Just when Liu Xing and others were staring at the mythical creature hanging on the tree, the mythical creature seemed to realize that it had been discovered, and immediately fell straight to the ground, and then disappeared, or
It is said that the mythical creature "integrates" with the ground - this mythical creature has dived directly into the ground, or maybe this mythical creature just has the same body temperature as the surrounding environment, so as long as it does not move, it can deceive people wearing night masks.
Visual instrument Liu Xing et al.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing and his party became even more cautious, because no one knew if there was such a mythical creature around them.
At this moment, Master Zixuan came back.
"Our guess was indeed correct. The person who fired the gun just now has disappeared without a trace, but I smelled a strange burning smell at the place." Shi Zixuan said.
Liu Xing nodded and described the mythical creature he saw before to Shi Zixuan.
"It should be a subspecies of Shoggoth, or in a sense, all soft-bodied mythical creatures can be classified as subspecies of Shoggoth, except for things like the Invisible Son, which have a clear origin.
"Mythical creatures." Zhang Jingxu said seriously, "But we have to continue setting off now. The members of the surrounding public factions should have heard the news here. As for the reason why they chose to stand still for the time being because they have identified this Shoggoth subspecies.
existence, so they know very well that they cannot deal with these Shoggoth subspecies in such an environment, so they can only wait for a period of time before coming over to check the specific situation."
As soon as Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Liu Xing and others heard the sound of dense footsteps in the distance. It seemed that at least a dozen people were heading towards the place where the gunshot had just been fired.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's evacuate first."
After Watanabe Ryusei finished speaking, he quietly took Liu Xing and others away.
But before taking a few steps, Yin En said: "By the way, do we want to follow these members of the public faction? It is pitch dark in the sea of trees in Aokigahara. They should not rashly leave their strongholds, and the public faction
These strongholds should be the previous secret bases. As for these secret bases, most likely they were built based on Mount Fuji."
Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing and others exchanged glances... Well, because everyone was wearing night vision goggles, it was no longer possible to use eye contact, so Liu Xing decisively
Thumbs up.
As a result, Liu Xing and others, led by Shi Zixuan, cautiously came to the vicinity of the gunshot. However, because they were worried that members of the public faction would learn from the mistakes, they had learned to actively release infrared rays to determine the surroundings.
Is there such a subspecies of Shoggoth? So in order to avoid harming the pond fish, Liu Xing and others stopped more than sixty meters away and hid behind a small slope.
At this time, members of more than a dozen public factions had arrived at the place where the gunshots were fired.
According to Shi Zixuan, the shooter was attacked by a subspecies of Shoggoth near a bush, so Shi Zixuan suspected that the shooter came alone to solve some of his own problems.
When we got here, we didn't expect that there was a Shoggoth subspecies hidden here.
"Damn it, it's that kind of monster again!"
A young man's voice sounded, "Recently, we have lost more than ten brothers in the Aokigahara Sea of Trees, and after Mount Fuji became active, this monster also began to become more active and began to learn to take the initiative.
Attack, they used to wait until we got close to them before they launched an attack."
"It seems that we can't split up anymore, but this unlucky guy has done a good thing and allowed us to return to the base to rest early; but I think those people above are a little too careful. Today's Aokigahara
Are there people from the Wu family hiding in the sea of trees? Although the Aokigahara sea of trees is indeed a suitable place to hide, hiding here is of no benefit to them. After all, the secret bases in the Aokigahara sea of trees are plain.
There are just one excavation site after another, with nothing useful at all." Another young man's voice sounded.
At this time, an old male voice coughed twice and said: "Stop talking about this. We, the subordinates, only need to follow the instructions above, so we should go back quickly and collect the things that need to be packed.
Pack everything up, I suspect that Mount Fuji may really erupt, and then the Aokigahara Sea of Trees will turn into the Aokigahara Sea of Fire. If we take a step slower, we may never be able to leave here again."
After saying that, one person left first, and the rest followed closely behind. It seemed that the old man should be the leader of the patrol.
"Let's follow."
Shi Zixuan made a gesture, and then followed the patrol a few steps ahead of Liu Xing and others.
Not long after, Liu Xing and others saw a bright light not far away, which seemed to be the base mentioned by this patrol.
To be on the safe side, Shi Zixuan once again made a gesture to Liu Xing and others, and then the whole person disappeared in the eyes of Liu Xing and others.
It seems that this is Shi Zixuan's true strength.
"Sure enough, he is a worthy scholar despite his great reputation. To be called one of the most powerful thieves in the world, Shi Zixuan, is definitely not unworthy of his fame." Zhang Jingxu couldn't help but admire.
Ishikawa Ling on the side nodded and said: "Yes, with this skill, Master Zixuan can already enter and exit most places in this world, but having said that, I seem to have heard what I just heard there.
That old man’s voice.”
"Me too, but I can't remember it right now...wait a minute, is this old man a comedian?"
Watanabe Ryusei thought for a while and continued: "I have nothing to do during this time, so I like to watch some variety shows. This old man's voice seems to be very similar to that of a certain comedian, but he is not very famous, so I
I can’t even remember what his name was.”
As outsiders in this parallel world, Liu Xing and others can only say that they have no idea who this comedian is who is only famous in the island country.
But this is not important, because as long as we know that the old man is a member of the public faction, if there is a conflict, Liu Xing and others will not choose not to take action because the old man is a celebrity.
Liu Xing and others waited there for a long time, but did not see Master Zixuan come back.
