To my surprise, however, these semi-infected had only recently returned to the area, and according to them, they had been forced by the wanderers to temporarily avoid the search and go into hiding elsewhere three days earlier.
I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart that this time was before we received Zhao Youkuang's search order, which means that in fact, before we came to this no-man's land, the wanderers had already completely swept this place, otherwise it would be impossible for the semi-infected people here to escape in advance.
If you look at it this way...... Zhao Youkuang asked us to come here in the first place, and those wanderers who provided us with information in the no-man's land were also fake?
But now I don't understand what her true purpose is.
Do you want the resentful spirits here to kill me?
But I don't think it's that simple, because Zhao Youkuang has already tried to intercept and kill me once on the hanging platform, which shows that in her eyes, killing me doesn't need too cumbersome means, as long as it's hard, so ...... There must be other reasons why I'm here!
And the reason for this is obviously related to the cold glow behind me!
I immediately turned around and grabbed Mu Yun's collar and said, "Tell me quickly! What secrets does Zhao Youkuang have! What is the purpose of you trying to let me come here before!"
Mu Yun showed a pitiful expression and said, "Xiao Chen...... I know you're skeptical of me right now...... I understand...... But I swear to God! Zhao Youkuang didn't tell me all her plans...... Many of her own personal affairs are also something that I have no right to me...... I know...... ...... seen I've already told you about it!"
Although I don't believe that Mu Yun has completely confessed to me, if I think about it carefully, at least she shouldn't have lied about Zhao Youkuang's matter, because I remember very well that when we were going to no man's land, this Mu Yun actually didn't approve of us going, and even stopped us for a while.
I asked Mu Yun to roll to the back and be silent, and then I asked the man who kidnapped Mu Yun just now, "Then what's going on with all that cold air behind me?"
The man glanced at the large cloud of light behind me, and there was a clear look of surprise in his eyes, and then he asked suspiciously, "These energies...... Didn't you send it yourself? We rushed back because we saw the energy!"
I shook my head, and then I told me what I had just seen, and the man immediately waved his hand and said that this kind of energy had never happened in the forest before, and he was sure that there had never been a similar phenomenon in the entire Qinhuai Mountain Range, and this powerful energy aggregate, if it appeared, would definitely alarm the wanderers stationed in the entire mountain range, and it would not be calm.
"Have you ever seen a resentful spirit?" I continued.
You must know that in fact, except for the no-man's land here, before tonight, all the Qinhuai Mountain Range areas have not found any traces of resentful spirits, whether it is the words of the local wanderers here or the oral statements of the semi-infected people of the Holy Maiden Peak, this fact can be confirmed.
These resentful spirits really began to wander the entire mountain range like a hundred ghosts at night, and it was only yesterday that they began.
"Just heard of it. The semi-infected person who kidnapped Mu Yun immediately replied, "It should also belong to a type of Gu thing, right?"
As soon as I heard him say this, I knew that these half-infected people knew almost zero about resentful spirits, and this thing couldn't be the same as Gu things from any angle.
At that moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the cold air behind me, which sounded like the sound of a firecracker being lit in a basin.
Burst......
Bang!
Then a loud tearing scream erupted, and I saw countless humanoids gushing out of the cold air like fountains.
These people were holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and of course these "weapons" were also made up of illusory images, which I vaguely recognized
Here came the telescopic chain hooks, nail guns, and some cold weapons, and these were ...... It's a lot like the bounty hunters used to use it before.
When I first returned to land to rescue the semi-infected in the concentration camps, I had many confronts with bounty hunters, who were more "hunting" in their weaponry, meaning that the equipment they used was simply designed to capture the semi-infected.
And right now, these images turned from the cold are clearly those bounty hunters!
I reacted immediately, it seems that the cold energy behind me has begun to behave again after a short period of recovery, and this time the target of these cold qi is no longer me, but has become a lot of semi-infected people around me.
Seemingly...... The thing that these half-infected people feared most in their hearts was actually the bounty hunter, and as soon as these visions appeared, all the half-infected involuntarily retreated for a long distance, until I shouted hoarsely to them not to run, and then the half-infected person who took the lead stopped drinking.
"Don't panic!" I continued to shout, "These things are not real! They are not the bounty hunters who captured you! They are some illusions made of energy bodies! Don't be afraid! I have dealt with this kind of thing many times, they are nothing powerful, just beat them to death as human flesh punching bags! Try to pierce their bodies directly with a sharp blade!"
"These ...... Are these things ghosts?" asked a semi-infected in a trembling voice.
I couldn't muster up the courage to fight without giving them some real material, so I picked up my sword and slammed it into one of the nearest resentful spirits.
The resentful spirit showed signs of turning into a spider the moment it approached me, but its "transformation speed" was still too slow, and I slashed it from head to toe with a single sword, and then I saw it dissipate into a cloud of smoke in an instant, leaving only a puddle of thick water on the ground.
I turned back to the other half-infected and yelled, "See? If it's a ghost, can it still be slashed with a knife? Everyone, hurry up! Destroy the power source here! I'll take you to the new god! Remember, everyone! Don't use other tricks, just brute force!"
As soon as they heard the word "new god", these semi-infected people roared in unison as if they had been drugged, and then rushed towards the resentful spirits that had turned into cold light.
