Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life - Chapter 388
Leaving the road and walking along the dirt road, the more you walk, the more everyone finds that the terrain is gradually descending. The evidence is the center of gravity of the continuous advance. The grass on both sides is slowly growing and growing. Walking, everyone has to After struggling to push through the grass, looking back, I could no longer see where the road was when I came, only the endless grasslands undulating with the wind.
A few men can say that although the grass tip has surpassed their heads, they can still see the surrounding situation with a little foot pad, but Cellulu, Elena and the ghost brother are petite, and the tall grass completely obscures them. ‘s vision.
However, Brother Ghost and Cellulu were still walking slowly, and they were not hindered by this situation at all, as if there was a straight road ahead to guide them.
Elena doesn’t have that much spare time, she can’t see the surroundings, which makes her feel extremely insecure. Although Illumi and Hisoka are protecting her side by side, Elena, who has experienced ghost marriage, already understands. A little bit, the premise for them to protect her is that she also has to be self-improvement, not hold back, and can fight monsters along with her.
This made Elena feel that she couldn’t trust them completely, and also made Elena feel very aggrieved. Since they like her, why can’t she just accept their shelter and protection without worrying about anything? ? Otherwise, can this be called liking? Isn’t liking to give her wholeheartedly?
But look at Hisoka and Ilumi, when the ghosts got married, they were in danger. One actually threatened her, saying that if she couldn’t keep up, she would give up on her, and the other was always expressionless when she was slow to respond. Rebuke her a lesson, what is this! Elena thought unhappily, if they treat her like this again, then she will definitely ignore them! Let them have a taste of being left out and know how to properly please her!
Those who are favored are always fearless, so Elena, who is very confident in their deep feelings for herself, intends to be arrogant.
Elena took another look at Pariston. He followed closely behind Xiaoya. On the way, he spent most of the time talking to Xiaoya, although Elena knew that he was testing and rhetoric. A trace of sincerity, but Irina was still very unhappy. He finally opened his mouth to talk to himself, but he was always interrupted by Hisoka and Ilumi, intentionally or unintentionally. That kind of defensive attitude made it difficult for Irina to stop him. But still feeling uneasy.
She knew that she liked Hisoka and Ilumi, but this love for Pariston seemed to be a little less. I really don’t understand how she could hesitate between them for so long? She obviously likes Paris Stone better. If Paris Stone confesses to her at this time, she will definitely refuse other men without hesitation!
But why does he always maintain a vaguely ambiguous attitude? Elena glared at Pariston again with a hint of anger and resentment.
As for Xiaoya, this person always makes her feel like she is facing a natural enemy. In fact, she really doesn’t like walking with this person, but she has no other choice.
Irina suffocated and crushed the grass under her feet, and looked up again to look at the little girl who was walking in an unusually leisurely manner. This speed is too slow! She’s almost an old cow for a walk, why doesn’t she think about others at all? I don’t know how to speed up!
She couldn’t help but question with some unease.
“We can’t see anything, so we won’t get lost, right? If we follow her, can we really find that hanging neck mountain?”
After a pause, she muttered again.
“Although even if I find a place, it doesn’t seem to be good.”
“Hmm, but we might not be able to find the right place by walking alone~” Hisoka shrugged.
Illumi’s voice was cold, but his words contained a hint of comfort.
“Everyone knows in their hearts that the situation is not right, so you can make plans.”
After realizing that the surrounding grass was dense and the dirt road had completely disappeared, everyone didn’t think much about it, and chose to follow the little girl who still seemed to have a plan. Dangerous and possibly lost, they would rather follow Xiaoya and Gui younger brother who are unknown friends and enemies.
Elena also knew that this was the truth, she was just complaining, so after the two finished speaking, she shut up.
From time to time, some rustling sounds can be heard from the tall grass, as if there are small animals walking through it, and it seems like someone is hiding inside. Nothing suddenly jumped out of their path, but it was enough for everyone to raise their vigilance to the highest level.
At this time, Shan Hadaya, who was walking at the end, suddenly noticed a swaying shadow in the grass behind him, and he immediately asked out loud.
“Who!”
No one answered, and Shanhadeya didn’t have the urge to step forward to check it out. Seeing that there was no movement, he just turned his body sideways, staring at the movement over there, and continued to catch up with the others.
But horribly, he found that the shadow seemed to be moving with him, and the direction of the movement was gradually approaching him. He was shocked and immediately shouted to Hiso and the others in front.
“Something’s wrong, something has been following us behind me!”
Everyone stopped when they heard it, and when they stopped, the shadow seemed to stop moving. At this time, the wild wind blew, and the grass swayed with the wind, revealing a corner of the black clothes, as if someone was standing there motionless. look at them.
“A human? Or… a ghost?”
Shanhadiya immediately pulled out the dagger under his feet, held it tightly in his hand, bowed his back, and asked solemnly.
Hisoka stared there for a while with sharp eyes, and suddenly a few cards flew out. The cards with mental power quickly cut through the tall grass of Qiren that was blocking the view, and the grass fell down like wheat, revealing The true face of that black figure.
