Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 46, Ghost Fire Forest

"In the tomb?" The crowd was puzzled.

"If you think of this river as a tomb road, and the grottoes on both sides are guarded by the tomb road, then the tomb chamber is in front."

"But that's not right, the location of this river ...... ...... hiss," Uncle Long shook his head, "Strange...... It's so weird......"

"Could it be ......" Uncle Long seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

"What's wrong, Uncle Long?" Chen Tao asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure yet, keep going and see what else is there."

The river channel is very long, and the further back you go, the higher the water level of the river. At first, the river bank was four or five meters wide, but later it was just over one meter wide. Everyone lined up in a long line and walked on the side bank one after another, and the stone pillars and stalagmites around were becoming fewer and fewer, and they were almost no longer visible.

"The bank is getting narrower and narrower, and we have to find a way to get a boat." Boss Zhang said

"Where can I find a boat where this bird doesn't!" Mountain ghost road.

"We can build our own boats without boats, isn't there ready-made materials?"

Haozi kicked the vine branch with a thick arm on the edge of the stone wall,

"I don't know what kind of trees grow from these, although they stink a little, the wood is okay."

When everyone heard this, it was also a solution. The most important thing around is these vines, as thick as they are, as long as they want.

Immediately, Boss Zhang beckoned Ah Cheng and the soldier brothers to take shovels to cut down trees and vines, and the others were also busy. The sound of shovel swings and vine branches breaking echoed from the open ground.

Fortunately, there are many of them, and no one is idle. I took the same materials, picked some vine branches of similar thickness, cut them down, and tied them with rope to tie three simple rafts, each of which was large enough to hold three or four people

"Oh oh I'm top, I'm tired!" Boss Zhang leaned on a tied raft and said.

I swam a shovel in the river, and the foul smell of juice on it made people feel sick.

After some tossing, several people were also a little tired, sat on the bank and rested for a while, enduring the smell of drunken fairy dreams, everyone worked together to push the three rafts into the river, successively got on the felling, and rowed forward along the river with a folding shovel as oars.

The raft was rudimentary, but sturdy, and there were several bumps into large boulders protruding from the river along the way. Chen Tao was worried all the way, for fear that if the raft fell apart, he would go into the water to take a bath.

Uncle Long, Uncle Wang, and the mountain ghost walked in front of each other on a raft, and in the middle were Chen Tao, Haozi and Yang Lixuan. Boss Zhang was at the end.

Their raft was larger than Chen Tao's, and it was more than enough for four people on it. Ah Cheng and the GI brothers really deserve the reputation of the mercenary Titans, and the vine branches cut down are thick and long. Boss Zhang, who has been overseas all the year round, knows the structure of the ship very well, and their raft is very strong.

When he was on the shore, Boss Zhang was kind enough to guide a few of them to make a raft, which made Chen Tao a little surprised, after all, along the way, Boss Zhang's reliability coefficient in his heart has always been negative.

The three fellers made their way down the river. Although the river does not flow fast, fortunately, it is smooth, and everyone does not need to make any effort to paddle, only need to use a shovel to control the direction of the raft.

The river in front of us became winding, and there were no banks on either side anymore. Along the way, Chen Tao always felt that there was something strange behind him, as if something was staring at them.

Looking back behind him several times, he couldn't see anything in the dark, which made Chen Tao feel very bottomless. The previous experience in the laboratory was vivid, and under the high level of tension, Chen Tao felt that the pores on his back seemed to have eyes, even if a gust of wind blew, he could detect it.

"Taozi, are you alright?" Looking at Chen Tao, who had been looking back, Haozi said a little strangely.

"It's nothing, I just feel like there's something looking at me from behind......"

Chen Tao touched the back of his neck and said.