The scene was chaotic in an instant, because when these half-infected people rushed up to fight those resentful spirits, there were still many people who didn't hear my warning just now, and they were all trying to use the cold qi given to them to fight against those resentful spirits, and they were quickly knocked to the ground, and some of the half-infected people were even absorbed by the energy, turned into dry corpses and fell to the ground.
I hurriedly warned them not to mess around, and this was the only way to stabilize the situation for the time being.
At the expense of about seven or eight semi-infected, we were able to push the cold back, and now there was more water on the ground, and the source of the cold light in the middle had weakened again.
Judging from the situation just now, it seems that the cold source here can quickly recover energy in a short period of time, and from this point of analysis, it is actually somewhat similar to the self-healing ability in our body.
Since it can recover quickly, it means that we can't afford to delay now, otherwise it won't necessarily be like anything if we let it recover again.
What's more, if the layout here is really the same as the previous rooms, it means that there must be a hole under the stone platform, because usually there is a mezzanine below.
I gestured to the other semi-infected to gather around the cold source, and I could tell that these guys were still a little scared, after all, some of their companions had just been killed, but they did as I said because of the pressure of the new gods.
I didn't expect much help from them, so they surrounded this place, just to keep an eye on the corners I couldn't see.
At the same time, I also asked Mu Yun to continue to follow me, because those semi-infected people obviously didn't have a good impression of Mu Yun, and I was afraid that it would not be worth it if something happened to him when I was not paying attention.
Then I turned to the stout half-infected and asked, "This was a place of worship before, you know?"
The half-infected immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, but it was completely abandoned before!"
"Scrapped?" I frowned, "How do you know?"
"Because it's already dusty, no one has been here for a long time!"
"Is there a similar scene in other parts of the Qinhuai Mountains?"
"Yes!" replied the man without hesitation, "these facilities must have existed before the cataclysm, because the wanderers did not build any local area at all after entering Dongkou Province, and most of them occupied the existing supplies, and it was impossible for these lazy people to build such facilities that were useless to them." โ
I said in my heart that this man has a point, but this is ...... Who would have built these altar facilities?
Could it be that Voodoo taught himself? This also seems a little difficult to explain.
In addition, if there are more similar altar facilities in this Qinhuai Mountain Range...... Doesn't that mean that there are more sources of cold air appearing at this moment?
But I can't control that much now, I let the other semi-infected stare at all the anomalies around me, and then I approached the cold source for the second time with the mountain opener.
I felt that this source of cold qi was actually a little afraid of me, as soon as I got closer, the intensity of the cold light here suddenly weakened a lot, and I immediately took advantage of the situation to use a knife to slash down at the center of the cold light, that is, directly above the stone platform.
As soon as the blade fell, I felt a bone-chilling cold wind blowing towards me, and Duan Xiaoxiao's figure once again appeared in the cold air.
Merely......
She was with her eyes open this time!
But just from the eyes I can see that this is not Duan Xiaoxiao's body, not to mention that at this time, there are some extremely unreal illusionary lights flowing from Duan Xiaoxiao's body and body, as if she has been soaked in a floating liquid in the air, so that her face has some signs of deformation washed by the current.
"If you dare to do it, then we will kill her!"
Duan Xiaoxiao in front of him said by himself.
I'm still very conscious of my self-discernment, and although the voice is unreal, I know very well that it is transmitted through energy, because the voice is coming from my own head.
This function has always been unique to psionic energy, and even cold air can't do it.
I didn't expect this source of cold to threaten me!
Since this is a source of energy, it indicates that its essence is still a living being, and it has just spoken, then the scope can be further narrowed down and this source can be characterized as a human being of sound mind, at least ...... There is a human mind.
"That's good!" I naturally didn't dare to act rashly, but stopped the action of slashing with the knife in my hand, and said silently in my heart: "You let Duan Xiaoxiao go! I won't cut you!"
Then I paused again and added, "And there's another girl! Amy! She's an American! You're going to have to let her go!"
There was no response for a while, during which my eyes kept looking around, and I saw that the semi-infected were now looking at everything around them in a highly nervous posture, and the cold light emitted from the stone platform was actually continuing to weaken.
Then I finally heard the cold source respond, "Okay. โ
It wasn't until then that I realized that the sound of this cold source was very special, it sounded more like that kind of mechanically synthesized sound, and there was no gender distinction.
The reason why I didn't notice the problem at the first time was because I was highly nervous, and because the voice originally communicated directly with me through energy, so the strange tone didn't attract my attention.
But now I have to be wary, because even a sound that travels with energy should have a basic human timbre, and what the hell is this sound now?
At this moment, a semi-infected person who was next to him suddenly pointed to the corner of the stone platform and said, "There is something here!"
I hurriedly changed the angle to look that way, only to see that the corner of the stone platform was slowly raised, as if an invisible person was lifting the stone platform.
"Disperse first!" I waved as I motioned for the half-infected in the corner to step back.
Could it be that the source of cold qi is following the agreement we just made and sending Duan Xiaoxiao and Amy out?
I stared at the corner of the raised stone platform, just as I had just expected, there was indeed a hall of fame down there! It was empty, and the moment it was raised, more cold air leaked out of it, and this time the cold air was mixed with a bad air.
It's exactly the same as the scene that appeared on the Moon Spirit Illusion before!
"Ahem......" The semi-infected around them suddenly coughed en masse, and I realized that the cold air leaking from it was wrapping around them at a rapid speed!
