"Drink!"
Feeling the familiar and terrifying noise, Peng Hu was worthy of his title of veteran, and even more worthy of being the person with the strongest perseverance. He saw the black shadow getting closer and closer, and saw the noise multiplying. When he was about to die, the bald man suddenly When everyone at the scene was dizzy and about to fall to the ground, he screamed and screamed. While holding on in pain and refusing to fall, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his side. First, he grabbed Chen Xiaoyao, who had collapsed for most of his body, and then with his arms. Use your strength, drag the opponent back hastily, and desperately retreat to the light beam behind you!
The moment they retreated from the light beam, everyone, including Peng Hu, suddenly felt relaxed. Although they could still hear the noise, the pain caused by the noise disappeared instantly. As the pain and abnormality suddenly disappeared, everyone returned to normal and retreated collectively. At the moment of the light beam, the vision is clear and no longer blurry.
Then……
Bang! ! !
It was a loud noise that almost shattered the eardrums. Just as a few people retreated to the edge of the light wall, the black shadow coming at the speed of sound directly hit the light pillar. Because the impact was too large, as soon as the black shadow touched the light pillar, the scene A loud noise erupted in an instant, causing the surrounding ground to undulate and shake. No, not only did the ground shake, even the crimson light pillar, known as the strongest defense, showed a slight crack under the impact of the black shadow! ! !
Fortunately, the strongest defense is still the strongest defense. Even if a crack was created by the black shadow, the crack disappeared after 1 second and was instantly filled and repaired by the surrounding light.
Next, with the help of the red light at the scene, before Peng Hu and others could stabilize their bodies, they were shocked to see clearly the appearance of the black shadow, and saw the whole black shadow at close range with only a wall of light separated.
The first thing that catches your eye is the faceless man! It was the tall, thin, faceless man in a suit. Despite his words, the other man's appearance suddenly changed at this moment. His appearance completely changed. The body that was already deformed and tall and thin in the impression was now taller and more burly. The nearly five-meter-long swollen body is so terrifying. In addition to the lengthening of the body and limbs, the pure white face with no facial features is also extremely distorted. His eye sockets are sunken like holes, and his mouth is greatly torn, and then torn apart. It turned into a big, jagged, pitch-black mouth, and what’s even more terrifying is...
tentacle!
There are tentacles on the man's back, and six black tentacles that are almost as long as his body are currently dancing up and down, circling and swaying, like six giant pythons, always peeping at the prey in front of him!
Within the beam of light, he once again witnessed an unforgettable terrifying figure. Li Tianheng, who was already seriously injured, tilted his head and fell unconscious on the spot. He was frightened and fainted by the faceless man. As for the others...
Cluck, cluck.
His teeth were chattering up and down, and his body was shaking violently.
At this moment, looking at the tall and large humanoid monster in front of them, Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao, who were both raising their heads and looking up, were frightened as expected, their bodies were bruised and their livers and gallbladders were broken. They did nothing, said nothing, just Standing side by side, they were shaking like chaff. While shaking, their pupils showed a color of despair.
Yes, they are desperate, completely desperate. Although they are still in a daze, they still recognize the reality from the current situation and confirm a cruel reality that cannot be changed...
They couldn't run away, they were blocked, blocked by the faceless man at the scene, blocked in this temporary light pillar made of bright beads!
There is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the earth. Next, they only need to do one thing, and that is...
Waiting to die!
………
From the moment I set foot in the forest, I concluded that this dark forest is not a good place. Not to mention that my knowledge of Maoshan enabled me to see the danger at a glance. Even with my intuition, I could guess that the black forest is extremely dangerous. Too dangerous to be attached.
In such a place that I judged to be extremely dangerous, I finally walked in.
Why? Why are you willing to go there even though you know the danger? Have I lived enough?
The truth is not like that. I am still young, only 23 years old. What’s more, I still shoulder the great mission of inheriting Maoshan Taoism. If I say that I have lived enough, don’t say that I don’t believe it. I guess even Qi doesn’t believe it. The reason why I am willing to put myself in danger , the key point is that I am not at ease!
After all, someone has to do something, and escaping is never an option.
With this mentality, I entered the forest. Next, I regretted it. The regret came from something I discovered.
It turns out that the black forest is not as extremely dangerous as expected, but a hundred times more serious than the extremely dangerous situation, whoever enters will die! ! !
This is a place where there is no way in or out, and not being able to get out is only secondary. What is really scary is that there is a locust hidden in the forest, an evil monster that is more powerful and perverted than any locust I have ever seen before.
Thin and elongated shadow.
This evil monster that looks both human and inhuman has refreshed my personal world view. I never thought that such a powerful thing could exist in the world. He has many abilities that I have never heard of or seen before, and no matter which one, there is no solution. It poses a great threat to the executor. To describe it as unprecedented, the lack of weaknesses also means that this monster is invincible and difficult to counterattack. The executor has no way to deal with it other than running away.
