Between mountains and seas

Chapter 44 Cracks

The successive explosions made Qiu Yizhu's ears buzzing.The ground under her feet was shaking, and she could only think of one thought: "It's terrible!"

This is worse, it doesn't refer to Zhao Long and the hostages.The moment Zhao Long pressed the detonator, the bag containing the explosives under his feet was covered by a metal cover that suddenly appeared.And Zhao Long was thrown to the side by the cover that popped up suddenly. He was very embarrassed, but he was not injured at all.

This sudden change made the female policeman both surprised and delighted. After the dull explosion finally stopped, her first reaction was to rush over and catch Zhao Long first.

Qiu Yizhu bypassed these people and ran to the back.She had already seen that the metal cover was blown to pieces in the end, and the cover was not as thick as imagined, it was just a thin layer.This proved that it was not the metal itself that blocked the explosion, but Huo Qing's ability.

Going around the two tombstones, Qiu Yizhu saw Huo Qing whose face was a little pale, but Shao Jingxing was already supporting him beside him.

"Huo Qing? How are you?" Shao Jingxing never expected the explosion to come so suddenly, probably because Zhao Long was usually suppressed too hard, but today he bottomed out and rebounded. In short, he had only stood by the wall for less than 2 minutes when he heard There was a deafening explosion.But when he ran over, he didn't see the bloody scene, but saw Huo Qing standing against a tombstone.

Although Huo Qing seemed to have a slightly pale face, Shao Jingxing still understood him. If he could stand up straight, he wouldn't bend fifteen degrees. Now that he has to lean on the tombstone, he must have spent too much time protecting Zhao Long and the others. physical strength.

"It's okay." Huo Qing didn't expect that Zhao Long's words would cause Zhao Long to detonate. The metal cover he made in a hurry was not thick enough, so he had to keep repairing it when it exploded. This consumes a lot of energy. Too much.

But the trouble now is not physical exertion itself, but—"The door is probably about to open."

"What, what?" Only then did Shao Jingxing feel that the ground under his feet was still shaking very slightly.Just now he thought it was the aftermath of the explosion, but now that he looked carefully, there were subtle double images on the surrounding tombstones, which was a sign that the door was about to open.

Huo Qing stood up straight, and first ordered Qiu Yizhu: "Tell them all to evacuate, and no one outside is allowed to enter the cemetery!" Especially those who don't know what to do.

Qiu Yizhu took off the cassock that was in the way, revealing the bunt inside, turned around and ran away without saying a word, picked up Zhao's mother who was still beating her son with one hand, and dragged the frightened girl with the other, and said sharply to the policewoman: "Immediately!" Get out! Everyone exits the cemetery and asks your captain to seal the gate of the cemetery and no one is allowed to enter!"

The female policeman was still a little dazed, but Qiu Yizhu had already dragged one of them with one hand, ignoring Zhao's mother's struggle and shouting, and dragged her out like a sandbag. She had no choice but to pick up Zhao Long who had been handcuffed and go out.After walking a few steps, I felt the vibration under my feet again.

Is there still explosives?The policewoman turned her head in panic, but saw an incredible scene in front of her eyes—those black tombstones overlapped, like a black forest, and in this forest, she vaguely saw another bare mountain, It seems that there is still a river.

The unfamiliar scenery overlapped with the tombstone forest like a holographic projection, causing her eyes to be dazzled.Suddenly, something moving in the double image caught her attention, which seemed to be - small owls?

"Let's go!" Qiu Yizhu in the front shouted to her.In the blink of an eye by the policewoman, the projection of the mountains disappeared again, leaving only the double images of some tombstones still swaying in front of my eyes, making people dizzy.

Is she dazzled?The policewoman was still thinking, when she heard the sound of flapping wings above her head, and when she looked up, two owls had already swooped on top of their heads.

This thing is not big in size, about the size of the Orleans roast chicken sold in the supermarket, but its movements are very quick and flexible. The policewoman held Zhao Long back with one hand, so she could only raise her hand to block it. , There was a burning sensation on the arm.

