Chapter 206 The Desperate Traveler
Chapter 206: The Desperate Traveler
As soon as he heard the strange cry, Ding Er immediately became nervous. He flashed and blocked his master's arms, waving his arms, asking his master not to speak again for the time being.
Xuan Su was just intrigued when he saw Ding Er's expression suddenly changed, and his whole body of words choked back. He knew that this apprentice has always been steadfast and never joked in front of him. Since he had such a reaction, it was definitely a reason for it.
Since Ding Er's evil skills were completed, he has never feared anything. You should know that his skills are not something that anyone can practice. Many factors are indispensable, and the process of practice is extremely difficult. This amazing skill is practiced, let alone humans, even ordinary demons and evil spirits cannot get close to him. There is indeed nothing worth his fear in the world.
However, since seeing the Bone Demon, the master and the disciple really felt a sense of fear that had never appeared before. This monster is not only strange and bizarre, but also completely different from ordinary evil spirits. It is neither afraid of magic weapons nor skylight, and it is also extremely powerful. It also has rigorous moves when taking action. It is simply unpredictable and difficult to figure out. Apart from escaping, there is basically no other way to deal with it.
When he saw Ding Er becoming so nervous, Xuan Su thought of the Bone Demon at the first time. He quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard a strange cry coming from not far away, sad and sad, as if it was a young woman.
It was noon at this moment, and ordinary monsters could never be exposed to the sky light, and the dense forest was rarely visited. The master and disciple had never seen a stranger here. Could it be... it was the bone demon who caught up with him?
Thinking of this, the master and apprentice were both shocked and sweating. The strange cry made people feel chilling. If it was really caused by the bone demon, what does this mean? Anger? Sadness? Or playing and teasing after catching the prey?
The two stood there and waited for a long time, but the bone demon never appeared. I don’t know whether it was intentional or whether the other party really didn’t notice them.
Ding Er made up his mind and thought that things had come to this point, and I am afraid that they would not be able to escape. It is better to follow the sound and see what happened. Before you see the truth, don’t scare yourself suspiciously.
After thinking about it, he made a few gestures and told Xuansu that he wanted to go over and take a look, and let the master stay where he was waiting for him. If he found something abnormal, he would come back to pick him up and run away with him.
Xuan Su was unwilling to let him go over and take risks. How dangerous is that bone demon? If he was discovered, he would probably not even have a chance to escape.
But when he thought about it, he also vaguely felt something was strange. According to the nature of the bone demon they had just seen, if they saw that they were here, they would definitely pounce on them without saying anything. How could they make any woman cry to tease them? The area of this dense forest is so large that it is a bit unimaginable. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Is it possible that there are really other people in this jungle.
Therefore, he did not stop Ding Er and nodded in agreement. He knew that his legs and feet were not very flexible. If he followed Ding Er, he would probably be discovered by the other party if he couldn't take a few steps. At this critical moment of life and death, it would be better to be careful.
Ding Er took a deep breath and calmed down, then stood on tiptoe and moved forward slowly with a gentle step.
But before he could take a few steps, he suddenly heard a man talking from the crying position. The man's voice was very high and his emotions seemed to be excited. He only heard him shouting angrily: "Cry, cry, you two know how to cry. When is it now? If you don't think of a way to deal with this matter, what's the use of crying just? Can you still cry Lao Xu back?"
As soon as they heard this, the master and apprentice immediately breathed a long sigh. After a long time of trouble, it turned out that the other party was just a few ordinary people.
Judging from the man's words, it seemed that there were two women crying at the same time. Perhaps because the tones of the two were almost the same, the master and apprentice mistakenly thought that the sound was made by one person. It is precisely because of this that the cry sounded strange and abnormal, and people involuntarily thought of the demons and evil spirits.
After thinking about this section, the two smiled bitterly. Since they walked around the world, the master and the apprentice have never had such a panic, but now they are scared by the bone demon into a pair of frightened birds. Such an encounter was something that no one of their master and the apprentice had ever thought of.
Since they confirmed that the other party was not a monster, the two of them were naturally relieved. Then Xuan Su reached out and swung forward a few times, signaling the two of them to go over and take a look. A stranger suddenly appeared in this rare place. Although it was not his own business, they also made them quite curious.
