Chapter 64 The Trap in the Miasma

Along the mountain road, the group crossed the normal foothills and climbed to the hillside.

The so-called ignorance of Mount Lu is because he is in this mountain, and now he has experienced it.

From the outside, this mountain peak is completely different from the feeling of actually entering it. Since entering the mysterious miasma area created by the demon, Lu Jiu only felt that he had entered another world.

Even the warm afternoon sunlight cannot penetrate the miasma. The bright jungle seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil. Looking around, the eyes were filled with mysterious shadows reflected by the bushes soaked in it. Coupled with the sudden dim light, everyone in the forest felt heavy pressure.

Lu Jiu walked in the center of the team with three oxygen cylinders on his back. It was not that the demon hunting team wanted to protect him, but that he could remind everyone in the Qinglan demon hunting team who were marching around him as soon as possible after hearing the abnormal noise, so as to facilitate subsequent responses.

At this time, Lu Jiu finally understood why the demon hunting team had to wait for a demon vein to join before starting to act.

Since the visual distance is compressed to a range of five meters around, the team can ensure that they go in the direction of the guild rather than circle in circles. It is almost due to Zhou Chaolin's familiarity with the mountain. The problem is that this personal intuition obviously cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

Therefore, Geqiu at the back of the team had to keep leaving clear arrow marks on conspicuous parts of the tree trunk along the way, which was to ensure that unexpected situations would really happen later, and the demon hunting team would not get lost when they had to evacuate.

In this state, Lu Jiu's hearing became the only tool for Qinglan Demon Hunting Team to determine the direction of the monster.

Bang ~

A dull sound came from the fog, and the few people from the demon hunting team heard it, but because the sound was slight, it was difficult to distinguish the direction, so they turned their eyes to Lu Jiu in the middle.

Lu Jiu did not disappoint them.

"Come with me."

The time it takes for the oxygen cylinder to last is limited, and Lu Jiu did not intend to continue to mix up, and jogged directly in the direction where the sound came.

During the running process, Lu Jiu deliberately slowed down his speed in order to keep everyone in the demon hunting team behind him up without falling behind.

After running out about seventy or eighty meters, Lu Jiu stopped and looked at the people behind him. Through the previous mountain climbing and the running of this short distance, the physical state of the demon hunting team was clear at a glance.

Xiao Qing, the youngest in the team, has the worst physical strength and is now gasping for breath. Du Qi and Cheng Qing are at the same level, sweating on his forehead but his breath is still quite symmetrical. The remaining Zhou Chaolin and Ge Qiu are similar to Lu Jiu, and have not been affected.

"A dead tree fell down here, it must be an accident."

After a judgment in his mind, Lu Jiu took a step and pointed to a tree as thick as a bowl that collapsed on the ground. The sound he heard just now was the sound that made when the tree collided with the ground when it collapsed.

The eyes fell on the broken wood on the ground, and the highly nervous demon hunting team members barely breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Lu is capable of defending his position by listening to the voice. He can still lock in such an accurate position at such a long distance."

Perhaps in order to boost morale, Zhou Chaolin, who was carrying a long knife, took the initiative to praise him.

"The forest is very quiet, so the sound is easier to judge. Let's continue to look for it. This place looks sneaky."

“I also feel something is wrong.”

Ge Qiu, who was standing beside Zhou Chaolin, pointed sideways towards the direction of the group's arrival, and continued.

"As we come over, don't you find that the forest is too quiet? Not to mention the sound of birds and beasts, there is not even the sound of wind. Let's go from the bottom of the mountain to here..."

Bang!

Some of it looks like the sudden burst of a balloon when it bursts.

Before everyone could react, Ge Qiu, who was talking in front of him, suddenly fell down and burst into tears of pain.

"Ah! My arm, what the hell is this?"

The sudden severe pain made Ge Qiu kneel helplessly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his right arm drooped beside him, and his joints were tilted in a strange posture, which was clearly broken!

"Where is the enemy?"

Zhou Chaolin, who was closest to Geqiu, subconsciously crouched to check the former's arm condition, while the rest stood around in a fan shape.

He looked around blankly, but he didn't know where the gun in his hand should be aimed.

The jungle filled with miasma was so quiet that it was so quiet that the shadows everywhere looked even more terrifying at this moment, as if a monster suddenly rushed out in the next second.

Lu Jiu, who was beside him, was also surprised at this time.

You should know that Ge Qiu is only two meters away from him, and he can hear clearly even if a fly flies by this range. However, when Ge Qiu was attacked, Lu Jiu did not hear any abnormal noise coming from around him!

Where is the enemy?

Lu Jiu frowned and looked around looking for suspicious things.

Bang!

Another dull sound.

This time, Xiao Qing, who was at the end of the team, almost vomited blood and fell down while the sound was heard, and there was a significant collapse in his chest.

At this moment, the miasma surging a few meters away from Cheng Qing attracted Lu Jiu's attention, and he pulled the gun without hesitation.

With a distance of less than five meters, even Lu Jiu, a novice, had a certain hit rate. The moment the bullet passed, there were two muffled sounds that appeared one after another.

But this time no one was injured, and replaced by the sudden scattered grass leaves and a bowl-sized pit that appeared on the ground!

Lu Jiu stared at the pit for two seconds, then walked to Ge Qiu's side and squatted down, pulled out the short knife from his waist and cut the clothes directly at the joints. When he saw that the wound on his arm was obviously caused by the collision, he showed a little suddenness on his face. He looked up at the people next to him and said,

"Pay attention to the miasma around you. If there is any abnormal movement in any location, don't hesitate and shoot directly!"

"Brother Lu, what's going on?"

Zhou Chaolin noticed Lu Jiu's solemn expression and asked.

"There may be some kind of thing around us... You can think of it as a transparent bomb, and it is probably the extraordinary ability that appeared after the ghost's mutation. I don't know what the situation is, but once this kind of thing is collided, it will explode immediately."

Putting down Ge Qiu's arm, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Jiu is still a little numb now. If he had been caught just now, he would probably not be able to react.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots continued to sound, mostly empty guns, but several shots triggered the "transparent grenade" again, causing a small-scale explosion, which made everyone more nervous.

Although no one was injured again, it is undeniable that this behavior consumed their oxygen reserves.
