Between mountains and seas

Chapter 156 4 fierce

Qi Tongmin's words are quite confusing, but now no one will ask what they mean.Su Zheng knelt beside him, his eyes flushed: "Section Chief, you—" Obviously, the people in He Maochuan were all killed by Qi Tongmin, but what about Qi Tongmin's injury?

"Fantasy sand." Qi Tongmin smiled, raised his hand and patted Su Zheng's shoulder, "Yuan Fei raised it. But he is dead, and no one will use this thing in the future."

This action involved the hollowness in his chest, the pale ribs moved, pulling the muscles that had been corroded to the point where only a few strands of black tissue remained, it looked like it could make people have nightmares.

But Su Zheng didn't think it was scary at all: "Uncle Qi, goodbye! Take a break—"

"What are you resting for?" Qi Tongmin was still smiling, "I'll have plenty of time to rest later..." He didn't seem to feel pain at all, but his face turned rosier.

The people in the special affairs department have all seen death, and know that this is already a flashback.Du Weiping moved his lips slightly, looked at Su Zheng's red eyes, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

But Qi Tongmin had already noticed his expression, and smiled at him: "Old Du, I know everything about Corey. Don't you want an explanation? I have a document, and it will be sent to Corey's mailbox in a few days, and everything will be fine." Clear. It's my own business, and it has nothing to do with you, Gu Fuke."

Du Weiping sighed, and glanced at Zhang Sheng and Zhuang Juan: "I know." Not only him, but also the Special Affairs Department, no one should dislike this result, but...

Zhuang Juan had already stepped aside, and was carefully observing the two juxtaposed elm trees, as if he had no interest in the conversation here.Zhang Sheng kept his mouth shut, but he still turned his head aside: "Did you kill He Maochuan?"

This question made Du Weiping slightly relieved, and Qi Tongmin smiled: "They want to enter Zhongshan to steal the five-color stone."

So Zhang Sheng also shut up, and turned his head to study the dead kappa on the ground.

Qi Tongmin looked at them, the smile on his face deepened a bit, and he patted Su Zheng's shoulder again: "Why are you so mother-in-law?"

Su Zhengneng could feel that his hands on his shoulders were already trembling, obviously this movement was more difficult than before: "Uncle Qi, I, I believe in you!"

"That's good." Qi Tongmin laughed sincerely, "You should go forward, this forest is alive, don't move those trees casually, go quickly. If you have migraine, it will be easy to pass. "

"But—" Of course Su Zheng knew that he should move forward now, but looking at Qi Tongmin, his legs seemed to have fallen from lead, and he couldn't move at all.

"Go." Qi Tongmin looked at him softly, "Gu Rong stay here, I have something to say to you. You know I'm running out of time, at least let me finish my conversation."

Su Zheng froze for a moment.He didn't expect that Qi Tongmin still had his last words to confess to Gu Rong instead of him, but he immediately thought of an explanation—probably for Gu Rong to pass it on to Gu Sheng, so he stood up holding back his tears.

Qi Tongmin's time is indeed running out.The rosy complexion brought to him by the flashback is gradually fading, the hole has extended to the abdomen, it seems that the intestines will flow out at any time, it is a miracle that he is still alive in this situation, if it is delayed, his life will be destroyed at any time Finish.

Huo Qing took the lead, and the group of people walked forward a few steps before disappearing into the re-gathered mist, leaving only Gu Rong still in place, looking at Qi Tongmin with some confusion.From what Qi Tongmin said just now, he already had a premonition, even—he already had a premonition of his own crisis, even death...

"You should have felt it already?" Qi Tongmin smiled at Gu Rong, "After all, your Gu family's blood is connected with the final pen, so the premonition should be very sensitive. Actually, I don't want to, but since old Gu asked you to come ,well--"

"Go straight." Gu Rong straightened his body, "No matter what it is, there is no need to beat around the bush, and you don't have much time."

Qi Tongmin coughed and laughed twice: "You really--you really look like Lao Gu in some ways. You're right, I don't have much time, so look at this--" He stretched out his hand from the hole in his chest Go in and take out a dark red piece.