Fortunately, there is no sure path, and due to the fixed rule of never issuing a fatal mission, although the faceless man is invincible and has great magical powers, the curse still leaves a glimmer of hope for the executor, who is rarely exposed to the bright side. The chance of survival is the card.
Eight white cards with numbers engraved on them are distributed throughout the forest. As long as all the cards are collected, the mission will be completed and you will be able to return to the Hell Train early without having to wait for the full seven-day mission time limit.
After five days of frantic searching, and at the cost of heavy casualties, even Zhao Ping was very likely to die, we collected seven cards.
Seven cards means that victory is close at hand, and it means that we are only one step away from completing the task. This is good news, great news. As long as we continue to work harder and strive to find the last card No. 8, we will get there. , we will instantly escape from the forest or even the entire mission world.
Unfortunately……
We have no chance.
Because the dazzling red light emitted by the bright bead not only attracted Peng Hu and I, but also the invincible monster that had completed its evolution and became stronger.
At the moment when we found Li Tianheng and obtained seven cards, the faceless man suddenly appeared, arriving on time in a way that seemed to be premeditated, and rushed to the scene at supersonic speed.
The Faceless Man is very cunning, extremely cunning, otherwise how could he not come early or late, and have to wait until we are all together to appear? This is obviously planning to gather us into a group and catch them all!
It is precisely because of the extreme cunning of the Faceless Man that he succeeded and successfully executed his catch-all plan, and the last four executors, namely myself, Peng Hu, Kong Ling and Li Tianheng, were blocked by the tigers and had no way to escape. Being completely blocked by the faceless man in the beam of light.
There is no denying that the shrouding light beam constructed by the release of the brilliant beads can indeed resist the noise attack, and even prevent the faceless man from rushing inside to kill us, but the problem is that the light beam cannot be moved, and there is not much time left. From the time Li Tianheng first released the light beam, At this moment, the faceless man appeared, and 15 minutes have passed. The light beam that can last for half an hour has consumed half of the time. At present, we only have 15 minutes of safe time left. It is conceivable that once 15 minutes passes and the light beam dissipates, what awaits us then It seems that the only option is to die, and there is a 100% chance that the faceless man will kill us in an instant, killing us all in an instant.
unless……
We can get the last card in 15 minutes and get card number 8.
Unfortunately, this idea has now become unrealistic and has become a bitter fantasy.
We are blocked, trapped, and everyone is collectively blocked at the scene with no way to escape. At this point, the opportunity to find the No. 8 card is forever lost.
………
In the dark forest at night, a scene is currently unfolding in a relatively empty area, a scene where beauty and despair coexist.
In the center of the area, a huge light beam covering an area of nearly 10 meters was maintained for a long time. The red light was dazzling and crystal clear. The light beam extending to the sky not only illuminated most of the forest but also illuminated most of the night sky. It was such a rare beauty. Unfortunately, Although the light beam is beautiful, there is a fatal crisis next to it.
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah!
Bang dong, bang dong, bang dong!
Next to the light pillar, the signal noise that can kill someone is reverberating fiercely, and together with it, there is a loud impact. A series of shocking impact sounds are shaking the light pillar frequently, and the harsh noise is impacting in front of you. Pillar of light!
The root cause of all this is a monster, a deformed black monster!
Dancing his slender tentacles, the faceless man was roaring and striking with a ferocious expression. In addition to his burly body constantly hitting the beam of light in front of him, the winding and circling tentacles on his back also swung and struck hard from time to time, leaving a mark on the dazzling red light wall. There were shaking ripples. Although the light wall was strong and the impact was fruitless, the man did not give up. He was still impacting fiercely all the time. During the impact, his mouth was wide open, and a pair of eyes that were too sunken to be equivalent to black holes were staring at the light. Wall, staring at several male and female executors who are so close due to the light wall!
Plop.
The shaking of the ground caused by the excessive impact finally made Peng Hu, whose legs had been weak for a long time, collapse to the ground. He ignored the fact that his butt was covered with snow. The bald man's face turned pale and he slowly lowered his head. He first looked down at his watch, and then looked around him. side.
As far as the eye can see, the scene around them is tragic. On the right, Kong Ling is still lying on the ground sleeping and unconscious. On the left, Li Tianheng is also seriously injured and in shock. His life or death is unknown. There is only one person beside him who is not unconscious but is sluggish due to exhaustion of energy. The depressed Chen Xiaoyao.
Witnessing the miserable conditions of his own members, he raised his head and glanced at the faceless monsters that were constantly hitting the pillars, and then...
"Less than 15 minutes left, damn."
