Chapter 128: The Misty Forest
The misty forest is in full swing
The road is dangerous when encountering evil spirits
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the entire forest outside the cave seems to be soaked in rice soup, which is suffocating and depressing.
The moonlight, faintly shining through the treetops, seemed to be spying on everything here, carefully shining in the forest.
Old Man Wu slowly got down from the stone, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the fog outside and said leisurely: "It's time!" ”
"Do you mean we're going to leave now?" Zhang Chengyong ran over and asked.
"Yes! Are you all ready? Old Man Wu asked.
"Naturally, it's already ready!" I glanced at the people behind me, and then said to Old Man Wu.
"Hmm!" Old Man Wu nodded, then pointed to a mist on the right and said, "Have you seen anywhere?" ”
I looked in the direction of Old Man Wu's finger and found that there was actually a place where the fog was much lighter, so I nodded and said, "See!" ”
"That's the way into the mountains!" Old Man Wu said slowly: "As long as you follow this path with the thinnest fog along the way, you will be able to reach the altar." ”
"Won't you come with us to the mountains?" I asked, surprised.
"I'm going to stay here and wait for someone." Old Man Wu said slowly.
"Waiting for whom?" I asked hurriedly.
"Wait for an old man from more than 20 years ago, I think he should be coming soon!" Old Man Wu looked into the distance and said slowly: "I have been waiting for this account for more than 20 years, and now it's time to settle it!" ”
"But......" Before my words could be spoken, Old Man Wu interrupted me.
I only heard Old Man Wu say hoarsely: "You don't have much time, let's go quickly!" This path will only appear for about half an hour, and after this time, it will be difficult for even me to find the way into the mountain. ”
"But where are we when we get to the altar?" I asked.
"When you get to the altar, there are two things to do. First, you need to put the Watcheye back in its place, and then complete the first step of the sacrifice according to the contents of the stone carving, you know? Old Man Wu said and handed me a black package.
I took the package and opened it to see that there was a black stone the size of a tennis ball and a large jar.
"What is this?" I looked at Old Man Wu and asked.
"It's blood! The blood of our Chimiao people, you have to complete the first step of the sacrifice, this is a must-have. Old Man Wu said.
"I see! What about the second thing? I asked.
"The second thing is that you need to solve it yourself!" Old Man Wu said, "If you can reach the altar alive, where you will see a bronze door, and behind the door is a shortcut to bypass the misty forest. Merely...... No one has ever been able to open that door. ”
"What? No one has opened it so far? I asked, surprised.
"Yes! Because no one knows how to open it! Well, enough I've said! Hurry up and hit the road! Ah Wu will escort you to a section! After the old man Wu finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to sit on the stone.
He looked at the little steamed bun that was picked up by Ah Wu, and after a while, he said to me, "I hope you can save this child." ”
"Don't worry! We'll do our best! With that, a few of us turned around and went into the mysterious forest.
The fog was very thick, and the wet cover made people feel very uncomfortable.
However, it is strange to say that the road we walked was as if there was a natural barrier, the fog was thin and light, and the feeling of being there was nothing, as if the gods in the sky were showing us the way.
The road, although it is not easy to walk, but compared to the dense fog of white flowers on both sides, we are simply a highway here.
After a few of us walked for about twenty minutes under the guidance of Ah Wu, Ah Wu suddenly stopped, he looked back at me and said, "I can only send you here." ”
As he spoke, he handed me the small steamed bun he was holding, and I took the small steamed bun and handed him to Zhang Chengyong.
"Thanks!" After Zhang Chengyong took the child, I said a word to Ah Wu.
"No thanks! The road ahead is getting harder and harder, and you're on your own! After Ah Wu finished speaking, he turned around and strode back towards the cave, he didn't walk fast, but after a few steps, the whole person had disappeared.
"Let's hurry up and go!" Looking at Ah Wu's disappearing back, after a while, I said slowly.
"Hmm!" The people behind him nodded together.
The road gets narrower and narrower the more you go.
There are more and more weeds and fallen leaves under our feet, many unknown hard beetles crawling around at our feet, and occasionally a few small turquoise snakes slowly hanging down from the trees, as if to welcome us into this realm full of death and terror.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, a few of us had been walking in this forest for about two hours, but we didn't even see a place that looked like an altar except for fallen leaves, dead wood, and poisonous insects.
The path formed by the mist began to disappear little by little.
The dense fog gradually replaced everything between heaven and earth, and the path that could have walked side by side with two strong men was barely sideways at this time.
"Why haven't you found the altar yet?" Zhang Chengyong asked anxiously: "If we go on like this, didn't Old Man Wu say that we are going to get lost in that forest!" ”
"Don't say it's you, I'm in a hurry to die!" I scolded anxiously.
