Chapter 212: Figure by the Window
He didn't know who the caller in the book was, let alone whether this person was still waiting for rescue somewhere in the forest farm.
Jiang Qing showed the books to Jiang Qing and other friends. Deep worry and uneasiness appeared on everyone's faces.
Jiang Qing slowly closed the pages of the book. The chill seemed to dissipate as the pages closed, but the shock in his heart could not subside for a long time.
He looked around. There seemed to be unknown secrets hidden in the dark room, and every corner was full of depression and heaviness.
"This forest farm is not simple." Jiang Qing said in a deep voice, breaking the silence in the room.
Others also gathered around, Bailiye frowned, "It seems there is a story behind this forest farm, we have to be more careful."
Luo Shui looked a little uneasy, "Then shall we stay here for the night?"
Jiang Qing thought for a moment and said, "There is no better choice for the time being. Let's rest here first, but we must be vigilant and wake up others immediately if there is any abnormality."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were a little uneasy, under the leadership of Jiang Qing, they decided to settle down temporarily in this wooden house.
Shen Chengxian had already brought back a pile of firewood from outside and lit a fire. The flames danced, bringing a touch of warmth and light to the dark wooden house.
As the night progressed, various strange sounds came from the forest outside, but the people inside the house did not dare to relax at all.
They took turns keeping vigil to ensure safety.
Jiang Qing sat by the fire, playing with a piece of luck fragment obtained from the monster beast in his hand, his thoughts drifting away. This luck fragment exuded a faint light and seemed to contain some mysterious power.
Yes, the demon clan itself has luck, which will be embodied in this space.
After the previous fourth-level monster died, Jiang Qing obtained this fragment.
This thing is very magical. When you hold it in your hand, it can be in solid or gaseous state. When it is in gaseous state, it can flow into the body like spiritual energy. It feels very strange.
"Is the battle for luck really just a matter of collecting fragments?" Jiang Qing thought to himself, "Is there any connection between the text in the forest farm and the fragments of luck?"
He decided to explore the area around the forest farm early tomorrow morning to see if he could find more clues.
At this moment, Qin Xiaosui came over, sat next to Jiang Qing, and whispered: "Jiang Qing, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Qing smiled slightly, "I was thinking about the secrets behind this forest farm and the battle over fate."
Qin Xiaosui blinked, "Then let's find the answer together tomorrow."
Jiang Qing nodded, "Okay, let's find the answer together."
It was late at night, and the fire in the wooden house gradually extinguished, leaving only a few wisps of smoke floating in the air. Jiang Qing and Qin Xiaosui leaned together and gradually fell asleep.
The forest outside was still whispering in the night, as if telling ancient stories one after another.
Late at night, it was Jiang Qing's turn to keep vigil.
He sat next to the extinguished fire, gently stroking the piece of luck in his hand, feeling the mysterious power contained in it.
His eyes were peering through the window frame at the dark forest outside, filled with doubts and curiosity.
Suddenly, a slight noise broke the tranquility of the night. Jiang Qing immediately became alert. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and he scanned the surroundings, looking for the source of the sound.
"Jiang Qing, what happened?" Qin Xiaosui was also awakened by the noise, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked drowsily.
"Shh, don't make a sound." Jiang Qing whispered, while slowly standing up and quietly walking towards the door.
He gently opened the door and walked out. The moonlight filtered through the treetops and shone on this desolate forest farm. Everything seemed extremely quiet.
However, Jiang Qing could feel that there seemed to be an unusual aura hidden in the silence.
He carefully patrolled around the cabin, his ears carefully picking up every little sound around him.
At this moment, he noticed something moving under a tree not far away.
Jiang Qing held her breath, slowly approached, and finally saw clearly - it was a human figure, huddled under the tree, his body trembling slightly.
Jiang Qing was shocked.
He didn't expect to meet other people in this kind of place, so he quickly sent a message and woke up the others.
"Everyone, get up, I found a person outside." Jiang Qing said hurriedly.
Everyone quickly stood up and followed Jiang Qing out of the wooden house. They were surprised to see the figure huddled under the tree.
