Chapter 1054: The Hooded Man Who Suddenly Appeared
They were now shrinking the encirclement at a very fast pace, and it seemed that they had become much more emboldened after making sure that there was no white mist in the forest.
I also crouched on the ground at this point, trying to hide myself as much as possible.
The footsteps grew more and more distinct, but I heard some other strange sounds from the jumble of footsteps.
The first is the heavy wheezing sound of the snow leopard, which is very different from that of a human, and it is much louder.
The second is some "whooshing" sound wafting in the cold air, not the sound of the wind, but some sound similar to the whispering of ghosts, and I can also really feel that in the places where the whispers sound, there is some looming energy buried in it, not psionic energy, but more real than psionic energy.
The number of the second voice was growing at a rapid rate, but the wanderers who surrounded the place were unaware, for they did not retreat, but rather quickened the pace of their attack.
It was at the very moment that they quickened their march that I suddenly heard a clear low roar from the forest, clearly the roar of the ice flower, followed by the screams of a wanderer.
The entire circle of loiters quickly became chaotic, and I saw many of them make almost instinctive back-off movements.
But......
It's too late for them.
I could feel the anger that permeated the nearby woods, all of which came from the mysterious Gu creatures that floated in the air.
I saw that the light in the forest suddenly became weird, and before the moonlight fell to the ground, it had been refracted by a large number of phantoms that appeared out of thin air in the forest, and these phantoms were like the action of the water layer, making the moonlight distorted and unreal.
Of course......
Now everything in this forest is no longer able to distinguish between real and unreal.
The large number of phantoms that appeared after the ice flower roared were clearly the three ghost-like Gu creatures with moon spirit faces that I had just dealt with, which were the "resentful spirits" in Gechai's mouth.
I never expected that there were so many resentful spirits here, and each spirit was extremely strong in combat.
Although these wanderers belong to Zhao Youkuang's elite team, their individual combat ability is still 108,000 miles behind me, and the number of resentful spirits at this stage is not a few, so that in less than a few minutes, a large number of wanderers fell to the ground and cried for their fathers and mothers.
The Ice Flower was a glaring sight in these resentful spirits, as it was the only creature that was visually corporeal, and I saw it bite off the necks of two people in quick succession, and then lunge straight at me.
I wasn't worried about it attacking me, for I could also detect the energy within it and the connection I had made, just as closely as I had with the sentinels.
Sure enough, after Binghua ran to my side, she just leaned down and whined a few times, as if she were a warm big cat.
Now the forest is full of a large number of grudge spirits and wanderers fighting, and I see that more wanderers have begun to retreat, but this is still not the time to break through, because the situation in the forest has changed abruptly, although the wanderers who have temporarily burst in have begun to retreat, but the wanderers who are safe in the periphery will definitely report the situation, and it is impossible for Zhao Youkuang to give up the encirclement and suppression of the no-man's land like this.
Besides, no one knows when these resentful spirits will disappear, or when they will get out of control and turn to me, so I have to find a safer place for ourselves now.
I immediately shouted at the others below the entrance, "Look inside if there are any other secret passages or anything like that you can leave!"
But as soon as I said this, I knew that it was impossible, because Chenxi and Gochai had gone down with me just now, and if anything could be found, they would have found it long ago.
Well......
Where should I let my people hide?
I looked at the large number of resentful spirits around me, and said to myself that I should turn to the ...... from time to time Those ghosts?
I don't know if the ghosts are resentful spirits, or if they're one or the other, but I have a feeling that they should be able to hear my inner thoughts, as the source of energy in this no-man's land has now been replaced by me.
After waiting for less than half a minute, a third voice suddenly appeared in my ears, in addition to the roar of the ice flower and the voice of the resentful spirit, which was a meaningless snort, sounding like a child sobbing.
I hurriedly looked around, and soon fixed my eyes on another pile of dead grass behind the entrance, where I saw a small child squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, his body shaking.
I told the others to stay down, and I rushed over at a brisk pace.
As I expected, the moment I reached the child's side, he vanished in starlight, but he looked up at me as I approached, so that I could see his face.
This little kid is something I've seen before, or rather...... I saw it in a lucid dream.,One of the many children who were killed by the experiment with Qianqian.,This child I first saw it was in a continuous lucid dream scene after rescuing Yabu.,Although I don't know his name.,But because there were not many children in lucid dreams at that time.,I still recognized it at a glance.。
If nothing else, this child should belong to the Maine people in Burma, who acted with other adult Maines as a Gu Master before his death, and was later included in the test cohort by his own companions, and ended a tragic end.
In this way, the resentful spirits here belong to the deceased who have been humiliated and unwilling in their lives, and perhaps this is also a necessary condition for the birth of resentful spirits? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that most of these monsters I have seen have not had a good experience.
Similarly, will Qianqian also belong to this list?
The place where the child disappeared was a soft earth, much softer than the frozen ground around it, and I stood above it and stomped hard, and immediately from below there was a sound of the wall cracking, and then a two-man wide underground passage door was opened.
Looking inside, I found that the passage was very shallow, and the bottom was not at most three meters from the ground, but the air inside was very sober, and it seemed that people often went in and out, and I saw a lot of messy footprints with earth and stones at the entrance to the inner side of the passage, and a few cigarette butts that had just been extinguished at a glance.
Combined with the blood and fire marks I had seen earlier, I knew that someone must have escaped or hid in this passage, and that he ...... Or they should be living people in the true sense of the word, and it is very likely that they are also a team of semi-infected people rescued by the people of Taoyuan Island.
