Chapter 0258 fish slipping through the net
"Confirm the situation of Ike and Ricca. "Why did Guan Heng think of this, he quickly ran to the village and searched for the traces of the two hunters. However, he could not find Ike and Ricca, but saw all the animals in the horse shed and all the horses were lying on the ground.
Suddenly, Guan Heng suddenly guessed the key: "By the way, there is something wrong with drinking water!!"
"After I entered the village, I didn't drink a drop of water, but hurriedly ate." Guan Heng was looking for the water source in the village, thinking: "In addition, the people in the village and the bride-sending team, and even the horses were not spared. The only thing everyone can get in touch with at the same time is definitely the only source of water!"
When Guan Heng found the well, traces of Ike and Ricca were also found. They fell next to the well, holding a utensil for scooping water in their hands. They must have just had a few sips when something suddenly went wrong!
Guan Heng's face was so gloomy and terrifying at this moment: "What kind of power is it that turns the water source in the village into a deadly thing? Could it be that someone here secretly uses poisoning?"
Unable to figure it out, Guan Heng shook his head: "Forget it, now I will help everyone into the house first, and then find out the reason why they faint. What exactly is in this well must be carefully investigated."
Just as the two hunters in front of him moved to a nearby residence, they suddenly felt a slight trembling on the ground. Guan Heng knew that it was not good, so he didn't care about anything else in a hurry. He suddenly hid behind a nearby straw stack, concealed his body and then looked at the situation.
I saw that at the well where Guan Heng was just now, a clamoring sound suddenly sounded. Suddenly, a thin left hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the well, and a disheveled figure suddenly turned over from the well!
"Pu ..." The man's feet fell on the flat ground, his whole body shook, and the ground was covered with ticking water stains. It was obvious that he had been hiding in the well and was not noticed. He suddenly heard a sharp and weird smile giggling: "Hahaha, are you all falling down? Then it's my turn to do it!"
Guan Heng, who was hiding behind the straw stack, suddenly moved his ears and immediately heard that this was a woman's voice. He suddenly felt a little puzzled in his heart: "Strange, I seem to have heard the voice of this man!"
The strange woman with disheveled heads looked dry and unpleasant to herself, and she was panting and seemed to be weak. At this moment, she was next to the horse shed.
The footsteps staggered, and the strange woman shook her body and walked to the front of a collapsed horse. She suddenly stretched out her dead hand like a bird's claw, and slapped her finger into the horse's skull. "Swish!" A phantom of a skeleton as red as fire charcoal suddenly appeared above the woman's head. As soon as the skeleton lit and darkened, a huge horse suddenly collapsed with a level visible to the naked eye!
"Uh uh uh..." The weird woman trembled all over. When the dry hand was pulled back from the horse's skull, it seemed that she had recovered her normal skin color. The woman muttered to herself: "Guyin, you old bastard, sucked away half of my blood and soul power, causing me to suffer a great loss of life. If I hadn't taken the opportunity to escape, my life would have been destroyed in your hands.
"Old thing, didn't you expect it? There is a village nearby, hahaha--" The weird woman with a disheveled head suddenly laughed at the sky: "Don't look at my energy being severely damaged, just use a little trick to put some poisons, so that everyone here will be unconscious. As long as I absorb all their blood essence, I can restore my original appearance and life span!"
Guan Heng, behind the straw stack, heard the woman talking to herself and frowned slightly: "I thought someone was messing around in the village. It turned out that I was lucky enough to escape from the secret cave of Guyin!
This strange woman with a loose head and thin body turned out to be the ancient skull clan. Gu Yin's sister Alexi was almost drained from her blood soul power by her elder brother in Gu Yin's secret cave. Her original appearance, which was once a decade old, also turned into an old woman with wrinkles and tired faces due to her lifespan!
In luck, Alexi took advantage of the chaos in the stone chamber and gritted her teeth and exploded with one hand to shake off her evil bone puppet, tearing the short-range space transfer scroll, and then escaped. However, her blood soul and life span were consumed for more than half, and she struggled to run to the vicinity of the village, and was exhausted.
The people of the ancient Skull clan are all cruel and vicious people, and Elexi is no exception. In order to survive, she sneaked into the village quietly, hid in the well, and put the poison she carried with her into the water source. At this moment, Elexi had already formed a conscience in her mind.
In less than an hour, the people and animals in the village and the guards of the bride-sending team were all in deep fainting. Only then did Elexi appear from the well. She planned to use the vicious secret techniques of the ancient skull clan to extract the vitality of the fainting people and make up for the large amount of blood souls and life span for herself!
Guan Heng was in Guyin's laboratory and had read a large number of information and secret techniques recorded in parchment scrolls. Although most of those things were written in secret texts of the ancient skull clan, there was still a small amount that Guan Heng could understand, which described this evil secret method that can extract vitality - the Skeleton Blood-retaining Technique.
Irexi's skeleton blood-retaining technique can not only extract human vitality, but other creatures will also suffer the same fate if they are covered by the blood skeleton, just like that horse.
"This woman escaped from Gu Yin by chance, but she was still worried and wanted to harm others." Guan Heng frowned at this time: "The damn ancient skull tribe always studies these evil techniques, and has to find a way to save everyone."
Even if he absorbed the vitality of a horse, Elexi was still quite weak at this moment. It would take a lot of physical and mental power to control the blood skeleton that appeared on his head. So Elexi staggered towards another horse that collapsed to the ground, and began to do the same thing to absorb its vitality.
Guan Heng could vaguely guess why Irexi didn't go directly to the villagers and guards to use the skeleton blood-retention technique, because she was too weak after exhausting her energy and could no longer walk so far, so she could only suck the vitality of those horses dry up.
"This spell of extracting vitality is so evil, so I might as well kill her." Guan Heng thought of this, and took out the Duoxian crossbow from the space ring and secretly aimed at Elexi's back: "Just do this with an arrow, you can put her..."
"Wait!" Guan Heng suddenly lowered the crossbow box in his hand because he thought of one thing: "Extract vitality... Why did I forget that I also have such props in my hand!"
Guan Heng put away the multi-string crossbow at this time, but another object emerged from the space ring, which was a hexagonal metal plate.
