Since leaving the ancient forest, Zhang Qing has found a caravan to keep up, after all, the road between here and the county town is far away, and most of them are narrow roads in the mountains, and it is useless to be unfamiliar with the road conditions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, these businessmen who traveled to and from Gulin County knew Zhang Daochang's name, so although the road was difficult, Zhang Qing had a very good life.

On weekdays, you only need occasional help, and you can enjoy the hospitality of others, and Zhang Qing still thinks it's very cost-effective.

And the businessmen who are traveling with them don't feel at all at a loss, after all, with the existence of Zhang Daochang, the danger along the way is much smaller, and the two sides can be regarded as mutually beneficial!

"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”

The caravan was not as lively as it had imagined, except for the occasional sound of horses, except for the creaking of carriages.

Also, after all, everyone is not playing, they are all begging for a bite to eat, where is there any mood to chat during the boring itinerary, and most of the day is to repeat the monotonous and boring walking.

Because of the limited conditions, Zhang Qing did not have any luxury carriages to travel.

Fortunately, with the existence of Long Yuan, although the daily cultivation time is much less, the progress is still not slow.

On this day, Zhang Qing was in a hurry as always, and suddenly saw a sturdy man trotting over, and said with a flattering face: "Dao Chief, there is Twin Gorges in front, and the terrain will be much better after this section, and the speed will be faster at that time."

Twin Gorges, Zhang Qing has also heard of these days, this is the iconic dividing line between Gulin and the outside world, although in terms of distance, it is only between the county town and the county seat of Gulin, but the rest of the distance here is two-thirds completed.

The sturdy man is the leader of this caravan, and he is doing the work of running a business between the two places, and he has been very respectful to Zhang Qing these days.

So when Zhang Qing heard his words, he squinted his eyes and looked up.

I saw a forest in the distance, and countless large and small hills were crowded together, almost blocking the road ahead.

But in the middle of this mountain, a faint path winds to the foot, but even Zhang Qing's eyes can't see the specific location of the way out.

It seemed that he had already guessed Zhang Qing's reaction, and as soon as he saw Zhang Qing's face showing a hint of doubt, the team leader hurriedly explained: "Dao Chief, look this way, the two peaks there are twin peaks, and there is a path between them, which is not visible from a distance, and you will find it when you get there."

Following the direction he pointed, Zhang Qing quickly found the Twin Peaks. To be honest, the Twin Peaks are not very majestic peaks, even among the surrounding mountains, they are inconspicuous, so the team leader came to report, and Zhang Qing also understood what he meant.

The caravan has indeed taken care of a lot these days, and Zhang Qing is not the kind of person who does not understand people, so he said immediately: "The mountain road is not easy to walk, I will go to take a hand when the time comes."

After listening to Zhang Qing's words, the team leader rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, and explained hurriedly: "Dao Chief, I shouldn't have bothered you, but ......"

Zhang Qing knew that without his help, the caravan would not know how much time it would take, and the leader's mood was understandable. Besides, even if it's just for yourself, you have to help the caravan go faster!

So before he could finish explaining, Zhang Qing interrupted: "You're welcome, I'm also helping myself."

Hearing this, the team leader was even more embarrassed, but just said vigorously: "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

These days, Zhang Qing has always been on the rough road, calling out the resentful spirits to help carry the goods, so after traveling for a while, Zhang Qing quickened his pace and walked to the front of the caravan.

The Twin Gorges were more difficult to walk than the mountain roads outside, so the speed of the caravan slowed down all of a sudden.

Because there were too many goods, Zhang Qing only helped the goods pass through one by one in the more difficult sections.

Therefore, the entire caravan was invisibly pulled by the boss, and Zhang Qing kept rushing to the front to help carry the goods.

"Thank you, thank you."

Leaving in the praise of everyone again, Zhang Qing did not stop, and went straight to the front of the team.

As soon as he stood still, Zhang Qing felt that something was wrong, and a faint smell drifted through the wind.

It was a stench, like ...... The smell of decomposing corpses is average.

Zhang Qing instantly lifted his spirits, he was very familiar with the smell of corpses, as a former medical student, such a smell was often smelled.

Don't say that it's normal for some corpses to decompose in the wild, because it's normal if it's one or two corpses that hunters occasionally miss, but the stench is definitely not emitted by one or two corpses.

This speculation was more certain after a gust of wind blew, so he raised his hand and said in a serious voice: "Stop, everyone is close, don't care about those things."

Zhang Qing's words came suddenly, and many people didn't react for a while. Only a few old merchants' faces changed drastically, and they didn't know what they thought.

