Chapter Seventy-Six: The Mystery of the Black Bamboo Ditch 4

Just when I thought I had gone to the underworld to report, I suddenly felt a thrill all over my body.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was tied to a high pillar, suspended in the air, and had just been doused with a bucket of water. Zheng Tian and Ai Lanlin were in the same condition as me, tied to the other two pillars.

Dream? I looked at Zheng Tian, who had just been woken up, and was dissatisfied with his hairstyle being messed up, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the crisis was not over, and a group of masked men in black robes stood next to the pillars that bound us, and they were neatly arranged in a circle, and their mouths made strange noises as if they were praying for something. I glanced at the order around my neck, but it was empty, it seemed that it had been snatched away by these guys, and I thought that they must also know the secret of the order, so I deliberately laid a net here. Judging from the current situation, this group of masked people should not have saved us in the Zanglong Mountain before, and things are really getting more and more complicated.

I glanced down, and the patriarch was standing in the center of the circle, and the order was hanging from the top of his crutch.

After the men stood below and woke us up, they began to pile up dry wood around the pillars, as if they wanted to sacrifice us as sacrifices, and this was it! I immediately struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The patriarch looked at us with a blank face and said, "The illusion of despair has caused you to surrender your souls, and the supreme soul is the best sacrifice. To keep it pure, I must now burn that filthy body to the ground. ”

Burn your uncle! I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, and Zheng Tian was also so anxious that he kicked his feet, but Ai Lanlin was quite calm, and his hand kept rubbing something behind him. I glanced at it and saw that she had an extra knife in her hand at some point.

Just as the guys were about to light the fire, the rope that bound Elanlyn had been sharpened with the knife she was hiding, and then, like Spider-Man, she slid down the pillar.

I was dumbfounded, thinking that this woman had such great ability, and it was completely the style of a female agent.

Ai Lanlin is quite kind, I didn't forget me and Zheng Tian, turned around and swished twice, cutting the rope that tied us, I just wanted to thank you and immediately screamed badly, and then Zheng Tian and I fell heavily to the ground from a height of nearly seven or eight meters.

We fell right in front of the patriarch, and I didn't care about the pain, so I quickly got up, grabbed the old man's crutches with lightning speed, and took off the order on it. The patriarch reacted, his eyes widened with anger, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but he was swept to the ground by Ailanlin's legs.

The rest of the crowd rushed up at us, and the three of us did everything we could to break out of the encirclement.

After leaving the stockade, we didn't care what direction we went, as long as there was a road, we ran around, and finally got rid of those people.

When I ran to the edge of a huge bare rock, Zheng Tian stopped me out of breath and said, "Don't ...... Don't run, if you run again, you'll die! Sit down and take a break. ”

"But we're not out of danger yet." Elanlyn shook her head.

"Now that you've got rid of those masked people, it's better to take a break for a while, there's no point in running blindly like this." I'm tired enough, I agree with what Zheng Tian said.

At this time, Zheng Tian had already taken the initiative to walk to the bare stone and collapsed, looking half-dead.

Seeing that our attitude was firmer, Elan Lin had no choice but to agree.

When I had to rest, I said curiously to Alan Lin: "You are good, how did you learn?" ”

Alan Lin looked at me and didn't speak, thinking about herself in a trance.

I felt very embarrassed after eating the closed door, and felt more and more that this female secretary who was silent was not an ordinary person, and then Zheng Tian said to me: "Chengzi, who did you say that those masked guys just now, will they be in the same group as the people we met on Zanglong Mountain?" ”

I shook my head: "It's hard to say, you see that those masked people on Zanglong Mountain have been saving us, and the group of people I met just now seem to have come for the order of the moment on my body, and they are bent on killing us." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Elanlin, who was leaning against the big tree next to me, suddenly spoke: "Did you find a problem just now?" ”

This girl usually ignores us, but now she actually took the initiative to talk to us, and for a while I actually felt like I was being pampered, and hurriedly replied: "You mean those masked people?" ”

Alan Lin nodded: "As a clan, I don't see a single woman or child in it. ”

As Alan Lin said this, I suddenly realized that all of those people were men.

"What do you think?" I asked again.

"This shows that they are not a normal thriving tribe at all, but more like a mysterious organization gathered there for some purpose." Alan Lin replied.

"Makes sense." I nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey, it's useless to talk about this now, it's better to think about how to get out of this hellish place." Zheng Tianyi spread his hands and said.

