"It's okay." Kong Yuhui's face remained unchanged, "Go on, it's just a corpse monkey."
Only then did Ouyang Qing breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at the others.
"Don't worry, the corpse monkey has a territorial scope. The territory of a corpse monkey is usually dozens of miles away. After the corpse monkey was injured by Senior Brother Kong, it will not come again."
"Does that mean we won't meet again for a while?" Shi Lei, the brother of the Shi family, asked in a low voice.
"It should be, but we need to be more vigilant." Ouyang Qing nodded.
Lin Xin looked around the cemetery while they were talking. Indeed, as stated in the mission information, the desolation is almost lifeless, and even the sound of insects is rarely heard.
Kong Yuhui took the lead, and the group walked around the cemetery, and soon stopped in front of a forest of mangrove leaves.
He looked up at the large red leaves above.
"That's right here. The blood-blood birds should fall around the blood-leaf trees. We need to make some preparations here."
According to the arrangement on the road, the remaining six people started to check whether there were any hidden dangers nearby, and at the same time sprinkled the powder distributed by the task to disperse the beasts around them.
Standing under the blood forest, Kong Yuhui took out a small packet of dried insect powder from his pocket, and sprinkled them on a few places that were easy to see right under the mangrove.
After finishing everything, everyone quickly called it a day and retreated in the direction they came from.
Back in the town, everyone is doing business as usual, resting and practicing, practicing practice.
Lin Xin also returned to the room by himself, crossing his legs to circulate his internal energy.
After practicing for a while, just after completing one cycle, he felt a little urgent to urinate, so he got up and went out, looking for the nearby latrine. I have already figured out the terrain here before, and there is a separate hut for men and women here. Although it has been a long time and there is almost no smell in it, it is not good enough, but it can still be used.
The sun was shining brightly, even a little dazzling.
Walking through the corridor, just as Lin Xin entered the hut, he vaguely heard someone talking on the partition wall not far away.
The voice seemed to be Shi Kun and Shi Lei, the brothers of the Shi family.
With a slight movement in his heart, Lin Xin quietly leaned against the wall and listened.
"... Really think I can't kill him?" Shi Kun said angrily.
"Don't forget our purpose this time." The calmer Shi Lei said lightly. "Keep your voice down."
"Small fart! That guy Kong Yuhui, really thought I didn't see him at four o'clock last night?" Shi Kun said extremely annoyed, "If he wants to swallow that thing all by himself, it depends on whether he has the ability...!"
"Enough! Keep your voice down!" Shi Lei's voice became severe.
The voices of the two suddenly became much lower.
Lin Xin remembered that the other side of the wall happened to be where the Shi family brothers lived, and he was a little puzzled. He changed to a hidden location and continued to eavesdrop.
The voices were rustling over there, and they didn't know what they were doing. The two brothers seemed to keep their voices low on purpose.
After more than ten minutes, the voice gradually returned to normal.
"... How about him, we.... go again at four o'clock... work together..." The voice became farther and farther away, and it seemed that the two brothers gradually walked away.
Lin Xin squatted in a corner of the wall, huddled in the grass, and gradually heard no sound, and then prepared to get up.
Suddenly he felt someone touch his back.
"who!"
He looked back, but there was nothing behind him, and the sun shone brightly through the grass. Just an eerie silence. There are not even insects in the grass.
Turning around, he got up and held the hilt of the sword. For some reason, he always felt as if someone was staring at him behind him.
"Perhaps leaves and branches?" he guessed.
The voices of the Shi family brothers had completely disappeared, and there was only a slight sound of wind around them.
Lin Xin felt his scalp tingling, he looked around quickly, and slowly left the grass. Go to your own residence.
On the corridor going back, he saw Ouyang Qing walking towards him.
She seemed to be taken aback when she saw Lin Xin.
"Junior Brother Lin."
"Senior Sister Ouyang." Lin Xin responded politely.
"You are always vigilant." Ouyang Qing's eyes fell on Lin Xin's hand that had been holding the hilt of the sword, with a hint of appreciation on his face.
"I was attacked before, so I had to do this." Lin Xinyan said concisely, "Since I met my senior sister, it's just right. I want to ask you about that corpse monkey."
Ouyang Qing smiled.
"By the way, junior brother, you probably haven't been to the task stone wall many times, so you probably don't know the corpse monkey very well."
She reached out and brushed the bangs on her forehead, and pressed her index finger on the veil that was blown a little by the wind.
"The corpse monkey is not something we can deal with alone. A corpse monkey is equivalent to the level of the second to third level of Xiaogui Yuanjue like me. If the younger brother encounters it alone, it is best to stay still and call for help, and concentrate as much as possible Guard yourself well. After all, even Senior Brother Kong and I are no match for Corpse Monkey one-on-one."
"So powerful?" Lin Xin was taken aback. He had seen Kong Yuhui repel the corpse monkey with a sword earlier, and he thought that thing would not be Kong Yuhui's opponent alone.
"That's right. The corpse monkey comes and goes like the wind, and it's very poisonous, so it's very difficult to deal with. Anyway, junior brother, just be careful and don't leave alone." Ouyang Qing smiled, "I'm sorry."
