PFC Chapter 153: Almost Being Ambushed
Chapter 153: Almost Being Ambushed
Su Ling hurried out and stood behind Bai Tian, and asked nervously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Bai Tian looked solemnly at the person in the grass in front of him...or rather, half a person.
Su Ling noticed the man and thought he was worried about being attacked during the day, so she shouted, "Hey, we don't want to interact with you, please leave...ah!"
Halfway through the conversation, the other half floated over again, leaving Su Ling stunned.
Bai Tian looked stern and immediately grabbed a burning piece of wood from the fire and pushed it forward.
The half person floated to the front of the fire stick and suddenly disappeared.
He protected Su Ling during the day, looking around vigilantly with a fire stick in his hand, but he never saw the figure of that half person again.
"He, why does he seem to be only half?" Su Ling shivered.
Bai Tian's expression was particularly solemn. The other person was indeed only half. Not a physical entity, but a virtual one. However, it had color and looked no different from a normal person, yet it was floating...
rustle……
There were noises coming from the woods, and daytime was alert again.
Soon, several people appeared, holding bows and arrows. Two of them were the two archers who had appeared with the long-faced man.
A middle-aged man was mumbling something. Bai Tian hesitated for a moment, put out the fire stick in his hand, and then began to draw little people on the stone at the entrance of the cave.
During the day, I drew half of the person just now, and also drew the other person flying.
The middle-aged man took a closer look, his expression became complicated, he muttered something in his mouth, and looked very excited.
Seeing that Bai Tian and Su Ling didn't understand, the middle-aged man also picked up a fire stick and drew a little man. However, the little man he drew was crooked and Bai Tian and Su Ling couldn't understand it at all.
It seems that this tribe's writing system is very backward, and even hieroglyphics haven't taken shape yet...
Perhaps the other party realized that there was no way to communicate, so he left again soon.
However, Bai Tian and Su Ling couldn't remain calm.
He was worried all day about that other person showing up again, and he didn't sleep all night, which almost made him suffer from mental breakdown.
The next day, after dawn, a few more people came.
This time, a white-haired old man came to communicate with Bai Tian. This old man could draw little people.
The old man drew a great many little figures, hundreds of them so densely packed together, and chattered away as he drew.
"He seemed to say that people in their tribe would split into two after they died, so their tribe moved away. However, after moving away, people would still die and still split into two." Su Ling frowned and whispered.
It seemed to be the same during the day, but the process of the other party's narration was definitely not that simple, and he must have encountered a lot of things in the middle.
The question is, how does the other party confirm that the person is really dead?
If someone died and then half of a person reappeared, that would be the legendary ghost. But if the person didn't die, but their body weakened and turned into half of a person, that would be even more interesting.
After some communication, Bai Tian and Su Ling went to each other's tribe together.
The tribe is not big, with only thirty or forty people, and they are on the way to migrate.
Over the next few days, I hunted a lot of game for the tribe during the day, and then communicated with them patiently.
After about five days, although I still couldn't understand what they said during the day, I could finally understand their paintings.
Just as they had guessed, a landslide occurred near their home, causing water levels to rise and many people to die. But later, they discovered that only half the dead had reappeared. This frightened their tribe, so they were forced to migrate.
During the migration, they found that this situation did not improve, and the tribe gradually dispersed, leaving only more than 30 people.
A few days ago, the long-faced man was killed by a wild boar not long after he saw Bai Tian. But then, he appeared in front of Bai Tian again!
According to this tribe, those who only have half of their "people" left will possess normal people, and then the normal people will go crazy, some will commit suicide, and some will hurt others.
This phenomenon made Bai Tian suspect that these "half-humans" might really be ghosts!
However, Bai Tian felt that the tribe had not been telling him the truth, because he had seen the tribe leader's eyes flicker many times...
That night, Bai Tian deliberately told the tribal leader that he and Su Ling would leave their tribe the next day.
Although the patriarch didn't say anything, Bai Tian noticed that there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
After it was completely dark, Bai Tian hugged Su Ling, quickly jumped out of the tribe, and let her rest on a tree outside the tribe.
Then, during the day, he returned to the tribe's straw hut and made two straw men on the straw pile in the hut.
Something really happened that night!
In the middle of the night, Bai Tian suddenly heard faint footsteps, and then he quickly hid in the corner of the hut.
Whizzing……
Bows and arrows flew in from the door of the straw hut, hitting the straw pile mercilessly. Fortunately, Su Ling had been moved away during the day, otherwise she would have been shot to pieces.
Afterwards, firelight came in from outside and several people rushed in quickly.
When they found that there was only a straw man in the haystack, several people seemed very panicked and muttered something.
Just then, Bai Tian came out from the corner with a machete.
Seeing that Bai Tian was still alive, several people wanted to shoot him with bows and arrows. Bai Tian then dodged and killed two of them, then kicked the others away.
When he came out of the hut during the day, the patriarch and everyone surrounded him.
Under the dimming firelight, Bai Tian looked around at everyone and smiled.
He really didn't expect that this tribe had such sinister intentions!
The chief pointed at Bai Tian and chattered something. Then, several other men began shooting arrows at Bai Tian again. How dare they do this in front of the children!
So, Bai Tian picked up his golden machete...
In five minutes, all the more than 30 people in the tribe were gone!
After everyone was killed, he went to the chief's hut during the day and searched. He found many animal skins with pictures on them, but they were very crude and a little difficult to understand.
Then, during the day, a bag made of animal skin was found, and inside the bag was a golden skull!
The skull is very light and golden in color, and should be the head of an adult.
Bai Tian picked up the skull and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he felt a chill coming out of the skull, which made him shiver involuntarily. After that, he felt a chill on his back.
He was frightened when he saw someone running out of the patriarch's house with a skull in his hand during the day.
There were many halflings floating outside, all of whom were killed by him just now!
They were floating just five meters away, staring at him motionlessly. They had no legs, only their upper bodies. And on the ground, their bodies had disappeared!
The corpse is gone, but the person has become half and hollow. Is this considered a ghost?
