Coming out of Buzhou City, Duan Feng and his party traveled west for five days, passing through Xiaoliang City, but the time was urgent, so they did not stop, but only replenished some food.

After two more days of westward travel, the road became more and more rugged, and in the distance, the mountain peaks in front of me were faintly visible, and the people on both sides of the road became more and more sparse.

Passing through a valley flanked by dense woods, a potholed path leads into the valley with sparse weeds and muddy due to the recent rain.

According to locals, this valley is called the Ghost Cry Pit because people often hear the sound of ghost screams coming from the depths of the valley at night. Originally, this road was an official road, and it used to be a busy trade route, but later the merchants who passed through here often disappeared inexplicably, so the locals thought that the ghost cries were made by the ghosts of these merchants, and since then, few people have passed here.

At the entrance to the valley, everyone saw a dilapidated pergola, which used to be a tea shed, but after the decline of the trade road, this tea shed was abandoned, and now there are several dusty tables and chairs in the tea shed.

"According to the locals, if you go around the valley, two hundred miles to the north is Xiaoyun Mountain, and three hundred miles to the south is Yecheng, no matter which way you go, you will have to walk at least three more days. Han Qing explained based on the information obtained.

"Three days is too long, we don't have that much time. Duan Feng denied.

"Then you can only go through the Ghost Cry Pit. Han Qing responded.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

At this time, it was getting late, and everyone simply cleaned up the tea shed, planning to rest here for one night and hurry tomorrow morning. At night, as the villagers said, there were bursts of ghost cries from the valley, and the sound was terrible and endless, which made people's hearts creepy. Standing on a high place, you can faintly see the ghostly fires floating in the valley.

Duan Feng was lying on the bed made of hay, looking at the stars through the tattered roof, he felt a little chaotic in his heart, he recalled all the things he had done since he escaped, and he needed to reorganize his thoughts.

He was originally the son of a family in Phoenix, but now he has become a wanted criminal, and his friends are also affected by him, and he feels that his life is extremely bad.

But he was not willing to bow his head, he knew that that kind of peaceful life was irreparable, and now there were only two things he needed to do, one was to collect the magic sword to rescue his friends, and the other was to find out the truth about the murder of his family.

He has always felt that the murder of his family is definitely not the result of the struggle for power with the Liu family, there must be a deeper reason behind this, and he once felt that his father was not dead, and he needed to know the truth, even if it was a terrible truth.

As the night deepened, the shrill ghost cries in the valley in the distance came and went, and a cold air gradually surrounded the entire grass shed, and Duan Feng couldn't help but hug his body.

Early the next morning, the sun was already shining and the sun was warm, Duan Feng stretched his waist, woke everyone up, packed his luggage, and entered the valley.

As soon as I walked into the valley, I felt a cool breeze hit me, and the valley was narrower than it looked from the outside. The trees on both sides shaded the sky, and the already dark valley looked even colder. From time to time, the sound of tigers roaring and dragon roaring came from the mountains on both sides, which made people's hairs stand on end after listening to them.

Due to the rugged mountain road and the muddy water on the road, everyone led the horses slowly along the rugged mountain road.

Through the dense foliage, Duan Feng found that it was close to noon at this time, and when he looked back, it seemed that the road had already been flooded by miasma, and Duan Feng suggested that everyone take a break.

Everyone didn't expect this valley to be so long, and they still couldn't see the end after walking for a long time, and the peaks on both sides were even steeper. Along the way, people will find the ruins left by the past merchants from time to time, and even some mutilated bones. The bones looked more like they were caused by a beast attack than a so-called ghost, and the crowd relaxed a little when they saw this.

"What the hell is here, it seems that the locals are scaring themselves. Liu Yu rubbed his sore feet slightly and complained.

Everyone was very tired along the way, and no one paid attention to Liu Yuwei's complaints, Duan Feng just smiled and said, "It's better to be careful." ”

Everyone rested in place, while Han Qing and Su Yanjun went to the front to explore the way.

After a while, I saw the two of them running back in a hurry, and in order to walk to the front, Han Qing shouted: "Someone is coming in front!"

"Who is it?" Duan Feng asked.

"It seems to be a caravan!" Han Qing wiped his sweat and came to Duan Feng with Su Yanjun and the two of them.

"Everyone be vigilant!" Duan Feng instinctively felt that something was wrong, "How could a caravan suddenly appear on the abandoned trade road?"

"Maybe they don't know that the business road has been abandoned?" Liu Yuwei said.

"Impossible! Since it is a caravan, they must know the trade routes well, and even if they have never traveled before, they will inevitably inquire in advance. Ouyang Xuan, who was silent along the way, suddenly spoke, "For the sake of safety, everyone should quickly retreat to the mountain and take shelter for a while." ”

"What are you afraid of! Can you still meet ghosts in broad daylight?" Liu Yu sneered slightly.

