The queue into the mountain is long, and experienced old hunters in the mountains can deduce whether there are people living around by whether the trees have any signs of being cut down.

The trees in the forest are very dense, and most of them are bamboo. Verdant and endless. The road in the forest, no one has walked for a long time, and a thick layer of dry bamboo leaves has accumulated. Walk up fluffy and fluffy.

The further you go inside, the cooler it gets. Du Ruo even felt a little cold. The yin wind blew, and I couldn't help but shrink my neck.

Deep in the forest, in the thick fog, a few patches of blood-like red were faintly visible.

Du Ruo, Zhang Wurong and Grandpa Zhang walked together, Grandpa Zhang looked at the scene in the mountains, couldn't help but recall the past, and told Du Ruo and them as he walked.

"The red one is the other side flower. It is only opened in places where the yin qi is extremely heavy. Legend has it that the flowers on the other side are flowers from hell, and when people die and walk on the Huangquan Road, the bright red flowers on both sides of the road are in full bloom, guiding people into reincarnation. And this flower also blooms in the place where the dead are buried, and it can only be so bewitching when it absorbs flesh and blood. I heard that there are countless bones buried under this bamboo forest. At night, you can hear all kinds of ghosts crying and howling. ”

Du Ruo and Zhang Wurong both shivered after hearing this, and felt a chill down their backs. Du Ruo also thought of the other side tattoo on his body, and felt even more panicked.

Du Ruo has always had a lot of questions, and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa Zhang, have you ever heard, what is the reason why so many people die here?" ”

Zhang Wurong also entered this bamboo forest for the first time. In the past, his family all warned him not to go in, and scared him that there were bandits and haunted him, but they didn't explain the reason. Seeing Du Ruo asking, he also pricked up his ears to listen to them.

Grandpa Zhang fell into memories, and when he was older, it was not easy to remember things: "At that time, this land was still surnamed Dugu. ”

Du Ruo hadn't heard too much: "'Dugu'? Whose last name is that? ”

Zhang Wurong interrupted her: "Stupid! The surname of the royal family of Chu State! Continue to listen to grandpa. ”

It turns out that Chu Guoguo's surname is 'Dugu'. Du Ruozhen heard it for the first time. She stopped talking, signaling that she would not interrupt Grandpa Zhang again.

Grandpa Zhang continued to tell the story: "Liang Palace was originally Chu Palace, and the altar of Chu is said to be in the mountains and forests near Wen County. The state of Chu is very heavy on sacrifices, and the king of Chu has always been through witchcraft, and every time he performs large-scale sacrifices or rituals, he needs to kill many slaves to make sacrifices. Where rivers of blood flow, this kind of demon flower blooms. What a wickedness! ”

Du Ruo thought to himself, such a cruel country, no wonder it would be destroyed by the Liang State.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from ahead. It seems that the whereabouts of the Black Tiger Village have been discovered. Everyone tightened their weapons tightly, looking like they were waiting for a battle.

"Let's gather and go together!" The foreman organizes everyone to gather.

Du Ruo, the little man, stood on tiptoe and looked forward. Sure enough, behind the layers of trees, I saw a stockade made of bamboo. It should be the Black Tiger Village!

The ten strong men holding the seven-star chain crossbow stood in front, and the people with scythes and hoes in the back stood in the back. Proceed cautiously.

At this time, it was silent, and Du Ruo felt that the silence was a little weird. There is always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

She grabbed Zhang Wurong. Walk a little later.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wurong asked.

Du Ruo frowned and whispered, "It shouldn't be so quiet." And there is no one at the sentry post in Black Tiger Village, there is definitely a problem! ”

Indeed, nothing could be heard except the rustling footsteps of the crowd. Zhang Wurong also sensed that something was wrong.

But before the two of them could figure out what was wrong, something happened in front of them.

"Ahh ……”

The screams of fear suddenly appeared, and they became more and more poignant in the quiet bamboo forest.

"Bang... Bang... Bang". Soon, twelve wind-breaking sounds rang out. Du Ruo knew that this was the Seven-Star Serial Crossbow that had been activated.

What's going on? Is there trouble? You want to use a seven-star chain crossbow?

Du Ruo and Zhang Wurong hurriedly followed everyone forward to see what was going on.

The crowd approached the gate of the cottage and found two fresh corpses.

It's exactly the dress of the mountain bandits!

Both bodies were hit by the arrows of the Seven Star Chained Crossbow and fell to the ground. The eyes were wide and could not be blinded, and the horror and panic of death could be seen in them. Strangely, the cause of their death was not that they were hit by a crossbow arrow, but that they had already lost their breath before they were hit by a crossbow arrow.

One of the two bodies slashed a knife at the neck of the other, severing the artery. A large amount of blood is visible on the ground. The other stabbed the other in the stomach on the other side, and the white knife pierced through the flesh and stabbed out from the other side.

"What's it called, I don't see it's all dead?" The foreman hurriedly pressed the screaming companion and took away the seven-star crossbow in his hand, so that he would not shoot it at another start. After all, the arrows of the Seven Star Chain Crossbow are limited.

"Just... Just now these two corpses are standing, and they look very weird, and I'm just..."

"I usually see you five big and three rough, but I didn't expect you to be so small." The foreman gave him a disdainful look, and continued to lead the group forward, towards the stockade.

But why these two mountain bandits killed each other, no one knows.

Du Ruo also walked near the two corpses. Judging by the freshness of the corpses, the two died not long ago.

What the hell happened to the two of them!?

The two mountain bandits died in a tragic state, and blood was spilled all over the ground. Dip the surrounding land in crimson.

"Du Ruo, don't look at it, it's really crazy!" Zhang Wurong frowned, didn't dare to look more, and pulled Du Ruo away.

Du Ruo was still thinking deeply, and suddenly thought of what Grandpa Zhang said, the flower on the other side is a demon flower that blooms in a place where there is a river of blood. Sure enough, she saw a bright red flower hidden in the grass not far away!

A beam of light pierced through the dense bamboo leaves on the top, shining right on the flowers on the other side. As soon as the wind moved, the flowers on the other side swayed twice. Du Ruo only felt that the slender filigree opened its hand as if it was a demon, stretched out from hell, and took the lives of two people!

Could it be that the flower on the other side is really the flower of hell?!

"Foreman! Here's it too! ”

The scene of the Black Tiger Village was beyond everyone's expectations. Soon, more bodies were found.

At the lookout, a body was found that had committed suicide by wiping its neck.

In the kitchen, a charred corpse was found.

And in the largest hall of justice in the stockade, there were more corpses lying on the ground. They were all killing each other like the two dead bandits at the gate just now.

"Is it retribution? Before we came to settle accounts with them, God cleaned them up by himself? ”

The foreman was a little dazed, he had been fully prepared, but now he was useless. Everyone was a little overwhelmed.

"Could it be that the spoils are unevenly distributed?"

"Quite possibly! These gangsters are all doing anything for the money. ”

But Du Ruo had a deep sense of crisis, and she always felt that something was wrong.
