Chapter 634: The Stockade

"Brother Chen, it's not a way to find it like this, or ...... Shall we call more people? Casually slapped a leech that had just been attached to his calf, Wu Bing hesitated and said to Chen Ran.

They had been in this boundless jungle for another two days, although he wished to follow Chen Ran like this all the time, but seeing that he hadn't found what Chen Ran was looking for after looking for a few days, he didn't have the relaxed mood he had at the beginning.

In fact, Wu Bing wanted to say this sentence to Chen Ran a long time ago, when he was still in the city, he knew that Chen Ran was looking for a snake, Chen Ran also told him that the snake was familiar with the taste and breath of Chen Ran's body, as long as they got close to the snake, the other party would find them according to the smell, but not to mention how long the Nu River was, how big these mountains and forests above the Nu River were, only that the Nu River didn't know how many diverted the river, who knew where it was washed away, counting on the two of them to find it, wasn't that looking for a needle in a haystack?

"What's wrong? Running out of patience? ”

At this time, Chen Ran was not the slightest discouraged, not only was he not discouraged, but he was very excited, what Wu Bing didn't know was that last night, he had already sensed the storage of the blood cup.

It's a wonderful feeling, and all of a sudden there's a sense of blood connection, like two people standing together with one hand out and holding it together, and you don't even have to feel like you can know which hand is your own without having to look at it.

That is, it has become a part of my body.

This feeling is the wonderful heart-to-heart connection between the blood cup and its owner.

In the method of refining the blood cup obtained by Chen Ran, it was even said that the blood cup had reached a certain level, and this kind of mental connection between the blood cup and the master could be sensed even if it was thousands of miles away.

At present, Chen Ran obviously can't do this, and although he senses the storage of the blood cup, he can't sense the specific location of the blood cup, and he doesn't even know which direction the blood cup is in and how far away it is, but he senses the storage of the blood cup and knows that the blood cup is not far from him.

"Of course not......"

>

"How far have we come today?"

Chen Ran looked around, and at a glance, in addition to the trees, there were all kinds of vines like wattles in the jungle, and there were no more puddles of water, and it was estimated that such a road could only walk more than ten miles a day, and they set off at eight o'clock in the morning today, and now they have been walking for almost five hours.

"It should be five or six miles, and it should be easier to walk to the mountain in front of you."

Wu Bing couldn't say how far they had walked, he could only say a rough idea, after all, although they had been walking, they were walking too slowly, just like the swamp in front of them, the two of them were completely flowing through the water, and it was strange that they could be fast.

Chen Ran nodded, there was a steep mountain in front of him, and it was said that they should go slower to climb the mountain, but now they were eager to let them climb the mountain, and it would be easier to walk over the mountain with the body of the two of them, at least they didn't have to wear these swamps when they climbed the mountain.

The two of them had only eaten for a short time, so this body was very vigorous, and while supporting each other while wearing this swamp, in the process, they naturally encountered a lot of snakes and insects and other poisons.

However, both of them were rubbed with insect repellent and snake repellent potions, and ordinary snakes and insects basically did not dare to approach them.

After walking for about two hours, they finally passed through the swamp completely, and before they reached the foot of the mountain, the road on the ground gradually dried up, especially when there was a kind of green grass on the ground that seemed to be paved and it was very soft to step on.

And when he got here, although Chen Ran couldn't sense how far the blood cup was from him, and in which direction he was going, he could sense that the blood cup was getting closer and closer to him.

Although the mountain is quite steep, it is much easier for the two of them, and they reached the top of the mountain in less than half an hour.

"Yike...... There are still people living there! As soon as he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the other side of the mountain, Wu Bing couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Ran couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it, this side of the mountain was a huge valley, and the other directions of the valley were full of very steep cliffs from a distance, only the direction of the back mountain of the valley was relatively gentle, and on this back mountain, it was obvious that some houses built on the hillside could be seen.

It's a little far away, Wu Bing doesn't need a telescope for a while, he can only see the houses built over there but can't see what it looks like, Chen Ran has better eyesight, and he can see that those houses are wooden houses standing against the mountains, which gives people a bit like a cottage in the mountains in ancient times or a cottage inhabited by ethnic minorities.

"Let's take a look." Taking the telescope and looking around, Chen Ran said to Wu Bing that although he had a map of the surface of the Nu River, it was actually just a rough line, and this line was said to be estimated, so he wanted to go to this village, which is estimated to be inhabited by ethnic minorities, to inquire, so as not to go in the wrong direction and turn around and look for it again.

