Encountered an attack, the difference in strength was highlighted, and each person's personality was revealed. Corpse Monkey. Check the situation,
"It's okay." Kong Yuhui's expression remained unchanged, "Just keep walking, it's just a corpse monkey."
Ouyang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other people.
"Don't worry, corpse monkeys have territorial boundaries. The territory of a corpse monkey is usually dozens of miles in radius. That corpse monkey will not come back after being injured by Senior Brother Kong."
"That means we won't meet again for a while?" Shi Lei, the brother of the Shi family, asked in a low voice.
"Probably, but we still need to be more vigilant." Ouyang Qing nodded.
While they were talking, Lin Xin looked around the cemetery. It was indeed as stated in the mission information. It was desolate and lifeless, and even the sounds of insects were rarely heard.
Kong Yuhui took the lead, and the group walked around the cemetery and soon stopped in front of a red leaf forest.
He looked up at the large red leaves above.
"This is right here. The Yin Blood Bird should fall around the blood leaf tree. We need to make some preparations here."
According to the arrangement on the road, the remaining six people began to check whether there was any danger hidden nearby, and at the same time, they sprinkled the surrounding area with the powder issued by the mission to disperse the beasts.
Kong Yuhui stood under the blood forest, took out a small packet of dried insect powder from his waist bag, and sprinkled it in several easily visible locations directly under the mangrove forest.
After everything was done, everyone quickly stopped working and retreated in the direction they came from.
Back in the town, everyone was doing things as usual, resting and practicing, practicing.
Lin Xin also returned to the room by himself, crossed his legs and circulated his inner energy.
After practicing for a while, he just finished one cycle. He felt a little urgent to urinate, so he got up and went out, looking for the nearby latrines. He had already figured out the terrain here before, and there were dedicated male and female latrines here, although it was a long time ago.
There's almost no odor inside, it's very dry, but it's still usable.
The sun is shining brightly, even a little dazzling.
After walking through the corridor, Lin Xin had just entered the latrine when he vaguely heard someone talking on the partition wall not far away.
The voice seemed to be that of Shi Kun and Shi Lei, a brother of the Shi family.
With his heart moving slightly, Lin Xin quietly came over and leaned against the wall to listen.
"....You really think I can't kill him?" Shi Kun said in an angry voice.
"Don't forget our purpose this time." Shi Lei, who was more prudent, said lightly. "Keep your voice down."
"You little shit! That guy Kong Yuhui, do you really think I didn't see him at four o'clock last night?" Shi Kun said extremely unhappy, "If you want to swallow that thing for yourself, it depends on whether he has the ability...!"
"That's enough! Keep your voice down!" Shi Lei's voice became stern.
The voices of the two people suddenly became much quieter.
Lin Xin remembered that the other side of the wall happened to be where the Shi brothers lived, and felt a little confused. He changed to a hidden position and continued to eavesdrop.
There was a rustling voice over there, and I didn't know what they were doing. The two brothers seemed to have kept their voices low on purpose.
After more than ten minutes, the sound gradually returned to normal.
"...How is he? Let's... go back at four o'clock... and work together..." The voice became farther and farther away, as if the two brothers were gradually walking away.
Lin Xin squatted in a corner of the wall, huddled in the grass. He gradually couldn't hear any sound, and then he was about to get up.
Suddenly he felt someone touch his back.
"who!"
He looked back, and there was nothing behind him. The sun was shining brightly through the grass. There was just some weird silence. There were no insects in the grass.
Looking back, he stood up and held the hilt of the sword. For some reason, he always felt as if someone was staring at him from behind.
"Maybe leaves and branches?" he guessed.
The voices of the Shi brothers have completely disappeared, and there is only a slight sound of wind around them.
Lin Xin felt a little numb on his scalp. He quickly looked around and slowly left the grass and walked towards his residence.
On the way back to the corridor, I saw Ouyang Qing walking towards me.
She seemed to be stunned when she saw Lin Xin.
"Junior brother Lin."
"Sister Ouyang." Lin Xin responded politely.
"You are always vigilant..." Ouyang Qing's eyes fell on Lin Xin's hand that was holding the hilt of the sword, with a hint of appreciation on his face.
"I had to do this when I encountered an attack before." Lin Xinyan said concisely and concisely, "Now that I have met senior sister, it is just right. I want to ask you about the corpse monkey."
Ouyang Qing smiled.
"By the way, junior brother, you haven't been to the mission stone wall many times, so you probably don't know the Corpse Monkey very well."
She reached out and brushed the bangs from her forehead, and held down the veil that was fluttering in the wind with her index finger.
"We can't deal with corpse monkeys alone. A corpse monkey is equivalent to the second to third level of our Little Guiyuan Jue. If junior brother encounters it alone, it's best to stay put and shout for help and concentrate as much as possible.
Defend yourself well. After all, even Senior Brother Kong and I are no match for the Corpse Monkey."
"Is it so powerful?" Lin Xin was stunned. When he saw Kong Yuhui defeat the corpse monkey with his sword earlier, he thought that thing would not be a single opponent for Kong Yuhui and the others.
