As the saying goes, a dog jumps over a wall in a hurry, but a man desperately tries his best. He thought about it for a long time. After confirming that he could not find a way to escape, Chen Taoist became anxious and finally recognized the reality. What is the reality? The reality is that instead of waiting until his physical energy is exhausted and finally being caught, it is better to take a risk while he still has some physical energy and fight for his life or death!
Note that the life-fighting referred to here does not mean turning around and fighting to the death as imagined. Obviously, because he knew that the source of the sound could cause people to become dizzy and comatose, Chen Xiaoyao did not dare to approach the opponent at all, but planned to execute it from a distance. Delay strategy, use the Taoist skills recently learned from "Tao Follows Nature" to limit the danger. It is best to make the opponent stop moving. Only in this way can you have hope of escape.
There is a saying in the art of war that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. It means that before deciding on a confrontation, you must first understand the enemy, be clear about the enemy, and grasp as many clues as possible. At the very least, you must generally know some of the characteristics and characteristics of the enemy. Because of this, in fact, even if you are certain, Before planning a strategy, you still need to observe the other party. No matter what, you have to look back and see what the thing is that is chasing you! ! !
Whoosh!
Just do it as soon as you think of it, without delay. I don't know whether it was because of the recent improvement in cultivation or the great improvement of skills during training. As soon as he made up his mind, the next moment, his legs suddenly jumped up with force. With the help of high-speed running, Chen Xiaoyao jumped up and jumped away. On the ground, he immediately flipped in mid-air and jumped onto a branch. Without any auxiliary tools, he jumped up into the air by himself and jumped to the top of the big branch next to him!
There are two purposes for this move. The first is to be condescending for observation, and the second is that he cannot do without this tree, or in other words, his entire plan must rely on the tree to be implemented!
As the body landed smoothly on the branch, before the shaking of the branch ended, the cat's eye flashlight had already turned around under the control of the young man and shined behind him, directly towards the source of the sound hidden in the dark night behind him.
A cursed product, it must be a high-quality product. With the powerful light-concentrating ability of the cat-eye flashlight, sure enough, as soon as the direction of the flashlight was turned, the light beam instantly pierced the darkness and locked onto the target. The answer and target were successfully discovered under the light beam's speed that exceeded all light speeds. Let Chen Xiaoyao completely see the source of the voice that is chasing him!
only……
With the help of a flashlight, when he saw the source of the sound with his own eyes and saw clearly the complete appearance of the pursuer who was moving at high speed a hundred meters away, Chen Xiaoyao was frightened to death. No, frightened to death was a bit exaggerated, but he was also frightened. Half of his soul had ascended to the sky, and his whole body was just like this with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open. Then his body was shaking wildly and sweating, as if he was on an Antarctic glacier. The chill was spreading all over him. He was so cold that he shivered again and again. He was shocked out of his mind, and his mouth twitched frequently subconsciously. A few words popped out:
"What the hell is this? This, this, what the hell is this!?"
………
The cold wind blows in the forest at midnight, and the mist spreads and sweeps through the forest. It is cold and dark, and there is no life. Only crows occasionally fly by, which is like a natural boundary between the world and hell.
When the cat's eye flashlight shone on the source of the sound that was chasing him, Chen Xiaoyao was so frightened that he almost fell under the tree.
Fear, besides fear is fear!
As a Maoshan Taoist priest and executor, Chen Xiaoyao is considered to be well-informed and knowledgeable. He has seen all kinds of worms, including souls, lonely souls, wolf monsters, fierce worms, and even earth-bound spirits. After coming into contact with them, those spirit creatures had different appearances and different abilities, and existed in various ways. Some made him feel troublesome, and some made him feel uneasy. Among them, the earthbound spirit was a standard synonym for despair. However, even if The earth-bound spirit brought Chen Xiaoyao only despair, helpless despair. Despair is not the same as fear. In fact, Chen Xiaoyao was indeed not afraid, at least never from the bottom of his heart. Even if he was eventually killed and died miserably, Chen Xiaoyao Still able to be calm and calm, maintaining the calmness before death.
