Faraway Wanderers

Wen Kexing didn't know what the powder that Zhou Zishu spilled was, but he didn't ask, as if he knew in his heart that this person was reliable, so he stood quietly beside Zhou Zishu, and for a moment, only heard a rough The panting sound of the animal was slowly approaching, the animal seemed to be careful about something, walked not fast, and then passed about three feet away from the two of them.

It was a big guy, it looked like a dog, but it was as big as a pony, with black fur all over its body, and there was a "wheezing, wheezing" sound from its nose, and there seemed to be a fishy smell in the air. It slowed down, Sniffing around, seems a bit confused.

Zhou Zishu folded his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the wall, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.

But there was a faint smile on Wen Kexing's face, that smile was cold and fleeting, as if it had never appeared before.

The monster was not far away, but they didn't notice the existence of the two of them at all. After staying there for a while, they continued to walk forward. The four eyes of the two of them watched the back of the big guy without blinking. Seeing it followed the smell of blood, it walked all the way to the corpses of those monsters, sniffed it, then let out a low growl, then lowered its head, and began to chew happily - it really bit off the head of a humanoid monster in one bite.

Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu looked at each other, Zhou Zishu was secretly startled, although he was not a master, but he has lived for so many years, after all, he has seen a lot, and he would never even admit a human skull, he thought to himself, could it be that monster Really people?

But how could a person become like this?

Wen Kexing poked him and pointed to the path behind him. Zhou Zishu nodded and followed him carefully.

The road was wide and narrow at times, and after turning many turns, Wen Kexing said in a low voice, "There are other tooth marks on the bones left over from the beast's food. You said those things in the water are Did you eat your own kind?"

When he was not talking nonsense, his voice was extremely low, like a sigh, but he didn't seem weak, as if he didn't want to use any more strength, with a slight indifference that had nothing to do with him, he paused, and asked again: " That thing is a human, right?"

Zhou Zishu glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Forgive me for being ignorant."

Wen Kexing chuckled: "Are you ignorant? Hey."

He didn't say anything, just strode forward.

I don't know how long I walked around, and turned a corner, but the fast-flowing "Yellow Spring" was in front of my eyes again, Zhou Zishu suddenly shouted: "Slow down."

Wen Kexing turned his head to look at him, and the look of wanting to be beaten and patted was restored on his face: "Brother Zhou, beauty, what's wrong?"

Zhou Zishu knew that he was going crazy when dealing with people, so he couldn't respond to him, otherwise he would push his nose more and more on his face, so he ignored him and let him yell, just said: "The things in the water are very powerful and fast. , and can come and go freely in the water, just now the beast walked on a dry road, and knew to stay away from the water, and watched it eat, but it was only on the shore and did not go to the water to hunt for food, how did you catch them?"

Wen Kexing paused for a moment, looked out, looked at the gloomy underground, didn't know if he was talking to himself or asked Zhou Zishu, and said, "How big is this place?"

Why is it as if there is no way to go to the end, no way to find the edge?

Zhou Zishu pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "This river runs from east to west. I just remembered the direction just now. Although we turned a few turns, we should go north-south..."

"You mean ghosts hit the wall?" Wen Kexing suddenly became excited, blinking his eyes, "I have also heard a story, which is said to be true. There is a person..."

Zhou Zishu turned around, turned his back to him, carved a mark on the wall behind him with his fingertips, and walked out along the weird river without saying a word.

Wen Kexing's ghost story was received coldly, but he was not angry, he rubbed his nose and smiled, and followed.

Suddenly, there was a roar of a ferocious beast, and the whole crypt seemed to vibrate with it. The roar was accompanied by a scream, the sound was so soft that it sounded like a child.

Zhou Zishu paused.

Then the child started screaming and crying loudly, getting more and more miserable.

Zhou Zishu immediately sprinted in that direction, his movement was extremely fast, and he went out for more than a foot in a flash. Wen Kexing was about to say something, but before he had time, his outstretched hand hung in the air, so he had to He swallowed the words back, shook his head, and chased after him.

I saw that under the paws of the dog-like monster was pressing a little girl, and its huge fangs were on the little girl's snow-white neck, and it was about to bite down. Zhou Zishu slapped it out, and he He actually has the ability to beat a cow from a distance, he hit the beast on the head, knocked its head off, and rolled its huge body to the side.

Then he hugged the little girl who was breathing weakly on the ground.

The big guy shook his head vigorously, as if he was a little dazed by the beating. After a while, he realized that Zhou Zishu had snatched the food from its mouth, and immediately roared and rushed towards him.

Zhou Zishu first subconsciously wanted to throw the little girl to Wen Kexing, but then he paused subtly, stepped on a strange number of steps, his figure was like a ghost, stepped back three or four feet away, and gently moved the girl The little girl put it aside, then flashed out to the other side.

The monster came with him, and the fishy smell in the open bloody mouth made people's brain hurt. Zhou Zi comfortably swept Lao Gao, and in a flash, he turned over and rode on the monster's neck.

Wen Kexing stood aside, glanced at the sobbing little girl expressionlessly, and then watched from the sidelines.

Zhou Zishu used a jackhammer to force the monster down. Who knew that the beast was also smart, and when it swayed to the side, it wanted to roll on the spot—follow it and roll it up. I'm afraid that the copper skin and iron bones will be crushed by this big guy who weighs more than a hundred catties.

Taking advantage of it falling sideways, Zhou Zishu immediately yelled softly, rolled over, and kicked the monster in the stomach.

