Chapter 178: Out in a Rush



I saw that densely packed wooden men had surrounded the old tree and the ancient house. Yunwen and the other two were pushing against the door, and the wooden men were also pushing. I saw that one of the leading wooden men was holding the remains of another wooden man in his right hand. Upon closer inspection, it was Senior He Kui. The posture of the leading wooden man seemed particularly disrespectful, as if he was holding the corpse of an enemy.

Now I remember where the neat footprints in the snow came from. They were left by several of the nearly company-sized wooden men.

I raised the Golden Palace in my hand and took out the wooden piece of the Heavenly Master's Talisman, thinking that I had to lure them away from here first, otherwise the door would not be able to hold out for long.

"Hey! You wooden idiots, my grandpa is right here. Come find me if you dare." After a provocative remark, I immediately released my hand gestures, turned into runes to borrow energy, controlled my sword fingers, condensed my energy with the Golden Palace, and a wind-powered bullet rushed over and hit the wooden man in the lead.

With a bang!

All the wooden men turned around, twisting their bodies with a clacking sound, and stopped knocking on the door. Their eyes were bloodshot and glowing red. They held various weapons in their hands, mostly knives. The leading wooden man held a Guan Gong sword in his hand. They began to gather towards me. There were hundreds of wooden men, and it was really terrifying to see them.

I turned and ran, and the man holding the big knife shouted, and immediately the wooden man quickened his pace and ran towards me.

Where did these wooden figures come from? Yesterday I patrolled the streets and alleys here, and I didn't see even a single piece of extra wood. How come they suddenly appeared? So suddenly!

I ran all the way, but the other side were very good at chasing me, and the advantageous direction was occupied in advance. Some wooden men climbed onto the roof and aimed and shot with special bows and arrows, just to block my way to the north gate. Therefore, I had only one choice, which was to go through the sacrificial area and seek a way out in the river inside the city.

But I had already tasted the bitter fruit the night before and almost drowned in an ice hole. If I went into the river again, no one would rescue me. And those wooden men obviously had an advantage over me. Their bodies were made of moldy wood. If I didn't go into the water, there was no chance of drowning. Therefore, several wooden men had already gone into the water in advance, ready to come ashore and completely block my escape route.

Senior He Kui before was also a wooden man. He said that he was from the Milong Camp. Maybe these brothers are the same. They are all brothers from the Milong Camp. In this case, I will give it a try and use my ultimate move.

Seeing them approaching step by step, I could only unbutton my coat again, rummaging inside, and finally took out the dragon-seeking jade halberd, shouting, "Seniors! We are all family, I am also from the Dragon-seeking Camp. You know Senior Li Mufeng, right? This jade halberd was given to me by him. Please give me some face and be flexible. Why fight with swords?"

As I took out the jade dagger, the leader of the wooden men raised his hand, and all the wooden men stopped moving. I saw that there was a way, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The leading wooden man walked towards me, lifted the jade dagger on my neck with his hand, and said in a very turbid voice: "Li Mufeng?"

I nodded!

But I noticed something. It was interested in my jade scepter, which meant that it and the wooden man behind it might be from the Milong Camp. And it could shout at all the wooden men behind it, which meant that its status was the highest among them. Since it was called the Milong Camp, there were about 500 people in one camp. Later, I heard that they killed each other and many people died. The number left was about the same. Among these people, it had the most official titles. It was either Li Mufeng or Wang Gang!

"Kill." said the wooden man, then grabbed my neck and lifted me up.

My neck bones immediately started crackling. I had no idea how powerful this wooden arm was. I immediately pinched its wrist joints with both hands, but they were all wooden cylinders. Not to mention whether I could pinch anything out, it was obvious that the other party had no pain nerves.

The ultimate move didn't work and instead had the opposite effect, which was something I never expected.

