Chapter 451: The sound of footsteps under the mountain
As we continued to move forward, I could feel that there seemed to be movement around us, and there began to be some strange noises in the woods, I didn't know what these were, but I knew that it shouldn't be easy to provoke, and the direction of the sound was easy to identify, it should be at the foot of the mountain ahead, and the closer you got there, the more sounds moved.
I couldn't help but be vigilant, hoping that there would be no more ferocious beasts, and another one, but I really couldn't stand it, but when we came just now, the sound was already there, and since it was there, it meant that this movement was not coming at us, as if something was digging the ground, or drilling somewhere.
Drilling in the middle of the night? What species would be so weird?
In addition, when the wind blew just now, I also smelled the smell of some rancid food, and a sour smell, which was more like the smell of corpses, and I don't know if there were any dead animals here, everything was particularly weird, and this West Island area was really terrifying.
"Bai Lu, when you came here before, did this sound always have this kind of voice in this area? Do you know the animals that make such noises? I asked.
She shook her head and said, "I haven't heard this kind of sound, I haven't seen it, I usually go up from another mountain path, never this way, so I'm going with you tonight." ”
At this time, Yun Wen ran over, although Song Bailu was stunned, but Yun Wen was already frightened, and did not pay attention to this, she hurriedly hid behind me, pointed in horror in the direction where she was running, and said, "Yes, there are ghosts!" ”
Ghosts?
To say that there are indeed a lot of bizarre things on this island, but these demons and monsters are more or less based on a certain degree of dream reality, and their existence has a certain logic, and none of them appear out of thin air, such as ghosts are made of some kind of soot, zombies are caused by viruses, madness and hysteria are caused by some kind of pollen, as for evil witches, evil dragons, goblins, etc., they are also the embodiment of some kind of legend, and there is indeed a certain kind of natural cultivation of heaven and earth, etc., all of which have a certain degree of practicality.
But there are ghosts, which is weird, because this ghost is different in folk terms, the so-called lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, are some things that cannot be verified, it will not exist out of thin air, there must be some possibility, not to say that there is, so I want to see, how does the so-called ghost exist?
Besides, I have a golden sword that will punish evil and retreat, so I don't have to be afraid.
stepped forward to investigate, Bai Lu stayed in place, Yun Wen followed me up, Sanfu also stayed in place, Yun Wen pointed to the right side, and said, "It's this side, I just saw the feet of people." ”
I raised the lit golden sword and shone it up, damn it, it scared me!
It's really a pair of feet, and it's still shaking, I almost fell, Yun Wen also closed her eyes in fright, hugged me tightly, and I also hugged her, thinking in my heart, fortunately, this ghost also made me think about the things of the night to be satisfied, and at this moment I am holding Yun Wen, I should be really open.
But if this ghost senior knew that it not only didn't scare me, but also made me think about my sister, I guess I would be disappointed.
Just a moment later, I found that there was no other movement except for the feet shaking from side to side, and they didn't pounce down, and besides, the Golden Que Sword was hanging in front of it just now, how could it not react at all with such a thing that suppressed evil spirits? As a result, I had doubts, so I raised the golden sword that glowed with golden light again, and only then did I really see the situation clearly.
"It's a man who hanged here." I said.
It turned out that the smell of the corpse just now came from him, I looked at it, it was also some kind of brown-skinned savage, but it looked like he was bigger than the Utu tribe, and I don't know why he was hanged here, and there was a lot of rotten flesh on its body, which was full of holes, presumably because it was eaten by scavengers.
Even if there are no ghosts or anything like that, this island still has a certain logic of reality.
Yun Wen didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly pulled me back, I was still thinking about why the corpse appeared on a lesson tree, when suddenly the corpse fell, and with a bang, I realized that it was a ghost vine, and just when the corpse fell, suddenly there was an endless squirry around, as if some large army was about to attack.
It's not a good kind, and I'm scared!
