Chapter 24: Wood Puppet Strange Monster

This voice was like the sound of nature to Shi Qing and the others who were fleeing wildly.

At the same time the voice entered their ears, a stunning sword light also entered their eyes.

Although that sword light was several dozen meters away, it arrived in an instant, showing its speed.

The sword light cut through the air, emitting a sharp hiss, showing its sharpness.

Both hearing and seeing were just an instant.

The sword light arrived suddenly like a silver silk, also just an instant.

That sword was really too fast, so fast that before Shi Qing and the others could see clearly, two of the thirteen people who were chasing them had their heads cut off by the sword light.

Although it was night, this was the outer perimeter of Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge, and the trees were not as dense as the inner layer, plus the white light emitted by the snow on the ground, so Shi Qing and the others' vision was not greatly affected.

The sword light stopped, and Shi Qing and the others naturally saw the person behind the sword light.

Seeing this, including Shi Qing, this leader.

Everyone's first reaction was some inferiority.

That was a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties, wearing a brown velvet animal-skin coat; wrapped around his neck was a soft white velvet neck guard, clearly made from the tail of a cold beast; on his feet were a pair of bright black animal-skin boots.

The inferiority of Shi Qing and the others was not without reason.

The animal-skin skirts they were wearing were just animal-skin skirts, and they were the kind of animal-skin skirts that were full of holes and dilapidated.

However, even with this kind of animal-skin skirt, among the three hundred or so people in Dashan Camp, only less than fifty people could wear them.

The vast majority of others wore dry-leaf clothes.

So-called dry-leaf clothes were clothes made by drying larger leaves collected and then piecing them together.

Of course, it wasn't just Dashan Camp.

Around Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge, except for Luo Ge Camp, which was slightly better, other camps were all in this situation.

There was no way; a complete animal skin itself was proof of strength.

Even Luo Ge Camp couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't damage the fur of the prey during hunting, let alone these small camps of theirs.

Therefore, the young man's complete set of clothes at this moment was enough to make these people feel ashamed of themselves.

Not to mention, the silver-glowing long sword in his hand eliminated two strange monsters in an instant.

While Shi Qing and the others were suspicious, the young man moved again.

He danced with his sword; in the blink of an eye, the cold blade cut through the darkness, bringing out seven or eight sword lights in the air, almost at the speed of cutting melons and vegetables, and beheaded all the remaining ten strange monsters behind that "Xia Ding."

Recalling the scene of them fleeing in a sorry state at the hands of the strange monsters, and then looking at the young man's ease in killing the strange monsters at this moment, such a strong contrast made the inferiority in the hearts of Shi Qing and the five become increasingly thick.

After beheading the ten people, the young man didn't rush to make a move on Xia Ding, just looked at him calmly and spoke slowly: "These things you made..."

Whoosh...

Before the young man finished speaking, that familiar sound rang out suddenly.

Shi Qing's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted to remind:

"Sir, be careful!"

It was just that his hint was clearly a bit redundant.

Before he spoke, the young man had already turned his head to look behind him. His ears moved slightly, and he quickly turned his gaze, locking onto the top of a large tree on the left side of the dense forest.

"On the tree, Li Hu, Luo Ming, let's go together!"

He shouted loudly, and two more figures rushed over from the right side, quickly rushing toward the tree he had locked onto.

At the same time, the young man also stopped caring about that "Xia Ding" and kicked the ground, rushing toward that tree.

The three moved fast. Shi Qing couldn't see clearly at all, and that tree had already been cut in half by the young man.

The entire upper part of the tree collapsed with a bang.

This scene made the expressions on the faces of Shi Qing and the five instantly stiffen.

Especially when they discovered that after the large tree was cut in half and collapsed, the inside revealed was gold.

The five had even greater shock in their pupils, and they all swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.

"The hardest Golden-Rin Tree, cut in half with one sword?"

When they logged, they would only choose Vermilion Frost Trees.

It wasn't that they couldn't cut the Golden-Rin Tree; they could cut it too.

But the problem was, for a Golden-Rin Tree, they would have to cut it continuously for at least ten hours to cut it down.

