Chapter 34, Zhenshan Beast
No, there was still temperature in the camp, the campfire had not been completely extinguished, and the light of the flashlight swept away the changed bandages and food bags scattered on the ground.
Could it be that the guy knew he was leaving, so he packed his things ahead of time and went to me?
Hmph, smiled bitterly, thinking that he was really a simple and cute guy.
Forget it, don't worry about his immediate priority now is to go back to the canal and get the box back, whether it's the key or not, but the mountain map on that thing is definitely the only way to guide me out.
Gritting my teeth, I climbed over the camp and groped my way back along the path, and finally after some time I saw the walls of the city not far away.
Then I found the crack in the wall, and walked in slowly, but when I entered, I found that the box was gone, and there was only half of my clothes that had been ripped off on the ground.
"What's going on?" Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters were no longer there, I held up my flashlight and swung around, still not finding any trace of the box falling.
Could it be that it fell in the woods? I scratched my head, thinking that this would be difficult.
Come to think of it, half of the time has passed, and I feel that it is not a way to spend it here all the time, if I wait for those monsters to come back, maybe they will really arrest me, and besides, a big living person can't suffocate to death with a bubble of, let's take a step and see a step!
So I turned back and ran headlong into the woods, and I was going to walk along the Shinto path to see where it leads.
I walked all the way for I don't know how many hours, and found that the deeper I went, the more strange the plants around me became, some of the roots of some trees were wrapped around another big tree like a snake, and some trees grew directly from the middle of other tree trunks, like parasites, and some plants had flowers that split into two pieces, and the edges all grew into jagged shapes, like the mouths of monsters.
The flashlight swept around, and it looked as if he had entered a strange country, and the country was full of strange demons.
And the denser the forest, the lower the temperature, at this time I don't know the time outside the mountain, but slowly here is full of a layer of white mist, only after walking a distance is the face of water stains, even the breath out of their mouths, but also with the hazy fog melted together, regardless of each other, the light of the flashlight is less than a few meters away, and the field of vision is at a loss.
Then I felt something get into my trouser leg and bit me hard, and I clenched my teeth and was about to lower my head and button the thing out, but when I opened my pants and looked, I found that it was a thumb-thick leech, which seemed to be full of blood, and was lying motionless on my calf at this time.
I took a deep breath and knew that the leeches could not be easily pulled out, because the more I pulled the leeche's sucker the tighter it was, so that once the leech was pulled off, its sucker would remain in the wound, which would easily cause infection and ulceration.
It stands to reason that once you find that you have been bitten by a leech, you can use cool oil, water soaked in cigarettes, salt, strong vinegar, alcohol, chili powder, lime, etc. to sprinkle on the insect body to relax the suction cup and fall off on its own. But I didn't take anything with me on this trip, and even the only cigarette I had already smoked out of the car.
So I had to tie the pants of the other leg to death, and then gently tap it above the bite of the leech, because when I was a child, I heard that this would make the leech release the suction cup and fall off.
But this method takes a long time, and sometimes it doesn't necessarily work, but now I have no choice but to do it. Fortunately, the old man didn't lie to me, and after seeing that the leech's whole body had grown twice as much, it really broke away from my leg, so he hurriedly squeezed out the bruises from the wound, then tied his trouser legs, and continued to walk forward.
I knew that I could not stay long in this place, which was the interior of the mountain, the most shady and humid place, and the most breeding ground for mosquitoes and poisonous ants, especially among the huge flowers and parasitic plants that could not be named.
Thinking that those plants were inherently poisonous, coupled with those insects, I couldn't help but shiver, and simply took off my torn coat and pierced the cuffs of my limbs again.
"Whew...... Whew......"
But at this moment, suddenly there was a thunderous roar in the mountains and forests.
It was as if there was a thunderbolt exploding not far away, and it startled me.
"What's going on?" Doubts spread in my heart, thinking that this is not the voice of a tiger or a bear?
"Ah...... Ah......h
Then another voice sounded, the voice was terrible and heartbreaking, but in the voice I could hear his source, it was clearly the man who called my old dog one by one.
"Huh?" Isn't he supposed to be in the palace? How can it be in front of me now?
