Returning from the abyss

Chapter 127 Red Moon
If the pure-blooded hunters sent by the mountain village still give the impression of human beings, these tall pig-faced people give the impression of pure butchers.

Zhang Fengxi's action of hiding in the bushes did not fool their eyes at all, but they were not in a hurry to deal with it.The pig-faced man who was leading the wolf squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold the long arrow on the vest of the corpse on the ground, and pulled it out with all his strength. He wiped the arrow on the corpse, and then put it back into the quiver behind his back.His companion walked towards the woods. Surprisingly, the bushes illuminated by the blue torch actually parted ways.

Seeing this scene, there was nothing to say at all. The four of them turned around and ran away at the same time. This uniform movement made the pig-faced man stunned for a moment, and then he hung the mace on his waist. On an iron ring, he reached out and took off the longbow from behind.

"This side! The trees here are denser!"

Lu Ning jumped over a tree root protruding from the soil, but Yetis, who was chasing after her, didn't pay attention, tripped her foot and fell into the bushes.

"Don't stop!"

Seeing that Lu Ning and Shu Xingruo were about to turn back and pull people away, Zhang Fengxi hurriedly shouted.At this moment, the three of them heard the sound of a bowstring, and hurriedly made evasive movements.

However, the quick evasion that is usually called it has no effect at this moment.

The long arrow circled an arc in the air, and pierced straight into the abdomen of Shu Xingruo who was hiding behind a tree.

Lu Ning's eyes widened. She could see the pig-faced man behind the archer who shot the bow and arrow in the distance. He was holding something with a blue light in his hand, making a prayer gesture, and the arrow was squatting at him. Turned a corner while praying.

"Are you OK!"

Ye Tisi had already got up, happened to see this scene, and ran towards Shu Xingruo.

This is a very wrong decision.

"The second arrow!"

Shu Xingruo leaned against the tree and sat down slowly, but the pig-faced man had already hitched another arrow, and the prayer was still going on, Lu Ning only had time to shout out——

Whoosh!
This time the arrow was faster, piercing Yetisi's shoulder socket in the blink of an eye, even lifting her up and nailing her to the same tree.

"Run! Leave them alone! It's over! It's over!"

Zhang Fengxi yelled and ran up and dragged Lu Ning to rush into the woods together. Lu Ning gritted her teeth, and finally turned around and ran.

But even running was useless, and the archer in the rear hitched a third arrow and aimed at the depths of the woods.

But when Lu Ning and Zhang Fengxi jumped out from behind a bush, what they saw was a steep slope with an angle of nearly thirty degrees!
The bowstring rang slightly, and the arrow came after.

Zhang Fengxi's body trembled violently, and when Lu Ning turned his head to look, a sharp arrow tip had pierced his waist and abdomen, and warm blood was still dripping.

"Run... let's..."

The thin man muttered the last two words and fell to his knees on the ground.

Lu Ning didn't care to check his injuries, so she reached out and tore off a few shrubs, put her feet under her body and went down the slope, and slid directly down!

Stones, dead branches, and gravel-covered slopes quickly scratched her hands, and even her clothes were worn out, but Lu Ning still raised her head and looked up——

A pig-faced man stood on the slope, holding Zhang Fengxi, who was dead or alive, in one hand, lowered his head, and stared at himself sliding down the hill.

He didn't come after him.

But Lu Ning firmly remembered all the attire on this person.

"Damn!"

Lu Ning looked up, but she didn't notice the sudden emptiness under her body.

Below the slope, there is actually a low cliff, and below the cliff is a rushing river.

Unprepared, Lu Ning fell into the water in a completely incorrect posture, and had an intimate contact with the not-so-deep river bottom stones with her head, and then fell into a faint.

========================
After waking up in a daze, there were severe pains on the head, hands, legs and ribs, and the discomfort after choking water in the nasal cavity, the whole body was soaked, and the clothes felt sticky on the body, which was extremely uncomfortable .

Lu Ning sat up slowly, and found that she was on a shoal. The river turned a corner from here and flowed into a cave not far away that was bigger than the one she had seen before. Washed up on the river beach.

She raised her left hand. The side of the little finger and a piece of the forearm were already bloody and bloody. The gravel inside had been washed away by the river, but there was no less risk of infection.The same may be true of other injuries on her body. She has no way to do emergency treatment, so she can only tear off a piece of clothing and wrap it around her hands to avoid contact with any dirty things.Then, she looked towards the cave in front of her.

"Try luck... How long has it been?"

Lu Ning pressed her forehead, but her hands were stained with blood clots that had begun to coagulate. She stretched her hands into the river to wash them, and then walked along the river towards the cave.

Think better, at least I am still alive and have a chance.

She didn't have time to think about what happened to Shu Xingruo and Ye Tisi, and she was forcing herself to divert her attention.The opening difficulty of the step-up test directly gave her a disqualification. The endless pursuit and all kinds of weird enemies formed an overwhelming attack, and even her body injury could not be exchanged for any information.

