Chapter 55: Life and Death Uncertain - Kork Wood

  Kerker stepped onto the altar and gazed coldly at the foreign wizard, saying: "What do you want to do?"

  "Haha, what's going on? Of course it's using your blood as a sacrifice for the Blood Dragon!"

  Kerker Wood's face changed color and he said coldly, "How did you know there was a Blood Dragon here?"

  "Haha, I not only know that there is a Blood Dragon in this resurrection pool, but also know that the box inside is called Hei Mu Gui, which is a magic tool for casting resurrection spells. Moreover, I also know that the Hei Mu Gui has ancient Qiang people's resurrection scriptures carved on it, all mine, all mine! Hahaha..."

  This shocked not only Korkwood, but also Liu Yi and others who were hiding in the dark. This foreign wizard seemed to know more than they did. However, he didn't know what era the "Ancient Qiang people" he mentioned belonged to. Was it during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period?

  The excited voice of a foreign witch echoed in the darkness, startling several wild birds, which flapped their wings and took off.

  Among the stone arrays, under a certain stone statue with a sheep's head and human body, a black-clothed man leaning against it was awakened by laughter, suddenly opening his eyes. This person is the enemy in the mouths of foreign witches, also the other force suspected by Liu Yi besides the poaching team.

  She was dressed in black, her face deathly pale, with a bow slung over her shoulder and bloodstains at the corner of her mouth. It was clear that she had been seriously injured. Although her face was veiled by a black gauze, it could be seen from her flowing long hair that this was a woman.

  She only saw her left hand covering her abdomen, standing up, and her right hand taking out a small knife from her bosom. It seemed that this was the rhythm of scraping bones to heal wounds. She looked down at the gunshot wound on her belly, took a deep breath, inserted the knife into the wound, and saw her teeth clenched, her face tense, and big drops of sweat falling from her forehead, obviously enduring great pain.

  Fresh blood gushed out of her wound, she recklessly dug out the bullets from the three gunshot wounds in her abdomen, then quickly took out a bottle of golden wound medicine from her bosom, bit off the wooden stopper with her mouth, and poured it onto her own wound. Afterwards, she leaned against the stone wall, closed her eyes to rest for a while, seemingly recovering her vitality, and climbed up the sheep's head stone carving using all four limbs.

  As soon as they jumped up, they saw several "white human skulls" squatting on the white stone carving opposite them. The eyes inside the skull emitted a faint red glow, and it seemed that Liu Yi and others encountered the "triangular ghost face frog" everywhere.

  It was astonishing that those white human skulls, upon seeing this woman, seemed to be very frightened and quickly scattered in all directions.

  She was indifferent to this, stood up and stood on the stone statue, motionless, looking at the distant altar, those eyes, black and shiny, white and clear, as if they could see through all the worldly phenomena.

  In the distance, on top of the altar, a foreign shaman was bowing her head and sprinkling unknown medicinal powder along the patterns above, while the Ma family soldiers below the altar were all curious about what would happen next, and were attracted by the shaman's movements, so no one noticed her arrival.

  However, the vigilant Liu Yi had a faint feeling that someone was staring at him from behind, so he turned his head to look back. The woman seemed to have seen his movement, and with a flash of black shadow, she vanished into thin air like a ghost.

  Liu Yi felt strange in his heart: "Could it be that I saw flowers?"

  He didn't have time to think much, a miserable cry attracted him, and he turned his head to look at the altar, only to see Huang Paozi covering his eyes with his left hand, flying backwards from the altar, it was clear that he had been punched hard.

  The one who made the move was none other than Korkwood, whom he had been vigilantly guarding.

  Originally, Keke Mu took advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to the foreign wizard and quietly broke the rope on his body. He suddenly turned around and threw a heavy punch, hitting Huang Paozi's left eye. This punch was full of his anger, with an unusually strong force that directly punched Huang Paozi's left eye socket into collapse, causing half of his face to cave in. It's estimated that this guy's eye is probably ruined.

  Still alive, I guess that's what you call good luck.

  "Dada...dada..." A faint humming noise started.

  Huang Pangzi, in the process of flying backwards, unconsciously pulled the trigger, and the muzzle swung wildly. Bullets whizzed into the crowd, but didn't hit Keke Mu, instead accidentally injuring his own companion, and immediately curses filled the air.

  If one listened carefully, amidst the dense gunfire, a "peng" sound could be heard, which was Malacca pulling the trigger, and a bullet pierced through the crowd, shooting towards the foreign witch.

  Kai Kuo's wooden sleeve took advantage of the chaos to make a move, flying towards the foreign witch doctor, with golden needles flashing between his fingers.

  The bullet was faster than Kork Wood, and just as it was about to hit the foreign witch, she suddenly sprouted eyes on her back, without even turning her head, and leaped more than two meters high with a swift motion, avoiding not only the bullet shot by Malya but also Kork Wood's golden needle attack.

  The bullet whizzed past Cork's arm, grazing it and sending him jumping.

  Although they were enemies, Liu Yi also admired the wizard's agility in his heart.

  But then the wizard appeared in mid-air, revealing his magic weapon - the Half Moon Black Knife. With a loud cry of "Looking for death!", he threw it at Kork Wood on the ground.