But what had they just seen? Cut down a Golden-Rin Tree with one sword?

The five looked at the young man with eyes instantly full of reverence.

And after that Golden-Rin Tree was cut down and collapsed, a black human figure leaped up from the top like a ghost and ran toward the inner layer of Seeing Seeing Hong Mu Ridge.

But the young man and the other two also reacted extremely quickly.

The three stood on three sides, firmly surrounding the black human figure in the middle.

"Want to run? It wasn't easy to run into a low-level Artisan Strange Monster; can't let you run away so simply."

"Don't be careless, this is a Wood Puppet Strange Monster. The people I just killed should all be made by him using wood and corpses. Maybe he still has some trump cards left, everyone be careful."

Shi Qing's reaction was fast. Hearing the dialogue between the two, and then looking at the "Xia Ding" who had been standing stiffly since the black human figure appeared, he had already roughly understood.

Artisan Strange Monster, Wood Puppet Strange Monster, should all refer to that black human figure.

Xia Ding and those logging team members were clearly all controlled by it.

Moreover, among the two names the young man shouted just now, Shi Qing knew one, and also recognized him.

Luo Ming, the current leader of Luo Ge Camp, and also the son of the former leader Luo Feng.

Sure enough, Shi Qing looked carefully again.

Among the three, the middle-aged man on the far right who was lean, had narrowed eyes, and held a long spear in his hand was indeed Luo Ming, whom he had seen a few times.

The one on the left named Li Hu had a very burly build, wore clothes not far from the young man, and held a cold-glinting Goose-Feather Blade, looking at the black human figure in the middle with tiger-like eyes.

Shi Qing also saw clearly the thing that was called a Wood Puppet Strange Monster by the two.

That Wood Puppet Strange Monster looked like a black-clothed old man with a decaying face and a slightly hunched body.

He held a small knife three inches long in his left hand, and a circle of white thread in his right hand. A pair of crimson pupils were full of ferocity, and the face looking at the three people surrounding him was also full of bloodthirsty desire.

"Ah..."

The Wood Puppet Strange Monster suddenly let out a roar, and the thread in its right hand suddenly flew out dozens of transparent threads, as if completely integrated into the night, disappearing in an instant.

However, the three people surrounding it started to dodge crazily left and right.

Seeing this, Shi Qing also understood. The one that killed his companions earlier should be these transparent threads, but their strength was too weak, so they couldn't see clearly at all.

And the three who could see clearly were naturally dodging constantly in the air.

Of course, it wasn't just dodging.

After just a few breaths, the young man holding the sword seemed to have found a flaw, twisted his waist, and flew toward the Wood Puppet Strange Monster, the long sword colliding with the threads in the air, sparking several sparks.

The long sword could cut the transparent threads.

The Wood Puppet Strange Monster saw this scene, its face suddenly darkened, its gaze staring fixedly at the silver long sword in the young man's hand, as if it had realized something.

The weapons in Luo Ming's and Li Hu's hands were clearly not as strong as the young man's sword. The two continued to dodge, and although they were also approaching the Wood Puppet Strange Monster, their speed was too slow.

The young man had already swung his sword at the Wood Puppet Strange Monster, but the two were still several meters away.

However, although both hadn't arrived yet.

But the young man's strength seemed to be a bit outrageous.

The long sword swept across the air, bringing out a sharp sword light, almost sticking to that Wood Puppet Strange Monster. Although it had retreated extremely fast, the storm-like sword momentum followed closely behind.

The young man's sword momentum was like a raging sea, wave after wave, forcing the Wood Puppet Strange Monster to retreat to a large tree in an instant.

At the same time, Li Hu and Luo Ming also finally broke through the heavy blockade of the threads and arrived behind the young man.

The three aimed for the opportunity, sealing all the retreat paths of the Wood Puppet Strange Monster from the top, middle, and bottom.

The long sword swept horizontally at the top, the sharp spear thrust in the middle, and the large blade slashed at the bottom.

Under the three-way attack, the Wood Puppet Strange Monster had nowhere to hide.
