Nightmare Apostle

In Xiangma Town, he had fought against Bai Yishu and Ping Xihou, and he knew how terrifying the apostles of the Youzi generation were. Even if he and Qu Muzhi worked together, they might not be their opponents.

But it's too late to say anything now. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. The opponent is the leader of the Yuyuan Sect, and he will definitely not let the two of them leave.

"How are your injuries?" Qu Muzhi had an injury on his chest, and a bloody wound was still bleeding out.

"It's okay." Qu Muzhi reminded, "This person's magic weapon is a long pole, which can be retracted and retracted freely. It can extend up to 4 or 5 meters. Be careful not to be touched."

"Just one magic weapon?" Yang Xiao hesitated.

"More than that." Qu Muzhi turned his head and glanced at the stone statue in front of the cement house, and whispered: "I have fought with that sect master before, and I only saw a long pole, but judging from the way this guy died, that guy The sect master still has at least one magic weapon in his hand."

At this point, a big battle is unavoidable. Yang Xiao only hopes that his opponent is the master of the third sect of the Eight Sects of Yuyuan.

There might still be a chance.

"Captain Qu, are you here to follow evil cultivators?" Yang Xiao asked the doubts in his heart. Not long ago, people from the Yuyuan Sect caused trouble in Rongcheng, and it was Qu Muzhi who was responsible for handling it. Now the two sides encountered each other again at the Confucian Academy of Sciences. , this is too much of a coincidence.

Not wanting Qu Muzhi shook his head, "No, I'm here...it's just a private matter."

Since it is a private matter, it is something that is not convenient to talk about. Everyone has secrets, and it is not easy for Yang Xiao to ask.

Now there is another matter before him that must be dealt with.

"Captain Qu, there is one thing I want to tell you clearly. The person who kidnapped me before was me, and that girl is my friend." In the later battle, only the cooperative side of the two had a chance of survival. At that time, the magic weapon was used up, Qu Muzhi will definitely find that he doesn't want to separate the two of them because of this incident.

As soon as these words came out, the scene went cold for an instant. Qu Muzhi stopped talking. His silence frightened Yang Xiao. He even had to devote part of his energy to be wary of Qu Muzhi, lest he attack him with his carbine and stab him in the heart. .

"Sure enough, it's you..." Qu Muzhi let out a long breath and did not look back.

"The fact that you caught that girl was all a conspiracy of the Yuyuan Sect. They wanted to instigate internal fighting in our patrol department." Yang Xiao immediately explained.

"So sneaking into our director's office late at night and writing a poem on the wall is also a conspiracy of the Yuyuan Sect?" Qu Muzhi asked.

"This... this is a misunderstanding." Yang Xiao felt quite anxious. Now he admits it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Qu Muzhi couldn't remember it after he went out. All he had to do was stabilize him first and let the two of them work together to fight the enemy. As for leaving the gate of the Confucian Academy, he was still Emperor Ming's late night snack.

Based on his current relationship with the Yuyuan Sect, Yang Xiao decided that in the future, whenever he did something sinful, he would report it to the name of the Yuyin Sect. If he did something good, he would report it to Yang Xiao of the Patrol Department. The reputation of the Yuyin Sect was not good anyway. , it is impossible for someone to come to verify.

"Captain Yang, the grievances in Rongcheng have been wiped out. You saved me. I will keep this favor in my heart." Qu Muzhi looked solemn.

"Captain Qu deserves to be the number one captain in Rongcheng. You're awesome!" Yang Xiao gave a thumbs up. At this moment, he finally took out the human bone stick hidden in his clothes. Otherwise, he would have to keep his hands in his clothes. It would be too awkward. .

Time passed by, and the Yuyuan Sect leader never showed up. However, Yang Xiao and Qu Muzhi did not dare to let down their guard. They both knew that the man was nearby.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao glanced at a nearby bush inadvertently, as if he had something in mind: "Captain Qu, just now...were there any trees there?"

"Yes, there is a stone five steps to the right of the tree closest to us. I had it when I first got here.

"Qu Muzhi was also paying attention to the movements nearby.

Yang Xiao stared at the tree for a while. He really didn't see the problem, but his subconscious told him that something nearby must be different from when he first came here.

Half a minute later, Yang Xiao suddenly noticed that the tree seemed to be closer to him, not as close as could be seen with the naked eye, but... it felt like it!

Almost at the same time, Qu Muzhi took action. He quickly pointed his spear at the nearest tree from the air. The spear was as fast and fierce as a dragon entering the sea. The next second, the thick tree trunk was penetrated by a strong force, leaving a trace on it. A hole as big as the mouth of a bowl.

"It's not an illusion..." This scene also caused Yang Xiao to frown, "The tree is real. Could it be that I had misjudged it before?"

"Captain Yang, there's something wrong with these trees. They... are approaching us. The whole bush is squeezing towards us." Qu Muzhi spoke very quickly, holding a spear in front of him, "I'm better than you." "Oh, there weren't that many trees around here at that time."