Zhao Long let out a muffled cry.Both hands were handcuffed, and he couldn't resist at all. A gash was scratched on his forehead immediately, and blood flowed down his face.

The female policeman drew her gun backhand, and after a few shots, an owl fluttered to the ground, but two more flew out from behind the tombstone, and as far as the eye could see, there were also owls flying out from behind other tombstones. There are dozens of owls out of thin air!

There was a click, like a thunder above the head, and the three owls' feathers were scorched black, and they fell in a whirl.Qiu Yizhu had already pushed the girl to run forward by himself, holding Zhao's mother who was struggling to go back to find Zhao Long with one hand, and holding the Thunder Talisman with the other, he shouted at the policewoman sharply: "Hurry up, do you want to die? ?”

The policewoman was still confused, and subconsciously dragged Zhao Long out of the cemetery.She felt a slight vibration under her feet again, but she didn't dare to look back, and followed Qiu Yizhu to her colleagues and began to evacuate the crowd.

The onlookers were already in a commotion. Some people just saw that the entire cemetery seemed to have a double image. They were pulling out their mobile phones and wanted to take pictures of the "spiritual phenomenon" that appeared in broad daylight. They refused to leave when the police evacuated them.Some people saw Zhao Long, and they raised their mobile phones to take crazy pictures, and the editors were going to upload them to Moments.

The female policeman took a breath and shouted: "The explosion may have caused an earthquake. Hurry up and evacuate! If there is an earthquake, this area will sink into the ground!" This may cause chaos, but she already vaguely felt that, If something really happened in the cemetery, I'm afraid these people, including her and her colleagues, would be in a bad situation.

Not to mention that this sound really worked, the people who were still holding their mobile phones suddenly became chaotic and scattered, and someone could still be heard talking into the mobile phone: "Oh my god, there is an earthquake here in the northern suburbs cemetery!"

Huo Qing and Shao Jingxing didn't know how chaotic it was outside, and in fact they couldn't care less.

"What are these things?" Shao Jingxing threw out a fireball, and an owl bumped into it head-on, and was quickly surrounded by flames.It screamed roughly, and flew a few times before falling to the ground.The flames aroused the natural fear of the wild beasts, and the owls around them shrank back, and stopped rushing forward.

"It's an owl." At some point, Huo Qing conjured up a small crossbow and pierced two owls that were too close, "This is the Beishan range, and now it seems that it may be in the Raoshan area. There is no vegetation in Rao Mountain, but there are many Yao and Bi, and its beasts are many camels, and its birds are many owls. Owls are owls, a small owl."

Although this thing is small in size, it is also a bird of prey, and its lethality increases linearly when the number exceeds.But the only advantage is that the power of mountains and seas doesn't bless them too much, that is, there are some bacteria and viruses on the claws.

"Isn't that enough?" Shao Jingxing cried out in despair.It's summer now, his short-sleeved shorts, will he be infected if he scratches it casually?

"Don't be afraid." Huo Qing didn't look at the owls too much. "As long as you don't hurt your vitals, you'll be fine if you get a shot of tetanus and rabies vaccine later. You'll have a low-grade fever for a few days at most, and it won't be fatal."

Shao Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay. What are you looking at?"

"I'm afraid it's not just these things." Huo Qing stared at the depths of the cemetery, "I saw something else just now."

"This—what's the place near Rao Mountain? Are there any other strange beasts?" Shao Jingxing now deeply understands what it means to "use books when they are used", and the importance of obtaining information in advance.

Huo Qing pondered for a while: "Rao Mountain belongs to the Three Classics of the North, and this part is a total of 46 mountains from Taihang to Wufeng. Among them, the dangerous beasts are the first ones."

Acidity, Shao Jingxing had read in the illustrated book, was a snake-like bird with four wings, three legs, and six eyes. It was unknown how it mutated.The lethality of this thing itself is not very great, but it belongs to the category of mental attack just like the sparrow, and it can scare people.

Moreover, the range of attack of sour is much larger than that of sparrows. The original text of "Shan Hai Jing" states that "when you see it, you will be afraid."A city is roughly the size of a county, that is to say, once this thing comes out, at least the panic in the suburbs will not run away.Coupled with the fact that the Zhao Long incident just happened, the residents of the entire suburb may have the fear of being kidnapped.

