It is said that Zhang Hua was well prepared, so he followed the whereabouts of the criminal and plunged into the dense primeval forest of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

In fact, in the forest, it is not completely wandering. In general, when traveling in the primeval forest, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment according to the growth of trees, light conditions, geographical conditions and personal experience. Because the ultimate goal is to find a village inhabited by people after escaping, otherwise you can only be a wild man in the mountains and mingle with fierce beasts such as Siberian tigers.

The primeval forests of the Northeast are nowhere else, they are truly primeval wilderness. The vast majority of places can be said to be untouched all year round, and the dead branches and rotten leaves piled up on the ground may directly reach the knees or even thighs when stepped on! Among them, there are more poisonous snakes, insects, ants, bears, tigers, wolves and leopards, poisonous gas miasma, and all kinds of terrible things.

None of this is actually the most troublesome. There are also legends that there are all kinds of monsters in the mountains, and it really makes people desperate after encountering them! Of course, there are not many people who believe in these things, after all, in modern civilized society, these things are hearsay, and few people have seen them.

And the reason why Zhang Hua dared to break in like this, in addition to his own strength, was that he was wearing a piece of ancient jade handed down by his grandfather. You must know that although ordinary people don't believe in the rumors of mountain spirits and wild monsters, the high-level people do. Zhang Hua's family can barely know some related things. When his grandfather was young, he was inadvertently given a jade pendant by a master, which is said to be able to turn evil into good fortune, and it is because of this that he saved his life in the tragic War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the later War of Liberation.

Although Zhang Hua does not believe in ghosts and gods, he has an almost blind worship of his grandfather. The ancient jade given by his grandfather said that he could keep him safe, and he was very sure in his heart.

After tracking all the way into the mountains, I really found the trace of the fugitive, and fled all the way to the northwest along the terrain that was not too dangerous.

According to Zhang Hua's information, within a radius of several tens of kilometers to the northwest, there are a total of four villages and ethnic minority tribes.

Two of the Oroqen tribes, which have not yet fully set foot in the mountains, are relatively far away, and the terrain is extremely complex, requiring a long detour. Judging from the fact that the fugitive entered the mountain in a hurry and did not have much preparation, even if he was an experienced hunter, it was relatively unlikely that he would choose those two minority tribes. The rest are two villages, called Xing'an Village and Heifenggou. The two villages still maintain a certain degree of communication with the outside world, and occasionally people in the village will bring the mountain goods and wild goods to some towns near Yichun City to sell, Zhang Hua once had a few encounters with a mountain patrol in Xing'an Village.

Now there are two roads in front of Zhang Hua, one goes north, bypassing the ridge of Qibali Road to Xing'an Village, and the other road goes directly to the west, through a dense forest, and then reaches the Black Wind Valley. The name Batu Gully is apt, as the small village is located in a narrow ravine.

Where did this ravine come from? It is two mountain ranges running parallel to each other, separated by a distance, and there is such a "ditch" between these two ridges. In the primeval forest of the mountains, there is such a rare narrow valley area, and I don't know when there will be a village.

Xing'an Village is a long way, but the terrain is relatively simple, the Black Wind Gully is relatively close, but you need to pass through an old forest. The old forest in the northeast is a common saying for hunters in the mountains, which refers to the growth period of a certain forest trees that have not been cut down for hundreds of years or more. In such a forest, the fog is filled with dead leaves for many years, and there may be something strange! Under normal circumstances, unless there are rare treasures such as century-old ginseng and snow-white mountain deer, Orions are reluctant to go in.

However, Zhang Hua judged through his own tracking and investigation experience that the murder fugitive had probably discovered his traces of tracking him, and in addition, he did not carry much dry food, so it was more likely that he would choose to flee through the old forest to the nearest Heifenggou than in Xing'an Village.

So after a brief hesitation, he chose the way to go through the old forest in front of him to the Black Wind Gully.

As soon as he stepped into the old forest, Zhang Hua immediately felt a completely different atmosphere. It stands to reason that they all walk through the primeval forest, and the big trees shade the sky and the sun, so it should not be much different. But in fact, when he stepped into this old forest, there was immediately an eerie aura permeating the air, as if there was a hand holding his heart tightly!

The trees all around them grew very strangely, like some shrubs in the south, extremely twisted, winding out strange and strange shapes, but they were far more than ten times taller. The lower end of most of the trees is covered with a variety of vines and green mosses, some of which are very strange in color, purple, black, blue...... It's all very dim, Zhang Hua knew at a glance that these things might be more toxic, and they couldn't be touched casually, so they needed to be cautious!

Although it was noon and the sun was shining in the sky, the light was still very dim in the old forest, where the trees were tall and knotted, and the dead branches and leaves were piled up. Sunlight could only be cast in small amounts through the gaps in the branches, taking on an eerie dim yellow glow in the mix of mist.

It was eerily quiet, and it was clearly in the woods, but not a single bird or insect song could be heard, as if this old forest was a huge tomb, and there were no living creatures!

Zhang Hua could only hear his own heavy breathing and uncontrollable thumping heartbeat, and Zhang Hua's heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He reached out and touched the piece of ancient jade hanging around his neck, and pulled out the gun from his waist, only then did he feel a little more stable in his heart. Swallowing his saliva, he continued to quicken his steps forward, and at the same time began to sing in order to give himself courage.

"The sunset is red and the sun is flying, and the soldiers shoot the target and return the camp to the camp..."

The rough singing voice and the heroism of the songs in the army really dispelled the gloomy and dead feeling in this old forest, and it was no longer so depressing.

He relaxed a little, stretched his body, shook the gun in his hand, and quickened his pace, wanting to get out of the old forest as quickly as possible to reach the populated Black Wind Gully.

But just when he was relaxed, in the dense grass not far from him, there was a sudden violent shaking, and at the same time there was a loud noise. It was as if something was running through the grass!

Zhang Hua's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he suddenly turned to stare at the grass that was shaking violently, and the gun in his hand was aimed at that place: "Who!?" Who's there, come out! Otherwise I would have shot. ”

To say that he is not nervous right now is false. In the gloomy woods, where the sun could not even shine in at noon, there was suddenly a movement in the dense grass, and the ghost would not believe that someone was there!

Let's hope it's a passing beast.

This may be the situation that Zhang Hua hopes for the most now. If it's a beast, you can scare it away with a gun, even if you can't scare it away, you really have to fight head-on, with your own skills, as long as it's not a large beast such as a Siberian tiger and a big black bear, there should be no problem.

I'm afraid, if it's something unclean, it's a little scary. In this dead and strange old forest, it will be very troublesome......

The sound in the dense grass not only continued, but also seemed to be moving, not only in one place, as if it was surrounding Zhang Hua in a circle!
