I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 142 Salvation
This gloomy environment alone is enough to make people shudder, Lu Xizhi is cold from head to toe, his heart is filled with fear, his scalp is numb, his body is weak, and his calves are trembling...

"Are you a human or a ghost!" Lu Xizhi was courageous, but still stuttered when he asked.

However, the 'female ghost' did not answer, it was still that weird face and weird smile.

Perhaps it was instinct, Lu Xizhi yelled loudly, wanting to use his voice to call her back, and grabbed a thick branch next to him with his hand, and pulled it hard, holding it in his hand to prevent him from attacking at any time.

As a group animal, human beings are actually extremely afraid of fighting alone, especially in such a strange and terrifying place.

Through the sparse and broken light in the woods, one could tell that the sun was already shining. Lu Xizhi tried her best to open her eyes and looked in the direction of the 'female ghost'. Now, she could finally see her eyes clearly. How terrifying it was look!Especially the red eyes, vicious and vicious, as if to devour her alive.

Lu Xizhi took a step back in fright, and something even more terrifying happened.

'Female ghost' suddenly walked out from behind the tree slowly, she walked very slowly, laughing while walking, the laughter was weird, like a crow screaming, Lu Xizhi heard it very uncomfortable, as if something sharp was scratching her eardrum, and then She rushed towards Lu Xizhi suddenly.

Lu Xizhi didn't dare to act rashly, turned around and ran, the 'female ghost' roared like a beast from her throat.

The bitter wind of the knife whizzed past Lu Xizhi's ears, but she was already more awake than before, the other party must be human!
But thinking of the bones she saw just now, and the mystery of the woman in red, she was afraid that there would be another ambush, and there was only one word in her mind - escape!
The tense atmosphere of chasing each other was only a few tens of meters away, another stronger gust of cracking wind tore through the air, rushed between Lu Xizhi and the 'female ghost' with a bang, separating them.

"Miss Lu, go behind that big rock."

It's Beixue!
"She's not a ghost, be careful." Lu Xizhi didn't continue to run away, but stood side by side with Beixue in a row, and reminded loudly.

Seeing the man descending from the sky, the woman in red frowned slightly, her strange smile froze on her lips, and she stopped in her tracks.

"Who are you?" Lu Xizhi asked her.

The other party tilted his head, staring at them through the messy hair.

Lu Xizhi suddenly had an idea in his heart and made a bold guess.

"Lu Jinzhi?" She said the name carefully.

Sure enough, when the 'female ghost' heard the word Lu Jinzhi, her eyes changed suddenly, and she disappeared fiercely, replaced by a kind of shock and shrinking.

She flung out a puff of smoke and disappeared in front of the two of them in an instant.

Actually there are hidden weapons and defenses.

Bei Xue was worried that Lu Xizhi would be alone again, and gave up her plan to continue tracking.

"Miss Lu, you can make it easy for us to find. Someone set up a formation in this forest. When we found it, you were nowhere to be found. Fortunately, Donghai asked everyone to search along the four exits of the formation, and finally found you. gone."

"Sorry, I paid too much attention to the clues around me at the time, and I didn't know when I lost it."

Beixue shook her head quickly, "It's as long as the girl is fine, I'll send a signal to others right now."

"Okay, let them come here. This may be part of the former Jinchan Village. I suspect that the woman just now...is Lu Jinzhi. The reason why she is playing tricks here is probably to avoid the pursuers."

"Yes!" Bei Xue found a high ground, took out a bamboo pipe from her bosom and blew a few times, then returned to Lu Xizhi's side.

"I reckon that woman can't run far, let's look carefully."

"Miss Lu, the person who set up the ecstasy array can cast spells. Before Donghai and the others come, it's best for us not to separate. You look for it in front, and I'll just follow."

Lu Xizhi also felt that it was better to be cautious at the moment, so she agreed to her arrangement.

When they walked under the tree where the female ghost had stayed, Lu Xizhi lowered her head and opened her eyes wide, not letting go of any details, while Bei Xue listened to all directions and watched all directions to be vigilant.

It didn't know how long it took to cooperate like this, but Donghai and the others still disappeared. Fortunately, the fog had cleared at this time, and the dense forest was much brighter than before.

Beixue looked up at the position of the sun, estimated that it was already half past noon, "Miss Lu, take a rest, I have dry food here, let's eat some first."

