Sure enough, as soon as he made up his mind, the bald man quietly turned around without hesitation, and then crawled slowly to the other side of the road while lying on the ground like a turtle. The man climbed very slowly, always maintaining a small amplitude. Action, climb a certain distance and stay still for a while, climb a certain distance and stay still for a while, lest you make the slightest sound.
Although the crawling was slow, he still managed to escape from the slope after more than ten seconds, successfully evaded the black shadow in front of the slope, and then arrived under a tree on the opposite side of the road. With the help of the moonlight, he turned around and looked back. I saw that the hawk had quietly and slowly floated away from the top of the soil slope, and finally disappeared into the night in the distance.
"call!"
Seeing this, he patted his chest, took a long breath, and stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. After that, he sat against the tree like a puddle of mud, with his back against the tree and gasped for breath. However, just after wiping the cold sweat, When Peng Hu threw his left hand to the ground casually, Peng Hu himself was only observing his surroundings and taking stock of the environment...
(Um?)
My left hand touched something, accidentally touching something.
Strictly speaking, if what you touch is just dirt, gravel or weeds, it will not attract anyone's attention, let alone Peng Hu's attention. However, at this moment, as his left hand accidentally touched something Thing, Peng Hu’s expression suddenly changed in an instant!
reason?
The reason is that what you touch feels unusual.
The touch transmitted through the fingers is definitely not the touch that rocks or plants should have, but is very similar to human skin! ! !
At the same time, as early as a few seconds ago, when Peng Hu was resting against the big tree, something very similar to a human head fell silently above his head...
………
Under the cover of night, my left hand accidentally touched an object.
Sensing the difference in touch, Peng Hu suddenly turned his head and looked to his side. When he took a look, he realized that there was a corpse lying next to him!
A dead man, the corpse of a man who was 100% dead for a long time.
Why are you sure it's a corpse? The reason comes from the other party's terrible state.
Imagine seeing a dead person suddenly in the middle of the night. Even Peng Hu was really shocked. Fortunately, the bald man was very courageous. He calmed down when he was slightly surprised. He didn't make a sound or make a sound, and just hurriedly He stood up from the ground and squatted under the tree to start observing. He carefully observed the body with the help of high-altitude moonlight.
From what you can see, you can first determine that the deceased is a male based on his clothing. However, the biggest difference from ordinary corpses is... this is a mummy!
The man died in an extremely miserable state, his body was almost withered, his expression was severely distorted, his mouth was wide open, and most of his eyes were protruding from the sockets. It seemed as if he had experienced some kind of painful torture when he died. He refused to close his eyes and looked at it, which sent chills down Peng Hu's spine. and……
As the observation gradually deepened and continued, he vaguely noticed that the face of the mummy seemed familiar.
Seems like I've seen it before?
Suddenly! He remembered who the other party was. This person was Zhang Xu!
This time we have newcomer Zhang Xu!
Yes, Peng Hu knew that Zhang Xu had escaped privately when he was on the Yin-Yang Road, and ran away alone from the large army, but he never expected that this man named Zhang Xu had not walked out of the Yin-Yang Road for so long, and not only did he not walk out, but he died here. .
Let’s not talk about Peng Hu squatting under the tree observing the corpse, or the bald man staring at the corpse thoughtfully. The camera shifted slightly, rose slightly, and then moved to directly above the head...
At some point, an old man emerged from the lush branches and leaves of the big tree, a strange old man with a haggard appearance and a pale face.
The reason why it is called weird comes from the state of the old man. 'He' is only half, connected to the tree trunk from the waist down, and when he appears, half of his body is displayed in the form of hanging upside down. When the old man appears, he immediately looks down, and a pair of faint eyes appear. Hong's eyes stared straight down at Peng Hu!
'He' is silent from beginning to end, extremely silent from beginning to end.
But it was precisely because the old man made no sound when he hit the ground that Peng Hu was completely unaware of the scene happening above his head.
Then……
The old man moved, and stretched his arms like dead wood downwards toward Peng Hu under the tree.
Even though the distance between the two sides is two meters, the arms are still extending, extending continuously, and can continue to extend after reaching the limit!
The distance gradually shortened, approaching quietly in the silent and dead night.
Under the tree, looking at the miserable corpse in front of him, Peng Hu's stubbled face couldn't help but twitch. It was obvious that based on the miserable condition of the corpse, he could be 100% sure that Zhang Xu died abnormally and was most likely killed by a beetle. Dead, even so, he still didn't expect that the lonely wild slugs on the Yin-Yang Road would have such a terrifying way of killing! By analogy, if he is also caught by these bugs, then the fate of Zhang Xu in front of him will undoubtedly be his fate in the future. Thinking of this, the fear in the bald man's heart becomes more and more intense and becomes more and more difficult to suppress. He does not intend to hide anymore. The night is long, and there is only one way to die in the end. You must escape from the yin and yang road as soon as possible and then join the large army!
