"Funeral in the middle of the night? This is too ...... It's too ......" Lao Qi stared at him for a long time, but he didn't say the word "bad luck".

"Looking at this number of people, almost the entire village has been dispatched, and this formation is not simple. Aqua couldn't help but frown as he looked at the long line escorting the coffin. "But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a funeral, no one wears linen and wears filial piety, and it is carrying the coffin in the middle of the night, which is a big taboo. ”

"If it's not a funeral, then why are these people carrying the coffin in the middle of the night?" asked Lao Qi.

"How do I know?" Akui glanced at Lao Qi, as if he was disgusted that the other party was too wordy. "Otherwise, let's go along and have a look. ”

"But the old man said let's not walk around," ...... young man hesitated.

"Oh, young master, when is it? The more I look at this village now, the more I feel that something is wrong, if we really find that they have a problem, we can take this opportunity to run away, right?" Lao Qi cried and persuaded with a sad face, it seemed that he didn't plan to stay here for a long time.

"These people are sneaky in the middle of the night, and I'm not very worried, so why don't I go and investigate first, you stay here first, and if I don't come back in an hour, you can leave quickly." Aqua watched the departing team and made a suggestion.

“…… No, let's stop parting and walk together. The young man seemed to have finally made up his mind, picked up his backpack and said. "Proceed carefully along the way, and if the situation is not for us, run away immediately. ”

As soon as the three of them were combined, they immediately acted and quietly followed behind the "funeral procession".

The speed of the procession was not fast, and by the light of the moon, the three of them saw a mixture of men, women, and children in the procession, and sure enough, the whole village was dispatched, but the strange thing was that everyone's face was a blank expression, lined with their pale skin, and the walking dead looked like a hundred ghosts walking at night, and the eye-catching cyan coffin in the center of the crowd was placed upright on a board cart, slowly advanced by several young men.

This is an ancient coffin, but the volume is three times the size of an ordinary coffin, under the moonlight, you can even see the complex and strange patterns engraved on the outside of the coffin, but what makes people feel strange is that the coffin lid is pasted around the dense yellow paper charm, as if sealing something in the coffin.

"That...... Do you think that the lid of the coffin ...... It seems to be moving?" Old Seven said hesitantly as he stared at the huge cyan coffin.

"Are you dazzled, aren't you? How could there be a living creature in a sealed coffin?"

Akui glanced at Lao Qi with disdain, but he was not without confusion in his heart, at least judging from the volume and style of this coffin, this was by no means an ordinary coffin, and the charms attached around the coffin were even more terrifying. Just as he was thinking wildly, he caught a glimpse of the young master's face on the side changed slightly, Akui hurriedly followed the other party's line of sight, and saw the "funeral" team marching all the way to the edge of the woods, and suddenly stopped.

The three of them became nervous, and quickly leaned down and hid in the bushes next to them, for fear of being discovered, and the villagers in the team did not seem to notice their tracking, and as soon as the team stopped, they dispersed and lined up in two columns, while several strong men in the center continued to push the cyan coffin, through the crowd, and carefully carried the coffin to a high mud platform at the edge of the woods.

"They...... What the hell are you going to do? That posture doesn't look like it's going to be sealed into the ground......" Old Seven muttered.

"And looking at the shape of the clay table, how does it feel like an altar?" Aqua whispered.

"Who would sacrifice in a coffin? And it's still the middle of the night...... Ouch, I don't think it's good to know what kind of cult rituals are being carried out by the people in this village......"

Lao Qi sighed, and was about to say something more, but when he saw Akui suddenly make a silent gesture, the three of them looked nervously towards the mud platform again, and saw a thin old man come out of the crowd, slowly climb the steps of the mud platform, and walk towards the coffin placed on it.

The moonlight shone through the mottled bushes at the edge of the woods, enveloping the old man's body, revealing his pale face and the hideous scar on it, this person was none other than Uncle Huang, who had brought the three of them to the village.

I saw Uncle Huang carrying a black long sword and walking towards the cyan coffin step by step, and what frightened the three of them was that as Uncle Huang approached step by step, they clearly saw that the coffin on the mud platform shook slightly, as if something inside was resisting the seal of the coffin lid and trying to break out of the coffin.

"That'...... The coffin is really moving!" "Isn't it ...... It's really like in the novel...... There's really a 'zongzi' in there, right?"

"Zongzi, you big-headed ghost! You've watched too many zombie movies, right? Whisper to me......" Akui hurriedly covered Lao Qi's mouth, for fear that the other party would shout and lure people over.

"But...... Hmm...... "Lao Qi seemed to want to say something, but then he suddenly stared, his eyes locked on the old man on the clay platform, he slowly stretched out his hand, trembling and pointing forward, Akui and the young man turned their heads to look at this, but saw a scene that they will never forget.

They saw the old man, who was as pale as a dead man, suddenly dancing strangely around the coffin, as if he were uttering words, and a moment later he swung his black sword and plunged it into the huge cyan coffin.

"Whoa——!!

