The forest at night is not quiet at all, and there is constant noise all around. Insects lurking in the dirt, wandering among fallen leaves, and poisonous snakes that seem to pop out and bite you at any time are intimidating.

Truth be told, even today, I'm still cautious when I walk through the forest at night, and if you don't keep a vigilant heart, the whole forest could swallow you.

I made a simple torch out of dry twigs and some dry firewood that was easy to ignite, and I didn't even know where I was when I got lost in the forest. Walking very slowly, the eyes and ears must maintain the highest degree of vigilance, not only to pay attention to the feet, but also to pay attention to whether there is any abnormal noise.

In this situation, Lingqian will definitely not give up with me, as for the three earth beasts who can't keep it, they also hold a grudge, especially the ghost tiger, one of their teeth has been broken, and we, the humans, have already become its mortal enemies.

"Goo...... Goo ......"

Suddenly there was a strange cry in the woods, like some kind of bird, and I stopped and looked around. I couldn't see anything in the darkness, the light of the torches was too limited, and suddenly, a black shadow flew from a distance, and the wings flapped violently and swept over my head at once, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly crouched down, and almost burned my head with the torch.

The shadow landed on a tree branch not far behind me, and when I looked back at the torch, it turned out to be an owl-like bird that had just flown by, and it turned its head in a daze, its eyes staring straight ahead, and its mouth at the same time making the "cooing" sound it had just heard.

The old people all said that it is not a good thing to hear the cry of owls at night, how can there be owls in the Great Black Mountain, I don't know, but since I saw it, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

If you get lost in the forest, it is naturally good to have a compass, and if you go in one direction, there is always a chance to get out. But if you don't have a similar tool, rely on the position of the stars in the sky to orient yourself. I tilted my head back, faintly visible through the dense foliage, and smiled self-deprecatingly, saying to myself: not too unlucky, at least I can see the stars.

Raising his feet and holding the torch, he continued to walk forward, walking in the direction of the North Star for about ten minutes, and I don't know if I felt that something was wrong, or if there was a change in the forest, and the temperature around me seemed to be dropping.

I tightened my clothes, and when I came out, I was a little thinner, and now I feel cold. However, the unfortunate thing was not only this, the torch in his hand seemed to be almost unable to hold on, the flame was beating so violently that most of the torch had been burned black, and large pieces of charred wood were falling. If there is no fire, the night is even more difficult.

I quickened my pace, at least finding a place to settle down before the flames were extinguished. I didn't have time to set up camp, so I walked around and came across a stout tree that required at least three people to hug it, and where I could see a huge branch, which might allow me to cope with it for the night.

As the night grew deeper, I lay among the intertwined branches, the torches had already been extinguished, I tried to curl up, it was difficult to fall asleep in such an environment, I don't know what time it was, and the sky showed no sign of brightening. Maybe it was one o'clock in the morning, maybe it was later, I seemed to feel something was wrong in a daze, the insects around me were getting softer and softer, only the "rustle" sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves, I suddenly woke up from my sleep, opened my eyes and looked out. It was still pitch black, but the atmosphere wasn't right.

Maybe it's because of the practice of "Wudang Five Elements Gong", I have a sense of the qi wandering around, if the qi is not right, then something is wrong.

Squinting his eyes and looking ahead, he couldn't see anything in the woods, but his whole heart hung up. Still something wasn't right, I felt something approaching, the cold wind whistled again, I shivered a few times, and then I saw something moving on the ground.

It was like a small dirt bag that was inconspicuous at first, but it was only noticed by me after crushing the fallen leaves and the sound of branches. Little by little, the bag expanded into a rectangle, and when I looked down from above, it looked a bit like a human being.

How could such a strange thing happen in the middle of the night in this forest? I don't want to meet some earth beasts?

I couldn't give an exact answer in my heart, so I held my breath and continued to watch.

The dirt bags on the ground were quiet after being uplifted for a while, and countless green lights suddenly floated in the forest in all directions, these lights looked greenish, at first I thought they were the eyes of flying insects or some wild beasts, but when these green light clusters got closer, I found that these light clusters in front of me were actually all flames, burning green fireballs!

In the early years, I heard about ghost fires, and legend has it that this is a little ghost wandering in the underworld, and after coming to the yang world, he has no body to stay, and he floats in the air. In the past, I used to be a joke, but I never thought that I would meet it today!

I didn't dare to speak, and I didn't even try to breathe as much as possible, and I heard that these little ghosts would attack them in droves if they found a living person, and I didn't want to be this unlucky bastard.

The ghost fires came from all directions, and it seemed that they were going to the same destination, but I didn't expect them to all gather around the dirt bag under the tree, floating around the dirt bag, and I was even more curious, what was hidden in this dirt bag?

The ghostly fires gathered more and more, illuminating the originally dark forest a lot, and I shrunk back as much as possible not to expose myself.

At this moment, a ghost fire floated lightly, landed on top of the dirt bag, spun around a few times, and suddenly a hand reached out from the earth bag, and grabbed the ghost fire floating above, the ghost fire seemed to be very painful after being pinched, and there was a terrible and terrible scream in the forest, which sounded a little like a child's voice.

"Ah...... Ah......h

The sound of crying and the cry of pain made the atmosphere in the whole forest suddenly become gloomy and terrifying. Hiding in the trees, I could almost conclude that the terrible cry was coming from the ghostly fire caught below. If these ghost fires are really transformed by ghosts, then what is it in the dirt bag that dares to catch ghosts?

The surrounding ghost fires were obviously taken aback, and hurriedly retreated, the ghost fires that were caught were constantly squeezed by the big hands, and finally only saw the light shine, and the flames scurried around, scattered on the ground and gradually extinguished in the cold wind.

"Chatter......

A hoarse and eerie laugh came from inside the dirt bag, and a large amount of dirt was scattered on either side, as if something was about to crawl out of the dirt. I scolded in my heart: Damn, it's really eight lifetimes of blood mold, can't I spend the night in peace? What the fuck is this!

A black thing crawled out of the dirt bag, and after a closer look, the black thing should be clothes, and the whole buried under the dirt bag seems to be a real person.

I instantly thought of what Beads had said before! There is also a record of zombies in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", zombies do not only appear in Xiangxi, but in the mountains and forests of the world, but there may be zombies in places where the yin qi is heavier. Any dead earth beast, spirit, and of course humans will have the potential to turn into zombies. Zombies can't see the sun, and if yang energy enters the body, they will die, so if there is no place to hide during the day, they will dig a hole in the ground and find a place where there is more yin energy to hide. When I first walked into this forest, I felt the cold was pressing, I am afraid that this place is not small, and it is under the big trees, and it is very likely that there are zombies buried in the soil bag, and now in the dead of night, it may be out to move!

However, do zombies laugh? Anyway, in the old movies and videos I watched, zombies didn't have a high IQ, and they couldn't laugh.

The laughter in the forest lasted for about ten seconds, and the black shadow on the ground stood up with a "whirl", and a large amount of dust shook down from his body. I frowned, I don't know how to deal with zombies at all, I heard Zhuzi say that even some people who are Taoist will die if they encounter zombies, I'm lucky that I'm in the tree now, if it's on the ground, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape today.

The black shadow's hair was so long that it almost covered its entire face, and the black clothes it was wearing looked a bit like a shroud, and what frightened me the most was its nails, which were black and long, and even glowed slightly under the light of the ghost fire!
