As his body shook like chaff involuntarily, Zhang Xu was frightened to death. He was so frightened that he peed his crotch on the spot.
Then, turn around and run.
Fortunately, despite the fear, the man still retained some sense, which gave him a little peace of mind. The key to having a little peace of mind was speed!
It's because I'm faster than a wolf!
Based on last night's experience, Zhang Xu knew that this group of hawks was relatively slow, so by taking advantage of the slow speed of the hawks, he was still confident enough to get rid of the pursuit like he did last night.
As expected, the guess was absolutely correct. As Zhang Xu ran wildly, as the man ran for his life, he finally managed to get rid of the swarm behind him!
but……
Although he had escaped the pursuit, even though he had escaped from the swarm, he still discovered one thing, an astonishing change that could be clearly felt.
That is, under normal running conditions, the swarm of hawks that he could quickly get rid of in just ten minutes last night actually took him half an hour today! And it's still running at an accelerated speed!
At first it was a little difficult for him to understand. It wasn't until he rested for a long time and a few hours later that he finally figured it out. He figured out one thing and came up with a terrible guess that caused his liver and gallbladder to break:
That is, after one day, the movement speed of the swarm increased! ! !
………
Lone Soul, a kind of worm, is a lower-level existence among worms. Different from Li Cha, although most of them are crazy and most of them are unconscious, Li Cha can actively search for prey and shuttle actively with its overwhelming hatred. Everywhere, the prey was slaughtered, and even a few Liji still retained a certain degree of consciousness.
This kind of scorpion is more dangerous and poses a greater threat to human beings!
However, lonely souls are different. Lone souls have zero self-awareness. 'They' will not search for prey with a purpose, nor do they have the terrifying strength of Li Qi. 'They' are just at a loss, wandering endlessly in a specific place, and can only It relies on its instinct to chase and kill prey that enters its wandering place, but...
Even so, lonely souls are equally terrifying.
'They' tend to come in groups, and 'they' don't know how to back down at all.
And what’s even more terrifying is…
They will advance and undergo some unknown changes after coming into contact with living people or even absorbing enough yang energy from living people.
………
Zhang Xu panicked.
He was more panicked than ever before, so panicked that he was at a loss as to what to do, and so frightened that he felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
There is only one reason. The reason is that he is a sensible person and realized that the situation was not good from the increase in the speed of the swarm.
Everything has its relative nature. The animal's speed increases, but what about itself?
But my speed is not as fast as before!
As mentioned above, due to being trapped here for a long time, his spirit began to be exhausted and his physical strength was seriously weakened. In addition, the escape just now further consumed a lot of physical strength, so the last few pieces of bread were eaten up early, leaving only the last half. Bottle of water, and even more desperate is...
Starting from the third day, not only at night, but also during the day, the mysterious figures will occasionally appear around the road! ! !
My thoughts return to reality, and my pictures return to the road.
Yin Yang Road.
Hooray, hooray.
The cool breeze blew by, making the leaves rustle. Under the tree, Zhang Xu, who was sitting paralyzed with his back, was in extreme despair. It was already the afternoon of the fourth day of the mission. Fear accompanied him, and equipment wrapped around him. He was extremely frightened. , his lips were dry, he was hungry, tired and severely thirsty, so he couldn't help it, unscrewed the cap of the bottle in his hand, and drank the last half of the bottle of water.
Then, he began to look around with vigilant eyes, watching the surroundings and observing everything. Even though the number of nymphs that appeared during the day was far less than that at night, it was the fourth day after all, and the nymphs were moving faster and faster day by day. In addition, he is now weak and weak. Once he encounters Qi again, there is no doubt that his hope of escaping will become slimmer.
Under the tree, Zhang Xu's nerves were tense, and his eyes were scanning, as if on high alert. It was obvious that because he knew that the worms would not make any sound when they moved, he had no choice but to use his eyes, which were filled with blood due to lack of sleep. Bloodshot eyes observe.
At this moment, Zhang Xu was hiding under the tree while praying continuously, praying that the dragon would not find him, and praying that the other executors could complete the task as soon as possible, so that he could escape from the sea of suffering, get off the road, and return to the hell train.
Wishes are always so good.
Unfortunately, wishes are wishes after all, just an unrealistic illusion.
What are the facts?
The fact is that danger often occurs in unexpected places. Even if you are really nervous and on high alert, human beings are still human and will eventually ignore it.
Just as Zhang Xu opened his eyes and glanced around the road, something appeared in the dense branches and leaves of the big tree behind him, right above the top of the tree where he was hiding.
Something more happened quietly...