This action was extremely horrifying. It looked as if he had pulled out a piece of his heart, but Gu Rong was not afraid at all. Instead, he took a closer look and suddenly shrank his eyes: "This is—" Of course it is not the heart, it looks It looks more like a gravel.

"Five-color chrysalis." Qi Tongmin said bluntly, "This is a fire-type chrysalis, and I use it to replace my heart. And you also have a piece of this kind of chrysalis in your body, but it is a gold-type chrysalis, which is used to maintain your heart. lungs."

A surprised expression finally appeared on Gu Rong's face: "Me?"

"Yes." Qi Tongmin nodded gently, "This story is quite long, let me tell you briefly..."

Gu Rong caught up with the team after 40 minutes.Hearing his footsteps, Su Zheng asked without turning his head: "Is the person buried?" Although there was no pause under his feet, he could hear the hoarseness in his voice if he listened carefully.

"Buried." Gu Rong replied simply.

Zhang Sheng hesitated for a while, but still asked very annoyingly: "What did Section Chief Qi tell you?" Gu Rong was obviously the one who let Gu Sheng open the back door to the action team. Is there any secret that Gu Rong can know but they can't?

Of course, Zhang Sheng still suspects that Qi Tongmin is targeting him and Zhuang Juan. After all, Gu Rong is Gu Sheng's son, and Huo Qing is Gu Sheng's favorite subordinate. Isn't Qi Tongmin's secret with Gu Rong the same as Huo Qing?With Huo Qing, doesn't it mean that everyone in the special affairs department can know, only those in the supervision team are kept in the dark...

What's more, Zhang Sheng still has some doubts about Qi Tongmin.In any case, Qi Tongmin used Miaoyinniao to murder He Feng, opened a private plantation to plant Xuncao, sold beauty pills in violation of regulations, and even caused the cracks to appear in the end and killed innocent people. These are all facts!

As a Gonggong faction, Zhang Sheng can be persuaded by the precarious status quo of the barrier, and give up the Gonggong faction's idea to repair the barrier, but he can't forget He Feng's death.Qi Tongmin has done so many illegal things, although he is dead now, can he erase what has happened?Anyway, Zhang Sheng couldn't accept it.

Such a person, if he hadn't been seriously injured and was about to die when they met, Zhang Sheng felt that he would be subject to censorship.Now it’s fine if there’s no review, and it’s unreasonable to have a private talk in secret and hide it from the monitoring team!So even though he knew it was annoying, he still had to ask.

It's already night, and although the mist can push back the fog, it can't emit too strong light, so Gu Rong's face is completely hidden in the shadows, and he can't see clearly at all, only the voice sounds a little dull: "It's nothing, It's my private business."

"Private matter?" Zhang Sheng believed that he had a ghost, "Do you think I would believe it?" A private matter that Qi Tongmin had to talk about before he died?Even if it's a personal matter, it must be related to official business, maybe it's related to their trip to Zhongshan this time!

But Gu Rong asked back: "Do you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?" There was a bit of impatience in his tone, and he was not polite.

"You—" Zhang Sheng was furious, and was about to stop to argue with him, when he suddenly heard Ji Yan say nervously, "It seems something is wrong!"

Now even Zhang Sheng didn't bother to ask any secrets: "What's wrong?"

Ji Yan looked around at the woods that looked unchanged from before: "We are no longer in the woods just now."

These words are not convincing at all. They walked all the way just now, the woods are continuous, and there is no change at all.However, no one questioned, Su Zheng asked: "Are you going to enter Zhongshan?"

Behind the blank land is Zhongshan.

"It should be the entrance." On the compass in Ji Yan's hand, the pointer was spinning around, and his forehead was gradually sweating, "But it's different from what we calculated beforehand..."

"Of course it's different." Zhang Sheng hit a wall with Gu Rong, and was annoyed, "Why else would I arrange you to come?" Isn't it just to calculate the entrance?

"No—" Ji Yan stared at the compass, "It's completely different from the previous calculation..."

Previously, the Logistics Department and several outside consultants who were proficient in formations calculated that the entrance of Zhongshan should be covered by formations. Anyone who was not proficient in this could only pass through the gate and not enter, and there was no way to find Zhongshan. where the mountains are.

