Chapter 440 Blood Sacrifice
Kou Jing and others were afraid of being shocked by the grass, so they could only hide in place. About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of digging the soil stopped, and then there was another rustling sound, as if they had poured the leaves on something.
.
After doing all this, with a sound of footsteps from far to near, a figure appeared in front of everyone. The man was indeed wearing Jiuzhu people's clothes, holding a hoe in his hand, and looked up from time to time with vigilance.
After he left, Kou Jing and others went to the place he had been to. There was an open space with rotten leaves piled up on the ground, which looked no different from when they came last time. Kou Jing picked it up
A branch was cut with a knife, and then he stabbed it everywhere. Others imitated his appearance when they saw this. Soon, someone found a place where the soil had just been moved.
After brushing off the fallen leaves, several people worked together to dig here with their swords. As soon as they dug them open, someone couldn't help but vomit. A large ball of blood and flesh underneath was blurred. The fishy smell came over the face with the smell.
Coupled with this unparalleled visual effect, it really challenges others' nerves.
Kou Jing endured the stench and used the branches to pick up the things underneath, and found that there were dead beasts inside. These beasts were terrifying in death, as if they had been abused before their death. The two of them on the top were still red in blood. I think it was
Just buried.
"These have been dead for three or four days, these have been killed for two or three days..." Qin Zhao has been a hunter and is naturally more familiar with these beasts. At this moment, he picked them out with a stick and according to the approximate death time code.
Together.
"The Jiuzhu people acted so strangely. They didn't eat the beast until they killed it, but only killed it and buried it?" someone said in confusion.
"Isn't it normal for a group of barbarians to do things weird? It's just a little disgusting." The soldier who had just vomited looked at the things on the ground with disgust, and wrote the resentment that made him look ugly on Jiuzhu people.
"It shouldn't be that simple." Kou Jing said, "I'm afraid General Wu and the others were bitten by poisonous mosquitoes here, which may be caused by these things."
Thinking of the tragic situation of Wu Chunlin and others, the person standing next to the pile of rotten corpses couldn't help but take a step back so as not to be bitten by the bug.
"But there are no poisonous insects here now. Do they still know when they should come out?" Qin Zhao searched everywhere, but found no poisonous insect, and asked in confusion.
Kou Jing also didn't understand this. Could it be that Jiuzhu people also know how to control insects? I only heard that people in southern Xinjiang like to play with insects. Could it be that this Yuexi Rebellion and the work of the people in southern Xinjiang are included?
It was impossible to think clearly for a while. They restored the scene, then quietly exited the forest, and carefully erased all the traces.
In the next two days, nothing happened. Kou Jing sent people to guard the intersection, without waiting for news about the Jiuzhu people. However, from the team of people stationed at the exit, the group of Jiuzhu people should have returned.
In this forest.
After midday that day, the people sent down the mountain brought a team of people back. They set up a stretcher and prepared to carry the group of seriously injured people back for treatment. Wu San's herbs can only temporarily relieve the itching of them, and the effect of the medicine will be over.
Powerless.
Those with abdominal pain were treated by an old military doctor who came with the team. He was originally from Lincang City and knew a little about treating miasma. He first took the pulse of the soldiers and then opened it in Wusan.
Based on the prescription, some medicinal materials were deleted and a few medicinal herbs were added.
After taking a few medications, the soldiers with unbearable abdominal pain finally stopped. The troops led by Wu Chunlin and Kou Jing were left with more than 100 people except for the seriously injured who were carried back for treatment. Wu Chunlin, the main general, was left with more than 100 people.
They were also carried back, and all the remaining people were commanded by Kou Jing.
Kou Jing gathered the people together. Just as he was about to deploy, he saw a soldier who had been sent to ambush in the edge of the dense forest. The man looked happy and immediately bowed to him when he saw Kou Jing. Before Kou Jing could shout, he
He said a call.
"You mean, the Jiuzhu people are here again?" Kou Jingteng stood up. The last time they went in a hurry, they couldn't help but startle the snake, so they didn't follow him. The whereabouts of Jiuzhu people have disappeared in the past few days, and he was about to send someone to go.
Look, but then there is news.
The soldier nodded: "Yes, and it's not just one person! There is also an old man dressed in strange clothes. He doesn't look like a Jiuzhu person!"
Kou Jing felt that this person should be a key figure and could not let him run away, so he immediately arranged for people to go to the dense forest. After arriving, he let the horses scatter into a surround to avoid letting them take advantage of the loopholes.
"General, those people are still inside. I heard the news that I must have dug out the things I buried last time!" The soldier who spoke looked disgusted. After he smelled the smell last time, he couldn't even eat dry food when he went back.
A few more days later this time, the smell...you can imagine it!
Kou Jing nodded and signaled everyone to continue to ambush. Then he took Qin Zhao with him and walked carefully. The fallen leaves piled up along the way, but there was no sunlight. When it stepped on, it was wet and sticky, accompanied by some rotten smell, which was disgusting.
