The villain has been playing badly for ten years

Chapter 185 Swamp

Ning Xiusu finally relaxed some of his tense nerves and descended from mid-air. A gust of night wind blew by, and his black hair became a little messy.

He was just concentrating on fighting the moth, and only then did he notice that the traces of blood were gradually dissipating, but in the crack, his five senses were a little confused.

In the night, the marshland is vast and boundless.

This place is really desolate. We are in a swamp with bushes on the shore, but we have no idea of ​​the direction. There is only the sound of the water rippling gently, making a slight gurgling sound.

Hanamibai and Gudehai are heading in the same direction, so which way should they go?

He felt a little confused and looked around. In the decayed area, he noticed a faint glow, as if there was something in the belly of the half-dissolved insect corpse.

He walked forward, picked up a branch from a bush, and with a slight disgust, he pulled open the skin on his belly.

When the butterfly fluttered past, he looked at it. The body of the insect corpse had been almost completely corroded, and nothing could be seen, but there were some bones inside, and half a piece of cloth that had not decayed.

In addition, there seemed to be half an undigested finger bone next to the cloth, and the light was emitted from the jade ring on the thumb.

Ning Xiusu's heart trembled, and a hint of curiosity piqued. Regardless of whether it was disgusting or not, he went forward to pick up the two objects, walked to the nearby water, and washed them clean in the low water.

The black spots and patterns painted on the cloth are really puzzling.

On the contrary, the gray-white jade ring is embossed with Chili dragon patterns, with a restrained luster, smooth lines, and a touch as delicate as fat.

This thing, I'm afraid it's not the Lingxi Finger...

After all, he had been in Shangqing Sect and had some impression that this thing could determine direction based on the movement of stars and the aura of heaven and earth.

It is usually held by the sect's spiritual disciples, and is used to collect herbs in places where there are obstacles...

Now that the blood shadow has dissipated and my five senses are lost in the crack, it would be easier if I had this thing to guide me.

As he thought about it, a faint light of sunshine was injected into Lingxi's finger. The jade ring flashed, and a layer of light array appeared faintly under his feet.

The light array radiated from him, radiating outward like a compass, similar to the Si Nan on the Dayan Flying Kite. He took a casual step, and the light array rotated with him, revealing that he was currently in the northwest corner, the Qian position.

Hanamibai headed eastward from the red wasteland...

From this point, to go to the rime forest, you have to go south. The red soil wasteland is to the east of the rime forest, so you have to go southeast.

Ning Xiusu thought about it in his mind, and then walked towards the Xun Gua direction of the Bagua light array. His Lingxi finger flashed a few times, and the light array disappeared automatically.

At the same time, an almost invisible streak of light appeared in the southeast. He took the piece of cloth into his pocket, casually put the Lingxi finger on his thumb, and hurried forward.

Ning Xiusu ran all the way, his body like a meteor across the sky, and stopped above a reed marsh.

I didn't find anything along the way, but I did detect some traces of blood here, which were extremely faint.

So, he landed in a clearing beside the reeds. He discovered a swamp nearby, with some bloodstains in the mud. He pulled apart some cattails and saw the faint shadow of a butterfly resting on the bloody mess. He could vaguely make out the head of the corpse.

This person was obviously cut into several pieces by magic. The Blood Shadow Technique relies on the spiritual veins. If he dies, all traces will naturally disappear.

Ning Xiusu didn't seem surprised by the result, but he felt panic for no reason.

Where's Hanamibai? He should be heading in the same direction...

He frowned slightly, and concentrated his attention to investigate the place, and found half a gold hairband in the path ahead.

This was the one Hanamibai tied in his hair. He quickly walked over and picked it up to take a look. Could something have happened?

He immediately made hand gestures, hoping to use the technique of finding the qi and tracking the trace to know more accurately.

A faint and clear decree flashed across the fingertips, and a ray of white light emanated from the hairband, dispersing in the air like smoke. A faint figure passed by, and it seemed that there was more than one person. Who was Hanamibai with, and why did he suddenly change his way?

Ning Xiusu didn't have time to think carefully. He concentrated and carefully identified that it seemed to be heading south...

He soared into the air and rushed over there.

……

To tell where Hanamibai went, he ran all the way forward from the terrifying red earth wasteland, naturally following the North Star in the sky, and probably headed east.

But it was getting darker and darker, and I could hardly see the way I was coming.

There was no light from the stars or the moon, only a few faint rays of light penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the reeds, making it even more eerie.

The ground under his feet was sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and he didn't know whether he was stepping on snow or thick mud.

The villain said the body part and the head were three miles away to the east, so how come we haven’t seen them yet?

Hua Jianbai felt a little puzzled. He looked around and found himself at a wasteland. It was dead silent, with no insects or birds singing.