But this kind of concealment method is still a maze type in essence, which is to let people go the wrong way. After they have already calculated the general rules and wear maze flowers, they can still find the correct way.

However, now, Ji Yan found that everything ahead was right, but the last step was wrong. There was a road, but the end of the road was a closed door—no, it was not a door, it was simply a wall, broken. If you don't open the wall, it's useless for you to stand in front of the wall.

"What wall?" Zhang Sheng rolled up his sleeves, "Isn't that what you called us to do?" In the end, it's just physical cracking, and it will drop ten times!

Just as Ji Yan was about to speak, a low howling sword suddenly sounded in the dark woods.

Most of the people present had heard the howling of wild beasts a lot, but this one was a bit unusual, and it made people's scalps explode unconsciously.

"What, what?" Tang Jia was the one with the weakest resistance, and immediately became nervous, "Over there!"

The howling of the beast echoed in the night, it didn't sound very loud, but it carried an ominous meaning, and the malice in it was almost overflowing, so that no one who heard it would feel the slightest bit of it It's a fluke—there is no doubt that this thing is aimed at them, and it is definitely not just a look and go!

Du Weiping shone the bright flashlight in the direction indicated by Tang Jia, his eyes were full of wisps of mist, and he couldn't see much distance at all.However, in the dark where the light cannot reach, a pair of green eyes emerged, followed by a face that looked like a human being, and wild boar-like fangs protruding from the corners of the mouth on both sides.

Only seeing this, Shao Jingxing blurted out: "梼杌?"

Wuwu, one of the Four Great Beasts, is famous.Its characteristic is that it has a body like a tiger and a hairy dog, with a human face and pig teeth, and its tail is about ten feet long.

This thing is also called Ao Ruan, as long as you hear the name, you will know what kind of virtue it is.Moreover, it is one of the four fierce beasts. The fangs and claws of this thing have evil spirits. It is not toxins that are better than toxins. The wounds that are caught will fester immediately and cannot heal, and it will cause sepsis after a long time.If this were placed in ancient times, it would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone would die.

"Heart!" Su Zheng yelled, and pulled out his weapon with a flip of his hand, "Don't be caught by this thing!"

To resist Wu Wu's minions, of course, metal-type supernatural beings are the most convenient. Huo Qing was about to draw a knife together, but Gu Rong suddenly frowned: "You can't stay here for too long, it's dangerous!"

Zhang Sheng was still a little annoyed with him, and when he heard this, he said angrily, "No one wants to delay here, isn't there a way out?" He also felt that his attitude was a bit wrong—Gu Rong must have had a premonition , came out to do his duty—so he was so angry that he sent out to Wuwu, and when he raised his hand, he was struck by an electric light.

This sudden attack was quite unexpected, and he was about to dodge to the side, when he suddenly felt that it was not easy to be bound by the four claws, but it was a few vines that stretched to his feet at some point, and suddenly jumped up at this moment, Coiled around the limbs.

Although the growth speed of the vines is limited, they can only coil in a circle and a half, and some of them can even just attach the sticky tendril suckers to their fur, and they can break free with a little effort, but after all, it makes its movements slow After a while, he couldn't completely avoid the lightning that struck down.

Hearing a howl of pain, the hair on one side of Wuwu's shoulder was scorched, and there was a stench of burnt meat and scorched flesh.However, this injury was not fatal enough, on the contrary, it aroused its ferocity even more, and it rushed towards it with a kick of its hind legs—it was a beast, and it was impossible to tell who attacked it, so it only aimed at the one standing at the front. Su Zheng.

Su Zheng didn't show any fear, and rushed forward with his short body.His weapon is a pair of triangular thorns, imitating the military style, the triangular cone will create a bloody hole, and it is difficult to stop the bleeding.Wuwu jumped up, but he rolled directly under the belly of Wuwu. The vines crawling everywhere on the ground made way for him as if they knew someone, but they all entangled with him, and one of them happened to get entangled with him Wu's tail suddenly pulled Wu Wu's huge body down, and his stomach felt cold, and the three-edged thorn had already scratched the abdomen, leaving two grooves of blood.