The two found a relatively dry place to sit down, and Bei Xue took out two pancakes from the luggage.

Looking at the ruins not far away, Lu Xizhi asked Bei Xue if he had heard of Jinchan Village.

"I seem to have heard that many people died in that plague."

Lu Xizhi sighed and said, "Just now, I saw bones in every house during the walk, and there were even more than one in some houses."

Beixue said: "At least on Huangquan Road, the family is reunited."

After eating dry food, drowsiness gradually came up, Lu Xizhi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally fell down.

This morning's frightening journey had brought her too much shock and mental stress, and she fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

After an unknown period of time, she woke up startled by the cold. She was very sensitive to temperature when she slept. Perhaps it was because of this environment that she did not fall asleep.

What time is it, why is it so dark?
Lu Xizhi rubbed his eyes and was stunned for a while, and when his eyes got used to the darkness, he slowly turned his head to look at his side, the cold night wind whistling and rushing in his ears mindlessly.

Where is Beixue?
Lu Xizhi tightened her clothes, huh?Bei Xue should have covered her with this thin blanket.

Suddenly, her hand seemed to have touched something cold, and a black figure that looked like a rope jumped up and rushed to Lu Xizhi's eyes.

She shivered, her heart hung up, and she held her breath, not daring to catch her breath.

Above the head, a waning orange moon hangs feebly in the air. In the gray sky, there are only a few stars that can shine through the heavy clouds and mist.

But even in such a dim moonlight, Lu Xizhi could still tell that there was indeed a snake in front of him, and it was a poisonous snake.

This venomous snake was at least one meter long. Its body was dark brown, and there seemed to be some yellow and white horizontal stripes on its abdomen.

God, Cobra!It turned out to be a poisonous cobra!
Lu Xizhi knew that snakes have very poor eyesight. They are cold-blooded animals that rely on vibrations to sense things around them.

She didn't dare to move rashly, and she didn't even dare to make a sound, so she could only keep her posture as still as possible, staring at the poisonous snake with both eyes.

This forest is so f*ckingly disturbing, today is really a wave of ups and downs.

She focused on the snake, thinking that if it came to attack, she could only grab it with her bare hands, and then throw it away, so as not to let it have a chance to attack her vitals. If she was bitten unfortunately, she would pray to God this time. She was reincarnated as a peerless detective.

Fortunately, this is just a cobra, because this kind of snake is not very active in attacking people, but it can also confront opponents for a long time.

The cobra was only less than one meter away from Lu Xizhi, and it kept making 'chichi' sounds in an attempt to scare the opponent away. Its vicious eyes kept staring at the prey, as if it was thinking about advancing or retreating.

The palms were already dripping with sweat, the back was chilly, and the bean-sized cold sweat was dripping from the forehead. After a long time of not moving, the body was extremely uncomfortable, some places were stiff, some places were itchy, and some places were sore.

How long do we have to fight?Why hasn't Bei Xue come back yet?

do not care!Lu Xizhi gritted her teeth, held the corner of the quilt secretly with both hands, and endured it for a while, if the snake still doesn't leave, she will find a way to escape.

Just as she had made a decision in her heart, the cobra couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of venom in her direction. Fortunately, Lu Xizhi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and subconsciously rolled up the quilt to block it, and couldn't hold back any longer and screamed: "I and You worked hard!!!"

The cobra was rolled into the quilt by her, and she didn't know if it had crawled out. She jumped up and stomped on it a few times, then immediately jumped away from the spot, and ran to the house not far away in embarrassment.

"Miss Lu!" Bei Xue finally rushed back.

"Be careful, there are poisonous snakes under the quilt!" Lu Xizhi was still in shock: "It's a cobra!"

"Girl stand there and don't move." Bei Xue told her calmly while walking towards the quilt.

Using a sword to pick apart the thin blanket, she found that the snake had died. She turned her head and said with a smile, "Young lady is very powerful."

Lu Xizhi ran over quickly, and saw, that's right, the snake was lying limply in the grass, motionless, and an indescribable liquid trail was sprayed out from the back of the snake's tail.

"I'm most afraid of this mollusk."

As if to verify her words, the limp snake's body suddenly shook a few times, and bounced with a "bass".

Lu Xizhi yelled, and took a few steps back.

Bei Xue flung a handful of branches and stood in front of Lu Xi.

After a few jumps, I was dead.

