Chapter 55: The Strange Forest
"As I said, I'm a man who keeps his promises." The ghost fox shrugged his shoulders and said in a firm tone.
But Xu Ran didn't believe her words very much, a person who disguised himself all day long, what he said was difficult to convince.
"You'd better not play tricks." Xu Ran coldly dropped a sentence and walked towards the mountain.
"You don't believe me that much?" The ghost fox followed Xu and pretended to be pitiful.
Xu Ran snorted lightly, thinking of how she would change her face every day, she was a little uncomfortable, if one day, she disguised herself as herself, killed people, and set fires, then who would she cry out with.
So he glanced behind him, "If you were sincere, you wouldn't be wearing that mask all day." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the ghost fox behind him, "Moreover, I don't know if you are a man or a woman from beginning to end." Or neither. ”
When the ghost fox heard Xu Ran say that she was neither male nor female, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart, and her tone became meaningful.
"Please rest assured! I am indeed a woman, and the reason why I change my face all day is just to hide my other identity. ”
Xu Ran didn't want to say more, so he pouted forward and said, "Then show your sincerity!" ”
"Alas!" The ghost fox sighed, "Can't you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”
The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched, and he said, "Less nonsense!" Please lead the way! I'll protect you in the back. When it came to the last few words, he deliberately raised his tone a few points.
After hearing Xu Ran's words, the ghost fox could only obediently lead the way in front.
She seemed to have been here, and she walked up to it if she was familiar with the road, and Xu Ran also found that the ghost fox in front of her had very good eyesight, and in the dim night, she could actually distinguish that there was a road and there was grass.
You know, now they are still smearing and moving forward, and there is no light at all.
This suddenly reminded him of Huang Jing, who had such vision before.
Who the hell is she?
Xu Ran put a question mark in his heart.
There is still some distance from the place where Wei Yan was kidnapped, and the two did not communicate verbally on the way, just gesticulating, where should the road go, what should be paid attention to, beware of traps and the like.
Speaking of these traps, it is actually a deserted cemetery, there is a large patch of roses around the cemetery, if it is during the day, it is okay, you can see the road conditions clearly, but now it is night, if you are not careful, you will be cut by those spikes, Xu Ran doesn't care, after all, he is a big man, it will be fine after a few days to scratch the skin, and there is no need to worry about leaving scars.
But the ghost fox is different, after all, she is also a woman, and when she passes by those roses, she always becomes cautious, for fear of scratching the skin and leaving a scar.
After passing by the cemetery, Xu Ran finally knew why the two drivers refused to take him to such a ghost place.
There is a forest called the Ghost Forest, as for why it is called the Ghost Forest, Xu Ran is not very clear, but judging from the dark and secluded piece, it is related to this ghost word.
I saw that on the tree not far away, there were strips of cloth that moved with the wind, and strange runes were drawn on top of the strips, because the environment was too dark, so Xu Ran didn't see it very clearly, but he vaguely saw that there was a word written on it that looked like a Li character, which was better like a Taoist exorcism.
Could it be that there really are ghosts here?
The ghost fox walked for a while, and felt that there was no movement behind him, so he stopped and turned his head to look at Xu Ran.
When he saw Xu Ran standing there stupidly looking at the white cloth strip on the tree, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he immediately turned around and pulled Xu Ran forward.
Xu Ran was pulled by the ghost fox, and then he came back to his senses, he seemed to be hypnotized just now.
It's ridiculous to say, he's a hypnotist himself, and he's actually confused by this thing.
It's just too wicked here.
As soon as Xu Ran opened his mouth and said the word 'this', an echo sounded around him, as if he was screaming like a ghost, with a rude laugh in his voice.
Neither of them dared to stay long, staying in such a gloomy place, always feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at them behind them.
So Xu Ran didn't dare to look back at the piece of white cloth anymore, and followed the ghost fox all the way.
Walking out of the woods, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, looked back behind him, and suddenly saw that the white cloth strip was still hanging faintly on the tree, and he didn't know if he was dazzled, and suddenly saw a woman walking out of the darkness, looking at him deeply, and then cracking a big mouth, and smiling at Xu Ran.
The face was terrifying, with a long, thin line sewn on the mouth, from the edge of the left corner to the edge of the right corner, the eyes were black, there were no eyeballs, only two swarthy holes, I don't know if there was something hanging on the tip of the nose, or a trachea, always inadvertently squirting out a stream of swarthy things. Seeing this, Xu Ran couldn't help but wipe his eyes, and then found that there was nothing under the white cloth at all, what a terrifying woman, everything was an illusion.
The ghost fox walked up to Xu Ran, stared at him, didn't say anything, and walked away on his own.
After leaving the deep and terrifying forest, Xu Ran and the others passed by a lake.
The lake was not too big, it was surrounded by weeds, it was estimated that it was only one or two hundred square meters, and Xu Ran and they didn't walk for a while before they came to a collapsed temple.
This broken temple is completely different from the temple in Xu Ran's mind, there is no statue of a god here, and even the stone sculpture placed at the door is a kind of statue that he has never seen before, not like a mascot, but like a demon under hell, with a bloody mouth, staring at passers-by with a tigerish eye.
But time was of the essence, and he didn't have time to look at the environment in this dilapidated temple.
There was another forest in front of them, and the two stood outside and looked at each other, but finally stepped inside.
There were still five minutes left, and Wei Yan looked at the time bomb strapped to his body, and had a feeling of the end of a hero.
He hoped that Xu Ran could come to save him, but then he thought about it, there were traps buried everywhere here, and he was afraid that if he came, he would also be sent to death, so he didn't want Xu Ran to come to this place to die.
This is a very contradictory psychology, just like a wolf and a tiger in front of you, no matter how you choose, you can't escape the fate of death.
Suddenly, the leaves shook slightly, and a figure jumped down from the tree and appeared in front of Wei Yan's eyes.
This person is about one meter eight tall, his face is thin, well-defined, and he is a melon seed face, he is not very handsome, but he is very attractive. I saw that he stopped when he was about seven or eight meters away from Wei Yan, and then glanced around, and then raised his head faintly to look at the three people hanging on the tree.
