Chapter five hundred and first: despair and unwillingness
Sure enough, as soon as he made up his mind, the bald man turned around quietly without hesitation, and then crawled slowly to the other side of the road while lying on the ground like a turtle. The man climbed very slowly, always maintaining a small amplitude.
Move, climb a certain distance and stay still for a while, climb a certain distance and stay still for a while, lest you make the slightest sound.
Although the crawling was slow, he still managed to escape from the slope after more than ten seconds, successfully evaded the black shadow in front of the slope, and then arrived under a tree on the opposite side of the road. With the help of the moonlight, he turned around and looked back.
I saw that the hawk had quietly and slowly floated away from the top of the soil slope, and finally disappeared into the night in the distance.
"call!"
Seeing this, I patted my chest, took a long breath, and stretched out my hand to wipe the cold sweat from my forehead. After that, I sat against the tree like a puddle of mud, with my back against the tree and gasped. However, just after I wiped the cold sweat,
When Peng Hu threw his left hand to the ground casually, Peng Hu himself was only observing his surroundings and taking stock of the environment...
(Um?)
My left hand touched something. I touched something accidentally.
Strictly speaking, if what you touch is just dirt, gravel or weeds, it will not attract anyone's attention, let alone Peng Hu's attention. However, at this moment, as his left hand accidentally touched something
Thing, Peng Hu’s expression suddenly changed in an instant!
reason?
The reason is that the things you touch feel unusual.
The touch transmitted through the fingers is definitely not the touch that rocks or plants should have, but is very similar to human skin!!!
At the same time, as early as a few seconds ago, when Peng Hu was resting against the big tree, something very similar to a human head was quietly falling down directly above his head...
………
Under the cover of night, my left hand accidentally touched an object.
Sensing the difference in touch, Peng Hu suddenly turned his head and looked to his side. Only when he took a look did he realize that there was a corpse lying next to him!
A dead man, the corpse of a man who was 100% dead for a long time.
Why is it definitely a corpse? The reason comes from the other party's terrible state.
Imagine seeing a dead person suddenly in the middle of the night. Even Peng Hu was really startled. Fortunately, the bald man was very courageous. He calmed down when he was slightly surprised. He didn't make a sound or make a sound. He just hurriedly
He stood up from the ground and squatted under the tree to observe. Using the moonlight from high in the sky, he carefully observed the body.
From what you can see, you can first determine that the deceased is a male based on his clothing. However, the biggest difference from ordinary corpses is... this is a mummy!
The man died in an extremely miserable state, his body was almost withered, his expression was severely distorted, his mouth was wide open, and most of his eyes were protruding from the sockets. It seemed as if he had experienced some kind of painful torture when he died. He refused to close his eyes and looked at it, which sent chills down Peng Hu's spine.
and……
As the observation gradually deepened and continued, he vaguely noticed that the face of the mummy seemed familiar.
Seems like I've seen it before?
Suddenly! He remembered who the other party was. This person was Zhang Xu!
This time we have newcomer Zhang Xu!
Yes, Peng Hu knew that Zhang Xu had escaped privately when he was on the Yin-Yang Road, and ran away alone from the large army, but he never expected that this man named Zhang Xu had not walked out of the Yin-Yang Road for so long, and not only did he not walk out, but he died here.
.
Let’s not talk about Peng Hu squatting under the tree and observing the corpse, or the bald man staring at the corpse thoughtfully. The camera shifted slightly, rose slightly, and then moved to directly above the head...
At some point, an old man appeared from the lush branches and leaves of the big tree, a strange old man with a withered appearance and a pale face.
The reason why it is called weird comes from the state of the old man. 'He' is only half, connected to the tree trunk from the waist down, and when he appears, half of his body is displayed in the form of hanging upside down. After the old man appears, he immediately looks down, and a pair of faint eyes appear.
The red eyes stared straight down at Peng Hu!
‘He’ is silent from beginning to end, extremely silent from beginning to end.
But it was precisely because the old man didn't make any sound when he hit the machine that Peng Hu was completely unaware of the scene happening above his head.
Then……
The old man moved, and stretched his arms like dead wood downwards towards Peng Hu under the tree.
Even though the distance between the two sides is two meters, the arms are still stretching, extending continuously, and can continue to extend after reaching the limit!
The distance gradually shortened, and they came closer quietly in the silent and dead night.
Under the tree, looking at the miserable corpse in front of him, Peng Hu's stubble-covered face couldn't help but twitch. It was obvious that based on the miserable condition of the corpse, he could be 100% sure that Zhang Xu died abnormally and was most likely killed by a hawk.
Dead, even though he said that, he still didn't expect that the lonely wild slugs on the Yin and Yang Road would have such a terrifying way of killing!
