Chapter 407: Temporary Retirement (Plus 1/5)
"It's noon, and it's not raining, how can it be foggy?!"
Uncle Lou found that everything in front of him was obviously an indescribable strangeness, which made him quite puzzled.
And as they slowly deepened, the fog seemed to have a tendency to get bigger and bigger, almost at a glance, only a white fog could be seen, and even the figures of their companions in front and behind could only see a slight vague outline.
This situation gradually became so serious that it was clear that they and others knew that they were walking in the mountains and forests, but they felt as if they were walking on empty clouds, and the soles of their feet slowly sank into the soft and collapsing soil and rotten leaves, and it was impossible to tell whether the ground ahead was a trap or a bottomless cliff, which invisibly brought a strong sense of fear of the unknown.
And in such a short time, four or five people had accidentally bumped into the tree, and they screamed in pain, but the cries echoed in the mountain stream, and all kinds of strange distorted hissing sounds slowly came back from all directions, adding to the strange color.
"No, there's something weird about this place!"
Uncle Lou is also an experienced person after all, and finally came back to his senses at this moment, his face became a little ugly, and he shouted hatefully: "It must be that those thieves don't know what magic tricks they have cast, so that this place will become such a strange appearance!" ”
"So what do we do!" The companion next to him asked with some uneasiness.
Now this situation is beyond their cognition, and they are a little at a loss for a while.
"Don't be afraid, this fog may look strange, but as long as we keep going up the mountain, we won't go in the wrong direction!" As he spoke, Uncle Lou waved the knife in his hand and cut a piece of bark on the trees on the side to mark it.
"And don't forget that the mountain god is protecting us!"
"Go up! Don't be left behind! ”
After being encouraged, everyone behind him finally regained some confidence and regained their strength to follow, but the palm of their hand subconsciously clenched the sword in their hand harder, as if they were afraid that some terrible monster would suddenly emerge from the mist.
I don't know how long I walked, but I finally came to the border of the thick fog. As the fog thinned, the line of sight began to become clearer.
At this moment, everyone who was already a little tired of walking secretly exerted their strength, intending to sprinkle all the resentment of walking the wrong road for a long time on the bodies of those bandits, and they were eager to try with weapons in their hands.
They can't wait!
However, after Uncle Lou, who was the first to take the lead, walked out of the fog, the familiar scene in front of him made him stunned, his eyes widened and he looked incredulous, and several people behind him who walked out of the fog shrouded area one after another also reacted in the same way, and even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming.
Because they were clearly walking up the mountain before, why are they back at the foot of the mountain at this moment?!
"What's going on?"
Everyone was confused, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid of this strange and inexplicable thing.
Zhou Shize, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw them coming down the mountain so quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, only to learn that there was such an unbelievable thing.
"The thunderstorm that suddenly appeared and disappeared and the white mist that couldn't see the five fingers......" Zhou Shize paced back and forth, bowed his head and groaned, feeling that this matter was becoming more and more strange.
For he did not see these visions at the foot of the mountain, that is to say, only those who entered the mountain forest saw them.
"I'm afraid that the power of ghosts and gods is at work in this!"
He quickly thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, feeling that it was very likely.
Although some people can't figure out how these mountain bandits have anything to do with those ghosts, the most important thing at this time is not to study this, but to call back those unaware subordinates to avoid unnecessary casualties, and go back to think about it in the long run.
After all, he was most aware of the power of those demons, and understood that mortals like himself could not fight against them at all, so he had to think of another way, and maybe he had to ask for help from the jackal demon at the beginning......
……
In the stockade on the mountain, many mountain bandits couldn't help cheering after seeing that the officers and soldiers had really retreated, and they were even more in awe and admiration for the eldest brother who had always been calm and unfazed, as if all the developments had already been known.
In fact, he was also worried, for fear that Zhou Shize would lead troops to fight, but fortunately, now it seems that the old fox did not lie to him.
"Big brother, you're too powerful, how did you do it? Can you scare those officers and soldiers away? ”
Two cronies came up like dogs and flattered to ask for an understanding, but they were glared at by the bandit leader: "You know what you should know, don't ask more if you don't know." I've got my own way! ”
Immediately, he didn't say much to these subordinates, but turned around and went to the room where the fox demon was.
The fox demon had already guessed his intention, and sat at the head of the bed early and waited for him, although he was still in that charming posture, but that face was not interested.
"What I promised you has been done, and the next thing is what you will do for me!" She smiled coquettishly, but her eyes were strangely cold and evil.
"Good!" The bandit leader agreed without hesitation, "When the time comes, when I kill the county order and regain control of this Qingyang City, those ordinary people can enjoy it as you like, and you must also keep us safe at the same time!" ”
"It's nature."
The fox demon agreed very simply, but there was a slight flicker in a pair of fox eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The bandit leader naturally didn't notice her eyes, but carefully recalled what the other party had said to him before, and asked again: "You said before that you were going to catch some monsters that have become herbs to refine the elixir, but after all, we are only mortals, how can we help you subdue them?" ”
The fox demon sneered: "This is naturally simple, those herbal spirits have always been kind-hearted and like to save people, you just need to pretend to be wounded......"
The origin of this plan was that she had recently found traces of ginseng in a mountain that was suspected to have grown sperm, and there seemed to be several, and this discovery immediately made her feel evil.
After all, ordinary medicinal herbs are already good for cultivation, and if it is a refined herb like this, and ginseng can be refined into an elixir and taken it, I am afraid that it can also improve cultivation for decades, to say the least!
If there is more than one ginseng plant, after you completely digest the aura in it, it will be no problem to skyrocket your cultivation for a hundred years!
When the time comes, he will be strong, and he will take revenge on his husband and daughter, won't he be able to capture it?
Now it's just a matter of waiting for those prey to fall into your hands......
