Chapter 68: Footsteps Behind Him
Soon, I was at the T-junction I had been talking to, and I was about to go straight ahead, to the left, when a strange feeling suddenly arose in my mind. I always felt as if I was missing something, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
It wasn't until I had walked ten or so steps into the passage on the left that I suddenly remembered what the origin of that strange thing was.
Thinking of this, a layer of white sweat broke out on my forehead in an instant, and in order to prove my guess, I immediately walked back and came to the T-junction again.
I looked at the wall at the T-junction.
There were originally three words on the wall, and it was because of those three words that I was guided to go to the right. And now, the wall is clean and there is nothing.
When I came out before, the reason why I felt strange was precisely because I had seen the wall out of the corner of my eye, and I was just walking forward at that time, and I didn't notice it at all, but subconsciously, I remembered that this was wrong.
Staring at the wall in front of me, I swallowed, and the guess in my mind became clearer: when I first saw this word, I was still curious about who wrote it and why I went to the right. Now it seems that the person who wrote this line should not be a human ...... Perhaps, it was the 'person' I carried on my back who wrote it down. It made me go to the right, precisely so that I could discover it.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and if it really did it, then what did it want me to do? Is all this what I do in line with its wishes? At this time, there is no change in the surroundings, come to think of it, my previous practices can be regarded as achieving his wishes, right?
The picture in my wallet flashed through my mind, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Before this person died, the most reassuring thing was his wife and children, I took his body out, and handed the body to his wife and children, which is also considered benevolent and righteous, if it picks fault with me again, it is really not a good ghost, it's a big deal to let Zhou Xuanye clean it up!
Thinking of this, I calmed down and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will send you back to my hometown safely, and you will bless me, I hope we go out smoothly." Then I continued on my way.
The cave on the left is relatively rudimentary, rather rough, with earth and stones between the walls, and some dirt scattered along the cracks, so there is a lot of floating soil on the ground. I walked all the way with my lighter, the terrain still slowly rising, and every now and then a dark wind blew in, and I was so stunned that I even started running, full of just wanting to get out of this damn place.
Soon, the exit arrived.
The exit is quite large, about a meter high, and the sunlight penetrates through the outside, and some shadows of vegetation can be faintly seen.
Seeing the sun again, it makes people feel like they are reincarnated, the exit is about ten meters away from me, close at hand, I dare not delay, I plan to go out quickly, however, at the moment when I raised my feet, there was a sudden 'click' sound behind me.
Footsteps.
Very clear footsteps.
There's someone behind me!
Damn, I fell into the water alone, all the way here, except for ghosts, where have I seen half a figure, how could someone suddenly appear at this time! To be honest, I'm not sure if the footsteps behind me are human.
I felt the green tendons on my sun jump hard, and the foot that stepped out was retracted.
I didn't remember the footsteps behind me, and the sound just now seemed to be my hallucination. But I know that it's not an illusion, I don't have any other skills, but I'm absolutely confident in my hearing. At this moment, my nerves tightened all over my body, especially my ears, and I listened more attentively to the movements behind me.
No sound.
I held up the lighter and began to look back slowly.
The area illuminated by the lighter was empty, and there were no human or ghost shadows.
Is it a false alarm?
I looked down, and immediately noticed that there were a pair of footprints on the ground when I came.
Those footprints, which have been following me closely, are only less than five or six meters away from me at the moment. A buzz exploded in my head: Fuck, what's that?
can leave footprints, Bacheng is not an unclean thing, it should be a living thing, look closely at the footprints, it seems to have five fingers, obviously, the other party is still a shoesless one.
The footprints are still there, but the person is gone, could it be that the other party has evaporated from the world at this moment?
My heart was pounding, and a few thoughts quickly turned through my mind, and finally, with the idea that more is better than less, I immediately turned my head and ran towards the exit. Anyway, the exit is right in front of him, whatever the hell he has. I was of a good height, with long legs, and I ran to the exit in a few steps, and immediately began to climb out, and when I poked my head out, I saw that the vegetation outside was very dense, and at a glance it was lush and green, with plantains, and many wild vines not far away. The dense vegetation blocked the scorching sun, and the warm air currents made me feel comfortable when I poked out of the hole.
After quickly crawling out of the hole, I turned to look into the cave where I came, and there was no one to be seen, and the other party didn't seem to be trying to catch up. I kept wondering in my heart, who could be the man in the cave? If you don't wear shoes, can you be a wild man? I only know that there are wild people in Shennongjia, but I have never heard of wild people in the desert.
After observing it for a while, there was really no sign of anything chasing it, and I decided to leave it alone. There are so many unknown things in this world, so many things that make people curious, how can it be possible to figure out everything. It's like a few months ago, I never believed that there were ghosts in this world.
Then, I began to position, first of all, I had to confirm the direction I was in, and then find a way to meet Zhou Xuanye and the others.
I went down the water inlet, and was carried by the underground channel, I don't know how far I rushed out, and then I walked along the hole for nearly half an hour, and it must have been far from the snake cave before. I can be very sure that Zhou Xuanye and the others are definitely still around the snake cave now, with Zhou Xuanye's character, it is impossible to give up me and Tan Jian, he must be trying to save people.
I've got to find them soon.
Actually, it's not that hard, the snake cave is not far from the water's edge where we camped before, and I just need to find a high ground and determine the location of the water flow to know how to go.
After a round and turn, I aimed at a tall banana tree, so I placed the dried corpse under the tree and climbed up the banana tree. Standing high and looking far away, I quickly saw the water flow I had seen before, and it was a little far away, and it was estimated that it would take an hour to walk over.
I'm really tired at the moment, I was halfway through my sleep last night when I encountered the python sneak attack, and then I entered the snake cave, until now, except for a brief coma on the platform, I have hardly rested, my muscles are sore, my brain is sleepy, and my mind is full of only rest.
It was not a good feeling to be alone, especially after spending so much time in the closed environment of the underground waters, and at the moment I was desperate for companionship, so after determining the direction, I did not linger at all, and immediately prepared to go down the tree. However, at this moment, I suddenly noticed that the grass in the distance was fluttering and shaking, as if some animal was hiding inside.
The half-man-tall pile of weeds, which happened to grow at the exit of the cave, obscured most of the light at the entrance of the cave, suddenly shook at this moment, and the movement was still very loud, I couldn't help but stop moving, and looked straight over.
Could it be that the person who followed me came out?
As soon as the thought came to me, I held my breath and stopped moving, staring at the position.
I'd like to see who is pretending to be a ghost.
As I had hoped, the man finally appeared, and he crawled on the ground, revealing first a pair of hands, a pair of black muscular hands, and then a head, covered with thick hair and beard, and his whole face was obscured by hair, and he could not see it at all.
Holy shit, really a wild man?
Suddenly, my heart rose to my throat, and I heard that the attack power of the wild man is very strong, and just looking at the muscles on its arms already makes people feel awe. Looking at the tendon meat, it's no problem to break me directly!
I watched cautiously, not daring to make a move, for fear of attracting the wild man.
But then, I was stunned by the scene, most of the savage leaned out of the grass, looked left and right, and slowly stood up, and then I realized that he had clothes on him, although they were rotten and only strips of rags remained, but there was no doubt that they were clothes.
Don't...... He's not a savage?
At this moment, the name of a book "Robinson Crusoe" flashed in my mind.
Could it be that this person, like Robinson, was trapped in this oasis because of some accident?
