"Xiao Hei! Don't run."
As we continued to study the photos, a loud cry from a crow interrupted my discussion with Lao Jiang.
It turned out that Xiao Hei, who was still hovering in the fog just now, suddenly pierced in one direction at extremely high speed, leaving behind a series of chirping sounds.
"Did it foresee danger?" Lin Qiusheng stepped forward and asked.
The crow shook his head: "No, it just found traces of living people and is telling us to follow them quickly."
His expression was excited, and he patted the camel and led us the way, but Lao Jiang was obviously not as optimistic as him, and his eyes were full of caution.
We followed Xiao Hei all the way, and not long after, we heard the faint sound of rustling footsteps in the thick fog in front of us.
"Shh! Don't move!" Lao Jiang made a calming movement to make us all stop.
Everyone immediately held their breath.
Lao Jiang's ears moved slightly, as if he was listening carefully. After a while, he said: "One is normal, and the remaining three are injured."
Yin Ling'er wanted to ask about the specific situation, so I covered her mouth.
The enemy and friend are currently unknown, but they must not be exposed!
"Thirty steps."
"Twenty steps."
"Ten steps."
Lao Jiang's expression became more and more serious, and each of us became more and more nervous, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Five steps, they're coming!"
"Raise the gun!"
Following the order, Lao Jiang and I, as well as Lin Qiu Sheng behind us, raised our guns at the same time. He Lanxue also put his fingers on the hilt of his sword, ready to deal with any sudden crisis.
However, what we didn't expect was that this time, maybe by luck, the people who came out of the mist were actually Shen Xiaoyu and the others.
Our companions who were searching so hard just met us on a narrow road!
This was the first time I saw Shen Xiaoyu looking so embarrassed. There was a wisp of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, his sunglasses were half broken, and his originally handsome and clean face was covered with sand.
At this time, Shen Xiaoyu was helping a dying person move forward, and that person turned out to be another Black Sword Qilin: Bald!
Behind them there were two Qilin members supporting each other, each with injuries, and the situation didn't look very good.
Lao Jiang took a deep breath and asked in surprise: "How did you do this?"
Shen Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then cursed dejectedly: "Damn it, I don't know, I can't get out even if I'm walking..."
Lao Jiang frowned almost invisible, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Shen Xiaoyu: "Here, take a slow puff."
Shen Xiaoyu took it and took a deep breath: "There is fog everywhere here, and there are monsters hidden in the fog."
Then he threw away the cigarette butt: "It's too late to say so much. I know the way out. Come with me quickly."
"The fog behind us is chasing us. Once caught by it, none of us can escape."
The look on Shen Xiaoyu's face became more and more panicked, as if some unknown and terrifying monster was about to kill him at any time.
I subconsciously followed Shen Xiaoyu and blurted out: "What on earth is it that makes you all lose?"
Shen Xiaoyu looked horrified: "The real owner of this desert."
I swallowed and looked at Lao Jiang, only to see Lao Jiang standing motionless while Crow looked at the sky with a confused look on his face.
It turns out that Xiao Hei is still flying forward!
Logically speaking, Xiao Hei should stop after finding a living person. But it had no intention of stopping. Instead, it seemed to be looking in the direction where Shen Xiaoyu and others had escaped.
The crow thought that Xiao Hei had lost control and even whistled to call him back.
Xiao Hei, however, didn't care and focused on getting into the fog.
Sensing the abnormality, I couldn't help but stop, but Shen Xiaoyu was still exaggerating the horror behind it: "Why don't you leave? Don't you know that the fog can eat people?"
Lao Jiang smiled meaningfully: "Don't leave in a hurry, you are so seriously injured. There is water and medicine on the camel, at least let me and Ximei help you bandage your wounds."
Shen Xiaoyu was uncharacteristically: "What kind of wound are you looking at? I can still hold on. Let's go quickly. I can't drag you down."
"Okay, let's go!"
Lao Jiang uttered the last word, and the smile in his mouth became even more obvious.
The moment he and Shen Xiaoyu passed each other, he suddenly pulled out the black knife with lightning speed and struck out with lightning, splitting Shen Xiaoyu in half from shoulder to waist.
"ah!"
"Uncle Xiaoyu!"
Yin Ling'er screamed, and Lin Qiu Sheng also thought that Lao Jiang was possessed by evil spirits, and actually touched the gun with his hand. Only I seemed to realize something, and suddenly understood something.
He Lanxue was still sitting on the camel coldly, as if all this was within her expectation.
Shen Xiaoyu, who had been chopped in half, fell weakly to the sand. The moment he landed, his image blurred, and he turned into a humanoid monster with naked skin. Only his face was covered with exploding white hairs, like an ape. generally.
