Yang Yiyi didn't quite understand what Bai Mo meant, and wondered: "What do you think about hunters and prey? Doesn't it mean that those people outside just now are prey, and the two guys who killed them are hunters? How come that
Have these two guys become prey again?”
"Rather than saying it is prey, it is more suitable to say it is bait."
Bai Mo said calmly, "I just had doubts before. It wasn't until I saw those two guys last night that I was really sure of this... things are really not that simple."
He saw the two guys who tried to use the bait beast to hunt last night. They were a man and a woman. It was these two people who dumped the bodies of Wu Ziwu's two companions outside.
However, what is interesting is that there is actually a black silk thread split into two parts connected to the heads of the man and woman. And like the transparent thread Bai Mo saw before, the end of the black thread also goes straight to the clouds, and its destination cannot be seen at all.
He told Yang Yiyi about the thread, and the latter was frightened after hearing it.
"You mean I have a thread growing out of my head?"
Yang Yiyi looked up at the sky and touched the top of her head for a long time, but found nothing. She suddenly became even more panicked, but she resisted showing it and pretended to be fearless.
"I've already taken care of that thing."
Bai Mo did not say how he handled it, but continued, "I have never seen this kind of thread before, so I don't know what it does, but considering that if the person with the thread is killed, the thread will be transferred.
A little bit...I think it should be used for bait."
"Put bait?"
For some reason, Yang Yiyi suddenly felt a creepy feeling after hearing this word.
"When a person with a thread on his body is killed, the thread will be transferred to another person. Normally, people will only be killed by stronger people, which means that the thread will continue to transfer to the stronger person.
The boarders of the line will become stronger and stronger.”
"Getting stronger..."
Yang Yiyi was stunned, and suddenly she had an idea and said, "I understand! It's just like a person who casts a bait to catch the first prey and doesn't rush to close the pole, but uses the prey as a new bait to catch bigger prey.
, and use the new prey as new bait again, repeating the process one after another, until you catch the biggest prey?"
She felt that this should be the case, and she was quite proud of herself. She seemed to be able to keep up with this guy's ideas now.
Bai Mo said calmly: "From the perspective of purpose, I think it should be like this."
Yang Yiyi continued: "If you put it this way...are the two hunters actually the real initial bait?"
She looked thoughtful, "It doesn't matter if they can successfully kill all those people just now, but it doesn't matter even if they are killed during the pursuit, because Silk Thread will choose a new host when the time comes.
It's like catching a new prey with bait..."
Bai Mo glanced at her, then looked away.
Although he didn't speak, Yang Yiyi seemed to understand what he meant, and the other party seemed to be saying - you guys are not stupid sometimes?
She glared at Bai Mo fiercely, but she was not angry.
"No wonder you didn't say you couldn't do anything...are you worried that the thread will be connected to you?" After a moment, Yang Yiyi suddenly said worriedly, "If the thread is really as long as you said, and can even reach the sky, then
How big could that guy that dropped the hook be?”
She really couldn't imagine that kind of thing.
Bai Mo's eyes deepened a little, and he said calmly: "I didn't expect that people can be hidden in the sky..."
Yang Yiyi glanced at him strangely, and suddenly felt confused: "But that's not right. If the person with the wire on his body is killed, the wire will be connected to a stronger person. Then after you killed the spokesperson who didn't fit into the copper coffin,
The thread should be transferred to you, right? Why is it running to me?"
She actually felt a little guilty, because in her opinion, she might not be as strong as that spokesperson...
"Maybe it's because I'm too strong."
Bai Mo said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Some fish cannot be easily allowed to bite the hook, otherwise they may not be able to catch them, and there is even a risk of being dragged into the water."
Yang Yiyi curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "What a stinky fart..."
But she did understand what Bai Mo meant. The owner of the silk thread wanted a prey that was big enough and could be eaten, rather than fishing for a shark that was difficult to deal with, so she probably didn't dare to connect the thread to this guy easily.
