Chapter 0108: Footprints in front of the stone cave

We walked very smoothly, it was indeed a lot easier to have Ah Keong to lead the way, Ah Keong was very talkative, and said a lot of local rumors along the way, and Ah Keong took us into a cave when it was dark.

There were a few piles of burnt ashes left in the cave, which was supposed to be a place for those who entered the mountain to take refuge from the wind and rain, and the fat man and the big tooth brought firewood, and we lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, so that there was no need to worry about wild beasts coming in at night.

Don't look at it as just an ordinary fire, it is still very particular, and it must not be lit in the cave, because the space is limited, and if you light a fire inside, it is very likely that there will be a lack of oxygen.

And just like that, we spent the night in the cave.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw Cuong squatting on the ground, and I walked over and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"These footprints."

Only then did I realize that there were several strange rows of footprints on the outside of the cave, and the footprints were very neat, and I was sure that those footprints were definitely not human footprints.

The dirt outside the cave is slightly wet, so there are footprints.

"Could it be left from before?"

Ah Qiang shook his head, "No, I deliberately looked at it yesterday when I was lighting the fire, and there were no footprints at all, they must have been left last night." ”

I squatted down, and these footprints had a common feature, the first thumb of the foot was very long, and it should be very hard to walk, so each footprint would leave a very long, deep toe mark in front of it, and the rest of the footprints would be relatively light.

The strange behavior of Ah Qiang and I attracted the attention of the fat man, and he followed, "Hey, how can there be so many footprints!" ”

I stood up and looked at the rolling mountains in front of me, there must be a lot of secrets hidden here, we people slept well in the cave last night, and even so, if there were really beasts or other things passing by, we could still hear it,

"Leave that alone, keep going, and if you find a beast or something else, Cuong can just run with us."

Cuong nodded, "Don't worry, I'm familiar with this area, and I haven't heard of any beasts." "I saw Cuong take out something from his bag, and it was actually the kitchen knife that cut vegetables.

"Let's go."

We left the cave and climbed up the ridge, and I couldn't help but look back, and suddenly realized that the moment I turned around, several shadows disappeared at once.

Could it be that I am dazzled, the leaves below show dappled shadows under the cover of the sun, and when the wind blows, it is easy for people's eyes to have an illusion.

I quickly followed, and just as we were climbing up, a couple of people literally walked out behind us.

"Be careful, don't let those people find out."

"Big brother, do you need to be so careful? It's not easy to deal with just a few pieces of waste and a few pussies. ”

"You kid just don't have a brain, if you want to deal with them in the town, you can do it, the boss wants what they find, keep up."

"Let's go."

What I saw wasn't hallucinations, these were real, there were real people following behind, and there were quite a few, and those people were carrying guys in their hands.

We followed Cuong all the way up and soon reached the top of the mountain, which was just one of the mountains.

"Let's take a break."

I walked over, Mu Ruohua stood on it and looked up, there are many mountains here, there are many roads, and no traces were found along the way, so even if Ah Qiang led the way, it is still uncertain that this road is the one that Mu Ruohua's father and those people walked at the beginning.

Once you have the wrong direction or location, or miss a place along the way, you can't find it at all.

"Brother Qiang, which direction will you go next?"

Ah Qiang pointed to the two very high mountains in front of him, "There is Shuangwang Mountain, I heard the old people in the town say that the mountain is the tomb of the prince, when I was a child, I often saw people in the town bring tools to dig on Shuangwang Mountain, but unfortunately, I didn't dig anything after digging for so long, and every time I went, someone would die inexplicably, and in the end no one dared to go up." ”

"Shuangwang Mountain!"

I did a quick search in my head, whether there has been a prince called Shuangwang in history, there should not be, the mountain in front is higher than the back, since it is called Shuangwang Mountain, it is very likely that there were two princes who lived here, so there will be such a name.

I compared it with my hand, the mountain is very high, and it will take at least two days to go up from us if it goes well, Mu Ruohua didn't say anything, she should have acquiesced to Ah Qiang's proposal, after all, her father was doing archaeological work, and the most likely place to appear was the location of the ancient tomb.

Don't forget the photo from the photo studio, from Cuong's mouth, I know that these people have entered here more than once, and they must have found something.

We rested for a while and kept walking, and the people kept following us, and Cuong stopped, and I walked over, and he was looking at a tree, and it was just a very ordinary tree.

What is he looking at?

The marks on the tree, the trunk left a white scar, from right to left, from our position it looked like an arrow, I touched it with my hand, and the white scar was covered with that sticky liquid.

"It should have been left not long ago."

Ah Qiang nodded, "Yes, if it was left before, there would definitely be no sap flowing out, and this mark should have been left the day before we arrived here." ”

"That is, someone went into the mountain before us!" Mu Ruohua's eyes were cold and looked at the traces left on the tree, there would be no mistake, in addition to us, there were other people.

"Actually, this is also normal, every year because of that legend there are many people who come here to hunt for treasures, and many people are worried about getting lost, so they will leave marks in their own way."

Ah Qiang is a mountain expert, and what he said is also reasonable, driven by interests, even if people who enter Shuangwang Mountain will be inexplicably unlucky or even die, there will still be those who are lucky and will not hesitate to take risks for the sake of benefits.

"Everyone be careful, we're just looking for someone, so even if someone passes in front of us, it won't affect us much." After I said this, the fat man and Big Tooth picked up the stick in their hands, especially Big Tooth, who looked nervous.

Probably because of the markings on the trees, our speed slowed down, and it quickly got dark, and the jerky that Cuong gave us had already eaten, but fortunately we still had dry food on our bodies.

"How's it going to be here tonight?"

It's a relatively flat place with a few rocks on it, probably because of the ridge, and there's very little grass on the ground, so don't worry about ants or mosquitoes or anything like that.

I walked over and found the same mark on the stone again, and looked in the direction of the mark, and all the mark pairs were located on Shuangwang Mountain.

Could it be that it is reminding us that it should not be, if someone really went to Shuangwang Mountain to find the legendary tomb, I must hope that the least number of people will know.

I looked at the mark left on the stone, it must have been scratched by someone with a dagger, and the mark left by that mark happened to be the most obvious place on the whole stone, so I was sure that the person in front of me was carrying us up in this way.

If so, for what purpose?

Mu Ruohua walked over and also saw the traces on it, she didn't say anything, probably because she had experienced a lot of things, and she wouldn't care about many things, and even if she was in danger, Mu Ruohua would not give up looking for her father.

In the middle of the night, when I was dazed, I suddenly felt something pulling at my bag, and I woke up all of a sudden, and saw a black thing in front of me, and a pair of shining eyes looking at me.

"Damn."

I jumped up all at once, the thing seemed to be startled, took a few steps back and didn't run away, I don't know when the fire was extinguished, I turned on the flashlight, and finally saw that it was actually a small boar.

"Fuck off."

The thing looked at me, although it was not a particularly large one, and it was still scary to look at the fangs sticking out of the front of the boar's mouth, and if it rushed directly, it would definitely not be able to run.

"Master Wei, get this thing to stop, and we'll have roast wild boars to eat."

I held a flashlight in my left hand and took out a dagger in my right hand, and the wild boar should have noticed the danger and turned around and ran.