Lu Xizhi sneaked a peek from behind the branch, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

But Bei Xue became alert: "Just now I heard some movement nearby and went to check, but when I arrived, there was nothing, and then I heard a girl's cry."

"Is it some kind of beast?"

Bei Xue shook her head with a complicated expression.

"Is the girl strong enough? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. It's impossible for Donghai and the others to have not arrived for so long. I'm afraid someone is obstructing them."

Lu Xizhi was shivering from a sudden gust of cold wind, the night was long, and the boundless black was shrouded in a heavy haze.

She wanted to pick up the thin blanket from the ground and put it on her body, but just when she touched the edge of the blanket, her body shook suddenly, and she retracted her hands subconsciously and screamed, ah!
Moist, creamy, slender…

Another snake, it seems there is more than one!
Bei Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly lit a torch with a torch and pointed it forward!
The surrounding grass, bushes, and tree branches...everywhere you can see are covered with countless snakes, not only cobras, but also glasses with bigger heads, thicker bodies, and more colorful colors King Snake!

All the snakes stood upright, slowly moving towards the two, spitting snake letters viciously, and looking at them coldly, as if seeing delicious food, with greedy eyes.

The two stood back to back, and Lu Xizhi also lit a torch to shine forward, and found that more snakes were constantly flocking to him.

"I'm afraid, someone deliberately attracted this snake." Lu Xizhi was furious: "If you let me know who set the snake, I will never forgive him!"

She suddenly remembered the medicine bag Wang Yuanzhi had given her, took it out and sniffed it, then handed it to Bei Xue, asking her to tell if there was an antidote.

Bei Xue smelled it one by one, "Although there is no antidote, this pack is a herbal medicine to repel mosquitoes. The girl hangs it on her waist, and it may delay some time."

Lu Xizhi quickly took the medicine bag in her hand, and said to Beixue, "Quickly, light these dried branches, the snake will not dare to come over."

The two of them kept holding the torches to burn the approaching poisonous snakes. After a while, a smell of burnt flesh began to permeate, mixed with the smell of burning branches. For a while, the flames were dazzling, and they seemed to be surrounded by a Circle the fireball, and drive countless snakes away.

Cough, cough, Lu Xizhi inhaled a lot of smoke, but he didn't dare to stop his movements. Those snakes were so desperate, they completely ignored the fire circle, and still rushed forward one after another to rush in.

"Who is it!?" Bei Xue suddenly shouted angrily towards a direction in the dark night.

Lu Xizhi looked over and saw a black figure passing by with a bamboo stick in his hand.

"It's him, he's the one who used the flute in his hand to attract the snake!" Beixue wanted to go after him, but he was worried that Lu Xi was here alone to fight against the snakes.

"Miss Lu, Beixue!!"

"Donghai!!" Lu Xizhi was overjoyed!The savior has arrived.

She was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "We are here, Donghai!"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of figures rushed towards them, jumped directly into the fire circle, and jumped into it to kill the snake together with them.

"Dong Hai came late, the girl was shocked." Dong Hai said annoyedly while chopping the snake.

Lu Xizhi could see that he was anxious, but there were more important things at the moment, "We're fine, hurry up, someone deliberately lured the snake here, right there!"

She pointed to the direction where the shadow disappeared.

"I'll go right away!" Donghai took the three men in black to chase into the night.

When the rescuers arrived, the pressure on the two of them was reduced by half. With the fleeing of the snake leader, the snakes gradually slowed down and stopped coming into the fire circle. They disappeared without a trace after a while.

"Miss Lu, are you okay?" Beixue asked her nervously, carefully inspected her around her with good eyes, and made sure that she was not bitten or stained with venom, and then he was relieved. If something goes wrong, they don't even want to live.

"Beixue, do you want to help? The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and they are not prepared in the East China Sea."

"Don't worry, girl, Donghai has the best martial arts among us." Beixue comforted her.

Lu Xizhi nodded, looking at Xingyun who hadn't said a word, the secret guard was very taciturn, she wanted to ask something, but she was afraid of running into trouble, thinking to herself, she might as well wait for Dong Hai to come back.

"What does the girl want to ask?"

Unexpectedly, Xing Yun took the initiative to speak.

"Bei Xue said, you should have arrived long ago, did you encounter any strange things?"

Xing Yun spoke very simply: "A strange thing happened indeed."