  Kork Wood had previously eaten the loss of this half-moon-shaped knife with long eyes, and he rolled over on the spot and hid behind a stone pillar. The knife first collided with the stone pillar, rebounded into the air, and then paused, turning around to attack Kork Wood again. At this time, the foreign wizard also landed on the ground.

  She only saw her right hand waving in the air, as if directing the half-moon black knife to attack. Liu Yi, who was careful, discovered that the black knife was actually controlled by a thread that was almost transparent and as thin as a strand of hair.

  Kok Si wanted to rush forward to help his father, but was held back by Liu Yi. He ran up empty-handed, that's a suicidal rhythm. Liu Yi feared he would ruin everything, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, a knife cut knocked him unconscious, then said to Professor Zhou Tao: "You take him to hide first! It's time for us to make our move, if we don't, I'm afraid Kok Si will be finished!"

  Professor Zhou nodded and picked up the unconscious Kexi, weaving through the stone soldiers and disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

  Liu Yi saw them leave safely and put down his heart. He took out a pistol he had found on the dead body of Ma's army and looked at it, surveying the situation in the field.

  On the altar, Kork Wood and the foreign witch doctor were in a fierce battle, both casting mysterious spells. The two were shrouded in a black fog, which swelled like a giant, bulging and sinking in all directions, making it clear that the two were evenly matched in the fog.

  Keke Mu had previously been unable to defeat the foreign witch and was even injured by her, with one arm being hurt. This time, he fell into the foreign witch's dark mist, and it is likely that he will be in a precarious situation.

  All that could be seen was Liu Yi's lips moving, and the sound of "humming, chirping..." came out. The sound was like tens of thousands of biting spirit insects screaming and attacking people, and he imitated the sound of those insects in the underground dark river.

  Liu Yi's mouth skill was once again displayed, and the Ma family army under the altar had previously suffered losses from the Soul-Eating Insect. Upon hearing this sound, they all changed their faces, ran a few steps quickly, and rushed towards the altar. They stood around the altar, looking around in all directions, thinking that the foreign witch doctor's black fog must have had an effect on suppressing the Soul-Eating Insects. Standing near the black fog, they seemed to have found something to rely on, and did not appear as Liu Yi had expected - the scene of them scattering and fleeing upon hearing the sound.

  Malacca desert eagle, spat out the bullet, whizzing and hitting a member of the Ma family army on the forehead, only to see that person yelling in pain, died past.

  His shooting was very accurate, basically every shot was a headshot. In the blink of an eye, Ma's army lost five or six members, and Liu Yi was also hiding behind a stone statue, firing at the enemy. His shooting wasn't as powerful as Ma Liang's, without the ability to take down an enemy with one shot, but he could still easily wound them.

  The Ma family army, who were shot at, looked for cover everywhere and started to counterattack. But they were in the open, while Liu Yi and Ma Liuzhang were in hiding, they could only identify each other's hiding place by the direction of the bullets, and even more so, basically hugging the stone statues and sweeping together, the whistling sound of bullets echoed through this ancient forbidden land.

  When the Ma family army began to counterattack, Liu Yi and Ma Liujia hid behind stone statues without firing a shot. However, as soon as the enemy's firepower weakened or stopped, they immediately took action, causing casualties on the other side, making the Ma family army dare not easily stop firing.

  They temporarily stuck in this stalemate.

  Liu Yi was anxious in his heart, if it dragged on like this, Keke Mu's life would probably be lost here.

  Just as Liu Yi was worried, a miserable cry sounded, and he looked up at the altar. A black shadow flew out of the dark fog and fell to the ground not far away with a thud. It was Keke Mu who was seriously injured.

  Then the foreign wizard walked out of the dark fog, and his mouth was also stained with blood. It can be seen that Kork Wood adopted a two-loss method, but it is unknown what secret technique he used to persist for so long.

  That black-robed wizard, raised his hand to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth. Liu Yi felt it was an opportunity, just about to raise his hand to shoot, when he heard a whizzing sound coming from behind, a white light flashed across his line of sight, shooting towards the black-robed wizard.

  The white light was actually a sharp arrow, it was really swift and fleeting, the speed was too fast.

  That foreign wizard was about to take the hit, but seeing her cold smile, she casually grabbed a nearby Ma family soldier and threw him towards the white light.

  That unlucky guy was pierced by the sharp arrow, let out a miserable cry and died, but the arrow's force was too great, and after piercing him it flew forward for dozens of meters.

  Such divine power made Liu Yi stare in awe!

  Looking around again after the foreign wizard resolved the crisis, she didn't see anyone, so she let out a cold laugh and quickly ran two steps to the left. Astonishingly, she bare-handedly climbed up the stone pillar with great speed, just like a gecko climbing a wall. In the blink of an eye, she reached the top of the pillar and stood on the stone plate.

  It is said that standing high and looking far.

  The foreign wizard climbed to the top of the stone pillar, looked around, and then fixed his gaze in the direction where Liu Yi and the others were hiding, shouting loudly: "Come out, I see you!"

  As soon as this remark came out, Liu Yi and Malacca exchanged a glance and were about to fire again.

  Just then, they heard the sound of a flute coming from behind them.
