"Okay, don't ask these irrelevant things anymore. Everyone clean up and prepare to leave quickly." When Mr. Mai saw that the scene was a bit rigid, he quickly stepped forward to rescue him.
But I was puzzled. Several of us were questioning Changshan, but only Mai Lao said nothing. Don’t he want to know Changshan’s life experience? Or... he already has some understanding of Changshan? These things that seem very ordinary on the surface, but after closer inspection, there are indeed many problems.
But now is not the time to investigate. We are still in danger. Everything has to be out of danger before we talk about it. I know very well that since we have picked things up today, we must be prepared for the future. The trust we have just established will be greatly reduced.
"Martin, Martin, wake up..." Jenny was still calling out to Martin. Unfortunately, Martin was like a dead man, lying on the ground without moving. The only evidence that he was still alive at the moment was that he was still breathing, proving that he had a breath.
"Old Mai, when will he wake up? He won't die like that, right?" Jenny raised her head and looked at Old Mai with tears in her eyes and asked.
Mr. Mai did not answer him, but turned to look at Jiao Bayi because he couldn't answer at all. Only Jiao Ba and Chang Shan could answer this matter. Martin seemed to have recovered on the surface, but it still felt something was wrong.
"Don't worry, he can't die, but now it's the recovery period, and his soul has not yet returned to his position. Don't rush to wake him up. If he wakes him up too early, he will become a madman." Jiao Ba said impatiently.
"Become a madman? This..." Jenny asked without understanding.
"The evil spirit occupied his body before, and his soul would inevitably suffer a certain amount of damage. Now the evil spirit has left, but his soul needs to be restored. If the soul is not restored and returned to its position, then he will become crazy, like a fool." Jiao Ba explained casually.
"So that's the case, then how can we go now? You can't throw Martin here, right?" Jenny looked down at Martin again, but this time when she looked at Martin, I discovered it accidentally again. She usually had a selfless affection for Martin, but this time, I saw a strange look, and disappeared in just a moment.
"Old Mai, what do you think you should do?" Jiao Ba asked him. At this critical moment, he had to count on him to make an idea.
Old Mai looked at everyone, then looked at Martin in a coma, and finally sighed helplessly, "Wait a minute, he can't carry him with him."
We stood around Martin, forming a small circle, while guarding him, and also damaging the surrounding environment, especially the white snow soldiers. I always feel that they are staring at us, and Changshan's words have been circling in my mind. They may really be resurrected, but it's not time yet. It may not be a coincidence that Martin was suddenly possessed, but it may be just a fuse for everything.
In fact, we wanted to leave immediately, but Martin was still in a coma. With Martin's big body, no one could carry him except the big man. Moreover, each of us was exhausted. Even if two people helped him up, it would be very difficult.
Martin can really cause trouble at a critical moment. Jiao Ba and Chang Shan were injured in all their left palms for him. Even if the knife edge was not deep, it would be a knife injury. In this environment, it can only increase their own burden. His own pain directly affects our entire team. Although Martin is not blamed for this matter, I have to admit that the words he said before when he was crazy are very likely... what he thought in his heart.
Li Xin is in poor health and needs someone to protect her. Jenny has a leg injury, so she needs someone to carry her. Lao Shui and Xiao Feng are in poor health and have no strength at all. She looks completely weak.
At present, my physical condition is still intact, only Mr. Mai and I are left. The troubles along the way have consumed a lot of physical strength, and there are wounds on my head. The power of the magic circle has caused me torture mentally. On the surface, I am intact, but in fact I am not much stronger than them, but there are no serious injuries that are too hard.
Our team is getting more and more difficult. The injured people account for more than half, and only Mr. Mai is the best. So far, he should have suffered no flaws. At most, he consumes some physical strength. This old guy is really amazing. It is not something that ordinary people can do when he is intact in this environment. It’s a pity that no matter how powerful he is, he cannot guarantee everyone’s conscience.
"Brother Yi, what's wrong with you? What's going on?" Jiao Ba asked softly when he saw me smiling alone.
