Chapter 8:

Guo Shuai didn't say a word and followed, but Li Xiaoran hesitated slightly, and after looking at a few people in the distance, he gritted his teeth and followed

The speed of the toad was neither fast nor slow, just enough for a few people to walk, and gradually moved away from everyone's sight

"Hey, what a god!" Guo Shuai exclaimed

Li Xiaoran didn't think so, she frowned and persuaded me and Guo Shuai to go back quickly, but Guo Shuai was fooled for a while, so she had to follow behind

At this time, the toad suddenly jumped down a shallow river a few meters wide, and swam towards the opposite bank, I frowned slightly, you must know that under normal circumstances, toads do not go into the water.

Without saying a word, I rolled up my trouser legs and followed

The river water gives me the feeling that one word is "cold", cold and biting, you must know that it is early autumn at the moment, and it is no different from summer, this river water is a little abnormally cold

Guo Shuai and Li Xiaoran also went into the water at this time, and the two did not expect the river to be so cold, so they shivered when they entered the water, but fortunately, the river was not wide and the water was not deep, so the three of us quickly went ashore

"I'm freezing to death, master! Why is this river so cold! Guo Shuai sat on the ground and rubbed his hand on his calf

Li Xiaoran didn't speak, but her lips trembled a little, I tugged Guo Shuai and asked the two to hurry up, but who knew that this tug didn't move.

"Let's go!" I urged

Guo Shuai didn't make a sound, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, and followed Guo Shuai's gaze

At a glance, I froze, a chill rushed from my heels to my head, and cold sweat slipped down my vest

"It's gone, the river is gone, and a bare clearing appears where the river used to be."

Li Xiaoran's face was pale, obviously frightened, this was really weird

"Brother Long......" Guo Shuai turned his head and called me, and I could hear the tremor in his voice

I took two deep breaths to adjust my breath, and the more I was at this time, the more I could not panic

I said to Guo Shuai and Li Xiaoran: "Don't be afraid, let's go back and try"

Li Xiaoran grabbed my sleeve and followed me, and the three of us walked towards the clearing!

However, these few steps are as long as a century, and no matter how we walk, we cannot get close, and it is as if the open space will never be approachable

Li Xiaoran panicked first, she pulled my sleeve and kept asking me what to do, Guo Shuai also looked at me, only I knew the most among the three", and instantly I became the backbone of the two, but the pressure also followed

I knew that at this time, I couldn't mess with myself, and my head began to run at a rapid pace, and a story about ghosts hitting walls that circulated in the countryside crossed my mind, but I immediately denied it

The heart said that it could be that the beast became a spirit and deliberately cast a spell to confuse us?

Thinking of this, I bit my index finger, recited a mantra and wiped it on my eyes, and looked again. Hey, what's going on, it's still bare ground......

I gritted my teeth and said, "It seems that it is not possible to go back, let's continue to go inside and try, remember to follow closely, don't look around."

The toad lay not far away, and as I approached it, it began to jump again, as if it had just been waiting for us

In this way, we followed the toad out of the distance, until a forest appeared in front of us, a strange wood

In early autumn, it should be the time when the plants are green, but this forest, not to mention the lush foliage, is directly like withering in the depths of winter, the leaves are not not to mention, and the trunks are all withered, the key is that the scorching sun is in the sky, but there is no sunlight in the woods

These trees are huge, and as far as I can see, the thinnest ones are as thick as a human waist, and the thick ones need to be surrounded by two people

The leaves on the ground had rotted for I don't know how many years, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting fish

"Quack ......" the toad screamed, jumped to the side, and disappeared in a few clicks, and by the time I found out, it was too late

Guo Shuai and Li Xiaoran couldn't help but lean towards me: "Brother Long, what the hell is this place, it feels so infiltrating, I feel uncomfortable"

"You two are here first, I'll go in and have a look." I left a word and stepped cautiously into the woods

It's cloudy, it's very cloudy, it's the first thing I feel when I step into the woods, the sun is blocked by something invisible, I can't help but shiver and continue walking inside

It's soft underfoot, a bit like stepping on a sponge

Suddenly, a cold wind struck and blew along my neck, as if someone was blowing on my neck I hurriedly looked back, but found that there was nothing behind me, where there was half a figure, and Guo Shuai and Li Xiaoran were not far away

Is there a delusion? I prayed that I felt that something was wrong, after all, it was ...... in broad daylight,

I kept walking, but to my strange thing, I always felt that there was a gaze staring at me from behind, almost against my backbone, cold and cold......

It made me feel a deep chill rising within my body

Looking at the strange dead forests around me, which were lifeless, or rather lifeless, I had a bad feeling

Suddenly, I was pushed hard in the back, my body stumbled, and I almost fell, I thought it was Guo Shuai who deliberately scared me, and I was angry at that time, and I opened my mouth to scold while turning around

And when I turned my head, I closed my mouth because my back was empty and there was no one at all.

I raised my eyes and saw Guo Shuai and Li Xiaoran standing in the distance, and what surprised me was that they were glaring at me angrily, and their eyes were full of hatred

Suddenly, the two of them came running like me quickly, and Guo Shuai grabbed my neck and lifted me high, with amazing strength

**Lose your marbles! I shouted in my heart

I struggled, kicked my legs wildly, and at the same time used my hands to break Guo Shuai's wrist, but it was useless, his strength was too great

Soon, I rolled my eyes as I was pinched, my face was purple, and I felt a breath of death approaching me.

At this moment, I felt something like water, pouring it on my head, with a bad smell, but I felt inexplicably relaxed at this moment

I heard an anxious call in my ears: "Brother Long, don't scare me, what's wrong with you......"

"Smack", someone gave me a slap, and there was a burning pain in my face, and I opened my eyes

"Whew......" I pulled out a long guttural voice, inhaling air greedily as I fell to my knees and coughed violently.

Half a ring, I'm back to normal

"Brother Long, are you okay?" Guo Shuai squatted beside me and asked with concern

"What happened just now?" My voice was a little hoarse

"I still want to ask you, what kind of nerves do you have, what are you doing by pinching your neck?"

Touching Wenyan's heart was stunned, and asked, "Are you sure I pinched it myself?"

"Nonsense, we're both looking at it, I don't believe you asked Xiao Ran!" Guo Shuai's eyes turned to Li Xiaoran

Li Xiaoran nodded in fear

"Tell me what's going on?" I was anxious

Guo Shuai's face was not very good-looking and said: "At that time, you entered the woods and let us wait outside, who knows that you didn't take a few steps, you seemed to have tripped over something, so you looked back at the two of us, and then you went crazy and began to choke your neck!" ”

"And then? How did you wake me up? I asked, grimacing

When Guo Shuai heard this, he shrunk his neck and said: "That, you were very strong at that time, and we couldn't break your hands at all, I had an idea, and I thought that the Nine Beast Dragon Pot is a Taoist weapon, maybe it will be useful, just pour it like that, you really let it go."

"You douse me with urine?" I gritted my teeth, and my face turned black!

"Isn't there anything I can't help but how scary you were at the time." Guo Shuai said aggrievedly

I think about it, if you don't give me such a moment, maybe I will explain, touched my hot face and said to Guo Shuai: "I'll settle accounts with you later"