He wasn't sure if the direction was right. The only thing he was sure of was that Ning Xiusu would come looking for him after he escaped from danger.

But why haven’t you come yet when it’s dark?

I hope nothing will happen to the villain. Oh, where should I go now?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he felt. Looking at the messy reeds in front of him, he could vaguely see a winding path beside it.

Hua Jianbai walked forward in confusion. The air was chilly, and icicles still hung on the reeds. He could only hear a rustling sound in the breeze, accompanied by a fishy odor that made his hair stand on end.

He walked forward cautiously and fearfully, and suddenly found something sticky on his feet.

Hua Jianbai lowered his head and took a closer look, and found that it was a broken corner of a yellow talisman.

symbol?

How could there be a talisman...

He bent down to pick it up, and only when he got closer could he see clearly that it was half a piece of yellow talisman paper from a Wu Qimen person.

It's strange, how did the talisman on the corpse's head get here?

Hua Jianbai was still confused when he suddenly became careless and seemed to be pushed by something, and he stumbled forward.

This must have been a pretty rough fall, and he subconsciously used his hands to support himself on the ground. With a "pop", his palms touched the tangled water plants, which turned into a soft and sticky swamp.

The faint light of the stars in the sky is too weak, and a faint light is reflected on the wet mud in the water.

What bad luck! It’s a swamp…

Hua Jianbai was shocked. The place was extremely muddy. His arms sank straight forward into the icy mud and gradually sank.

The sticky muddy water in the swamp has a fishy smell and can quickly swallow a person whole.

it's over... it's over...

"Test... Test, number 367, the test target is too far away..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my head, repeating the same sentence over and over again like a wheel.

Damn Baizhu, what are you shouting about? I’m going to die!

He didn't dare to move. At the critical moment, the back of his neck was suddenly pulled by an invisible force, and he leaned back slightly like pulling a carrot, and the whole person was suspended in the swamp.

Before he could calm his heartbeat, Hua Jianbai turned his head and saw a pair of pupils that were as red as blood, one purple and one white, which looked extremely strange in the dim light.

Are you kidding me? I didn't fall over here for no reason...

Hanamibai understood what was going on and pointed at her angrily and shouted:

"Crazy girl, you're not dead after all, and you're out to hurt people again..."

Liuliu tilted her head and giggled, gently shaking the mountain ghost coins on her wrist, making a crisp sound.

"Hehe, little brother, I was just saving you, how dare you wrongly accuse me?"

"You were the one who pushed me, what are you talking about saving me?"

She pretended not to understand and blinked her eyelashes a few times in surprise. Her purple and white eyes opened as wide as crystal grapes.

"Then I'll let go..."

As soon as Hua Jianbai heard these words, the invisible force disappeared and he immediately fell into the swamp.

This brave man would not suffer a loss in front of him. He waved his hands wildly and shouted in panic:

"No, no... just listen and don't let go!"

A faint stream of light passed by, extremely bright in the night. Hua Jianbai seemed to be lifted up by the force and did not fall in, but the tip of his nose was only a palm's distance away from the swamp mud.

Liuliu giggled again and asked, "Little brother, why are you alone here? Where is the other mermaid brother?"

Hua Jianbai didn't want to tell the truth, so he tilted his head to look at her, frowning as he stared at that harmless face.

"Why are you asking? You're full of evil intentions. What tricks are you planning to play?"

Liu Liu stamped her feet vigorously and shouted, "Humph, you are the bad one."

Hua Jianbai thought of the yellow talisman paper and looked at her warily: "Crazy girl, that yellow talisman with the corpse's head always carries with him. You must have seen that weird thing before."

Liu Liu laughed and answered cheerfully, "Yes, I have seen it. If it wants my help, I will help it."

As she spoke, she pointed towards the tangled patch of reeds. In the faint light, she could see a pool of blood and flesh.

Hanamibai said in disbelief, "You killed it? Didn't you two know each other?"

"Um... I don't want to. It wants me to help untie the blood shadow, so this is the only way~"

Liuliu, with her hands behind her back and a playful look on her face, jumped in the mud on her bare bare feet, then raised her eyes and smiled:

"Little brother, tell me quickly, where is that mermaid brother!"

Hua Jianbai heard her ask again and said, "If you want to know, pull me up first."

"why?"

Hua Jianbai broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that she was unmoved, he pursed his lips.

"The fox fur is so wet and heavy. If you keep me hanging like this, my brain will be deprived of oxygen and I won't be able to remember anything."

Liu Liu thought for a moment, and her eyes on her small, snow-white face sparkled like crystals.

"You like to lie, otherwise if you beg me, I will pull you."

Hua Jianbai was furious and said angrily, "Pull it or not!"
