The night in the mountains is extremely cold, probably because of the relatively high altitude, since the sun has gone down to the present, the temperature is now only four or five degrees, and the breath exhaled by everyone has turned into a white mist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few simple tents, a bonfire, everyone used the small iron pots they brought to stand on the bonfire, boiled some hot soup, and everyone sat around the bonfire.

The head of the horse road of Longhu Mountain was observing something with a compass in his hand, Liu Laodao and Master Shi Di also stepped forward to look at the compass while discussing something, the sound was very small, only a few of them could hear it, Jianjun originally wanted to go over, but seeing that the small circle formed by this group of old men was a little crowded, he had to give up.

The night came quickly, because it was in the mountains, and the wind that was originally soft during the day was like a knife at night, blowing on people's bodies with cold bones, no matter how strong the bonfire burned, it could not drive away the cold wind that blew into the bones.

In the second half of the night, Jianjun was awakened by a strange noise, and opened his sleepy eyes, and there was a white fog in front of him, and the visibility was very low, and the bonfire that was still burning before going to bed was no longer the slightest fire and temperature.

The soldiers and hunters who were supposed to be on duty around the campfire were gone.

"Master, master!" Jianjun pushed Liu Laodao, who was still asleep next to him.

"What? Don't sleep in the middle of the night and won't be in a hurry tomorrow? Liu Laodao responded with some dissatisfaction.

"Something is wrong, wake up. It seems that there are fewer people! Jianjun said in a hurried tone.

Liu Laodao immediately opened his eyes when he heard Jianjun say this, and then looked around carefully. At this time, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and because of the fog, it was not very real to see anything around. Liu Laodao took out a flashlight from the package he was carrying, and the orange light lit up directly from the dense fog, and then glanced around the camp. After a lap, Liu Laodao's face became a little ugly, and he immediately woke up everyone who was still asleep.

"Two people less! A soldier, a hunter! The soldier's backpack is still there. Liu Laodao said to the people who were woken up by himself.

"No, will it be convenient to go?" One of the Orions, who was still there, rubbed his eyes and said in an echo.

"What time do you change sentry?" Jianjun asked.

"Less than two hours." Said a military man.

"Then something must be wrong! The ashes of the campfire have cooled, indicating that the person has not been at least more than an hour. Jianjun touched the ashes of the bonfire and said.

When everyone heard Jianjun say this, their faces became gloomy, two big living people, it is impossible to disappear for no reason, if it is said that they escaped, it is impossible not to even bring food and supplies, if it is to find a convenient place, then the time is too long, even if there are wild beasts or dirty things to drag them away, it is impossible not to make a sound at all, after all, the robbery in the hands of the hunter is not an ornament.

Everyone was already sleepy, and a soldier lit the extinguished bonfire again, and the fire was blazing, but everyone's hearts were really cold, after all, they had not yet reached the mysterious stone gate, and now two people were missing. This is only the first day, there are still two days to go, and the road will be even more difficult.

"We'll wait until dawn, and if these two don't come back, we'll move on!" Liu Laodao's words broke the silence brought by everyone's contemplation.

"Master, I'm on duty in the second half of the night, you can rest." Jianjun said.

Because something happened, everyone was a little worried in their hearts, and everyone didn't sleep in the second half of the night, and Jianjun and a soldier sat quietly around the bonfire in a daze, obviously they all had their own agendas.

It was warm around the campfire, which drove away not only the bitter cold but also the heavy fog.

The mountain may be the reason for the high altitude, just after four o'clock, the sky began to whiten, and the night guard on duty gradually relaxed as the sky brightened.

After a while, seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, Jianjun called out to everyone.

The bonfire was still burning, but it wasn't violent, and Jianjun still used yesterday's pot to boil some broth for everyone and distribute it to everyone. Then they began to clean up the camp, and everyone tacitly did not mention the two who disappeared last night and have not disappeared until now, but silently made preparations before departure.

As the sun rises higher and higher, the fog gradually fades.

At five o'clock, everyone had already packed up the camp and continued to set off, the fear of Shimenguan because of the two people who disappeared last night, everyone's hearts had a little more points, and the pace of walking was very firm, but everyone did not say a word, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while. The occasional birdsong and the footsteps of everyone could not relax everyone's nervous mood, after all, everyone did not know what kind of danger lay ahead.

"Stop!" The mountain runner who had been walking in front beckoned everyone to stop moving forward.

"There could be a swamp ahead, shall we take a detour or continue on our way?"

Everyone looked ahead curiously, and saw an empty grass in front of them, with some fallen leaves on it, but they could also see that there were a lot of weeds growing on the house, which was green, but they couldn't see that it was a swamp at all.

"If it's a long detour?" The horse chief of Longhu Mountain asked.

"Well, I'll walk for about half a day!"

"Is it dangerous to walk straight over there?" Jianjun inquired curiously.

"Generally speaking, the problem is not very big, as long as everyone is careful and follows me, it will definitely pass." The mountain runner is full of confidence in himself.

In accordance with the instructions of the runners, each of them broke off a branch from the tree and used it for pathfinding, and then took off his shoes and put them in the package he carried with them. A nylon rope nearly twenty meters long ran through the waists of eleven people, tying everyone to a rope, and everyone pulled up their trouser legs and walked forward step by step with the two mountain runners in the lead.

The route of the leading mountain runner is very good, Jianjun only feels like stepping into a sponge when he steps on this swamp, it is very soft, but it is not effortless, but it does not reach the ankle, it is very soft, but it has a smell, and the taste is very strong.

The swamp is not very large, only about 500 meters, and if you follow the path led by the mountain runner, you should reach the opposite side in a distance of three or four hundred meters.

The further they went, the mudier the road became, and it took them nearly half an hour to walk a third of the way, and the physical exertion was severe. The last two soldiers opened their backpacks, took out some food, and passed it to everyone, who continued to move forward while replenishing their strength.

In the mud, Jianjun and Liu Laodao seemed to feel something unusual, and their faces changed slightly.

"Donor, let's speed up, this place is definitely not a place to stay for a long time!" Master Shi Di, who was dressed in a monk's robe, said to the mountain runner in front of him with some communication.

"I'll try my best, don't worry, don't worry, this place must be explored before you can go, otherwise it will be very dangerous." The mountain runner said to Venerable Shaddy as he stuck a branch into the dirt.

The pace of travel has become a little faster, but the speed is still very slow.