By analogy, if he is also caught by these monsters, then the fate of Zhang Xu in front of him will undoubtedly be his fate in the future. Thinking of this, the fear in the bald man's heart becomes more and more intense and becomes more and more difficult to suppress. He does not intend to continue hiding.
It's a long night, and there is only one way to die in the end. You must escape from the yin and yang road as soon as possible and then join the large army!
He did what he thought of and carefully observed his surroundings. After confirming that there were no suspicious hawks nearby, Peng Hu stood up from the ground and planned to leave.
Can……
Snap!
At this moment, just when the bald man found the right direction and raised his feet to walk, suddenly! A pair of arms, a pair of arms from top to bottom, grabbed the neck in an instant!
He grabbed Peng Hu without warning and grabbed the back of his neck!!!
"ah!"
Out of control and out of instinct, the sudden change frightened Peng Hu half to death on the spot. A scream of extreme horror echoed everywhere in an instant. Under this surprise, the bald man's body trembled suddenly, and he felt something being hit on his neck.
Caught it, caught it tightly
, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape from the restraint. Sure enough, seeing that the struggle was ineffective and controlled by his subconscious, just when he quickly raised his hands and stretched to the back of his neck to break free from the restraint, the next second, a human head had already rushed from above his head.
Dropped to your eyes in the blink of an eye!
Along with it, there is also a pale face covered with wrinkles!
At this moment, the hanging old man was facing Peng Hu face to face, almost face to face, making eye contact!
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
What a terrifying scene, what a horrifying scene. Seeing a mango face suddenly appear in front of him, and unable to escape, at this moment, Peng Hu's body shook wildly and screamed repeatedly, which made him tremble all over.
He was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his breath, and he screamed like never before.
Stop, but fear is fear, and fear is fear. With the unique super understanding and observation ability of senior people, the bald man came to a conclusion in an instant as early as a few seconds ago, when the man's face drooped into his field of vision.
A reality that you have to accept even if you don’t believe it anymore:
This thing in front of me is 100% a worm!
Not only did he confirm that the other party was a wolf, but he also found out the cause and effect from the way the wolf appeared, that is...
The cockroach was hiding above the head and hiding in the trees. The cockroach thing actually launched a surprise attack from the bottom up, and then succeeded in catching himself!!!
(Oops!)
The house leaked and it rained all night, and anything would cause a chain reaction. At the same time, just when Peng Hu realized that his situation was not good, because the screams when he was first arrested were too loud, black shadows appeared in the surrounding night.
A large group of dense black figures appeared.
Just like a pack of wolves discovering prey, like a shark smelling a blood gorilla, in just a few seconds, a large group of black shadows moved in, all rushing towards the big tree, rushing towards Peng Hu from all directions, the number was simply uncountable!!!
Seeing the large wave of black shadows gradually approaching, and seeing countless black shadows floating towards him frequently, Peng Hu, who was being grabbed by the neck by the old man under the tree, was in despair, completely in despair.
Or it can be understood as...
He's finished.
Reason? There is no need for a reason. Reason? There is no need for a reason. The facts are in front of you. Let alone the fact that you are tightly held and restrained by the old man in the tree. Just saying that the current situation of being surrounded by beetles in all directions is enough to sentence you to death.
Surrounded, there are lynxes in all directions, all of them are lonely wild larvae that only know how to kill.
Dead!
There is no hope left.
Of course, despair is despair, and death is inevitable. Even so, the above does not mean that Peng Hu is willing to close his eyes and wait for death, nor does it mean that he is willing to wait for death!
As has been described many times in the past, the bald man has never been the one who gives up easily. Even if there is absolutely no way to survive, even if there is absolutely no doubt that he will die, he will still struggle and will still fight until the last moment.
because……
He is Peng Hu!
Even if death is irreversible, I still have to pull as hard as I can before I die!!!
Therefore, when it was confirmed that he was not going to die, the next moment, the frightened expression on Peng Hu's face disappeared, replaced by ferocious, crazy anger that he had never seen before.
(I still have a glimmer of hope, a slim and uncertain chance of survival!)
It's a matter of life or death!
Looking at the old man's face that was almost face to face with his own, Peng Hu immediately gave up the struggle, stopped exerting his body, stopped waving his hands, quickly reached into his arms, and soon took out a piece of talisman paper that had been shining with golden light.
Slap him hard on the face.
“Fuck you Male Gobi!!!”
As mentioned above, because the distance between the two was too close and the man's movements were extremely fast, as expected, as soon as the roar came out, the next moment, the talisman was stuck on the old man's face.
Snap!
Next…
An astonishing scene happened, a shocking scene that even Peng Hu himself did not expect:
Oh, wow!
"Ugh!"
As the golden light talisman stuck to the old man's face in the blink of an eye, and due to the golden light talisman's exorcism property of dissipating when it comes into contact with the wolf, a dazzling golden light was emitted on the spot the moment it came into contact with the wolf. The light was dazzling and spread out.