He originally thought that there was nothing in the world that could make him afraid, but unexpectedly...
Unexpectedly, one day I would feel fear in a certain existence for the first time, complete fear, fear from the heart.
Because he saw something that seemed human but not human.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
While Chen Xiaoyao was coughing involuntarily, the first thing that caught his eye through the flashlight was a man, a 3-meter-tall man. He had no eyes, no facial organs, and his entire head was pure white, with only a faint outline of his face. , wearing a black suit under the silhouette, with a tie around his neck. His body as tall as a small tree and his astonishingly long limbs are so seriously unreasonable and uncoordinated. In addition, the man also has his feet off the ground and is suspended in the air. He moves in the air slightly off the ground, releasing sounds during the movement, frequently releasing bursts of noise that sting the eardrums more than FM radio. With the help of light, you can indeed see him, but...
At the same time as you see it, your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body, brain and even soul are also collectively affected in an instant, and are impacted one after another, which will lead to stars in your eyes, eardrums roaring, nose bleeding, mouth coughing, and body... Trembling, brain dizziness, and eventually you will feel inexplicable fear. When you see the faceless man, the strange electric waves released by him will instantly affect everything, and the closer the distance, the greater the impact!
At this moment, the faceless man was floating and moving, releasing noise while rushing towards Chen Xiaoyao! ! !
Finally, when he fully saw the pursuer's appearance, Chen Xiaoyao understood. He instantly figured out the cause and effect. Sure enough, it was the faceless man. He was the tall, thin, faceless man who had appeared in the video preview before the mission began. He is also the protagonist of the urban legend that Cheng Ying originally narrated, a terrifying existence that looks like a dragonfly but is 100 percent weirder than a dragonfly...
Slender shadow! ! !
(You can’t let him get close to me, you absolutely can’t let him get close, otherwise I will face a fate worse than death!)
"Ugh, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
This was the only thought in Chen Xiaoyao's mind after confirming the identity of the other party with his own eyes. Then, he moved, ignoring the blood coming out of his nostrils and coughing continuously. He ignored the stars in his eyes and his brain was dizzy. The faceless man's face changed drastically as he quickly shortened the distance. Make a move!
Hooray.
His legs were tied into a horse stance, his waist was straightened instantly, his left and right palms were moved to his chest, and he immediately made the Taoist gesture with lightning movements as fast as afterimages. His hands were interlaced vertically and horizontally, and his fingers were flipped back and forth, making a gesture that was almost invisible to the naked eye. He was making various complex gestures at a fast speed. He was making seals, trying classic magic for the first time, and using the Maoshan secret technique left by his master as a last ditch effort. Forming seals took time, so he was racing at the same time. As he came closer and closer, he dared to stay in the treetops, even though his nosebleeds were gushing like a stream, even though his vision was blurred and he was almost blind, and even the other party tried to shorten the distance to less than 50 meters, but he still did not move, focusing on forming seals from beginning to end!
Bah, bah, bah!
The noise became more and more harsh, and the desperate situation was approaching. When the distance between the two sides was only 10 meters, when the dizziness was about to cause brain shock and coma at the last moment...
His eyes suddenly widened, and the seal ended. As the seal action came to an end, the next second, Chen Xiaoyao waved his right arm and touched the tree beside him, protruding his index finger in a hand gesture, and finally put his index finger against the tree. At the same time, he shouted loudly:
"Maoshan Five Elements Escape Technique, the dead tree blooms in spring!"
(This is the first time I have used this kind of technique. I am not skilled at all. I just follow the instructions. Master, please don’t play tricks on me. The apprentice’s life or death depends on this!)
