Chapter 225: Into the Deep Forest For Brother Yu Feng~
According to Xia Mengyao's suggestion, there must be a person to play the striker, and this person who plays the striker is something that Hu Heidan has never seen, pretending to be a tourist who travels the mountains and rivers to investigate Hu Heidan's situation, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, in order to win all battles, especially to deal with a dangerous and powerful character like Hu Heidan, you have to be more cautious.
Zhang Yunhao touched his chin, thoughtfully, glanced at Liu Xuyang, and said suspiciously: "Brother Liu, didn't you go to inquire?" Why do you need to be inquired? Isn't that redundant? Liu Xuyang said: "Because I have met Hu Heidan, I have also fought with him, and when I went to him this time, I avoided startling the grass and snakes, and did not dare to get too close, so I don't know some of his situation there." ”
"In that case, then I'll play the striker to open the way for you!" Zhang Yunhao agreed very boldly.
So, we planned that Zhang Yunhao would be at the front, a mile or two away from us, and keep in touch with his mobile phone at any time. Let's not rush into the village, after Zhang Yunhao has found out about Hu Heidan's situation, we will go to Hu Heidan, cooperate with Zhang Yunhao inside and out, and annihilate Hu Heidan and his strange corpse team in one fell swoop.
It seems like a perfect plan, but I always feel like it's a bit too much.
Because Hu Heidan is digging graves and refining corpses, it is nothing more than that there are already refined monster corpses, and we have discussed for a long time how to deal with these monster corpses. In case I get scratched and bitten by a monster corpse, I have medicine here, but how do I kill those monster corpses? I immediately remembered the scene when Song Tianyou shoveled a bloody corpse to the ground with a pull, so I suggested using a shovel. Liu Xuyang said that it is too inconvenient to use a shovel, so it is better to use a machete directly, because to deal with strange corpses, you have to cut off their heads, and the most handy guy in cutting off the head is probably a knife.
But what era is it now, unlike making martial arts movies, any person walking on the street may carry a scimitar or hold a sword, now if you hold a sword with a sword, it is dangerous goods, not to mention that the sword is seized, you still have to be locked up! And where to find a machete that can be used against a bloody corpse now? So I think it's better to use talismans, Zhong Ling'er is a teacher of the fish Taoist, and he should also have a hand in dealing with strange corpses, Wu Lele said extremely unhappily: "Why do you have to call her?" So many of us have our own unique skills, are we still afraid of a few corpses? ”
But we can't go empty-handed. Fighting monster corpses with bare hands, that is a reckless man. Liu Xuyang said that we can go to some blacksmiths and buy a few machetes, that is, the kind of knives used to chop wood and trees, sharpen them a little sharper, and naturally there is no problem in dealing with strange corpses.
We set out that day, and when we arrived at the town closest to Hu Heidan's village, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and we inquired in the town where there were blacksmiths, and a man in his forties said, "What age, there are locksmiths, and where are there any blacksmiths?" "There was no way, so we ended up going to a hardware store and buying a sickle each. According to the boss, it is a stainless steel sickle, although it praises Haikou, but the blade is bright, and it does look very sharp.
After eating, we continued our departure.
According to Liu Xuyang, it takes about two to three hours to walk from this town to the village where Hu Heidan is located, and if you walk slowly, it will take four or five hours, he glanced straight at Xia Mengyao, and said that because the road is far away, and it is a mountain road, it is rugged, so don't go women, let the three of us big men go. As the saying goes, three stinky old cobblers are Zhuge Liang, and it shouldn't be a big problem for us three big men to deal with a black egg. Wu Lele and Xia Mengyao didn't agree and insisted on going.
Women don't let them have eyebrows, it's good to have a woman as a companion, at least it's not too boring along the way, men and women are together, and they are not tired of walking.
Zhang Yunhao walked in front, and we were four or five hundred meters behind him.
At first, there was a road paved with concrete, and there were houses on the side of the road, and after walking for about seven or eight miles, at the end of the road, we gradually entered a no-man's land with lush trees.
I apologized to Liu Xuyang and Xia Mengyao that it was my business to find Hu Heidan, but I asked them to come together to endure this hardship, I am really sorry. Liu Xuyang said with a big grin: "Compared with going to the ninth floor of Yinshan, this is simply a small thing. ”
As soon as I mentioned the ninth floor of Yinshan, I wanted to know what kind of place it was, Liu Xuyang glanced at Wu Lele, and said that he didn't know about this, because he had never been to it, he only knew that it was a very dangerous place. As for how dangerous it is, it can be described in four words: it will kill people.
"In that case, why go?" I asked.
Liu Xuyang said: "For us, this is our inherent duty and mission. ”
He wasn't lying, because the people of their tribe were the guardians of the forbidden book of death.