"That's right. Corpse monkeys come and go like the wind, and are highly poisonous, so they are very difficult to deal with. Anyway, junior brother, just be careful and don't leave alone." Ouyang Qing smiled, "I'll excuse you now."
"Okay." Lin Xin watched Ouyang Qing pass through him and walk towards the women's hut.
After a pause, he quickly returned to his room.
This time, everyone did not eat together, but separated their dry food. The carriage had all the dry food for everyone. When Lin Xin went to get it, no one else came. He used a bonfire to heat the clean water he brought.
Just ate it with dried meat and noodles.
The noodles and dried meat were very hard, and the taste was only slightly salty, and the water was a bit stuffy, but there was nothing we could do about it.
Moreover, there is no river nearby, and no one dares to draw water from the only deep well.
After eating, when he went back to his room, he vaguely heard laughter coming from Jiang Yue'er and Cheng Ruofei's rooms not far away.
"In such a tense and weird place, you are still in the mood to laugh." Lin Xin shook his head, ignored them, and went back to his room to continue resting.
Before I knew it, it was night again.
Around four o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Xin, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and slowly sat up in the darkness.
He walked to the window and looked at the moon outside, which was right in the middle of the sky. There was a corona carved on a rockery in the middle of the yard. When the moonlight fell, the shadow of the corona's pointer fell exactly between three o'clock and four o'clock.
It's very close to four o'clock.
"Almost." Lin Xin kept remembering what the Shi brothers said during the day, and made up his mind to get up and take a look at it at night. This place was really weird. He always felt that the people in the team had their own concerns, and he was very worried, so he just took this opportunity.
Go check it out.
Standing by the window, he slowly hid himself in the shadows and quietly looked out at the yard outside the window.
The courtyard wall is high. If someone wants to go out, they will definitely choose the two courtyard gates at the front and back. Since they live closest to the main entrance, there is a high chance they will choose to go out from here.
As the time approached four o'clock, suddenly a dark shadow flashed. Lin Xin saw a shadow passing through the middle of the yard and ran out towards the gate.
He was about to go out when he suddenly saw two figures quietly following him out of the yard.
"Brothers from the Shi family?" He narrowed his eyes, walked to the door gently, and opened the door. Only to find that the brothers from the Shi family were gone.
After walking out of the door and standing in the corridor, he suddenly saw a black figure standing on his right, looking at him quietly.
Lin Xin was sweating on his forehead. The other party was standing outside the door. He didn't realize that if he had been attacked just now, he would be really in danger.
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and faced off against the black shadow.
a long time....
The black figure slowly turned around and slowly walked into the shadows of the corridor step by step.
He walked slowly and slowly, as if he was very tired, and walked step by step towards the invisible darkness.
Lin Xin resisted the urge to draw his sword and looked at the yard. The Shi brothers were gone. Judging from their Qinggong skills, he would definitely not be able to keep up.
But this place is full of mystery and weirdness, and he must find out as much as possible what is going on here and the true purpose of Kong Yuhui and the Shi brothers, otherwise he always feels that he may become cannon fodder at any time and be pulled as a backstop.
Looking at the figure slowly walking into the darkness, Lin Xin knew that he could no longer keep up with the Shi brothers, so the figure in front of him was the only clue.
He gritted his teeth and followed slowly.
"Who are you?" he asked in a low voice.
The black shadow was about to walk into the darkness, and it seemed as if it didn't hear Lin Xin's inquiry at all and said nothing.
Lin Xin followed him and when he passed Ouyang Qing's room, he looked inside and saw a person lying on the bed inside, but his back was still turned to him and he couldn't see clearly.
After thinking about it, he knocked gently on Ouyang Qing's door.
Bang bang...
The clear knock on the door suddenly came to mind, which seemed a bit harsh in the quiet yard.
"Ouyang Qing is one of the two strongest people in the team. I probably can't handle it alone. Although she may have her own plans, she must find someone to look after each other." A thought flashed through Lin Xin's mind.
"Junior Brother Lin?" Suddenly a voice came from behind him.
Lin Xin quickly turned around and saw Ouyang Qing standing behind him, holding a sword and looking at him solemnly.
"Stop knocking and come with me!" Ouyang Qing whispered, quickly following the figure into the darkness.
Lin Xin was determined and quickly followed.
"Junior brother Lin wants to know where Kong Yuhui and the Shi brothers went at night, right?" Ouyang Qing whispered from the front.
"Why did they stay up late at night and sneak out? Is there something we don't know about this mission?" Lin Xin also whispered.
"Of course it's for the Yin blood." Ouyang Qing smiled faintly and said calmly, "Kong Yuhui is like this, and the Shi brothers are like this. If it wasn't for the Yin blood, who would come so far just to kill the Yin blood bird?"
She walked in front, followed by Lin Xin.
"Then what was that black shadow just now?" Lin Xin asked in the darkness. He didn't care about the Yin blood or anything, he only cared about whether he could return safely from this mission.
"Dark shadow? What dark shadow?" Ouyang Qing was slightly stunned.
"I just saw a dark shadow in front of me. It slowly walked into the shadow. It always felt a little creepy." Lin Xin replied as low as possible.
