Just when Shi Mu was filled with surprise, the humanoid monster roared and rushed towards the nearest Shi Mu with a smelly smell.
Shi Mu took a deep breath and threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind. Without saying a word, he rushed forward. With a flick of his wrist, the single sword immediately turned into a large cold shadow and swept out.
"Bang" and "bang" several times.
The single sword struck the monster's chest four or five times in an instant, but it was like cutting on dead wood. It only made a few shallow wounds, and a faint green blood seeped out, but it was not serious at all.
Instead, the humanoid monster opened its arms and hugged Shi Mu fiercely.
Shi Mu was horrified, but the effect of his training while wearing black armor and running wildly in the mountains was fully reflected at this moment. Although he had not practiced any light body skills, his body shape was dangerous just by spinning around in place.
The two thick arms passed by dangerously and appeared behind the monster. The sword flashed and four or five shallow wounds appeared on the monster's waist.
"Roar"
Although the monster was not seriously injured, it was obviously enraged. It suddenly twisted its body backwards, and its upper body turned a weird 180 degrees. Its two arms danced, and it smashed down on Shi Mu like a wheel like a wheel.
.
There was a "boom" sound.
The monster's attack hit Shi Mu unexpectedly, and it was too late to dodge. He could only move the knife in both hands forward, and his whole body was thrown away like a sack.
Shi Mu's back hit a thick stone pillar heavily before he suddenly stopped with a shudder. When he turned over and jumped up again, his eyes were a little black and he was swaying.
But the humanoid monster had no intention of letting go of Shi Mu. It kicked off the ground with both feet, raised its arms, and pounced on him again with a fishy wind.
Shi Mu roared, and instead of dodging, he flicked his wrist, and his single sword suddenly transformed into six shadows and struck straight out.
A muffled sound!
The young man's fingers heated up, and the single sword flew out of his hand. It shot upwards with a "swish" and was deeply inserted into the beam of the hall. Shi Mu also "kicked" and "kicked" backwards.
The monster also made a shrill sound, and was knocked back by these knife shadows. Not only were four more knife marks added to its two arms, but two long knife edges appeared on its face, and a large number of green
Blood spurted out wildly.
"Brother, the zombie's head is the weak point, attack it quickly." When the middle-aged man on the other side saw this, he remembered and shouted in a hurry.
His shout immediately attracted the monster's attention.
At this time, it already knew that the Shi Mu it was facing was not easy to mess with, but it was filled with anger at this moment. It roared almost without thinking, and suddenly turned and rushed towards the bonfire.
"No"
When the middle-aged man saw this, he was so frightened that his daughter was behind him. Even if he wanted to avoid it, it was too late. He could only throw the dagger in his hand at the zombie, and then
He turned around and hugged his daughter tightly.
He actually used his body to protect the girl from behind.
"puff"
The monster moved one arm to push the dagger away, and the other beast's five fingers were extremely sharp. It broke open the man's clothes on the back with almost no difficulty, and directly inserted the lower half of it.
The man yelled, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
"ah"
When the girl hugged by her father saw this, her face turned pale and she screamed instantly.
At this moment, an incredible scene occurred.
The humanoid monster lowered its head and opened its smelly mouth, biting the man's neck. When he heard the girl scream, his body trembled and he screamed. His arms were instantly pulled out from the man's back, and he stumbled backwards with his head in his hands.
, looking very painful.
There was a sudden "whooping" sound, and Shi Mu rushed to the back of the monster at an astonishing speed, jumped up a few feet, shook his two arms, and struck hard at both sides of the monster's head with his two fists.
There was a "boom" sound.
The two fists struck the ground like hammers, with such force that there was an instant explosion, and the monster's head exploded like a watermelon, and countless green blood splashed out.
Shi Mu stomped on the ground with one foot, and his whole body was thrown backwards for several steps to avoid being splashed with green blood.
The monster's headless corpse swayed twice before falling heavily to the ground.
Shi Mu stood firm with his hands clenched into fists and took a deep breath, but his face could not help but turn slightly pale.
The fight just now lasted only a moment, but this zombie was far more terrifying than the beasts he had killed before. If he hadn't been suddenly disturbed by the girl's scream just now, he would never have been able to succeed with such a strike.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he possesses a thousand pounds of strength and has mastered the Stone Crushing Fist to a great extent. Otherwise, even if the monster's head is a weak point, ordinary warriors would not be able to severely damage it with their bare hands.
"Father"
At this time, the girl's heartbreaking voice came from the other side.
Shi Mu had time to look around and saw that the girl was half-lying on top of the man, using both hands to block the huge blood hole exposed on his chest, but blood kept pouring out.