Surprisingly, this is not a person, but it is not a ghost, but a scarecrow in the shape of a human, dressed in black tattered clothes, all limbs are fixed on a rough and heavy cross wooden stake, composed of straw. A piece of old yellow paper was attached to his face, on which a black pen was used to outline a pair of numb facial features, flat eyes, flat mouth, lifeless and emotionless.
But, strangely, there was a thick black knot around the scarecrow’s neck, and behind the knot was half a fifty centimeter-long rope that seemed to be worn and broken.
At this time, under the dusky sun, there was a desolate weed, and the scarecrow hung its head slightly forward, like a man who had hanged himself. The wind blew, and its limbs trembled slightly, It was as if he could get off the stake in no time.
Although the scarecrow was weird, but after waiting for a while, I didn’t see any movement from the scarecrow. Naturally, it was impossible for other people to delay their progress. At least Xiaoya and the ghost brother didn’t seem to be affected at all, and they were still moving forward. The two of them walked slowly, as long as they were a little behind in this kind of place, they would soon be invisible.
Therefore, the few people no longer hesitated, and continued to chase after Xiaoya when they turned back.
Shanhadiya was still cautious, and looked back at the scarecrow from time to time. After all, he was the last one. If the scarecrow was agitated, he would be the first to face him.
However, until the scarecrow completely disappeared from his sight, it just stood there motionless, and Shanhadya never looked back.
And when they were far away, the scarecrow was still swaying slightly as the wind blew, but at this moment, the scarecrow’s head, which had been drooping slightly, suddenly slowly lifted up, and on the numb facial features, the flat corners of the mouth suddenly turned up A curved arc, weird and gloomy.
The rope behind the head suddenly floated out of thin air, floating, and the wooden stake that embedded the scarecrow into the soil was slowly pulled out along with it.
But at this moment, the grass next to it suddenly began to vibrate violently. Then, a piece of grass was pushed aside, and a young woman stumbled out from it. shouting.
“Anyone? Is there anyone? Where the **** is this? Is anyone here?”
She saw the scarecrow that was completely floating in the air, and the woman’s eyes widened in horror. In her pupils reflected, the scarecrow slowly turned to look straight at her, and the corners of her flat mouth turned evilly higher and higher.
The woman finally collapsed, screamed terribly, turned around and pushed aside the grass to try to escape.
A knot slowly emerged behind her, chasing after the running woman. Above the knot, on the tight rope, the other end was connected to the scarecrow’s knot.
The woman turned her head in horror and ran hard, but it was still nowhere near the speed at which the scarecrow and the knot were chasing. With a swipe, the knot was firmly wrapped around the woman’s neck.
The strength of the woman’s rapid forward movement was stopped by this sudden pull. She rounded her eyes and made a sound in her throat. She firmly grasped the rough knot that was tightening her neck, and began to try desperately. break free.
But the knot became tighter and tighter, and the scarecrow gradually flew higher and higher, pulling the woman up together. The woman struggled desperately, trying to hook something on the ground, but her toes were gradually pulled off the ground. All vacant.
She kicked the grass under her feet in a random way, but she gradually became weak, and finally she stopped moving. In the long projection of the setting sun, she saw only a still figure with its head hanging down. , with an upside-down scarecrow above.
The picture is eerie and silent.
Irina suddenly looked back suddenly and asked suspiciously.
“Did you hear anything?”
Hisoka covered the card with his mouth in disbelief, “It seems there is, it seems there is no.”
Illumi frowned slightly and glanced behind, not wanting to make ‘Celullu’ worry too much, so she just said.
“Don’t care what the sound is, we’ll just go our way.”
Everyone else felt something, too, but no one wanted to make a fuss.
Pariston didn’t want to be nosy either, but he still planned to ask Xiaoya if she knew anything, and if she did, she would know what the situation was.
“Little Miss, is there anything wrong with this place? What was that scarecrow just now? Is it a ghost?”
“It’s almost like a paper stick.” Xiaoya replied lightly.
Everyone was immediately startled, and when they looked at the dense grass around them, they became suspicious. Who knows if there are a large number of scarecrows hidden behind them.
“Little sister, do you know how this scarecrow will attack?” Hisoka asked with a smile.
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen it before.” Xiaoya’s dull eyes seemed to be looking at a mentally retarded.
“Hmm, okay~”
Hisoka’s smile stiffened for a while, before turning over the cards and returning to Elena.
“Little Lulu, Illumi, pay attention to yourself.”
Illumi nodded, without Hiso to say, he also knew.
As for Cellulu, as long as she is careful, there is no attack that can actually hurt her, so the two of them don’t worry, just remind her and pay attention to her by the way, don’t put 100% on her, this is for her Confidence in strength has nothing to do with loving her or not.
Hisoka was even joking.
“Little Lulu, if we can’t handle it, we’ll have to rely on you.”
Elena was a little nervous. Where did Hisoka get the confidence to believe in her? She didn’t know what abilities she had at all. What else would she have other than the suspected dehydration ability before? Why did she remember who she was, but she didn’t remember how powerful she was? Has the memory not completely returned?
Elena could only nod randomly and say hello, but she was praying in her heart that she would never encounter anything, or, at least, if she did encounter something, she could give her a hint and tell her what she would know.
