Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three: Avoiding Traps(1/2)
When he came outside, he first noticed that the heavy rain had stopped completely. The sky was still terrifyingly dark, and the surrounding environment was still as dim as when it rained before. Even so, he didn't have time to observe the weather at the moment.
, plus the female locust in the house may resume action at any time, as expected
, after raising his head and scanning the sky, he confirmed that the heavy rain had stopped. How could Yao Fujiang dare to neglect? He clenched his teeth and ran in a hurry, staggering like a bereaved dog to the opposite side, stepping on the water under his feet and ran towards the woods on the left, toward a certain
Try to move in one direction, and that direction is exactly northwest of Yinshan Mountain.
Undoubtedly, Chen Xiaoyao's answer at the beginning of entering the mountain tells us that the executors all know what is in the northwest. In addition to having to rush there as soon as possible, if they want to join other teammates, then there is no doubt that the northwest is the best choice.
After all, everyone's goal is there, and everyone's end point is also here.
Judge’s Temple, no matter what, you have to arrive at Judge’s Temple. Only when you get there can you join your teammates, and only there can you get important things to save He Fei!
As Yao Fujiang kept moving forward and back and forth, soon the young man's figure disappeared into the woods.
………
Wow.
He glanced at the fast-burning Dao Talisman in his hand, raised his head again, and saw three lonely souls suddenly appearing in front of him, flying in all directions on the spot, as if they were swept by a hurricane, and were flown into the distance in the blink of an eye.
After confirming that the beasts had been expelled from the missing place, Chen Xiaoyao first patted the ashes left after burning the Dao Talisman in his hand, then turned to Zhao Ping beside him and nodded while whispering: "Okay, let's deal with another wave.
Just keep moving forward."
Yes, since the rain stopped half an hour ago, Chen and Zhao left the cave earlier and continued to move northwest towards Yinshan Mountain. However, their encounters along the way were not as smooth as when they first entered the mountain.
On the road, the two of them frequently encountered locusts and wandering ghosts, varying in number.
As for Zu, there were either a single one or a small group of five or six. Even 10 minutes ago, they had discovered a sea of swarms composed of hundreds of lonely souls from a distance. Faced with such a number, the two of them did not dare to neglect.
, quickly turned around and hid in the grass until the swarm of hawks quietly disappeared.
As mentioned above, since these wandering nymphs are all spiritual beings, they do not make a sound while floating. In addition, the light is too dark on cloudy days and their vision is unclear. Although the two of them were careful and tried their best to avoid the large swarm of nymphs along the way, due to the environment,
Due to the darkness and the complex terrain of the mountain forest, no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably encounter some lonely wild nymphs.
Once they encounter a situation where there is no way to hide, the two of them have no choice but to use Tao talismans to expel the lonely souls. If the number is small, one or two Tao talismans can drive them away, but once the number reaches ten,
If there are more than ten alive, the number of talismans consumed will also increase sharply.
"Okay, let's deal with another wave, let's continue moving forward."
After getting a signal from Chen Xiaoyao beside him, Zhao Ping nodded coldly, and then continued walking on the muddy mountain road one after another as before, moving in a certain direction.
but……
During the march, Zhao Ping's face became increasingly ugly!
The reason? The reason is extremely simple. The reason is that there are now less than 10 Taoist talismans in his arms, and there are not many left. It is conceivable that he does not have many left, and the remaining Taoist talismans of Chen Xiaoyao are estimated to be as many as
I'm not much different.
In fact, Zhao Ping was always worried and worried about something along the way. At first, he was optimistic that if everything went smoothly, he would arrive at the Judge's Temple at noon and leave in the afternoon. However, things are unpredictable.
Stepping into the hinterland of Yinshan Mountain, I didn't expect that the encounters in the mountain would be so twists and turns.
Not to mention that Yao Fujiang, who was regarded as a waste in his own eyes, was separated and disappeared. At this moment, it was already 14:20 in the afternoon, but they still didn't even see the shadow of the Judge's Temple. If only time delayed him
Not too worried, the main reasons that really caused him to be uneasy can be roughly divided into two points.
First, he was very worried about whether he and Chen Xiaoyao could reach the Magistrate's Temple before all the Taoist talismans they brought were exhausted. This was a question worth considering, and it was also an uncertain question and an unknown probability. What if there were a few more waves on the way?
If you are a lonely soul, then the Taoist talismans will undoubtedly be consumed in advance.
Light, once the Taoist talismans are used up in advance, if they continue to encounter worms, the two of them will have no choice but to run away. There is no other way but to escape. After all, those are worms, and they are real wild worms in the mountains. Even one alone can do it.
Easily kill ordinary humans.
The second point comes from the environment.
Yes, the environment, the environment has become his biggest worry at the moment. To put it simply, it is darkness and the infinite fear of darkness. Yes, if he does not arrive at the Judge's Temple as soon as possible and leave quickly, once it gets dark... I guess even a fool can do it.
He guessed that things were going to be very bad. After all, there were so many lonely wild hawks wandering in the mountains during the day. What would happen after dark?
The more I think about it, the more afraid I become, and the more afraid I become, the less firm my mind becomes.
Zhao Ping understood this, so the man with glasses did not dare to think about it any more. He gritted his teeth, forced down his worries, and continued to move forward without saying a word. He followed Chen Xiaoyao and continued to walk forward cautiously. The walking process was early.
The previous decision was more and more impactful in his mind. When the pressure was ineffective, it reminded his brain frequently, reminding him not to forget the plan he had made when he was in the cave earlier. That is, once the Taoist talismans were used up and he still did not arrive at the Judge's Temple, he would immediately
Turn back and evacuate Yinshan Mountain.
Can……
Just as the bespectacled man behind him was thinking complicatedly and thinking about the problem, for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped!
