Chapter 59: The Man Behind the Tree

At this moment, the wriggling black shadow, as if it sensed something, paused suddenly, and then, it turned its head sharply, and when I saw it, it was the big tanuki not long ago.

How is it here?

When I saw that it was a tanuki, I was not afraid, so I relaxed my vigilance and immediately walked to the door. The tanuki was not afraid of people, and after looking at me for a while, he took care of his own business, and then I saw that it was actually pulling the soil on the ground with its claws, as if digging a pit, and the location of the pit was not exactly where we buried the 'old corpse' not long ago.

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't worry about it, because the corpse was buried ten meters deep, and I wasn't afraid of being dug up by this tanuki, but it dug like this, so that it seemed a little strange. I stood at the door and watched, it was digging there, and from time to time it would look at me, as if it were human, I didn't have any sleep, and I couldn't help but feel energetic at this look, so I stepped forward and said; "Hey, tanuki, do you understand me?"

As soon as the words fell, its digging paws stopped, and it turned to look at me, and its big yellow eyes seemed to be very spiritual.

Can you really understand it? Could it really be that what became a little monster of the spirit? Mountain spirits and this kind of thing are among the best in heaven, and it is evil to hurt people's lives, but in heaven, there is no difference between human life and beast life. Therefore, the attitude of people like Zhou Xuanye towards mountain spirits and ghosts is not like in the movie, they have to kill demons and demons at every turn, and do the right thing for the sky. On the contrary, as long as it is not too hurtful, it is generally a peaceful route.

I saw that the tanuki seemed to understand my words, and I was even more interested, so I immediately squatted down and said, "What are you doing?" ”

It shook its fur, stopped looking at me, turned back and continued to dig, its two claws moved so fast that it had dug a pit more than half a meter long. I thought that the corpse was buried ten meters deep, and it should not be able to reach it, but at this rate, I am afraid it can really be dug up.

Hurriedly stopped: "You won't be digging up that year's corpse, right?" Fat tanuki, I tell you, this thing can't be dug up, it's very powerful. "I didn't have any medicine on the blister on my arm, so I had to wait for it to recover on its own, and I didn't want to let it out again.

Of course, the fat civet cat ignored me and dug on his own, and when I saw this, I simply stretched out my hand, and it was digging while I filled in the soil.

The fat tanuki exploded, stopped digging, turned his head, and barked at me. It sounded a bit like a house cat, and a little like a baby's meow.

After adding it, it suddenly increased the speed of digging the earth, and moved its position, facing its ass at me, and before I could react, the soil it dug out covered my head and face, obviously deliberately retaliating against me.

For a while, I was angry and funny, took a step back, and said, "Anyway, I also reminded you before that I can be regarded as your benefactor, don't you all say that the spirit wants to repay the favor, and you treat your benefactor like this?" ”

The tanuki ignored me, but dug faster, and in this moment, it was actually a meter deep. I didn't think it was a joke, so I immediately reached out and grabbed the back of the fat civet cat's neck, intending to pull it up, but the civet cat was quite heavy, and I didn't pull it up, so it stretched out and kicked me directly on the neck, and the sharp claws were pulled, and suddenly there was a hot pain.

Now I'm a little angry, and I said in my heart that you are a fat civet cat, and you are so temperamental, I don't pay attention to you. He immediately stood up, grabbed it with both hands, and lifted it up at once.

The tanuki struggled for a moment, and I decided to send it a little farther away, so I grabbed it, walked through the rubble, walked to a broken brick wall, and threw it out.

The tanuki was thrown by me, rolling on the ground, covered in mud and fallen leaves, and it stood up and grinned at me, with a pair of yellow eyes, revealing very obvious anger, but it was only anger, and there was nothing fierce about it.

It seems that even if this tanuki is a spirit, it is a relatively peaceful spirit.

"If you dare to dig that hole again, I'll throw you into the water next time." Cats should be afraid of water, right?

I don't know if my threat played a role, but the tanuki stopped barking and stood there looking at me, a big fluffy tail raised high, which was a friendly gesture.

I glanced at it, and it didn't seem to be mad, so I walked back with a flashlight, walked five or six steps, and when I looked back, I found that the tanuki had jumped up on a crooked old tree at some point, and looked at me condescendingly.

I felt that something was wrong, and I felt that the tanuki might not give up, but I couldn't figure out why it was digging up the corpse.

However, when I walked back to the same place, I suddenly saw a very amazing scene. The pit that was originally dug by the tanuki was only about one meter, but at some point, it became extremely deep, and the light went down, definitely more than ten meters, and at the bottom, where are the traces of the old corpse?