As the black sword entered, the coffin began to shake violently, and at the same time, a heart-palpitating roar came out of the coffin, echoing in the dark woods for a long time.

The three of them were dumbfounded, but what frightened them even more was still behind, only to see that Uncle Huang pulled out the black sword after the vibration of the coffin gradually subsided, and as soon as the black sword was withdrawn, the three of them saw a thick black liquid gurgling out from the gap in the coffin pierced by the sword.

"He—they're ...... Uh-huh——!!"

Seeing such a disgusting situation, Lao Qi couldn't hold back anymore, turned his head and vomited, and the other two also endured the overturning of the river and the sea in their stomachs, and retreated back again and again, but one of them tripped over a stone without paying attention, and both fell to the ground.

"What man!?"

The successive movements finally attracted the attention of the villagers, and the three of them, who were very unhappy, turned around and ran, but they realized that there were a few more sturdy villagers behind them, approaching them step by step.

"Alas...... I've reminded you a long time ago, don't watch what you shouldn't see, why don't you listen to persuasion?"

A thin figure gradually walked out of the surrounding crowd, which was the old man surnamed Huang who was still "doing" on the mud platform before.

"Tsk, I didn't want your life in the first place, but since you saw something you shouldn't see, I had no choice but to let you stay. The old man sighed, then gestured to the people around him. "Dispose of them. ”

"Young Master, let's go!"

said that it was too late, only to hear an angry roar, seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Qi instantly took out the short stick on his waist and rushed towards the outflanked villagers, and used his burly body to open a way for the young man, and Akui did not hesitate, took the young man's hand and broke out of the human wall.

"Old Seven!!"

The young man looked back at Lao Qi, who was fighting in the crowd, and seemed to want the other party to go together, but was forcibly stopped by Aque.

"Old Seven, he has the ability to protect himself! Young Master, you go first, otherwise you can only be a burden!"

Aqua dragged the young man all the way to resist the attacks of the scattered villagers, and ran desperately towards the woods outside the village, but just as the two were about to run into the woods, Aqua suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground in pain.

"Aqua...... What's wrong with you?!" The young man hurriedly stopped and tried to lift Aqua up, only to find that Aqua had a sharp arrow stuck in his right calf, and the entire right leg was bleeding profusely.

"Young master, leave me alone...... Hurry, hurry up!!" Aqua shouted at the young man as he looked back at the villagers who were chasing after him.

"No, no, you stay here and die, I can't let you die!" said the young man resolutely, leaning over to pick up Aqua and hurrying forward, when another sharp arrow roared and grazed the scalps of the two of them to the ground.

"Neither of us can escape if this continues...... Leave me alone, young master!I, Aqua, am not someone who can be put down casually!" Aqua shook off the young man's arm, gritted his teeth and broke the sharp arrow on his leg, and took out a short stick to block the young man's back. "It is the responsibility of me and Lao Qi to protect the young master, even if we give up this life, we must do it! Young Master Zhou, let's go! Now is not the time to act in a bitter drama!"

"But ......"

"Let's go!!"

The young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and ran towards the woods in front of him, and when he looked back at Aqua again, he found that Aqua's figure had gradually drowned in the crowd.

Who...... Who can come to our rescue!

The young man walked through the woods in despair, the cold moonlight through the dense trees, scattered in the forest, he didn't know where he was going, where he could go, and the faint sound of people behind him showed that Lao Qi and Aqua had not been able to stop the pursuit.

The young man regretted it, he regretted that he had come to the mountains to investigate without permission, he regretted that he had followed the old man to this place, he regretted that he had involved his innocent companions in danger, and now all he could do was to escape, hoping to find someone to help them, and at this moment, he saw that in the dim meadow, there seemed to be a little fluorescence, drop by drop, spreading towards the unknown ahead.

This is...... The fluorescent agent I left behind at the time!?

As if he had found a life-saving straw in despair, the young man's spirit suddenly shook, he knew that as long as he followed the mark he left, he could find the off-road vehicle, and the emergency equipment on the off-road vehicle may be his only hope to find rescue.

The sound of the chase behind him gradually faded away, and it seemed that the villagers had given up the pursuit, while the young man was still chasing the fluorescent road sign in the darkness, but at this moment, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

I saw that the fluorescent road sign stretched all the way forward, becoming a little faintly indistinguishable in the mottled moonlight, and at the same time, a sense of foreboding slowly rose in his heart, lingering. He stopped, looked up, and followed the signs......

He saw a well, standing silently in the pale moonlight.

The young man stood still, trying to leave, but could not take a step, as if an invisible rope bound him and made him unable to move, but to make no mistake, he soon heard a soft footstep slowly approaching from behind him.

"Sand ...... Sand...... Sand ......

The voice was getting closer and closer, and the young man's breathing was getting tighter and tighter, and his nerves suddenly tensed to the extreme...... He turned his head stiffly, and the moment he saw the dark shadow behind him, his mind went blank for a moment!

I saw a pair of glowing green eyes close to his back, staring at him deadly.
