!"
"Who are you talking to?" Broom Eyebrow, who was a head shorter than this man, asked curiously.
"Oh, it's okay! It's just that a brother rushed ahead of us!" The man shrugged.
"You said there was someone in front of me?" Broom Eyebrow asked strangely, "But since I started walking, you are the only one walking in front of me! Could it be that..."
Broom Eyebrow took a deep breath, took a few quick steps, and sure enough, saw a familiar figure sitting in the distance with his back to them.
"You are so careful! We have found you. Why are you sitting there if you don't want to follow the army?"
"..." The thin-lipped man didn't seem to hear anything and didn't respond.
"I said..." The man in front raised his brow, "Does your friend have a bad ear?"
"Probably...no..." Because they didn't have much interaction, Broom Eyebrow was a little unsure, "Go over and have a look before we talk!"
"Little friend...that person is already..." Lao Xian noticed something unusual and reminded him aloud.
"I know..." Wu Fan nodded, and then said hurriedly: "Something is wrong, please be careful!"
"Don't worry, little brother! That guy is not only easy to listen to, but also has great movement skills!" Someone next to Wu Fan disagreed. It seems that they have some intersection.
"Don't worry! I don't feel any threat here! That guy may have been fascinated by the scenery and asked me to wake him up!" As expected, the one called Shunfeng Er didn't care, and moved forward in three steps and two steps at a time.
"Brother, what do you think you are doing with your drooped head? What is it that makes you look so fascinated?" The man looked over with a smile, then suddenly his smile froze, and he craned his neck and looked around. The blood on his body instantly disappeared without a trace.
"He didn't...vomit..." Before the man could finish his words, he suddenly stumbled and retched.
"Everyone, be careful!" Broom Eyebrow suddenly realized something was not going well, and hurriedly shouted behind him, and then chased after him with a quick step.
The distance was getting closer and closer, Broom Eyebrow finally saw the situation in front of him clearly, and felt a sense of horror. Although he didn't react as violently as Shunfeng Er, he was still a little weak in his bones and muscles. Fortunately, he supported the long knife in time so that he didn't lose his composure.
The thin-lipped man in front of him was drooping his head. At this moment, there was nothing above his neck!
He suppressed his nausea and looked at it intently, and then the emotions in his heart became even more complicated. Although the scars on the thin-lipped man's neck were irregular, they were very obvious. If he had to use words to describe it, it was as if something had been attached to the skin and bones. Just bite it off!
"Back... back... back quickly..." Broom Eyebrow felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart and hurriedly pulled up Shun Feng Er to leave.
But just as he turned around, he felt a chill on his head, and disappeared without a trace in the next moment.
"thump…"
Before Broom Eyebrow could react, Shunfeng Er fell to the ground beside him, unable to even utter a muffled cry...
Broom Eyebrow's body had stiffened into a stone, and he could only look down with the corner of his eyes. Then he saw that Shunfeng Er, like the thin-lipped man, had been shaved into a "bald head"!
Recalling the chill on his head just now, Broom Eyebrow really didn't know whether he should be happy or grateful. He had always been dissatisfied with his height, but he didn't expect to come back with his life today!
…
"Broom Eyebrow, what's going on over there?" A careful voice made the lean man dare not take it lightly, and he hurriedly bowed down and prepared to step forward to help.
But just when he stopped everyone, he saw a
The black shadow passed over the head of the broom brow, making the windy ear instantly "dwarfed".
"Ah! What is this!"
"Run away!"
At the same time, countless black shadows were seen falling from the sky, swinging among the crowd. Every time a swing reached a low point, it would harvest a human head, forming one scarlet fountain after another, making breathing difficult. Extremely viscous.
In contrast, those who were tall or short were more miserable. They either had their heads shaved off and left two eyeballs dangling, or they screamed in unison and had half of their mouths gouged out, leaving only the base of their tongues. Hesitating between the white gums... A peaceful and beautiful place instantly turned into a hell on earth.
Perhaps because he was "accustomed" to the scene of head shaving, Broom Eyebrow, who was the first to come into contact with everything, calmed down and lay on the ground with his hands on his hands. He said in a less human voice: "Get down! Get down quickly!"
Although the lean man was not short, fortunately he was able to avoid disaster because he leaned down. At this moment, when he came back from the stunned state, his eyes were red, and he roared: "What are you doing standing still? Get down!" "
As he spoke, he bowed and stumbled among the crowd, and together with Broom Eyebrow, he tripped the fleeing crowd to the ground...
As more and more people woke up, they struggled for a while and finally stabilized the situation...
"No wonder the number of people in the League of Heroes has not grown... I didn't expect that the trial would be like this..." In the dead silence, someone suddenly choked up, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have come. I want to go home! I want to go home! "
"Why are you crying! What problems can be solved by crying!" Someone gritted his teeth and said, "When I get out, I will definitely make the League of Heroes pay with blood!"
