Chapter 346: Dead Bodies in the Wooden House
Wu Zhiyuan understood what Yu Yisu meant, this five-element formation secretly coincided with the sun, moon and stars, which was very dangerous, although the two were not proficient in the formation, but they still had some superficial understanding of this formation.
"But Ju'er, her whereabouts are unknown now, and her life and death are uncertain, so am I just sitting here and waiting?" Wu Zhiyuan asked rhetorically, even if the current situation did not allow him to look around, he would never be able to sit here in peace.
Yu Yisu took a long breath, patted Wu Zhiyuan's shoulder, and said helplessly: "Although I know that it is a trap, but it is reasonable, you should go to find it, and Uncle Shi will not stop you, you must be careful." Whether you find it or not, you will be back within an hour. β
"Hmm." Wu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, his eyes became more than a mile, and he looked at Sun Haozi in the distance, at this time he was sitting on the side of the car, swinging his legs, playing with the barge gun in his hand, looking not nervous, but a little leisurely.
Wu Zhiyuan turned around and walked into the woods on the side, in fact, now only one side of this place is a cliff, and the other three sides are full of foggy woods, he doesn't know which direction Ju'er was taken captive, he can only rely on his own feelings to find it.
As soon as you enter the woods, you will immediately be surrounded by mist, and you can barely see within three zhang, and you can't see clearly outside three zhang. There are no roads in the woods, and there are no traces of human footsteps, and with this visibility, it is difficult to see even if there are footprints.
The ground was full of dead leaves, and there was a subtle "click" of broken leaves when stepped on them, but other than that, there was no sound, no wind, no cries of birds and beasts, and there was a deathly silence all around.
The environment can affect a person's state of mind, Wu Zhiyuan's willpower is relatively tenacious, and ordinary hardships and obstacles will not make his heart shake in any way, Rao is so, after walking in this strange forest for a long time, his heart also began to breed an inexplicable anxiety and panic. This feeling came inexplicably, but it was difficult to get rid of, he simply stopped, gasping for breath while looking around.
After walking for so long, the appearance of the surroundings has not changed, it is still orderly spaced by trees and thick fog that pervades them. Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, didn't he encounter a ghost hitting the wall?
Wu Zhiyuan has also seen this kind of evil thing like a ghost hitting the wall before, it generally only happens near the cemetery, once a person enters it, he will walk around a fixed circle, but he will never be able to get out of this strange circle, and finally he will be exhausted, and at most half of the people who can survive to get out will not be able to get out.
At this time, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't tell if he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, because he didn't leave a mark along the road, so he couldn't know if he was walking in a circle, but he didn't want to get out of the woods, but to look for Ju'er's whereabouts in the woods, so he didn't care too much.
After a moment of respite, Wu Zhiyuan shouted into the woods in front of him, "Ju'er, where are you?" β
As soon as the sound came out, it disappeared into the depths of the woods, not even hearing back. There was still a white expanse ahead, and there was nothing unusual to see.
Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and the anxiety and panic in his heart swept in again, making him inexplicably irritable, and he couldn't help but punch a tree next to him to vent the depression in his heart.
Wu Zhiyuan's hand hadn't retracted yet, only to hear a "snap", and a rope-shaped thing fell from the tree and happened to fall on Wu Zhiyuan's wrist, and at the same time circled around his wrist.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be surprised, it was actually a snake wrapped around his wrist!
Almost out of instinct, Wu Zhiyuan shook his hand without hesitation, threw the snake on his wrist out, and fell into the dead leaves on the ground not far away.
At the same time, Wu Zhiyuan ran away, poisonous snakes are aggressive, if it was a poisonous snake, the flick of his hand just now must have angered it, and it would definitely attack itself after landing.
There was no way to make out the direction in the woods, and Wu Zhiyuan didn't know which direction he was running wildly. He ran a long way in one go, until he was so tired that he couldn't run anymore that he stopped, bent down, and gasped for air with his hands on his knees.
After calming down for a moment, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the dead leaves under his feet, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and muttered in confusion: "Yes, it's winter now, how can there be snakes?" β
Just in doubt, he inadvertently raised his head and glanced forward, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly saw that there seemed to be a bright light in the distance in front of him, although the fog in the woods was heavy, but the bright light still passed through the fog and reached Wu Zhiyuan's pupils.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and found that it was really a bright light, looking at the faint Cheng dΓΉ of the light, like the light of an oil lamp or a candle, Wu Zhiyuan's heart suddenly rejoiced, and he walked towards the bright light.
As the distance narrowed, the brightness of the bright light became more intense, and Wu Zhiyuan even saw the outline of a house in the layers of fog, and the bright light came from the house.
"Could it be that Ju'er was caught in that house?" Wu Zhiyuan's heart flashed this thought first, but he didn't hesitate under his feet, but instead accelerated his pace and walked forward, he didn't want Ju'er to be hurt in any way.
As his pace accelerated, Wu Zhi got closer and closer away from the house, and the exterior of the house gradually appeared clearly in front of Wu Zhiyuan.
It was a small wooden house, with only one door and one window, and the doors and windows were open at this time, and an oil lamp was placed on the windowsill, and the light jumped, which was the source of the bright light that Wu Zhiyuan had seen before.
There was no sound in the wooden house, and standing outside, I couldn't see what was going on inside the wooden house, and the mysterious wooden house in front of me revealed a strange atmosphere.
Wu Zhiyuan faintly felt that something was wrong, he reached out and pulled out the peachwood sword behind his back, used the horizontal sword as his chest, stepped on the dead leaves on the ground, and walked towards the door of the wooden house step by step.
When he walked to the door of the wooden house, Wu Zhiyuan's heart had a momentary hesitation, how he hoped that Ju'er was really in this wooden house and safe and sound. This thought is just fleeting, whether Ju'er is in it or not, you can see when you go in.
Wu Zhiyuan took a sharp step towards the door, and at the same time glanced sharply into the wooden house, the interior of this wooden house is not large, there is no arrangement inside, only a bed is placed under the windowsill, the bed is covered with a quilt, the quilt is bulging, and there seems to be a person lying inside!
"Ju'er!" Wu Zhiyuan's heart was suddenly happy, he recognized that the quilt was the one in the middle-aged woman's house before, and a long hair was exposed in the corner of the quilt, obviously it was Ju'er lying inside.
Overjoyed, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly ran to the side of the bed, and as soon as he took a step, he suddenly tripped over something, Wu Zhiyuan just wanted to go over and save Ju'er, and he was suddenly caught off guard and threw himself on the ground.
He crawled on the ground, struggling to look back, and couldn't help but be horrified, it was actually a dead man's corpse that tripped over him!