So... I was selected by the line just because I was considered a substitute, not because I was better than the spokesperson?
Yang Yiyi couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Bai Mo didn't notice her expression. He was thinking about another thing at the moment - that was the relationship between transparent silk thread and black silk thread.
Whether these two kinds of silk threads are in the hands of two different people, or whether the same person controls two threads of different colors, is undoubtedly a question worth thinking about.
Because in Bai Mo's memory, similar threads appeared in the coffin burial ground, but the threads were neither transparent nor black, but more indifferent to white.
Transparent, but not completely transparent.
If different guys hold silk threads of different colors, it means that the person in the coffin ground and the owner of the silk thread he saw today are not the same person.
And if the same person holds different threads, it means that there may be a guy who can move between the coffin site and this world at will, so we must deal with it as soon as possible.
Therefore, the reason why Bai Mo transferred the silk thread to the fat man's head last night was not only to drag Yang Yiyi out of trouble, but also to observe what happened after that.
First of all, if the transparent silk thread and the black silk thread belong to the same person, then the fat man and the man and woman should be in a "same bait" relationship, and the owner behind it should not let the two baits in his hands fight each other.
And if the two kinds of threads belong to different beings, then it is normal for them to compete with each other, and it is not impossible to even fight to the death.
Therefore, Bai Mo only needs to observe whether the fat man and the man and woman will fight. This is a relatively simple way to judge.
But speaking of it, the being behind the silk thread is really wanton and reckless. He actually dares to make the spokesperson of Bujin Coffin into his own bait. I don’t know if Bujin Copper Coffin will send someone to take revenge after finding out...
Bai Mo stood at the door, looking at the gradually brightening sky with extremely deep eyes.
"More and more things are waking up, and I don't know if there will be anyone I know..."
"It's almost daybreak, let's set off."
At this moment, Yang Yiyi walked up to him with the children and said, "There is not much distance left. If nothing happens, we should be able to reach our destination today."
Han Xiao tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then asked: "Sister Yiyi, are you happy today?"
"yes."
Yang Yiyi smiled and touched his head, "I will be able to send you safely to Linxia City soon. Of course I am very happy. It is much safer in the city than outside. When you get there, you don't have to be as worried as you have been in the past few days.
."
She was truly happy for the children.
Xiaohu scratched his head and whispered: "But I always feel that the reason why you are happy, sister Yiyi, is not just this..."
The other two girls also nodded in agreement.
Yang Yiyi was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Is it so obvious?"
"My mouth is almost grinning to the sky. Can't you explain it clearly?" Bai Mo said coldly.
Yang Yiyi's face turned red and she rarely refuted.
She was indeed very happy, because after today's things were over, she could go to the mountains with Bai Wu to watch the sunrise. This was a very important thing to her, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was looking forward to it.
But she naturally wouldn't show her happiness, lest Bai Mo laugh at her, so she quickly said seriously: "Okay, let's go."
Everyone walked out of the village together. Along the way, they felt that the surrounding area was extremely quiet. I don't know if it was because Wu Ziwu and his group had already left. In short, they were not seen along the way.
However, when everyone reached the entrance of the village, Yang Yiyi's expression suddenly changed. She quickly reached out to cover the eyes of the two children, then dragged the other two children behind her and said seriously: "Don't look!"
Looking at the scene not far ahead, a look of unbearable expression appeared on her face.
I saw several corpses suddenly appeared on the thick dead tree at the head of the village. It was the group of people I saw just this morning. Except for the Wu Ziwu brothers and sisters and the fat man, almost everyone died here, and they all looked angry.
, the neck was pierced by iron hooks one after another, hanging on the tree like dried bacon, constantly shaking, and the ground was covered with blood.
Judging from the freshness of the blood, it was obvious that they had died not long ago, and it was not known whether the others died elsewhere or ran away.