Loud shouts rang out in the sky, and the forest echoed crazily. Then, a shocking scene happened instantly:
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the flash of lightning, just when the index finger was pressed on the tree, the big tree next to it began to tremble and shake, shaking suddenly and violently in a way similar to an earthquake. As the tree body shook and shook, the originally quiet and solid branches and leaves also followed. There was rustling and ups and downs, but the thing was not over, far from over. It was too late to say, but it was so fast. The tree body just shook. A second later, countless branches and leaves growing on the top of the big tree actually started to spontaneously appear as if they had gained life. Piaowu actively circled, extending collectively as they circled, rushing down to capture their prey like a large number of hungry snakes that had just finished their hibernation, rushing towards the faceless man in the suit who was getting closer and closer! ! !
Then……
It's surrounding, it's tightening. The moment the branches and leaves touch the man, many treetop branches have already entangled and wrapped his body until it is wrapped into a rice dumpling, thus trapping the faceless man in it!
Sure enough, because the branches were filled with rain and the winding was too tight, the moment his body was restrained by the branches and leaves, the faceless man who had previously been levitating and rushing straight towards the target also stopped moving instantly, just like this, under Chen Taoist's weird Five Elements Escape Technique Confined firmly to the center of the ground.
Success!
Successfully restricted the other party, successfully trapped the other party!
Witnessing this scene, the first thing that came to mind was joy, which filled his heart with joy. As just described, seeing that his physical energy was about to be exhausted, Chen Xiaoyao, with a gambling mentality and thinking that death was imminent, decided to take a risk. He planned to use some means to restrict the other party in order to gain an opportunity to escape for himself, and the method he used for gambling was precisely the Five Elements Escape Technique, a Maoshan technique he had recently learned from "Tao Follows Nature", which he must resort to. To be honest, it is true that he has completed the practice and even mastered the essence of the limited Taoist technique that can only be driven by external objects, but he cannot experiment because he is on the train. In fact, this is the first time he has used it. Due to lack of practice, When using it, even Chen Xiaoyao himself was not sure whether it would be successful. The reason why he had to bite the bullet and use it forcefully was because he was desperate and forced to take risks. He seemed to have a do-or-die mentality. In the end, he succeeded by chance. I don't know if he was lucky enough. Thanks to the secret protection of the Taoist ancestor, the Five Elements Escape Technique that Taoist Chen used for the first time miraculously went smoothly. He successfully surrounded the faceless man and restricted his movement!
but……
There must be gains and losses, and there must be losses. The world is fair, and you always have to pay for what you get, or in other words, you always have to pay a corresponding price for anything you do.
Chen Xiaoyao suffered a strong backlash. After using the Taoist secret called 'Dead Trees Reborn', he suddenly felt as if he had run a marathon, exhausted, sweating, and shaking like chaff. In addition, the noise around him irritated his eardrums. After the Taoist backlash and strange noises Under the double blow, before he could smile, Taoist Chen was completely defeated. With his physical strength and most of his energy drained out in an instant, he shook his body and fell straight down. He suddenly slid off the branch and fell to the ground like a water tower that had lost its support.
Whoosh, bang!
"Ah! Ouch, ahhhhh!"
The screams came as expected, and the screams of pain were ear-piercing. The impact pain caused by the direct fall of several meters made the young man howl harshly on the spot. The pain made him grin and he almost fainted. That was true, but then Coincidentally, it was the bursts of pain that filled the body that stimulated the young man's nerves, causing Chen Xiaoyao, who should have collapsed into a coma, to still be awake. Because his consciousness was still there, as expected, as soon as the screams ended, Chen Xiaoyao felt like He made hasty movements as if he sensed some kind of crisis. He immediately climbed up with his hands and feet and gritted his teeth. He made a decisive decision and got up and ran away when his physical strength was clearly exhausted. He rolled and staggered forward like a drunken man, and he was still being beaten behind him. The faceless man entangled in branches ran in the opposite direction. Even though his vision was filled with stars, his brain was confused and dizzy, even though his physical strength was completely lost and his speed was slow, even though he repeatedly hit trees and screamed in pain, he still ran with force, staggering and moving clearly. The ultimate way to escape was to stay as far away from the faceless man as possible, with fear and timidity on full display, wailing and running at the same time, only wishing that his parents would lose two legs.
