The bones must have been dead for not too long, but after they died, they were devoured by wild beasts, so that they were not only dragged all over the ground, but also had a small amount of carrion on the bones.

There were also fragments of clothing scattered around the bones or hanging from or scattered around the bones.

But there was not a trace of blood on the ground, and it was obvious that this man had died very thoroughly when he was bitten by the wild beast.

Hongxing caught a glimpse of the bones, quickly turned her head away, and covered her mouth and nose with her palms.

Poplar held his breath, examined the bones, and said, "It should have been dead for a month at most, and it is likely to be one of the two inverted people who disappeared!"

"But the question is, why didn't we see these bones when we first came up the mountain?" said Iron Bull.

Poplar was also very strange, but before he could answer Tie Niu, Hongxing said: "Don't worry about anything else, get out of here quickly, it smells too bad!"

Iron Bull nodded in agreement, shielding the red apricot with his body, and walked around the edges of the scattered bones.

Poplar was hesitant in his heart, and walked forward again, Poplar stopped and said, "Are we in the direction of going down the mountain......?" It's like going up a mountain?"

Anyone who has ever climbed a mountain knows that when you look at a big mountain and want to climb it from the bottom of the mountain, you don't necessarily have to climb it up, and you often need to go up and down the mountain in order to find a soothing path.

It's just that there are more times to climb up and less time to go down.

If it's when you're going down, it's the other way around.

So much so that Tie Niu and Hongxing, who were walking in front of Baiyang, didn't realize that they were going up the mountain at all, until Baiyang said that, the two of them stopped in amazement, looked up ahead, and the two of them said "ah" in unison.

"What's the matter, we are obviously going down the mountain, when did we turn our heads and climb up?" Hong Xing blurted out.

"I definitely didn't turn around, I'm afraid it's a fork in the road!" Tie Niu said, looking back and forth, "I thought it was strange just now, when we went up the mountain before, we obviously didn't see the pile of bones!"

Poplar felt that it would not be as simple as just taking a fork in the road, but he was horrified in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but said: "This is indeed not the road we used to go up the mountain before, since we have taken a fork in the road, let's go back and walk again!"

He turned back first and headed in the direction of the descent, looking up as he went, making sure that there was no mountain in front of him blocking his view.

Until you descend a steep slope, a mountain beam appears in front of you, and if you want to continue walking, you must first climb this mountain beam.

Poplar felt something was wrong again and couldn't help but stop.

Tie Niu Hongxing, who was following behind him, stopped, and Tie Niu said: "Lao Bai, we seem to have gone wrong again, what about the pile of human bones?

Poplar exhaled and looked back behind him, but there was also a steep slope behind him—

In other words, they are now in a valley between a steep slope and a mountain beam, and they can't see far from front to back.

Poplar can only climb the mountain beam in front of him without walking in one go.

The red apricot iron bull followed, and when all three of them climbed the mountain beam, they couldn't help but look at each other in silence.

Where is the mountain beam in front of them, it is actually the mountain nest they thought there was a big tomb before.

They had just climbed up from the lower right side of the mountain nest.

But they were obviously going down the mountain, and they were indeed going downhill and uphill less, how could they walk around for more than an hour, and actually returned to the high place inexplicably?

"What's going on? We've been going down the mountain, how did we come back?"

The Iron Ox walked around the edge of the nest, asking questions as he spoke.

It's just a pity that no one can answer him.

Hongxing's face turned pale, and even Baiyang was frightened by this unbelievable thing, so that his heart turned over and over, and he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

By this time, the sun had set, and the afterglow of the sunset reflected the sky in a bright red.

Tie Niu looked back at Hongxing, immediately walked over and grabbed one of her hands, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be afraid, there are me and Lao Bai!"

Hongxing glanced at him, but did not immediately break free from his grasp, but asked him pitifully: "It can't be...... Did you encounter the legendary ghost hitting the wall?"

"What do you say, old white?" Iron Bull immediately threw the question to Poplar.

Poplar was also full of horror, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but he had personally encountered the "blood wolf guarding the tomb" before, and the concept of godlessness had been discounted in his heart.

Especially when he just went down the mountain, it was obviously impossible to turn around and climb up halfway, but he returned to this mountain nest inexplicably, and he couldn't find any other explanation except for "ghosts hitting the wall".

And strange things like "ghosts hitting the wall" are difficult to encounter even inverted fighters, and Poplar's grandfather, Old Man Bai, has never told a similar story to Poplar.

There is no similar record in Old Man Bai's notebook.

But Bai Yang could only take a breath to keep his composure, and said: "I'm afraid we have encountered something that the four inverted fighters encountered before, we can't panic at this time, since this thing won't let us go, then we just won't leave, stay here tonight, and wait until the sun rises tomorrow!"