At the same time, I found that the ancestral hall next to us was actually dark, and the ancestral hall was originally burning with a bonfire, even if the bonfire was extinguished, there should be charcoal slag, and it was impossible to be completely dark.

My first reaction was that the corpse came out, and it was likely that it attacked the rest of the people, and something happened to them!

But at this moment, it was surprisingly quiet, and even the insects in the grass in the summer had stopped. Even if the corpse comes out at that age, but that thing burns people at most, and it doesn't eat people, with the ability of Zhou Xuanye and others, it is impossible to have no power to resist.

But why, there is no movement at all now?

I turned the lights into the ancestral hall, and saw that the floor of the ancestral hall still had our equipment bags, but it was empty, and there was a lot of firewood that was supposed to be a bonfire.

All this proves that something must have happened during the time I was gone.

For a long time, experience on the brink of danger has taught me that even if the situation in front of you may seem incredible, you must be calm at such times. Taking a deep breath, I calmed down, and my brain became clear, and the tense nerves made people feel sleepy at all, and my brain was running at high speed.

There is a lot of dust inside the ancestral hall, so there will definitely be some traces left. I looked at it with a flashlight, and sure enough, I saw a lot of chaotic footprints, but these footprints, without exception, came towards the door without exception. Outside the door is a slightly damp muddy field, because everyone has dug a pit in this area before, so there are many footprints around, and it is difficult to distinguish the whereabouts and situation of Zhou Xuanye and the others after they went out at this moment.

But among these footprints, there is another trace that is particularly eye-catching.

It was a strip-shaped mark, like that left by some kind of large snake crawling past.

The hole that suddenly opened in front of me, the traces of the snake, and the raccoon cat that came to dig the hole just now, I suddenly realized that the accident suffered by Zhou Xuanye and the others may be related to the big black snake I saw before.

The tanuki is obviously a spirit, the average snake will never dare to eat it, before the big black snake wanted to mouth it, I think there is some Taoism, I was really deceived by the size of the snake before, although it is not as good as the big snake in the desert, but it is definitely not able to kill with a stick.

Immediately, I immediately shouted the names of Zhou Xuanye and others, and searched the ground with a flashlight, although the footprints were difficult to identify, but the traces of the snake were very clear. At that moment, I rushed back to the ancestral hall, grabbed my weapon, and then followed the serpentine seal to find it.

In the dark, I shouted the names of Zhou Xuanye and others, but no one answered me, there are only two possibilities in this situation, one is that something happened, and the other is that I went away. It didn't take me long to throw the tanuki, so in such a short period of time, everyone shouldn't be able to go far.

In that case, there is only the first case.

What is that big black snake, and what is the situation of Zhou Xuanye and the others?

The snake mark stretched all the way to the weeds, and the weeds showed obvious signs of being crushed, which did not prevent me from looking. Slowly touched along the way, unconsciously, walked out of the range of the dilapidated building, by the light of the flashlight, only to see that there are many ancient trees and rocks around, it is quite difficult to walk, and the snake print, to this place, but disappeared without a trace.

There are a lot of rocks in this place, and the stones are covered with moss, and the heights are staggered, forming many large and small gaps, and I wonder in my heart, that big black snake, could it be that it has drilled into some gaps?

Snakes that grow naturally are generally good at finding natural gaps as burrows, and when the big snakes disappear here, there may be stone caves around them.

Then I thought again, could it be that Zhou Xuanye and they were dragged into the snake hole? The thought sent a chill down my back.

"Boss! Dumb! Brother Zhou! Aunt Ke! I didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly turned on my flashlight to look around for possible clues, but when I shouted around, there was no response, only my own voice was particularly cold in the silent night.

The mountain breeze on a summer night was actually a little cool, and I shivered, and at this moment, in the dark, someone suddenly replied to me: "I'm here!" The sound came from the right, and I turned the lights on, and I saw that the trees were dense there, and there were thick ancient trees everywhere, and there was no human figure in sight.

"Who is it?" I asked more, I should have replied too quickly just now, and the timbre seemed to be a little wrong, a little unfamiliar. I've seen a lot of strange things, and I can't help but have more eyes.

When I asked, there was no response.

"Boss?" I shouted, but there was still no reply.

Just when I felt strange, from behind a big tree not far away, a human face actually poked out, it was Tan Blade's face, as if it was peeping at me, to be honest, Tan Blade and voyeurism are not compatible at all, so at this moment, I have a strong sense of disobedience.

He reached out and gestured at me, motioning for me to come over.

I didn't move.

"You're not Tan Blade, who are you!"
