"W-...... this!?"

Zhou Wentao stared at the blood marks on the ground in a daze, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

"Is there anyone else coming with you this time?" Jiang Yao turned his head to look at Zhou Wentao and asked.

"Nope...... I came with me alone. Zhou Wentao came back to his senses, his face turned pale. "And...... I locked the door when I got out of the car, there could be no one inside!"

"Anyway, let's put out the fire first! It would be bad if the fire spread into the woods!"

The white pheasant's reminder woke everyone up, and at this moment, Village Chief Li also brought a large group of people to extinguish the fire, but fortunately, the fire extinguishing facilities in the mountain village were quite complete, and the fire was quickly controlled, and it was completely extinguished after a while.

"Oh, it's so dangerous, if this causes a mountain fire, then the matter will be a big problem, and this bloodstain is ......" Village Chief Li looked at the car that had been burned into an empty shell with palpitations, and looked at Zhou Wentao who was standing beside him with a complicated face.

"Let's go, go up and see what's going on. Just when everyone was helpless, Tao Tao took the lead in taking the idea, and Jiang Yao did not dare to slack off, and followed Tao Tao to step forward carefully.

There was a pungent smell of burnt air in the air, and the residual heat from the fire was still pouring from the frame of the car. Jiang Yao covered his nose and nervously took a flashlight to shine into the car, but saw that the car was empty, except for the burned seats and other equipment.

Call......

Seeing this situation, Jiang Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seriously, if he really saw any charred corpses in the car, I'm afraid it would not only be him, but even Zhou Wentao's kid would have nightmares every day.

But what about that bloodstain?

Jiang Yao lowered his head and cast his gaze on the blood trail on the ground that dragged out of the car. Previously, due to the distance, Jiang Yao couldn't see clearly, but now when he stepped forward, he found that the traces next to the car were not only bloodstains, but also a series of strange footprints, which looked like people and non-humans, only four toes, and the size was twice the size of ordinary humans, and it was impossible to see what creatures left behind.

"It's ...... Did the beast do it?" Jiang Yao observed the footprints on the ground, and then looked at the four obvious scratches on the wreckage of the fuel tank of the off-road vehicle, and suddenly had a number of the cause of the explosion in his heart, but what made him wonder what kind of beast could withstand such a close explosion, and even had the strength to escape with injuries.

"I'm afraid...... It's not a "beast" yet. The gluttony reached out and brushed the blood stains on the ground, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, then stood up and looked along the blood stains into the woods in the dark night in the distance. "In this blood, there is a smell of 'miasma'. ”

"Miasma?!" Jiang Yao suddenly thought of what Jiuya had mentioned before, and couldn't help but be surprised. "Could it be that a demonic monster attacked this car?"

"Possibly...... However, demonic creatures have always only roamed in the cracks of the Three Realms, and rarely have the opportunity to come to the Earth Realm, and this situation is indeed not normal at present. ”

Gluttony pondered, turned his head to look at Village Chief Li, and asked:

"Has anything unusual happened in the village lately?"

"Something abnormal......" Village Chief Li touched his bald head, as if reminiscing. "A few days ago, a few sheep raised in the village were bitten to death by wild wolves, does this count?"

"Wolves?"

"Actually, we didn't see it, but we came together in the morning and found that several sheep raised on the outskirts of the village had been bitten to death overnight, and some of them had been eaten to the bone, this could only be done by a wild wolf, right?" said Village Chief Li, his brows twisted into pimples. "It's strange to say, I haven't seen a wild wolf in the mountains here for so many years, why would they suddenly come out and attack the village?"

"Is the sheepfold still there? Take us to see it. Gluttony said, glanced at Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao understood, while comforting Zhou Wentao, he also followed the group to a sheepfold not far away, and observed carefully.

"That's it, after the accident, we rebuilt the sheepfold, the fence is so high, the wild wolves shouldn't be able to enter, right?"

While listening to the village chief's introduction, Jiang Yao carefully observed the ground and wall of the sheepfold, and soon found that there were four strange scratches on the ground in the corner, exactly the same as the scratches left on the off-road vehicle.

"Looks like the same creature is the ghost. Jiang Yao nodded at the gluttony and said. "If it hadn't happened to detonate the car outside tonight and escaped with injuries, I'm afraid it would have entered the village again, and it wouldn't just be the sheep that attacked. ”

"Two chiefs, is it possible...... Isn't it a wild wolf who attacked the sheepfold?" Seeing the solemn looks on the two of them, Village Chief Li couldn't help but be a little worried. "Oops...... Could it be that what those two people said two days ago is true?"

"'Those two people'?" Jiang Yao looked at Village Chief Li suspiciously. "Did anyone notice something wrong in the sheepfold?"

"Yes......" Village Chief Li nodded. "Two days ago, two men and a woman in dark blue uniforms passed by our village, and after seeing the sheepfold where we had an accident, they also said that it was probably not the wolf that did it, but when I asked them what they did, they didn't say, so we didn't take it seriously......

Dark blue uniforms ......!?

Jiang Yao was slightly stunned, glanced at Tao Tao, and then asked again:

"Village Chief Li, where have those two gone now?"