What left a deep impression on Yang Yiyi was the girl named Zhou Caishi. After all, she had very practical healing abilities. However, she was also hung on the tree at this time, with empty eyes and tears on her face. She had obviously suffered a lot during her lifetime.
of fear.
And Yan Lei, who had shot Bai Mo, had a very ferocious expression on his face, as if he wanted to fight with the guy who killed them to die together. However, perhaps it was precisely because of this that he met the worst end, as his limbs seemed to be broken.
, weirdly twisted.
Yang Yiyi's first impression of this person was very bad, but when she saw the hanging body of the other person, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
It's not just because I feel sad about the other person's death, but because I feel sad about the cruelty of this world.
The people you met in various forms not long ago may turn into cold corpses the next time you meet them.
She couldn't help but think that if Bai Wu hadn't been with her this time, then maybe she would have died a violent death, right?
"Let's go." After a moment, Bai Mo said calmly.
The sight in front of him didn't seem to move him in any way, it was just a few corpses.
"It seems that the two hunters have figured out the strength of the prey and started hunting in an all-round way. And since they have chosen to continue to attack, it can be temporarily considered that the owners of the two threads are not the same person..."
Faced with Bai Mo's urging, Yang Yiyi hesitated for a moment and asked: "Can I bury them? At least they gave us food..."
She met these people by chance, and her abilities were limited, so she couldn't give them much help. In the end, all she could do was probably help them collect their bodies.
...even if there was some unpleasantness between them not long ago.
Bai Mo seemed to have expected that she would say this, and said calmly: "Go, but I won't help you."
As he finished speaking, black shadows suddenly spread from his feet and gradually climbed onto the faces of the four children, covering their eyes like blindfolds.
"I'm quick!"
Yang Yiyi was stunned, and quickly ran to dig a hole under the tree.
Bai Mo watched this scene and heard Han Xiao say blankly: "Brother Bai, we can also help Sister Yiyi dig the hole. We saw those corpses just now, they are not scary."
Bai Mo shook his head and said, "She doesn't want you to do it."
"But we want to help. It seems that we will be separated from you soon, and we want to do something for you before that."
Bai Mo glanced at the children, then at Yang Yiyi who was digging a hole quickly, and said softly: "You two, living well is the best way to repay that guy."
He smiled and seemed to understand, and then asked: "Brother Bai, what should I do to repay you?"
Bai Mo was silent for a long time, looking at the body hanging on the tree not far away, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"I'm a bad person and don't need repayment."
After a while, he said calmly, "After all...those people died because of me."
…
"I'm really exhausted."
It was noon, Yang Yiyi gulped water into her mouth, panting, "Why didn't anyone tell me that we have to climb such a steep slope here..."
She sat on a rock on the edge of the slope and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I said it before, but you just didn't remember it. The person before said that after climbing this slope, you can reach Linxia City by going down."
Bai Modan said calmly, "And who told you to spend all your energy digging holes for others?"
"What does that have to do with it? It's not that climbing this slope is too strenuous!"
Bai Mo was silent for a moment and said: "This is my heavy slope. When you go up the slope, you will bear three times the gravity of yourself, so it is often difficult to climb to the end. You can't see the top of the slope, so it is also called the topless slope. But when going down the slope,
Your own gravity will also be reduced by about three times, and then you will be able to experience the feeling of walking as fast as flying."
Yang Yiyi curled her lips and said, "You really know everything..."
"Sister Yiyi, it's written here!" Xiaohu reminded, pointing to a sign.
"I only found out after reading it," Bai Mo added.
Only then did Yang Yiyi notice a sign standing on the edge of the slope, but it was covered a lot by weeds, so she didn't see it at the first time.
She smiled, looked at the children for a while, and asked, "Are you tired?"
"You're not tired, the charm given by Sister Yiyi is very useful." The children said in unison.
"Yeah?"
Yang Yiyi smiled bitterly. Before going up the slope, she used an amplification charm to increase the physical fitness of the children. She also used one herself, but she always felt that the effect was not very good...
