Chapter 655 Black Hand Bush
Strange sounds of wind echoed in the Valley of the Dead, and old wooden boards creaked.
An absurd and chaotic farce was unfolding on the plank road.
The thirteen new followers were all struggling with those black hands.
These black hands have protruding black veins on their palms, and their fingers move in a way that is very different from humans. Once caught, one has to use all his strength to break free.
And when struggling to break free, you must also be careful not to make too big movements, otherwise you may fall off the cliff due to loss of balance.
Fortunately, the plank road was solid and down to earth, and everyone had worshipped the gods at least once, so they were not completely powerless to resist.
Wu Xian used the grappling hook of the Soul-Hooking Lock as a melee weapon. Every time a hand came out, he would swing his claws like an angry cat, scratching the black palm and forcing it to retract.
There seemed to be no blood in these black palms, only some kind of sticky liquid like grease, dripping on the ground and emitting a foul smell.
In addition to protecting himself, Wu Xian also protected the middle-aged woman in front of him, Zhong Xiuwen.
For the safety of the team, she used the "small characters" to destroy the suspended stairs. Now she has no ability to resist the black palm and should be temporarily protected by others.
The other new members of the family also had their own battles, but the performances of two of them were particularly eye-catching.
One was Liu Chen. When he saw his wife Qu Ying being attacked, he swung his arm and smashed at the palm. Every touch would make the black palm retract in pain. As the number of attacks increased, the clothes on Liu Chen's arms began to tear, revealing a pair of inhuman arms.
The arms are covered with a green chitinous shell with spikes. This is the magical power Liu Chen obtained from worshiping God - Mantis Arm!
Although the phrase "a mantis trying to stop a chariot" is often used to mock, this magical power is not weak. It not only improves the protection of both arms, but also enhances Liu Chen's arm strength. It is considered a very practical magical power in this blessed land.
In addition, Fu Dahai, who ranked third from the bottom, was also very brave.
He used a picked-up stick as a weapon, with a ferocious expression and an excited state, as if he had taken stimulants, and beat back all the black hands that dared to show up. These attacks that frightened others turned it into a game of whack-a-mole for him.
Wu Xian even suspected that losing the soul might lead to an improvement in a person's physical fitness.
In addition, in a place that Wu Xian didn't notice, Wang Jiudan bit the arm that stretched out from the hole, tore off a dirty finger and swallowed it whole, with a satisfied expression on his face...
Everyone was fighting hard, but the number of black arms did not decrease. Every time an arm was defeated, a new arm would emerge.
Everyone's strength will eventually run out, but the number of evil spirits in the rock wall is unknown.
If this continued, everyone would either be dragged into a small cave and torn to pieces, or fall off a cliff due to exhaustion.
And what worries everyone the most is not the arms that have emerged, but the empty holes.
God knows whether these pits lead to the inside. Even if they get rid of the 'palm grass' here, they will still have to be nervous on the road ahead.
Those dark holes, like a pair of black eyes, looked at every newcomer with mockery.
"Shh, shh!"
Wu Xian was thinking about how to break the impasse when he suddenly heard a booing sound behind him.
The sound came from Guo Xiake, who put his finger to his mouth to remind everyone not to make any sound.
"Everyone keep quiet!"
Wu Xian suddenly noticed that among the crowd, only Guo Xiake, who should have been very unlucky, had never been attacked by the black palm!
sound……
Wu Xian suddenly realized what was going on. Thinking back carefully, the first time Wu Xian was attacked was after he repeatedly fiddled with the lighter wheel against the dent, causing a hissing sound.
The appearance of a large number of black arms occurred after Qu Ying shouted for help.
The evil spirits in these caves have limited vision, just like frogs in a well. They can only observe the outside world through narrow holes.
Moreover, they are usually crowded in narrow and dark tunnels, and are probably in a sluggish dormant state all the time. Only if there is a big enough noise, or if they are unlucky enough to be seen by the awake evil spirits, will the evil spirits be triggered to attack.
Guo Xiake has no arms around him because he didn't make any sound after the attack.
So Wu Xian quickly passed the information on, and everyone deliberately kept quiet during the fight. The number of black arms that appeared suddenly decreased a lot, and everyone got a chance to catch their breath.
It can be kept quiet, just solving the problem that the new arm has.
Some evil spirits have already known that there are people outside, and are stretching out their black arms, groping and scratching up and down and left and right, their nails leaving marks on the rock wall.
I’m afraid these black arms won’t retract for a while. Do we have to compete with the evil spirits for patience on this plank road?
When everyone was on the plank road, their physical condition was deteriorating every moment!
Huang Yuanjiang, the family member who was protecting Lan Xuan, was communicating with everyone while making gestures and lowering his voice.
"Does anyone have any fire-related talismans? I suggest we follow the hollow and set fire to the tunnel inside!"
"If the phosphorescent fire on the plank road is caused by the gathering of these evil spirits, then there should be a large amount of flammable materials in the tunnel inside. Burn these things and we can pass!"
When Wu Xian listened to his plan, he thought it made sense at first. However, after thinking about it carefully, sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly waved his hand towards General Huang Yuan, fearing that someone would actually implement this plan.
Huang Yuanjiang asked in confusion: "Why not? There is no blood in the arms of these evil spirits, only something like grease. They must be very easy to burn!"
Lan Xuan covered her forehead with her hand and said helplessly: "If the fire is really strong, it will heat up the rock wall as well, and flames will burst out from the concave hole. If the rock wall is burned and exploded, we will die without a burial place."
"Have you ever tried teppanyaki? I don't want to become a teppanyaki person with you..."
General Huang Yuan thought for a long time before he suddenly shuddered and put away this dangerous idea with a look of horror on his face.
Lan Xuan shook her head and sighed helplessly.
As a family member and companion, Huang Yuanjiang is a very trustworthy person. He is not greedy, not petty, and is willing to work hard and fight bravely when encountering problems. That is why he and Lan Xuan were able to survive in the last blessed land.
But in contrast, General Huang Yuan lacks thinking when encountering things, and sometimes he is even a little bit stupid...
After the plan was rejected, General Huang Yuan touched his head.
"Then, I'll think about it again."
Lan Xuan rolled her eyes and patted his face.
"Don't do that. You should use your abilities to deal with evil spirits..."
Lan Xuan hadn't finished her words when her face suddenly changed. She hurriedly pushed Huang Yuanjiang on the chest and took a step back.
The next second, something smelling of blood fell between the two of them.