Its back is full of muscles and bones, but its stomach is very soft. Zhou Zishu's kick almost knocked out its internal organs, and it screamed in pain. Zhou Zishu bit it. Its hind legs were strong, and it was very angry when it hurt. The pounce was extremely fast. Zhou Zishu was about to dodge to the side, but he might as well hold his breath, and he didn't raise his breath.

The sharp teeth of the monster were approaching, he pressed his chest with one hand, and bent his elbow with the other, desperately receiving its claws, leaning forward and hitting its nose with his elbow.The bridge of the nose of the monster snapped at the sound, but its sharp claws grabbed Zhou Zishu's left shoulder, and blood was seen immediately.

Zhou Zishu found that the monster's nose was actually a weak spot, so he ignored his wound, and slapped the monster's nose again with his backhand. Using its broken nose bone, his internal force directly shattered the bone on its forehead. With a crisp sound, the monster staggered back two or three steps and fell down.

Zhou Zishu frowned and stretched out his hand to seal the acupuncture point on his left shoulder to stop the bleeding. He wanted to use the water in the "Yellow Spring" to wash the wound, but he remembered the inhuman thing inside, so he gave it up and just listened to the warmth. Ke Xing let out a "huh" and asked, "Do you have internal injuries?"

Zhou Zishu turned his head to look at him, and said calmly: "Probably because I didn't eat enough at night, and my hands and feet are weak."

Then leaned over and picked up the little girl, patted her on the back, and asked softly: "Whose family are you a child, why are you alone in such a ghostly place?"

When Wen Kexing heard him say this, he immediately sneered and said, "Little girl? Why is a little girl here? Why don't you ask where she is. She's so good, what are you doing to save her?"

The little girl didn't say a word, and went straight into Zhou Zishu's arms.

Zhou Zishu didn't ask any more questions, but only said to Wen Ke: "Accumulate virtue and do good deeds."

Wen Kexing moved his eyes down, stared at his bloody shoulders thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you didn't paint your shoulders too, it's too different from your hands, face and neck, but I saw it." .”

Zhou Zishu paused for a moment, then said briefly, "It's in the sun."

Wen Kexing said with a smile: "That's right, this is the first time I've heard that a beauty with icy skin like snow can turn out dross-like dishes in the sun."

The words "ice muscles are like snow" successfully made Zhou Zishu shiver. He lifted the little girl up and was about to speak. Suddenly, his eyes swept down to the ground, and he saw a very strange scene—that A small tree grew out of the body that looked like a vicious dog, and the tree was glowing...full of peach blossoms!

Wen Kexing followed his gaze, and his face immediately changed.

Zhou Zishu didn't have the energy to care about other people's changing faces. He stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the growing peach tree. There seemed to be an unknown fragrance of flowers in the air. The corpse of the vicious dog It had long since disappeared, the peach blossoms bloomed as if they had absorbed some energy, and they were extremely prosperous, covering a large area in an instant - as if he could touch it with just stretching out his hand.

There is a man standing under the peach tree.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full lips that always seemed to be smiling, his shoulders were covered with peach blossom petals, he stretched out his hand indifferently, his lips moved, Zhou Zishu saw that he was clearly Say—brother.

Jiuxiao...

At that moment, Zhou Zishu's heartbeat seemed to stop.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his injured shoulder, and Zhou Zishu snorted unexpectedly. He looked down and saw that the little girl in his arms opened her mouth and bit his wound fiercely.

Zhou Zishu almost instinctively used his internal force to bounce her away, and when he came back to his senses, the peach blossom tree and the man under the tree were gone—the gloomy crypt was still in front of him, and the corpse of a huge black-haired monster lay horizontally Underground, alongside the pile of bones they had examined earlier.

The little girl who was thrown by him let out an inhuman roar, and he looked intently, where was the little girl? It was clearly a little monster in the water!

The little monster opened its mouth and roared at him, greedily staring at his bleeding wound, eager to pounce on him again, when suddenly a slender hand stretched out from the side, pinching its neck, the little monster didn't even struggle Before he had time to struggle, his neck was twisted and he kicked his legs to death.

With a smile on the corner of Wen Kexing's mouth, he casually threw the little monster's body aside, and said nonchalantly, "I know why these things in the water are afraid of being like that, and come ashore to be eaten by monsters. It seems, It’s not just the two of us who have followed the path.”

Zhou Zishu seemed to be exhausted, and said with a wry smile: "So we were going around in circles just now, did we come back to the original place?"

Wen Kexing looked at him and said, "Can you still go? I can carry you behind my back...well, I can hold you, as long as you let me see your face."

Zhou Zishu laughed dryly: "Thank you, no need."

He covered the wound on his left shoulder, gathered all his energy, and continued walking along the "Yellow Spring". He suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Just now I saw grass and flowers growing on that monster's body. A bunch of dog tail flowers are still jumping and singing, what do you see?"

Wen Kexing walked behind him and said, "I saw an owl—I'll tell you, hearing an owl laugh is not a good sign, sure enough—I also saw a person holding a bowl of red water in his hand, and then Owl knocked over..."

When Zhou Zishu shut up, he himself said nonsense, and it was fair for the other party to reply with nonsense.

He walked in front without looking back, and he didn't see Wen Kexing's expression at that moment - the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to have been frozen there for a long, long time, his eyes were empty, staring at the ground, as if staring at a very distant place. Far away, seeing that Zhou Zishu was impatient to listen to his ghost story about owls again, he swallowed his words and followed him silently.
