As soon as they walked not far away, Li Huixi felt something behind her, so she tugged on the fox's cuffs. The two of them stopped, and Duan Jiang and the little girl behind them also stopped.
Seeing that the leader was no longer moving forward, Duan Jiang said impatiently:
"What's wrong? You got scared before you saw anything?"
Li Huixi ignored his sarcasm, pushed away a few people and looked back. This third eye was very convenient to use, and even had the functions of amplifying and simulating fill light.
I saw a few more figures appearing behind the middle-aged uncle who had drawn the ground as a prison.
When Li Huixi started, several other people also noticed what was behind him. Different from the burnt shadows they saw outside when they first came in, these shadows were obviously tangible.
Seeing a few people who were supposed to move forward suddenly turn back, the middle-aged man was not stupid. He immediately realized that there was something behind him, but he no longer dared to turn his head and look.
Duan Jiang gave him a "hush" gesture, took out a dagger from his arms, first hid his footsteps and lurked next to the black figures, and then rushed forward after he was in a suitable position.
But what came out was a "creaking" sound that penetrated the wood, which was very harsh.
Duan Jiang slowly straightened up. Looking at him, it seemed that these things were not threatening. Several people were also curious, so they came over together.
What fell on the ground were just a few wooden dummies, but the carving skills were quite good. They could be seen as the appearance of these people in the team, except that the dummy corresponding to the fox was missing. This is understandable. After all, the fox is not considered a human. Humanity.
"What the hell is this?"
After the false alarm, the middle-aged uncle touched these wooden figures and spoke first. Since these things were not threatening, his behavior just now was a bit embarrassing.
Duan Jiang pulled out the knife and kicked the wooden man with his foot in disgust. I wonder if it was a coincidence that he kicked the dummy corresponding to Li Huixi. He also spit on it and then said:
"It's just some bells and whistles."
Li Huixi remained silent. No one knew that the parts of the wooden figure stabbed by Duan Jiang had reacted on Li Huixi. Fortunately, she was not sensitive to pain, although the pain would fall on the corresponding parts of her body. on people, but not wounds.
Only the little girl glanced at Li Huixi with her peripheral vision and caught the momentary distortion in her expression.
After dealing with the matter of the black shadow, the few people continued to move forward, and the uncle who was supposed to be hiding within the range of their paintings also followed. Although the wooden man would not attack people, it looked really scary.
But not too far away, another group of dummies that were almost identical to the ones before appeared out of thin air.
Li Huixi subconsciously glanced at where she was just now. The fallen dummies stood up at some point and moved much closer to her.
After confirming that they were not aggressive, Duan Jiang kicked the wooden man blocking the way away with just one kick. This time, he kicked the wooden man corresponding to the middle-aged uncle.
Almost at the same time as the wooden man fell, the uncle squatted on the ground holding his stomach with a painful expression. Duan Jiang's kick was so strong that the middle-aged uncle only felt gastrointestinal cramps, five internal organs cracked, his lips gradually turned white, and his face I couldn't stop the sweat on my face.
Duan Jiang hadn't seen what was happening behind him, and was about to attack the little girl's wooden figure. In order to prevent himself from being harmed, the little girl slowly raised her hand and clenched her fist towards Duan Jiang. .
Duan Jiang's fist that was under control froze in place motionlessly. No matter how hard he tried, he could not bring down his fist, as if there was an invisible hand stopping him.
Duan Jiang also noticed what was happening behind him. Although he was a little frivolous, he was the only one among these people who took the initiative to care about the middle-aged uncle. He put down his backpack and fed the middle-aged uncle a pain reliever. medicine.
After a while, he was able to stand up on his own initiative.
Li Huixi couldn't help but complain in her heart:
"To a certain extent, his divination is very accurate."
"It's a pity that I couldn't escape this disaster."
"By the way, why didn't you tell them in advance?"
"I also want to use this wooden man to kill him."
"You mean...Duan Jiang?"
"if not?"
Taking advantage of the delay of a few people, several groups of wooden figures surrounded them. They all appeared suddenly out of everyone's sight and would not actively attack people. However, these seemingly human and inhuman things inexplicably surrounded a few people, always making them angry. People feel a little uneasy.
For the sake of safety, this time the people gently pushed the wooden man away and stopped attacking. However, the situation did not improve. The wooden man appeared more and more frequently. Slowly, it surrounded several people tightly. In fact, I can’t even find the direction.
Now several people must work together. If they don't keep an eye on all directions, they will be trapped to death in the end, even if they won't be killed by this wooden man.
Obviously everyone understood this truth, but no one was willing to speak. The middle-aged uncle acted as a peacemaker and first talked about Duan Jiang:
"You boy, hurry up and apologize to this girl. That little girl, this little brat just doesn't know what to say. In fact, you are a nice person, and you haven't made any big enemies. The situation is urgent now, so don't forget it. Come on, little man, can you help me?"
Seeing more and more wooden figures surrounding them, and being unable to attack them with brute force, Duan Jiang panicked a little, and apologized perfunctorily:
"Then...it was my fault just now, can you stop me first?"
Li Huixi didn't agree, but silently walked to the position left by several people and stared at the direction she was responsible for.
As expected, no wooden figure appeared again, but Duan Jiang suddenly felt pain as if his finger was broken, but when he took it out and took a look, it was clearly still intact.
He didn't know that it was Li Huixi who cut off a dummy's finger while a few people weren't paying attention, and it was now hidden in Li Huixi's clothes.
This wooden man would not show wounds when he reacted to the injuries on his body, but he was a good tool for killing people without leaving any evidence. However, Duan Jiang did not do anything unforgivable, and Li Huixi simply warned him, and more I don’t want to be targeted by the tripartite federation.
The group of people marched like this for an unknown amount of time, and finally saw the overgrown and dilapidated center of the village.
Even at the door of the house in front of me, there are several large and small grave bags piled up, but the green leaves on them are growing happily, and the people are full of life.
The weeds in the yard are as tall as a man, and their branches are swaying in the wind, like enthusiastic villagers entertaining guests from afar, but they can't speak.
Continuing deeper, several people suddenly heard an extremely harsh meow. Duan Jiang was instantly alert. The middle-aged uncle also felt that something was wrong and said to several people:
"There has been no trace of living people here for more than ten years. Where did the cat come from?"
Duan Jiang suddenly pointed to a strange-looking branch on the house and said with some horror:
"Is it...it?"
The eyes of several people followed Duan Jiang's hand and moved to the house. There was a hunched black cat crawling on it. After you turn on the third eye, you will find that it is just a pile of branches in a very twisted shape. of a wooden cat.
First, a steady stream of imitation wooden figures appeared to block the road, and now even cats are not immune, which has inadvertently increased the fear of this strange disease among several people.
"help me……"
Following the cat's meow, a weak cry for help reached everyone's ears, and something humanoid crawled out from the grass. Duan Jiang was stopped by the middle-aged uncle just as he was about to step forward. After giving him a look, Duan Jiang discovered , this is also a wooden man.
This weird scene made Li Huixi swallow her saliva.
