Chapter 003: The Forest Keeper
“...... Is that...... One person ?..."
Or a human-like thing...... Although Lao Chai is some distance away from that person, it is not so bad that he can't see the person's facial features clearly, but the strange thing is that no matter how closely he looks, he can't see that person's facial features clearly. Lao Chai even had some doubts about whether that 'person' had facial features......
Thinking of this, a chill broke out in Lao Chai Da's heart. Just imagine, in a place where no one will be haunted at all, suddenly a person quietly appears behind him, and what is even more creepy is that that person may not even have facial features...... That mood can be described as a breakdown.
At this time, Lao Chai was already terrified to the extreme. The person still stood motionless, although he couldn't see the person's facial features clearly, he always felt that the person seemed to be staring at him with his eyes, and instantly felt a burst of cool air in his back hit the heart.
"Hey, who are you?" asked Lao Chai tentatively, a little nervously. But the man didn't respond as if he hadn't heard. Lao Chai shouted a few more words, but still didn't get a response. The two of them were so close to each other for a cup of tea. Lao Chai was a little flustered.
"It's not a matter of just doing it, it's better to withdraw first" Lao Chai muttered in his heart.
But the tragedy is that due to the excessive tension just now, the legs have already stiffened and numb. "Damn it.." Lao Chai cursed secretly in his heart. Isn't this the key time to drop the chain? Lao Chai frowned, and beads of sweat slowly flowed down his wrinkled forehead. Lao Chai gritted his teeth with a hideous face, as if he was slowly dragging one of his legs back with all his strength.
Just when that leg was just a little bit of a tendency to move, Lao Chai inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the 'person'. It doesn't matter if you look at it, Lao Chai's eyes can't fall, and Lao Chai gasps. I saw that the 'person' who had been motionless had raised an arm at some point. The whole body was still standing stiff and straight in the distance as before, the only difference was that the right arm was raised at some point, pointing straight to the direction where Lao Chai was.
This sudden change completely scared Lao Chai stupid, no matter which way you think about it, this is not a good sign. There is only one thought in my heart, run, run. Get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. At the same time that Lao Chai decided to turn around and run away, the arm raised by the man moved again, but this time the whole process was clearly seen by Lao Chai.
The man's arm was repeating the "come here" gesture. Lao Chai understood this gesture at that time, and after living for so many years, this was really the only time he was frightened by this ordinary gesture.
"It's over, it's over,,, it's asking me to go over."
"Thinking with my toes, this can't be passed, such a 'thing' suddenly appeared in this evil place, and I plan to let myself pass, if this really passes, what good thing can I do?,,, could it be that I want to invite myself to dinner" Lao Chai muttered a little self-deprecating in his heart.
"You're very polite, and you plan to let me go, but no matter how hospitable you are, I can't appreciate it today, after all, I can't throw my life here just to cut down a few trees."
Lao Chai took a few deep breaths, turned around quickly and just wanted to take a step, when suddenly a very severe pain spread from his head all over his body, and due to the sudden severe pain, his legs were kneeling on the ground with an unstable center of gravity. From the almost distorted expression on Lao Chai's face, you could see how intense the pain was. This sudden sharp pain is so strange,,Could it be,,That person is making trouble?
Lao Chai suddenly flashed a trace of this thought in his heart, so Lao Chai turned his head to look in the direction of that person with a painful expression. The man still hadn't changed in the slightest, still repeating the gesture. But the strange thing is that the headache is gradually disappearing, and Lao Chai can't bother to investigate the reason in detail. At this time, Lao Chai had only one thought in his heart, that is, to get out as soon as possible, otherwise it would be true whether his life could be saved.
Lao Chai turned his head, and just as he wanted to stand up, the sharp pain came out of his head again. It was even more intense than before, and Lao Chai's eyes were bloodshot due to the severe pain, but he couldn't scream.
Every time Lao Chai wanted to escape, there would be a sharp pain in his head, but every time Lao Chai turned around, the sharp pain would disappear. Don't... Is that guy really doing it? Lao Chai turned his head in the direction of that person again in disbelief. That's when Level 7 happened, and the sharp pain disappeared, and disappeared without a trace, as if it hadn't happened in the first place. Lao Chai's heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle at this time, and all kinds of thoughts and thoughts poured into his heart, and he was at a loss.
"Do you really want to go over? It seems that it is impossible to escape,"
"Alas, it doesn't matter, I can't run anyway, just go over and take a look, the big deal is death, and besides, I won't necessarily die" Lao Chai thought in his heart. Slowly stood up, picked the axe from the ground and held it tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed down. With a bleak and cold attitude, he walked towards the man.
