[073] Facing death
The village chief died, inexplicably, and terrifyingly dead. The plant on his head was particularly prosperous and grew. It seemed to be embedded in his head, and became large, and many tentacles grew on the branches. These tentacles trembled and swayed in the air, as if they were looking for something to support it, or looking for a new source of food.
Xu Qian looked at Zhiqing tightly, and was so shocked that she was cold all over.
"Brother-in-law..."
Zhiqing, who was so obsessed with the sensation, was suddenly shouted out of thin air, and was shocked to fight a cold war. He slightly turned sideways and asked, "...Is there something wrong?"
"Don't get close..." Xu Qian looked at the strange dancing plant and hurriedly reminded her in her heart.
"It's okay... I'll take a look..." Zhiqing not only did not leave, but instead took a step closer and squatted down to see it clearly. At this moment, there were legends outside that the sound of talking and the sound of wooden boards bumping into the shack. With heavy breathing and heavy steps, the person coming in was Zhong Kui, who was extremely tired.
Xiao Ming poured a glass of water and handed it to his master.
Vanilla's mouth moved, her face with surprise, her eyes full of melancholy and restlessness, and she wanted to speak but stopped.
Xu Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him deeply, and thousands of words were silent. Her eyes were on the strange plant, and no one dared to touch it, and she ignored the source of this plant.
Wen Gen's complicated expression and worried look. When she saw Zhong Kui, her eyes were confused, she looked around and was a little absent-minded.
Only Zhiqing did not respond to Zhong Kui, and still maintained the same expression as before, staring at the strangely grown plant with interest in a daze.
What kind of plant is this? Only the ghost elves can explain it. With the same view, Zhong Kui believes that Zhiqing is a little fascinated.
At this time, the village chief's face had shrunk so that the outline of each bone was clearly visible, just like under a transparent piece of paper, his life had ended, and the only thing left was a human skin mask. The body wrapped under his clothes was no different from a hole. Now he had completely calmed down and could no longer feel the pain of splitting headaches. Apart from the slight tremor of the stem, this extremely evil plant had sucked his blood, his internal organs and muscles.
Zhong Kui had a gloomy face and shouted that they would drag Zhiqing away as much as possible and stay away from the strange plant. What frightened him was that the stems of this plant had been removed from the village chief's scalp, so why did it continue to grow?
"You all leave this shack and go outside..."
Xu Qian and others helped each other and stood up and left.
Zhiqing looked very reluctant and looked back at the flowering plant. The flower plate was fat, like a person's face, and the illusion was like a person laughing when he looked at it. He would feel unnaturally psychedelic.
Zhong Kui didn't tell them that the moment he came back, he had discovered the problem. The reason why they in the shack had no big reaction to his return was that they were bewitched by this strange plant. If he came back a little later, the consequences would be unimaginable. Maybe Xu Qian and the others had become the food for plants.
And their final result will be like the village chief.
Zhong Kui knew that it would be useless to tell them now. Before the plants were eliminated, their minds were still half-dream and half-awake. At present, only by using flames to eliminate the plants when they were not in the trap can we avoid future troubles.
Zhiqing, who had just walked out of the shack door, suddenly turned around and ran towards the plants while Zhong Kui was not careful... This is amazing. If he touched the plants, it would be awful.
In the flash of lightning, a loud slap in the face made Zhiqing's face hurt. In the end, it was finally taken away by Xiao Ming, Wengen and Xu Qian.
Zhong Kui was dull and angry in his chest, and his eyes moved away as much as possible without looking at the flower plate of the plant. Puff! A red flame rushed out of his mouth... The plant gradually withered under the baking of the flames, and the flower plate suddenly dispersed, making a strange sound.
Outside the shack, they could only hear a harsh and strange scream, and they didn't know how Zhong Kui got the plants. The strange scream was very similar, the cry of a pig.
When the plants and the village chief's holes turned into ashes, Zhong Kui was also exhausted. He was worried and looked at every corner one by one before he walked out of the shack door tiredly.
Without the sheds, the cold is coming, and they urgently need to board the ship now.
The sky above my head was gray and I could not see the twinkling light of the stars. The surroundings were also dark. Except for the occasional sound of the lake water falling on the shore, everything was still sleeping.
Facing the empty lake, Zhong Kui felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He glanced at Wengen and the others and asked, "Where are there anyone else?"
Yes! Are there people? When they woke up before, weren’t there still several people? Why are there only Xu Qian, Wen Gen, Xiao Ming, Zhiqing, and Zhong Kui left now? What about the people brought by the village chief, except for one of them smashed after being frozen?
"No need to look for them, they must have run away by boat." Zhong Kui sighed heavily and said helplessly.
This was undoubtedly another heavy blow. The boat was only one of Zhong Kui and the others, and the village chief and the others. In order to prevent them from running, Li Laoyao asked him to pull the boat away when he came.
The cold wind blew against everyone's face. They had to go to see the village chief's shack to see if they could stay for one night. Zhong Kui was the leader to check the environment as usual. If it was safe, he should be able to stay for one night. When it was dawn, Li Laoyao might come to save them.
The village chief's shack is a bit messy, but in this helpless situation, it should be no problem to stay for one night. Thinking that the plants that attacked people have been eliminated, the evil spirits of the smog no longer exist, and the evil spirits in the dream have also been destroyed, and there is no creature that can threaten their lives. You should be able to take a good rest, so that everyone's tense nerves will relax a little.
The ghost elves were released from the cloth bag by Zhong Kui. The purpose of putting her out was to tell her everything that happened here. The ghost elves are not so easy to deal with, and she also has to attach another condition, which is to ask Zhong Kui to give her a chance to be a human being again.
The ghost elves are not considered evil guys. She saved Xu Qian's life and helped him find the nest of the haze evil spirit body. There was no reason for Zhong Kui to refuse, so he agreed.
Xu Qian and others still have some idea about the unmanned island incident, but they don’t know how different the stories told by the ghost elves are from their speculations.
Next is the ghost elves tell them the secrets of the uninhabited island.