It sounds like nothing, but everyone is suffering from persecution paranoia.But collective panic in a densely populated environment can have unimaginable consequences.Even because the administration will be paralyzed at the same time, no one can stop this panic, so the actual situation is probably more terrible than the spread of the plague.

And there are not only acid and a strange beast in the Sanjing of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"On Mount Wufeng there is a big snake with a red head and a white body. Its voice is like that of an ox. If you see it, it will cause a severe drought in the city."

Shao Jingxing's scalp felt a little numb when he heard the word snake, but a severe drought in a county is not a particularly terrible thing now. After all, there are water conservancy and transportation projects, which are different from the ancient times that depended on the sky for food.

While Huo Qing was talking, he shot every arrow and killed more than a dozen owls in a row.The few remaining ones were finally timid, turned around and wanted to fly out of the cemetery.

But they just flew to the entrance of the cemetery, as if they hit an invisible wall, a pale golden halo appeared in the air, and all the owls bounced back.One of them was knocked unconscious because it flew too fast, and stuck its head on the grass.

Shao Jingxing was still holding a fireball in his hand and was about to catch up, when he saw this weird scene.The next moment, a bigger halo appeared, and someone walked through the invisible wall and walked out of the halo.

The man was dressed in undertaker's clothes and was holding what looked a bit like an urn in his arms.But he nodded to Huo Qing as soon as he came in, and introduced himself: "Guardian No. 53 Luo Hui."

"Huo Qing, a member of the third team of the special affairs department." Huo Qing also nodded to him, glanced at Shao Jingxing again, and added, "Shao Jingxing."

Luo Hui looks like a very unremarkable middle-aged uncle, with a fat body, and even his hairline is already a little precarious.Seeing his appearance, Shao Jingxing couldn't help but asked Huo Qing in a low voice: "This is also - Special Affairs Department..." Look at this uncle's stomach, can he fight with those strange beasts?

Huo Qing coughed lightly and explained in a low voice: "The guards are non-staff members of the special affairs department. They are only responsible for guarding and maintaining the boundary gate." There is no need to fight, so it's okay to lose shape.

Luo Hui seemed to be very familiar with this kind of questioning, and smiled at Shao Jingxing: "I can only cultivate doors, and I can't fight."

"It's amazing to be able to repair the door." Shao Jingxing quickly changed his words, "I haven't figured out what the reason for this door is until now..." But looking at the uncle's appearance, it seems that he doesn't attach much importance to the opening of the door?

Luo Hui smiled again: "This door corresponds to Rao Mountain. There are more owls of this kind in Rao Mountain, and the lethality is not too great. Unless you encounter wild camels in the mountain charging in groups, don't be too nervous. I have opened the protective cover of the cemetery. As long as you put it on for 10 minutes, the door can be repaired. This door is inspected and repaired every year, and it is in good condition. Such an explosion will not cause fundamental damage. I will repair it quickly."

"That's great!" Shao Jingxing thought that there would be a gallop of beasts as soon as the gate of this realm opened, so it wasn't that serious.

Luo Hui opened the urn—no, he opened something that looked like an urn in his arms, and took out a bag of powder that also looked a bit like ashes, saying: "This is also for testing, like yours. If there are two people from the special affairs department, there is basically no problem."

What!Shao Jingxing suddenly felt a thunderbolt on his head. It turned out that what the uncle said was all right, it was based on the strength of both of them as members of the special affairs department!But, he is not a full-fledged member of the special affairs department at all, he is just a rookie!

Even the expression on Huo Qing's face was a bit indescribable, but he quickly calmed down: "And Miss Qiu."

In the end, do we still have to count on Qiu Yizhu, a girl, to help with the battle?Shao Jingxing felt a little hot on his face.However, before he could express his opinion on this, the ground shook slightly again, and the tombstone in front of him became blurred, but the image of the mountain—now that Shao Jingxing knew it was Rao Mountain—became clear.

But with the appearance of Rao Mountain, a gust of wind blew head-on first.

