The time was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Xiaoman was standing by a small river, looking at the scene full of dense fog in front of him, frowning and contemplating.

"Something is wrong...... It's so wrong......" he muttered to himself.

The scene in front of me was very eerie, with a gray mist hanging in front of us, but the rest of the surrounding area was not visible. If you want to talk about fog, you can't just have a small piece in front of it.

"It seems that there may be something strange here."

Zhang Xiaoman cheered up and slowly moved forward along the river. But it's more of a ditch than a river. The width is only three meters, and the depth of the water is only half a meter, so you can see the silt at the bottom at a glance.

This is a township located south of the city, and it is one of the three places where Li Xiang sent him yesterday that there was a strange incident. Someone from the local villagers once commented on the Internet that the place was full of fog, and under a small bridge, they could often hear the terrible howls.

Zhang Xiaoman originally had the attitude of giving it a try and asked the other party to help him collect intelligence. But to his surprise, the first place he had just set out to explore seemed to be rewarding.

Looking around, there was no one else, Zhang Xiaoman activated the skill of the sand soldier to appear, summoned two heavily armed sand soldiers from the soil, pulled the hood and mask, and then stepped closer to the thick fog.

"It smells so bad!" As soon as Zhang Xiaoman entered, he smelled a strong stench, as if it was a rotting quagmire containing corpses, which made people almost sick.

When this stench was outside the fog just now, it was only faint and unreal, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting when I came in. Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help frowning, and secretly thought to himself, wait a minute, no matter what kind of monster it is, just because it dares to put such a stinky "fart", he will beat it to death.

Reaching into his pocket and taking out the thermal imager he bought, Zhang Xiaoman opened it and looked outside through the observation port. However, to his surprise, all he saw was a snowflake, and the instrument seemed to be malfunctioning.

"What's going on? I was fine when I tested it before I came. Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled, he looked at the thermal imager back and forth, and restarted it several times, but there was still no change.

took out his mobile phone again and looked at it, Zhang Xiaoman was surprised to find that even the mobile phone had no image. After thinking for a moment, a somewhat surprising conjecture suddenly popped up in his heart.

"Do you mean...... Is this fog the cause!? ”

Zhang Xiaoman thought of this, and took a few steps back to leave the range of the fog. When he looked at the phone screen again, he saw that the image that had disappeared had reappeared, and the thermal imager had returned to normal.

"This fog can even interfere with the operation of electronic devices!" Zhang Xiaoman was really a little surprised this time, if you want to ask what kind of weapons human beings can hold in the face of these strange things, it is undoubtedly the power brought by high technology. But if you can't use it, it's hard to imagine what will happen to humans when they encounter monsters in the future.

The emergence of this idea made Zhang Xiaoman shudder. However, he knew that now was not the time to explore the question, and he did not hesitate to re-enter the mist.

Without the help of detection equipment, Zhang Xiaoman's field of vision became smaller, and at the same time, considering the possible sneak attack, he had to slow down and slowly explore along this small ditch.

Ordering one sand soldier to open the way in front and the other sand soldier to protect his side, Zhang Xiaoman's muscles were tense, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

In this way, after walking a distance of about 500 meters, Zhang Xiaoman finally saw a small bridge that was a little dilapidated, presumably this should be the "bridge with a terrifying howl" mentioned in the intelligence.

The small bridge is very small, spanning this small ditch, and there is a small hole underneath, which can only be passed by two or three people at the same time.

Zhang Xiaoman commanded a sand soldier to climb the bridge, and then took a closer look, but he did not encounter any attacks, nor did he hear the so-called terrifying screams.

He frowned and thought for a while, and then set his eyes under the bridge.

"Maybe there's the weirdness?"

Zhang Xiaoman leaned over and looked there, but he couldn't see anything wrong, and in desperation, he had to take Sha Bing to take a look in person.

The edge of this ditch was a ramp that extended downward, and Zhang Xiaoman carefully descended the ramp to the edge of the bridge.

When he got closer, he felt as if he had heard something, "woo-hoo-woo...... It's like someone crying, and it's like the sound of a window leaking.

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly remembered the story that the sixth master had told him, according to his description, wasn't it the same scene at that time?

When his mind turned, Zhang Xiaoman had already approached the bottom of the bridge. As he got closer, the sound became clearer, and by the time he reached the bottom of the bridge, he could already see what was inside.

There, on one side of the wall of the bridge, there were dark red lines, like hideous blood vessels, and in the middle of those lines, a ball of flesh like a heart was constantly beating, and on top of it there was a small circular opening, from which wisps of mist erupted.

"Found you!" Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

However, at this moment, the strange heart suddenly contracted, and the muscles on the surface squirmed, and it was completely transformed in vain. Zhang Xiaoman looked at it intently, and saw that it was a face that was exactly the same as himself.

Then, when I saw the mouth on the man's face, he immediately let out a terrifying wail, the voice was terrible and harsh, which made people very uncomfortable to hear.

However, although Zhang Xiaoman felt that the sound it made was a little unpleasant, there was no other discomfort. Maybe the screams of this thing are just plain disgusting, or maybe Zhang Xiaoman's current 3 points of mental power resisted its spiritual attack, in short, this weird heart doesn't seem to be particularly terrifying.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered a sand soldier to walk over slowly, intending to end this annoying thing with one shot.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden splash in the ditch on the side, and in the mud, a figure was running quickly in the direction of Zhang Xiaoman.

Zhang Xiaoman was shocked by the sound and immediately looked back.

The next moment, in the midst of the splash, an ugly monster suddenly jumped out of the water, and a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth continued to expand in his field of vision.
