Ever since he arrived here, the man in animal skin felt a little out of his mind. Although he kept moving forward, he always felt like there was a large invisible cocoon restraining him, making his chest feel tight and even a little breathless.
In front of him, two groups of people were "communicating" across the water in front of him, but the animal-skin man only felt a buzzing in his ears and couldn't hear even half a word.
"Why did you stop? Come on, follow me!" Just as the man in animal skin was dizzy, he suddenly heard the sound of a mustache coming from a distance.
He looked intently and saw a group of people with mustaches waving to him in front.
"Let's go, don't stand still."
The animal-skin man was confused, but when he saw several people passing by him, he hurriedly followed them.
"Where are we going next?" A familiar voice sounded from the crowd.
"Now that things have happened, we can only act separately... You five brothers go over there, and the five of us go this way... And the two roads are not far apart. If you encounter any situation, you must say hello to each other!" The mustache's answer was the same.
"Mustache, what's going on? Wait for me..." The man in animal skin was about to say hello, but suddenly his hair stood on the spot.
Because at this moment, in the fire in front of me, besides myself, there happened to be ten people!
And the extra person stood openly and openly next to him with a mustache. This person had exactly the same appearance as him!
"Be careful, moustache! That person is not me!" Although the man in animal skin made a loud voice, the group of people seemed not to have heard him and still divided into two groups and walked forward.
Only the extra "self" inadvertently looked back at himself and showed a meaningful smile.
"Mustache! Damn it!" Seeing that he failed to attract the other party's attention no matter what, the man in the animal skin was worried that something might happen, so he could only grit his teeth and follow him.
As they walked, the man in the animal skin suddenly felt the world spin. He saw that the two roads they were on suddenly doubled along the center line. However, they were not affected in any way. They were still cautiously holding torches to explore the way forward. …
Looking at the mirror-like water surface beside him, the man in animal skin suddenly took a breath of cold air. Could it be that the current "self" is the sixth person that the "self" just saw?
Suddenly, he fell into a kind of confusion, not knowing which one was his real self.
The situation was unclear at the moment, and the man in the animal skin was really worried that he would be discovered like before, but more than that, he was more worried that he was too far away. If anything happened, he would not be able to help, so he could only hide at the edge of the fire and remain silent. Following slowly and silently...
If this continues, once the torch is extinguished, it will be the opportunity for the "Sixth Man" to take action! When the time comes, Mustache and the others are unprepared, the consequences will certainly be disastrous.
Although he didn't know why Mustache and the others couldn't notice him, things had reached this point, and the only thing he could do was to find help before the torch went out.
These helpers are far away and right in front of you. They are the other five people under the water!
Thinking of this, the man in animal skin hurriedly took out the short knife from his body and reflected the light of the torch onto the water.
And his perseverance really worked. Someone on the other side finally noticed something strange here, holding a torch and shouting at the mustache.
But the water surface was like an airtight wall, isolating the two teams into two worlds. Seeing that there was nothing they could do with just shouting, the other side pulled out a rope and threw it underwater, and then by coincidence, It was thrown at the feet of the man holding the torch, causing him to stumble.
This situation is so familiar. Before the man in animal skin could take back his knife, he saw "himself" next to the mustache rushing over with fists waving!
"Well done!" Seeing that the other party finally couldn't bear it anymore, the man in animal skin also had a cold look in his eyes and turned the blade to stab it out.
But for some reason, his knife seemed to be pierced into the mire, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward even half an inch.
In desperation, he could only abandon the dagger, but when he came back to his senses again, he found that there was nothing in front of him, and no one was there anymore.
"Mustache! Is anyone here?" The man in animal skin felt that the oppressive feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was also wrapped in a layer of sultry heat and humidity that could not be dissipated.
"Are you looking for me?" The mustachioed voice came from a distance.
"Mustache...ah!" The man in animal skin looked towards the direction of the sound, only to find that the speaker was actually a crow...
"Are you looking for me?" "Are you looking for me?"
One after another, the crows flapped their wings and hovered over their heads. They repeated this sentence while making a cry like a ghost.
The animal-skin man was on the verge of collapse. While roaring, he shot down the crows above his head one after another, and then tore them in half.
"Come on! Come on! Who...who are you? Get out of here!"
Feeling someone put a hand on his shoulder, the man in animal skin was about to take action, but when he turned his head, he saw the mustache behind him.
"Are you okay?" The mustached man asked with concern when he saw the animal skin man's pale face.
"You...are you a mustache?" The man in animal skin was still a little nervous.
"Who else could it be?" The mustached man smiled.
"Why did you stop? Come on, follow me!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw another man with a mustache waving to him from a distance.
"You...who are you..." The animal skin man finally collapsed, his body trembling.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but...you caused me to die miserably!" A strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of the mustache, and then the smile spread to both sides, and the whole person was split into two pieces. .