He did what he thought of and carefully observed his surroundings. After confirming that there were no suspicious hawks nearby, Peng Hu stood up from the ground and planned to leave.
Can……
Snap!
At this moment, just as the bald man found the right direction and raised his feet to leave, suddenly! A pair of arms, a pair of arms from top to bottom, grabbed the neck in an instant!
He grabbed Peng Hu without any warning and grabbed the back of his neck! ! !
"ah!"
Out of control and out of instinct, the sudden change frightened Peng Hu half to death on the spot. A scream of extreme horror echoed everywhere in an instant. Under this surprise, the bald man's body trembled suddenly, and he felt something being hit on his neck. He grabbed it, grabbed it tightly, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the clamp. Sure enough, seeing that the struggle was ineffective, and controlled by his subconscious, just when he quickly raised his hands and stretched them to the back of his neck to break away from the clamp, the next second, But a human head has already dropped from the top of the head to the eyes in the blink of an eye!
Along with it, there is also a pale face covered with wrinkles!
At this moment, the hanging old man was facing Peng Hu face to face, almost face to face, looking at each other!
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
What a terrifying scene, what a horrifying scene. Seeing a mango face suddenly appear in front of him, and unable to escape, at this moment, Peng Hu's body shook wildly and screamed again and again. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He was so frightened that he was out of his mind, and his screaming never stopped. However, fear is fear, and fear is fear. With the unique super understanding and observation ability of senior people, as early as a few seconds ago, when the man's face drooped, As soon as the bald man came into view, he came to a conclusion instantly and came to a reality that he had to accept even if he didn't believe it:
This thing in front of me is 100% a worm!
Not only did he confirm that the other party was a wolf, but he also found out the cause and effect from the way the wolf appeared, that is...
The cockroach was hiding above the head and in the trees. The cockroach thing actually launched a surprise attack from the bottom up, and then succeeded in catching himself! ! !
(Oops!)
The house leaked and it rained all night, and anything would cause a chain reaction. At the same time, just when Peng Hu realized that his situation was not good, because the screams when he was first arrested were too loud, black shadows appeared in the surrounding night. A large group of dense black figures appeared.
Just like a pack of wolves discovering prey, like a shark smelling a blood gorilla, in just a few seconds, a large group of black shadows moved in, all rushing towards the big tree, rushing towards Peng Hu from all directions, the number was simply uncountable! ! !
Seeing the large wave of black shadows gradually approaching, and seeing countless black shadows floating towards him frequently, Peng Hu, who was being grabbed by the old man's neck under the tree, was in despair, completely in despair.
Or it can be understood as...
He's finished.
reason? No need for a reason, a reason? There was no need for a reason, the facts were in front of him. Not to mention that he was tightly held and restrained by the old man in the tree. Just saying that the current situation of being surrounded by beetles in all directions was enough to sentence him to death.
Surrounded, there are lynxes in all directions, all of them are lonely wild larvae that only know how to kill.
Dead!
All hope was gone.
Of course, despair is despair, and death is inevitable. Even so, the above does not mean that Peng Hu is willing to close his eyes and wait for death, nor does it mean that he is willing to wait for death!
As has been described many times in the past, the bald man has never been the one who gives up easily. Even if there is absolutely no way to survive, even if death is absolutely certain, he will still struggle and will still fight until the last moment.
because……
He is Peng Hu!
Even if death is irreversible, I still have to pull as hard as I can before I die! ! !
Therefore, when it was confirmed that he was not going to die, the next moment, the frightened expression on Peng Hu's face disappeared, replaced by ferocious, crazy anger that he had never seen before.
(I still have a glimmer of hope, a slim and uncertain hope!)
It's a matter of life or death!
Looking at the old man's face in front of him that was almost face to face with his own, Peng Hu gave up the struggle directly, stopped exerting his body, stopped waving his hands, quickly reached into his arms, and immediately took out a piece of talisman paper that had been shining with golden light. Slap him hard on the face.
“Fuck you Male Gobi!!!”
As mentioned above, because the distance between the two was too close and the man's movements were extremely fast, as expected, as soon as the roar came out, the next moment, the talisman was pasted on the old man's face.
Snapped!
Next…
An astonishing scene happened, a shocking scene that even Peng Hu himself did not expect:
Oh, wow!
"Ugh!"
As the golden light charm sticks to the old man's face in the blink of an eye, and due to the exorcism properties of the golden light charm that dissipates when it encounters a wolf, a dazzling golden light emits on the spot the moment it comes into contact with the wolf. The light is dazzling and spreads. The old man in front of him also screamed when the spell flashed, a series of blood-curdling wails.
