Who is it?

Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, squinted his eyes and looked down, and found that the person who came seemed to be a short and fat guard wearing a bronze mask and wearing Miao people's costumes. I saw the guard looking left and right on the edge of the uninhabited terrace, and after making sure that no one had found him, he trotted all the way to the edge of the cliff below Jiang Yao's window, and seemed to be tinkering with something in his hands.

What is he doing?

Jiang Yao carefully hid his figure in the shadow by the window, quietly observing the figure, only to find that the short and fat guard suddenly raised his head, and then stretched out his right hand straight up, aiming the suspected pistol in his hand at Jiang Yao.

What the!?

Jiang Yao was startled, and hurriedly dodged and retreated from the window for a few steps, accompanied by a slight muffled sound, Jiang Yao suddenly found a metal eight-claw hook "click" firmly hooked the window sill.

“…… Brother...... Can you hear me, little brother?"

A shout that had been deliberately lowered floated from under the window.

The voice...... Why does it sound familiar?

The shocked Jiang Yao hesitated, but he still didn't dare to rush forward.

"Little brother...... Don't be afraid...... It's me......"

Should it be, should it be ......?

Jiang Yao muttered in his heart, he slowly approached the windowsill vigilantly, and looked down bravely, only to see that the guard below just reached out and took off the bronze mask on his face.

With long greasy hair, a fat face, and that little eyes that are obscene no matter how you look at them, Jiang Yao can recognize them at a glance.

"You, you're ...... Wu Lao Liu!?"

Jiang Yao was dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes. "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Miss Chen......"

"This ...... It's a long story......" Wu Lao Liu looked around with a wince, and shouted nervously. "Don't worry about it so much, the rope has been set up for you, don't stand there stupidly, come down quickly!"

"Rope?" Jiang Yao came back to his senses, looked down, and sure enough, he found that the metal eight-claw hook on the windowsill had a hemp rope attached to the back end, hanging down to the terraces below the cliff.

Jiang Yao stretched out his hand and pulled the hemp rope hard, and found that it was quite strong, and there seemed to be a few protruding stones on the cliff below that could be borrowed.

The cold wind blowing in the mountains from below made Jiang Yao's face ache, but Jiang Yao didn't dare to relax at all, he kept an eye on whether any guards around him found him, and nervously climbed down the hemp rope. Fortunately, the rock wall where Jiang Yao was located was quite remote, and his hands and feet were quite neat, and it didn't take long for him to reach the terraces at the bottom of the rock wall.

"Ouch, my little brother~ I finally saw a living person!"

As soon as he saw Jiang Yao come to him, Wu Lao Liu immediately greeted him with tears in his eyes, and came to hug him firmly, that look was like seeing his relatives and fellow countrymen, Jiang Yao didn't know when his relationship with Wu Lao Liu was so "intimate".

"Wu Lao Liu, you ...... Why are you in this village? And what's the situation with your dress?"

Jiang Yao's expression twitched and he struggled to break free from Wu Lao Liu's "warm embrace", and glanced up and down at Wu Lao Liu's equipment.

"Hey, don't mention it, if I hadn't stolen the guard's key and clothes and slipped out in disguise, I guess I would still be locked up in the basement at this time!" Wu Lao Liu shook his head with a sad face, and by the way, beckoned Jiang Yao to hide in a shadowy corner on the edge of the terraces.

"Locked in the basement, you were captured?" Jiang Yao asked in a low voice as he glanced at the long right guard patrolling in the distance.

"Then you still need to say?" Wu Lao Liu sighed. "I won't hide it from you now, in fact, I owe some money in my hometown and am hiding from it. Originally, I heard a friend say that there was money to be made near this Changyou Mountain, but I didn't expect it to be halfway through...... Forehead...... Something went wrong. ”

Wu Lao Liu paused, and looked away a little unnaturally.

"All in all, I was alone after the accident, I had no money, and I couldn't go back to my hometown, so I came to Weiyang to work, but I didn't expect so many bad things to happen later...... I was afraid that the police would find out and repatriate, so I escaped quietly. ”

"Then why did you come to this Changyou Mountain again and be caught in the village?" Jiang Yao asked.

"This ...... Hehe, let's talk about it, it's still because of the silver~" Wu Lao Liu smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands obscenely. "Although I, Wu Lao Liu, don't have any special abilities, but I am also mixed with the 'underground rivers and lakes' after all, and I know some information...... I originally planned to go to the next province, but I suddenly heard that there seems to be a 'Blood Dansha' ore near the Xianxia Ridge of Changyou Mountain, this thing can be sold for a lot of money in the black market!"

"So, you're here to steal ore?" Jiang Yao glanced at Wu Laoliu's greedy eyes that were glowing, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

"Since there is a treasure nearby, of course you can't miss it~ Besides, this ore is not anyone's private property, so don't take it for nothing. Wu Lao Liu spread his hands and looked like he took it for granted. "After I escaped from Weiyang, I took a car to this Xianxialing to try my luck, but I didn't expect to get lost not long after entering the forest...... Later, I didn't know how to come to this village, and found that it was full of demons, and I was arrested before I could run away. ”

Wu Lao Liu finished explaining in one breath, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked up at Jiang Yao busily.