"Yes! Blood debt must be repaid with blood!" The choked man also knew that crying was useless, so he suppressed his trembling and responded.
"How easy is it to repay a blood debt with blood?" The lean man sighed, "Let's not talk about what kind of trials there will be next? With people like us now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last until the end..."
"Then why are we standing still? Hurry up and find a way to gather the brothers!" Someone just wanted to get up, but hurriedly squatted on the ground holding his head.
"It's impossible... I think the League of Heroes must have known that we would gather together, so they used this method to disperse us..."
Sighing, the lean man continued: "Although the number of people lost just now was not too many, the bloody scene has caused panic! After all this trouble, everyone fled in all directions, and no longer wanted to gather as before. It is impossible!"
"Then... what should we do?" The man who had just been squatting softened and fell to the ground helplessly.
"Leave it to fate..." The lean man ran out of ideas for a moment, his face turned pale.
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow was seen falling from the sky. Everyone was startled and screamed. It was not until someone saw clearly that the person who came was just the same kind and not the thing that wanted to pluck people's heads that they became quiet.
"Leaving fate to fate is not a good idea..." the visitor said, "If you think about it carefully, what the vendor said is quite right! All we can do now is to believe in ourselves!"
It was Wu Fan who spoke. As he spoke, he pulled something in front of him.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that this thing was about the size of an adult's arm. It was red in color and round in shape, and it looked very pleasant.
"This... what is this..." The broom eyebrow saw that although the place in front of him was shining brightly, the color was turbid, and there seemed to be a vague "fruit core" in it.
"It's the murderer just now!" Wu Fan said calmly.
"Boy, are you scared to death? Everyone saw that thing just now. It was obviously a ball of black shadow. There is no connection between the two things."
"It's just..." Naturally, everyone didn't believe it.
"Then I'm sorry..." Wu Fan smiled when he heard this, and then looked at Broom Eyebrow, "Brother, can you please help split this thing open?"
Broom Eyebrow didn't say anything. He raised the knife and cut the bright thing in half.
It is strange to say that as soon as the object was separated, its originally bright light dimmed, and its smooth appearance became wrinkled, like a rotten fruit.
"Where's the smell coming from?"
Although everyone had already adapted to the blood covering their bodies, they could not adapt to the sudden stench.
Broom Eyebrow was among them, so he could naturally identify the source of the stench. He lowered his head and looked, and then he retched.
Several people nearby felt strange when they saw this. When they saw the situation clearly, the situation didn't get much better.
As the object cracked, a stream of pus flowed out, and mixed in the pus was a head that was so rotten that it was hard to see...
"Little brother... what the hell is this..." The lean man suppressed his nausea and asked Wu Fan.
"If I remember correctly, it should be called the human head lantern..." Wu Fan couldn't stand the stench, so he waved everyone away and then continued to speak.
"The book says that this human-head lantern is born in the sky and under the sea, and will emit a lantern-like light at night. Once someone approaches out of curiosity, it will take the person's head off guard, and then use the head as nourishment, and the cycle will continue. Back and forth…”
"So... it's a kind of vegetation?" the lean man said.
"How can vegetation be so ferocious? I think it is a ferocious beast!" Broom eyebrow said.
"What you said is all right..." Wu Fan continued, "But this thing is completely different from the two you mentioned. To be more careful... it is actually a kind of spirit!"
"Spirit?" The lean man was a little shocked when he heard this, "It's impossible! As far as I know, the growth conditions of these monsters are harsh, and it takes a very long time to take shape! If it is really what you said, then such a threatening thing It can’t possibly exist for so long without anyone noticing!”
"Well, this is what I find strange..." Wu Fan nodded, "Although this human head lantern is not rare, it does not grow so densely. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it was deliberately raised here. !”
"Then little brother, what do we do now according to your wishes?" The lean man scanned the area for a week and found that there were not even half a hundred people left here.
"Do you believe me?" Wu Fan was silent for a moment and asked abruptly.
"We have reached this point, and the worst is death! I believe you!" Broom Eyebrow still remembers that the man in front of him fell from the sky, and "beheaded" the human-headed lantern. He felt that since he could ask this question, he would definitely have a countermeasure. .
"You're right! The worst case scenario is death! I believe it too!"
"I'm not afraid of death! I believe in you too!"
Wu Fan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and thought to himself that he clearly wanted to lead these people to find a chance to survive, so why did he make it sound like he was leading them to death?
"Everyone! Let me say something ugly first!" Wu Fan clasped his fists, "I think the League of Legends did not send us here as simple as a trial! So the next road must be more dangerous!"
"So...if some of you are afraid to move forward, it's human nature and understandable!"
"You can decide for yourself whether to follow or not, but I can assure you that I will not give up on any of you. Once the route is clear, I will come back and take you away!"
Sure enough, as soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, someone was shaken and began to whisper...