A head poked out from top to bottom in an inverted form, and a human head slowly emerged from the trunk! ! !
It was an old man's head with a face full of wrinkles. It had been extending downwards ever since it was discovered, soundlessly. First the head came out, and then the neck, shoulders, chest and other parts were slowly revealed from the tree trunk above. , did not stop until half of his body was exposed to the outside world, that is to say, there was a person hanging above the big tree, and an old man who could only see his upper body appeared inexplicably, but the waist below was connected to the trunk of the tree.
At this moment, the half-length old man appeared above Zhang Xu's head, the distance between them was only two meters!
It's not over yet...
After the old man appeared, he was silent for a moment, slowly lowered his head, looked down, and looked at Zhang Xu, who was still sitting under the tree.
Then, the old man moved. The old man who had been unresponsive since he appeared moved. And with all the movements of the half-length old man, an even more horrifying scene appeared...
The old man stretched out his arms, and slowly lowered his two stick-like arms downwards, towards the tree, towards Zhang Xu, who was unconscious and had never noticed any abnormality on the top of his head.
If you observe it from a third perspective, you can clearly see that the old man's drooping arms cannot reach Zhang Xu. After all, there is a distance of two meters between the two sides. However, as the old man's arms are fully straightened, then unexpectedly Keep stretching, keep stretching! It is growing bit by bit and getting closer and closer like there is no limit at all!
Do people have premonitions, are there sudden signs of approaching danger?
The answer is that it varies from person to person. Under the tree, it is undeniable that Zhang Xu did not notice the abnormality above his head and did not notice the old man above him. However, even so, the man still felt a coldness, which was different from the cool breeze around him. Cold, but inexplicable, no reason to feel cold in his heart, cold, so cold, the sudden coldness caused him to shiver suddenly, and then, his eyes widened in an instant, and his body trembled wildly, because... …
He saw it. When he was observing his surroundings, his eyes captured a scene:
Directly in front of his field of vision, on the other side of the road, seven or eight figures appeared out of nowhere. As soon as the figures appeared, they quickly floated towards his location.
It's a wolf!
As the distance got closer, he could clearly see that there was nothing below the knees of those 'people'. They were all floating in the air, with their heads lowered. They were very fast, very fast, even very close to the speed of human running!
The guess is absolutely correct, the speed of the hawk is increasing, and it is getting faster day by day! ! !
"ah!"
Sure enough, when he saw clearly how many oysters spotted him and rushed towards him immediately, Zhang Xu screamed and hurriedly got up from the tree and planned to turn around and escape, but...
Snap.
In a flash of lightning, just as he stood up, before he could even lift his feet and run wildly, there was a soft snap and Zhang Xu couldn't move.
It's not because I don't want to run, but because...
He was caught.
There was a sharp pain in my scalp, and my hair was caught by something!
"Ugh!"
Because his hair was caught, he couldn't look up at all, let alone see what was holding him tightly above him, so he could only struggle, struggling with unreachable fear, and while struggling, he stretched his hands to the top of his head. Hoping to get out of the predicament, Zhang Xu obviously realized that the situation was not good. Let alone what caught him from above, the few oysters floating straight towards him on the other side of the road had scared him to death. Hu Lianlian must get rid of the restraint as soon as possible, otherwise he will die!
Who would have thought…
His hands had just been raised, and before he even reached his head, the next second, a head drooped, falling from the top in the blink of an eye, and the pale face full of wrinkles happened to be face to face with Zhang Xu, very close at hand. The faces are opposite!
Seeing that the entire field of vision was instantly filled with human faces, and seeing that face was bloodless and full of wrinkles, and even seeing the face staring at him, the man was stunned for a moment, and then...
"Ahhhh!!!"
It's screaming, it's trembling, it's adrenaline rush, it's unfathomable fear.
The pupils suddenly dilated at this moment, the voice trembled at this moment, the body shook like chaff at this moment, the lower body excrement and urine flowed out at this moment, and a foul smell spread out from the crotch.
Then, there was mourning, despair, and an unimaginable miserable hell.
Yes, because the old man with hair was holding on tightly and could not escape, after a few seconds, the seven or eight oysters floating in front of him completely floated in front of Zhang Xu.
As for Zhang Xu, when he saw with his own eyes that he was surrounded by insects, he howled loudly and screamed wantonly, along with the yellow sticky substance that kept spewing out from his crotch like a tide. He cried desperately , struggling crazily, but the skinny human hand above the head that was clinging to it was as strong as a vise and could not break free. At the same time, several worms on both sides of the surroundings that had now surrounded the man also stretched out their hands. , stretched their arms forward, toward Zhang Xu's body, and finally sank into the man's body in an incomprehensible way!