'He' was in pain, extremely painful, unbearable pain, and screamed as if he was suffering some kind of torture.
While wailing, the binding feeling around Peng Hu's neck disappeared instantly.
However, things are not over yet, still not over.
"Uh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
No one understands what is happening at this moment. The only thing they know is that a shocking scene is currently taking place. At this moment, as the golden light talisman sticks directly to the face, and as the golden light talisman flashes and burns, the man hanging upside down in front of Peng Hu The old man began to wail, and just twisted his neck and shook his head in pain in front of the bald man. He covered his face with his withered hands. His body became translucent, and under the double shroud of flames and golden light, it quickly blurred and became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it became transparent. Completely disappeared without a trace.
The golden light talisman actually wiped out a worm! ! !
reason? The reason is very simple. The golden light talisman is a supernatural exorcism prop. In the past, this kind of prop could only play a role in protection and life-saving. It could only temporarily repel Li Qi in front of it, and it was equivalent to useless paper when it encountered the earth-bound spirit. But please don’t forget, don’t ignore the level of worms, let alone the differences between worms.
As most executors understand, there are different levels of worms, and there are also differences in strength and weakness. In the past supernatural missions, most of the worms encountered by the executors were higher-level worms. It can be imagined that, with With Li Qi's strength, the Golden Light Talisman, which focuses on defense, has nothing to do with it. The same is true for the Golden Light Talisman, and the same is true for other supernatural props. The only thing it can do after using it is delay to save life. In essence, it does not cause much real harm to Li Qi. As for earthbound spirits like Sadako, let alone that.
The reason why the golden light talisman can destroy the old man at this moment is precisely because the opponent is not Li Qi, but a lone soul, a lone soul wild hawk whose level and strength are far inferior to Li Qi.
Let’s get back to the topic, let’s not talk about anything else for the moment. As the golden light gradually dissipated, when we witnessed the old man disappearing without a trace, and when it was completely confirmed that the physical restraints were lifted, although he did not understand why the other party disappeared for the moment, the threat that followed made the bald head instinctively Take action, or in other words, he has no time to think about this at all now, because at the moment when the old man's hawk disappeared, the swarms of hawks that were rushing in from all directions were no longer five meters away from him! ! !
"ah!"
Seeing such a scene, the bald man was so frightened that the hairs on his hair stood on end like chaff. He thought he could not escape this disaster, but for some reason, at the moment when he was ready to be drowned and devoured by the swarm of oysters, Inexplicably, his mind recalled the painful expression of the old man when he was illuminated by the golden light.
Just like many times, certain thoughts or ideas just flashed through his mind for a moment, without any reason or reason. After recalling the painful and tragic situation of the old man, Peng Hu made another move at the next moment, knowing full well that he would be caught by these worms. He didn't know what would happen to him, so he reached into his arms for the second time and took out the golden light talisman, prompted by a certain thought in his mind.
He took out the most golden talisman in the entire mission!
Snapped!
The talisman was quickly affixed to his forehead.
At the same time, at the same time, at the moment when the golden light talisman was just attached to the forehead, the nearest few oysters had completely floated in front of him, with pairs of pale oyster claws stretching straight out. It followed closely and sank into Peng Hu's body! ! !
A large group of oysters surrounded the bald man, and a large number of oyster claws went straight into Peng Hu's body! ! !
"Woo!"
When the claws penetrated the body without causing any wounds, Peng Hu had only one feeling. He clearly felt that all his strength had disappeared in an instant, and was being sucked away at an extremely fast speed. He was weak. He was helpless, his whole body was limp, and he even had no strength to stand.
These locusts, these locusts called lonely souls, can actually absorb the life force of living people! ! !
Understood, understood instantly, he finally understood, finally understood how Zhang Xu died, and further figured out why the other party turned into a mummy.
So that's what happened. Now, it's my turn. It's my turn to become a mummy. It's my turn to die miserably.
but……
The expected scene did not happen, and the expected ending did not appear.
Peng Hu is not dead, not transformed into a mummy.
The reason is very simple. The moment the golden light talisman is attached to the forehead and the claws are inserted into the body are at the same moment.
Wow!
At the critical moment, when countless claws sank into the body, causing Peng Hu to become weak, the golden light talisman on his forehead also erupted at this moment, suddenly erupting into a dazzling golden light that spread around!
Then, there was horror, shock, and a more spectacular shock than the first time:
As soon as the golden light spread, the nearest oysters rose up from the ground as if swept by a strong wind, flying upside down like rootless duckweeds, and bounced back in an instant!