"Who is here in the middle of the night?" Bailiye said doubtfully.
"Go over and have a look." Jiang Qing took the lead and walked over.
Jiang Qing led his friends towards the huddled figure, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
However, just as they were about to approach, Jiang Qing's expression suddenly changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then, with a howl, the long sword suddenly came out of its sheath.
"Be careful! It's not human!" Jiang Qing shouted, reminding his companions.
The black shadow revealed its true form under Jiang Qing's sword light. It was a demon in disguise.
It let out a sharp roar and slammed into several people, but Jiang Qing cleverly avoided it.
"Disperse! Prepare to fight!" Jiang Qing commanded, his voice appearing particularly clear in the night sky.
The team members responded quickly, their movements were well-trained, and they immediately spread out to form an encirclement.
A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of this giant ant monster, and its tail flicked violently, stabbing at the nearest Bailiye with a sound of breaking through the air.
"Just in time!" Bailiye shouted, the spear in his hand shook, and accurately hit the giant ant's tail, making a dull metal collision sound.
Luo Shui took the opportunity to attack, and the halberd in her hand was like a swimming dragon, piercing the giant ant's abdomen.
The giant ant let out a roar of pain, but quickly stabilized its body, turned its tail, and tried to fight back.
There was actually a spike on the tail, shining with a deadly cold light.
"Don't let it have a chance to fight back!" Jiang Qing shouted again. His long sword drew sword shadows in the air, blocking all the giant ants' escape routes.
Qin Xiaosui has an agile figure. She shuttles around the giant ants like a ghost, looking for the best opportunity to attack. Shen Chengxian and Luo Hua are respectively casting spells and hidden weapons in the distance to provide support for their teammates.
The battle became extremely fierce, and every attack of the giant ants was full of power and murderous intent. However, the members of the team cooperated tacitly, and every attack was accurate and deadly.
After a thrilling confrontation, the giant ant finally exhausted its strength and was pierced through the vital part by Jiang Qing's sword.
It roared one last time, and its huge body crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
After the battle, the team members breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they quickly checked around to confirm that there were no other monsters lurking.
"Is everyone okay?" Jiang Qing sheathed his sword and asked his companions with concern.
"This small scene is not a problem for me!" Bailiye patted the dust on his body and said with a smile.
Luo Shui wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This giant ant is quite difficult to deal with, but we cooperated well and we took it down!"
Qin Xiaosui jumped up excitedly, "It's so exciting! I almost pinched off the thorn on its tail just now! Unfortunately, it's still a little hard..."
Shen Chengxian and Luo Hua also breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled, "Our team is really getting closer to each other. If this continues, there will be nothing we can't win!"
Jiang Qing nodded, "However, the situation here is more complicated than we expected. Everyone should stay vigilant, as something may happen at any time."
The team members responded in unison, their eyes shining with determination and confidence.
Jiang Qing stood next to the giant ant corpse, frowning as he thought about the possibility of fragments of luck. He turned to Qin Xiaosui and said, "Xiaosui, come and do an autopsy to see if there are any fragments of luck."
Qin Xiaosui nodded. She was no stranger to anatomy. She learned this type of survival skills best in the training camp because she was never afraid of these jobs that seemed bloody to ordinary people.
Maybe it's talent?
She squatted down, pulled out a sharp dagger from her waist, and began precise dissection.
Qin Xiaosui's technique was skillful, and every cut was just right. After a while, the ant's shell was carefully peeled off, revealing the complex internal structure inside.
Bailiye and other team members also gathered around and watched attentively.
Qin Xiaosui carefully inspected every part of the ant, and finally found a luminous object at the tail of the ant.
"found it!"
Qin Xiaosui carefully took out the luminous object. It was a crystal clear crystal with strange light flowing inside, which was the fragment of luck.
However, when Qin Xiaosui further examined the ant's physiological structure, she frowned: "This doesn't seem to be a demon clan."
Luo Shui came over to take a look and felt a little confused: "There is indeed something wrong. The body structure of the demon clan is very different from this."