But just as I finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from behind a few of us. And the person who made this scream was none other than Shi Wenjing.
I saw Shi Wenjing holding her head at this time, squatting on the ground and screaming, as if she had suddenly seen some ghost.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Chengyong ran over and asked.
"Yes...... Ghosts! Shi Wenjing shouted.
"Ghosts?" Zhang Chengyong looked at Shi Wenjing and asked, "Did I say you read it wrong?" ”
"I didn't ...... No! Shi Wenjing said this, pointing to a tree to her right. At this time, although the fog was very thick, it was already possible to see more than a dozen black shadows floating around the tree, as if they were really ghosts.
"What's that?" Xiao Ziyu asked with a frown.
Although she is strong and calm, but in this world, there is no girl who is not afraid of ghosts?
"I don't know! Check it out! I said, looking at the ethereal black shadow.
And after saying this, I turned around and looked at Shi Xueqing and said lightly: "The path formed by the fog has been completely eroded by the dense fog, so I hope you stay here and don't move in the direction we just went, although the fog can block the view, but it can't block the sound, and we will communicate with you with the sound when the time comes." So at least we can't get separated! ”
"Uh-huh!" Shi Xueqing Huo Ran nodded and replied.
"Good!" After speaking, I turned around and pulled Zhang Chengyong and ran towards the dark shadow.
The shadows of the trees flickered in the moonlight, as if the demons of hell were about to devour all those in the thick fog of the intruders.
And the ethereal black shadow is more like a lonely ghost wandering in the world, terrifying and weird, mysterious and full of death.
Zhang Chengyong and I held our breath and took the wolf's eye flashlight and touched the shadow all the way.
However, when we arrived under the tree, the two of us found that the countless flickering black shadows were actually the corpses of more than a dozen bodies that had committed suicide by hanging beams.
And these people seem to have just died not long ago, they are all wearing black foreign military uniforms, their skin colors are also different, and they have no epaulettes and ranks, it seems that they should be some international mercenary team.
One by one, these guys were hung from the tree by their belts, their tongues hung on the outermost, and their necks were dragged very long because of the hanging, but, surprisingly, these guys didn't have eyes, and everyone somehow still had a weird and terrifying smile on their faces.
"Why did these guys hang themselves here?" Zhang Chengyong said with a frown.
"The devil knows what's going on!" I scolded.
"Tell me, if you can't find your way, you won't hang yourself! Why can't you think about it so much? Zhang Chengyong said as he walked towards the black man closest to him.
I saw Zhang Chengyong keep rummaging through the man's body with both hands, looking at his pockets for a while, touching his thighs for a while, looking at his water bottle for a while, and checking his backpack for a while.
The guy kept muttering as he checked, "That's not right! That's not right! It's so weird! ”
"What's wrong?" I asked, wrinkling my head.
"These guys just died not long ago!" Zhang Chengyong said with a frown.
"What? Not long after he died? After I said something in surprise, I reached out and hugged the legs of a middle-aged Asian non-commissioned officer next to me, and then dragged his whole body "off" from the belt buckle with a hard tug. Then, I quickly unbuttoned his shirt and pressed my hand on the guy's chest, and sure enough, the man's body temperature was still there.
"It looks like I've been dead for ten or twenty minutes!" Zhang Chengyong said with a frown.
"But why did they commit mass suicide here? Where are the eyes of these guys? I said as I slowly extended my hand to the man's face.
I slowly swirled around the man's eye socket with my index finger, and I felt that there was no special scar anywhere, and the eyeball seemed to have been sucked out alive by something.
"Tianyi, come and see this!" Just when I was puzzled, Zhang Chengyong said loudly.
"What's wrong?" I turned around and walked towards Zhang Chengyong.
I saw that at this time, he was squatting on the ground and holding a person in his arms, and this person turned out to be a woman, a woman we all know.
The beautiful woman in the Rakshasa game.
At this time, she was lying in Zhang Chengyong's arms without moving, the original Qiu Bo's rippling eyes had already turned into two big black holes at this time, the blood had stained her cheeks red, her face was pale and terrible, and under the background of the mist, she looked like a demon from hell.
"Why is she here?" I said in surprise.
"She's still breathing!" Zhang Chengyong said while frowning, and placed the beautiful woman flat on the ground.
And although the beautiful woman had already dislocated her neck from the belt, at this time, she was muttering something in her mouth.
Her voice was very small and soft, and Zhang Chengyong and I couldn't hear what she was saying even though we were by her side.
"What did you say?" Zhang Chengyong frowned and leaned over as he asked.
Although the beautiful woman had lost her eyes, she seemed to know that Zhang Chengyong leaned down, so her mouth moved even more.
And her hand seemed to be about to lift up to pick something out, but her hand just moved, and fell heavily to the ground.
