Volume 3 Chapter 3 Strange Changes
At six o'clock the next morning, the sky outside had already dawned, Chen Zhan got up from the bed and went outside to wash, and found that Hua'an had already gotten up and was washing, Chen Zhan said: "Morning, Brother Ye and Lao Hu haven't gotten up yet?"
Hua An said: "Brother Ye, I've gotten up, I've gone to the room to pack my things, Brother Hu hasn't gotten up yet!"
While brushing his teeth, Chen Zhan came to Hu Gang's room, knocked on the door, and heard Hu Gang's voice coming from inside, "It's here!"
After Hu Gang came out and finished washing, Ye Hai beckoned to Chen Zhan and the others, "Let's go, go downstairs and have breakfast." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
There was a rain here in the middle of the night last night, the air in the early morning seemed fresh and humid, of course, this is also related to being away from the city, there is very little fog in the air, Chen Zhan walked out of the door of the hotel, took a deep breath, and felt that the whole person became comfortable, and it was indeed a little tiring to rush in the past two days.
The roadside sellers outside had already set up stalls, and the four of them ate steamed buns and porridge early, Ye Hai said, "Go back to the room to get something, let's go."
Entered the room and put on the backpack that Hua'an gave them yesterday, and the things that Chen Zhan and the three of them brought by themselves were packed in a bag, Hu Gang scrambled to snatch this bag, in addition to the bag on his back, this backpack was hanging obliquely on his body, and Hua'an was also holding an extra bag, which contained medicine and dry food.
The four of them went downstairs together, Hua'an was pointing the way, the four of them set off towards Heifengling, there was a winding path at the beginning of the road, there were some fields on both sides from time to time, scattered east and west, but the more they went to the back, the narrower it became, the four of them took out the American-style machete in their bags, and cut off the small branches that stretched into the road on both sides while walking, Ye Hai walked in front of the road, Huaan followed behind with a compass in his hand to guide the way, Hu Gang walked in the middle, and Chen Zhan walked in the rear.
After walking for three hours, the path was gone, and there was a dense forest in front of me, although it was morning, but the forest was very dark, and the mountain was always covered with fog, and the light naturally became darker.
Walking and walking, suddenly Ye Hai in the front suddenly turned around, and instantly slashed away with a machete to Hua An's side, and saw a touch of blood floating in the air, Ye Hai suddenly startled Hua An, Chen Zhan and Hu Gang looked at it, it was a snake with a length of one meter and three meters, a large triangular head, and a brown body.
"Good fellow, it's a five-step snake! Actually engaged in a surprise attack. Hu Gang looked at the poisonous snake on the ground and said in surprise, just now this five-step snake suddenly jumped up from the bushes on the side to bite Hua'an, was discovered by Ye Hai, and the knife fell in his hand, and the corpse of the five-step snake was divided with one blow, and Hu Gang kicked the head of the five-step snake on the ground into the jungle on the side.
Ye Hai told Chen Zhan and the others: "Be more careful, there are more poisonous snakes here in Guangxi!"
Hua An said with some trepidation: "It's a pity that I lost the snake repellent medicine specially made by the master that night, otherwise these poisonous snakes would have smelled the smell of snake repellent and would have left far away."
With the scene that happened just now, the four of them became cautious, the fallen leaves in the woods were very thick, and they were soft when they stepped on it, and the fallen leaves did not reach the calves, a pit here, a pit there, it was difficult to step into the pit and then pull it out, Hua An held a compass in his hand and kept comparing the direction at all, so the speed of the four people was relatively slow.
In the mountains and forests such an environment to rush is really not able to raise the speed, on the one hand have to pay attention to the poison insects and poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests, but also to pay attention to the direction of the road is not wrong, getting lost in the mountains and forests is a very dangerous thing, every year there are countless travelers in the mountains and forests lost, want to rely on their own to get out of the probability is very low, most people are found by the search and rescue team to rescue, but there are some people are not so lucky, and finally trapped in the mountains and forests.
Especially in Guangxi, the forest area is larger, there are many kinds of trees, it is more difficult to distinguish the direction in the mountains and forests than in other places, at one o'clock at noon, Chen Zhan and the four of them stopped to rest, after all, the rush for several hours in a row is very physically demanding, after the four of them have eaten dry food and drank water, Hu Gang asked: "Xiaohua, how long can I get there?"
"Brother Hu, I've walked more than half the way now, and I estimate that I will be able to arrive at five or six o'clock in the afternoon!" Hua An observed his surroundings and said.
Ye Hai said: "We will rest for a while, and then hurry away, once it is night, this forest will become more dangerous, and those wild beasts, poisonous insects, and poisonous snakes are more active at night."
Having said that, after resting for a while, the four of them continued to set off, but because of the rain last night, the ground became more and more slippery as they went, and the speed of the four of them became a little slower than before.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them still failed to reach their destination, the light in the forest was originally very dim, and now the surroundings have begun to become dark, just by the naked eye to observe the surrounding environment is a little reluctant, the four of them took out the wolf's tooth flashlight, and the environment in front of them suddenly became bright.
At seven o'clock, Hua An said, "It's almost there."
