Chapter 461: The Land Stained Red with Blood
At night, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and Qin Yu offered the prey he had killed, and invited everyone to have a barbecue, while keeping the fur for himself.
The Senate arranged three teams to take turns to keep vigil, as a guest, Qin Yu was not arranged to keep vigil, but he slept until three o'clock in the morning, he took the initiative to help keep vigil, and coincidentally, Zhao Qingqing happened to be in this vigil team.
Thinking of the scene that happened during the day, she was still a little flustered, and then she remembered that she had never thanked Qin Yu until now.
As the eldest lady of the Zhao family, the head of the nine hidden families, although she is not like Qian Yao, she is not like Qian Yao, but she is also very proud in her heart, and there are very few people who can let her take the initiative to thank her on weekdays, but she understands that if it wasn't for Qin Yu yesterday, it is estimated that she is no longer in the world now.
"Qin Yu, thank you for coming to the rescue during the day, I owe you my life." Zhao Qingqing pretended to be very natural.
"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Qin Yu shrugged, looked very indifferent, and said: "Our previous trip was too smooth, and we haven't encountered any danger all the way here, but this doesn't mean that we can always be safe, and yesterday's incident is a good warning." ”
Zhao Qingqing nodded, yesterday was the closest she was to death, and with this experience, she seemed to have matured a lot.
"Do you say that there is really a secret of immortality in this world?" Zhao Qingqing asked in a skeptical tone, grabbed a piece of wood in her hand and threw it into the fire.
"Do you believe me when I say it exists?" Qin Yu smiled, the firelight shining on his face, feeling warm.
His answer made Zhao Qingqing a little surprised, in her opinion, Qin Yu should be an atheist, how could she believe in this kind of legend? If the secret of immortality really exists, doesn't it mean that those ancient myths of Kunlun Mountain may also be true?!
"This world is too amazing, and it is too mysterious, and many things are beyond the scope of what people can understand now, and if they can't understand it, they can't say that they don't exist." Qin Yu stretched out his hands close to the fire, dispelled the cold aura on his body and said with a smile: "I'm not sure if I can live forever in this world now, but there should have been people in ancient times who did this, such as those powerful people of Taoism." ”
Qin Yu didn't say who it was, he couldn't say that he had seen Yuan Tiangang in the Earth Immortal Realm, he even suspected that when Song Taizu discovered the secret of immortality, he had already taken advantage of this to soar, and the so-called violent death was just an illusion.
The night was spent in danger, the Kunlun Mountains at night were much more dangerous than during the day, some wild beasts noticed the fire on this side of the camp, and were attracted to it, perhaps because they were afraid that there were too many people to attack, but just looked away from a few distances and walked away.
After yesterday's exploration, in the early morning of the next day, everyone's marching speed was significantly accelerated, and a few small flags planted by Zhao Tianheng were destroyed, and most of them were recovered by him for the next exploration.
After seeing the dangers of this place, a group of young people honestly settled down a lot, and they put away the mentality of tourism.
Along the way, except for a few beasts that didn't have long eyes came out to block the way, there was no big danger, and those beasts all paid the price for their lack of eyes and became the ingredients for everyone's lunch.
At noon, everyone found a relatively flat place to rest simply, and the head of the Zhao family took out the map and looked at it for a while, and said: "According to our travel speed, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the location indicated on the map in two more days." ”
"Two days?"
Zhao Qingqing and the others all had a sense of joy haunting their hearts when they heard this, it was too boring to keep walking in the vast snowy mountains, and they had to be frightened, always beware of where wild beasts came out and pounced on them, they really didn't want to last too long in such a hard life.
"Well, at first I thought it would be a good trip, but now I know how wrong it was, and the only consolation is that your game barbecue is good." Zhao Qingqing sat in front of the fire, eating the barbecue made by Qin Yu and sighed.
She was eating roast snake meat, and a nearly one-meter-long snake on the side of the road suddenly attacked Qin Yu, but he stuck a fork in seven inches, and after cleaning it up, it was directly made into a cumin roasted snake.
