Xiao Kui looked at his watch, and it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, "It's not early, let's find a place to spend the night!" ”

So they found a flat place to set up camp, and this deep forest was full of branches and leaves, and it had just rained and the humidity was very heavy.

The wild mosquitoes in the forest bite people, and a quasi-ankle and arm are all bitten, "There are really many wild mosquitoes in this barren mountain and wild mountains." Xiao Zhao of the Cultural Relics Bureau said impatiently.

Once the tent was set up, I found some dry wood to make a fire to keep warm, and soon a bonfire was burning, and the pot was set up and some food was cooked.

The group sat around the campfire, eating noodles and roasting the fire.

The sky gradually darkened, and the barren mountains and mountains were instantly pitch black, and there was no finger to be seen, only a pile of fire shining in the woods.

Xiao Kui said: "It is inevitable that there will be jackals, tigers and leopards in this barren mountain range, everyone will take turns to watch the fire tonight, and the bonfire cannot be extinguished, and the beasts cannot be allowed to get close to the tent." ”

Zhang Heming said: "Let's go and rest first, I'll guard the fire first." ”

"Okay."

The other seven people went to the tent to rest, and Zhang Heming sat next to the bonfire to add firewood.

From time to time, the chirping of flowers, birds, fish and insects can be heard in the woods, and spending the night in the barren mountains and mountains always makes people shudder.

The mountain wind rustled through the branches of the trees, like a hundred ghosts were screaming and wailing, Zhang Heming was not surprised, but fortunately, she had spent several months in the primeval forest of Changbai Mountain, and these real objects were not strange.

Zhang Heming looked up at the night sky, the stars were shining, the vast universe was above the blue sky, and a few meteors passed by from time to time.

Time passed little by little, and the original cries of flowers, birds, fish and insects also stopped, and it was quiet.

It was already the second half of the night, and Xiao Zhao of the Cultural Relics Bureau, who was guarding the bonfire, sat alone next to the bonfire, took out half of the books and looked at them under the light.

The mountain wind was blowing coldly, and I couldn't help but shiver, and the fire of the fire was swaying back and forth by the mountain wind.

Seeing that the fire was small, Xiao Zhao added some firewood, and Xiao Zhao continued to look at the books.

Deep in the dark woods, a towering ancient tree stands among the trees.

At this moment, the ground actually cracked, and I saw thick roots emerge from the ground, and the roots of the tree squirmed towards the distant fire as if they were alive.

The roots of the tree jumped towards Xiao Zhao, who was sitting on the edge of the bonfire, and saw that the roots of the tree were like the tentacles of an octopus, and they immediately wrapped Xiao Zhao tightly.

Before Xiao Zhao could scream, he had been dragged away by the tree roots, leaving a book on the ground.

The roots of the tree dragged his body little by little, and he disappeared into the trees in an instant......

As the night receded, a red sun rose, and the sound of birdsong sounded in the woods.

The group got out of the tent, Xiao Kui got out of the tent and yawned, "Oops, it's really uncomfortable to sleep in the woods, I haven't slept well all night." ”

So the group lit a fire, and after cooking breakfast and eating it, Xiao Li from the Cultural Relics Bureau asked, "Dean Xiao, have you seen Xiao Zhao?" Why didn't you see him out for breakfast? ”

Professor Che from the Cultural Relics Bureau said: "Xiao Zhao should still be sleeping!" ”

Xiao Li opened Xiao Zhao's tent and looked at it, but found that it was empty, "Professor Che, Xiao Zhao is not in the tent?" ”

"Could he go to the bathroom?" Professor Che said.

"It's impossible, the toilet can't be so long, we've all finished eating, how can it be that it hasn't come out yet." Xiao Li said anxiously.

Zhang Heming saw the book that fell next to him, picked up the book and said, "Is this book Xiao Zhao's?" ”

Xiao Li took the book and said, "That's right, this book is Xiao Zhao's, but how could it be here?" Xiao Zhao doesn't throw books. ”

Sun Ping said: "Could something happen?" ”

When it came to the accident, Xiao Li was obviously shocked, "Could it be that Xiao Zhao really encountered a beast in this barren mountain and wild range?" ”

"There is always a movement when we encounter a wild beast, but we didn't notice anything unusual last night." Xiao Kui said.

"Maybe something will happen to this barren mountain and wilderness, let's go look for Xiao Zhao, maybe he is lost." Sun Pingdao.

So the group looked for Xiao Zhao in the woods, but after looking for a long time, they didn't find Xiao Zhao.

Even Xiao Zhao didn't respond, "What can I do?" Xiao Zhao is missing. Xiao Li said anxiously.

Obviously, Xiao Zhao and his party panicked, and this suddenly disappeared A person was a little caught off guard.

"Don't worry, as the saying goes, if you live to see a person die, you have to see a corpse, and I haven't seen Xiao Zhao's corpse yet, and I can't tell if he is in danger." Xiao Kui said.

At this time, a scream sounded, and as soon as the group heard Professor Che's voice, they hurriedly ran towards Professor Che.

The group saw Professor Che sitting on the ground alone, with a frightened look on his face, and stumbled and said, "There is death~...... dead man"

There are dead people?

Xiao Kui hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”

Professor Che trembled and pointed to the weeds and said, "In ~ there." ”

The group walked slowly towards the haystack, and Xiao Kui took a look at the weeds.

A corpse came into view, and a dry corpse described as withered was lying in the grass.

"Xiao Zhao, it's Xiao Zhao."

Xiao Li recognized it at a glance as the missing Xiao Zhao, and the clothes worn by this corpse were Xiao Zhao's.

Xiao Zhao opened his mouth and stared at his eyes with a frightened expression, obviously seeing something terrible.

When everyone saw this scene, their faces changed instantly, "What's going on?" Good end to become a dried corpse for so long? Xiao Kui was surprised.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Heming would never have imagined that Xiao Zhao, a fat man of more than 180 pounds, would actually become a dry corpse with a withered description.

The previous speculation also came to naught, and it was impossible to turn into a dry corpse if attacked by a wild beast. Apparently caused by the absorption of a large amount of water from the body.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and it seems that this matter is not so simple.

Pei Zhixin blurted out: "It's the essence that was sucked away." ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of the people below became more and more ugly, and Sun Ping took a look at it with a compass and said, "There is something doing something wrong here." ”

Xiao Li's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and Xiao Kui said, "Mr. Sun, can you see what it is?" ”

Sun Ping said: "I don't know, but I'm sure it's a spirit in the mountains." ”

Deng Jiuliang looked at Xiao Zhao's corpse and said: "Those who can suck their souls and essence dry are obviously not ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters, it seems that there are profound things in this barren mountain and wild mountains." ”

I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I came here, and it was obviously a bit difficult.
