Chapter 556: Dark Shadows Stir
The brothers were indeed familiar with the forest.
In this kind of primeval forest, there is no path to be seen at all, but the brothers led us over the mountains and through the woods, Gao Lingkai and I quickly became dizzy, but the brothers didn't even feel lost.
The most amazing thing is that they don't even use the most primitive compass, and they rely entirely on the direction of the trees, the angle of sunlight and other factors to determine where to go.
During this period, it is inevitable to encounter wild beasts and the like, but the brothers are well aware of the habits of wild beasts, what kind of beasts are coming, and how to avoid them.
As a result, we often heard wild beasts howling along the way, and once the brothers even let us climb a big tree and see a colorful tiger walking under the tree.
But every time there was no danger, I walked in the forest for more than ten hours, and there was no major accident.
It wasn't until late evening that the brothers stopped and said they couldn't lead us any further.
But they pointed to a high mountain due south and told us that if we looked at the high mountain, we would find the temple of Kallas in half an hour.
I gave them the remaining $1,000 and consulted with them that it was almost night, and they would not be able to make the night trip.
Why don't you just wait for us here, and when we come back to-morrow, they'll still lead us out, and I'll pay them a thousand dollars more.
The brothers discussed and agreed, but they were only here to wait for us until noon tomorrow, and if we didn't come out at noon tomorrow, they would have to rush back.
In fact, I have a locator and an extra high-energy battery, but I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of what if, in case of any accident, the direction finder will not be able to take us out of the forest, and the brothers can also make a spare tire.
And the brothers are honest people, first of all, I don't mind letting the brothers earn me an extra thousand dollars, and secondly, the forest is full of dangers, and even if the brothers are very familiar with the forest, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be absolutely safe on the way back.
On the contrary, with me and Gao Lingkai following them, for them, it is equivalent to two more bodyguards with high-tech weapons.
Bidding farewell to the pair of guide brothers, Gao Lingkai and I looked at the high mountain they pointed to and continued to walk south.
Sure enough, half an hour later, I saw an empty hillside, the hillside was covered with black stones, and everywhere else was lush with vegetation, but there was no grass on this black stone slope.
At the highest point of this black stone slope, a temple stands majestically.
We didn't dare to approach the temple right away, but hid behind a big tree that we were hugging each other, and watched the movement inside and outside the temple.
The temple is very different from our Chinese temples, there are no cornices and corners, and there are no painted beams and carved buildings.
The reason why people know that this is a temple at first sight is because in front of the temple, there are two statues carved from black wood, one on the left and one on the right.
Although I don't know what kind of statue it is, I can see that the statue has the charm of Buddhist sculpture.
In fact, the entire temple covers an area of only two or three hundred square meters, which is not majestic in the eyes of us Chinese.
But it is unbelievable that there is such a temple in this inaccessible forest.
The temple was made of black stone, with logs as pillars, and the roof was made of thick wood.
Perhaps it is very old, and the wood on the roof has also become jet-black, if you don't look closely, you will really think that the entire temple is made of black stone.
At this moment, the sunset happened to be projected from the side of the temple, and the entire temple was covered with a layer of red halo, which seemed to have a majestic and solemn Buddhist atmosphere.
But if the legend is true, if this is the temple of Callas that cross-eyed, then this temple will never be the temple of mercy that good men and women yearn for, but an evil place where filth and dirt are hidden.
"What do we do now? Do you want to rush into the temple at dawn? Gao Lingkai asked me, naturally lowering his voice.
I was about to tell him that it would be safer to move again at night, when suddenly, I felt that something was wrong.
At the same time, Gao Lingkai also let out a "ah", and shouted softly: "Gao Li, look! ”
In fact, without being reminded by him, I could already see countless black shadows rapidly sliding from the roof. It felt like I was all sunbathing on the roof at first, but because I was disturbed by something, I slid down the four walls in a huddle.
As for what they were disturbed by, I don't have to guess at all, those black shadows were approaching me and Gao Lingkai after quickly sliding down the wall to the ground.
It's just a shadow, and I don't think anyone is afraid of a shadow.
Unless these shadows are like living creatures, one by one, one by one, and rapidly approaching you all over the ground, I think anyone who sees this will be frightened and furious.
I was so frightened that I couldn't help but shout: "Ling Kai, run!" ”
Gao Lingkai turned around and ran as soon as I shouted, but I was horrified to find that there was already a black shadow that had emerged from nowhere, and its front end had already climbed Gao Lingkai's legs.