"Is something going on with Shi Zixuan? She just went to check the situation at the base. Logically speaking, she can come back within a few minutes; but there was no movement at the base, and it seemed that Shi Zixuan was not discovered either.
That's right, so should we get closer?" Liu Xing said with a frown.
Yin En nodded and volunteered: "Then let me go. I should be the one with the strongest lurking ability among everyone present."
As Yin En spoke, he squatted down and slowly moved towards the direction of the light.
Not long after, Yin En came back and said, "There may be a problem with this base!"
According to Yin En, this base is a secret base with a circle of barbed wire around the perimeter, and then several bunkers were poured with cement next to the barbed wire. You can vaguely see a machine gun placed in each bunker.
After seeing this battle, Yin En realized that something was wrong. Because no matter how fierce the battle between the public and the military was, it was unlikely that the public and military factions would directly drive tanks and planes to find trouble for each other, let alone hundreds of people.
The No. 1 man rushed toward the opponent's stronghold in a whimpering manner, so no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this machine gun should not be a weapon that would appear in a civil war.
After all, we are all picky people, so how could we use firearms as our main weapons?
Although firearms are still very useful when certain mythical creatures do not appear.
But apart from these bunkers and machine guns, what worried Yin En the most was that there seemed to be no one in these bunkers, or in other words, there was no one in Yin En's field of vision.
"It seems that Master Zixuan and those people have entered the secret base, but the problem is that the general situation inside the secret base can be seen at a glance, so the area of the secret base is not large, and it is only a few meters away from where I was just now.
It's less than a hundred meters away, but there's still no sound at all, and no one can be seen, so I suspect that this secret base may just be a deception, and the real base may be deeper inside." Yin En said seriously.
Hearing what Yin En said, Liu Xing and others realized that the current situation seemed a bit tricky, because the public faction seemed to be setting up an empty city plan. If Liu Xing and others appeared rashly, they would probably be discovered, and even be killed.
Encountered various traps, but now that Shi Zixuan has gone forever, Liu Xing and others are still worried that Shi Zixuan has been ambushed in the base, and are struggling to wait for the support of Liu Xing and others.
So, is it time to advance or retreat?
"Let's wait a little longer. If Master Zixuan doesn't come back, we will..."
Watanabe Ryusei's words came to an abrupt end.
Just when Liu Xing was about to ask Watanabe Ryusei what was going on, he suddenly smelled a vague burning smell, but this burning smell was not consistent with the various burning smells in Liu Xing's impression.
No., so this should be the "strange burning smell" mentioned by Shi Zixuan.
This means that a Shoggoth subspecies appeared nearby!
What is going on? Does this Shoggoth subspecies want to attack his group?
Liu Xing really didn't expect that this Shoggoth subspecies would be so brave. A "person" would dare to attack his group.
"Let's form a circle back to back first to make sure our backs are safe." Yin En said in a low voice.
As a result, Liu Xing and others didn't care about being gentle, and quickly formed a circle back to back, and then each took out their weapons and began to guard the surroundings.
However, wherever Liu Xing looked, there was no trace of the Shoggoth subspecies. It seemed that the current environment in the sea of trees in Aokigahara was really suitable for it.
A few minutes passed like this, and the vague burning smell suddenly disappeared. It seemed that this Shoggoth subspecies had no choice but to leave after failing to find a suitable opportunity to attack.
This made Liu Xing and others heave a sigh of relief, because with normal vision, it would not be difficult for Liu Xing and others to deal with this Shoggoth subspecies, but in the current situation, they just want to be sure
The position of this shoggoth subspecies is not an easy task, let alone countering this shoggoth subspecies.
What's more, this is near a base of the public faction.
After remaining vigilant for several minutes, Liu Xing and others finally relaxed, but Master Zixuan still made no movement at all.
"It seems that if we don't want to give up Shi Zixuan, we have to enter the secret base, but we have to be extremely careful, because Shi Zixuan is already inside; but this also means that this secret base is very important to the public
It is very important for the faction, otherwise..."
This time Liu Xing was interrupted by a strange voice before he finished speaking.
The sound was like rocks falling into some very viscous liquid, giving people an indescribable dull feeling.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu, who was looking towards the secret base, suddenly said: "Look!"
Liu Xingxunsheng looked over and found that the imaging function in the night vision device seemed to have malfunctioned. As a result, things in the distance could not be imaged normally and disappeared, while things close by were normal.
In other words, it was like a dark curtain suddenly descended, covering everything in the distance, making it impossible for Liu Xing and others outside to see clearly what was going on behind the dark curtain.
An idea flashed in Liu Xing's mind, and he instantly understood what all this was about.
"So it turns out that it's probably because the Yamata-no-Orochi is breaking the seal, or the seal of the Amancong Cloud Sword is not broken through the normal method, that is, the Kusanagi sword, so there is a special space that is centered around the Yamata-no-Orochi and outwards.
Spread, everything shrouded in it will not be seen clearly by outsiders, and it will most likely be difficult for people inside to leave, so Shi Zixuan and the members of the public faction just now were trapped
Inside!" Liu Xing said seriously, "So, do we want to go in now?"
"Must go in!"
Watanabe Ryusei said without hesitation: "Not only is Master Zixuan inside, but my subordinates are also here, so we cannot abandon them, and if what you said Liu Xing is true, then we
Maybe there is still a chance to continue sealing the Yamata no Orochi!"
Liu Xing looked at Yin En and Zhang Jingxu and found that they were also nodding. It seemed that the kp here had issued relevant tasks to them.
Therefore, Liu Xing and others walked into the darkness one after another after changing positions.