"Why is this cave downstream..."

Lu Ning walked into the cave, and this time the road to walk was longer than the previous cave, which even gave her the illusion that there was nothing at the end.

Then, the light appeared.

Lu Ning stopped, looked at the glowing moss in front of her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then lightened her steps and continued to move forward step by step.

Here is an even more dazzling "Moon Lake", with an area at least three times the size of the previous one. The houses by the lake are no longer empty, but faint lights flicker from it, reflecting the shadows of the murlocs.

No way.

Lu Ning smiled wryly, turned around and slowly left the Moon Lake without disturbing the murlocs inside.

Therefore, "Moon Lake" is not a place name, at least it is the name of multiple places, or even... a phenomenon.

She didn't know what the secret behind this message was, but she felt that her physical strength was losing, and her forehead began to feel a little dizzy, maybe it was getting hot?
The eyes are probably a little bloodshot, and even the faint light seen when approaching the entrance of the cave is red...

Red?
Lu Ning stopped in her tracks, and looked down at a stone with glowing moss that she picked out when she left.

Lan Yingying's light still looked magnificent, but it was not red, but the moonlight reflected on the stone not far in front of her was indeed soaked in blood-like bright red.

Before Lu Ning thought about the changes carefully, a suffocating force pressed her head down, and she lost consciousness again before she could even make a sound.

At this time, the outside world has been shrouded in bright red moonlight like the doomsday. There is no place to hide in the entire mountain range. Even in the woods, the light is scattered completely contrary to the principle of optics, and the originally pitch-black woods are scattered. The light turned blood red.

And the moon in mid-air is no longer a bright and clean jade plate, it has completely turned into a heart flowing with blood, splashing the blood wantonly on the earth, and the stars in the sky have also turned into evil ones. Eyes, if you accidentally look at them, inexplicable fear will immediately dominate your mind.

When the light gradually changed from bright red to copper red, there was a heartbeat in the sky and the earth.However, the ground at this time has turned into dead silence, and there is no longer a drum that can hear the sound of the doomsday bell.

Puff, puff, puff...

The heartbeat beat fifteen times before returning to silence.

===========================
Lu Ning stood under the warm and pleasant sunshine, the birds in the forest were singing happily, and he could even see a wild deer running towards the distance.Her forehead was slightly hot, and the wound on her hand was scabbing, but pus flowed out due to inflammation, and there was also a coagulated blood clot on her head.

What the hell happened last night?
She only remembered the bright red moonlight at the end, and when she became conscious again, she woke up from the cave, and the surrounding brightness increased a lot, and it was already daytime.

"It can't be... the Red Moon Ceremony has been completed this time, right? When is the next time? Oh no... too much time wasted..."

No matter how anxious Lu Ning was, her physical condition did not allow her to do too much physical activity.She hasn't eaten anything since last night, running around and being injured, not to mention the dirty blood ritual that took away a third of her physical fitness.

She walked slowly upstream along the flow of the river. The sun shone on her body and made her feel a little hot, but she was not sure if it was because of her fever.

After turning two turns, a gazebo appeared in front of my eyes, and in the gazebo sat three or four men with hoes and shovels, chatting.Lu Ning suddenly realized that it was too late to hide, and several people over there also saw her.

They immediately stood up, picked up the farm tools at hand and walked over here.

"People over there! Come out!"

One of the men shouted loudly.

Lu Ning leaned against the stone at the corner and took a deep breath slowly. She couldn't run at all now, probably because she couldn't run away from the cursed villagers in this village.

Now I can only pray that my appearance is not known by everyone, after all, so many people ran away last night.In addition, these villagers don't seem to directly attack outsiders?
Lu Ning gritted her teeth, turned and walked out.

"Sorry, I was exploring the mountains with my friends, and I accidentally rolled off the cliff. Can you give me some trauma medicine? I will pay for it."

The villagers were stunned for a moment, and after seeing Lu Ning's embarrassed posture, they smiled after a while.

"Are you going to explore the mountains?"

"Ah."

"How many friends do you have? They must be very anxious. The terrain in this mountain is complicated. Once you get lost, it's hard to get out." A man next to him chimed in.

"Ten or so. They are also veterans of jungle exploration. I fell into a river. They will definitely be able to find it along the river."

"Oh, that's great." The man at the front seemed to be really happy, "But sister, you are seriously injured, you really need to bandage it. Look, we won't hurt you when we come out to work. Medicine, you see, if it’s not like this, my house is not far ahead, let my brother take you back to apply the medicine, and we are working in the fields, if we meet your friend, I will notify you, how about it?"

"...That would be great, thank you very much."

The man immediately patted the shoulder of the person next to him and asked him to take Lu Ning back with him.