Run away, you must run away, you must run out of the opponent's perception range before the faceless man breaks free!
There is no need to explain. Just from Chen Xiaoyao's current actions, it can be seen that he is looking for opportunities to stay away. He takes advantage of the Taoist skills to successfully restrain the faceless man and runs as far away as possible. There is no denying that the dense branches are indeed trapped. The other party, and Chen Xiaoyao's original plan to delay the implementation can be considered basically achieved, but so what? As a Taoist priest and senior executor in Maoshan, no one understands things like mango monsters better than Chen Xiaoyao. Mango monsters are evil and ferocious. They kill innocent people indiscriminately. They often ignore the rules and appear and appear. Their abilities are weird and unnatural. What's more, some can transcend the law! Even if you possess Taoism and are proficient in Xuanmen, it is still difficult for you to kill them with worldly things. At most, you can use Xuanmen methods to restrict them.
The restriction is there. As for how long it can be restricted, only the curse and God know.
In order to prevent himself from blowing out the lamp and pulling out the wax, how could Chen Xiaoyao care about physical injury under the pressure of fear? He ran away without saying a word, ran with all his strength, and ran forcibly under the unfavorable conditions where his vision was like that of a blind man. He frequently hit trees, but even if he hit trees one after another and screamed in pain, Taoist Chen still insisted on not being injured or dead. The two were forced to choose injury first and save their lives.
So, just like that, in the wailing that echoed through the sky, Chen Xiaoyao, who had only half a life left, ran further and further away, and soon disappeared into the distant night...
As a side note, if there were others present when Chen Xiaoyao released the Five Elements Escape Technique, it is estimated that at least half of the 10 people would subconsciously think of an island country on the other side of the sea, and then think of something called Japanese Ninjutsu. After all, the impression Chinese and Japanese ninjas have used many so-called ninjutsu with the title of "escape", and many film and television or animation works have also shown Japanese ninjas using ninjutsu. Over time, whenever people talk about escape, they are used to referring to it. Escape techniques are classified as Xuanmen techniques that are unique to ninjas or only possessed by Japan.
If you really think so, you are absolutely wrong!
Before explaining, we must first know that there is a word in the world, a specific adjective called 'plagiarism'.
Yes, the Five Elements Escape Technique was not actually created by the Japanese, but was conceived by the Chinese. It was developed and pioneered by the Taoist ancestors as early as 3,000 years ago. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down to future generations. The full name of the Five Elements Escape Technique is the Five Elements Escape Technique. The five elements of 'metal, wood, water, fire, and earth' serve as material carriers and are finally driven by Taoism to manifest the borrowed Maoshan technique.
Because the Five Elements Escape Technique is so magical that it can even control all things for their own use, during the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese crossed the sea and collected them privately. They used various methods to collect Taoist classics and transported them back to the Japanese islands. At this point, the Five Elements Escape Technique was spread to Japan and became popular. This technique made the Japanese ecstatic as if they had found a treasure. Some people practiced it and gradually developed it into the so-called ninjutsu after integrating a large number of local skills. Ninjutsu also relied on the five elements of yin and yang. Of course, Chinese Taoism was profound and profound, and the Japanese The so-called Ninjutsu can only learn the superficial knowledge of Five Elements Escape Technique. It is basically an inferior copy of Five Elements Escape Technique. The actual effect is far inferior to the authentic Maoshan Five Elements Escape Technique. However, as time goes by, the years are like shrews, and since the beginning of modern times, , secular forces began to interfere with Taoism, and finally used violent means to forcibly eliminate Taoism in China, leading to the complete destruction of Maoshan Taoism, which has only been inherited for 3,000 years in China.
As the saying goes, if the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs? Even the entire Taoist sect was wiped out, how could Maoshan's magic be spared? The Five Elements Escape Technique also disappeared at that time, and was forever forgotten by the people of the country.
