Chapter 1491: Strange Things Happen Frequently
After saying that, the people followed the hunter up to the mountain. The mountain road is rugged and very muddy, and there is no road in this mountain at all, so I can only rely on the experience of this hunter to grope forward.
However, less than two hours after entering the mountain, there was an unexpected situation. Until the last of the guards suddenly screamed, and then there was no sound, and everyone turned their heads in fright, only to find that the guard had fallen to the ground and died.
This sudden situation caused panic among everyone, Ye Qiu'er hurriedly walked over to inspect the person's injury, but found that the person seemed to have been bitten by some poisonous insect.
Orion also went to check on it, and there was no wound on this man's body at all, but his face was indeed blue, and he died of exhaustion in less than a quarter of an hour, which shows that the poison is very deep.
Orion frowned and said: "This may be bitten by a poisonous insect unique to the mountain, you see that there is no obvious trauma on this person's body, only a very small insect like ants and centipedes will have such a situation, so everyone must be vigilant at all times, and don't provoke this thing casually, after all, this deep mountain and old forest is humid, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects and ants." ”
After hearing this, everyone trembled, and suddenly felt that this forest seemed to be becoming more and more terrifying, Ye Qiu'er had experienced those life and death times in Qixia Villa before, so she was used to these things, just watching her guards die in front of her like this, she felt a little uncomfortable, and some of them had an indescribable feeling, that feeling made her very uneasy, but she couldn't find any flaws in herself.
Moreover, this hunter was temporarily found by them, and it could not be a spy arranged by someone else, so it could not be unfavorable to them. The only explanation for his death now is that he was bitten by a poisonous bug. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu'er instructed everyone to wrap their hands and faces, and try not to leak into the air to prevent them from being bitten again.
So everyone did the same, and the group moved on. It stands to reason that the journey from the Yunguo Palace to the Chu State camp is not very far, so there are not many guards at all, but Yan Xun is worried about Ye Qiu'er's safety, so he allocated fifteen people to her. These fifteen people, all of whom are top masters, and have rich combat experience, it stands to reason that they should be very alert, but I don't know why? As soon as he entered this forest, a person suddenly died, which made Ye Qiu'er have a very bad premonition.
Although Ye Qiu'er was anxious to go to the camp of Chu State, she couldn't ignore the lives of others, and everyone walked another distance. At this time, a few screams were heard, and Ye Qiu'er hurried over, only to find that two people had tripped over the rocks.
However, everyone's torches shone down, but they couldn't help but gasp, because there were no rocks at all, but white bones. The night was dim, and in this deep mountain and old forest, there were mostly wolves roaring and tiger roaring, so everyone's nerves instantly tensed, Ye Qiu'er looked at Orion, and then asked, "Uncle, what's going on?" Do you know? ”
After the Orion came to check, he frowned and shook his head again and again, and said, "Childe, I think we should get out of here quickly, you see that some of these white bones are beasts, but a large part of them are humans." I think there must be some ferocious beast here, otherwise everyone wouldn't have died here. ”
Ye Qiu'er felt the same way, so she hurriedly said, "Okay, let's hurry up and leave." He said to the crowd: "Everyone next to each other, don't be separated, don't panic, move in a uniform manner, we will walk quickly in one direction, and we can leave the forest after a while." ”
When the people heard this, they also had confidence, but the two guards who had tripped up and fell screamed again and again. Ye Qiu'er frowned, but saw that these two people seemed to have lost their minds, and began to wave and jump in front of her, chanting words in their mouths, as if they said something like not looking for me, as if they were possessed by a ghost.
Seeing this situation, Orion was also a little scared, and hurriedly said to Ye Qiu'er: "Childe, the big thing is not good, I think these two people are possessed by demons!" Let's kill him quickly, or he'll be against us. ”
What kind of ghosts and gods does Ye Qiu'er believe, she shouted: "What demon spirit possesses!" This is simply a lie, and I think these two people are just frightened. ”
As he spoke, a knife hand stepped forward and stunned the two people. After that, Ye Qiu'er frowned, and said coldly: "Everyone must have confidence in themselves, and a few of you, carry these two people and we will set off quickly together." ”
So, two people each carried a fainted guard, and then everyone left quickly. After about half a candle of incense, everyone finally arrived at a slightly safer secluded place.
Orion said to Ye Qiu'er: "I think it's relatively safe here, it's late tonight, and we don't know a lot of road conditions, I think we should camp here to rest, it will be dawn in two hours, and we are not in a hurry at this time." ”
Ye Qiu'er thought about it, she was in a hurry before, but since she entered the forest, this strange thing happened three times in a row, Ye Qiu'er's heart was a little drumming, such as today's Orion's words, she also felt very reasonable.
If she was in a hurry and harmed everyone's lives, she herself couldn't bear it, so she said to everyone: "Everyone set up camp on the spot, light a fire, and then take turns to keep vigil." ”
The guards sprang into action, lit a huge fire, and slept around it, with two night watchmen at each hour.
Ye Qiu'er sat by the fire and didn't sleep, Orion saw that Ye Qiu'er didn't feel sleepy, so he asked, "Childe, I see that you are young, but you are really responsible." It's not early, I think you should hurry up and rest, and we have to hurry up the next day.
Ye Qiu'er smiled and said to the old man of Orion: "I think you should sleep first, you are old, your health is not good, and you have to climb the mountain with us young people, your body will definitely not be able to bear it, you should go to sleep quickly, don't worry about me." ”
The Orion saw that Ye Qiu'er had made up his mind, so he went to sleep alone.
Ye Qiu'er watched as everyone slowly snored, and the Orion had already fallen asleep. Ye Qiu'er's heart was never calm. She thought of the guards who died suddenly, and the two guards who suddenly went crazy, and she always felt that all this happened too coincidentally, but if someone framed it, it was unrealistic.
Ye Qiu'er didn't know how to explain this sudden situation, so she could only believe what this Orion said.
But she felt faintly uneasy in her heart, and even now when she sleeps, she feels a little uneasy. Although everyone was asleep, and it seemed that it would be so calm forever, she always felt that something was going to happen.
Time passed little by little, and there was nothing abnormal in everyone, Ye Qiu'er's hanging heart was put down, especially when it was dawn after a while, as long as it was dawn, many things would be solved.
At this time, the guard who changed shifts said to Ye Qiu'er: "Childe, I think you should take a nap, no matter how strong a young man is, he can't bear it even if he sits like this, not to mention that you haven't had a good rest in the past few days." Seeing that the sky is about to dawn and nothing will happen, you better sleep. Although I can't sleep for a long time, I can recharge my energy after all. Ye Qiu'er looked at the slightly pale and nodded: "Okay, I know, I'll sleep now." ”
Ye Qiu'er and her clothes were lying on the ground, she was so tired these days, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