Wu Bing naturally had no opinion, after staying in the jungle for so many days, he had already suffocated, so when he heard Chen Ran's mention, he immediately put the backpack that had just been placed on the ground on his back, looking very interested.

Although Wu Bing is a soldier, he has been in the guard since he joined the army, and he doesn't have much knowledge with the chief except for meeting people, and the time he has followed Chen Ran can be said to have completely subverted his perception of this world, making him especially interested in these mysterious and strange things now.

The location where they are now is on the top of the hill on the side of the cottage, so they don't need to go down the mountain, just go around the top of the mountain, but before the two of them have gone around to the direction of the back mountain, they saw a scene that surprised them.

"What's going on?"

Wu Bing looked in the direction of the stockade, stopped suddenly, and asked in surprise.

"It's on fire!"

Chen Ran was also taken aback, only to see a column of black smoke suddenly rising in the direction of the cottage they were looking at in the back mountain, what else could it be like if it wasn't on fire?

The cottage was on fire, although Chen Ran and the others were surprised, they were not surprised, after all, it was normal for a fire in the mountains and forests, but what made them strange was that after this column of black smoke came up, black smoke came out from one place after another.

It's someone setting fire!

Chen Ran and Wu Bing glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel strange, although this place is in a remote area, but anyway, it is also a legal society now, how can someone directly set fire to the village, and it is even more coincidental and coincidental that they happened to run into it.

I don't know if it's because I watched too much TV or other reasons, at this moment, Chen Ran suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, will this fire be ...... Relate?

Although their hearts were full of suspicions, after glancing at each other, the two did not dare to hesitate and immediately rushed to the direction of the back mountain.

Originally, the two of them just walked briskly to the back mountain, but now they are rushing away, no matter what the situation is over there, when they encounter such a thing, it is always good for them to rush over as much as possible, if they simply burn the house, it is naturally the best, if someone deliberately sets fire, it is also good to help the villagers save people and extinguish the fire.

Although it is easier to walk on the top of the mountain without a jungle road, it is the so-called "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", although Chen Ran and they can see the direction of the back mountain at a glance when they stand in the place where they just now, but they have only run half of it for more than 30 minutes with their footsteps.

And in the process, the two of them also saw with their own eyes the scene of the cottage from the beginning of the black smoke to being flooded by thick fires, and then to the jungle around the cottage also burning.

By the time Chen Ran and the others ran to the top of the mountain behind the cottage and then rushed down along a carved mountain road from the top of the mountain, the entire cottage had almost burned down, the jungle around the cottage had almost burned out, and the flames spread to the cliffs on both sides of the valley and gradually extinguished.

At this time, Chen Ran also noticed something wrong first, it is said that whether it is a fire or someone deliberately set it on fire, then the cottage should be a mess at this moment, however, they are already about to run to the cottage, but they didn't hear a little noise.

There was no sound except for the sound of the fading flames burning and the breeze blowing.

This is clearly not right!

But at this time, Chen Ran didn't think much about it, at this time he had already left Wu Bing far behind, and when he braved the boiling heat to rush to the back mountain gate of the cottage, he was suddenly stunned by the scene inside the mountain gate.

Chen Ran stared blankly at this village, which was obviously inhabited by ethnic minorities, and even if Wu Bing ran to him panting, he didn't have the slightest reaction.

"Brother Chen, you really ...... running"

Chen Ran ran faster than Wu Bing, and Chen Ran ran here almost out of breath and sweat, but Wu Bing ran out of breath, he ran to Chen Ran and didn't care to look up, he bent over with his hands and legs and lowered his head and gasped for breath, he gasped and talked to Chen Ran while naturally raising his head, but before he finished speaking, he also saw the scene in the village, and suddenly the words that came to his mouth stopped abruptly.

Wu Bing was also stunned by the scene in his village, and even forgot to breathe for a while.

The two of them didn't speak as if they had been pointed, but just stared blankly at the stockade in front of them.

I saw that on the bluestone road in the mountain gate of the village, on the stone table of the courtyard, on the side of the courtyard wall made of stones, and under the stone steps of the mountain gate where they were, at a glance, a corpse that had either been beheaded or directly cut into two halves from the waist and died in a very tragic manner, plus the viscous red blood on the ground......

This qiē is so stunned and shocking!

Although it was a little late, it was sent out......
