Chapter 61: The Mountain Spirit's Years

  Qin Feng grasped the dagger and cautiously guarded against his surroundings, that "dada" sound had already become very loud, and it was estimated that it had already reached Qin Feng and Zhou Qin's surroundings.

  "What was that?" Zhou Qin nervously picked up the shotgun, loaded it, and aimed at the surrounding area, ready for any danger that might appear at any moment.

  。

  "It seems like Liu Qi is behind this, we must have accidentally triggered his trap."

  Qin Feng didn't dare to say more, holding his breath and listening to the movements around him. Suddenly, behind Qin Feng's back, a dark shadow flashed in front of the two people with a "whooshing" sound.

  "What thing!?" Zhou Qin raised his gun and aimed at the shadow, and in a flurry of panic, "bang!" he fired a shot.

  After renovation, this shotgun is really powerful. One shot passed by and hit the locust tree next to it, leaving a very obvious bullet mark.

  "Didn't hit it?" Zhou Qin thought of going over to confirm. But now that the black shadow had flashed by, there was no sign of it. The black shadow was very large, and Qin Feng pondered that someone should be about that tall, but the speed was very fast, already exceeding human ability.

  "Qin Feng, did you see clearly who took the thing just now?" At this time, Zhou Qin came over and asked Qin Feng.

  Qin Feng didn't know what this thing was, but his first reaction to it was that it was somewhat terrifying. Such a fast speed definitely wasn't human, but it also didn't seem like a wild beast. In short, he couldn't determine what it was now, so he could only carefully leave the place.

  But just as Qin Feng and Zhou Qin were about to leave the place, that "thumping" sound appeared again, as if warning Qin Feng and Zhou Qin. Qin Feng spat out a wad of phlegm and cursed: "Damn it, I don't believe this thing can still eat me!"

  As he spoke, Qin Feng stood up and loudly shouted around: "You bastard come out! What are you hiding for?"

  "No matter who you are, come out and duel with me!"

  ……

  Perhaps Qin Feng was intentionally trying to boost his own courage, or maybe he really wasn't that afraid of the thing. Before long, sure enough, the thing appeared right in front of Qin Feng.

  Looking at the thing, not only Zhou Qin, who was already trembling with fear, but also Qin Feng, who had just broken out in a loud scolding, couldn't help but feel a thread of terror in his heart and started to tremble. To be honest, this was Qin Feng's first time encountering such a rare thing.

  It's no wonder that he is said to be a legendary monster. The thing in front of him, although it looks human, has a tail and long whiskers on its body, somewhat like a cat. Its body is also covered with mud stains, and the grayish-brown skin gives people the first impression that it just crawled out of the mud.

  。

  "What the hell is this!" Zhou Qin cautiously aimed his gun at the monster and asked Qin Feng in a fluster.

  Qin Feng's forehead was also covered in cold sweat, his eyes wide and fixed on the strange creature, unmoving until Zhou Qin poked him with her elbow, at which point he came back to himself and said, "This should be Shan Gui Sui!"

  "What's going on with Mountain Ghost?" Zhou Qin asked Qin Feng urgently. "Never mind that, what should we do now? Will it eat us?"

  Knowing that this thing was a mountain ghost, Qin Feng calmed down slightly, because the mountain ghost was a creature that liked shade and feared sunlight, and would generally only appear in extremely shaded areas, so there was no need to be so tense.

  However, the greatest danger of Shan Gui Sui is to hook the soul and snatch the spirit. Every time a soul is hooked and a spirit is snatched, the yin energy of Shan Gui Sui will increase, until all three souls and seven spirits are hooked away, then the person will die.

  What Qin Feng is most worried about now is this, but he also understands why Liu Qi Fang marked four downward arrows on each mountain head. The reason lies in the fact that the formation of Shanguishuai requires a long period of yin energy drainage. The four mountain heads marked by Liu Qi Fang are precisely because he buried four coffins underneath, and what was placed inside were not anything else but the corpses of four cats.

  Cats are extremely yin animals, with nine inferior lives plus four mountain heads all in places that absorb the yin energy of heaven and earth. Over time, this formed the Mountain Ghost Years. The small cat-like human-shaped creature in front of us is a product transformed from the absorption of yin energy by those four cats.

  Having understood this, Qin Feng also carefully grasped the dagger and said to Zhou Qin: "Brother Zhou, this thing has a very high skill of hooking souls and stealing spirits. Remember, never let its claws touch your blood, otherwise your soul will be hooked away, and the consequences are unthinkable."

  Zhou Qin's face turned pale with sweat dripping down, and he asked: "Is it really that serious?"

  Qin Feng stared straight at Shan Gui Sui and nodded, responding with a "yes".

  At this time, Shan Gui Sui stared at that pair of sharp and spirited sword eyes, the green and shiny eyeballs emitted a kind of pressing cold air directly onto Qin Feng's body, the corners of his mouth kept making "huff huff" sounds as if he was ready to attack.

  "Here I come!"

  As Qin Feng let out a loud shout, the mountain demon Xuesui flew quickly towards him. Its thick forelimbs revealed sharp claws that seemed to want to snatch away Qin Feng's soul.

  。

  Qin Feng saw it coming, immediately turned around to the right and took a false step, dodging Shan Gui Sui's attack. Zhou Qin seized the opportunity at this time, loaded the bullet into the chamber, and fired a shot at Shan Gui Sui "bang!" directly hitting his waist.

  The power of the bullet is self-evident, and a mere tree can leave a 2cm deep hole, let alone flesh and blood. However, it was this flesh and blood that Zhou Qin's shot passed through without anything happening, at most producing a spark and then a wisp of smoke drifting away.

  "What the...?! What is this thing made of, how can it be like this?!" Zhou Qin was shocked and stood there, motionless, staring at Shan Gui Sui after he had shot him, his two eyeballs almost popping out.

  However, stupid as he was, Zhou Qin's actions had undoubtedly harmed himself. Shan Gui Sui felt Zhou Qin's malicious intentions and turned around to scold him like a cat, with the hair on his body standing upright at the same time, looking very frightening.

  Qin Feng realized the situation was not good, and immediately shouted at Zhou Qin to get out of the way. However, Zhou Qin had already been frightened stiff and couldn't move. It wasn't until the mountain demon suddenly jumped up and pounced towards him that Zhou Qin came back to his senses and raised his gun, ready to fire.

  "Get out of the way!" Qin Feng shouted again, but it was too late. The mountain demon had already pounced on Zhou Qin's side and swiped its claws, "swish!" In an instant, it grabbed Zhou Qin's left arm, and blood gushed out, flowing down rapidly.

  "Oh no!" Qin Feng hastily ran over, raised his dagger and took advantage of the opportunity to stab Mountain Ghost Sui's body. However, Mountain Ghost Sui was a cat in disguise, so its body was naturally agile and quick. As soon as it sensed danger, it jumped to the right side and dodged the attack.

  "Stop the bleeding!" Qin Feng hastily pulled out a pre-prepared medical gauze from his backpack and tied it around Zhou Qin. The wound looked very deep, and even after wrapping several layers, blood was still seeping through.

  Before long, Zhou Qin began to feel unwell physically, and his weak appearance gradually became apparent. His face turned pale, especially around the eyes, which had lost some of their luster.

  "What's wrong with me? Why do I feel so weak?" Struggling to get up, Zhou Qin realized that his physical condition was not quite right, and asked.

  Qin Feng naturally knew the reason, but the situation was critical at the moment, and there was no time to say more. He just said one sentence: "You stay there and don't move. Now you've lost a soul and a spirit. If he catches you again, your remaining souls will also be taken away."
