Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 3, Cyclone Rescue?
At this time, in Jiang Tian's field of vision, with the touch of his thoughts, a new prompt appeared again:

"The energy collection is complete, repairing... the energy is insufficient, and the body is slightly weak (78.3%)"

In an instant, Jiang Tian's originally slack body was suddenly infused with some invisible force as if it had been electrified, and his body and limbs suddenly became tense and powerful, and with the elongated breath Intermittently, the lung capacity seems to have increased a lot.

Then Jiang Tian touched the side of his head again. The coagulated blood clots and swelling seemed to be still there, but the top-heavy swelling and severe tingling had basically subsided.

This result could not help giving him more confidence and motivation.Although the trigger mechanism of this ghost thing is still unclear, it seems that it can be preliminarily confirmed that this is a change that will only occur after certain specific events (targets).

So he needs more opportunities to try to recover himself, even if he takes some risks for this, he will not hesitate.Is this considered self-defeating?He couldn't help asking himself with complicated emotions.

It wasn't long before Jiang Tian continued to move forward with the only lantern that was not seriously damaged, and there were messy footsteps in the distance again, and there was the movement of something bumping against the wall and rubbing a lot of sand.

Then, Jiang Tian also put the lantern on the ground with a flick of his eyes, and once again dodged into a corner of the earth wall, in the shadow where the light could not shine.Because, there is a high probability that those who come here at this time are the accomplices of the thief.

Then, accompanied by the shaking of the lantern projected on the wall and the faint call.A long shadow under the dim moonlight also sticks out of the road first.

"Sanpi, old hozen, you are finally back... How long will I have to wait for this matter; if I delay the matter of your husband, I will peel your skin to explain..."

However, Jiang Tian was suddenly overjoyed when he heard the words. First of all, this is obviously an insider, and he is also the leader who instigated the first two thieves; Greater probability.

As the sound of small footsteps approached, Jiang Tian just thought for a while, picked up a handful of dry soil from under the peeling wall, and threw it on the wall opposite the short alley with a sound, and scattered a lot of it. The rustle of debris rubbing against each other.

While quickly approaching the lantern and shaking, someone raised a knife and held the lantern and rushed towards the wall, and at the moment of flying into the air, a flat, bearded and slightly surprised brown face suddenly appeared.In an instant, he was hit directly from behind by a thrower wrapped in a plain towel in Jiang Tian's hand.

It's a pity that the other party's reaction was unexpectedly vigilant and quick. He turned his head and let the flying tile hit his left shoulder, and immediately cursed angrily;
"What kind of killer, An dare to attack us..."

However, Jiang Tian, ​​who waited quietly in the shadows, seemed to fly towards him with the sound of the wind, holding his "short spear" in his dantian, and using a bayonet technique to push forward, he immediately pushed aside the hasty horizontal stroke in the opponent's hand. The lantern on the shelf, among the broken and scattered papers, slid across the opponent's arm and poked it on the exposed waist and eyes;

In an instant, Jiang Tian felt as if he had punctured a tough water bubble or balloon; but the opponent hung down the handle of the knife regardless of his waist, covering his backstabbed waist, screaming sharply and changing his voice;
"Should... die..."

The next moment, Jiang Tian, ​​who threw away his weapon, elbowed him hard on the side of his face and ear, and suddenly shook his head and hit the wall and passed out.After tying up his hands and feet, Jiang Tian touched his mouth and nose again; fortunately, his breath was weak but at least he was still alive.He then resumed his routine search and identification.

Compared with the two skinny "evil boys" before, this burglar with a red face looks much bigger and more robust.What she wears is no longer the "half-length" that exposes one hand and arm, but a soap gray short shirt and long crotch that are enough to cover the upper body with only the forearm exposed.

Some inverted nails are not long but have a lot of grease, the texture of the finger pads and knuckles is severely worn, and there are also horizontal lines on the palm and scratches and thick calluses on the index finger.

Coupled with the splattered blood and grease on the inside of the clothes full of fishy smell, it seems that this is a person who specializes in butchering and uses knives frequently.

Then, among the copper coins, sweat towels, combs and other odds and ends found on the other party, Jiang Tian accidentally found a folded and crumpled flying money exchange slip with the stamp of "with five strings". It is the quality shop "Xiaojia Old Store" in Duantan, Xili Shuikou Lane, Dongshi City.

It also strengthened his certain idea, because this thing is not something that ordinary people can withdraw and use.According to the vague memory of his predecessor, this needs to be guaranteed by a corresponding identity.Perhaps, this is a clue to the future.

But the last thing he discovered made his mood sink.It was a handful of braided human hair, in different shades of old and new, not something the average butcher or street rogue would own.

Afterwards, Jiang Tian poured a handful of dirty water on the other party's face, and woke up slowly amidst some choking sound.And Jiang Tian unhurriedly wiped a few blood stains on his face, and said in a strange and sharp voice:
"I ask you to answer, if you answer wrong, you will be punished..."

As soon as the words fell, he smashed the opponent's foot with a stick, and the brown blood stains soaked out of the boots in an instant, and then continued to speak in the distorted expression of mourning:
"Who are you? Who are you? Where did you go?"

"God damn dog slave, do you know who you are doing right..."

However, the thief stiffened his neck and cursed angrily: After seeing Jiang Tian's face clearly, he changed into a strange and ridiculous expression.

"You don't know anything, yet you dare to chase after me? Ah!!!!"

After a while, Jiang Tian could only let go of the guy who didn't know much, because when he knocked down the opponent's left hand from both feet, he found that the man was so angry that his eyes were slack, and his body gradually became cold and broke. breath.