I raised the Golden Que Sword, intending to deal with the group of demons and monsters that were coming to resist, at this time a pair of big eyes came from that end, I looked closely, and saw a kind of hairless monkey, strange looking, with fangs, just looking at it was enough to take a cold breath, but they were not hostile to us, but dragged away the fallen corpse, dragged away, and took a look at the tall and heroic Sanfu, and then retreated, without breaking up the trouble for us.
There was a false alarm, and we all exhaled together.
"Otherwise, let's wait until tomorrow, the night is too dangerous and terrifying, and I can't stand it." Bai Lu said.
"It's all here, do you think we're going to have to go back? Besides, if there are those cannibals during the day, we will be very dangerous. Yun Wen said eagerly.
"I know that, too, but my guts won't allow me to go on." Bai Lu sat timidly in place.
I was about to say something, but suddenly I thought of something, so I said: "It's okay, why don't you make a fire here, stay with Sanfu first, and Yun Wen and I will go alone, and after picking the demon flower, how about bringing it back to you?" ”
Bai Lu thought for a while, this may also be the best way, besides, now that the middle of the night is almost past, it will only be a few hours before the day, and Sanfu will protect her, and she can't stop us from picking flowers, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here, go early and return early, what if I'm in danger?" ”
"Those monkeys seem to be afraid of the dogs, you should be fine hiding behind the dogs, it's really not possible, you ride the dogs to escape first." I said.
She nodded.
Then she stayed, Yun Wen specially communicated with Sanfu in the language of all things, Yun Wen and I set off for the direction of the foot of the mountain, since the skinless monkey left, the monster's digging sound was gone, but the quiet also made us more afraid, I don't know what terrible risks will be.
However, taking advantage of the fact that there was already a relatively long distance away from Bai Lu, I took Yun Wen's hand, she turned around in surprise, and I said, "She's gone, you don't have to pretend." ”
"Pretending... What's in it? Yun Wen asked weakly.
I stepped forward, hugged her tightly, touched her face with my hand, and said, "I heard your conversation, then Song Bailu plans to dispense medicine for me alone, and threatens that if you don't say good things about her in front of me, or tell me what she said, she won't do it, and she will go back to the tribe, right?" ”
She sighed, wrapped her hands around my waist, leaned her head on my shoulder, and said in frustration, "So you know everything." ”
"I know, so I don't want you to embarrass me and act with you. But I also want to tell you, we husband and wife are of the same heart, don't care so much, you don't have to hide it from me for her, let's just hide it from her together, listen to me, maybe she is not the only one who can save us, I can be regarded as an antidote now, do you remember the sacrifice ceremony to cook you? The two Wutu people who were forcibly canned juice, what they drank was the antidote, you remember the smell, maybe we can prepare it ourselves, you have experience in dispensing medicine, why don't we try it ourselves, it's really not good to find that girl again. I said.
She immediately raised her head, stood on tiptoe and kissed me on the mouth with great joy, and said, "Yes, yes! That's right, we can figure it out ourselves, I remember the smell, sour, bitter, there should be six or seven herbs, I can try it myself, since the demon fly grows in that area, the antidote may be found around there, you are so smart. ”
I kissed her lips again, touched her little cheek and said, "Next time, no matter what Song Bailu says to you, you can talk to me, a smart person, we are on the side, don't follow her routine, otherwise I won't know if something happens to you." If we can't deserve it, only she can do it, then it's okay, and I'll leave the medicine to you when the time comes. ”
"No, you can keep it for yourself, don't give it to me!" Yun Wenjiao said angrily.
I smiled, and at this time, just as the two of us were talking to each other, I suddenly heard a strange sound, the sound was coming from the foot of the mountain, not far from us, and the sound, like the sound of walking barefoot, like a human, I remember that the cannibals all wear tin shoes, could it be that there are still people in ambush here who do not wear shoes?
No, I think of the man who hanged him just now, he is not a Utu, so he is not wearing shoes!