With a strong curiosity, I hurriedly pulled out my legs and rushed over.
As I ran, I heard a scream of terror all the way, and the sound was mournful and mournful, and at last it was a little hoarse, and soon the light source of the flashlight came from my sight, and the light source was still on the ground, and as it radiated, I saw a huge beast standing in a clearing in the woods.
The thing was about 2 or 3 meters tall, on all fours, with bulging muscles on its chest, and its fur was yellow and shiny, but the thing was holding its head high as if it was chewing something, so that the flashlight that originally fell on the ground could not shine on its face.
It's just that as the thing continues to chew, the human voice in its mouth becomes weaker and weaker, and at the same time, a large amount of blood continues to gush out along the fur of its neck, ticking and falling to the ground, making a chilling sound, and the scene is bloody and unbearable to look at.
"Old ...... Old Dog ......"
Obviously, the guy saw me, and at this time he actually shouted at me with his last breath, and the voice was smiling, like a female ghost with a locked soul, and I trembled when I heard it.
It was his last word, and then I just heard the sound of bones shattering, and then there was no more movement.
"Crazy, really crazy." I held my head and looked at the scene in disbelief, I could never have imagined that the guy who had been sitting across from me and laughing with me a few hours ago would end up like this.
Then the great beast in the forest swallowed the corpse of the fellow as if it had finished eating, shook its neck, and walked into the forest again, and disappeared again, but even then I was still trembling with fear and did not dare to take a step forward.
The terrifying sight and the ferocious creature shook my heart for a long time.
"Damn, why would he go ahead of me?"
"Damn, why is there such a terrifying beast in this forest?"
"Damn, what to do? What to do? ”
Countless questions swirled in my mind, until I saw the backpack that had fallen not far away, the brown backpack of two shoulders, it was supposed to have been thrown out so the contents were scattered on the ground, and in the light of the flashlight, I saw something I couldn't have imagined, a boxy wooden box the size of a palm.
"I'll poke!" For a moment, there was a feeling of being deceived, and at the same time, the doubts about that guy were also revealed, it turned out that he was also a false and wronged guy......
Presumably he had followed me, picked up the box I had fallen out of my clothes, lured me into the palace in order to leave alone, and then went back to the camp to pack up and run away alone.
pressed his temples, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that when I lied to him, he was also wishful thinking in his heart, so the reason why he called me an old dog was just to get closer?
While thinking, he walked over and picked up the backpack on the ground, after all, there were still some medical supplies in it, and I had to quickly treat the wound on my leg.
With this packing up my backpack, I hid in the woods, meditated my leg and bandaged a wound, then packed my bags, rested in place for a while, ate something and got some water, and began to walk on.
Of course, he was just a small episode about this guy, and I didn't care much about his life or death, but after he died, he provided me with a lot of supplies, thinking that when I went out, I would burn him more paper money.
I walked along the Shinto Road for more than a few hours, during which the light of the flashlight saw that the density of the trees was not very dense, but the sun I had seen before above the treetops was gone, so all the way I walked, the forest was pitch black, and soon I walked in the darkness not far away, I seemed to hear the voice of a human voice.
The voice was clear, and it was clearly not from a person.
This time, I learned my previous lesson, turned off the flashlight early, and moved towards the place where the sound was.
Turning a corner, I saw a little light appear in my sight not far away.
In my heart, I thought that it was really someone.
Who is it? Could it be that there are other people in this place besides Scarface and the unlucky ghost? And what are these guys who come in one after another?
With great doubts, he walked over slowly.
This time I walked very lightly, and I was pretty sure I wasn't discovered.
Soon, I was getting closer to the light source, and the voices of the people were getting farther and farther away, as if they had abandoned the light source and headed deeper into the forest.
Taking a deep breath, pricking up his ears, he tiptoed into that place.
Finally, a moment later, I came to the light source, and when I looked down, I found that it was actually a candle, the candle was half burned, and the green candle flame flickered in the breeze, and I looked at this candle, and felt a little familiar in my heart, so I bent down and picked it up.
But the moment I picked up the candle, an extremely familiar voice rang out.
The voice trembled and shouted, "Yes...... Someone ......"