It was only then that Jiang Tian realized that the hastily packed wound around his waist had been loosened by his struggle at some point, and a large amount of blood was bleeding on the ground.There is no more living, but Jiang Tian's heart is becoming more and more heavy and vigilant.

After picking up this extremely crude dagger with a wooden handle again, Jiang Tian's faint sense of familiarity and security returned.Although it is too long compared to the army's dagger fighting, it is still a usable weapon.

It's a pity that the foundation of this body is still a little weak, and the short-term burst is barely enough, but it can't last long under the intense action, and it is necessary to take a good breath and regain strength.

However, after this delay, when Jiang Tian pursued it again, he found that the scattered footprints and petals in front of him disappeared before a fork; in front of him were two lanes still shrouded in the dark night, like It is a den of beasts who choose and devour.

However, a reminder in green appeared again in his field of vision: "The second stage of mission guidance; energy collection, repair completed, body health (100%)."

"Function unlock: Peripheral data collection, the second stage of the mission "Salvation", the goal mark is completed."

Immediately, a vivid green arrow appeared at the top of Jiang Tian's field of vision, pointing directly to the distance shrouded by many city square eaves and large shadows.

And at this time, the long-lost moon finally broke through the thick cover of clouds again, and cast a bright and graceful light on the ground; immediately, all the found things were covered with a layer of frosty white like a veil.

At this time, a crisp voice like an auditory hallucination suddenly appeared in Jiang Tian's mind: "By the way, the two little ones, Han Zai'er and Grete, just sprinkled marks along the way, so that when they get back path of……"

"However, the squirrels ate up all the torn bread. Now, they could no longer find their way back. They could only walk around in the woods hungry and thirsty until they came across a strange school. Houses, the walls and roofs are made of a lot of stone honey, jaggery, and countless nuts and dried dried fruits."

However, amidst the hallucinations, what Jiang Tian chased into according to the signs was a winding dead end alley. At the end of the alley, there was only a solid high wall, and there was nothing else.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to gesture and measure the top of the wall, and then jumped a few times, but he was sure that this was not a place he could easily climb and pass.However, the sign that reappeared in the field of vision was still firmly pointing in a certain direction on the wall.

At this time, the gauze-like moonlight ushered in the thick clouds again, and it seemed to become dim again; Jiang Tian, ​​who was walking around, became a little anxious, but accidentally kicked a stack of empty baskets, and his body suddenly fell. Just stopped.

Because the seemingly empty basket seemed to be very heavy and strong, and it remained in place almost unmoved; then Jiang Tian noticed the traces of trampling, dragging and moving among the white and ash scattered on the ground.

Then he began to pull out the stack of baskets vigorously along the traces, and immediately revealed a gap between the dog hole and the small door that only allowed people to bend down and pass through.

When Jiang Tian saw the chiseled and polished traces on the edge of the irregular small door opening, it was obvious that they had existed for a long time.Then he touched a silk thread that tore through the fabric, and the directions suddenly became clear, all of which strengthened his determination again.

Passing through this hidden small door opening, you will be faced with a wildly overgrown vegetation that covers most of your vision, as well as the outline of a rather large courtyard; but among the weeds that are more than waist high, a path has been trampled back and forth long ago. Hidden trails.

On the other hand, in the collapsed and ruined buildings in the distance, you can still vaguely see the exquisite traces of the original pavilions and pavilions; a few big trees growing randomly, like monsters with teeth and claws, threatening the existence of all living beings.

What a natural scene for a ghost film; Jiang Tian couldn't help but sighed secretly in his heart.With the dimming moonlight and the night wind that began to grow eager and blew the grass, he walked softly towards the decayed building in the direction sign.

After all, the few he killed before were just helpers in charge of disposing of the corpses and the aftermath; the real master or the culprit who caused all this situation has not yet shown his face.
This is obviously a half-collapsed abandoned temple or something.After walking half a circle along the mottled and peeling walls and crooked beams and columns, Jiang Tian finally saw a little bit of swaying fire, which came out dimly and gracefully from the cobweb-streaked gaps in the building.

However, at the next moment, a black shadow under the corner wall suddenly made Jiang Tian stop suddenly.Because it was a man leaning against and curled up into a ball, smacking his mouth while drooling, and snoring softly at the same time.

He slept so deeply that he could hear a clear drumbeat of snoring through the wall, and then he fell into a deeper and sweeter dream with a crisp sound of twisting his neck In the middle.

"Don't thank me, I wish you a good dream."

Jiang Tian murmured secretly in his heart full of malicious interest.

However, the next moment came the sound of rustling footsteps, which made Jiang Tian dodge again and retreat into the shadow of the building.Then I saw a man with undressed short hips and two hairy legs walking out of the wall, his dark face was full of impatient expression.

He stretched out his hand to push the person who was leaning against the wall and seemed to be sleeping soundly, but he fell softly to the side.The next moment, a palm wrapped around his neck and strangled his head, face, mouth and nose, while the other hand slashed hard at the side of his neck with a short knife; immediately, the fierce struggle and exclamation turned into splashes of blood And bubbles rattling in vain.

Afterwards, Jiang Tian, ​​who had cleaned up the outside, took his place, and stuck to the broken wall to spy on the situation inside.But it was a rather cramped and messy abandoned inner hall; a small open space was cleared out among the thick accumulation of dust, weeds and sundries.

The first thing that catches the eye is a few plates of cold wine and food placed on a broken mat with a collar, and a few stout figures sitting on the ground in colored clothes with their faces off, grabbing their mouths and drinking and eating to their heart's content; There is also the faint reflection of the blade reflected by the dim light.