It's also strange to say, just now he was collapsed to the ground by severe pain without taking a single step, and now he walked in the direction of that person, and there was no trace of pain and discomfort in his head or even his entire body.
Lao Chai thought so in his heart, although he was going forward with the worst intentions, but he still had a fluke mentality in his heart, so he put the axe across his chest and walked forward cautiously. Just when Lao Chai walked about twenty meters away from the person, Lao Chai slowed down, and he could basically see the person's appearance at this distance.
I saw that the person not far away was dressed in a bright blue, and his clothes were slightly different from the current people, and he looked like a man in his thirties. But he still couldn't see his specific appearance, so Lao Chai cautiously moved a few steps forward tentatively, this move didn't matter, Lao Chai's whole body seemed to be hit by five thunders, and he stayed in place......
Following Lao Chai's gaze, through the person's body, you can vaguely see the shape of the tree behind it, it turns out that the whole body is not an entity but an illusory human form, and what makes Lao Chai feel even more incredible is that his entire body is suspended in the air, because it is very close to the ground, so it looks like he is standing on the ground. At this time, Lao Chai was stunned by this series of discoveries, and an idea popped up in Lao Chai's heart, that is, the thing in front of him was not a person, but a soul. Therefore, it can be explained why he couldn't see his facial features before, not that he didn't have it, but that it was too illusory to see clearly. Lao Chai unconsciously gasped when he thought of this, it turned out that he had been 'playing' with himself for so long and was actually a soul. Lao Chai's intestines are now repentant, why didn't he listen to the words of a few old men, he had to come here to complain.
Lao Chai seems to have experienced a century at this time, and in this short period of less than a stick of incense, he has been discovered one after another to break through his bottom line again and again, and the challenger's own nerves seem to be a little numb by now. It doesn't matter at all, as if your fate is no longer up to you.
If there is any danger this time, it will really be called heaven and earth. Just as Lao Chai was full of remorse, the person who had been motionless before suddenly lowered his raised arm slowly, turned around and walked towards the forest. It's already obvious that you're going to take yourself somewhere.
"A ghost in front leads the way, followed by a mortal fetus with a flesh, can you go on like this, yes, this time, Xiao Ming is estimated to have been explained" Lao Chai basically didn't have any hope at this time, but became relaxed, and didn't take an ax to deal with the unexpected, even if there was really any unexpected danger, what can the axe do? Even if the ghost was really 'dead', it was amused to death by his own stupidity.
So Lao Chai put the axe in his waist, and followed the soul with a relaxed expression and slowly walked forward. Unconsciously, he has come to enter the old forest, Lao Chai relaxed, as if he was sightseeing, look here and there, as if the person leading the way in front is not a soul but a tour guide.
This is the first time I have entered the old forest, the forest is full of tangled trees, the forest is very dense, and occasionally a beam of sunlight shines down through the gap between the branches and leaves, bringing a little light to the forest.
The further you go inside, the darker it becomes, and the most uncomfortable part is the quietness. It's so quiet, it's surprisingly quiet. I've been cutting down trees for 20 years, and I've been in a lot of big and small forests, but none of them are as good as the old ones... Strangely, there was not a trace of sound around, and the only little sound was the sound of his own footsteps, which was very clear in the forest. I followed the spirit for a while, and I didn't know where I was, and when I looked back, I couldn't see the outside of the forest, and I was already in a strange and quiet forest. If you come, you will be safe, Lao Chai just kept a certain distance from the soul in front of him, and followed slowly in the back. At some point, the spirit in front of him suddenly stopped, and stopped next to a huge dead tree that had fallen for an unknown number of years, and floated motionless in front of it, without turning around, as it did when I first saw him. Lao Chai also stopped, "What's the matter?" Lao Chai muttered quietly.
Lao Chai looked at the blue soul standing motionless not far away, and after a stalemate of about a cup of tea. Lao Chai is a little impatient, he has come here, what else is there to be afraid of, besides, he has already come in, no matter what, Lao Chai thought in his heart. So Lao Chai gritted his teeth and decided to go forward to find out.
Said that he was not afraid, but the nervousness in his heart could not be avoided no matter what, Lao Chai carefully and slowly walked around to the front of the soul, and came to the big tree lying on the ground, in this process, Lao Chai's eyes never left the soul. When Lao Chai walked around to the front of the soul, he found that the spirit was staring down at the big tree, as if it had found something. Lao Chai looked at the soul's gaze, and at this look, Lao Chai gasped, and almost didn't take his back to breathe, and he actually ...... on the big tree lying horizontally