Wu Lele remained silent, then took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and suddenly said, "The mobile phone has no signal." "I took out my phone and looked at it, and sure enough, there was no signal on my phone. I said that there is no signal, we have lost contact with Brother Hao, what if he is in danger in front? Wu Lele said: "Don't worry, what danger can a dead mouse encounter?" He'll be fine even if he's in danger, have you forgotten his name? The rat is the fastest escaping animal. ”
After another trek, we climbed a stone path that winds its way up the mountain, as if it were reaching the sky.
It took us an hour to complete this stone path, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of forests, so endless that we could not see the edge, and as far as the eye could see, there were all forests, not a single village or earthy field.
"Hu Heidan can find this kind of place to refine corpses, it can be regarded as painstaking." I have to sigh.
Xia Mengyao said: "If a person wants to do something, even thousands of mountains and rivers will stop him. I continued: "Yes, the power of a person cannot be underestimated, but some people's starting point is not good, resulting in a difficult, admirable but wrong road." ”
I thought to myself, if it wasn't for saving He Shuo, I wouldn't have come to this kind of ghost place, and if I couldn't rescue He Shuo this time, I felt like I would never have a chance to rescue him in the future.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, we came to a small stream, and in the distance we saw terraces and houses on the mountainside in front of us, and the village in front of us. On a flat, smooth stone in the creek there is a larger, more striking letter: Stop. This is the mark that Zhang Yunhao gave us, and we stopped here.
After waiting for about two hours, Zhang Yunhao still didn't come back, seeing that it was getting darker and darker, I couldn't wait, worried that Zhang Yunhao would have an accident and wanted to go into the village to have a look. Wu Lele told us to continue waiting, after all, although the village in front of us is not big, it is not easy to find Hu Heidan, and it will take time to inquire about his situation.
Slowly, as night fell, it gradually got dark, and the croaking of frogs and insects continued to come from my ears. A full moon rises in the sky, and the stream gurgles, dancing with it, like a dream.
Suddenly, there was a gloomy and ugly birdsong, which I knew was called owl since I was a child living in the countryside. As soon as I heard this voice, my heart became heavy, in our rural area, there is a saying that "the call of an owl is a sign of death". This is a bad omen. Could it be that someone in our line of work will have an accident? I really hope that everyone is safe and that no one has any trouble. If something has to happen to someone, it's me, after all, everyone is here because of me.
Wu Lele said that he was going to relieve his hands, and I blurted out: "I'll go with you." Wu Lele glanced at me and said Who wants you to accompany me, it's true! I realized that I cared too much and was embarrassed, Xia Mengyao said, "Let me accompany Lele." Wu Lele said no, and then walked towards the creek alone.
After about four or five minutes, I saw that Wu Lele had not come back, and I was secretly worried, and I was about to go up to take a look, when suddenly, a figure appeared a few meters in front of me. She stood on a rock and looked at me from afar. It was too far away, and it was at night, and the light was too blurry for me to see, but I could tell from her slender figure and fluttering hair that it was a female ghost.
It is not surprising to encounter a ghost in this wilderness, and besides, this is a rural area, and now there is no one, and it is a place where wild ghosts haunt. It's just weird that the ghost is waving at me. My heart moved slightly, is she calling me over?
It seems that the ghost is somewhat familiar.
But the first time I came back here, how could there be a familiar ghost? The ghosts I know have either been destroyed or have been reincarnated, so where are the ghosts here?
And she kept waving at me, as if to say, "Come on, come on." "I thought to myself, since she called me, I am afraid that she has something to ask me, is she sick and wants me to heal her? And since she haunts here, she must know a thing or two about Hu Heidan's situation, so I might as well inquire from her. Thinking of this, I said to Xia Mengyao and Liu Xuyang, "I'll go up and have a look." Xia Mengyao said, "We'd better not move until your friend comes back." "I said it's okay, I'll come when I go. Xia Mengyao wanted to say something, but Liu Xuyang secretly stopped her.
I walked slowly towards the female ghost, but when I stepped forward, she took a step back, as if she was afraid of me. After walking for more than ten meters, I stopped, very angry in my heart, since you want me to come, why do you have to leave again when I come?
When the female ghost saw that I had stopped, she waved at me again. She's leading me somewhere. And I came up so far, why didn't I see Wu Lele? I thought that since I came, I would follow and take a look, first, I wanted to see where the female ghost took me, and by the way, I also wanted to find out where Wu Lele went to relieve him.
So, I kept following.
The female ghost turned and walked forward, walked and walked, and suddenly disappeared.
I came to the place where the female ghost disappeared and found a deep pool in front of me. This waterhole is about four or five square meters large, it can be regarded as a small pond, above the waterhole is a waterfall, about one or two zhang high, the stream water flows down from above, like a piece of white cloth, beautiful and magnificent.
The stream in the pool was pitch black, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.
Suddenly, I noticed that there was a black object in the black, and when I looked at it, my heart sank suddenly, it was a person! The man was floating on the water, his hair was long enough to cover his entire head, and his body rippled with the water as the waterfall fell.