Originally, Zhao Qingqing didn't dare to eat a creature like a snake, but when she smelled the tempting fragrance, she couldn't hold back in the end.
This time they came lightly, and the food they brought was mainly bread, compressed biscuits, etc., and there were almost no meat dishes, so the game on the mountain became a sought-after food, Zhao Qingqing just tried a bite of roast snake meat and liked it, and killed two large skewers by himself.
Seeing their good group of people eating barbecue by the fire, Qian Yao was envious, the little bagged jerky he brought had already been eaten, and now he could only nibble on bread on the side.
After lunch, resting in place for an hour, everyone set off again and rushed to their destination.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was gradually setting in the west, Old Man Zhao suggested finding an open place to set up camp, and luckily, they soon found a suitable place.
However, when everyone began to set up the tent, Qin Yu sniffled and smelled a very faint smell of blood, although the smell was already very light, he still smelled it.
This is thanks to eating Tianting takeout for a long time, which makes his facial senses much more sensitive than ordinary people.
"Qin Yu, why don't you set up a tent yet, do you want to sleep in the open air tonight?" Xi Xiaoying walked over and asked.
"Do you smell a particular smell?" Qin Yu turned around and asked.
Xi Xiaoying frowned, tried to take a deep breath, shook her head and said, "It's nothing special, the air is very fresh, and there is a faint fragrance unique to plants and trees." ”
"You...... Didn't you notice that there was a smell of blood here? Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, his gaze scanning the ground.
"The smell of blood?" Xi Xiaoying's eyes widened, and she immediately laughed and said, "Where is there any smell of blood, don't scare yourself." ”
But soon she couldn't laugh, because Qin Yu stretched out his foot to sweep away a layer of snow on the ground, and the snow underneath turned out to be red, and the smell of blood spread all around.
"This ...... What's going on?! Xi Xiaoying was startled, hurriedly took two steps back, and swept away some of the snow under her feet, and part of the snow under her was also stained red by blood droplets.
Hearing her exclamation, several old people immediately gathered around, and when they saw the blood-stained snow, their expressions instantly became much more solemn.
"Quick, sweep away all the snow on it!" Old man Zhao immediately beckoned people to do it together.
In a short time, the snow on the surface was swept aside, and more than 30 percent of the entire clearing was red, which stunned everyone.
"These ...... It can't be all human blood, right? Qian Yao muttered in a low voice.
"Shut your crow's mouth, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" Xi Xiaoying glared at him fiercely, then turned to Qin Yu and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Qin Yu's expression was also extremely solemn, his brows furrowed tightly, and he thought for a while before he spoke: "Whether it is human blood or beast blood, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. ”
"Have you ever heard of the Kunlun Mountain Death Valley? It is called the Gate of Hell, a very evil place, it is said that there are some huge beasts that infest, and the living cannot get out if they enter it, could it be that the fierce beasts there fought a big battle here? Zhao Qingqing said in a low voice.
"The Gates of Hell?"
Qin Yu muttered, he had seen the relevant news when he was checking the information of Kunlun Mountain, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and it was far away from their destination, so it shouldn't have anything to do with it.
At this time, Zhao Tianheng's voice came from not far away: "Come here, everyone!" ”
When everyone heard the sound, they rushed over and saw a severed arm buried in the snow, revealing five fingers, and several girls immediately turned around and retched just by looking at it.
Relatively speaking, Xi Xiaoying's psychological quality is very good, she has seen a lot of bloody scenes, and she can barely maintain her composure.
Qin Yu endured his nausea, picked out the broken arm with a wooden stick, and the head of the Xi family leaned over to look at it twice, and said, "Look at the wound, it is likely to have been bitten off by some kind of beast, and the time was about two days ago, and it will not be more than three days." ”
"In this way, maybe someone was like us, camped here, and was attacked by fierce beasts, so you can imagine that the battle scene was very tragic at that time." Zhao Tianheng analyzed.
The faces of those present turned pale, the blood stained large areas of the land red, and I don't know how many people died, and those people had probably become the snack of the beast!
