Chapter 17: The Scarecrow Who Stands in the Way

Thump......

Chasing the child and jumping into the ancient well, he felt the cold well water, and the faint light of the moonlight into the water.

He found that the water in the well was not too deep, at most three meters.

As he had guessed, there was something else to the well.

Because at the bottom of the well, there is a hole with a two-meter high diagonal upward slope.

Judging from this cave, the people of Yunlan Village suddenly disappeared, probably leaving from here.

Along the entrance of the cave and into the song, there is another creation inside, not only the stairs are built, but also the animal oil lamp is illuminated.

Moreover, the design of the cave is also just right, diagonally up a few meters to get rid of the well water inflow, and then steep down to the bottom of the mountain.

Such a generous stroke, and judging by the traces left by the passage.

Obviously, this is a layout that has been planned for decades.

Seeing this, a chill couldn't help but rise in Lige's heart.

However, he still followed the child who had escaped and chased after him.

He didn't know what was inside the passage, and he didn't know what was out of it.

All he could do was try to keep up with the kid who was running away, or catch him.

Only then can he guarantee his safety.

Otherwise, after being distanced by the child, the other party will set a trap or call someone to ambush him.

At that time, the only thing that awaits him is death?

......

Little Azhuo ran forward as hard as he could, and he noticed that the catcher behind him was getting closer and closer to him.

If he is caught again by the other party, he can imagine what the end will be.

But compared to his own end, he knows better, and what he knows must not be known by the other party.

Otherwise, the whole village will be doomed.

That's why he ran away at the risk of his life.

As long as you don't fall into the hands of the government alive, death is actually nothing.

Of course, if you can escape, bring back the news that the government has discovered the secret of the ancient well.

Maybe he'll get a reward?

Thinking of this, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

The speed of the escape couldn't help but speed up by another three points.

He knew that as long as he ran out of this passage, he reached the reckless jungle at the bottom of the mountain.

Even if the other party is an extraordinary person, he can only be helpless at that time.

You may even die in the jungle.

You know, the jungle at the bottom of the mountain spreads to the north of the North Mountain.

Not to mention the wolves, tigers and leopards in it, just those mysterious lives.

Even their grown-up was terrified, let alone the one chasing after him.

Of course, most of these things won't hurt him.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to return to the village.

As for the reason, it may have something to do with the talisman on his body.

Lige's two scabbard-like eyebrows were wrinkled so badly for the first time.

Chasing all the way down from the hole in the well, it looks like he is about to catch the child who escaped.

But just as he was out of the passage at the bottom of the mountain, the boy suddenly plunged headlong into the jungle.

And then it was gone.

Under the moonlight, hesitating in the jungle to leave the song.

Looking up at the endless trees, he hesitated to chase any further.

He didn't expect that the passage in the well was actually connected to the jungle to the north.

Originally, I thought that the passage in the well was dug in the belly of the mountain at most, and the people of Yunlan Village hid in it.

Now it seems that things are far more complicated than he thought.

I knew it earlier, so I directly solved the child.

Hesitating in the jungle to leave the song, I couldn't help but regret thinking in my heart.

But it's useless to think about it now, thinking about whether to go deep into the jungle and chase down.

After thinking quietly for dozens of seconds, I thought about the danger and the importance of this matter.

In the end, Lige decided to chase down.

The stakes are high at this time.

There is another one, Nanxu's disappearance, which may be because of this incident.

So after taking a deep breath, Lige didn't hesitate, and went directly into the reckless jungle.

......

Oh~~~

Roar~

Wolf cries and tiger howls rang out in the forest.

Lige didn't care about these under the moonlight, and ordinary talented wolves, tigers and leopards couldn't hurt him.

At this time, he was judging the child's escape route by the moonlight, from the grass that had been stepped on the ground and the broken branches.

Judging from the direction of the grass that was stepped on and the broken branches, the child fled due north.

So following such traces, Lige chased all the way north.

It's just that the farther north you go, the taller and more lush the trees in the jungle.

I could have been able to discern the direction by the moonlight, but as the trees appeared, the forest suddenly became pitch black.

Fortunately, Lige carries the fire fold with him.

Tear off a strip of cloth from his body and wrap it in some resin, simply make a torch, and continue to chase after the song.

Call......

The wind is blowing.

The torches flickered and flashed.

Walking in the woods, the song is cautious with a touch of concentration.

Before I knew it, I came to a canyon, and then the tall and lush trees were gone.

Suddenly, a rice field appeared in front of me.

Cloudless night.

The bright moon hung high for half a day.

A rice field under the moon, swaying in the wind.

Dozens of scarecrows, dressed in rags, stood guard in it.

The torch extinguished from the song came to the rice field.

Leaning over to look at the wheat that had been stepped on, I noticed fresh footprints in the field.

Judging by the size, it was the child who ran away who left behind.

This shows that he is not chasing the wrong direction.

However, what puzzled him was that an ordinary child could actually shuttle freely in the jungle north of Beishan.

You must know that along the way, there are green eyes flashing in the forest from time to time.

If it weren't for the extraordinary power he exuded to deter, those talented wolves, tigers and leopards would have rushed out to kill him.

Even so, there is a hungry gray wolf who is not afraid of the deterrence of his extraordinary powers.

Rushed out of the woods and pounced on him.

Although in the end, the hungry wolf was cut in half by him, but for an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

If you do, you'll be buried in the wolf's belly.

But judging from the current situation, the other party is obviously safe, which makes Lige a little puzzled.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, it was about one o'clock in the evening.

His gaze was retracted, and he looked at the swaying rice fields under the moonlight.

Lige walked in with his legs raised.

However, just as his footsteps landed in the rice fields, a danger suddenly rose in his heart.

Then a strong wind slid across the left side of his face.

Then he saw those scarecrows in the rice field rising from the ground and attacking him one after another.

Seeing this situation, Lige's eyes changed slightly.

As he stepped back, he drew a long knife from his waist with his right hand and slashed at the scarecrow that struck him.

"Poof......

The sound of a knife slicing into something was heard.

When I looked up, I saw a scarecrow split in half.

However, the next scene made Lige tremble in his heart.

Because the scarecrows that were split in half suddenly each grew half of their bodies and became two scarecrows.