Yes, there is no touch, no contact. Although these incorporeal slugs cannot physically touch, they without exception put their hands into Zhang Xu's body. It is precisely because they have no entity that when Even after the hand was inserted into Zhang Xu's body, there was not a single scratch on Zhang Xu's body. The whole process was incomprehensible and astonishing.
What's even weirder is...
After the arms entered the target's body, the worms stopped moving one after another, and collectively stagnated in place like sculptures. As for Zhang Xu, as the worms' hands sank into the body, the man's wailing and struggling stopped in an instant, and his eyes widened. He began to turn up and his body began to shake violently. At the same time, the skin on his face and body began to turn white rapidly. As he turned white, his entire body also changed.
The eye sockets quickly turn black, the face quickly becomes sunken, and the body muscles quickly atrophy and wither...
five minutes later.
The seven or eight hawks that originally surrounded Zhang Xu moved again, pulling their arms out of the target's body one after another. The old man on the tree also let go of the target's hair, but...
After the collective retracted their arms, the few slugs under the tree and the old man on the tree all changed, such as their eyes.
Yes, if before attacking the target, the eyes of these worms were all confused and dull, then when 'they' took their hands back, they saw that the confusion in their eyes disappeared, the lack of focus disappeared, and it was replaced by...
It's red!
It was all a shocking red color filled with murderous intent and madness! ! !
After a while, the hawks dispersed and disappeared into the distance. The old man also retracted his trunk and disappeared.
In the end, the only thing left was a corpse, a man's corpse lying on the ground.
The camera moved to the bottom of the tree, and it was further discovered that it was a mummy, a withered mummy!
This is Zhang Xu's corpse. He has turned into a mummy, and the mummy now has no trace of the man it once was. The mummy's face is extremely distorted. He has a ferocious expression and a wide mouth, as if he had experienced some kind of pain before death. torture.
Zhang Xu died, in this silent Yin and Yang Road.
………
Da da da da da!
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Somewhere in the endless wilderness, the silence was broken by a series of footsteps running from far to near. As time went on, this series of slightly chaotic footsteps became louder and faster.
Finally, a horrifying picture is revealed in the wilderness.
At the front of the screen is a bald man running in panic. The man is burly and wearing a black vest. He is panting and running wildly. An old woman is following a few meters behind him, an old woman suspended in mid-air.
The old woman was expressionless and silent, just following the man in a floating form, following him like a tarsal maggot, following him like a shadow! ! !
Time passed quietly in fear, and fear gradually increased while running.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Breathing and sweating, Peng Hu didn't know how long he had been running, but he could clearly feel the sharp decline in physical fitness. Even though his physical fitness was indeed strong, far beyond that of ordinary humans, running for such a long time was still not him. He must rest if he can bear it, otherwise he will be exhausted and die from exhaustion.
It's a pity that he can't stop, absolutely can't stop. Once he stops, he will be finished and will be caught up by Granny Qi behind him, so he can only grit his teeth and hold on, bite the bullet and continue to run forward.
The running has not stopped for a long time, and the escape continues.
Another 10 minutes passed...
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
At this moment, Peng Hu was sweating like rain, panting, and his physical energy was further weakened, causing his speed to be significantly slower than before. Seeing this, the bald man became desperate. He gradually recognized the reality, and gradually realized that he seemed to be being caught up. It's a foregone conclusion, it's just a matter of time.
(It's over, it's over. I didn't expect that today would be the day that my surname Peng died. I didn't expect that I would die in such a stupid place! I won't accept it!)
As mentioned above, seeing that his physical strength was unsustainable and his speed getting slower and slower, the bald man recognized the situation clearly and saw the reality clearly. He believed that his life was not long, and all the above came from the emotions when he was forced into a desperate situation. Negative emotions and desperate situations make people collapse, and collapse makes people despair. However, there is another saying that is very good, that is...
Counterproductive.
When a person is completely desperate but too unwilling to give up, at this time, the person will block despair in order to survive, block all random thoughts, and rack his brains to search for that seemingly non-existent hope of survival.
Finally, when he completely fell into despair, when he completely believed that he was going to die, Peng Hu was no longer afraid. Not only was he no longer afraid, but he also suddenly thought of something. He recalled what He Fei had said when he was in the hotel. in a sentence:
"I think Grandma Qi doesn't have the ability to physically attack. Her main means of attack should only be illusion and possession."
For some reason, as his mind suddenly recalled this sentence, and now that he was being chased and running, Peng Hu suddenly realized something, a detail that he had never thought about or even cared about before, that is, Why was Grandma Qi just chasing me all the way? Just catching up? Even now, he is still catching up. Even though his physical energy loss has slowed down, Granny Qi still hasn't caught him and taken his life as expected.
