Chapter 377 Straight Man
Chapter 377 Straight Man
The person on the other side stood there like a sculpture, without any sign of response. The two of them maintained the up and down posture, staring at each other silently.
The eyes of one of them were deeply hidden under a wide hood, revealing only a dark and deep look;
The other person's eyes were hidden behind a pair of ink-black sunglasses, making it difficult to see his true emotions.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air around him seemed to become heavy. However, in the next second, the other party's sudden action made Liu Tianci's face suddenly gloomy like the sky before a storm.
The man slowly raised his hands and began to move them in front of his chest in a strange and weird gesture. His fingers danced flexibly, as if drawing a mysterious pattern. As the gestures changed, a faint energy fluctuation could be heard in the air.
Finally, when all the movements were completed, he put his hands together and then leaned forward to worship without hesitation.
Normally, people see the action of putting hands together as just a common gesture when asking for favors, and it is often accompanied by a slight left-right swaying of the body to show sincerity and humility.
But at this moment, after the man in the woods put his hands together, he actually followed it with a standard 90-degree bow!
At this moment, the meaning of the entire action has changed dramatically. So, when is this posture most common? The answer is obvious - visiting graves!
The moment the person in front of him made this move, Liu Tianci's heart trembled suddenly, and an inexplicable chill rose from his spine.
He felt keenly that among the wild grass swaying in the wind by the roadside, between the dense and intertwined branches of the forest, and even on the back of the inconspicuous road sign on the side of the road behind him, there was some invisible and intangible existence quietly locking its eyes on him.
The feeling of being secretly watched was like a thorn in his back, making the hairs on his body stand up involuntarily.
If it were any other ordinary person, if they encountered this situation, they might mutter a few dirty words and then leave as if nothing had happened.
After all, they would probably think that the other party was just trying to disgust them on purpose.
However, the guy in front of him named Liu Tianci is definitely not an ordinary person! He is a unique and outstanding extraordinary person!
This Liu Tianci could never be judged by common sense. His eyes were wide open, his hair was standing on end with rage, and he roared, "How dare you worship me? You are simply courting death!" In a flash, he threw the heavy backpack on his back to the side, and then rushed forward like an arrow.
The three-meter-high geological fault lay in front of him. For ordinary people, it was almost impossible to jump up. But Liu Tianci knew that although he had extraordinary abilities, he could not be too ostentatious and had to pretend to be no different from ordinary humans.
Fortunately, there are many protruding rocks on this fault. As long as you get closer, you can cleverly use the power of these rocks to perform amazing triple jump techniques.
In an instant, Liu Tianci's figure flashed, like an agile and extremely nimble gazelle, shuttling quickly between the steep mountain walls.
Every jump was done accurately on the protruding rocks, and he took advantage of the momentum to chase after the ignorant guy on the mountain.
The man on the mountain was standing leisurely, secretly proud of himself for choosing such a secluded and quiet place. However, when he saw the figure emerging from the roadside, he was stunned.
The man was as agile as a monkey in the mountains. He jumped up from a height of more than three meters without any effort!
In the blink of an eye, the man named Liu Tianci had landed steadily in front of him. The man on the mountain was frightened to the point of paleness, and his steps retreated involuntarily, as if he had seen some terrible monster.
"Hmph! Weren't you pretending to be quite mysterious just now? Why have you turned into a coward now? If you have the guts, come and worship me like you did just now!" Liu Tianci said with a sneer, crossing his arms across his chest.
At the same time, he clasped his hands tightly together, and a creepy sound of bone creaking was heard throughout the forest.
Faced with Liu Tianci's questioning and threats, the person on the mountain seemed a little panicked. She replied with a trembling voice: "No... How could I, how could I worship you?
I was just sincerely worshipping the mountain god just now, and I was afraid that he would be angry and punish us." As she spoke, she slowly took off her hood, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall to her waist.
Only the ends of her hair were lightly tied up with a bright red string, which made her skin look even whiter than snow and her face as white as jade. It turned out that this person was actually a young girl.
Seeing this, Liu Tianci narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a hawk, staring at the girl and asking, "Oh? Really? Then was it you who threw that stone just now?"
The girl bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, nodded and admitted: "I threw it, but that was also because I saw you seemed to be going to destroy the altar.
This altar is of great significance to our Fang Doushan. If it is damaged, our entire village will be in trouble. So, please don't mess around, okay?"
The logic is clear, the reasoning is reasonable, and not to mention the cute face. If it were another man, he would have nodded and said yes, expressing regret for the misunderstanding, and then waved his hand to indicate that it was all his fault.
Then he would pretend to be magnanimous, secretly hoping to meet this charming little beauty by chance next time. However——
There was a loud "bang!" and an iron fist whistled past with a sharp sound, almost brushing against the girl's pink cheek. The strong fist wind instantly blew away the sweet smile on the girl's face, and it disappeared without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, this incredibly powerful punch hit a large tree trunk next to her.
Following this blow, the entire tree began to tremble violently, as if it had been hit by a sudden storm. Countless scattered yellow leaves fluttered down like snowflakes, and some small branches were also shaken off and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
At this moment, Liu Tianci was trapping the girl in front of him between the tree trunk and his body in an extremely oppressive posture, creating the so-called "tree bang" situation.
However, there was no romantic and ambiguous atmosphere at the scene. Instead, there was a suffocating atmosphere of tension and danger.
Liu Tianci had a stern expression and eyes as sharp as a knife. He stared at the girl in front of him and asked coldly:
"Tell me now! What is the purpose of that mysterious altar down there? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll punch you in the head... Believe me, the consequences will be very cruel!"
At the same time, Liu Tianci quietly turned off the recording function of the sunglasses on his nose, and even cut off the communication with his companion He Ye.
After all, what happened next was not suitable for public broadcast. After all, he had always been a law-abiding citizen!
"I don't know what you are talking about!" The girl shouted this in a coquettish tone, then suddenly lowered her head and rushed towards the fault like an arrow.
This sudden move caught Liu Tianci off guard. He hurriedly turned around to chase her, but was soon surprised to find that this seemingly weak girl could run so fast.
Since they were in a dangerous area close to the edge of a cliff, they would fall into the abyss if they were not careful. However, the girl in front of them did not hesitate at all. She jumped off the platform without hesitation.
