Chapter 114: The Bones Under the Pit
When I first arrived in the village, the innkeeper who was the guide did not give me the name of the mountain in detail.
However, the whole village is next to it, and it has collapsed once, so it must be the most familiar to the locals.
Xuanxuan went straight up the mountain from under the old village along a path that had been trampled on countless times, and there had been no rain recently, so although the mountain was muddy, it was not too soft.
No matter how winding the path is, the general direction is always southeast, where there is not only the smell of a lot of green vegetation, but also the faint direction that is faintly mixed in the air.
She didn't really have much fear in her heart, and she had a deep understanding of those things to people like them who had been dealing with supernatural forces and creatures for a long time, and sometimes that's the case, and the reason why ghosts were terrifying was largely because they were mysterious.
Fear comes from the unknown, but once you have some definite understanding in your mind and are mentally prepared, this fear will be greatly reduced.
There are still three little ghosts in my house, and one of them is currently with me, even if the other party is a monster, but it will not make Xuanxuan feel afraid, she is more worried...... Worried about Hao Dalong, whose whereabouts are unknown.
At this time, the two-headed demon hid in the shadows again, and did not know where to peep in an obscure place, just like a poisonous snake ambushing its prey, it could not stop there, it must be waiting for the opportunity......
There are some footprints on the ground, but not one or two... Maybe it's because some of the villagers follow the trail to the mountains during the day.
But Xuanxuan noticed that there were indeed some traces that had only been made not long ago, such as some broken weeds and leaves on the side of the road, and there was an imperceptible track, which could be found by shining a flashlight on a closer look, which looked very similarly ...... It's like dragging something left.
It was very dangerous to walk alone on the mountain road in the middle of the night, and she had to be cautious, so the pace was not very fast, in case she didn't wait for the demon to make a move, and she fell first or something... That would be embarrassing.
It's already autumn, but the vegetation is still relatively green among the mountains like this, but... Along the way, I didn't find any wild flowers, not a single flower.
The little ghost has been walking in front of him to explore the way, and even this out-and-out ghost thing like it is a little uneasy in this kind of place, although he can't speak, but this little fat man is just like an ordinary child, trembling, and he doesn't dare to continue to go deeper.
The trail seemed to have come to an end, as the surrounding branches and weeds were getting denser and denser, and Xuanxuan took out a small jumping knife from her bag, and cut it if there were thorns or something.
At this time, her position was almost halfway up the mountain, and the mountain itself was not high, and after walking here, she finally found a clue on a scattered branch... It's a strip of cloth from a strip of clothing.
If it weren't for this branch just in front of it, it wouldn't be easy to spot.
Xuanxuan shone the flashlight, trying to determine whether this strip of cloth was from Hao Dalong's body, the light had just hit it, and among a cluster of dense leaves behind this branch, a quiet and beautiful face was lying there, Xuanxuan looked at it for a second...... The complexion of that face instantly changed from fair to iron-blue, and when he opened his cherry mouth, he spewed out a scent.
This sudden spray made Xuanxuan instinctively stumble, and her first reaction was to quickly close her eyes, but the hand holding the knife was also out of defensive instinct, and at the same time, the sharp blade was directly inserted into her face, which was only more than a foot away from her, and hit her forehead......
Before Xuanxuan could open her eyes, she heard a scream that did not belong to a human being, and the dense grass and branches in front of her trembled, as if something was crashing inside.
When the tip of the knife pierced the face, it didn't have bright red blood on its forehead, but a dark green viscous slurry, which didn't have that breathtaking aroma, but instead filled with a disgusting stench...
And from the grass and bushes next to her, six or seven vines flew out, and the heads of these tentacle-like vines really became like real snakes, split into four petals, and bit at her.
These tentacles are as fast as lightning, and in such a place with mixed vegetation, it is difficult to guard against.
However, they seemed to be very jealous of something on Xuanxuan's body, so they paused in mid-air and shrank back in gray.
The body of the demon, that is, its two beautiful heads, escaped into the grass in pain, this time it was not only Xuanxuan herself here, Gu Mantong's reaction was faster, and he also followed into the cluster of bushes, for a while, only heard a soft sound, and the flashlight did not know where it flew......
"Cough cough cough cough~~" Xuanxuan choked on powder from her mouth and nose, and didn't notice the situation under her feet, so she stumbled and threw herself forward.
It turned out that this dense bush was like a trap laid by hunters in ancient times, and there was no road ahead, but a large earthen pit that was very wide.
She landed on her ass and slid down the steep dirt pit, the knife in her hand slammed into the surrounding dirt wall, but the soil here was very loose, and it could only ease the downward trend slightly, but finally fell into the pit.
The pit was not too high, and the bottom layer was also thick soil, but there were some small wounds on the body, but it didn't fall badly.
But... As soon as she slipped down, her arm smashed against a long hard object, which I don't know if it was a stone or what, but it hurt badly.
A large poise of loose soil also fell, which was not just as simple as inhaling powder, but also choked into a few mouthfuls of soil ash.
Xuanxuan shook her head and looked up, it was dark everywhere, and she couldn't tell how deep the pit was.
Her hand inadvertently touched the hard object just now, and casually probed... Based on the silhouette and shape of the thing and that tactile sense, she quickly had a definition.
This is...... Human skeletons?!
At about the same time, Qi Yan had successfully returned to the hotel, and he was not too far away, and he was trotting all the way, so it was still quite fast.
But Qi Yan didn't expect that he and Xuanxuan had only been out for an hour and came back, Ding Lingzi's state was much better than just now, although she was still very weak, but at least she didn't moan anymore? Moaning convulsions.
Yan Bo saw Qi Yan coming back alone with a disgraced face, and he didn't follow this person behind, so he asked, "Huh?" Xuanxuan? Why did you come back alone? Didn't find the dragon? ”
Qi Yan waved his hand breathlessly, "You... Listen to me first, this is the matter...... I'm afraid it's much more severe than we thought. ”