I sighed and said, "It's really difficult for us to go. There are more and more wounded people. I don't know if we can leave this ghost place."
Jiao Ba said indifferently, "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. If you want to drive, it's no big deal."
"Old Ba, I'm a little puzzled, why is Martin possessed by evil, while the rest of us are fine?" I wanted to ask him about this just now, but I just didn't have time to speak.
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "I can't understand it either. Logically speaking, women are yin and their physiques are naturally the weakest. They must not be compared with men. Even if the evil spirit possesses them, they should start with Jenny and Li Xin first. But who knows that it has found Martin, which is really difficult to understand."
"The reason why Martin was possessed has a certain relationship with himself. The possession of evil spirits is not just possession and women. Although women are yin, this does not mean that women are parasites of evil spirits. Everyone has different physiques. Women are tough and men are weak. This is not only about appearance, but also about heart. I can understand that there is only this." Chang Shan said in a low voice.
Jiao Ba sneered, "That's right, but... Brother Changshan, I actually understand what you said. Can you say something practical? Why was Martin possessed by evil spirits?"
"I said, I only know so much, I don't need to lie. I don't know, I just don't know." Chang Shan glanced at him and said impatiently.
"Is it to delay time?" I suddenly thought that Martin was possessed, maybe it was to delay time, but I couldn't say what the reason was, but I just felt that the clues were vague.
"If this is possible, it must be related to these snow soldiers." Chang Shan said, turned his head and looked at the soldiers on both sides.
"The snow demon must be the snow demon. The evil spirit possessed by Martin must be the soul of the snow demon. Haven't you noticed it? The white silk that had floated before was actually the dead souls. They floated around the snow soldiers and disappeared. Martin was possessed by the evil spirit, with the purpose of delaying time and preventing us from leaving here." Jiao Ba said in a terror with his eyes.
"So... since we entered here, the soul of the snow demon has been released by the wizard?" Chang Shan asked with a side face.
Jiao Ba narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, this is a barrier. The wizard can control our every move. It is very likely that this place will break the magic circle. But in order to stop us, the wizard released the soul of the snow demon. This ghost thing is even more terrifying than the ice demon."
"Well, this is probably their last line of defense. As long as we break through the snow demon level, we will probably reach the location of the coffin." Chang Shan nodded and said in agreement.
"If you really said this, the snow demon should be resurrected, but these snow soldiers didn't respond much." I asked hurriedly, feeling that Jiao Ba's words made sense, but why should we delay time?
"Snow demons are not humans. After their souls return to their positions, they will not wake up immediately like humans. They need to take a certain amount of time and use external forces to awaken them. This is awful. We have been delaying here for a long time and can't stay any longer. We have to leave quickly." Jiao Ba said, carrying his backpack and leaving.
Old Mai pressed his shoulder and said, "Wait, we're leaving, what should he do?" Old Mai tilted, obviously talking about Martin.
Jiao Ba stared at Mr. Mai and said a few seconds later, "Mr. Mai, don't say I'm ruthless. I've tried my best. I almost died in order to save Martin. The situation is very dangerous now. You can't let all of us take risks for him alone, right?"
"Then you can't throw him here. If that soldier is really a snow demon, we will throw him in it. Once the snow demon is resurrected, he will definitely die." Old Mai said in a pleading tone. Although it is not obvious, I still heard it.
I didn't expect Mr. Mai to be so passionate. Sometimes he hates Martin and even dislikes Martin. But at this critical moment of life and death, Mr. Mai is Mr. Mai and he will never leave anyone behind.
This reminds me of the scene when he saved me. Every time he faces danger, or even faces death, he is fearless. No matter how capable he is, if he doesn't want to save you, who can say what?
No matter what is hidden behind Mr. Mai, at least he is a qualified leader and will not leave his soldiers and run away alone. With this alone, I still admire him very much. Among us, he is the one who respects me the most and doubts me the most. This is really a very contradictory heart.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mai, everyone has their own destiny. There are only so many people I can help him. Brother Yi, let's go." Jiao Ba shook his head at me. It seemed that he had made up his mind this time.
