Chapter 699: The Soul Tree
There were not many people who went to Shenshan this time, except for Zhou Chen's four people, each of them brought one or two proud subordinates, a total of ten people. The female concubine was bitten by the demon wolf, although the injury was not serious, but it also had an impact, and the trip was full of dangers, too dangerous, Zhou Chen did not take her, only Shika alone.
According to the map, ten people are heading towards Mount Kinabalu.
The snow was very thick, and the road was extremely difficult to navigate, and even though the ten people had cultivated well, they could walk quite slowly. After two days, I finally arrived at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, looking at the towering peaks, and I couldn't see the top of the mountain as far as the eye could see.
"The one in front should be the Divine Finger Mountain." Zhou Chen held the map in one hand and pointed to one of the tallest mountains in the distance with the other.
"That's right, according to the map, it should be that one." Jiang Zhikun glanced at the map in Zhou Chen's hand, then looked at the mountains in the distance, nodded, and continued: "I don't know if those lamas have arrived, I really don't understand what this matter has to do with those lamas, why don't you chant scriptures in the temple and come to the sacred mountain to do it." ”
"So we have to investigate clearly, if they are entrusted by the State Education Bureau, this matter is related to my teaching." Zhou Chen put away the map and said deliberately.
Jiang Zhikun and Feng Tian glanced at each other and didn't say anything.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Chen glanced at it, and sneered in his heart, he actually passed the news under his nose, really thought he was blind, said lightly, put away the map, and walked towards Shenzhi Mountain with steps.
The snow is still very thick.
It's almost up to the waist.
Ten people are not weak in cultivation, and it is not difficult to walk with skill, but it is extremely exhausting; After walking for nearly two hours, I only climbed a few miles, but along the way, I encountered no danger, not even animals. After resting for more than half an hour, I continued to climb for about two hours, and the sky gradually darkened. After some discussion, they decided that it was too dangerous to walk at night, so they decided not to go any further, and found a cave nearby to rest.
Inside the cave.
Bonfires burn.
All ten people gathered in the cave, no one spoke, the whole cave was terrible, only the branches of the trees burned and made a "crackling" sound.
"This sacred mountain is so big, even if you know that the Bright Sect and the lamas are here, it's really not easy to find it." Jiang Zhikun filled the bonfire with a handful of firewood, took the lead in breaking the silence, and said.
"Yes! When you come to Shenzhi Mountain, it is not easy to find the footprints of the Holy See and the Lama. Although there is snow all year round, there are constant heavy snowfalls, and even if there are footprints, they will be covered after a while, and even if there are traces, it is difficult to find them. Feng Tian nodded and agreed.
Zhou Chen was silent, grabbing firewood from time to time and throwing it into the fire.
When we got together, we didn't discuss anything, so everyone prepared to rest and set out early tomorrow morning to continue the search. The cave was large enough for ten people to rest, and each of them found a place to sleep and lay down on the firewood they had gathered.
Not long after, someone started snoring.
Zhou Chen's sleep has always been very light, and the slightest sound can wake him up; What's more, at this time, there were people snoring in the cave, and coupled with some things that had happened in the past few days, he was really tossing and turning. Slowly sit up, meditate and practice cross-legged; The Bagua Divine Fist had not yet run for a cycle, and Zhou Chen felt that something was wrong, and immediately opened his eyes, but he didn't notice that something was wrong; Suddenly, he smelled that something was wrong with the air, and there was a fragrance in the air.
It was a very rich fragrance, a bit like sandalwood.
But Zhou Chen was very sure that this was not sandalwood.
Although this fragrance can make people calm like sandalwood, Zhou Chen vaguely felt that there was a sense of confusion in this fragrance; Sensing this, Zhou Chen immediately closed his mouth and nose, and was about to open his mouth to wake up everyone, only to see one of them sit up, then stand up, and walk towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hey."
As soon as Zhou Chen finished shouting, the man slowly turned around.
Looking at that face, Zhou Chen was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, it was a dead man's face, not angry at all. At that moment, another man, like the man in front of him, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Chen shouted, and several people in the cave woke up immediately, looking at Zhou Chen with their eyes in unison, Jiang Zhikun hurriedly asked; Zhou Chen didn't speak, and stretched out his finger to the two people who were walking towards the entrance of the cave.
"Chu Feng, Li Yi, what are you two going to do?" Chu Longyin's face was full of anger and roared.
These two were Chu Longyin's subordinates, and seeing that his subordinates were walking out of the cave, Chu Longyin was naturally very dissatisfied; But the two of them didn't seem to hear Chu Longyin's roar at all, and their bodies stiffened and walked out of the hole.
Everyone was full of surprise, and Chu Long hurriedly got up to catch up.
"Stop chasing, they're dead." Zhou Chen opened his mouth to stop.
Rumble!
What the?
These two are dead?
How can it be?
They can still walk.
How could it be dead?
Several people looked at Zhou Chen one after another, their faces full of incomprehension.
"I don't know why, but when they got up just now, I saw their faces, which are not the faces of a living person." Zhou Chen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If you guess correctly, it may be related to the branches we burned." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever smelled a faint fragrance, similar to the smell of sandalwood?" Zhou Chen asked.
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously moved their noses, and they did smell a faint fragrance.
"If you're not mistaken, the scent is likely to be breathtaking; When a person is asleep, the soul is also the weakest time. And this fragrance takes the opportunity to take away the soul, making people lose their soul, but walking under the traction of this fragrance. Zhou Chen said slowly.
"How is this possible? Is there anything weird like this in the world? Chu Longyin's face was full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, this is my speculation, and whether it is true or not is also subject to examination; But now it seems that we had better stop sleeping and stay up until dawn! Zhou Chen said with a wry smile on his face.
"Stay up until dawn? If this continues, we will be trapped and trapped before we have found any trace of the Bright Sect and the Lama. Chu Longyin was already full of hatred for Zhou Chen, and now that he had lost two more subordinates, he was even more unhappy, whatever Zhou Chen said, he didn't feel right, and kept retorting.
"You love to sleep or not, who the fuck didn't force you." Zhou Chen was also angry, and scolded angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know how many people the Bright Sect had on this trip and whether he could deal with it, Zhou Chen would have slaughtered Chu Longyin a long time ago. I didn't expect this old boy to be so hard to find it that he couldn't be happy, he was just dead!
Wait!
It won't take long.
Master will definitely cut off your head.
Chu Long couldn't say a word, turned his head and walked to the corner, sitting alone.
Can't sleep.
There is nothing to do.
This is indeed a difficult thing, but for Zhou Chen's group, patience is a common thing, and they don't feel that it is too difficult. After sitting like this for two hours, Zhou Chen took out his watch and glanced at it, but he didn't expect the time of the watch to be messed up, Zhou Chen said to Jiang Zhikun: "Elder Jiang, what time is it?" ”
Jiang Zhikun swept open the sleeve on his wrist, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said suspiciously: "Strange, the time of the watch is wrong!" Why is it only five o'clock now? ”
Everyone took out their watches one after another, and the time on everyone's watch was not right, and their faces showed a deep look of fear.
"What's going on? This mountain is too strange, isn't it? Even the watch time is wrong. Jiang Zhikun exclaimed.
"Crunch"
"Crunch"
At this moment, there was a series of sounds of feet stepping on the snow outside.
Someone's coming.