The old man in front of him also screamed when the spell flashed, a series of blood-curdling wails.
'He' was in pain, extremely painful, unbearable pain, and screamed as if he was suffering some kind of torture.
While wailing, the binding feeling around Peng Hu's neck disappeared instantly.
But, things are not over yet, still not over.
"Uh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
No one understands what is happening at this moment. The only thing they know is that a shocking scene is currently taking place. At this moment, as the golden light talisman sticks directly to the face, and as the golden light talisman flashes and burns, the man hanging upside down in front of Peng Hu
The old man began to cry, just like that
The bald man in front of him twisted his neck in pain and shook his head. He covered his face with his withered hands. His body became translucent, and under the double shroud of flames and golden light, it quickly blurred and became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it completely disappeared, completely without a trace.
No trace.
The golden light talisman actually wiped out a worm!!!
The reason? The reason is very simple. The golden light talisman is a supernatural exorcism prop. In the past, this kind of prop could only play a role in protection and life-saving. It could only temporarily repel Li Qi in front of it, and it would be useless if it encountered an earth-bound spirit.
Paper, but please don’t forget, don’t ignore the level of worms, let alone the differences between worms.
As most practitioners understand, there are different levels of beetles, as well as strengths and weaknesses. In previous supernatural missions, most of the beetles encountered by the practitioners were higher-level beetles. It is conceivable that
Li Qi’s strength, the golden light talisman that focuses on defense
There is nothing that can be done about it, the golden light talisman is the same, and the same is true for other supernatural props. The only thing that can be done after using it is to delay and save life. In essence, it does not cause much real harm to Li Qi. As for the earth-bound spirits like Sadako, then
Not to mention.
The reason why the golden light talisman can destroy the old man at this moment is precisely because the opponent is not Li Qi, but a lone soul, a lone soul wild hawk whose level and strength are far inferior to Li Qi.
Let’s get back to the topic, let’s not talk about anything else for the moment. As the golden light gradually dissipated, when we witnessed the old man disappearing without a trace, and when we were completely sure that the physical restraints were lifted, even though we didn’t understand why the other party disappeared for the moment, the threat that followed made the bald head instinctively
Take action, or in other words, he has no time to think about this at all now, because at the moment when the old man's hawk disappeared, the swarms of hawks that were rushing in from all directions were less than five meters away from him!!!
"ah!"
Seeing such a scene, the bald man was so frightened that the hairs on his hair stood on end like chaff. He thought he could not escape this disaster, but for some reason, at the moment when he was ready to be swallowed up by the swarm of hawks,
Inexplicably, my mind recalled the painful expression on the old man's face when he was illuminated by the golden light.
Just like many times, certain thoughts or ideas just flashed through his mind for a moment, without any reason or reason. After recalling the painful and miserable situation of the old man, Peng Hu made another move at the next moment, knowing full well that he would be caught by these worms.
He wondered what would happen if he lived there, so he reached into his arms for the second time and took out the golden light talisman, prompted by a certain thought in his mind.
He took out the most golden talisman in the entire mission!
Snap!
The talisman was quickly affixed to his forehead.
At the same time, at the same time, at the moment when the golden light talisman was just attached to the forehead, the nearest oysters had completely floated in front of him, with pairs of pale oyster claws extending straight out.
It followed closely and sank into Peng Hu’s body!!!
A large group of oysters surrounded the bald man, and a large number of oyster claws went straight into Peng Hu's body!!!
"Woo!"
When the claws penetrated the body without causing any wounds, Peng Hu had only one feeling. He clearly felt that all his strength had disappeared in an instant, and was being sucked away at an extremely fast speed. He was weak.
He was helpless, his whole body was limp, and he even had no strength to stand.
These locusts, these locusts called lonely souls, can actually absorb the life force of living people!!!
Understood, understood instantly, he finally understood, finally understood how Zhang Xu died, and further figured out why the other party turned into a mummy.
So that's what happened. Now, it's my turn. It's my turn to become a mummy. It's my turn to die miserably.
but……
The expected scene did not happen, and the expected ending did not appear.
Peng Hu did not die and was not transformed into a mummy.
The reason is very simple. The moment the golden light talisman is attached to the forehead and the claws are inserted into the body are at the same moment.
Wow!
At the critical moment, when countless claws sank into the body, causing Peng Hu to become weak, the golden light talisman on his forehead also erupted at this moment, suddenly erupting into a dazzling golden light that spread around!
Then, there was horror, shock, and a more spectacular shock than the first time:
The moment the golden light spread, the nearest oysters rose up from the ground as if swept by a strong wind, flying upside down like rootless duckweeds, and bounced back in an instant!
