I shook my head, which was still a little dizzy, focused my gaze, and frowned at the figure by the fire, only to realize that the figure in the animal skin coat was actually a child.

Yes, a little boy, looking like he was in his teens, with big watery eyes, staring at me blinking.

"You ......"

I let go of the hand that was touching my waist, and of course I didn't guard again.

Why be wary? If this little boy had done us any harm, he would have fished us out of the lake and made a fire to keep us warm?

"Here...... My family ......"

The little boy, whose Chinese was a little lame, smiled at me and pointed to the ground beside him.

"You mean, your home is in the valley of death?"

I asked, rubbing my palms together and walking to the fire beside the little boy, the cold of my body being dispelled by the warmth of the fire.

At this time, the little boy nodded his head, pointed to the side of Death Valley, and then to the lake, and made a drag motion.

"You're going home, and you're passing through here, so you scooped us up?"

As I spoke, I reached out to probe the snorts of Zhou Fang and Wang and Amu Gulang, who were lying on the side, but fortunately, the snorts of the three were very stable, and it seemed that they had only fainted, and they were not fatally injured.

"It's really blessed by the mountain gods......"

I muttered, and I couldn't help but stroke the Tibetan knife around my waist again.

At this moment, the little boy on the other side of the fire stared at the hidden knife at my waist and raised his eyebrows, as if he was very curious.

Without thinking too much, I took off the hidden knife and handed it to the little boy.

Just kidding, in addition to the blessing of the mountain god Rikugo, if this little boy doesn't fish us up from the lake, we will definitely die, so this little boy is a lifesaver for us, just like the mountain god Rikugo.

The little boy followed and took the Tibetan knife, but he did not draw out the blade, but carefully looked at the scabbard of the hidden knife in the firelight, of course, the scabbard was engraved with the mountain god Lu Wu with a human head and a tiger body.

"Like it? I'll give it to you. ”

I stared at the little boy and smiled, but the little boy shook his head and gave me back the hidden knife.

"You ...... Death Valley...... Do? ”

I listened, and of course understood that the little boy was asking us what we were going to do in Death Valley.

My heart moved, and it suddenly occurred to me that since this little boy lives in this valley of death and lives near this west road, will he know about the wolf spirit in this west road? Will you know if Xiaoling's madness is related to the wolf spirit?

Without hesitation, I pointed to the valley wall and asked the little boy if he knew that there were wolf spirits in this western road.

"Wolf spirits?"

The little boy frowned, as if he didn't understand what I meant, and I had a flash of inspiration and learned the wolf spirit's long howl.

"Oh......"

The little boy nodded vigorously, obviously knowing what I called a wolf spirit.

Of course, the name wolf spirit was originally what I had assumed before, and I don't know what it was on the top of the valley on the west road that forced other animals to jump into the valley.

Then I spent some more effort, gesturing with my hands and feet, and asked the little boy if he knew that wolf spirits could spread toxins and drive people crazy.

Then the little boy nodded at me without hesitation.

I was delighted, but the little boy shook his head at me after nodding.

"It's not spreading...... Be...... It's a sacrifice. ”

"Sacrifice?"

I frowned, and the little boy pointed to the valley wall again.

"Guard...... Sacrifice...... By ......"

I widened at it, and of course I understood what the little boy meant.

According to the little boy's meaning, Xiaoling went crazy, not because of the wolf spirit, but because of some kind of sacrifice!

That wolf spirit is not occupying this West Road of Death Valley, but guarding this West Road of Death Valley!

Yes!

The wolf spirit was guarding the western path of Death Valley, and if he wanted to pass through this western path, he had to sacrifice to pass through.

And Xiao Ling is the sacrifice that his brother and X found, so he has become that crazy appearance.

But the same crazy mercenary we met at the top of the valley before...... Wait a minute!

My eyes widened, and it occurred to me that the corpses of the mercenaries I had seen on the western road of the valley seemed to be black-haired Asians.

But when we were hiding on the mountain wall before, I could clearly see that among the mercenaries was a foreigner with blond hair......

The foreigner did not die in this west road of Death Valley, because ...... Because that mad mercenary is the sacrifice of the blonde foreigner to the wolf spirit who guards this western road!

Chang exhaled a cold breath, although it was a little unbelievable, but thinking about it this way, everything could make sense.

"That little friend, do you know any way to cure the person who went crazy after being sacrificed?"

I asked, staring straight at the little boy's watery eyes.

The little boy stared at me for a moment, then nodded.

"Earth...... Map. ”

Without hesitation, I quickly pulled out the map of the Kunlun Mountains that I had purchased in Golmud.

When the boy got the map, he didn't point to it, but turned it over and put it next to the fire with its back up.

Of course I understood what he meant, and quickly handed him the ballpoint pen again.

The little boy took the ballpoint pen and drew on the back of the map, twisting and turning until he stopped writing, and the back of the map was almost completely covered by him.

"Here'......"

The little boy pointed to the starting point of the map he had drawn, and then to the wall of the valley against which we were leaning.