Peng Hu lowered his head again and murmured to himself. During the soliloquy, he was sweating like rain. It was obvious that he recognized the reality. After looking around the scene, he thoroughly confirmed the situation in front of him. As he just whispered to himself, there is not much time. Well, although the Brilliant Pearl can indeed last for half an hour and can withstand the attacks of slugs, but this so-called half hour was wasted by Li Tianheng because he used it in advance. In addition, the earlier conversation was also consumed, In other words, from the time everyone was forced to hide in the light pillar, the effective maintenance time of the light pillar was actually less than 15 minutes!
Time is running out, and death is approaching. It is conceivable that with the faceless man's abnormal speed, which is a few minutes faster than the speed of sound, combined with the lethal noise, once the light beam disappears, everyone will probably emit a continuous sound, let alone escape. There was no chance to scream in agony.
Being unable to escape means being trapped in place, and being trapped in place means that the executor has completely lost the opportunity to search for cards.
Excessive fear caused mental tension, and the extremely tense nerves became even more unwilling to be trapped in the scene. Suddenly, Peng Hu stood up from the ground, raised his head to the sky and roared, letting out a series of unwilling and desperate roars: "No. 8 Card, card No. 8, there’s only one fucking card No. 8 left!”
Xu Shi was really unwilling to wait for death like this. As soon as he got up, his bald head immediately moved, looking around hurriedly, widening his eyes to search for everything within the range of the light beam, frantically searching and groping in the small ten-meter area, whether it was Whether it was trees, weeds or gravel in corners, everything that could be seen and touched was included in the search. Yes, the man was unwilling to give in, extremely unwilling, so he searched wildly like this, hoping that God would open his eyes and let him be nearby. I was lucky enough to find 8 cards.
Unfortunately, no, there is nothing. I searched all the locations in the light column, but found nothing. This is doomed and inevitable. No matter how unwilling and desperate you are, you will never be able to find it within a mere ten meters like winning a lottery. If the card could be found, it would really be a world-class joke.
The truth is this, but...
"No, no, no!"
Blah, blah, blah.
Seeing that there was nothing around him, Peng Hu was so anxious that he kept mumbling. He bent over and rummaged around on the ground, and actually started pushing and pushing to check the snow on the ground!
There is no doubt that the man fell into extreme fear. He was frightened to collapse by the faceless man who was repeatedly hitting and roaring outside the light beam. In addition, there was not much time left, and he had a premonition of the outcome of death, so he could only use this kind of knowing and helpless way. The result is a way to vent your emotions and let go of your inner dissatisfaction.
Crash, crash.
"Where are the cards? Where are they?" During the rummaging, the bald man said to himself while sweating like rain. He rummaged through the snow on the ground like a madman until...
Snapped.
Someone hit him on the shoulder from behind. When he looked back, he saw Chen Xiaoyao staring at him with helpless eyes.
"Hey, Brother Peng, stop looking. How can there be cards in such a small area? Instead of wasting energy on such useless work, it's better to think of a way to deal with it first!"
I don't know whether it was because he was woken up by the young man's wave or because he was searching for fruitless things. The man regained his senses and suddenly came to his senses. Peng Hu barely regained his composure, but the impatience and panic all over his face still enveloped the man at all times. Sure enough, as soon as he turned around, he didn't wait for the other party. Continuing to speak, the man frowned and asked directly: "Response? How to respond? We are all stuck here, and there is not much time left..."
After saying this, he paused, then turned around and continued: "Being blocked by such a heaven-defying monster, unless we can fly, we can only stay where we are."
Everything Peng Hu said was true. Of course, not only Peng Hu was anxious and on the verge of despair, but Chen Xiaoyao was also so frightened by the situation of waiting to die that he almost fainted. In addition, the red light beam was about to disappear. If he didn't hurry up, Escape from here, and no one of the four people present will be able to survive. That's true, but...
There is no way, there is really no way!
Do you dare to leave the light beam protection area? Do you dare to rush out of the beam of light and run away in front of the faceless man? Or do you know the consequences of doing this?
What are the consequences?
It's very simple, die. With the overall strength contained in the faceless man's transformation at this moment, not only did he become larger and faster, but the intensity of his noises was also at least twice as strong as before. From the instant dizzy reaction, we can easily draw the conclusion that if Peng Hu hadn't quickly pulled him back with his quick eyes and hands, dragging him back to the light beam in time, maybe they wouldn't even have the chance to stay in the light beam and wait for death in despair, and they would probably be shocked to death on the spot. .
Therefore, you cannot go out, and you must not leave the light pillar. Taking a step back, even if there is no noise, the faceless man's movement speed, which is faster than the speed of sound, is enough. As long as you leave the light pillar, the opponent will definitely be able to reach you. He grabbed you within half a second, and then used the black tentacles on his back to cut you into pieces. Li Tianheng's penetrated abdomen and broken legs were typical examples!