However, because of this, their footsteps were covered up very well. At this time, they had touched a bush near the people, but they were not noticed.
Kou Jing looked in through the gap between the branches and leaves, and at first glance, he found the person the soldier just mentioned in the crowd. He had a cloth scarf tied to his head, and his body was extremely gorgeous, matching his face like dry orange peel.
, looks extremely weird.
The old man looked at the rotten corpse in the pit for a while, then took a branch and poked it in, frowned and seemed a little dissatisfied. The Jiuzhu man who came here last time looked embarrassed, as if he was explaining
What? The old man said a few words with a solemn face. His pronunciation was very strange, and Kou Jing and the others didn't understand a single word.
But the soldier closest to the Jiuzhu man seemed to understand. He looked pale and trembled all over. He stared at the old man, as if he had heard something particularly terrifying. The Jiuzhu man's actions had verified the previous one.
Kou Jing's guess.
He grabbed the man in front of him, pulled out a dagger and stabbed him on his neck. Blood spurted out. The man couldn't even make a wail, and was killed like that.
An evil intention surged in the old man's eyes. He threw the man into the pit and watched his blood slowly spread, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Then, he took the dagger from the Jiuzhu people and cut it hard on his wrist.
Qin Zhao beside Kou Jing was shocked and said in anger: "Does he want to commit suicide?"
Kou Jing shook his head and signaled Qin Zhao to continue watching. He felt that it was not that simple. The poisonous insects came so strangely last time, and it must be related to this person. Their actions just now seemed to be using human blood and animal corpses to sacrifice.
Sure enough, after he continued to take the knife, a strange scene appeared!
The knife cut the flesh, but no trace of blood flowed out. The old man was not surprised at all. He just squatted down and put his cut wrist above the blood-covered pit. In an instant, his heart bulged
I got a small bag, and it was moving violently inside, as if something was trying to get out.
The old man was made of a hideous face by the thing, as if he was enduring great pain. After a while, the thing calmed down and began to climb up along his body, from his neck to his arm, and then crawled along his arm toward him.
The cut wrist finally emerged from the broken flesh.
It was a bug, it was pitch black all over and there were many small thorns on its body, which looked extremely ugly, but the old man looked at it as if he was looking at something peerless beauty.
Kou Jing noticed that since the insect crawled out of his body, the old man became much haggard, with a look of wither, and seemed to die in the next second. But the strange light emitted from his eyes made people
I think he is still healthy.
The bug crawled all the way from his wrist to the pit, and then crawled into the bleeding neck that had just been cut and was still bleeding. The Jiuzhu people who were holding their breath were finally relieved.
After about a quarter of an hour, Kou Jing saw the ugly insect again. It seemed to be much more energetic than when he first climbed out, and his head was waving, as if he was in a happy mood. The old man couldn't wait to reach out his hand,
Hopefully it can crawl back from its wrist.
At this moment, Kou Jing suddenly started to move. He jumped up and raised the knife in his hand to slash at the small insect that was about to enter his wrist. His swordsmanship was superb, and he attacked suddenly again, so
The old man couldn't react and could only watch the insects cut into two pieces by Kou Jing's knife. At the same time, Qin Zhao also jumped out and subdued the leading Jiuzhu man in a few moves to warn others not to
act rashly.
The old man stared at the insect corpse on the ground, his eyes were red, his expression became crazy, his hands turned slightly, and something shot out in the direction of Kou Jing. Kou Jing was always on guard against him, and immediately turned back while he took action.
Bu, sure enough, at the place where he was just standing, a pool of black water appeared, and a leaf fell into it and was immediately swallowed without a trace.
He thought to himself that it was so dangerous and became more vigilant. The old man originally wanted to move, but suddenly he seemed to be stuck in something, and his expression gradually became terrified.
Kou Jing found that in his exposed skin, there seemed to be something that wanted to "break out of the ground", which made him bulge one small bag after another. The scene was both weird and terrifying, and there was a sound behind him.
The soldiers who came were stunned because they had never seen such a thing in their lives.
The old man was too busy to take care of himself, and the Jiuzhu people who were held hostage by Qin Zhao were also panicked. When Qin Zhao held him back with a knife, he still wanted to find a chance to escape, but in the end he was taken to the side of the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty.
.
"Let them put down their weapons." Kou Jing said.
The Jiuzhu man pretended to be confused. Kou Jing looked over and his stomach was "greeting" by Qin Zhao's fist, and he thrust in pain.
"I know you can understand, let them put down their weapons!"
The Jiuzhu people were a little depressed and were afraid of continuing to be beaten, so they had to shout. But who knew that this person was also unpopular. After he shouted, the Jiuzhu soldiers actually turned around and ran away. Fortunately, the Wei army had already been around before.
There was an ambush, so they didn't let them run back to inform us.