Yes, after all, Peng Hu didn't think that an evil spirit like Grandma Qi who clearly belonged to the level of Li Qi could not catch up with a mere human being.
unless……
Unless the other party doesn't have the ability to directly kill you, unless the other party has other intentions!
Perhaps Grandma Qi was using the pursuit to increase my psychological pressure, weaken my physical strength, and ultimately make me fall into a death trap!
Ding!
Thinking of this, Peng Hu suddenly felt angry.
(His! What a vicious worm!!!)
Yes, although Peng Hu is afraid of locusts, the bald man is a hero who dares to fight in critical situations. It is undeniable that under ordinary circumstances, he will run away as long as there is a chance of survival. However, when he is completely in despair, Dang Che has no way out. When escaping, the bald man will make a last-ditch effort. He has done this before in supernatural missions, so it is natural that after figuring this out and vaguely realizing that this should be a death trap, Peng Hu stopped!
He stopped running for an instant, stopped suddenly, turned around with a ferocious expression, and suddenly shouted: "Damn old woman! You have the guts to kill me! Do I..."
"Um?"
His expression instantly froze, and his roar stopped instantly.
After that, the whole person was stunned. He just kept turning around and froze on the spot, stunned in place.
The reason is very simple. That's because when Peng Hu turned around a second ago, was there any danger in his sight? Is there any other thing chasing after you? There was nothing behind him. Grandma Qi, who had been chasing her so closely before, was gone. She disappeared without a trace at some point.
"This this……"
Seeing this, Peng Hu was stunned and quickly came to his senses. Perhaps he didn't believe what he saw, so he looked around from left to right, up and down, but the result was still the same. No matter where he looked, no matter which direction he searched, he never saw Granny Qi. A shadow.
Could it be that Grandma Qi gave up on hunting her?
Or maybe you know that you don't have the ability to physically attack, so you hide when you see prey that won't run away?
Or is there some other conspiracy?
In fact, regardless of Granny Qi's conspiracy, Peng Hu now understands Granny Qi's purpose of attacking him this time, which is to stop, prevent the news from leaking, and prevent him from revealing the information about the urn to the army! ! !
After all, he is the only enforcer among all the people who knows the whereabouts of the urn. If Granny Qi does not want to be solved, then the other party will definitely show up to stop her and prevent her from joining other enforcers. Only in this way can the enforcer threaten Qi. Grandma herself, only in this way can she disrupt the executor's plan.
How to disrupt? Killing someone and silencing them is the best option, and shutting yourself up forever is the best way.
As described in the past, Peng Hu is not a fool. The bald man also has analytical thinking ability that is not inferior to other senior people. Sure enough, after figuring out the key points of the problem, Peng Hu became nervous again!
Why are you nervous? There is only one answer. For example, this moment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to silence him, because...he is now alone!
I am in a state of being alone!
Peng Hu knew that he was still not out of danger. Although Granny Qi had disappeared, the sense of crisis became stronger. Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked around, observing the environment again. However, it was better not to look. At first glance, he had just returned. The bald man who was forced to calm down suddenly changed his face and his body was shaking wildly. His earlier composure instantly collapsed. He was dumbfounded and inexplicably frightened. He was even more frightened when being chased by his predecessor!
Why? Because, the view is right ahead...
A road appears.
An impressive suburban road.
The familiar road section, the familiar intersection, the trees and vegetation on both sides, and the weeds on both sides of the road...
Yin Yang Road! ! !
It is surprisingly the place where the executor was when he first entered the mission world, and it is also the place where he was frequently hunted by countless nymphs.
Yin Yang Road, this is Yin Yang Road!
As soon as he saw the road clearly, Peng Hu trembled violently like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his steps staggered. He subconsciously took several steps back. At the same time, an ominous premonition also appeared in his mind, causing sweat to break out. , the cold sweat that had just dried on my forehead appeared again.
(How could it be? I shouldn’t have run here, shouldn’t, shouldn’t have.)
"Gudu."
In fear, mixed with sweat flowing and heart beating wildly, in order to further verify whether the guess was correct, after swallowing, he turned his eyes and scanned the surroundings. Then, he got confirmation, or He said he saw a picture he least expected to see:
Hooray, hooray.
As the cool breeze howled, figures appeared all around.
In the distance, silhouettes of people appeared one after another, and bodies suddenly emerged. They gathered together at some unknown time, and then floated from all directions, rushing from all directions, moving towards their location! ! !