Shen Chengxian put forward his own opinion: "Maybe this is a native creature of Wuji Fairy Island and has some special abilities that we don't know about."
After some reasoning and analysis, several people came to a conclusion. This ant is indeed a native creature of Wuji Fairy Island. It has a very strange ability. Its tentacles can disguise themselves as human beings to attract prey.
After Jiang Qing heard this conclusion, he discovered something else, and his expression became serious: "Humanoid bait? So...
Do the creatures here feed on humans?
And ants are social creatures. "
This discovery gave everyone a chill. If the creatures in this forest do feed on humans, their situation in this forest will become more dangerous.
Bailiye held the spear in his hand tightly and looked around vigilantly: "We have to be more careful and not allow these creatures to take advantage of us."
Luo Shui also nodded in agreement: "We must pay special attention to the vigil tonight and cannot relax in any way."
Jiang Qing took a deep breath. He knew that they had entered an unknown and dangerous area, and every step must be taken with caution.
"Okay, let's set up defenses here first. Early tomorrow morning, we will continue to explore the forest farm and pay attention to any possible threats." Jiang Qing gave the order, his voice firm and powerful.
The night was like ink, so thick it seemed like it could drip water. Although Jiang Qing and his companions fought fiercely, no one could rest peacefully in this eerie wooden house.
In the dark corners of the wooden house, every shadow seems to hide an unknown danger, which makes people feel terrified.
"I said, do we really want to spend the night here? Why do I feel that it is less safe here than outside." Shen Chengxian muttered, holding a wooden stick in his hand and poking at the dark corners around him from time to time.
Qin Xiaosui also echoed: "Yes, it's scary here. Is there a ghost?"
"Okay, don't scare yourself." Jiang Qing stood up, "Well, let's check it carefully again to make sure there are no other hidden dangers."
Bai Liye and Luo Shui also joined the search, and the five of them began to patrol the wooden house.
"I say, don't be so careful, it's the middle of the night, just take a look." Shen Chengxian complained, but still followed Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing suddenly stopped and turned to Shen Chengxian and said, "In fact, I have already scanned it with my spiritual sense, and there is nothing."
"Then what are you looking for?"
"It's not that I see you are scared, so I check it again to feel more at ease."
Shen Chengxian:...
Shen Chengxian closed his eyes and began to release his spiritual sense, carefully scanning the entire wooden house. His spiritual sense was like an invisible net, covering every corner.
I almost forgot that I was still a cultivator. Do I need to do this kind of thing myself?
Sure enough, he didn't find anything unusual, but he found that Jiang Qing's brows suddenly frowned.
Luo Shui also noticed the change in Jiang Qing's expression, "What's wrong, Jiang Qing? Did you find anything?"
Jiang Qing opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed a trace of solemnity, "It's not our wooden house, but the second floor of the broken wooden house opposite, the second window from the left to the right, there is a person looking at us."
As soon as these words came out, the scalps of several people were numb instantly. In this desolate forest farm, someone was secretly peeping in the middle of the night, which undoubtedly brought them great pressure and unknown fear.
Still coming?
It's late at night, is it over!
Bai Liye tightly grasped the spear and looked at the broken wooden house opposite vigilantly, "People? Are you sure?"
"No doubt, I can feel his gaze." Jiang Qing said in a deep voice.
Qin Xiaosui approached Jiang Qing nervously and whispered, "Then what should we do? I'll go and beat him to death."
Everyone: Sister Qin is awesome...
Someone? Hearing this, Bai Liye and Luo Hua also frowned at the same time. Things are not simple!
Bailiye asked urgently: "Is it a dead person or a living person?"
"Looking at us from behind the window, of course it's a living person." Luo Hua said.
"No." Jiang Qing stared at the dark window, slowly pulled out the Longyuan Sword with his other hand, took a deep breath, and said hoarsely:
That's not a living person. "
"Not a living person? How is this possible?" Luo Shui looked at it and was stunned.
"——Ah! ! "
She exclaimed, "This... What is going on! ? "