The animal-skin man staggered in shock and was about to turn around and run away, but he tripped over something just as he stepped back.
Looking down, it turned out that there were eight other corpses around his feet. They were all split into two halves lengthwise, as if they had been torn apart by life...
"Crack..." The man in animal skin was feeling nauseated, but suddenly he heard a crisp sound coming from in front of his face.
He reached out and touched it, only to feel a crack appear on his face. He screamed in fright, and pressed his hands on both sides of his head...
I don't know how much time passed like this, but a sudden night wind blew up, making the man in animal skin tremble and couldn't help but sneeze.
He was startled and hurriedly reached out to touch his face, but surprisingly found that the cracks on his face had disappeared!
Opening his eyes, the animal-skin man suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar. Taking a closer look, it turned out that he was lying in his resting place.
After looking around, the man in animal skin breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that what he had just experienced was just a dream...
"It's broken!" The man in animal skin counted the time, hurriedly turned over and jumped up, then picked up a piece of black cloth and wrapped it around himself and rushed out of the cave.
"Sorry, I just fell asleep." When he arrived at the agreed place and saw familiar faces, the man in animal skin felt a lot more at ease.
"It doesn't matter, it's still early..." The mustache nodded to him, and then asked casually: "Why are you wearing a black cloth?"
"The color of this animal skin is too bright. I'm not worried about being discovered... eh?" As he said that, the man in the animal skin suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was this conversation so similar to a dream?
Thinking like this, he suddenly turned his head to the side. When he saw that the branches were empty, the animal-skin man's heart finally dropped.
"What are you looking for?" The mustached man was a little confused by the animal skin man's behavior.
"No...nothing? It's just a stiff neck..." As he said that, the animal-skin man pretended to twist his neck, and then asked: "When should we set off?"
"Wait a minute..." The mustache nodded, and then he caught a glimpse of two figures peeping in the distance: "What's going on with you two? You've been so late, I thought you were going to run away!"
"Don't mention it, it's all this guy's fault that made me so anxious that I broke my head. It's really unlucky!" one of them muttered.
"This...this..." The bad feeling in the animal skin man's heart became more and more intense. He suddenly felt that the previous words were like some kind of omen and should not be just a coincidence.
In a daze, he actually heard the ghost cry in the dream...
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's get going!" The mustache confirmed the number of people again, and then looked at the man in animal skin beside him, "Are you okay? Why do I feel that you are not in your best condition today?"
"I...I'm fine." The animal-skin man forced a smile.
"As long as it's okay, the time is coming, let's get going!" the mustache greeted.
"Wait a minute..." the man in animal skin suddenly said, "Sorry! I just caught a cold because I was in a hurry to go out. You guys go over there and wait for me first. I need to go for a while!"
As he said that, the man in animal skin put the black cloth on the tree, then ducked and hid behind the tree.
"That's fine!" The mustache had no doubts and greeted the other people before disappearing into the night.
"I'm sorry... As long as you can come back safely, I will definitely apologize to you..." Watching everyone leave, the man in the animal skin gritted his teeth and stood up, then disappeared in another direction, leaving only the black cloth. Alone and blowing in the wind.
…
"What the hell is this guy doing? Is he running away from the battlefield?" Some people couldn't help but complain in a low voice as they were about to miss the opportunity to enter the black line.
"Don't talk nonsense! If it hadn't been for the mustache to stop him, he would have broken in alone. How could he have escaped?" Someone next to him denied it.
"Ouch! Could it be that he was discovered?" The guy who smashed his head suddenly remembered something, "When we just came out, we saw a black shadow. Just as I was about to say hello to him, the man disappeared! "
"What? Why didn't you say something like this earlier?"
"I...I saw that man sneaking around and thought he was one of ours!" the man explained hurriedly.
"It's really going to cause trouble!" The person who spoke scolded, and continued: "You guys wait here, I'll go back and take a look!"
"Stop arguing!" Mustache pointed his fingers to silence, "If we are really targeted, we will definitely be told to the sect master. When the sect master is on guard, we will never have the chance to explore this place again. !”
"If he is really targeted, he will definitely find a way to get rid of him, so let's give him some more time! Even if he really can't come back by then, let's not complain about him!"
"Oh, just wait..." The man was just angry and didn't persist after being dissuaded. He hugged him and stopped saying anything.
"Hush! Someone is coming!" Someone noticed something and motioned for everyone to hide.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long..."
Following a familiar voice, an animal skin man wrapped in black cloth walked out of the darkness with a sword.
Seeing the visitor, the mustachioed brow suddenly frowned: "You..."
"What's wrong with me?" The animal skin man's expression changed.
"Why did your weapon break?" The mustachioed man glanced behind him and asked cautiously.
"It's okay, we just ran into some trouble..." The animal-skin man smiled, then put the sword back into its sheath, "Without further ado, let's go!"
The mustache nodded slightly, and the group finally disappeared in front of the black line...
