A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard in the tent.
The sharp weapon hovered an inch away from the purple diamond mark.
It was firmly grasped by a hand, unable to move forward any further, and cracks spread from where it was grasped.
The next moment, the black shadow fell out with a "whoosh", followed by the sound of violent bones colliding.
Behind the black shadow, a pair of green eyes with murderous intent slowly rose.
The black shadow tried to get up from the ground, but before it could succeed, something heavy hit the back of its neck with a "bang", knocking it into the ground and merging with the ground beneath its feet.
Hong Xiao kicked He Pu Yuan with one foot, and the spear in his hand spun out a gun flower and finally stuck straight into the ground.
He crouched down and examined the remains of the attacker.
It was a pile of dry bones, without a trace of life in it.
"Skeletons?"
The red goblin picked up a piece of broken bone and looked at it in front of his eyes.
The dark environment does not affect his vision.
Unfortunately, he didn't find any useful information from the bone.
The five fingers suddenly tightened, and the bones turned into powder in the palm of the red goblin and flowed through the fingers.
He punched the pile of bones again. In an instant, a small gust of wind swept around his fist, and in the blink of an eye, the pile of bones was eroded into a handful of dust.
Fortunately, he was the only one sleeping in the tent, so no one would be scared by his actions.
After doing all this, Hong Xiao stood up, drew out the Hepu Kite, and walked out of the tent.
"It's useless to make mistakes while on duty all night." He spat softly and raised his hand to lift the curtain.
The wind and sand hit his face and blinded him instantly.
The red goblin groaned and swung his other hand forward, fiddling with the air.
At the same time, a whistling sound suddenly sounded, like an invisible big hand, completely blowing away the wind and sand covering the outside of the tent, and he was able to leave the tent.
There was a bright fire outside the tent, and the fires were burning quietly, emitting a warm glow.
The camp was silent, and it seemed that everyone was sleeping soundly.
Red Goblin brushed off the sand on his body. The sand stuck to his exposed skin, making him feel a little itchy, and the feeling made him very uncomfortable.
After that, he started walking around the camp with his gun, but after walking around the camp, he didn't see a single person.
The night watchman disappeared.
No wonder a skeleton monster sneaked into the tent.
Along the way, the tents were silent, without even a snoring sound, as if the people inside were already dead.
Finally, Hong Xiao stopped outside Baili Ling's tent.
Just as he lifted the curtain with the tip of his gun and was about to go in to take a look, suddenly, a sense of crisis surged in his heart, and he subconsciously turned sideways.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cold light, followed by a strand of falling hair.
Seeing this strand of hair, Hong Xiao's eyes suddenly became fierce. He twisted his wrist and shot the attacker hard in the back with lightning speed.
After a dull sound, the other party flew into the tent.
Enemies? When did they arrive? I didn't even notice them the first time.
With a hint of doubt, Hong Xiao stepped into the tent with a gloomy face.
Baili Ling and Zhao Gaoli should have been sleeping in this tent, but at this moment, there was no one inside except the attacker he had just beaten in.
It was a humanoid creature that looked like a mummy, with a layer of wrinkled skin tightly attached to the bones, and no flesh underneath.
The mummy's hand had mutated, or rather, someone had spliced a knife onto it, and it was now emitting a faint cold light.
This mummy seemed to have a brain. When it saw the red goblin coming in, it did not pounce on it immediately, but was vigilant against the red goblin.
Obviously, the failed sneak attack and the loss it suffered just now taught the mummy a lesson.
But the red goblin will not become alert and refrain from attacking just because the enemy is vigilant.
He walked towards the corpse with a light step, the tip of the gun pointed at the ground, leaving a shallow scratch on the ground.
The red goblin was acting aggressively, while the mummy kept retreating, keeping a distance from it, until its back touched the tent.
The mummy was slightly stunned and subconsciously glanced behind him. When he turned around again, a green light flashed in front of his eyes. He hurriedly raised his knife to block it. However, the next moment, he heard a crisp "click" sound, and the knife in his hand was split into two pieces by the blade of the Hepu Yuan spear.
How can ordinary weapons go head-on with divine weapons?
The mummy reacted very quickly and dodged backwards, but it was still a little slow and failed to dodge successfully. A wound ran diagonally through its entire body. If it was deeper, it would have split it in half.
Hong Xiao put away his gun with some regret, and the Hepu Yuan rotated between his fingers.
Unfortunately, I couldn't kill him with one blow.
He was worried that he might not be able to control his strength well and affect the people in the tent next to him, causing them to be injured or even killed. In the morning, his other self would blame him, so he deliberately reduced his strength.
But it’s not a big problem. At this rate, one more shot will be enough.
The red goblin flashed and disappeared in front of the mummy. At the same time, a green light quietly appeared behind the mummy, aiming directly at the neck.
Beheaded.
Just when he was about to succeed, a voice sounded in his mind.
"and many more."
This was not another self speaking, so Hong Xiao ignored it and continued his attack. However, his body began to lose control, and the tip of the gun tilted, only making a cut in the shoulder of the mummy.
Suddenly, a surge of anger surged into Hong Xiao's heart.
How dare you try to wrest control of my body from me at this moment?!
Before he could settle the score with Green Goblin, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The mummy twisted its body, purple light burst out of its hands, and emitted a dangerous aura.
not good!
With a loud bang, the entire tent was torn apart by a force and exploded suddenly. In the thick smoke, a figure wrapped in purple lightning flew out backwards.
This figure was the red goblin that was blown away.
When the mummy counterattacked, he was too close to the opponent, and coupled with the interference of the green goblin, he was unable to dodge the attack.
While still in the air, Hong Xiao had adjusted his body shape, and finally landed steadily. He then inserted the Hepu Kite into the ground to stop his retreat.
On the other side, the mummy also took the opportunity to chase out.
A streak of electric current shot through Hong Xiao's arm, bringing a tingling sensation.
He buried his head and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "You are looking for death!"
He was not saying this to the mummy, but to the green goblin.
He didn't care about the injury, but Green Goblin's behavior really annoyed him.
"Something's not right." Green Xiao said calmly.
"What?" Hong Xiao asked back impatiently.
Green Xiao continued to explain, "Sandstorms shouldn't be blowing at this time."
Hong Xiao was stunned at first, then he remembered something and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared by half.
Another self once asked him to memorize the contents of a booklet, so he naturally would not disappoint him.
He remembered that among the things he was reciting, there was this sentence:
Like sand falling on my body, it makes me itch quietly.
Hong Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at the mummy chasing him. Seeing that he was in a very good mental state, the other party had already decided to retreat.
"Kill your companions and bury them in the sand..." Hong Xiao muttered these words in a low voice, and his gaze towards the mummy became strange.
So... this is a companion?
So, I almost killed my companion just now?