"Maybe it's the sequelae that scare out on it, don't be nervous, even if there is something, it's the ones who are unlucky." Haozi glanced at Boss Zhang not far away, and the others lowered their voices. Uncle Long told him again and again, he didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

"Maybe it......" With a soft exhale, Chen Tao turned his head back, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Uncle Long in front of him was holding a compass, looking at and observing the surrounding rock formations, Yang Lixuan sat cross-legged in front of the falcon, his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

Boss Zhang and the others behind him didn't know what they were chatting about, and after saying a few words, they all quieted down. In the silence of the river, only the sound of shovels paddling remains, and everything around it seems to be quiet as if it did not exist.

Just after Chen Tao turned his head, on the stone wall not far behind him, a little red light disappeared into the endless darkness in an instant......

......

Wow......

Wow......

In the silent darkness, the sound of paddling echoed rhythmically. A few pillars of light flashed in the distance, and three rafts drifted slowly along the winding river.

On a raft at the head stood a middle-aged man with a compass in his hand, constantly checking the directions. Behind him, two people, one on the left and one on the right, sat on the raft, their folding shovels paddling non-stop.

On another raft behind him, a young man sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, with a long iron stick carved with strange patterns on his lap. Behind him, the same two young men were chatting and paddling in the water.

On the last raft, two people, one fat and one thin, sat in front, and behind them were two big men who were as strong as mountains.

The fat man was holding a pipe in his mouth and looking around with a flashlight, and some thin red-haired young man was playing with a coin in his hand, which was running through his slender fingertips as if it had come to life, and then it was bounced high and landed in the red-haired young man's hand with unmistakable accuracy.

"It's going to turn a corner ahead, pay attention to the ones behind." Uncle Long took his finger and shouted at the few people behind him.

Holding a flashlight in front of you, the river was calm, and you couldn't see any waves except for the splash of paddling.

The dark rock walls on both sides are covered with vines of varying thicknesses. The vine branches have no leaves, and only rely on their thin roots to cling to the stone wall, and from a distance they look like they are moldy and have countless fimbria.

The raft turned a small bend, and the river channel in front of it widened, and the banks on both sides reappeared, revealing the rugged rock formations beneath the water.

As the raft moved forward, the banks of the river became wider. Everyone was surprised to find that in addition to the caves on the stone wall, there were even wooden coffins on the river bank.

The placement of the wooden coffin is very messy, and there is no pattern to be seen. Some are very well preserved, some have been opened and slanted aside, and some are so badly damaged that only a few broken planks remain. In addition, there are a lot of white bones scattered on the riverbank, layer on top of each other, and the entire riverbank seems to be made of white bones.

In the darkness, a pale green fluorescence floated on the surface of the white bones. Chen Tao knows this kind of light, it is said that after the death of a person or animal, the decomposition of the corpse will produce a strange flame, which is very weird, and the folk call this kind of fire "ghost fire".

If you patiently gaze at the places where there are many wild graves on a hot summer night, you may find a faint blue spark.

At this time, superstitious people will say, "It is the ghost of the deceased in the tomb, reluctant to be reincarnated, and the ghost wanders there,"

Those fires are the so-called "ghost fires". Some people also say that if someone passes by there, those "ghost fires" will follow the person, as if they are being chased by ghosts, which is very terrifying.

These "ghost fires" are actually "phosphorus fires", which usually appear among graves in rainy weather, but occasionally in cities, for reasons that are not yet known.

Modern scientific explanations for the fact that human bones contain phosphorus, phosphine is produced when it reacts with water or alkali, which is a gas that can spontaneously combust, is very lightweight, and moves when the wind blows, but it has not been proven.

When walking, the air generated will cause it to move behind the person, and if the person looks back, there is a green and eerie evil fire behind him, which is really scary.

Those faint green fluorescences, like a membrane, are attached to the white bones, if you don't care about the authenticity of the reasons, it really seems that the owner of those white bones is unwilling to leave after death, hovering above the body.

Looking at the scenes on the shore, Chen Tao couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

"Oh my God, how many people have died to have so many bones!"
