Chapter 18: The Black Figure
"Have we all been walking for so long since we entered the village?"
Zhou Wuchang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses from a blank expression, and muttered to himself, "Yes, where is there such a big village, according to our speed, even Nanli City should have crossed it a long time ago." ”
"Maybe the road we thought we were walking is not the road. Gu Juan groaned and said something that made people feel very awkward.
"I don't know, Gu Dart Master is very experienced, and what he said must be very reasonable. At this time, Zhou Wuchang was about to lose the ability to think independently, and the whole person was at a loss.
Gu Juan sighed, a pair of eyes flashed in the dark, and suddenly regretted leaving Xu Yuan's fool, at least beside that guy, there were Luoshang and Tengyuan, and the two palace guards were on the side, they were masters of cultivating internal breath, and if they really encountered the situation, it must be much better than now.
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, he quickly reined in his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it won't be effective to continue walking, now there are two other options, first, we will stay here and wait for help, or the second ......"
Gu Juan raised his hand and pointed to the houses on one side, "Or let's change our minds, instead of taking this dirt road, we will pass through these houses." ”
"Through?" Zhou Wuchang was dumbfounded, almost dropping his knife on the ground.
"Yes, the walls of these houses are not very strong, and in some places they are just thin layers of adobe that can be easily broken through and we can smash the walls in a straight line. ”
"Then, Master Gu, how do you think you should choose?"
Captain Zhou, are you going to hand over your command so easily and let a dart master lead the team?
As soon as he crossed into this world, he directly led a team of executioners to run to the annihilation, is it going to repeat the same mistake so soon......
A series of gloomy thoughts flashed in Gu Juan's heart, and he didn't directly answer Zhou Wuchang's question, but changed the topic and said, "Zhou Wuchang, have you found that you are very easily tired?"
"Master Gu is right, I have long felt that my legs and feet are a little sore, and my hand holding the knife has begun to weaken. ”
A group of soldiers around him interjected, "Yes, yes, I usually start to feel tired after running like this for a long time, but now it's only been a while, and I feel so tired that I can't do it." ”
Gu Juan nodded, and threw out another question, "If you feel it carefully, is it true that even if you stop here to rest, your physical strength has not been recovered, but has been consumed?"
This question was much more difficult than before, and Captain Zhou and the soldiers stopped for a while before they nodded with gloomy faces.
"That's it. Gu Juan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled again, "You can't stick here and wait for help, I suspect that the longer you stay here, the faster your physical strength will be consumed, until we all become dead fish on the blade, and we don't have any ability to fight back." ”
"Therefore, we must break the routine and find the possibility of breaking the situation from the impossible, even if there is no road ahead, then we must cut a way!"
Everyone fell into deep thought, but only one soldier suddenly asked in a trembling voice, "Gu Dart Master, what if we break the house and smash the wall too much, and provoke the enemy who has been hiding all along?"
Gu Juan grinned, revealing a cruel smile, "This brother is a good question, to be honest, I am not afraid that the enemy will appear, I am afraid that I will continue to dry up like this, and finally consume us all into fish and meat on the board!"
Zhou Wuchang was also ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I am not afraid of the enemy who can be cut and killed, the big deal is that the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and he is clearly killed, I am afraid that this kind of invisible and untouchable enemy, in the end, I don't even know how to die, and the ten of us will follow what Gu Dart Master said, break the wall and penetrate the house!"
Captain Zhou and all the soldiers had already regarded Gu Juan as the backbone, and at this time, the whole team miraculously recovered their bloody courage.
Next, Han Xiong, the tallest man in the team and carrying a war hammer, became the main force in the team.
Han Xiong, who looked stupid, swung the sledgehammer in his hand again and again, dealing with these walls was comparable to an excavator, and with the assistance of Gu Juan from the side, he kept using an axe to help him widen the passage, and in a short time, he smashed through two rows of courtyards, creating a passage full of violence.
Gu Juan and a sword and shield hand were divided into left and right, supporting Han Xiong's side, followed by other soldiers holding guns and knives, Zhou Wuchang was holding a long bow and short knife, and after the whole team used Han Xiong as an arrow, formed a triangular battle formation, and walked all the way along the broken passage.
Along the way, they saw all kinds of bloody and terrifying corpses in different rooms, and after seeing too much, almost everyone was numb, but they would inadvertently let out a sigh, it turned out that people can still have such a variety of ways to die, it is really an eye-opener.
With the progress of smashing through the wall and smashing the house, Gu Juan's heart settled down a little, thinking that he had broken the obstacle in the mountains and forests with the first-level jungle knife and successfully came to the outside of the mountain, and now that the jungle knife has been promoted to the second level, can't he break the shackles of this barren mountain and wild village!?
Rumble!
Han Xiong gasped for breath, smashed through an earthen wall with two hammers, and came to the street in the middle of the two rows of courtyards.
Gu Juan came out of the hole and was about to continue moving forward, but suddenly stopped, looking at the room in front of him with a shocked expression.
"Master Gu, what's wrong?" Captain Zhou and the other soldiers gathered around and looked at Gu Ju's gaze together.
A dozen steps away is a small two-story building.
The wooden door on the back wall of the first floor of the small building has been shattered, just enough for everyone to pass.
"Hey, there's a hole in the back door of this wall, which just saves me the effort of the hammer. ”
Han Xiong wiped the sweat from his face and laughed.
"Yes, in such a strange and dangerous place, it is best to save a little effort, lest you not even be able to raise your sword when you finally encounter an enemy. Zhou Wuchang didn't see the enemy appear, and he was also greatly relieved.
Gu Juan frowned and looked at the broken wooden door, and always felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he motioned to the rest of the team to be on guard, and he held the jungle knife tightly and stepped into the door carefully.
Well!?
Gu Ju's pupils shrank sharply to the size of a pinpoint, staring at a hunched black figure in the middle of the room.
Click!
Without hesitation, the Patrolman's axe swung out, slashing at the opponent's neck like lightning.
"Remembering ......"
At the moment when the sharp axe fell, the black figure actually spoke.
But before he could say a word, his neck was cut off with an axe, his head flew high, hit the wardrobe next to him, and rebounded to Gu Ju's feet.
The head that had lost its body was still opening its mouth to speak, but its voice was getting quieter and quieter until it was gone.
Gu Juan wiped away the blood that splashed on his lips, looked down at the dead face, and then looked at the headless corpse that was still motionless a few steps away, and his face became more and more gloomy.
The head was at Gu Ju's feet, the man's hair was all open, his eyes were bulging, and he stared at Gu Juan, as if he wanted to imprint him deeply into the depths of his eyes.