At the same time, a voice prompt popped up in my mind:
"Successful use of the golden light talisman will be 100% effective against weaker creatures. However, due to too many nearby spirits, the effectiveness of the golden light talisman is inhibited. The protection time will be reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes."
"Drink!"
Da da da da!
Although the prompt was sent, Peng Hu himself almost didn't hear it because he had more important things to do at the moment.
For example, to escape, take advantage of the surrounding swarms of oysters being bounced away by the golden light to escape!
Seeing the swarm flying upside down and seeing the emergence of life, especially after seeing the golden light clearly restraining the swarm, Peng Hu, who was originally desperate and pessimistic, was overjoyed. As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be missed. In order to survive, it is even more important to
After informing the other teammates of the news, even though he was weak and physically exhausted, the bald man gritted his teeth and charged wildly while letting out a loud roar, running forcefully, spreading his legs and rushing towards the worms without hesitation.
Yes, since the protective effect of the golden light talisman has been activated, and his whole body has been wrapped in golden light, Peng Hu who rushes into the swarm can be said to be afraid. Saying this, the reality is indeed the case. Anyone who rushes all the way will be bald.
All the hawks that approached the man flew away without exception, and Peng Hu also took this opportunity to break out of the circle surrounded by hundreds of hawks!
The only regret is...
Unlike the old man who was directly attacked and howled before disappearing in the first place, maybe there was no personal contact or maybe it was only for defense this time. Although everyone who was hit by the golden light along the way bounced away, it was no longer possible to eliminate the old man.
It can only contain it, it can only make the surrounding swarms temporarily unable to attack. Sure enough, as Peng Hu rushed out of the siege, the lonely wild scorpions that had been scattered scattered gathered again, pursued again, and followed the man floating in behind.
For a time, hundreds of locusts started chasing like this. 'They' were completely unconscious and irrational, and they only relied on locust instinct to chase the living people in front of them.
And what's even more terrifying is...
Different from usual, this time, the swarm was faster.
Its floating speed is now completely equal to human speed!!!
Not only that, as Peng Hu ran away and was pursued by the swarm of hawks, a large number of lonely souls joined the team along the way and joined the swarm of hawks chasing Peng Hu.
Looking around, we can see hawks everywhere. The whole road is full of hawks!
The road of yin and yang is now fully worthy of its name.
This is a road to the abyss, a road of no return, a road of death that will separate yin and yang if you step on it.
"Whoaaah!"
Da da da da da!
Running, endless, howling, continuous ups and downs, Peng Hu's uncontrollable fear prompted him to run and scream, and if he looked down at the road from a third-person perspective at this moment, he would see the following scene:
In the dark night, there was a person at the front of the road. A bald man was running with all his strength. Behind him, there was a black shadow, followed by a large number of densely packed and countless solitary slugs. 'They' didn't say a word, and each one
Silent, just floating in the air, chasing the bald man collectively at an astonishing speed that is no less than a human running.
As for the bald man...
He was racing against time, racing against the God of Death, taking advantage of the effect of the golden light talisman to run as far away as possible and as close as possible to a certain direction.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Da da da da da!
Mixed with sweat and heavy breathing, under the moonlight, ahead, Peng Hu found that he was almost finished and was about to be finished. It was not that he couldn't outrun the beast, but that his physical strength was exhausted and his body was getting heavier and heavier.
My legs were as if they were filled with lead and it was difficult to maintain.
So what if my physical ability is far beyond that of ordinary people? I am still a mortal, an ordinary human being. As long as I am a human being, I will have physical limits, and as long as I am a human being, I cannot avoid physical fatigue.
In addition, he had consumed a lot of energy while avoiding swarms of hawksbills earlier, and now he was about to be unable to run. The reason why he could still keep running was because of his will to survive. Unfortunately, persistence is persistence after all, Peng Hu
After all, he is not a superman, and his physical strength has its limit after all. He doesn't know how long he can hold on. The protection time of the golden light talisman has been greatly weakened, and his physical strength is basically exhausted. However, the road ahead has no focus and no end.
Seeing this, Peng Hu had a vague feeling in his mind, an ominous premonition that was about to become a reality.
perhaps……
This run was the last run in his life.
Although this place called Yin Yang Road has no end, it does not prevent it from becoming the end of one's life.
(Is there still hope? Is it still too late? I am not afraid of death, but if the message is not delivered...I, I will not die in peace!)
………
His thoughts crossed the night sky, his consciousness passed through the darkness, and there were countless twists and turns before finally entering it, arriving at the window, and then sinking straight into the heart of a young man.
Ding!
In front of the window, staring at the night through the gap between the wooden boards, He Fei's heart began to beat wildly, inexplicably accelerating without any reason, and trembling uncontrollably.
Along with it, there is also an indescribable tension and hesitation.