At this time, the grass next to it started to move violently again, and the group immediately stopped vigilantly, watching the grass being pulled away, a man ran out, and seemed to see them, he seemed to be frightened and stopped suddenly, and more He quickly covered the back of his neck, threw himself on the ground with a plop, and landed on his face.
Seeing that the man on the ground didn’t lift his head, and just kept his corpse upright for a long time without moving, Irina finally asked curiously.
“You…what are you doing?”
The man seemed to move in fright. For a moment, he finally raised his head slightly carefully, making sure his eyes could see them, hesitantly looked at them for a moment, and asked.
“Are you…are people?”
Irina said with some humor.
“Of course we are humans, who are you? Why do you do such a strange move?”
The man looked at them for a while, but when he saw the ghost brother, his eyes suddenly shrank violently, and he buried his head suddenly and screamed at the same time.
“Don’t lie to me! That kid is not a ghost!”
Like a leech or a leech, he kept flat on the ground and shrank back quickly, trying to hide in the grass behind him.
Seeing this, Hisoka stepped directly on the man’s back to prevent him from retreating, then bent over and lifted him up by twisting his collar.
“What are you running away from? We haven’t asked clearly yet~”
Tightening the collar would have caused difficulty in breathing, but the man suddenly clutched his neck and struggled desperately, while crying loudly and hysterically with a look of horror.
“Don’t! Don’t kill me!!!”
A stinky smell overflowed from the man’s sex, and Sisso let go of his hand in disgust. When the man landed, seeing him try to lie on the ground again, he unhappily nailed a poker directly through the man’s palm, threatening coldly.
“Well, if you dare to bow your head to be an ostrich again, believe it or not I will kill you now? Look up! Answer my question.”
The man screamed in pain, but this attack also made him seem to realize that what he saw was not what he imagined, or, under the threat of life and death, he finally understood the current affairs, and the man lifted up tremblingly. His head, but his hands still covered his neck.
Hisoka narrowed his eyes. “Now, can you tell us what happened? Why did you do such a strange move?”
The man glanced at the ghost brother in horror, and Hisoka said impatiently.
“Even if it is a ghost, it has nothing to do with you, but if you look at it a few more times, you might really die!”
The ghost brother Hee Hee gave a gloomy laugh, glanced at Cellulu, and then his voice floated and said gloomily.
“…That’s right…I hate people looking at me like this…Are you trying to die…”
The man immediately stopped looking at the ghost brother in shock. He glanced at Hiso and the others, and realized that except for the ghost brother, the others were obviously human, so he asked hesitantly.
“Who are you…? Do you know where this place is?”
“I asked you the question, not you.” Xi Suo Nian pressed directly at the man and said coldly.
Then the man trembled and stopped talking. Hisoka glanced at the man and asked first.
“Remember your name? Where were you when you woke up? How long have you been here?”
“My name is Kleiman, and I was in this haystack when I woke up. I woke up yesterday afternoon. I always wanted to go out, but now, I’m still in the grass. I seem to be lost.”
The man answered quickly, and even said far more than Hisoka asked.
Remembering the name, it was the next day, which means that although he did not clear the level, he still got the basic reward, at least he remembered his name, then this grass pile seems to be a scene, and everyone almost immediately understood this. point.
Pariston asked.
“Have you encountered scarecrows? Why are you lying on the ground with your neck covered? It has something to do with the way they attack?”
Kleiman suddenly widened his pupils in horror as if he had remembered something terrifying, and said in a hurried tone.
“That’s right! There are scarecrows here. They will put ropes around people’s necks and hang people. I saw them hang three people like this with my own eyes. I was very scared, and then I thought of a stupid way, just like just now. , cover your neck and lie on the ground.”
“That’s useful?” Hisoka asked with an eyebrow raised.
Kleiman nodded and shook his head.
“I’ve only tried it once. Although it won’t be hanged immediately, it will guard. I stayed up until dawn and the scarecrow suddenly disappeared, but as evening approached, they seemed to come out again.”
“You saw three people hanged, but you were fine. Can I ask what was going on at the time?” Pariston asked with a smile.
Kleiman hesitated, looked at Hisoka’s playing cards, and said reluctantly.
“I met these three people one after another. I thought about taking care of each other and finding a way to go together. Then I met the scarecrow. Every time I ran into a single scarecrow, I was lucky and the scarecrow caught up with the others. After hanging a man, he stayed still, so he escaped.”
Good luck and good strength, otherwise, it is not the other person who will die, but the person in front of you. However, this strength is only good compared to ordinary people. If you meet them, it is still a scumbag.
Since there is no threat, and after inquiring about the scarecrow’s attack method, Hisoka lost interest. He looked at Xiaoya and Brother Gui. After they understood it, they continued to move forward.
“Hmm, let’s keep going too.” Hisoka said to Irina and Illumi.
The two nodded, and the others quickly followed Xiaoya.
Kleiman hesitated for a while, but still caught up with them. As long as he didn’t encounter a large number of scarecrows, whoever escaped quickly would have a chance to survive, which was much safer than traveling alone.