I nodded, and of course I understood what the little boy meant, and the starting point on the map he was pointing to was the end of the West Road in Death Valley.

Then, the little boy pointed to the end of the map he had drawn, and at the end of the map, he painted a strange rune.

The runes were boxy, with a circle in the middle, and I couldn't tell what it was.

"Prajna Flower ......"

The little boy said, rubbing the strange rune at the end of the map.

"Flowers? This boxy thing is a flower? ”

I couldn't believe it, but the little boy nodded solemnly.

"Prajna flowers...... Can ......"

I listened, staring straight into the boy's eyes.

"Are you saying that the Prajna flower at the end of this map you drew is capable of healing people who have gone mad as a result of sacrifices, including removing toxins from the bodies of those who have gone mad?"

I asked in a very serious tone, and the little boy nodded very seriously, but after nodding, he drew another pattern next to the Pranya flower at the end of the map, one that made me frown.

He painted...... A door......

Yes! The little boy nodded, and drew a door next to the Pranya flower.

"The door opens...... Be careful......"

I was shocked when I heard it, and of course I thought of what Amu Gulang said, that the crazy tourist entered this Kunlun Death Valley, and he wanted to go to the center of the hinterland, saying that the door was going to be opened, and the things in the door could not be allowed to come out......

Could it be that the little boy said that the Prajna flower that can cure Xiao Ling is near the door that the mad tourist said is about to be opened?

If this is really the case, my previous speculation is really not wrong, everything that is strange in Kunlun Death Valley is clearly the same thing!

The madman entered the hinterland of Death Valley and said that the door was open and that the contents of the door could not be allowed out.

Then, a mercenary sent by someone comes to track down the mad tourist and wants to exterminate anyone who crosses path.

and Xiao Ling's brother took Xiao Ling into the West Road of Death Valley and used Xiao Ling as a sacrifice, causing Xiao Ling to go crazy.

Of course, there was also the person who took Fang Jin's soul and led me to see Xiaoling thousands of miles away.

All of this, when connected, can get an answer, that is, the person who took Fang Jin's soul led me to see Xiaoling, and then experienced a series of unbelievable things on the west road of Death Valley, so that I could go to the door where the flower is located because of the investigation of Xiaoling's case, and the door where the flower is located......

I looked at the little boy and pointed to the location of the Pranya flower and the gate on the map.

"Hinterland? Death Valley Hinterland? ”

The little boy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to know that the location of such a flower and gate was in the hinterland of Death Valley.

"Yes......"

The accurate answer with a nod also completely convinced me that all these things are related.

Fang Jin's soul was taken away, Xiao Ling went crazy, and the madman tourists entered the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain, the door that was about to open, and the Pranya flower that could heal Xiao Ling by the door.

It's all connected, but I can't quite get it all right to figure out the whole thing.

I am an ant trapped in the whirlpool, and although I am in the whirlpool, I cannot see the whole whirlpool.

"Beware...... ...... in the door"

At this moment, the little boy pointed to the door on the map and opened it again.

I nodded at him and thanked him, but the boy frowned and pointed to the knife at my waist again.

"You want this hidden knife, don't you? It's okay, I'll give it to you if you want it. ”

I took the knife from my waist and handed it to the boy again.

However, at the moment when the little boy held the hidden knife, an inexplicable chill suddenly came from the bottom of my heart.

It's yin! Majestic Yin Qi! It rose from the little boy's body like a torrent and rushed to the little boy's arm where he had taken the hidden knife.

I was so shocked that I couldn't help but lean back, trying to get away from the little boy.

However, at this moment, the little boy stood up directly.

Just one glance, my blood and bones were cold.

For I could see clearly by the light of the fire that the little boy who stood up, under his broad fur coat, was the body of a wild beast! Moreover, it is also the body of the tiger of the king of beasts!

It was just a moment of horror, and the little boy's tiger body flashed, and he jumped directly onto the valley wall where the fire was leaning, and its speed was exactly like a lightning bolt, jumping on the valley wall, and it reached the top of the valley in a few clicks.

I was dumbfounded, and a long howl came from the little boy with the tiger body who had gone to the top of the valley, and it was the same howl of the wolf spirit that we had heard in the valley before......

"Wolf spirit!"

Suddenly, perhaps because the long whistle was too piercing, Amu Gulang by the fire woke up, and sat up with his hands up, but he shrank up and looked at the top of the valley.

And with Amu Gulang's gaze, the little boy with the tiger body above the top of the valley stopped howling and disappeared into the snowlight in the moonlight.

"What's that?"

Amu Gulang frowned, of course he didn't see the appearance of the little wolf child with the tiger body clearly.

"The wolf spirit you said earlier ......"

I replied, exhaling a long breath of cold, I really didn't expect that this little boy turned out to be the so-called 'wolf spirit'...... Wait a minute!

I looked at the fire where the little boy was sitting just now, and found that next to the fire, there was a scabbard of the knife, which was the Tibetan knife I had just handed to the little boy.

I grabbed the Tibetan knife and carefully looked at the mountain god Lu Wu engraved on the Tibetan knife.

Human-faced tiger body......