"By the way, then again, why are you here little brother?

"He's just my ...... Partner. The corners of Jiang Yao's eyes twitched, and he immediately corrected the other party's wording. "We got here because something happened, and there was a monster here, and he went with him to see it, and I ...... was placed under house arrest in the same room just now. ”

"Oh, that's right! They must have deliberately pushed away your powerful boyfriend so that they could attack you alone!" Wu Lao Liu shouted.

“…… I repeat, he is not mine...... Hey, forget it. Jiang Yao rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was too lazy to talk to Wu Lao Liu. "When you were locked up in the basement before, did you find any other humans who were locked up like us?"

"There is no living man, but there are bones. I hadn't seen anyone alive since I escaped, and then I heard from the guards that someone was also locked up in the room above, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

Wu Lao Liu sighed, shook his head and said.

"I suspect that the monsters in this place have been secretly killing all the humans who broke into their territory and secretly dug up the 'Blood Dansha'...... Now that you've discovered their secrets, they won't let you go!"

No wonder...... As soon as they mentioned the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace' before, they were very taboo, should it be true that they hurt people in private?

Jiang Yao remembered the reaction when he first met the villagers, as well as the jawbone that he had accidentally found in the house just now, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"No, no matter what, even if I have to leave, I can't just leave my partner and run for my life. Jiang Yao tried to stabilize his mind and said calmly. "He has now been taken south of the village...... It could be a place that the people here call a 'forbidden place', and I'll have to find him first. ”

"Forbidden land??" Wu Laoliu's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this. "Obediently, you don't want to die, that place is also where you can go?"

"Do you know what kind of place it is?" Jiang Yao heard the news that Wu Lao Liu seemed to know about the "forbidden land", his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

"When I was locked in the basement, I overheard the monsters chatting with the guards, saying that although there was a mass grave outside the 'forbidden land', there was a 'demon' in the depths, and if some low-level demons and people strayed into it, they would want to come out again!"

"'Demon', did you hear what they said the demon was?" Jiang Yao asked nervously.

"How do I know this?" Wu Lao Liu waved his hand and said. "I just know that this place is very dangerous, and even the villagers of this monster village don't dare to enter it casually. ”

"A dangerous forbidden place that even youkai dare not go...... Is it really okay for that guy to be taken to that kind of place?" The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the more worried he became, but in his current state, he didn't dare to rush to the forbidden place to "give away people's heads". Just as they were hesitating, the two suddenly heard a faint commotion coming from above, and when they looked up, they found that it was coming from the room where Jiang Yao had escaped before.

"Oh no, the guards found out about my escape, I have to get out of here quickly!"

Jiang Yao's face changed, and the two of them hurriedly turned around and ran out of the terraces, escaping along a hidden path on the side to the edge of the village.

"I touched the route when I came to look for you, and now it happens that the guards in the village are not there, we can escape to the forest through this path!" Wu Lao Liu looked around carefully, and at the same time dexterously took Jiang Yao to shuttle in the shadows of the mountains, and skillfully hid in the blind spot of the surrounding patrol guards, that sophisticated appearance contrasted sharply with the seemingly clumsy short and fat figure, and even Jiang Yao couldn't help but be a little impressed by it.

"Hehe, don't look at me like this, after all, Lao Tzu is also a mess, how can he do it without any skills?" seemed to see Jiang Yao's surprise, and the smugness on Wu Laoliu's face was undisguised. "Speaking of which, you should also be a stranger, right?

"Huh, I ...... Forehead...... "Jiang Yao was stunned, and I didn't know how to answer." Because he is neither a "person from the rivers and lakes", nor a person from the "Spirit Palace", if he really wants to say it, he can only say that he is a "marginal refugee" who is always involved in the troubles of the dark world.

"Oh~ I know, I guess you're still a newcomer, right? It's okay, it's okay~ After all, we can also be regarded as 'sharing hardships', and when we go out this time, I, Wu Lao Liu, will help you introduce a reliable stall, and you can do things with the back of the organization~" Wu Lao Liu patted his chest and boasted about Haikou without shame, even forgetting that he himself was a fugitive who was chased with a lot of debts, and Jiang Yao only smiled copingly when he heard it, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

"When we arrive, the forest in front is what I said!" Wu Laoliu pointed to the mountains and forests close in front of him and said excitedly. "Through this forest, you should be able to escape from the power of the monster village......"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Lao Liu's feet suddenly braked, and Jiang Yao, who was following behind, was caught off guard and almost hit him.

"What's wrong? Suddenly ......"

"Shhhhhh ”

Wu Lao Liu's eyes stared straight at a shadow in the forest in front of him, and his expression seemed to be a little strange, and Jiang Yao also raised his head and looked forward along Wu Lao Liu's line of sight, and his face suddenly changed.

He saw a headless figure, ghostly floating in the depths of the forest.