At the same time, a voice prompt popped up in my mind:
"Successful use of the golden light talisman will be 100% effective against weaker insects. However, due to too many nearby spirits, the effectiveness of the golden light talisman is suppressed. The protection time will be reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes."
"Drink!"
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Although the prompt was sent, Peng Hu himself almost didn't hear it because he had more important things to do at the moment.
For example, running away, taking advantage of the surrounding swarms of oysters being bounced away by the golden light to escape!
Seeing the swarm flying upside down and seeing the emergence of life, especially after seeing the golden light clearly restraining the swarm, Peng Hu, who was originally desperate and pessimistic, was overjoyed. As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be missed, and in order to survive, it is even more important After informing the other teammates of the news, even though he was weak and physically exhausted, the bald man gritted his teeth and charged wildly while letting out a loud roar, running forcefully, spreading his legs and rushing towards the worms without hesitation.
Yes, since the protective effect of the golden light talisman has been activated, and his whole body has been wrapped in golden light, Peng Hu who rushes into the swarm can be said to be afraid. This is said to be true, and this is indeed the reality. Anyone who rushes all the way will be bald. All the hawks that approached the man flew away without exception, and Peng Hu also took this opportunity to break out of the circle surrounded by hundreds of hawks!
The only regret is...
Unlike the original old man who was directly attacked and wailed and disappeared, maybe there was no personal contact or maybe it was only for defense this time. Although everyone who was hit by the golden light along the way bounced away, it was no longer possible to eliminate the old man. It can only contain it, it can only make the surrounding swarms temporarily unable to attack. Sure enough, as Peng Hu rushed out of the siege, the lonely wild squirrels that had been scattered regrouped and pursued again, floating behind the man one after another.
For a time, hundreds of locusts started chasing like this. 'They' were completely unconscious and irrational, and they only relied on the locust instinct to chase the living people in front.
And what's even more terrifying is...
Different from usual, this time, the swarm was faster.
Its floating speed is now completely equal to that of human sprinting! ! !
Not only that, as Peng Hu fled, and as the swarms of hawks chased him, a large number of lonely souls joined the team along the way and joined the swarm of hawks chasing Peng Hu.
Looking around, we can see hawks everywhere. The whole road is full of hawks!
The road of yin and yang has now completely lived up to its name.
This is a road to the abyss, a road of no return, a road of death where yin and yang will be separated if you step on it.
"Whoaaah!"
Da da da da da da!
Running, endless, howling, continuous ups and downs, Peng Hu's uncontrollable terror prompted him to scream and run, and he ran and screamed. If you look down on the road from a third-person perspective at this moment, you will see the following scene:
In the dark night, there was a person at the front of the road. A bald man was running with his legs. Behind him, there were black shadows, followed by a large number of densely packed and countless solitary slugs. 'They' didn't say a word, each one. Silent, just floating in the air, chasing the bald man collectively at an astonishing speed that is no less than a human running.
As for the bald man...
He was racing against time, racing against the God of Death, taking advantage of the effect of the golden light talisman to run as far away as possible and as close as possible to a certain direction before it dissipated.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Da da da da da!
Mixed with sweat and heavy breathing, under the moonlight, ahead, Peng Hu found that he was almost finished and was about to be finished. It was not that he couldn't outrun the beast, but that he was exhausted and his body was getting heavier and heavier. The legs were also as if they were filled with lead and it was difficult to maintain.
So what if your physical ability is far beyond that of ordinary people? I am still a mortal, an ordinary human being. As long as I am a human, I will have physical limits. As long as I am a human, I cannot avoid physical fatigue.
In addition, he had consumed a lot of energy while avoiding swarms of hawks earlier, and now he could no longer run. The reason why he could still keep running was because of his will to survive. Unfortunately, persistence is persistence after all, Peng Hu. After all, he is not a superman, and his physical strength has its limit after all. He doesn't know how long he can hold on. The protection time of the golden light talisman has been greatly weakened, and his physical strength has been basically exhausted. However, the road ahead has no focus and no end.
Seeing this, Peng Hu had a vague feeling in his mind, an ominous premonition that was about to become a reality.
perhaps……
This run was the last run in his life.
Although this place called Yin Yang Road has no end, it does not prevent it from becoming the end of one's life.
(Is there still hope? Is it still too late? I am not afraid of death, but if the news is not delivered...I, I will not die in peace!)
………
His thoughts crossed the night sky, his consciousness passed through the darkness, and he passed through countless twists and turns, finally entering it, arriving at the window, and then sinking straight into the heart of a young man.
Ding!
In front of the window, staring at the night through the gap between the wooden boards, He Fei's heart began to beat wildly, inexplicably accelerating without any reason, and trembling uncontrollably.
Along with it, there is also an indescribable tension and hesitation.
