Cultivation in the city

Chapter 42 Slingshot

"Xiaolou, what's going on?" Zhong Chu stammered.

Duan Xiaolou shook his head, indicating that he was not too clear.

On the contrary, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and looked obliquely forward thoughtfully.

A group of people resisted their fear and began to walk back. Some of the timid ones had already started to weaken their legs, and they barely moved forward with the support of their friends.

"Help! Someone is dragging me! Someone is dragging me!" A girl suddenly shouted.

When Duan Xiaolou walked over quickly, a black shadow just slipped past his eyes.

The speed of the shadow slipping away was not fast, at least Duan Xiaolou could clearly see its passing trajectory.

Duan Xiaolou looked at the direction where the shadow left and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Call the police, we'll wait for rescue!" Although it felt a bit fussy to call the police just after climbing a small hill, no one cared about this issue at this time.

"My phone has no signal!"

"mine too!"

"Whose phone can make calls?"

"I've tried it, but I can't get through..."

"I can't get through either..."

"..."

Fear and despair gradually spread among the crowd...

"Team Zeng, should we take action?" Deng Feng looked at the group of students worriedly and asked anxiously.

Team Zeng on the side was expressionless, but the eagerness in his eyes revealed his inner unrest.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Li has already gone to search. At this time, we can't startle the snake."

"But if this continues, they will be in danger!" Deng Feng said excitedly.

Team Zeng had a dignified expression, but his tone remained firm.

"hold on!"

Deng Feng looked a little angry, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only walk around in circles.

At this moment, there was another scream from among the students. Deng Feng subconsciously wanted to run over there, but after lifting his legs, he froze in place again.

She looked at Captain Zeng as if asking for help, but he didn't even give her a look.

"Wait a little longer." Team Zeng's voice was not loud but firm, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Deng Feng or himself.

"Chen Yan, what do you think of that black shadow?" Duan Xiaolou asked Chen Yan in a low voice.

"It's just a mystery." Chen Yan said with some disdain.

Duan Xiaolou nodded and seemed to share the same feeling.

Among a group of trembling people, Chen Yan and Duan Xiaolou's calm manner of speaking was particularly eye-catching, so everyone's eyes couldn't help looking at them, as if they had found their backbone.

Everyone looked at Duan Xiaolou a little strangely, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The originally tense atmosphere was slightly relieved by his silly and cute reaction. Some people probably saw that he was too calm and a little strange, so they couldn't help asking: "Duan Xiaolou, do you know what that black shadow is? Or do you have it?" What's a good way to deal with it?"

"Strictly speaking, the black shadow should be a kind of energy. I can't tell what it is. I have something that can attack it. Wait a minute. I'll look for it." Duan Xiaolou buried his head in his backpack I rummaged through it.

Hearing Duan Xiaolou said that he didn't know what it was, everyone around looked desperate. When Duan Xiaolou said that he had a weapon to attack it, everyone rekindled their hopes.

They looked at Duan Xiaolou expectantly, only Zhong Chu, who was more familiar with Duan Xiaolou, faintly felt that things might not be as they expected.

As for Chen Yan, he remained indifferent from the beginning to the end, as if neither the girl's scream nor the strange shadow could move him.

Sure enough, as Zhong Chu expected, Duan Xiaolou searched in the bag for a long time, and finally took out a slingshot.

That's right, it is the kind of slingshot that children play with, made of tree branches, in the shape of a "ya", with rubber bands tied at both ends, and a leather block wrapped around a projectile is tied at the middle of the rubber band.

Everyone: "..."

When you are so serious, you took out a slingshot, are you sure you are not teasing us?

Even if your slingshot looks more advanced, so what if it is carved with hollow patterns and reliefs?Even if you take out a slingshot made of agarwood at this time, we will never be moved!

The black shadows in the dense forest seemed to be laughing at Duan Xiaolou's stupidity, the branches were rattled by the wind, and the black shadows cast by the trees trembled even more.

Zhong Chu had the urge to help his forehead, and he did.

Duan Xiaolou glanced at the others inexplicably, holding the slingshot in one hand and the projectile in the other.

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone form a circle, girls are inside, boys are outside, if you feel tired, you can squat on the ground to rest."

Duan Xiaolou wanted to let those with poor physical strength sit down, but thought that there are more mosquitoes on the mountain, even on the trails where people come and go, there may be many insects, so he changed his mouth.