"Actually, I have absolutely no choice. If I had enough physical strength and energy now, I might still be able to sacrifice my own life to buy time for everyone to escape, and use the Five Elements Technique to trap the faceless man as before, but , but now I don’t talk about using Taoism, I don’t even have the strength to run anymore.”
Chen Xiaoyao answered Peng Hu's question in a truthful way. As he just said candidly, Chen Xiaoyao is not afraid of sacrifice. If he is physically strong and energetic now, he can indeed forcibly restrain the faceless man at the expense of himself, and then Create an escape opportunity for Peng Hu and others, but unfortunately, now he is only a semi-disabled man.
"Is it absolutely impossible to escape from the light beam? If that's the case, then we really have nothing to do?" After hearing the young man's answer, Peng Hu still refused to give up and asked, while Chen Xiaoyao nodded his head and sighed silently: "Yes, There is no other way, indeed there is no other way, unless..."
"Unless we can find the last card No. 8 before the light beam protection time ends, as long as we collect eight cards, by then we will not only be able to complete the task, but we will also be cursed to teleport back. It's a pity..."
Having said this, he glanced at the crimson beam of light on the opposite side which was obviously not as dazzling as it was at first. Chen Xiaoyao closed his mouth and stopped talking. He just sighed with a bitter look on his face.
Yes, there is no need to explain. If nothing else, you can clearly feel that Chen Xiaoyao is desperate just from the helpless sigh of the young man. Although there is only one card left, the problem is that they have lost it. The opportunity to find the card has been blocked by the faceless man, and there is no way to escape. What's even more terrifying is...
The beam of light is fading!
As time passed by, the red beam of light that was repeatedly struck by the faceless man was now dimming. When I looked at the time, I realized that 25 minutes had passed without my noticing!
5 minutes, the last 5 minutes, represent the last 5 minutes when the fire of life is about to go out.
As the saying goes, people are different, and their reactions to death are also different. At this moment, watching the frequent collisions of worms, listening to the ups and downs of noise, and seeing the light beam getting darker and darker as time goes by, excluding the unconscious executioner at the scene. , Chen Xiaoyao, who was so scared that his teeth chattered earlier, is no longer afraid, but is just calm and calm, calm and calm without fear of life or death.
As for Peng Hu...
The bald man is at the other extreme!
As an iron-blooded tough guy who has always had a bad temper and is not even afraid of a snake once he gets angry, Peng Hu is unwilling to give in. He is extremely unwilling to do so. But it is precisely because he is extremely unwilling to die here that the man's emotions gradually rise and fall. After Chen Xiaoyao learned that there was really no solution, his fear gradually turned into anger, and a huge rage ignited in his chest!
"No way? No way? I still don't believe in Male Gobi! I have to give it a try no matter what!"
Staring at the faceless man opposite who was frequently bumping into each other, Peng Hu muttered to himself with a knot in his forehead, then reached into his arms and took out something, and took out something that looked like a stone, a strange stone that was as clear as a diamond.
Frozen stone!
Yes, it is the frozen stone, an intermediate supernatural prop that requires a high amount of survival points to be exchanged for. It is very simple to use. You only need to throw the stone to the ground, and the ice will be released instantly. The ice can The effect of freezing everything and even spiritual bodies within 15 meters is very good, but...
Peng Hu was unwilling to use it earlier, and he was unwilling to use it in this mission. In other words, he was unwilling to use it to deal with the faceless man!
Because, after several days of forest exploration and combined with many personal experiences, he now understands the Faceless Man. He knows that the Faceless Man is an extremely special hawk that can emit signals, create noise, and even vibrate the air. It is conceivable that the perverted monster can do this. Faced with such a monster that can create extremely strong shocks, can ice still freeze it? As expected, as soon as the ice cube froze him, perhaps the faceless man could use the shock to instantly shatter the ice cubes on his body into shards of ice, and then break free from the restraints and return to the original state.
To put it simply, it can be understood that the reason why Peng Hu is unwilling to use the frozen stone to deal with the faceless man is not that the frozen stone is not effective, but that the faceless man's shock ability can restrain the frozen stone!
Based on the above speculation, it explains why Peng Hu has been unwilling to use the frozen stone to deal with the faceless man. The reason is simply that he does not want to waste this prop that can only be used once per mission, and he does not want to do useless work, but...
People are in a hurry to climb a tree, dogs are in a hurry to jump over a wall. At this moment, seeing that there is not much time left, and seeing that the light beam is about to disappear, at that last moment when no matter how you look at it, the outcome is certain, in order to escape from danger, even if you guess that the props are useless, even if you know that there is a high probability of being trapped. He couldn't help but be masculine, but under the pressure of imminent death, he had no choice but to take a risk, and now his hope of survival rested entirely on this prop!