With a few words to wake up the dreamer, Yang Xiao finally found the source of the strange feeling in his heart. The problem did lie in these trees, but it was not only these trees that moved over, but also the land under these trees, moving in a very difficult to understand way. way.

Taking out the ghost lantern, Yang Xiao wanted to see the truth behind these trees, but as the green halo covered it, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel secretly frightened. The green light of the ghost lantern disappeared like a mud cow into the sea, disappearing instantly.

This must be the trick of the sect leader. It seems that this person is quite cautious when it comes to his cooperation with Qu Muzhi. Of course, Yang Xiao knows very well that the other party is more afraid of the ghost Rakshasa behind him.

Thinking back on when he had fought against Qu Muzhi, the latter's mental strength was much stronger than his own.

Unknowingly, the surrounding trees had already rushed in. At this moment, the nearest tree was less than 5 meters away from me.

meters, looking inside through the gaps between the trees, the woods were gloomy and filled with a milky white mist,

I don't know what's hidden inside.

"Captain Qu, don't wait any longer, let's take the initiative and break in to see!" Yang Xiao tightened his bone stick,

determined.

But after waiting for three seconds, there was no reply from behind him. Yang Xiao quickly turned his head back, and the next second, he found that there was no figure behind him, Qu Muzhi...disappeared!

The two of them are now on the same rope. Facing the ghost-level apostle, the two of them can only have a glimmer of hope if they work together. Qu Muzhi will never abandon him and act on his own. The only explanation at present is that Qu Muzhi was tricked.

The sect leader was not sure that he could kill both of them at the same time, so he used a sleight of hand to separate them first,

and defeated them one by one.

"Captain Qu?" Yang Xiao raised his voice.

After not getting a reply, Yang Xiao no longer waited, and before the rushing trees swallowed him, he took the lead and broke into the woods.

He led the way with a ghost lantern in his left hand and held a human bone stick in his right hand to protect his side. The light from the ghost lantern slightly dispelled the white fog in front of him. It was a forest, but the trees here were not as lush and green as they looked from the outside. Instead, they were sick and had strange shapes. The deeper he went, the more obvious it was. In less than 5 minutes, there were almost only dead trees left.

After stopping for a moment, he found that the tree trunks were mottled and there were no leaves on the trees. It was a bare scene. There were layers of fallen leaves under his feet. He couldn't step on them with every step.

This was not the world near the hospital, but a very special space, similar to his mirror world.

There was no doubt that this was the domain of the sect master.

Kou Mi wore....

Suddenly, Yang Xiao turned his head and heard a strange sound behind him, like someone stepping on fallen leaves, but when he turned his head, the sound disappeared again.

He thought about it and felt that it was not like the sound of people walking. When he looked back, there was no one behind him, only dead trees.

That feeling... It was like these trees were following him, but how could that be possible?

Kou Mikong passed through...

The sound came again, this time closer to Yang Xiao. Almost as a subconscious reaction, he grabbed the human bone stick and hit it in the direction of the sound, but the attack missed as expected, there was nothing there.

It was not suitable to stay here for long, Yang Xiao chose to leave, and this time his pace also accelerated a lot. Inadvertently, he kicked a hard object under his feet and almost fell down.

His toes hurt a little, as if he kicked a big stone. Out of curiosity, Yang Xiao turned around and saw a little gray exposed from under the fallen leaves he kicked away. After walking so far, it was the first time he saw something other than trees and fallen leaves. Yang Xiao looked around and used the pole of the ghost lantern to push away the fallen leaves near the stone little by little. When part of the stone was exposed, Yang Xiao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It turned out to be a stone head.

No, this is a stone statue. Most of the stone statue is still buried under the fallen leaves. The texture is the same as the word "Dao" No. 22 in front of the cement house!

This is a corpse!

There is no doubt that this person was also trapped in this Lost Forest, and eventually failed to leave. He turned into a stone statue and stayed here forever.

Kou Michuan.....

Yang Xiao turned back suddenly, and the familiar footsteps sounded behind him again, this time the distance was closer. Yang Xiao immediately started to dig the stone statue. He wanted to find out how this person died, so that he could be prepared.

Fortunately, the fallen leaves were soft and it was very easy to dig. After digging half of it, he tried to drag the stone statue out of the ground, but failed several times.

Yang Xiao felt something was wrong and continued to dig down. Soon, he saw that the lower half of the stone statue was almost wrapped by dense tree roots, one layer wrapped in another. What shocked him even more was that the roots of these trees were like human limbs, and there were dry blood vessels and blue veins on the surface. These roots drained the flesh and blood of this person!

It was also at this moment that Yang Xiao finally knew what the sound was just now. It was the roots of these ghost trees crawling under the fallen leaves!

The next second, before Yang Xiao could react, his left foot was entangled by a tree root that suddenly emerged from under the fallen leaves,

pulling him down first, and then dragging him away.