, how can it really be stopped?
"Brother, little brother..."
At this time, the middle-aged man's face had no color at all, but he ignored his daughter's actions and desperately called Shi Mu over.
"Father, stop talking nonsense, I will find a doctor to stop your bleeding..." Seeing this, the girl cried and said.
"It's useless. Xiu'er, my father also knows a bit about medicine. My heart is broken now. I'm afraid I will die in a moment. I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy in this life. Even if I leave now, I will not
There is nothing to regret, the only one I can't worry about is you." Hearing this, the middle-aged man said with a wry smile, and looked at Shi Mu expectantly.
When the girl heard this, she became even more heartbroken.
"Uncle Zhong, do you have anything to say to me?" Shi Mu sighed, finally walked over and half-crouched next to the man.
Although he had a premonition that he might be in trouble, under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to just let it go.
"Little... little brother, it is a great fate that you and my father and daughter can... meet here. I am about to pass now, but I can't... let go of Xiu'er being alone in this world. I want to make her...
...Leave it to you, little brother." The middle-aged man began to breathe heavily and said.
"Isn't it necessary to entrust her to me? Ling Qianjin seems to be engaged to the Wu family. I can send her to the Wu family." After hearing this, Shi Mu was slightly startled.
"Wu family... Hehe... Hey... If I were still here, I would naturally have a way to get the Wu family to accept it, but now... the Wu family will never admit this marriage. If you... send your little girl there, just
Will...only..."
"If that's the case, I can also send Miss Xiu'er to other relatives." Shi Mu frowned and interrupted.
"Since the fall of the Zhong family, there have been... no relatives. Xiu'er, listen carefully... your marriage to the Wu family is cancelled... Little brother, I think you are not an ordinary person... I don't ask you for sure.
Ming Media is getting married to his daughter. As long as I promise to let Xiu'er be a concubine so that she can live comfortably in the future, I can rest in peace. Since you are a warrior, this heirloom of the Zhong family should be useful to you, so it can be used as a betrothal gift for my daughter.
.If you do something sorry for my little girl in the future, I, Zhong Ming, will not let you go even if I am a ghost." The middle-aged man quickly said the last few words as if reflecting on the past, then took out a small wooden box from his arms and stuffed it in.
After entering Shi Mu's hands, he screamed and lost any breath.
"Father"
Listening to her father's words, the girl was so surprised that she even forgot to cry. However, after seeing her father's death, she immediately lay down on the man's body and burst into tears again.
Shi Mu was holding the wooden box with one hand next to him. He was really stunned and at a loss.
"Sir, my father was probably a little delirious before he died. You don't need to take his words as truth. When we get to Fengcheng, please send me to the Wu family." After an unknown amount of time, the girl finally
He stopped crying, opened his red and swollen eyes, and said to Shi Mu, who had stood up straight.
"Miss Zhong, I think Uncle Zhong's last words are indeed inappropriate. You'd better keep this thing." Shi Mu took a breath after hearing this, replied awkwardly, and handed the wooden box back to the girl.
.
"I have never seen this thing, but since it was a gift from my father, I will not take it back. Besides, if you hadn't killed this monster with your own hands, sir, I wouldn't have been able to save my life."
But he shook his head.
"Miss Zhong, don't call me young master. My surname is Shi Mingmu. Well, the rain outside seems to have stopped. I'll help you bury your father's body first. Otherwise, over time, I'm afraid it will attract wild beasts in the mountains.
"Shi Mu heard this, hesitated for a moment, then took back the wooden box and said.
"Well, that's all. Brother Shi, just call me Zhong Xiu from now on." The girl seemed very weak, but after crying, she seemed to be much stronger.
A quarter of an hour later, on the hillside behind the ancient temple, the girl knelt in front of a grave, suppressed the pain in her heart and kowtowed three times, then turned around and left with Shi Mu.
After the two returned to the temple, although the corpse of the previous humanoid monster was still in the same place, its surface began to rot at an alarming rate. At the same time, a lot of green water seeped out of the corpse, making the entire hall smell bad.
.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Xiu didn't dare to get any closer, but Shi Mu frowned and said:
"This thing is so weird, it can't be left here like this. Miss Zhong, please wait a moment while I take care of this thing."
The girl listened and nodded repeatedly.
Shi Mu immediately turned around and walked out of the hall. When he came back a moment later, there were several thick banana-like leaves in his hand, and he strode to the side of the monster's corpse.
He bowed down, wrapped up the monster's body in three strokes, held it up with both hands, and walked out.
