Chapter 905: Silence
The boss was full of excitement, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look at the place where the voice came from. But there was nothing to see in front of him except a vast white mist.
Fang Cai's voice, the boss is very sure, it must be the voice of the people brought by his subordinates.
After a scream, the air suddenly fell silent, so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly. If it weren't for the person in charge who listened carefully, he would have suspected that all this was just an illusion, and that nothing had actually happened.
The boss listened carefully for a while, but he couldn't hear anything around except the wind. It seems that everything has precipitated, could it be that the scream just now is actually his own auditory hallucination?
Originally, he was very sure of what was going on, but after a while, he was a little unsure.
"Little Five?"
He thought for a moment and tried to call at the white mist in front of him.
Fang Cai's scream was relatively thin, it should have been from Xiao Wu in his team, although Xiao Wu was a strong man of one foot eight, but his voice was much thinner than that of ordinary men. It's because the boss can recognize it so quickly. If it weren't for that, he wondered if the voice was coming from his own.
But in this place where the sky is white, empty and precipitous, how can there be anyone else besides them?
The person in charge didn't believe that there would be anyone else here.
Could it be, what amazing monster is hidden inside?
Thinking of this, his pupils dilated slightly, and he subconsciously stood up from the stone, not as calm as at first. After he finished shouting Xiao Wu, no one answered for a long time.
Did Xiao Wu have an accident, or did all these people under him go far away and didn't hear his voice?
But these people's martial arts are not a problem, and their ear power is already more powerful than ordinary people, so how can they not hear his voice?
The head of the matter believes that the latter is more likely, and he does not believe that these strong men with strong martial arts will not be able to hear their own shouts.
Could it be ...... Did Xiao Wu really have an accident?
The heart of the person in charge was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted again.
"Little Five—is that you?"
There was no one around, and the wind whistled by, as if to laugh at the ignorance and stupidity of the master.
Blown by this wind, the boss suddenly felt that he was a little unstable.
This feeling that he was the only one left between heaven and earth really made him feel a little panicked.
Where did all these people go? Could it be that there is another heaven and earth behind this white mist, and they all ran over, so they didn't hear their own voices?
But Xiao Wu's screams are so real, it stands to reason that Xiao Wu is acting with other people, why did he only hear Xiao Wu's voice and no other people's voices?
In charge of a heart, up and down, there are also cranky thoughts in his mind.
He didn't think there was anything, but it was loud, faint, and bursting, like a demon singing. In the vast white fog, nothing can be seen clearly, and no one knows what will rush out in the next second.
Thinking of this, his legs were a little weaker.
I've never heard the prefect say anything about the danger here. Didn't Mrs. Pei say that this is just a dangerous terrain? Could it be that there are still some monsters hidden in this town?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible, after all, not many people knew about this place, not to mention that just coming in, it would take a lot of effort to find the way, if there was no map given by Mrs. Pei, I am afraid that they might not be able to walk in so quickly and smoothly.
There are so many jade stones hidden in it, and it seems unlikely that they could be easily carried out. If there really are some beasts living here, so no one has come, so it makes sense.
Thinking of this, the person in charge felt a little more at ease. If nothing else, people are always afraid because of the unknown, and figuring out what the source of fear is, makes people's hearts feel more relaxed.
If it is a fierce beast, it is not impossible to suddenly attack people in this white mist.
At least in this way, except for Xiao Wu, the others are probably not injured, right?
Otherwise, how could there be no sound at all?
The boss listened carefully for a while, but found that he still couldn't hear anything. He simply sat down again, it's useless to be anxious now, his martial arts are average, and he can only be sent to death if he goes in.
God is pitiful, he has worked hard for the prefect for so many years, he is a pity for his life, and he will never let himself lose his life easily. As for the men under them, if they bring out the stone in peace, they will be very happy. But if something happens in the meantime, it is also their fate, and he can't help it.
Thinking of this, the head couldn't help but sigh, and the corners of his mouth had a hint of mockery.
Before, he still pretended to condemn the prefect in his heart, but who would have thought that he had followed the prefect for so many years and gradually became a man like the prefect?