In a hurry, Yang Xiao grabbed the human bone stick and whipped the tree root again and again. The originally tough tree root gradually became withered. Finally, after dragging Yang Xiao more than ten meters away, it finally couldn't hold on and broke apart. Only a small piece of dead branches was left wrapped around his ankle. With a strong pull, it broke inch by inch, and it felt like dry flesh and blood.

Climbing up from the ground, Yang Xiao gasped and sighed that the human bone stick was indeed a rare treasure, worthy of being selected by a good sister.

At this moment, the fog around him was much thicker than before. This should be the depths of the Lost Forest.

He injected a large amount of spiritual power into the ghost lantern, and the green light lit up, dispersing the fog within a certain range around him. The next second, a scene appeared in front of him that made people feel cold. There were dozens of stone sculptures of various shapes scattered everywhere.

Some of them were even fused with the tree trunks because of their age, revealing only half of their twisted stone faces.

Koukoukongkong...::

Before Yang Xiao could observe carefully, he suddenly heard a strange friction sound. It was not the sound of tree roots moving under the fallen leaves, but more like... something was struggling.

Besides Yang Xiao, the only living creatures in this forest were Qu Muzhi and the leader of the Yuyuan Sect. Yang Xiao hurried over with the ghost lantern.

Following the sound of struggling, Yang Xiao found a crooked-neck tree with a thick trunk. The roots of the tree were densely packed, like a python, tightly binding a person. The person was miserable, half of his body was petrified, and his face was still exposed. Tianzi No. 97 mask.

It's Qu Muzhi's mask.

"Captain Yang..." The trapped Qu Mu's energy was like a thread, and the only remaining head was about to be swallowed up by the wriggling roots. Life and death were only on a thin line.

"Captain Qu, hold on!"

Yang Xiao immediately rushed to save people. The second before he approached Qu Muzhi, the human bone stick behind him was replaced by a kitchen knife.

The knife slashed at Qu Muzhi's neck. Unexpectedly, it was blocked by a protruding tree root and only hit his shoulder.

When the attack failed, Yang Xiao immediately retreated, but he was still half a step too late and was hit in the back by a tree root as thick as a calf.

With this slash of the knife, the surrounding dead woods dissipated at an extremely fast speed. In a few blinks, they returned to the hospital garden. At this moment, "Qu Muzhi" not far away also revealed his true appearance. He was a man wearing a face. The guy with the prison number 44 mask.

Dressed in black, she looks like a woman from the figure.

The woman stared at him for a moment, and then spoke in a dark voice, with a rare cigarette voice, "How do you know I'm fake?

"Really Qu Muzhi wouldn't be that vulnerable." Yang Xiao replied decisively.

"He was injured by me in the hospital building before. He was seriously injured. Aren't you worried that it is true?" The woman ignored the injured shoulder and saw a layer of tree bark appearing on the wound. structure,

Cover the wound quickly.

After a pause, the woman slowly said: "If it is true, you will be charged with killing your companions."

"Don't make trouble, auntie." Yang Xiao smiled, then stopped smiling, "It doesn't matter if it's true.

Since he is so vulnerable, he deserves to die. Keeping him alive will only hold me back, so I can help him out. "

"Auntie..." The woman seemed to have automatically ignored the rest of the words and only remembered these two words, with murderous intent visible to the naked eye erupting from her body.

"Aunt, aunt, aunt, grandma, grandma, old woman, thief, which one do older women like you like to listen to?" Yang Xiao asked with a smile.

The woman smiled instead of being angry, looking at Yang Xiao with burning eyes, and the words squeezed out from between her teeth made the latter shudder:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. When I catch you, I will let you know how good my aunt is. Don't worry yet."

This sentence frightened Yang Xiao, making him forget about strategy and couldn't help but yell in the direction behind the woman:

"Why don't you start waiting for the wedding wine?!"

The next second, a spear shot through the air and fired three times at the woman's standing position. The huge force exploded on the woman's shoulders, back, and legs respectively, and the woman was thrown away. With one blow, she was defeated. Mu Zhitong hit the drowned dog, followed quickly, grabbed the spear, and turned the stab into a sweep. However, after the woman stabilized her body, she quickly took out a black swinging stick, shook it hard, and the length of the swinging stick instantly exceeded Qu Muzhi's spear. The two sides exchanged moves, and it turned out that Qu Muzhi suffered a big loss.

"This is... a fishing rod?!" Yang Xiao looked at the thin rod that was 4 or 5 meters long, and was in a daze for a moment.

Until the woman threw the fishing rod towards him.

It was too late to retreat at this moment. Yang Xiao immediately raised the ghost lantern in his hand to block. But when the fishing rod hit the ghost lantern, the green flames in the lantern immediately went out. The next second, a scene that Yang Xiaojue did not expect appeared. When the fishing rod was retracted, a vague figure emerged from the extinguished ghost lantern.

It was a little girl with a braid that stood on top of her head. The girl had her head lowered and her face could not be seen clearly. Her limbs were hanging down and motionless. She was tied under the fishing rod like a dead fish and was just fished away.
