Chapter 136: Ambush
Lu Zhuyu walked to the mark and looked around, and soon found a second more hidden mark. This was the special code of Zhuxiansi, which was the backup plan to prevent the mark he left behind by the enemy from being modified.
Two marks are one in the light and the other in the dark. Only when both are correct can it prove that this mark has not been tampered with.
"It's indeed Awen's mark. If you have time to leave it, it seems that he has escaped the pursuit." Lu Zhuyu said.
Footsteps came from behind, and Xiao Wu followed Lu Zhuyu's marks all the way up. When he saw the marks left by Awen on the stone wall, he said excitedly: "I knew that kid would not fall so easily!"
"Stay moving forward, it should be right in front of you." Lu Zhuyu said.
Following Awen's intermittent signs, the team advanced all the way, and finally left the cave and came to an open quarry, where there were traces of human labor, and crane-mouth picks and dustpans were placed randomly on the ground, as well as wheelbarrows used to transport stones.
"It seems that there is human life in this other world."
"It's not a group of heart-wrenching ghosts, are they?"
"If this ghost place is full of heart-sucking ghosts, then do we think we have fallen into the other party's nest?"
Some team members played irrelevant jokes, scattered around in a well-trained manner, checking the situation on the scene.
Soon, someone noticed something strange, and only one person shouted, and then a human-shaped creature was dragged out from the corner.
The humanoid creature did not dare to resist, covered her head with her hands, and made a "ahhh" sound with different syllables in her mouth. She was driven to the open space of the quarry by Xiaowu and others. Su Lin followed her around and observed the strange creature with the others.
This creature was unkempt and bony, with no strands on its body, and had no nails cut. It was covered with scars left by whipping. Although it had been tortured to the point of being human, Su Lin could still see that this was a person.
"He doesn't seem to understand our words." Luo Huainan said.
"He doesn't seem to be able to speak."
"It's not like the heart-eating ghost. Could it be that the heart-eating ghost raises the person used to pick stones?"
Just as everyone was watching the savage, a strange and ethereal voice suddenly rang around. Almost the moment the sound sounded, Su Lin's body sank, and the knife in his hand and the clothes on his body suddenly sank several times!
Luo Huainan, who had the worst physical fitness, was directly pressed by this invisible pressure and kneeled down on both knees!
Su Lin pulled Luo Huainan up and dragged his heavy steps to the back of a huge rock. The others in Zhuxianshi also responded quickly and found the cover as soon as possible.
Then a sharp whistle sounded from the east. After hearing the whistle, the savage ran towards the direction where the sound came without looking back.
"Damn it, I've been trapped!"
"How could it be? It was obviously followed by Awen's mark, so was Awen also arrested!"
"Damn it, what's the thing that ambushed us? Could it be a heart-eating ghost?"
Everyone argued in a slight manner, and the people leaning against the edge of the bunker carefully looked out, searching for the figures of the enemy within a limited safety range.
"Damn it! You can't see anything!" The scout retracted his head and cursed in a low voice.
Su Lin squatted on the ground with his back bowed, his brain circulating rapidly. He accidentally raised his head and met the Tianzun who was standing beside Youran, and both of them were stunned.
"Or what if I can help you see?" Tianzun asked tentatively.
Su Lin was stunned for a moment and asked additionally: "It's better to find another safe escape route!"
Tianzun nodded and ran to the height of the quarry.
Su Lin switched the perspective to the perspective angle, and saw the scattered material lines around him pointing vertically to the ground.
Countless lines of matter are connected to each of them, pulling down their bodies along the direction of gravity, which is why their bodies and clothes become heavy.
However, Su Lin found that his left hand was not entangled by those strange material lines. Although the material lines floating in the air kept on his left hand, he wanted to pull his left hand to the ground.
But once those threads touch their left arm, they are like being ignited, stained with orange light, and decomposed into thinner and weaker lines.
"Everyone has been affected, it should be because of the magic circle." He heard Lu Zhuyu's voice coming from behind another huge rock.
"The Heavenly Lord has already checked around and should be able to find the enemy's place soon. Let's wait for a while." Su Lin said in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, the people of Zhuxiansi, who had just become quarrels, suddenly became quiet and the air fell into silence.
"What's wrong?" Su Lin waited for a while, and found that no one was still talking, so he asked worriedly.
"You said... Tianzun went to find someone for us?" Lu Zhuyu's voice was full of self-doubt, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard just now.
Su Lin instantly guessed what the other party was thinking, so he added: "The Heavenly Lord is actually very approachable, and she will also help with some simple little things."
"Oh, so that's it... Tianzun, it's very approachable. That's great."
Although I couldn't see Lu Zhuyu's expression, Su Lin could hear that the other party had not recovered yet.
Then Xiao Wu's voice came from another direction: "Tianzun... Well, I'll take the liberty to ask, what else can Tianzun do besides helping find people? Can you help us kill those heart-wrenching ghosts?"
"You can imagine the Heavenly Lord as an ordinary person, but you can't see her. The Heavenly Lord is not very good at fighting because this is just an incarnation of her very weak. She can only answer my questions and help me do some insignificant things." Su Lin explained.
"What does the incarnation of the Heavenly Lord look like?" Another team member's voice sounded.
"I also want to ask if the Heavenly Lord is a man or a woman?"
"Wait! Will this kind of question really anger the Heavenly Lord?"
Everyone's attention suddenly shifted from being ambushed to the Heavenly Lord. It seemed that with the support of the Heavenly Lord, the current situation was no longer worthy of their attention.
At this time, Su Lin saw the Heavenly Lord running back from a distance. She ran back and forth, her clothes were soaked in sweat, and her face was sweating like rain.
She sat down beside Su Lin, pointed to three directions, and said in angrily: "There are ten people in total, and they have begun to surround them, three on each side, and four in this direction.
I have roughly figured out the effect of this magic circle. The faster the position moves, the stronger the gravity the body and the items on the body will bear.
So, you can't escape from running. I'm running back and forth so much, and I feel like my legs are almost broken."
"So, now not only can't run, but you can't even punch the knife too fast, otherwise your arms and knife will become very heavy." Su Lin said.
"I'll help you run back and forth, don't you even say 'Thank you for your hard work'?" Tianzun lifted up his wet hair, turned his head behind his ears, looked at Su Lin with his delicate and tired posture, as if he was deliberately arousing the man's desire to protect himself.
Su Lin was stunned: "Do you still say such things to you? I thought you wouldn't care about this kind of red tape."
The Heavenly Lord put on an expression of indifference: "This is probably the fate of God, and he doesn't even have the qualification to be regarded as a human."
Su Lin was a little confused. He couldn't tell whether Tianzun was joking or was mentally confused.
