Chapter 876
Thousands of clues
After seeing how this thing absorbed nutrients from the tiger's corpse, I didn't hesitate for a moment. I held the Tianguan Blade in one hand to maintain the balance of my body, and used all my strength to lift my right foot up, sticking to the blood vessels on the sole of my foot.
It's like a rubber band being stretched inch by inch, and it's even vibrating like a pipa.
Immediately, the short knife in my hand swiped downwards.
Poof!
The blood vessels on the soles of the shoes were all severed, and sticky, fishy, and strangely warm blood splattered all over my body. However, I didn't care about it. I quickly adjusted my posture and tilted the Tianguan Blade to my right hand for support.
Body, quickly cut off the blood vessels in the left foot.
At this point, I was completely out of trouble.
Everyone around them has basically been affected. Fortunately, although these blood vessels are evil, the threat is not as great as imagined. The strength of adults is enough to fight against it, but Xiaozhi cannot. Although she has Taoism at the level of fetal breath, even
Infinitely close to the level of Xuanwei, it only takes an opportunity to complete the transformation, but this is a competition of power, which is really difficult for a child.
After I escaped from the trap, I ran towards her almost immediately, put my arms around her waist, and picked her up suddenly. The Wushuang Mo Dao that also escaped from the trap swept away and cut off all the blood vessels in the soles of her feet.
After a lot of trouble, several people had already turned into bloody men and fled here in a hurry.
After returning to the path we carved out in the wasteland, everyone calmed down a little.
I raised my feet and looked at the condition of the soles, secretly thinking I was lucky.
I saw that there were still a bunch of severed blood vessels on the thick soles of the boots. After the blood inside them was drained, they looked white and white. No teeth were visible, but half of the soles had been nailed through. The condition
It's like plastic that sticks together after being burned. It's a bit difficult to pull it off.
It is foreseeable that if we were not wearing boots with extremely thick soles, or if we discovered them later, these things would have definitely pierced the soles of our shoes and penetrated into our soles. God knows if we would have had any room to resist by then.
, the best result is that these feet must be useless.
Zhang Xinya was in shock, and kept checking herself, fearing that something would grow inexplicably somewhere on her skin, and then she kept looking around, and after confirming that there was no danger, doubts arose in her mind again, and she asked: "That's it?
"
Lao Bai gasped and said angrily: "Then what else do you want? Do we have to have all our brothers here to be sucked into mummies like that dead tiger?"
Zhang Xinya said: "That's not what I mean, I mean... we were attacked for no apparent reason there. When our feet were stuck to the ground, we couldn't move. If our lives were to be taken, at that time
It was the best time. I was even thinking at the time that there was a high probability that I would have to confess this time, but in the end nothing happened. Isn't it strange?"
This is indeed a problem.
I thought about it for a while, and then I made up my mind, and said: "Based on the current situation, there is only one possibility - that evil thing has no subjective consciousness at all, is ignorant, and does things completely based on instinct!"
Brother Yaozi asked me to explain in detail. I smiled and pointed to the front and said, "Let's talk while we walk. Don't stay in the same place for too long. I'm afraid 89% of the reason why we were tricked before was because we visited before.
I was so busy studying the seven-beam crown that none of them realized it and stood motionless for a long time."
"This inference is actually very simple. When Lao Shen talked about the evil thing before, he only mentioned that it must be alive. He also said that when Xing Wei came here, the thing showed some joyful emotions.
Living, there are some simple emotions.
It seems that most animals behave this way, right? This does not mean that they have high intelligence.
Xinya just hit the point. If it had high intelligence, it should have attacked us just now, but it didn't. This is enough to explain the problem.
I think this is probably something similar to a beast. It just relies on instinct to eat. It can't even tell what is alive and what is dead. As long as it is a flesh and blood body that stays in place, it will almost always be recognized.
Because it is food, the tubes spread out from the ground to absorb nutrients!
It can also be seen from this that although this thing likes Xing Wei, the compatibility between the two is not high. If Xing Wei can completely control it, the danger we just encountered may be fatal."
"..."
Although we kept chatting with each other, the movements of our hands never stopped for a moment, and we kept taking turns to open up paths in the grassland.
We were already very close to the woods. Not long after, we got out of the grassland and arrived at the edge of the woods.
What lies before us is an open space about three or four meters wide like an isolation belt, with grass on one side and dense forest on the other.
There was no grass growing in the open space, and it was covered with black mud, with a finger-thick layer of green algae floating on it, and a strong fishy smell filled the air.
The forest is dark and deep, filled with towering ancient trees. Their canopies cover the sky and the sun, and their branches and vines almost hang down less than one or two meters above the ground. The dark wind is howling, and the vines and branches are swaying, making a "rustling" sound.
There is a dank mist sweeping away, and the environment is extremely complicated. You can't see too far with a flashlight.
Lao Bai poked at the mud filled with green algae and said with a smile: "It's not deep."
Brother Yaozi looked at his watch, turned to me and said, "It's almost six o'clock, what should we do next? Logically speaking, it's already sunset outside. Is it possible that the window period mentioned by Lao Shen has already arrived, and we didn't notice it?
Arrive? Or is it because of external factors like Xing Wei that the so-called window period will not appear and we have to force it? Make a decision quickly, it will be dark if you wait any longer. We will definitely miss it by then. This place cannot
Set up camp..."
I looked up at the woods for a moment, then shook my head and said, "Wait a little longer, it will get dark soon. At worst, we can retreat and go back to the place where we camped yesterday. We will treat it as if we are here to explore the road today, so we should proceed slowly."
When Brother Yaozi saw this, he stopped talking.
After waiting for a while, it was just after six o'clock in the evening, and the wind noise around me became obviously weaker.
The wind here is not normal wind, it is all dark wind.
The Yin wind has weakened, which means... the Yin energy should have weakened!!
It's a very strange scene. It's six o'clock in the evening, which is the You hour. This is one of the most severe times when the Yang energy in the world declines. But here, the Yin energy is declining, which is completely different from the outside world.
However, what is certain is that the decline of Yin Qi is good for us and bad for the evil thing.
"The window period is here!"
I raised my wrist, and with a "clang" sound, the Tianguan Blade was awakened.
Holding a flashlight in one hand and a Baipi knife in the other, I crossed the mud covered with green algae without hesitation and strode into the woods.
My eyes suddenly dimmed, the change in light was very obvious, and the sound of the wind was much quieter than before.
It's hard to understand that this sudden change actually occurred in two places less than five meters apart, as if they were two completely different worlds.
The sudden change in the environment made the few people who followed me in suddenly become nervous. The tacit understanding formed by years of cooperation prompted several people to immediately approach each other, form a circle, and stand back to back to guard the surroundings.
No danger arises.
The wind here is indeed much lighter than outside. Apart from being a bit cold, the wind blowing on people is almost like a breeze blowing on the face.
The surge of air made the towering ancient trees make a rustling sound, but this sound was occasionally mixed with crisp collision sounds.
Click, click, click...
The crisp collision sound is like an old monk knocking wooden fish mechanically, but there is actually some rhythm in it.
After briefly observing the surroundings, Zhang Xinya, who was leaning on my back, suddenly raised her head and shined the flashlight upward. I clearly felt that at this moment, her body trembled and became stiff, and even her breathing became rapid.
