Immortal Mystery Chapter 23 Waterhole
We walked forward as we talked, and because the mountain road was not easy to walk, we only walked about ten miles in half a day. At this time, we encountered another problem, that is, our guide Peng Lian refused to move forward.
"It's not that I don't want to lead the way, it's that we have agreed before, I will only take you into the ten miles of the mountain, and you will leave the rest on your own." Peng Lian said.
"In this way, we pay more, and you take us to the place." Uncle Xu persuaded Peng Lian.
"It's not that I don't do it, who doesn't want to make more money? The point is that I don't dare to go any further, and I haven't been. To be honest, if I go any further, I'm just like you, and I'm a big girl in a sedan chair - the first time. Since it's the first time, it's the same with me or not. ”
Seeing that Peng Lian said that he would not continue to move forward, Uncle Xu had no choice, and he couldn't force him to continue to be with us, and what he said did make sense. He hadn't been there before, so he couldn't play the role of a guide, and it was no different with him or not.
After Peng Lian left the group, we continued to march deeper into the mountain. We didn't have to go far before we realized that this place was very different from before. In addition to the fog is thicker, the shape of the mountain rocks has also become more steep and weird, plus there are barren mountains and mountains everywhere, and there is no vegetation, giving people the feeling of walking into the demon mountain.
The silence was eeri, not even birdsong, and nothing could be heard except for the sounds of us alien creatures. Gradually, the bones of some animals began to appear on the side of the road, mostly dogs, cows, sheep, and presumably those domestic animals that had been lost from nearby villages. Although we haven't seen human bones yet, the bones of these animals in front of us make our backs chill. Obviously, those legends about the Hidden Fog Mountain are not all false rumors and groundless.
"Mr. Xu, the GPS system signal is lost!" Cao Fenghua came up and reported.
Uncle Xu nodded, took out his mobile phone, and found that there was no signal. Of course, we had anticipated this before we came in, so there was nothing to panic about. In order to prevent getting lost, we left markers along the way to prevent accidents.
We walked about a kilometer further and found the carcass of an animal that had not completely decomposed. It was a cow, and it looked like it had been dead for some days. Cao Fenghua took the people, endured the stench emitted by the corpse, and simply examined the corpse of the cow, and found that there were no injuries on the cow's body, but seeing the mountain of animal corpses, of course, it would not be a natural death.
"There is no equipment here to test the carcass of a cow, otherwise it would be possible to see if it was poisoned." Cao Fenghua said.
"Poisoned? Could it be that these animals were poisoned by inhaling the mist? The jar cried.
I interrupted him and said, "We've been in for so long, and if the fog is poisonous, we should at least react by now." But now we are all like no one else, so it can be seen that the death of these animals has nothing to do with the fog. ”
"Didn't you say that people haven't gone out since they entered this Hidden Fog Mountain? But why can't you see the bodies of those people? Jiang Jie asked a little strangely. But no one could answer her question. However, it is indeed true that those who entered the Hidden Fog Mountain never went out again.
"It seems that this Hidden Fog Mountain is really not simple, and it hides a lot of secrets that no one knows......" Professor Jin said.
"The more mysterious it is, the more careful we have to be." Uncle Xu said with a gloomy face. He had thought that this operation would definitely be difficult, but what he didn't expect was that it would be such an environment. Difficulties, he is not afraid, what is really frightening is the unknown, the unknown environment, the unknown ahead, the unknown goal.
After walking on, it didn't take long for us to finally see the bones of scattered people in the mountains, which should be the remains of people who had been lost in the mountains before. Looking at these corpses, we shuddered, if this Hidden Fog Mountain is really the same as the legend, we can enter or not get out, sooner or later we will become like these people, buried in this Hidden Fog Mountain.
Although this Hidden Fog Mountain is only a few dozen kilometers long, the area covered by the mountain is not small, and it is difficult to find a palace in such a large area, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain anything in a short time.
After that, we walked in the mountains for two days in succession, and we had gone deep into the heart of the mountains, and searched everywhere in the mountains all day, but there were no new discoveries except the bones of animals everywhere.
Later that evening, we set up camp in a place in the mountains. While inspecting the surroundings of the camp, it was discovered that there was a waterhole in the valley behind the mountain.
This makes us very happy. For the past two days, I have eaten the food that I brought with me, such as biscuits and instant noodles, and if I could have some fresh fish, it would definitely be very good. So, Cao Fenghua sent three people to get fish, and the rest set up tents in the camp.
Cao Fenghua and the others took the lead in setting up the tent, and then lit a fire to boil water, preparing to bring the fish back and cook it. The fuel used for ignition is our own alcohol. There are no trees in the mountains, so there is no firewood to use to make a fire.
"I think it's better to grill fish!" The jar looked at the water in the vessel and said.
"Isn't it okay to drink soup when you boil fish?" Professor Jin said.
Tanzi turned his head to Cao Fenghua and said, "But I really didn't expect that you still have a pot with you?" ”
Cao Fenghua smiled: "I also carried the pot when I marched in the past, and I will always use it with it." ”
Tanzi laughed and said, "It seems that you are the legendary person who often carries the blame." ”
"Do you think there will be fish in that water?" Tanzi then asked, "There are animal bones everywhere along the way, but can there be fish in the water?" I'm skeptical. ”
"You don't have to doubt it! Just now, Captain Cao and I also went to the waterhole to see that there were indeed fish in it. I said to the jar, "Just wait here and eat the fish." ”
As we were talking, we suddenly heard a loud muffled noise in the valley behind us. The source of the sound seems to be from the waterhole.
We hurriedly ran to the waterhole, and Cao Fenghua and the others first returned to the tent to get their rifles, and followed us to the waterhole.
Before we reached the edge of the pool, we saw the three people who were fishing for fish lying on the shore of the pool, motionless, and their lives and deaths were unknown. This time, we were even more anxious, and we were about to rush over, but we were stopped by Cao Fenghua.