Thinking about it like this, those thoughts I had at the beginning are really ridiculous.
Obviously, he looks at other people's lives, and the same is true, what position does he have to run to condemn the prefect?
It seems that things gather like and people are grouped, and this is not unreasonable.
In the face of people who are lower than their own status, in fact, in their own eyes, what is the difference between them and ants? If you can't do things for him, it's not surprising that you will end up like this. What's even more terrifying is that he never felt that there was anything wrong with it.
In his eyes, aren't these subordinates cultivated to help the prefect? Originally, they were just tool people.
So in the eyes of the person in charge, it is not surprising to die a little five, to die a little six. The terrain of this place is already dangerous, and it is not surprising that there is a little accident.
The important thing is that they can move the stones out, transport them back safely, and finish the work for the prefect, and that is enough. Nothing else, it's not that important.
Coming out to do things comes with a certain amount of risk. The world is unpredictable, who knows what will happen?
The person in charge sat on the stone, looking at the vast white mist in front of him, there was not the slightest emotion in his eyes, the previous panic had long disappeared, replaced by calm. Or rather, apathy.
If he has to worry about everyone's life and death, then he will be a good man in the end. It's a pity that he is not such a person. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to stay by the prefect's side for so long.
The head thought to himself, even if there was really a fierce beast inside, he brought so many people, could it be that so many people could not defeat a fierce beast? While injuries are inevitable, at the end of the day, it will still be a good outcome. The person in charge is still very confident in the skills of the people under him.
Therefore, when he figured out this layer, he sat down on the stone and waited. Anyway, at this moment, it's useless to be anxious, and now he can only hope that his subordinates can come out safe and sound, and Xiao Wu doesn't have anything too big.
After all, to retrain a group of killers is a time-consuming, energy-consuming, and money-consuming thing. Neither the prefect nor he wanted to see such a scene.
If he hadn't known about this, he wouldn't have brought so many people with him. Now it seems that this place is still hidden dangerous, and it should not be careless.
The boss looked around, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and at the same time secretly clenched a dagger in his hand.
If there was a sudden beast around him at this time, he would react immediately and be able to protect himself.
Although he doesn't know why, he feels like this in his heart, but in this vast world, when only the wind is left to coexist with him, it does make people feel a little uneasy in their hearts.
But the boss tried his best to suppress this feeling, and he didn't want to think about it too deliberately. After all, this feeling didn't make him feel good at all.
This feeling is the only one left in the world, and the unknown dangerous emotions that no one wants to experience, no matter who else it is.
Although the person in charge has experienced ups and downs, this environment does make him a little nervous. Now, he can only relieve this emotion by diverting his attention.
The wind continued, but there was still no sound inside.
And so he sat down on the stone, and half an hour passed.
Although it was only half an hour, it seemed like a century had passed for him.
It stands to reason that so much time has passed, and no matter how powerful Rao is, he should have been put down, right? After all, the group of people under him, in addition to their skills, also carry a lot of drugs on their bodies, and they can sprinkle poison or anything. This beast is just a beast, is it possible, can it resist the poison that has been carefully developed?
It's been more than half an hour, why hasn't there been any movement at all?
The boss was suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but beat the drums, but he was the only one at the moment, and it was impossible to leave like this. At least let's see what's going on inside, right?
At this time, there was a trace of regret in the palm of his heart. He shouldn't have let all these people go in and move stones, and if he left one person beside him, it would be nice to have someone to take care of.
But now, there is no other way.
He tentatively shouted again: "Little Wu, are you here?" ”
The boss added a little internal force, so that the voice spread far away.
But in the air, apart from the sound of the wind, and the slightest echo that he had heard from afar, the other movements were not heard by the master.
He stood up, looked at the white mist, hesitated for a moment, clenched the dagger in his hand, gritted his teeth, and finally decided to go in and find out.
If he didn't know what the situation was, he left rashly, and after he returned, how would he explain it to the prefect?
Thinking of this, the boss swallowed a mouthful of saliva, plucked up his courage, and stepped into the white mist.