The matter was not over yet. As soon as he stopped moving and was stunned for two seconds, the young Taoist priest moved. Without saying a word, he jumped onto the roadside and finally bent down and hid behind a rock.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping couldn't help but be frightened. He didn't care to ask the reason and hurriedly followed him and hid on the roadside.
For a moment, the two of them suddenly avoided and hid inexplicably when there was nothing around them, hiding like two rats that smelled danger.
Time passes minute by minute.
Except for the occasional mountain wind, there was nothing unusual around as far as the eye could see.
This is said to be true, and so is the reality. As the two of them chose to hide, Zhao Ping thought at first that there was a lonely soul passing by like before, so he had to hide. Unexpectedly, a minute passed and there was still no abnormality nearby, neither as expected.
There were no unexpected dangers on the path of the swarm, and the surrounding environment still seemed safe. Only Chen Xiaoyao remained silent and frowned, curling up and hiding from the beginning to the end, occasionally looking at the road ahead. Huh?
Finally, after a long time, and after waiting for a long time, Chen Xiaoyao did not see any movement beside him. Zhao Ping became more and more surprised, but surprise was all that happened. In reality, the man with glasses did not say a word, but just moved forward a few steps, and then learned
Like Chen Xiaoyao, he secretly raised his head slightly and looked forward with the help of rock cover.
There is nothing on the mountain road ahead. The "no" here refers to dangers and bugs. Nothing, nothing. Except for the spreading weeds and vegetation, as far as the eye can see, the entire mountain road is no different from other places.
There is no difference.
However, if you observe carefully, if you open your eyes wide and look around, you will find something...
Although the distance was far away, after staring for a moment, my field of vision gradually discovered that there was something in the grass in front of me. Judging from the shape, it seemed that it was a person.
There is a person lying in the grass!
He stared again with wide eyes. Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, he could still tell his identity from the obvious color of his clothes and short hair.
Yao Fujiang!
It was Yao Fujiang who had been missing for a long time!
Yes, Yao Fujiang is currently lying motionless on the ground, lying on the mountain road dozens of meters away, not knowing whether he is alive or dead. Seeing this, Zhao Ping frowned and subconsciously turned his eyes to Chen Xiaoyao beside him. As he looked over, he saw
The expression of the young Taoist priest at this moment
He was actually more dignified and serious than Zhao Ping. There was no reason, no reason, or Chen Xiaoyao acted abnormally when he clearly found his teammates. He did not rush forward as expected, but immediately shrank and hid far away.
Observe.
Faced with such a strange situation, Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly. As for Chen Xiaoyao...
The young man first used the rock cover to observe the situation ahead for a while, until he found nothing more. Then, Chen Xiaoyao made a move, reached into his arms, first took out a small bottle containing red liquid, and then took out a piece of silver.
Pick up the silver leaves, unscrew the mouth of the bottle, dip the silver leaves into the red liquid, and finally apply the red silver leaves on the eyelids of both eyes.
After finishing all the above, in silence, Chen Xiaoyao handed the silver leaf to Zhao Ping beside him, and with a look in his eyes, Zhao Ping understood, and then he followed the other person's example and dabbed his eyelids with the silver leaf.
Soon, both of them wiped their eyelids and took back the objects. Without any reminder, the two of them looked up again and looked ahead, but...
This time, or when I looked ahead and observed the road for the second time, the picture changed, the scene changed.
As far as his eyes could see, he saw something like Yao Fujiang right in front of him? It was clearly a dead man, a skeleton, a human skeleton that had been dead for who knows how many years!
However, even so, this is still not the most horrifying thing. In addition to the pile of bones in the grass, there are other things around the bones, something that can never be seen with the naked eye alone...
There are four 'people' floating near the skeleton. Four 'people' with faces as white as paper are floating motionless around the skeleton!
Four white-faced people are distributed in the surrounding directions with the skeleton as the center. The almost frozen senior is currently floating in the air, seemingly waiting, silently waiting for something.
Earlier, Chen Xiaoyao had explained how to distinguish between a cymbal and a lone soul. The distinction is very simple, just look at the appearance. Yes, strictly speaking, the best way to distinguish between a cymbal and a lone soul is their appearance.
That is to say, the face of the wolf monster will be much whiter than that of the lonely soul. After recalling this point, he saw the four "people" in front of him with faces as white as paper. In an instant, Zhao Ping's expression changed drastically.
Unexpectedly, there were actually four tadpoles gathering in front!!!
While trembling, the man understood, understood, he figured everything out, understood everything, understood what all this was about.
It turns out that the four 'people' floating in the air in front of us are actually four tiger monsters!!!
After wiping their eyes with blood-stained silver leaves, at this moment, behind the rock, whether it was Chen Xiaoyao or Zhao Ping, they immediately understood what was going on. In shock, they instinctively looked at each other and nodded.
They immediately began to retreat, bending their bodies like frightened rats and slowly retreating, retreating further and further away, and finally fled around the road silently.
Who is Zhao Ping? Who is Chen Xiaoyao?
There is no denying that there are big differences between the two, but there is one thing that both sides have in common, that is... neither of them are stupid, and both are rare smart people in the world.
Communication between smart people is often extremely simple. Sometimes, they can quickly understand and think through just observation, and then react quickly without saying anything.
Yes, according to their guess, there is a trap ahead, a fatal trap, and that trap is precisely prepared for them.
It was obvious that through some means, the four demons not only learned about the existence of their group, but also knew that one of them was missing and had not returned. Of course, knowing that they knew that they might not be able to find a few people in the huge mountain due to their limited ability.
, so these cunning beauties designed a trap, a trap carefully constructed using the consciousness of human companions. They first disguised a corpse in the mountains that had been dead for an unknown number of years.
To be continued...