The howl of the 梼杌 made people's ears buzz, and a rear paw grabbed hard, and there was a piercing sound of metal friction. Su Zheng rushed forward more than ten steps to dissipate the huge momentum, covering his back. His metal armor was also scratched, revealing the clothes inside.

Su Zheng shook his shoulders, and the thin metal armor protruded from both sides of the crack with fine metal wires, and it became a complete piece in a few seconds.He was also secretly vigilant in his heart - this was already the thickest armor he could conjure up in a haste, and he could hardly resist Zhu Wu's grasp.Moreover, the recovery speed of the armor is also a bit slow. If he is alone to face Wuwu, it will be even more difficult.

He hadn't finished thinking when he heard Gu Rong yell, "My heart is on top of me!"

The sense of crisis made Su Zheng unable to lift his head in time, and rushed towards the densely wooded place next to him. At the same time, a gust of wind almost brushed past his head, accompanied by a muffled pop, and in the darkness above, There was a sudden sound of flapping wings, a branch and leaf was swept off, and there was a clattering sound.

Su Zheng turned his head, and the flashlight hanging on his chest slanted upwards, reflecting a tiger flying in mid-air, its pair of huge wings that did not belong to mammals were flapping angrily, and the broken branches and fallen leaves were swept away like rain The same one after another.

Su Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly: "Qongqi!"

Qiongqi, also one of the four evil spirits, looks like a tiger with wings, and cannibals himself.

This thing has a worse reputation than the 梼杌, because it loves to eat people, and it is said that it likes to eat kind people the most, and it will eat from the head.

Regarding the matter of Qiongqi choosing the good to devour, according to Ji Jiu's analysis, it should be a rumor in the later stage, that is, the part added by the people out of their own emotions, which is not credible, but Qiongqi attacked people first by attacking the head It is true, and this is also consistent with its description of "tiger-like". After all, big cats attack their prey and like to lower their mouths towards their throats, which seems to be "cannibalism from the beginning".

So why is it that the 梼杌 is also like a tiger, but doesn't have this habit?Ji Jiu felt that it was because it had two fangs, so its attack method was like that of a wild boar - rampaging like a bulldozer - otherwise, wouldn't those two long fangs grow for nothing?In addition, Wuwu has a face that looks like a man, so the mouth is not big enough, and it is obviously not convenient for biting, so he has to change his attack method.

Shao Jingxing suddenly realized that he was thinking about something, and at this moment Qiongqi had turned his red eyes to Huo Qing - there was still a bloodstain on its stomach, and the arrow that Huo Qing shot just now forced it to immediately turn to Huo Qing. Jump into the air to dodge, or you will surely bite half of Su Zheng's head off!

Zhuang Juan calmly waved his hands, and the overgrown weeds dragged the Wuwu who wanted to take the opportunity to attack Su Zheng. When Du Weiping stomped his feet, a big hole opened under the Wuwu, and the soil poured down from above, burying the Wuwu until nothing was left. A tail is outside.The two urged Ji Yan in unison: "What's the matter?" The second of the four culprits has been identified, and it is reasonable to suspect that the other two are also hiding in the darkness, ready to appear at any time.

Beads of sweat were already rolling down Ji Yan's head, and the compass in his hand was spinning so fast that the whole compass was shaking like a goat.He fixed his eyes on the crazy pointer, suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The blood was dispersed into a blood mist by the crazily rotating pointer. Although it looked like it was only a few drops of blood, the blood mist permeated a large area completely against common sense, and the place covered by the blood mist quickly receded, even Even the darkness receded a bit, and some light came through.

Zhang Sheng stared at the twilight, and suddenly, he saw a winding road appearing in the twilight. Those tall and lush trees disappeared in the twilight, and what appeared were some long roads. Weeds and shrubs that are not very good, and a deserted road in the middle, and the farther you go, the whiter the ground seems to be, as if a layer of frost has formed...

"That's—" Zhang Sheng didn't finish, a sudden suction sucked him and Ji Yan off the ground at the same time and flew backwards. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, grabbed the tree beside him with one hand, and grabbed Ji Yan with the other. Yan.However, being disturbed by this, Ji Yan spat out blood, the original blood mist suddenly dissipated, and the road in the dim light disappeared together, and the dark forest was still in front of him...