Such passages are usually dug as emergency escape routes, which means that this passage must be able to lead to other locations far away from this place, which is just right for our requirements.
I hurriedly turned around and told the others to crawl out and follow me, but just as a group of people broke through the barrier of the resentful spirit and rushed to our side.
These people are not loiters, because it is impossible for loiters to have such strength now, and these people are actually ......
Voodoo hooded man!
This change was a bit too sudden, just now it was a life-and-death duel between us and the wanderer, and now in the blink of an eye, these weird hooded men have been added, which made me a little dazed for a while.
However, it was only for a moment that I was stunned, because the next moment I was shocked back to reality by the sound of earth-shattering artillery fire.
We only heard the sound of countless earthen artillery bombardment coming from the direction of the headquarters we had been to before, and even half of the sky was lit up.
I had been a little skeptical about the power of those earthen cannons, but now I had to succumb to their power, because I could feel the ground tremble even from such a distance.
My gaze quickly returned to the hooded men in front of me, who must have taken advantage of the chaos to shuttle in from the outskirts of the forest, there were four of them, each with their faces hidden behind the hoods, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
But I knew that even if I did, it would be just four expressionless masked faces.
The four of them raised their palms one after another, I thought they were going to cast Gu Fire, but since this cold area can suppress spiritual energy, it can also suppress the release of Gu Fire, although the Gu Fire Gun can be used reluctantly, but it is still unrealistic to rely on the limited anger of manpower to ignite Gu Fire out of thin air.
However, the four of them didn't want to cast Gu Fire, and the moment they raised their hands, I saw four can-like things thrown at me.
It wasn't a bomb, it was the kind of flashbang I had eaten when I encountered the Blue Jays near the Xiangning Ocean Park.
I immediately laughed, it didn't do anything to me.
The flaming magnesium powder from the flashbang burst into the air in front of me, but the glare from it didn't bother me, and I saw through the glare that the hooded men were drawing knives and slashing at me.
My mountain knife was already ready, and the two sharp blades in the front row were slashed back, how could their ordinary knife soldiers be the opponent of my mountain opening knife, and I slashed "two", and the two blades broke from the air, and I wiped off the necks of the two hooded men.
The two hooded men in the front row fell to the ground so fast that before the other two people behind could react, I kicked them to the ground one by one.
"Are you from the Moon Spirit?!" I asked, snappingly.
Both of them were at odds, and one of them seemed to be cursing in Chinese.
Since they can understand me, I don't need to be polite, I stepped on the hearts of the two of them one by one and asked, "Say it quickly!"
Seeing that they were still unmoved, I simply stepped on my right foot hard, and the heart of the person on the right was directly stepped through by me, and then I kicked him out again, landing next to a few resentful spirits, but those resentful spirits didn't seem to be interested in these hooded men, and they simply turned a blind eye.
No wonder they were able to get through the encirclement.
I thought that the last hooded man would be frightened by me, but when he saw this, he appeared like he was desperate to fight back against me, in order not to delay time, I had to stab this person to death, and after the incident, I also wanted to try to see if I could take off their "mask", after all, I just heard Chinese, so I wonder if it will be some people pretending, but under my inspection, I found their "mask face" Exactly like the voodoo members I've seen before, they don't wear masks, but their faces themselves become masks.
If I want to pull off the mask, I will have to cut off their faces.
It only took me a minute to kill the four hooded men, and then I swept around again, and no more hooded men appeared.
But the shouts of killing from the command headquarters rang out, and it seemed ...... The voodoo offensive has actually begun!
The speed of this progress is even more surprising than the sudden appearance of the four hooded men in front of me just now, because even if the voodoo attacks are launched, it should be broken through from the periphery, not to mention the headquarters area inside the Qinhuai Mountains, even the outer layer of the Qinhuai Mountains has a large number of loiterer stronghold sentry, how could these voodoo people suddenly appear in the rear?
Well......
It is unlikely to be a large-scale voodoo frontal attack, but more like some "undercover" operatives who were already hiding in the mountains like the semi-infected.
It's so much of a movement...... Could it be that all the hidden semi-infected people in the vicinity have been dispatched?
When I was fighting just now, the other people underground also saw and heard, and when they saw that I had eliminated the four hooded men, Gochai asked me to drag down a corpse to show him.
I immediately did so, and I stripped the hooded man of his clothes, only to see that except for the deformation of the mask on his face, the rest of his body was exactly the same as that of a normal person, which was indeed in line with the characteristics of the voodoo hooded man I had seen before.
However, Gochai's purpose was not to look at this person's body, but he quickly took out a knife and disemboweled this guy, and there was no internal organs flowing out of my expectation, but instead there were streams of black gas and some white mist mixed in with it.
The concentration of this mist is much thicker than that of psionic energy, and it is clearly characteristic of cold qi.
"See?" said to me, "These people aren't supported by psionic energy, I'm afraid they've been lurking here for a long time!"
I was shocked, could it be that the previous blood stains and cooking fire traces were actually left by these people?
They've been hiding in it for a long time, just like the half-infected?
That's not right!
Semi-infected people are counted, but how did these foreign voodoo members break through the siege and get here?
Then Amy suddenly threw the disembowelment man's hood to me, and I took it and looked at it, and found that it was not a hood at all, but a rag of clothing that had been wrapped in a hood and turned into a hood, and I found a small earthen gun inside the hood.