"They, huh...... It seemed that they immediately set off for the mountains, and they didn't say exactly where they went. Village Chief Li pointed to the woods outside the village, and Jiang Yao saw that the direction was the forest where the bloodstains on the side of the car had extended before.

"It seems that someone has already been one step ahead of us, but we can't ignore the situation in this village. Gluttony smiled and gestured to the white pheasant who was stunned. "Go get that pile of rocks out of your bag. ”

"Ah, but those are the ......" Bai Pheasant's face showed a reluctant look, but he couldn't resist the gluttonous and pressured gaze, so he could only helplessly "oh", and went back to the house to take out the bulging backpack, and Jiang Yao found that it was densely stuffed with a large number of crystal unknown stones......

"Village Chief Li, I won't tell you the truth, this situation is ...... Tsk, but it's troublesome. Tao Tao looked at the bald village chief, a solemn expression appeared on his face, and the village chief Li couldn't help but be a little frightened. "It's true that the one who attacked the sheepfold and the cart is not a wolf, it's probably a 'mutant beast' that has been mutated by radiation, you must not go to the forest recently, and try to stay in the house at night and don't go out, in case that thing attacks people, it will be bad. ”

"Ahh

"Alas, don't worry, we're here to solve this matter. The gluttony continued to flicker in a pretended manner, reached out to take the white pheasant's backpack, took out a small crystal stone from it, and shook it at Village Chief Li. "This stone is specially made by our country, and it is designed to defeat mutant beasts, as long as you scatter the stone along the edge of the village, that thing will not enter the village, and you will be safe. ”

"Ah...... Originally, so that's the case! I'll send someone to do it right away! Thank you so much, sir!" Village Chief Li was stunned by the gluttonous rhetoric, how dare he have any objections, and hurriedly took the bag of stones and began to arrange for people to act.

"However, this 'mutant beast' is a state secret, you must not say it, otherwise it will ......" Tao Tao said halfway, and looked at Village Chief Li with a smile, who had already figured out the meaning of his words, and quickly shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't say it, never say it! Don't worry, I can guarantee that no one in our village will say half a word! Recently, we won't go to the mountains and forests, and everything will be arranged by the state!"

"That's good. Gluttony smiled and patted Village Chief Li on the shoulder. "It's not too early, let's disperse, tomorrow morning we will go into the mountains, and I will leave the preparation of some rations to you. ”

"Rations?...... I understand! Okay, okay, I'll let people prepare right away!" Village Chief Li suddenly realized, hurriedly agreed, and personally prepared to go.

"So...... The reason why you want to clear the 'barrier stone' in my bag is to make room for you to eat?" said the white pheasant as he walked back with a pout. "I finally collected that thing from the 'Baoyan Pavilion', with this thing we can camp in the mountains with peace of mind, and now it's okay, it's all given to the village. ”

"Hehe, these ordinary villagers need the protection of the 'Enchantment Stone' more than us, right? Who knows if that monster will come back, and if something happens, it will be troublesome. Tao Tao said, looking back at Jiang Yao and Zhou Wentao who were walking together behind him. "And...... This time I went into the mountains, I was afraid that there was no food to eat in the mountains, and if I didn't bring something, the two of them would not be able to hold on. ”

"Impossible...... There are many hares and ducks in the mountains, how can they not eat?"

"If there is prey in the mountains, then the monsters will venture to the human village to find food?" the gluttony shook his head and cast his gaze on the mountains in the distance again, his expression seemed a little solemn.

"This man is in the hills...... I'm afraid something has happened. ”

-----------------------

The next day, early in the morning, at 5:30 a.m.

When the sun on the edge of the sky sprinkled the first rays of sunlight on the mountain, Jiang Yao and his party had already embarked on the journey to the mountain. After a thrilling night, Jiang Yao and others were obviously preoccupied, and even Zhou Wentao, who had always talked a lot, became silent.

"I can't see the bloodstains from yesterday in the woods, and I'm not sure if the monster is still around, so be careful. The white pheasant, the leader of the team, turned around and said solemnly to a few people.

From the beginning of entering the mountain, the white pheasant took the lead and became everyone's guide, I have to say that the white pheasant is really familiar with the terrain of the mountain, and everyone did not spend much time to reach the edge of the dense forest where Zhou Wenhai was found.

"I heard from the police officer in charge at the time that my brother had fallen on the edge of this deep mountain forest. Zhou Wentao compared the picture on his mobile phone and gestured to an area in front of him. "My brother's car was parked not far in front of me, and people found the car first through the car's positioning system, and then found my brother's. ”

"This wood...... How it feels eerie. ”

Jiang Yao looked at the black and oppressive forest in front of him, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, even in the early daylight, there was still not much light in the forest, and the silence made people a little frightened. Jiang Yao looked away and looked at the gluttony beside him, but found that the other party was also looking at the depths of the forest, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I suddenly feel that this place seems to be a little familiar......" Tao Tao retracted his gaze, glanced at Jiang Yao, and said casually. "Anyway, let's look for clues here. ”

That being said, where do you start...... Well?

Jiang Yao was thinking about it, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange glimmer of light flashing in his sight.

Jiang Yao hurriedly looked intently, but saw a fluorescent yellow point of light hidden in the grass, flashing with a ghostly glow in the shadow of the woods.