On the other side, Japan is completely the opposite. Although the Japanese country is small and has a shallow culture, the Japanese country has been good at management since ancient times. It has properly preserved all the cultural secrets learned from China. In modern times, it has relied on its developed film, television, animation and other media expertise to export culture. , and promoted most of the so-called Japanese culture originally learned from China to the world, which naturally included Japanese ninjutsu.
So, just like that, the world-famous Five Elements Escape Technique became unique to Japan. Most people in the world subconsciously linked Five Elements Escape Technique with Ninjutsu. They did not realize that the so-called Japanese Ninjutsu just plagiarized Maoshan Five Elements Escape Technique.
………
In order to avoid dying at a young age, Chen Xiaoyao risked his life and gambled like crazy. When he realized that he could never escape the pursuit of death, he used his heart to release the Taoist skills, which he had just learned recently and even experimented with. He used his Five Elements Escape Technique and used the trees around him to collect local materials to release Wood Escape. He used Wood Escape to forcefully attack the faceless man. As a result, he succeeded by luck.
Let’s get back to the topic. Although there are many descriptions above, in fact, from Chen Xiaoyao releasing Mu Dun to trap the man to falling to the ground and wailing and escaping, the whole process took less than 5 seconds. Taking this opportunity, Chen Xiaoyao ran away decisively and went crazy. Far away, it soon disappeared into the distant night.
As for the faceless man...
He made no movement, no struggle, and never moved from beginning to end. Instead, he allowed many branches as dense as rain to tightly wrap around him. It seemed that he was trapped and unable to move, but in fact, the above was only superficial.
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah!
The sound began to get louder and the murmur gradually increased in intensity.
Yes, just as the branches and vines were wrapping around his body, the harsh noise that had been surrounding the man suddenly increased in volume. The sound became louder and louder, until it eventually caused ripples in the surrounding air. The phenomenon visible to the naked eye is derived from a strange picture similar to ghosting. This is oscillation, which is an air oscillation that is finally revealed due to excessively strong radio waves!
What's even more frightening is that because the vibration frequency is too strong, and the scope of the impact is getting wider and wider, everything within a radius of half a mile is affected. For a time, a large number of insects explode and die, and countless flowers and plants wither. Even those that happen to fly by this area Several crows nearby died instantly under the influence of the radio waves, and after letting out shrill cries, they fell to the ground with bleeding from their seven holes! ! !
However, even so, the mutation is not over yet, and the horror is far from that.
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! ! !
The noise became more and more permeable, and more and more shrill, until it reached its final peak, and then...
A scene that would make anyone, including the executor, heartbroken, happened:
Wow! ! !
Gone, everything disappeared.
At the moment when the noise reached the critical point that matter could withstand, there was only a sweet and crisp sound, and the countless dense vines that originally wrapped around the man's body disappeared. No, they did not disappear, but shattered. Under the too huge sound wave vibration It instantly turned into powder and scattered on the ground. Not only the surrounding branches turned into powder, but also the nearby trees that were closer to the man were also affected, and they all disintegrated and turned into powder under the shroud of shock. No matter how big or small the tree was, even the size of one of them was The huge towering giant also collapsed under the envelope of sound waves, and immediately decomposed into particles all over the ground. The collapse of the material caused the environment to change, causing a vacuum zone to appear on the scene, a circular blank with the faceless man as the center, and the blank area was as long as 100 meters! Everything within a hundred meters is turned into powder, and all life within a hundred meters is extinct! ! !
However, the sound wave has not dissipated, and the deafening and terrifying noise is still ringing around the scene. The noise is heard, and the faceless man moves, shaking his head in the ghost image full of ripples in the air, turning his head sideways, looking back into the darkness in the distance, and the process of turning back In the middle, the man's body began to blur, just like the TV screen was filled with dense snowflakes due to sudden signal interference. It kept blurring and ghosting until it became a world of snowflakes.
The snowflakes lasted for about 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the man disappeared in a blur, along with a harsh noise.
The environment returned to silence, and the scene returned to normal. In the end, there was only a blank ground a hundred meters long and wide, and another low-frequency radio wave that could not be heard but had already covered the entire forest.
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