"But...... What about Uncle Xu? Could it be that Uncle Xu has been ...... What killed her?" said Hongxing, her eyes were red, and she was almost about to cry.

"This ...... I can't be sure!" Bai Yang said truthfully, "but I think it's more likely that Uncle Xu saw something terrible, so ...... Ran away with the donkey!"

Hongxing was stunned for a while, but took another breath and forcibly held back her tears.

"What if...... Uncle Xu can escape, why can't we leave?" she asked again.

"This ...... I don't know!" Poplar shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's nothing to spend a night here, I think it's pretty new and exciting, but the question is...... If there's something terrible, how are we going to deal with it all night?" said Iron Bull.

"Who do you ask me, I haven't encountered anything like this!" said Poplar, glancing at Hongxing, and added, "Anyway, we can't panic now! It's going to get dark soon, let's hurry up and make a fire, whether it's a ghost or a beast, we're afraid of fire, and we both take turns on duty at night, so we have to get through this night!"

"Not bad!" Tie Niu immediately straightened his chest, "Hongxing, don't worry, with me and Lao Bai taking turns to be on duty at night, you can just sleep peacefully!"

Hongxing still couldn't put it aside in her heart, but now she couldn't think about it, so she could only take a breath to calm herself down and say, "Then hurry up and light the fire!"

The three of them didn't say much, and immediately went to the surrounding area to collect firewood and grass.

But at this moment, it was about to be dark, and the three of them did not dare to separate, so they could only pick up some dry branches on the hillside, and Hongxing tried to raise the fire.

Poplar and Tie Niu were afraid that there would not be enough firewood and grass to burn, and when the red apricot was making a fire, the two of them were still looking for dry firewood around.

But before the fire was lit, a buzzing sound faintly reached Hongxing's ears.

Hongxing was frightened, raised her head suddenly, looked around, and shouted to the poplar and the iron bull not far away: "You two come here!

Poplar and Tie Niu didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly ran over with the dry firewood branches they had just picked up.

"What's wrong?" Iron Bull asked.

"Don't talk, listen carefully!" said Hongxing.

Poplar and Iron Bull immediately listened attentively, and soon, Iron Bull said, "Someone is crying, and it's a woman!"

He was about to walk in the direction where the voice came from, but Hongxing was so frightened that she grabbed him and said, "Why are you going?"

"Since there is a woman crying, of course I have to go and see it!" said Tie Niu.

"You don't want to think about it, how can a woman cry in this barren mountain and wilderness......, and it's all dark? It's something weird that made us walk back before and deliberately seduces us!"

Tie Niu looked at Poplar, who nodded and said, "What the Red Girl said is very reasonable!"

"But what if it's really a woman crying? For example, a woman in the mountains has fallen and can't walk, if we don't go to see it, won't we see death and not save her?" said Tie Niu.

Bai Yang felt that what he said was not completely impossible, so he could only be lucky and shouted, "Who is crying? Can you tell us who you are?"

As soon as he screamed, Iron Bull also tore his throat and screamed a few times.

The voices of the two echoed among the mountains, and in this silent night of the mountains and forests, it was even more wistful.

"Don't scream, it's goosebumps all over your body!"

Although she knows a lot about the inverted bucket, she has never seen something terrible like a big dumpling with her own eyes.

Not to mention this kind of strange thing that has not yet entered the tomb, but is already happening, she has never even heard of it.

So her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Tie Niu listened carefully, and his face showed a look of shock, and he said, "That cry is gone!"

"I've said it all, it's impossible for a woman to cry in this barren mountain and wilderness!" Hongxing said.

"Then let's ignore her, make a fire and sit down and rest!" said Poplar.

"I'm afraid that this little bit of firewood won't last more than a night!" said Tie Niu.

"Then you will accompany the red girl to light the fire first, and I'll pick up some of them!" said Poplar.

"Don't go too far, beware...... I can't go back!" said Hongxing.

"I know, I'm within a dozen meters below. ”

Poplar said as he saw that it was already pitch black, so he could only find a flashlight from his backpack and light it up, and touched his pocket with his hand to make sure that the glutinous rice and a small salt bag were in his trouser pocket, and then he walked out of the flat mountain nest and went down to a forest to collect dry firewood.

Tie Niu didn't worry about him, and he didn't dare to go too far from the red apricot, so he could only stand at the edge of the mountain nest and look at the poplar from a distance.

Poplar has been a forest ranger for five years, and it is not uncommon for him to go in and out of the woods at night, but only this time he was tense and picked up a small bundle of dry firewood, and was ready to go back.

Unexpectedly, another cry reached the ears of the poplars.