"Okay." Lin Xin watched as Ouyang Qing passed through him and walked towards the female latrine.
After a pause, he quickly returned to his room.
This time, everyone did not get together to eat, but separated their own dry food. There was everyone’s dry food on the carriage. When Lin Xin went to fetch it, no one else came. He heated the clean water he brought with the bonfire. I ate it with dried meat and bread.
The noodles and jerky were very hard, and the taste was only slightly salty, and the water was a bit stuffy, but there was nothing to be done about it.
Moreover, there is no small river near here, and no one dares to draw water from the only deep well.
After eating, when he went back to his room, he vaguely heard laughter coming from Jiang Yueer and Cheng Ruofei's room not far away.
"In such a nervous and weird place, I still have the mood to laugh." Lin Xin shook his head, ignored them, and went back to his room to continue resting.
Before I knew it, it was night again.
Around four o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Xin who was lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. Sit up slowly from the darkness.
He went to the window and looked out at the moon, which was right in the middle of the sky. On a rockery in the middle of the yard, a corona was carved. At this time, the moonlight fell, and the shadow of the pointer of the corona fell between three o'clock and four o'clock, which was very close to four o'clock.
"It's almost there." Lin Xin kept remembering what the Shi family brothers said during the day, and made up his mind to get up at night to take a look. This place is really weird, he always feels that the people in the team have their own concerns, and he is very worried, so he just took this opportunity to investigate.
Standing by the window, he slowly hid himself in the shadows, quietly looking at the yard outside the window.
The courtyard wall is high, if someone wants to go out, they will definitely choose the two courtyard gates at the front and back, and the place where they live is the closest to the main gate, so there is a great chance of choosing to go out from here.
As the time approached four o'clock, suddenly a black shadow flashed, and Lin Xin saw a shadow passing by the middle of the yard and ran out towards the gate.
He was about to go out when he suddenly saw two figures rushing out of the courtyard quietly.
"Brother Shi Family?" He narrowed his eyes, walked to the door lightly, and opened it. Only to find that the Shi family brothers had disappeared.
Walking out the door and standing in the corridor, he suddenly saw a black figure standing on his right side, looking at him quietly.
Lin Xin was sweating on his forehead, and the other party was standing outside the door. He didn't realize that if he was attacked just now, he would be really in danger.
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and confronted the shadow.
long time... .
The black figure turned around slowly and walked into the shadow of the corridor step by step.
He walked very slowly, very slowly, as if he was very tired, walking towards the invisible darkness step by step.
Lin Xinqiang resisted the urge to draw his sword, and looked at the courtyard. The Shi family brothers had disappeared. Judging by their lightness skills, he must not be able to keep up.
But this place is full of mysteries and weirdness, and it is necessary to find out the situation here as much as possible, the real purpose of Kong Yuhui and the Shi family brothers, otherwise he always feels that he may become cannon fodder at any time and be dragged away.
Looking at the figure slowly walking into the darkness, Lin Xin knew that he could no longer keep up with the Shi family brothers, so the figure in front of him was the only clue.
He gritted his teeth and followed slowly.
"Who are you?" he asked in a low voice.
The black figure was about to walk into the darkness, as if he didn't hear Lin Xin's question at all, and didn't say a word.
Lin Xin followed, and when he walked past Ouyang Qing's room, he looked inside, and there was a person lying inside, whose back was still facing him, and he couldn't see clearly.
After thinking about it, he knocked lightly on the door of Ouyang Qing's room.
bang bang...
The crisp knock on the door suddenly came to mind, and it seemed a little harsh in the quiet yard.
"Ouyang Qing is one of the strongest two in the team. I guess I can't handle it alone. Although she may have her own plans, she must find someone to take care of each other." Lin Xin had a thought in his mind.
"Junior Brother Lin?" Suddenly a voice came from behind him.
Lin Xin hurriedly turned his head and saw Ouyang Qing standing behind him, holding a sword and looking at him solemnly.
"Stop knocking, follow me!" Ouyang Qing whispered, and quickly followed the figure just now into the darkness.
Lin Xin was sure and quickly followed.
"Junior Brother Lin wants to know where Kong Yuhui and the Shi family brothers went at night, doesn't he?" Ouyang Qing whispered in front.
"They didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked out. What is the purpose? Is there still something we don't know about this mission?" Lin Xin also whispered.
"Of course it's for Yinxue." Ouyang Qing smiled lightly, and said calmly, "Kong Yuhui is like this, Shi family brothers are like this, not for Yinxue, who would rush so far to kill Yinxue Bird?"
She walked in front, and Lin Xin followed.
"Then what was that black shadow just now?" Lin Xin asked in the dark. He doesn't care about Yin Xue or anything, he only cares about whether he can go back safely from this mission.
"Black shadow? What black shadow?" Ouyang Qing was slightly taken aback.
"I just saw a black figure right in front of me. I walked slowly into the shadow, and I always felt a little creepy." Lin Xin replied in a low voice as much as possible.