The wind blew up without warning, and it was as strong as a typhoon crossing the border, blowing towards Shao Jingxing's face until Shao Jingxing couldn't open his eyes.As soon as he raised his hand to block it, he heard a sound like a dog barking. At the same time, Huo Qing pushed him violently, causing him to stagger. Something hard flew past his shoulder with a bang. hit on a tombstone.

"It's the sound of Shanchu being heard nearby, with a calm tone, which sounds very reassuring, "This thing has a human face and a dog's body, and when it walks, there will be strong winds in the world.In addition, it is good at throwing by the wind, just avoid it carefully. "

With the whistling wind in his ears, Shao Jingxing tried his best to open his eyes, but before he could see the mountain, he saw that Huo Qing had already held a saber in his right hand, and he was slashing at a strange beast in front of him.

It was a goat.No, Shao Jingxing immediately overturned his own judgment - the goat will not grow a human face, let alone a tiger-like tooth!And the thing had no eyes on its face—he remembered!Sheep body and human face, eyes not on the face but on the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, this is a roe owl!Cannibal!

Although the roe owl had no eyes on its face, it jumped to the side quickly as if it could see Huo Qing's movements.But the tip of the saber in Huo Qing's hand suddenly extended another inch, wedged deeply into its shoulder, and opened a long wound.

The roe owl made a sound like a baby crying, and suddenly jumped onto the nearby tombstone, raising one of its forelimbs high.Shao Jingxing saw that it really had an eye under its armpit, and at this moment it suddenly opened with its movements, revealing the blood-red pupil inside.

"Don't look!" Huo Qing closed his eyes abruptly, but raised his left hand, and a short metal cone tied with spider silk flew out, blasting the roe owl's eyeballs with a bang.

The roe owl screamed and rolled down from the tombstone. Huo Qing stepped over and chopped off its head neatly with the saber.

Shao Jingxing only felt some itching in his eyes.He couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed it twice before he felt more comfortable.Thinking of what Huo Qing said just now, "Don't look", he was startled: "How are your eyes?" He felt uncomfortable just seeing the eyes of the roe owl from the side, so Huo Qing faced the roe owl, would it be...

"I'm fine." Just as Huo Qing was about to rub his eyes, Luo Hui exclaimed, "Be careful!" In the wind that never stopped, another leopard with a piebald head jumped out.

This thing looked more fierce than the roe owl, as soon as it jumped out, it had already jumped in front of Shao Jingxing.

Shao Jingxing raised his hand almost instinctively, and a ball of fire exploded in front of the leopard's eyes. The flames stopped the leopard's forward pounce. Huo Qing had already grabbed the leopard's tail with one hand, and pushed it back forcefully. Tuo, shouted: "I'll do it, you go and get the mountain

Touching the tiger's buttocks, pulling the leopard's tail... Shao Jingxing almost looked at Huo Qing in awe as he wrapped the leopard's tail around his hand, and then swung it up with all his might!

"It's an owl!" Holding a handful of ashes-like powder in his hand, Luo Hui said hastily while drawing runes on the ground, "There's something wrong with this... from the Mountain of Cowardly Law; the roe owl is here Gouwu Mountain; this place should be in Dishan, although they are all in the Beishan family, but they all gather here, isn’t it a bit too coincidental?”

The powder in his hand looks light and fluffy, but when it falls to the ground, it will stick firmly, and such a strong wind can't blow it up.With more and more runes, the vibration on the ground seemed to be lessening.

However, at this moment, a stone the size of a human head was thrown over by the wind, and Luo Hui was so frightened that he quickly rolled to the side before avoiding it. The child broke.

It's the mountain hammer again, stupid and ∩ 劬 target Xie instant bad cute HA hydrazine whore wish Zhan Pan Zhan Muai rushed in the direction of the stone throwing against the wind, and threw a fireball of the same size with a wave of his hand.

This fireball was more powerful than a stone. Once it exploded, the wind that blinded people seemed to weaken a lot.Finally, Shao Jingxing's eyes could be fully opened, and he immediately spotted the Shanhui where the firelight was shining.