Although everyone didn't think Duan Xiaolou's slingshot could play a big role, but after being nervous for so long, it did take a lot of mental energy.They were worried that someone would be attacked when they walked back, so they dared not continue. In this way, resting in place like Duan Xiaolou said was the best choice.

Some with poor physical strength squatted on the ground immediately, while others looked around vigilantly, trying to find traces of the strange black figure.

Duan Xiaolou also stared intently. He didn't know how long it would take for the black shadow to act. Maybe he just had to wait a little longer. Maybe the other party was very alert and would not act again throughout the night.

But instead of continuing to walk back when everyone's nerves are tense, it's better to repair it first and then make plans, not to mention that he still has Chen Yan, the trump card killer, which is useless. With this fire, how can these monsters be presumptuous? reason?

After a while the black shadow still did not appear.There are so many mosquitoes at night in summer, and the mountains are colder than usual, gradually some people can't bear it anymore.

Some girls began to sob softly, and some began to chant words such as "Master Guanyin, if you come to the Buddha to bless you".

At this moment, one flashlight suddenly went dark, followed by a chain reaction, and the other flashlights also became darker and darker.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Mom, I'm so scared!"

"Who will save us?"

……

Duan Xiaolou was unmoved at all, he looked around calmly.

However, the other party seemed to be more patient than he expected, perhaps considering that it would be more beneficial for him to turn off all the flashlights on their side, until one flashlight was completely turned off due to insufficient power, the other party did not take any action.

As the flashlight was turned off, the trembling crowd screamed one after another as if a pot had exploded.Duan Xiaolou looked at this group of people with some headaches, and felt that his brain was hurt by their noise. You said that girls screamed, so why are you screaming at the top of your throat?

Reluctantly, he reached into his backpack again, fumbled for a long time, and finally took out something like a kerosene lamp.

Zhong Chu has the urge to touch his forehead again. At this time, what's the use of taking out a small lamp?How bright can this light be?It is estimated that it is not as bright as the flashlight of the mobile phone, let alone the durability.

He began to think about how much power his phone had left. The flashlight of the phone consumes too much power.

Duan Xiaolou didn't pay any attention to other people's opinions, he blew on the air vent above the small light with his mouth, and the light turned on, Duan Xiaolou turned the knob on the side of the light, and the small light gradually turned on Up, in the end, it was like a super big fifty-watt light bulb, illuminating the surroundings clearly.

This unscientific!

At this moment, everyone thought of this sentence in unison.

Zhong Chu touched the small lamp that Duan Xiaolou took out, and it didn't have much heat, and it felt different from ordinary lamps.

Duan Xiaolou put the waiter in Zhong Chu's hand and said, "Stand in the middle of the crowd and raise the lamp a little higher."

Zhong Chu obeyed obediently.

Probably because of the bright light, everyone's mood calmed down a little, and they were no longer as excited as before.

"How long will this light last?" Someone asked worriedly.

Duan Xiaolou thought for a while and said, "I haven't tried how long it can be used, but it will definitely be fine tomorrow morning."

This is a small toy he made when he was idle and bored. Since it was useless, he put it in his bag all the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

After hearing Duan Xiaolou's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had been frightened all night, and now they finally have good news.

While the others were relaxing, Duan Xiaolou was still watching his surroundings nervously.

What he said just now was of course an answer to a classmate's question, but more importantly, it was for Heiying.

If the other party doesn't believe him, they will definitely wait for the right time. After dawn, the other party's advantage will no longer exist, and the threat will not be so great.And if the other party believed him, he would not let him wait for too long, so he had to concentrate and beware of accidents that might happen at any time.

Sure enough, the other party didn't make him wait too long.

Just when everyone was full of hope and waiting for rescue or dawn, a black shadow like a vine approached the crowd quietly. Because of the cover of the shadow, when the opponent approached, there was no gap at all, until someone felt the unusual pull. called out.

Zhong Chu immediately shone the light in his hand in the direction of the sound. Although the reaction of the other flashlights was half a beat slower, they were still quick.

Under the strong light, the black shadow had almost nothing to hide and could only flee in a hurry.

At this time, Duan Xiaolou, who had been prepared for a long time, pulled the slingshot and shot out the fiery red projectile.

The projectile hit the shadow accurately!

At first, everyone thought that even if they hit, the black shadow would not react, but they didn't expect the black shadow to shake violently.

At the same time, a tragic scream came from the distant woods. The sound was extremely shrill, and it was particularly penetrating in the dark night.