There was an emergency, and the team leader hurried over as soon as possible, panting slightly and asking, "What's wrong with the Dao Chief?"

Zhang Qing didn't care about the actions of others, nor did he answer the leader's question, but said in a deep voice: "Is this road too peaceful?"

The increasingly strong flavor has made Zhang Qing understand that things may be more serious than he thought.

Wiping the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead in an instant, the team leader didn't care about Zhang Qing's attitude, but replied in a trembling voice: "It's too ...... Taiping, we come and go from here, and we have never encountered any accidents. ”

It may be that Zhang Qing's performance made him realize something, so he immediately added: "In a small place like ours, there is not much oil and water, and the mountain people are fierce, and there will be no strong people here."

After listening to his explanation, Zhang Qing's uneasiness was already stronger, since it was not a man-made disaster, then things were even more troublesome.

However, as the so-called art master is bold, if Zhang Qing in the past encountered this kind of thing, he must have gone as far as he could. But the current Zhang Dadao is unwilling to be so evasive.

Glancing at the team leader, Zhang Qing made a decision in his heart and said, "You go and let them assemble temporarily, and you and I will go to the front to have a look."

"What the hell is going on, Dao Chief?" The team leader asked uneasily again, Zhang Dadao's performance had already made him feel bad.

Zhang Dadao was in a very bad mood at this time, so he didn't have the patience to answer, just waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, now you hurry up and do what I say."

The leader of the team saw that Zhang Daochang was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to object, so he had to turn around and greet the other members of the caravan.

"What's the matter, big shopkeeper?"

"What happened? Why let's gather? ”

……

In the midst of the inquiry, the team leader returned to Zhang Qing's side and said respectfully: "Dao Chief, everything has been arranged."

It's not a man-made disaster, then it is probably related to other things, Zhang Dachang thought about it, but still flicked out the resentful spirit, and said to him: "Go, show me this place, don't let them be damaged."

"Whew!" With the appearance of the resentful spirit, it seems that the temperature around it has dropped by a few degrees. Without any objections, the wraith obediently whistled over the crowd and circled.

The previous beast soul was handed over to others by Zhang Qing, and now there is no other power to use except the resentful spirit in his hand for a while.

However, it is enough to think that there are resentful spirits, after all, this is not a place with abundant spiritual energy, and the possibility of accidents is much smaller.

"Let's go," Seeing the resentful spirit flying over the crowd, Zhang Qing immediately beckoned the team leader.

Looking for the gorge, the taste is getting stronger and stronger, not to mention Zhang Qing, and now even the team leader who is an ordinary person feels that something is wrong.

Running outside all year round, the leader of the team is no stranger to the smell of corpses. At this time, he smelled the smell that was getting stronger and stronger, and he knew what Zhang Qing's question meant before.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the atmosphere instantly became solemn, and the two did not speak except for walking silently.

Suddenly, Zhang Qing stopped around a corner and said in a solemn tone, "It's here."

When the team leader heard this, he immediately understood Zhang Qing's consciousness. At that moment, his legs shook a few times unconsciously, after all, he was an ordinary person, although he had a little more knowledge, but he was still a little stunned by everything he might see.

In fact, Zhang Qing is the same, he has seen a lot of corpses, but he is not ready to see a large number of corpses at one time, and he still died unnaturally.

But fortunately, he is still a little strong, so he can still remain calm and not show any disappearance.

It was his calmness that gave the team leader the confidence not to turn around and run away.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qing took the first step and turned the corner.

A strong rancid smell hit Zhang Qing's face the moment he turned around, almost making him vomit.

It was the first time he had seen such a scene, and it was hell on earth.

There were corpses scattered all over the ground, many of whom had apparently been killed on the way to escape, and many of them had been brutally broken into pieces.

"Gross!" Just when the team leader came over, he vomited directly when he saw this hellish scene.

Zhang Qing ignored him, walked directly to a few slightly intact corpses, fiddled with them a few times, and found that as expected, it was not humans who killed people.

What was left on the corpse was obviously the claw prints of beasts, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw this, if he used any murder weapon to kill people, he could still say one, two, three, and this beast paw prints would be completely blind.

Zhang Qing stood up and walked around the area, finding that there were almost no footprints in sight.

And it stands to reason that with so many corpses here, how can there be no mountain beasts to eat?

You must know that these corpses seem to have been around for a long time, and what kind of beasts have given up their prey after killing people and not eating them?

After going through everything, the answer is almost out of nowhere.

"Demon, it must be a demon," Zhang Qing said fiercely.