This... is clearly the kind of monster we encountered before!
"He is not Shen Xiaoyu." I said to myself.
Lao Jiang replied: "Of course he is not Shen Xiaoyu."
After the counterfeit Shen Xiaoyu was killed, the remaining counterfeiters all revealed their true colors in the fog. They turned out to be one large, two small, and three sprites with white hair on their faces.
Pairs of breathtaking green eyes stared at us in the fog, and then dispersed unwillingly...
Lao Jiang had no intention of chasing after him. I was afraid of falling into the trap of this thing. I picked up the bloody body on the ground and sighed: "It turns out that they are the culprits of everything!"
Lao Jiang put the black sword into its sheath, and his expression changed from his usual frivolous look: "No, everything is definitely not that simple! According to the behavior of these monsters, there is no way they can create such a big fog. They are just accomplices."
"There must be a more terrifying existence that secretly controls this area."
"It wants everyone who enters this area to be trapped in a death loop forever like the Sino-US joint expedition team, and will never be reincarnated! I even suspect that the distress signal is also a bait for it to attract outsiders."
After hearing Lao Jiang's words, I looked at the thick white mist, thoughtfully.
I don’t know when this heavy fog will dissipate?
I threw the sprite's body to the ground, and Lao Jiang said thankfully: "Fortunately, these beasts can only imitate its shape, otherwise we would have been fooled."
It turned out that Lao Jiang's initial offer of cigarettes was just a test. Shen Xiaoyu never smoked. He only loved eating small apples.
Secondly, Xiao Hei is still flying in, which means that the real living person has not escaped at all.
As for the third point, Lao Jiang told me: "Shen Xiaoyu is basically a lazy man. He has been deprived of food and water for so long. Even if you whip him, he will eat before running away."
In a place like this, you have to identify someone not only by their face, but also by their personality. You can change your skin, but you can't fake your behavior!
Seeing that Xiao Hei was flying faster and faster, we had no time to waste time here, so we all speeded up. After walking for about ten minutes, a small sand dune seemed to appear faintly in front of us, looming in the fog.
Lao Jiang immediately took the lead. When we got closer, we discovered that there were all kinds of desert equipment scattered in the Western Zhou Dynasty, as well as finished bullet casings.
I even saw at least five or six fresh corpses of foreigners!
Without exception, those people all wore cowboy hats, looked fierce, and had crosses tattooed on their arms, which was the symbol of ghosts.
"They are Warner's people!"
I said pointing to the body on the ground.
Lao Jiang made a cursory inspection and found that all the corpses had been shot in the head. His tone immediately became excited: "This is Shen Xiaoyu's marksmanship! They should have had a fierce battle here."
"Hurry, Shen Xiaoyu must be nearby."
Everyone continued to move forward, and soon they saw two people leaning on the sand dunes in the distance. One had long hair tied back, and a pair of large sunglasses hung on his face. There was a quilt under the sunglasses. Scars covered by dust.
The other was a bald man with a unicorn tattooed on his head.
These two people are clearly Shen Xiaoyu and Baldhead!
I saw dozens of yellow-orange bullets stacked at Shen Xiaoyu's feet, and a German-made Mauser 98K rifle resting on his shoulder.
The bald man held a black knife in his hand. The black knife was covered in red blood, which should be the blood of the enemy. There was also a radio guarding beside him.
In addition to this, I also noticed two strange figures on top of the dunes!
One is a short, fat old man with a snow-white goatee. He is sitting there with his eyes narrowed and scratching, looking very funny.
But there was a huge weapon box hanging on his back.
There are at least five or six kinds of weapons stacked in the box, including knives, swords, bows, whips, and things I can't name.
A cold weapon exudes a dazzling cold light, which should not be underestimated!
The old man didn't have the Qilin rank badge on his chest, but he was wearing the same black tunic suit as Lao Jiang and the others. I subconsciously searched for his waist. There was no black knife, only a wine gourd, so I couldn't identify him at all.
Next to her is a girl in pink clothes who is about eighteen years old. This girl has bright eyes and white teeth. Her long snow-white legs take up two-thirds of her body. She has two ponytails on each side. Her eyes are indescribably smart. He beat the old man's legs repeatedly.
According to Qilin's rules, this should be the old man's apprentice, right?
The entire second Qilin team, including Shen Xiaoyu, was all injured, but this old man seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, unscathed.
And seeing him sitting on the sand dune, he must have been guarding the team from beginning to end.
I have attended many meetings in Qilin and seen many Black Sword Qilin, but I have never seen this strange pair of old man and girl.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder about the other party's identity.
Could it be... that he is the legendary god?