Zheng Tian is right, our backpack was thrown in the village just now, except for some bits and pieces of food in our pockets, it can be said that there is nothing left, no food and water, and we will not survive for three days without finding a way out.

I lay down on the bare rock behind me a little dejected, and suddenly realized that there was something strange about the bare rock. I had a minor in geology when I was in college, so I knew a little bit about geology, so I tapped this big dark black rock with my hand and looked at it carefully.

"What's wrong? Is there jade in this stone? Zheng Tian asked with wide eyes.

I clapped my hands, looked at Zheng Tian with disdain, and said, "I seem to know why our compass is invalid." ”

When I heard this, I also looked at me, and I went on to explain: "From the appearance and texture, this huge bare rock is basalt formed by the condensation of magma from volcanic eruptions, and the iron content in basalt is extremely high, which is easy to cause anomalies in the magnetic field, so the compass was actually reversed from north to south. ”

"Is all the black bamboo ditch mountain made up of this kind of basalt?" Zheng Tian wiped his sweat and said.

"There may be other, more special substances." I replied.

"What special substance?" Elanlyn asked.

"I don't know, and the book doesn't say it......" I said with an embarrassed shrug.

"Do you know how we're going to get out?" Zheng Tian asked.

"I don't know......," I said, "My voice was weaker.

"Hey, doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?" Zheng Tian continued to lean back and closed his eyes.

The three of us were silent for a moment, Zheng Tian suddenly said "hey" as if he thought of something, and then said in surprise: "We might as well climb to the top of that metasequoia, saying that we should stand high and see far away, the metasequoia trees here are unusually high, maybe you can see the road in the distance." ”

I gave him a blank look, "This metasequoia is so tall that I don't have a foothold, if you can climb up, I'll call you grandpa." ”

Then I had to resign myself to fate, and while speaking, Zheng Tian closed his eyes, folded his hands, and recited the scriptures in his mouth. When he opened his eyes again, he smiled slightly, and stretched out his finger to point to a bush of thorns in our southwest direction: "God said, go from here." ”

I was speechless about this, and God said? Neuropathy is right! Ai Lanlin recognized what Zheng Tian said and followed him over. I asked her why she trusted him so much, and Alan Lin replied lightly, "I believe in God." ”

excuse.me? What kind of routine is this?

It was very difficult to break through the hordes of tribulus terrestris, and besides, we had no chopping tools in our hands, only a few trees that we had picked up, so we were not happy to go at all. But compared to the loneliness of one person, I still chose the absurdity of a group of people.

It is indeed not an ordinary person to lean on the trees to play with the thorn bushes, and after walking for less than half an hour, my clothes and pants are full of holes, and there are obvious scratches on my face and hands. I couldn't help but go all the way and complain all the way that the head of the plane was blind and didn't point out a good way, and Zheng Tian didn't pay attention to me, and walked on his own.

I've heard on the news that someone has seen a giant savage covered in yellow-brown fluff in Heizhugou, and the locals are very afraid of them, calling them "Noshin Luo Apu", which means "grandfather of the mountain god". Thinking of this, I was faintly stunned, if I really met it, I would definitely be eaten alive.

When I was completely reduced to a professional scavenger, this damn thorn bush came to an end, and I was about to embrace the open land, but Zheng Tian, who was walking in the front, suddenly bent down and told us to stop.

Zheng Tian stared ahead for a while, he trembled with fear, I whispered to him what he saw, he turned his head in horror and said, "There is a human head in front!" A huge human head! ”

I was shocked, even if the human head is forgotten, it is still a huge human head, it should not be the head of this deep valley savage!

At this time, Zheng Tian's careful thorn bushes slowly approached the man's head. I wanted to find out, so I followed.

When we took a closer look, we found that the so-called huge human head in Zheng Tian's mouth was actually a bare rock shaped very much like a human head, this bare rock was backed by a mountain, and the mountains were shrouded in mist, which was very easy to interfere with people's vision, no wonder Zheng Tian was wrong just now.

But on closer inspection, this bare rock is really weird, with thick eyebrows, a high nose, and closed eyes...... The facial features are so similar to people, I can't help but wonder if this is artificially carved, but who would carve a human portrait with only a head in this barren mountain and wilderness?

Could it be that there was a caravan transporting portrait sculptures in the past that strayed into this black bamboo ditch and encountered an accident, and as a result, this person's head fell here?

Just as I was reasoning in my heart, Zheng Tian suddenly pointed to the figure and said in surprise: "Look, there seems to be something strange behind the ears of this head!"