Chen Zhan and the four of them continued to walk forward for more than ten minutes, Ye Hai in front suddenly raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop, Chen Zhan and Hu Gang Hua'an walked to Ye Hai's side, their eyes looked ahead vigilantly, Hu Gang asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Brother Ye, what did you find?"
Ye Hai looked ahead and said softly: "I accidentally saw a figure in front of me just now!"
Immediately Chen Zhan and the three of them became vigilant, it was more than seven o'clock, the environment in the forest had become night, and suddenly a figure appeared, which couldn't help but make people cautious, the wolf tooth flashlight in Ye Hai's hand slowly moved to the side, Chen Zhan and the three of them looked in the direction of Ye Hai's flashlight, and there seemed to be a person standing there in the dense woods not far ahead, but the branches in the forest were dense, and it was impossible to see who it was.
Hu Gang shouted at the figure in front of him: "Hey, who is it in front!" Now at this point, why are you still in the forest?"
But the figure in front of him still stood motionless, and there was no response, Chen Zhan and the four of them tried each other's looks, and the four of them slowly walked towards the figure, and when they approached, they found that it was a military general carved in stone.
Hu Gang looked at the stone man in front of him and said, "I'll go, it turned out to be a stone man, which scared people!"
At this time, Hua An's face became a little ugly, and he said, "No, Brother Hu, when I came here with Master before, there were no stone statues at all!"
Hu Gang frowned and said, "No! With such a big stone statue, it is difficult for it to run over by itself!"
Quite Gao Huaan said this, Chen Zhan circled around the stone figurines twice, the light of the wolf's tooth flashlight hit the stone man, and after careful observation, the face of the stone man looked a little gloomy and terrifying under the light.
This stone figure is carved from a whole piece of black rock, it is a military general's shape, with a helmet carved on his head, his eyes are very large, his eyebrows are upside down, and his body is carved with armor.
Ye Hai squatted down and took a look at the stone man's feet, the fallen leaves covered the stone man's calves, Ye Hai pushed away the fallen leaves around the stone man's calves, revealing the pattern of the military boots engraved on the stone man's feet, Ye Hai looked at the traces around the stone man's calf, grabbed a handful of soil in his hand, pinched it, frowned and said: "Something is wrong, the soil around the stone man's underground is fresh, like the soil that has just been turned out of the ground, and there are no rotten branches and leaves mixed in it!" And the dirt around is so empty!"
Chen Zhan also grabbed a handful of soil, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's really, it seems that this place is really weird, let's be careful!"
The sudden appearance of the stone man, this strange phenomenon made Chen Zhan and the four of them more cautious, and continued to walk forward, but the further they went, the more stone men they saw, and one appeared every other distance, as if they surrounded Chen Zhan and the four of them, Chen Zhan and the four of them went up to check and found that like the previous stone man, the soil on their feet was fresh.
Slowly the moisture on the forest floor slowly emerged from the surface, it seemed that it was even more foggy at this time, a hazy, walked for half an hour, the more Chen Zhan walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, there were almost hundreds of these stone figures, although there was no danger, but it made people feel more and more that there was a problem.
Ye Hai stopped, frowned at Chen Zhan and Hu Gang, the three of them glanced at each other, Hu Gang looked at Ye Hai and Chen Zhan and said, "You also found out?!"
Only Hua An didn't know why, and asked suspiciously, "What, Brother Hu?"
Hu Gang said to Hua An: "Xiao Hua, we are going in circles!"
"How is that possible! We've been walking in the direction of the compass!" Hua An said in surprise, pressing the compass in his hand, and the four of them were heading in the direction of the northeast.
Chen Zhan said: "If you don't believe it, you turn around and look at the direction of the compass!"
Hua An turned in one direction, only to see the needle of the compass swaying slightly, and the direction he was facing was still northeast, Hua An exclaimed: "Brother Chen, is it possible that we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall?"
Chen Zhan shook his head and said: "The ghost hitting the wall will not be able to go out in a circle, and the radius of the ghost hitting the wall is generally in the range of about one kilometer, you calculate how long we have been walking, the ghost hitting the wall is just a cycle back and forth, the probability of encountering a ghost hitting the wall in the forest is very low, and there is me and Lao Hu here, if we really encounter a ghost hitting the wall, we would have found it a long time ago."
"Isn't it a ghost hitting the wall? So what did we encounter?" Hua An asked puzzled.
"We should have encountered a maze, and we were still thinking about what happened to these stone men who suddenly appeared, but it turned out that they were used to arrange a maze, and these stone men can affect the compass, making people fall into the maze unconsciously!" Chen Zhan looked at the stone figures around him and said.
Hua An said with some uneasiness: "Then how should we get out?"
"Don't worry, with me and Lao Chen here, the maze can't trap us!" Hu Gang patted Hua An on the shoulder and comforted, Hu Gang's eyes flashed, and instantly poured out his divine consciousness and shrouded it around, but in less than three seconds after shrouding his divine sense, Hu Gang let out a strange scream, instantly took his divine consciousness back, and said with a shocked face: "I'll go, these stone people can block the divine consciousness and trap my divine consciousness, and I can't extend it!"
