"You know better than to leave quickly." The old man said angrily.
"...."
After finishing speaking, he paused again and said: "Don't go through the main entrance, go through the window, and you must run faster when the time comes. I can guarantee that my home will be surrounded by a large number of followers of the Tree God Sect at this time.
.”
"I'm just a girl, are you so sure that I can outrun those strong adult men?" Lu Qing joked at this time.
"Oh."
The old man smiled disdainfully and said, "Are those people still strong?"
"They are all as thin as poles. When I was young, I could shoot several of them. As for you, no one knows how far away the hunter's home is from here. Don't I know? What's more, there are trees and walls in the middle.
, I don’t think ordinary girls can be like you and come here without even a few dusts and scars on their bodies.”
"You have such good eyesight." Lu Qing smiled and said.
"Of course."
"..."
The room fell into silence again. After the two looked at each other, Lu Qing thought for a while, took out the previous photo of Route 14, placed it on the table and showed it to the old man: "You know this road
?”
"Um?"
After the old man saw the photo in Lu Qing's hand, his pupils shrank subconsciously, and then returned to their original state. He picked up the photo, looked at the picture on the photo carefully, and said:
"Of course I know this. Route 14. If you take this road, you can go to the city closest to the village."
"But the direction leading to this road has long been blocked by trees. If you can't get through, no one can get through." The old man said, and threw the photo on the table again.
He looked at Lu Qing and asked, "Do you want to leave the forest?"
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded.
The old man watched the girl in front of him quietly. From the firm look on her face, he knew that she was serious and she really wanted to leave the forest.
"If possible, I also want to leave the forest." Sighing, the old man shook his head, pushed the photo back to Lu Qing, and said: "I will not advise you to give up. It is right for young people to have their own ideas.
of."
"Anyway, please be safe."
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Lu Qing put the photo away.
Just when she wanted to continue asking the old man some questions, suddenly, the old man's body fell on the table without any warning, making a "plop" sound.
The old man fainted suddenly, which startled Lu Qing. Just when she wanted to check on the old man's condition, the door was kicked open, and then a group of strange-looking people got in from outside the door.
Why do we say that these people look strange? Because eight out of ten of these people who suddenly rushed in had physical deformations.
Among them, the man who looked like the leader had all the skin on his body ulcerated. He only had four fingers on his left hand, and the index finger joint was bent upward, shaking up and down unconsciously.
His head, which looked full of wrinkles and looked like a tumor, faced Lu Qing, and his eyes, which were as small as two black dots, looked at her, as if he was wondering why she didn't faint.
After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with the reason. Without looking back, he said to the person behind him: "Catch her. She is the sacrifice required by the priest."
"Sacrifice, the man in black robe?" Lu Qing analyzed in her heart.
It seems that, as the old man said, the Tree God Cult wants to capture him as a sacrifice for the next transformation ceremony. And the reason why the old man suddenly fainted, if he guessed correctly, must be poisonous gas.
Lu Qing was no stranger to poisonous gases. After all, she had been poisoned by hypnotic gas before in the Night City and almost died on the spot.
However, today is different from the past. With the blue [Advanced Poison Resistance] skill, she will no longer be poisoned by this ordinary poisonous gas.
Lu Qing closed her eyes and then "saw" a picture.
This is directly above the old man's house. Wein is flying around the roof, passing her vision to her.
This is the special effect of the cabin building [Exquisite Birdcage]. Lu Qing only recently remembered that there is such an effect. After all, it is not his own skill and he accidentally forgot about it.
This is the first time she has shared Wein's vision, and the effect is pretty good after using it.
After observing the number of followers of the Tree God Cult outside the house, Lu Qing sneered twice, then pulled out a carving knife and turned it twice in his hand, saying: "It's just such a small number of people, but they can't catch me."
Intentionally or unintentionally, she blocked the fainted old man behind her. Lu Qing held the carving knife in her hand and stared at everyone in the room with her eagle eyes.
But Lu Qing's behavior put the followers of the Tree God Sect in the room into trouble.
They originally thought that after seeing so many people, Lu Qing would simply give up her struggle, but they didn't expect that she would choose to continue resisting.
They were just a group of ordinary villagers. It was not like they couldn't see the knife in Lu Qing's hand. Whoever struck first would risk being stabbed by the knife.
If it were normal, they would have greeted them with pitchforks, shovels, and long sticks from a long distance in their hands, but the problem this time was that their sacrifices required that they be caught alive, which meant that they could not be beaten to death, which made them uncomfortable.
No, neither does retreat.
"What are you hesitating about? Hurry up and don't be afraid of getting hurt. With the protection of the tree god, we won't die!" The leader shouted angrily when he saw that his subordinates were so cowardly.
His voice was somewhat useful. Several people behind him came over and gradually walked toward Lu Qing with weapons in hand.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lu Qing had no idea of mercy. He took a quick step forward and slashed the neck of the Tree God Cult believer who was walking in front with a single knife.
The other party didn't have time to react at all. He only felt that the girl in front of him was in front of him. Immediately afterwards, the pain of being cut open in his neck was transmitted to his brain, making him instantly realize that his vitals had been cut by the girl in front of him.
open fact.
"Bang..."
The long stick in his hand fell to the ground, he stretched out his hand to touch his neck, and then brought his hand in front of his eyes.
"drink........"
The smelly blood rushed into the tip of his throat, and he fell to his knees on the ground. His consciousness gradually became blurred. In just ten seconds, the body of this Tree God Cult believer collapsed on the ground.
Lu Qing silently took a small step back, not letting a drop of blood spray on her body.
"..."
The room fell into silence. Everyone except Lu Qing looked at the dead body on the ground as if they had forgotten to breathe.
No one saw Lu Qing's movements clearly, but in just one breath, a believer fell in front of them.
"It seems that your rituals have not made you any different." Lu Qing flicked the blood on the carving knife and looked coldly at the followers of the Tree God Cult in the room.
