The guy lying on the ground saw Xiong Ming let go of his hand, got up from the ground as soon as he turned over, and was about to run away.
Xiong was prepared tomorrow morning, which would make this guy escape from under his nose.
Seeing the kid jumping up from the ground, Xiong Ming immediately stretched out his foot and hooked the guy's ankle without even thinking about it. The short guy was caught off guard, and he "fluttered" and fell like a dog.
After the guy fell down, he tried to get up again, but before he could move, Xiong Ming picked him up like a little chicken.
Xiong Ming lifted the guy into the air. The short guy's eyes were full of fear, but strangely, there was still no expression on his face.
Xiong Ming looked at the dwarf, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to run away? I've thrown you into a bubble. Let me see if you can still run away?"
Before he finished speaking, he rounded his arms and was about to throw the dwarf to the ground.
Xiong Ming's strength was already great, and because this guy had slipped away like a grandson for a long time before, he had already had nowhere to vent his evil fire. This time he had seized the opportunity.
If this was like throwing a cabbage, if the short man fell to the ground, even if he didn't fall on the spot and get bubbles, he would probably be disabled for life.
Soon enough, just when Xiong Ming was about to throw the short man to the ground, I suddenly stopped him and pulled the short man away from Xiong Ming's hands.
Xiong Ming was stunned and shouted to me: "Hu Tian, what do you want to do?"
I saw Xiong Ming yelling at me, so I shouted loudly: "Dali Xiong, when will you calm down?"
Xiong Ming looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Why can't I calm down?"
I said, "Calm down? Have you forgotten why we went to such great lengths to catch this guy?"
When Xiong Ming heard what I said, he snorted and said, "Nonsense! Can I forget this? Of course..."
Xiong Ming did not continue what he said because he suddenly realized that the reason why we went to such great lengths to catch this guy is because he is the only one we know of here so far, except for the two of us. of living people.
Seeing that Xiong Ming was silent, I continued, "What's the matter? Do you understand? Don't you know how heavy your hands are? If you throw him to death right now, who should we find to find out?"
Xiong Ming knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with me. He snorted and walked to the side in a daze, kicking away a stone on the ground.
But the strange thing is that the stone flew far away, but the sound when it landed was not a "pop", but a muffled "bang". It sounded like a stone hitting someone. Same.
After Xiong Ming said "Hey", he planned to walk over there.
I saw that Xiong Ming was planning to go there alone, so I called out to him, "Dali Xiong, what do you want to do?"
Xiong Ming said: "Don't you think something was wrong where the stone landed just now?"
I said, "Is there something right here?"
Xiong Ming thought for a while and said: "That's true! Don't you really go over and take a look?"
I tapped the short man in front of me with my chin and said, "Let's study this guy first and then talk about it!"
After saying this, I no longer paid attention to Xiong Ming, but squatted down and looked straight at the little man in front of me.
The little dwarf's eyes were filled with fear and he was mumbling something, but there was still no expression on his face.
This guy looks very strange. He seems to be only as tall as a six or seven-year-old child, but he has the skin of an adult man in his fifties or sixties. What's even more strange is that his eyes are as clear and transparent as a child's.
Obviously, this guy was wearing a human face mask, and it was a human face mask that was not very good in craftsmanship.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile, and thought to myself: "If my guess is correct, there should be a young child under this human-face mask."
Seeing my smile, Xiong Ming next to me immediately asked: "Hu Tian, what are you laughing at?"
I pointed to the human mask on the child's face and said, "You are already a veteran of the Eight Gates, so you can't even figure out this mystery, right?"
After my reminder, Xiong Ming reacted immediately, frowned and said, "What's the matter? A face mask?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah! You can see clearly, kid! It's a human face mask!"
Xiong Ming frowned and said, "Why is this little kid running around here with a face mask on?"
I turned back to look at the child sitting on the ground, and said, "I have to ask him now!"
After saying that, I turned to look at the child on the ground.
At this time, the child was sitting on the ground and his whole body was shaking like chaff. He wanted to run but didn't dare to run. His eyes looked at me from time to time, and then at Xiong Ming who looked like a Vajra Arhat next to him.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be afraid, kid, we are not bad people, and we will not hurt you!"
To be honest, I don’t have much confidence in saying the words “I won’t hurt you” myself, let alone the person listening to them.
Sure enough, after hearing what I said, the child became even more nervous. He sat on the ground and moved backwards on his hands and knees. After a while, he retreated under the heel of the wall.
Seeing that he had no way out, the child started gesticulating and shouting, hesitating and not knowing what to say.
Seeing that he was so weak, Xiong Ming's eyes widened, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the child's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better be more honest, otherwise I will I’ll tear you apart now, believe it or not?”
Strangely enough, this kid seemed to be very afraid of Xiong Ming. Hearing what Xiong Ming said, he immediately stopped fussing and suddenly covered his mouth with both hands. Tears rolled back and forth in his eyes, but he just didn't dare. Falling.
Xiong Ming nodded upon seeing this and said: "Very good! Your attitude is very good! Next, this person will ask you some questions, and I hope you can answer them honestly! Otherwise... "
Before Xiong Ming finished speaking, the child nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
Seeing the child nodding, Xiong Ming let go of the collar he was holding, turned to look at me, grinned, and said, "My business is done, I'll leave it to you. !”
When I saw this, I could only sigh helplessly, then squatted down and looked at the child in front of me, and said, "Okay! First of all, I want to confirm one thing, that is, you can understand what I say, right?"
The child didn't speak, just nodded.
I continued: "Can you speak our words?"
This time the child nodded first, then shook his head, and then pointed to his mouth.
I frowned slightly. Although I didn't quite understand what he meant, I suddenly remembered that when he spoke before, his motionless lips seemed to understand a little bit what he meant.
I looked at the child and said, "You can speak, but you can't speak now, right?"
The child had big eyes and nodded vigorously.
I looked at the child and asked, "Well, in that case, if I ask a question, all you have to do is point it to me or nod and shake your head. Do you understand?"
The child nodded.
"Very good!" I said, "Do you know where the people here have gone? Why did they suddenly disappear?"
The child thought for a moment, then pointed to the tallest building in the center of the ancient city.
I was stunned and then asked: "You mean, where have they gone?"
The child nodded vigorously.
I frowned slightly and said, "Do you know the way and can you take us there?"
But this time, the child shook his head vigorously.