I could only struggle hard, trying to pry its fingers open, but no matter how I moved, it was of no use. Its strength was so great that it did not conform to the laws of physics at all. Soon I was about to die because I could not breathe, my face turned red, and my tongue stuck out.

Before I died, I was still wondering why it wanted to kill me? Did it take so much effort to get its descendants to come just to kill me? What was its mentality?

At this time, I saw it open its wooden mouth again, and I saw that strange smell emanating from its mouth again. It was the maggots. They began to emerge in piles and were about to drill into my mouth. I was almost sick to death, but I could feel the strength of its arms weakening. Is this guy, like the red-eyed monster, relying on maggots to fill his body in order to survive?

Seeing those disgusting things approaching me, I felt like crying but had no tears. I thought it would be better for me to drown two days ago than to die from such disgust.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a continuous banging sound. The wooden man in front of me immediately turned around to look, and the maggot had not succeeded. I took advantage of its strength to disperse, immediately pried open its hard fingers, fell to the ground, and held my neck and coughed loudly.

I was also wondering what was coming to make such a noise, and when I looked up, I saw the nine-tailed white fox charging through the wooden men, dodging left and right. Its nine tails immediately wrapped around the heads of the nine wooden men, and with a few clacking sounds, they all fell off! Of course, there was always a loophole, and many of the wooden men's slashing and chopping also hit the nine-tailed white fox.

The reason why the wooden man in front of me was attracted was not because those subordinates had their heads twisted off, but because what the nine-tailed white fox was holding in its mouth was the Yinshi Pot.

The nine-tailed white fox did not want to fight. After attracting the opponent's attention, it immediately jumped away and disappeared into a black shadow. These woods immediately chased after it. No one cared about my life or death anymore.

The wooden man really has a wooden head!

This means that the beautiful fox fairy saved me once again. But she saved me like this every time, so why did she plan to eat my heart in that dream?

I didn't have time to think about it, so I took the opportunity to run back to the old tree house and knocked on the door to ask the girls to let me in. When they heard it was my voice, they opened the door after a while.

"Sorry, we were hiding in the cellar just now, so we didn't open the door in time." Yunwen said hurriedly.

"It's okay, but is there a cellar in this house?" I asked.

"Not only does it exist, but it's also quite good. Its structure is very similar to the furnishings inside the bug on the city wall mountain. There are desks, weapon racks, and many top-secret files. Come down and take a look." Bai Lu said.

After locking the door, I hurriedly followed them. I saw Yunwen pull out the embroidered spring sword from the wall, and immediately there was a sound of a mechanism being activated. I was surprised, but then I smiled. Others didn't understand, but Yunwen and I understood very well. It was the mechanism of "from now on, an ordinary man will not know the sword" of Senior Li Mufeng. We had already solved it on the top of Claw Dragon Mountain, and the pattern was exactly the same.

We saw a crack in the floor, which then grew larger and larger until the entire underground staircase was exposed. Yunwen put the knife back into the scabbard on the wall, and the stone slab slowly closed back up. We also took advantage of the short time and hurried down the stairs to the bottom.

The eternal lamp and dragon birthday incense are really the standard configuration. There is also a desk, a room full of documents and files, a weapon rack, and a few sealed jars of wine with a strong smell of aged wild fruits. It must be at least five hundred years old, which made me swallow my saliva and smack my lips.

But the alcohol is here to stay, so let’s focus on business first.

Yunwen held my hand, and Bailu led the way. We came to the handsome case. Bailu picked up a file and said, "Brother Zhou Bo, you are as depressed as we are. How come these wooden men suddenly appeared and flooded like a disaster? Take a look at this."

I coughed and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I don't understand these classical Chinese, how about you translate it for me? Besides, there is good wine here, and I have food in my pocket. Let's eat and talk at the same time, isn't it wonderful?"

The girls were stunned for two seconds, and Bai Lu immediately raised her thumbs up to me and said, "Brother Zhou Bo, you can still think about eating at this time? You have great concentration."