I was so frightened that I shouted again: "Ling Kai inhale!" ”
At the same time, I drew my stun rod and struck it in the highest gear towards the back half of the dark shadow on the ground.
The scorching electric light struck the ground, causing the ground to make a "whoosh" sound.
But it was useless to the black shadow, which still followed Gao Lingkai's legs and quickly climbed onto Gao Lingkai's back.
Gao Lingkai turned around to look at me when I shouted the words "Ling Kai inhale".
The shadow took the opportunity to turn from his back to his front body.
I shouted again: "Ling Kai, inhale quickly!" ”
In a panic, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Gao Lingkai's clothes.
Of course, I couldn't hold the black shadow, but I hoped that the black shadow would be able to climb up my body instead, because my Qi-holding Gong could last longer than Gao Lingkai's.
But the black shadow didn't let me get my wish, and I watched as it quickly circled along Gao Lingkai's back to Gao Lingkai's front body.
Gao Lingkai, who was still running, stopped urgently, and I saw him open his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Ling Kai, don't panic, you just lean on the tree and run the Qigong, try to hold on for a long time, I'll find a way to get rid of this strange thing!" I said in Gao Lingkai's ear.
Gao Lingkai turned his head to look at me, but instead of nodding at me, his face was full of horror, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground.
I glanced towards the ground, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body, and for a moment I felt that this time Gao Lingkai and I were really going to die without a place to bury.
I saw black shadows all over the ground, tightly surrounding me and Gao Lingkai's feet.
Because they were so tightly crowded, there were no gaps between them, and the shadows of the trees overhead were completely covered by them, so at first glance, it was just a large shadow covering the ground.
However, if you look closely, you will see that they are not a single unit, but a black shadow on top of each other, and the color will be darker in the part where they are superimposed on each other.
More at our feet, there is a circle of vacant seats, and the edge of the vacant seats is constantly expanding and contracting, which is easy to think of the word "crowded".
And when I looked at those "moving" black shadows, I couldn't help but imagine the terrible situation of being covered by these black shadows layer by layer
Thankfully, that didn't happen anytime soon.
Those black shadows were strangely just encircling our feet, stretching and shrinking under our feet, and it felt like Gao Lingkai and I were watching as if we were watching as strange.
I took a breath and turned my face to look at Gao Lingkai, who also showed great surprise in his eyes.
I still don't dare to act rashly, but Gao Lingkai has been blocked by a dark shadow, and if I don't do anything, he won't be able to hold out for long.
I could only tremble and harden my head, and stepped on the black shadows that were stacked on top of each other and stretched beyond each other.
What was even more strange was that instead of clinging to my heels, the shadows crowded into each other and parted as they landed on my tiptoes, as if to make way for me.
I was drenched in cold sweat, but I reluctantly smiled at Gao Lingkai and said, "Ling Kai, look, these black shadows don't seem to have any ill will towards us!" ”
Gao Lingkai stretched his neck and pointed at his own face.
I understood what he meant, so I could only say to him: "I don't know why this dark shadow wants to harm us, you lean against the tree first, don't move, I'll go into the temple to have a look!" ”
Gao Lingkai nodded, with a worried look on his face.
In fact, I'm terrified, and the dark shadows that surround my feet don't seem to have any ill will toward us at the moment, but who knows what will happen inside the temple of Kalas?
If after I enter the temple, these black shadows will cling to my body layer by layer, then won't I be able to save Gao Lingkai and bury my own life?
But I have no way out at the moment, and even if it costs my own life, I can only take a risk.
So I still smiled at Gao Lingkai and nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped forward again towards the black shadow that surrounded my feet.
Just like when I stepped out on my first foot, as I landed on my tiptoes, the shadows crowded and rushed away, leaving me with a place on the sole of my foot, as if to make way for me, but also as if I didn't want to be trampled underfoot.
This situation made my heart more or less settled, so I quickened my pace and walked towards the temple of Karas.
At the beginning, I was scared at every step, but luckily, every step I landed, the dark shadows would give way.
It wasn't until I entered the temple and pushed open the two hidden doors of the temple that the dark shadows climbed over the threshold before me, and quickly spread the entire hall.
The floor of the temple, the offering table, and even the tall and majestic statues of the gods were all covered with black shadows.
