A strong murderous intention flashed in Xiao Jun's eyes, and his fists clenched loudly, but in front of Liao Xian'er, he did not dare to take action after all.
"Wei Yiguang, stop pretending to be a messenger of justice here!"
He shouted violently: "Liao Fan is seriously injured and will be eaten by monsters sooner or later. Why not sacrifice him so that we can escape?"
"If you are really so just, why didn't you come to the rescue just now? Why do I think you can run faster than us?"
Wei Yiguang was speechless for a while: "I...ah!"
He was about to defend himself, but suddenly, Wei Yiguang let out a miserable howl.
I turned my head suddenly and saw a dark shadow hanging from the tree crown. A pair of dry claws tightly grasped Wei Yiguang's shoulders and quickly pulled him into the thick branches and leaves.
The situation happened so suddenly that by the time we reacted, Wei Yiguang had long disappeared.
What was that just now?
I felt a chill in my heart and my pupils tightened.
Xiao Jun and his companions suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked nervous.
After a moment, with two bangs, the two stumps fell down. The clothes on the stumps were exactly what Wei Yiguang was wearing just now!
"Everyone be alert!"
When Liao Xian'er saw this, she immediately said in a deep voice.
Dahu and I and several other bodyguards quickly gathered around Liao Xianer. Xiao Jun and his companions also involuntarily approached us.
Several people stood back to back, raising their heads and looking warily at the dense tree crown.
swish swish...
There were constant rustling sounds inside the tree crown, and black shadows were looming under the cover of branches and leaves.
I suddenly remembered that when I stood under the old locust tree yesterday, I didn't pay attention to the wisp of black shadow I saw at the time. Now it seems that there is indeed something dark on the old locust tree.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared and jumped vertically towards my head.
It was only then that I finally saw the true face of the black shadow.
The monster's face was rotten, revealing white bones, and a pair of holes were exposed around its eyes. The skin and flesh all over its body had long since dried, tightly wrapping its skeleton-like body.
It turned out to be a mummy!
There was a rope tied around the neck of the mummy, and its whole body fell vertically. Its sharp claws stretched forward to catch me.
A gust of cold wind hit me. I turned to one side to avoid the mummy, and at the same time, I whipped it hard with King Wu's Whip.
puff!
King Wu's whip struck the mummy, like hitting a sandbag, with a muffled sound that made my mouth feel numb.
Unexpectedly, the body of this mummy was so hard. When I whipped it, there was only one more hole in the body of the mummy, but it was not fatally injured.
With one missed hit, the rope around the mummy's neck quickly tightened, and the mummy rose straight up and disappeared into the thick branches and leaves.
This mummy is not only extremely hard, but also reacts quickly. It seems to have some intelligence and is more difficult to deal with than the round monsters outside.
The sound of rustling kept sounding, and one mummy after another emerged from the branches and leaves and swooped down towards us.
Liao Xianer quickly commanded his subordinates, and several people gathered in a circle to form a defensive formation. I quickly ran over and joined the formation.
The two paper men also threw out countless paper figures, formed a circle around themselves, and started fighting with the hanging mummy.
The mummy's attack is sharp and its reaction is very fast. If it misses a hit, it will be quickly introduced into the tree canopy, so it is quite troublesome to kill it.
After a lot of effort, we only managed to kill four or five of them, but the number of mummies in the canopy did not decrease at all, but became more and more.
The number is not far behind the monsters outside.
"Mr. Cheng, please go save Axiu!"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaoshuan, who had been hiding behind me, shouted loudly.
I turned around and saw that a mummy had grabbed the silly girl's shoulder and was about to pull her into the canopy.
Chen Xiaoshuan grabbed the stupid girl's arm and pulled her down with all his strength. Both parties were exerting their strength and refused to let go.
I tiptoed, rushed over quickly, and struck the mummy's head with a thunder and fire talisman.
The mummy was pulling the silly girl, but without reacting, it was hit by the thunder and fire talisman, and its head immediately exploded and turned into a ball of debris.
Chen Xiaoshuan quickly held the frightened silly girl in his arms and comforted her softly.
"Axiu, it's okay, don't be afraid!"
Immediately, he turned around and walked to me.
"Mr. Cheng, please, please take Axiu out!"
I smiled helplessly: "Now we can't protect ourselves, and I can't guarantee that we will be able to take her out safely."
Chen Xiaoshuan refused to give up and said stubbornly: "Mr. Cheng, I know that you are all capable people. As long as you promise me to take Axiu out, I will hand over what you are looking for!"
Chen Xiaoshuan's voice was not loud, but the people who were fighting heard it. In an instant, the group of people turned their heads and stared at Chen Xiaoshuan.
"You know what we're looking for?"
I was also slightly stunned, feeling a little doubtful about Chen Xiaoshuan's words.
"Yes, you came here from the outside world after all the hard work, isn't it just for that thing?"
Chen Xiaoshuan said in a deep voice: "I know where the things you are looking for are hidden, but you have to promise me to take Axiu out."
"Okay, I promise you!"
Looking at Chen Xiaoshuan's sincere eyes, for some reason, I felt an inexplicable trust in my heart.
With a thunder and fire talisman, I killed the mummy attacking from above. I pulled the two of them and brought them to Liao Xian'er.
"Mr. Liao, you should have heard everything."
"Um,"
Liao Xian'er nodded: "We don't have any clues about Wu Zi yet, but we can give it a try."
"Boy, you'd better not lie, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, for Axiu's sake, I won't tell any lies!"
Chen Xiaoshuan said solemnly.
"Well, before I find Wu Zi, let me clean up these nasty things first!"
After Liao Xian'er finished speaking, she formed a seal with her fingers, then flicked her sleeves, swish, swish!
In an instant, four golden flags flew out of her sleeves and shot into the canopy of the tree.
After a moment, countless rays of golden light shot out from the four directions of the tree crown. The rays of light intertwined and weaved into a fine golden net.
As soon as the mummies landed on the net, they let out a shrill wail, and black smoke began to emit from their bodies. Within a few seconds, they were completely reduced to ashes.
This net formed a natural barrier above our heads, blocking the corpses so that we no longer had to deal with the attack.
"I didn't expect Mr. Liao to have such a trick, he never shows his face."
I glanced at Liao Xian'er and said with a hint of teasing.