Ouyang Xuan took a deep breath, and she tried to avoid arguing with Liu Yu along the way.

"Miss Ouyang is right, it is better to be cautious. Duan Feng said and led everyone to climb up the mountain.

Everyone climbed the hillside and hid in the dense forest, silently observing the situation of the team.

After a while, a procession appeared in everyone's field of vision, this team numbered a hundred people, and it was also driving a dozen carriages, which were full of goods and covered with gray canvas.

This is obviously a caravan, but as Ouyang Xuan said, this road has been abandoned for many years, and accidents often occur, how could this caravan pass by here so blatantly.

Judging from the few leaders on horseback in front of the caravan, this was not an ordinary caravan, and these leaders knew at a glance that they were people who practiced martial arts, and their martial arts were not low. Most of the people in the team were also armed, and each of them was extremely strong, not a newcomer.

Duan Feng felt that something was wrong and decided to follow the back of the team to find out. Just as Duan Feng was about to descend the mountain, a cool breeze suddenly swept through the valley, startling countless birds in the forest.

"Wait!" Han Qing hurriedly grabbed Duan Feng.

Everyone squatted in the grass and watched the development of the situation quietly, at this time the caravan also stopped, the leader of the caravan waved his hand back, and everyone drew their weapons and assumed a defensive posture, as if to meet an attack.

At this time, the already gloomy valley gradually became darker, and suddenly several gray-white cloud-like objects flew towards the caravan from the other side of the valley. The leader hurried to the back of the caravan and ordered everyone to set up their formation.

I saw these white clouds getting closer and closer, and faintly bursts of sound came from the clouds, very similar to the ghost cries heard at night.

At this time, the wind in the valley was getting stronger and stronger, and the white clouds were already flying directly above the caravan. I saw that the white clouds were constantly hovering above the caravan, and in an instant, the entire caravan was enveloped.

Before everyone could react, Bai Yun quickly left again, and the entire valley suddenly fell silent, as if nothing had happened just now, except for a broken caravan left in the valley.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour to see that everything was back to normal, they ran down the hill to the caravan. The scene in front of them completely stunned everyone, only to see that the valley was scattered with pieces of flesh and blood, while more than a dozen merchant horses were standing intact eating the weeds on the road.

The goods pulled behind the horse did not move at all, Duan Feng hurriedly walked to the side of the car, opened the goods and saw that these dozen or so carts were full of *, "This is contraband, how can it appear here?", Duan Feng thought to himself.

"Look at this. Han Qing took a waist card and handed it to Duan Feng.

"What?" Duan Feng was puzzled, "Qingshui Villa?!"

"Yes, it's really from Shimizu Villa. Han Qing found another waist tag from another piece of corpse.

Duan Feng said, "What are the people from Qingshui Villa doing here?

Han Qing said: "I only know that Qingshui Villa has business connections all over the world, but I have never heard of them smuggling." And the smuggler is still *, which is a felony of extermination. ”

Duan Feng said: "I heard that this Genting Sky has always been honest and cowardly, and has never done anything illegal and undisciplined, how can he do such a thing now." ”

Liu Yuwei said: "It must be the bastard of Yun Tianlong." ”

Duan Feng thought about it, and he was also reasonable, no matter what the truth of the matter was, it was still important to hurry, he had to hurry out of the valley before it was dark, otherwise it would be troublesome for that mass of things to come over again.

Everyone packed their luggage and hurried away, but the journey was smooth and did not encounter any difficulties.

At this time, the sky has darkened, the sun has already set, Duan Feng looked forward, still did not see the end, this time the wind is a little regretful, should not have come in the first place, if you take a detour, although it will take a few more days, but it will not be so frightened.

Everyone was also a little anxious in their hearts, and they only wanted to get out of this terrible valley as soon as possible, but the more anxious they were, the longer the valley seemed to become.

The darkness that covered the sky gradually engulfed the entire valley, and Duan Feng's heart became more and more impatient.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of them, everyone thought it was a ghost fire, but they didn't hear a ghost scream, and after a closer look, this bright light did not move, but only flickered a little, Duan Feng walked in vigilantly to see that it was a family.

This made everyone overjoyed, but they didn't expect that there were still people in this terrifying valley.

But after thinking about it, how can there be people in this barren mountains and forests, a place that is inaccessible all year round. Along the way, there was no trace of the activities of the human race, and the caravan encountered on the road made everyone's relaxed hearts tense again.

Duan Feng and the others slowly approached the light, and at this time, a small mansion appeared in front of them, waist-high wooden stake fence, surrounded by several thatched houses, and the light came from the thatched houses.

Duan Feng jumped into the courtyard, and saw a white-haired old man eating in the house through the window, and when he heard a sound in the courtyard, the old man got up and pulled out a long knife from behind the door, and came to the courtyard with a menacing attitude.