At this time, a woman heard a sob and said, "My old Xu is a tough guy. You said... do you think he is not dead yet?"
The man replied angrily: "Don't keep talking nonsense? We can watch his stomach be torn open and even his intestines are pulled out. Can this person still survive?"
This sentence obviously pricked the woman's pain point. She heard her scream "ah" and then she started to cry again.
The man sighed and was about to say something, but suddenly he heard another woman speak: "Don't stimulate her anymore. Can she, a woman, stand such a big thing? You are still adding fuel to the fire. The more you say this, the more excited she will be. You don't understand this truth?"
Although this woman was crying when she spoke, her tone was very sharp, as if she was a very capable and powerful woman. The man was speechless for a while and then replied with dissatisfaction: "It's okay if she cries, you cry with her, which made me feel confused. I'm not aiming at Xiao Huang, but at you!"
The woman said angrily: "What's wrong with me crying? No matter what, Lao Xu and I have been colleagues for several years. Can I feel good when I watch him die? Why don't you talk about yourself? If you hadn't dug up the earth wall, what would be the place where the statue faced must have meaning. Could this happen?"
The woman named Huang cried harder when she saw the other two arguing, but she didn't forget to dissuade them, and sobbed loudly while crying: "Don't...don't...don't argue, okay?"
The man sighed, sat down to the ground with a 'pump', and murmured in extreme frustration: "What's wrong... What's wrong? What are we doing? Why do we encounter such a thing?"
At this time, Xuan Su and Ding Er had already bypassed a mound and looked in the direction of the sound. Looking through the dense bushes, I saw a small open space not far away, two women and one man were sitting there. A short-haired woman fell in the arms of another woman and covered her face and cried bitterly, while the man was sitting on the ground opposite them, holding her head with both hands and holding her hair tightly with both hands.
Ding Er thought that this might be a group of people who came here to play. For some reason, one of the four people died. These three people were upset and depressed here, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
He felt that it was not his business, so he was unwilling to stay here. So he pulled Xuansu's sleeve and signaled his master to leave here. It was getting late. If he didn't hurry, he would probably not be able to get out of this strange forest before dark.
However, Xuan Su waved his hand and whispered in Ding Er's ear: "Wizi, let's talk to these people over to talk to. I always think that they have seen the monster, maybe the other person died in the hands of the monster. And you heard what statue they just said and what hole they dug. I guess the hole we escaped was also dug out by these people."
Ding Er savored it carefully and indeed felt that what the master said was reasonable. So the two of them used clean water to clean the blood stains on their faces, tidied up their clothes, then walked forward and walked out of the bushes.
The crying woman saw the two of them first. She seemed to be unprepared for meeting outsiders. Coupled with the previous excessive fright, her already fragile spirit became even more vulnerable. The moment she saw Master Xuansu's disciple, she was stunned at first, then let out a harsh scream, and her eyes rolled, and she fainted.
The other two were also shocked by the sudden change. When they turned around, they found two strange monsters coming from the woods, especially the black-faced man standing behind the old man. His whole face was black and purple. No matter how he looked, he looked like a living dead person. The man and the woman also exclaimed, jumped up from the ground with a terrified expression, and he was about to turn around and escape.
Xuan Su pretended to be imaginative, pretending to be a fairy-like look, shook his hand with a smile and advised: "You two don't have to be afraid, we are just people passing by. I wanted to ask you for a drink, but I didn't expect it to scare you a few. Sorry, sorry, then let our master and apprentice leave now."
The man and the woman heard Xuan Su speak, and then they believed that it was not a ghost standing in front of them. Then they looked at each other, and their expressions were filled with joy. Then they shouted excitedly: "It's a human! It's a human! Finally I saw it!" As they spoke, their eyes became rosy.
The reactions of these two people were long as Xuan Su expected. Just one person died, and they paniced. It can be seen that these people were all weak people who had never seen any scenes. Now that they have a companion killed and are trapped in this dense forest, how could they not ask for help when they see outsiders coming?
Then, the master and apprentice "stayed" at the request of the two. After introducing each other, Master and apprentice Xuan Su learned that these three were researchers from an archaeological institute. This time they came here not to be a public business, but to visit here in the name of archaeology.
