Chapter 332: Premonition of Crisis
When the old man told the story, there was a mountain baby next to him as circumstantial evidence, so the old man didn't dare to talk nonsense. At that time, when he led the four people here, there seemed to be some strange movement in the forest, and it was this movement that attracted the four people to get off the boat halfway and go to the forest to observe. The old man didn't think so, thinking that these people were all well fed.
The four of them entered the forest for about a few minutes, and suddenly there was a terrible howl, followed by one of them ran towards the outside of the forest without his life, covered in blood, and fell down when he ran to the edge of the forest, when the old man and the baby were left on the boat on the shore, the man stretched out his hand to call for help, and before the old man could react, the man seemed to have been dragged back by something, and was never seen again.
The old man black made a living that was cruel enough, and he walked in the mountains all the year round, and he saw a lot of strange things, and he was not completely frightened, he and the mountain baby waited outside for a long time, and the four of them seemed to have completely disappeared into this wood, silently. Later, the old man couldn't help it, and wanted to go over and take a look, not because he was kind, but just worried about what those people were about.
He and Shanwa got off the boat and went ashore, and the forest was on the shore, and they could walk in with their feet. When the old man took the first step into the forest, he was shocked by a breath that overwhelmed him. It was an aura that the old man couldn't describe, with a destructive force, as if one more step forward would be a catastrophe, and he would die a miserable death. The old man didn't see anything, he was completely frightened by the invisible and insubstantial breath, the mountain baby behind him also trembled, and the two people ran back, and since then, as long as they passed through this forest, the old man didn't dare to stop a step, and rowed over in a hurry.
After listening to it, I thought it was a little strange, a person like the old man who licked blood from the knife edge, dared to wear human skin clothes, but he was scared like this by a breath? What kind of breath should that be?
"What he said was true." Shanwa saw the doubt in my eyes and explained beside me that the old man did not lie about this.
This matter had nothing to do with me, but the point was that the four unknown people were also from the north, which caught my attention. In those years, if it weren't for some unavoidable circumstances, no one would have traveled thousands of miles from the north to the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang. With that in mind, I was going to go in and take a look at the woods, and maybe find something.
"Get up and take me in." I picked up the old black man, who was lying on the ground, and led him into the woods.
"Don't go! I'm not going! The old man was completely shocked by that breath, and refused to say anything: "This forest is very evil."
"How evil! Can you suppress the yang energy in my body!? "I was impatient to talk nonsense with him, so I dragged him away, and the old black man was like a dead father, and he couldn't speak.
I dragged the old black man into the woods, and to be honest, from the outside, it was just a very ordinary wood, and there was nothing peculiar about it, and after entering the woods, I didn't notice anything. The old black man frowned and craned his neck, but in a minute or two, he might have noticed that the breath he sensed last time was gone.
But just then, a breeze blew down the woods, and I smelled a disgusting stench of corpses. Following this smell, I walked slowly towards the depths of the woods, and the surroundings were always quiet, except for the occasional wind, there was no strange movement, and as for the smell that the old man said about it, I couldn't feel it.
After walking for about thirty or forty meters, the stench became stronger and stronger, almost to the point that it was unbearable, and even the old black man couldn't help but cover his nose.
"I really can't stand it, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving" The old man hugged a tree hard, begging bitterly, the more silent it was, the more gloomy this forest became.

The old man black hugged the tree next to him, and he didn't let go of his hands, and suddenly, the branch on his head made a soft sound, followed by a pair of legs in the air to the neck of the old man black, I pulled out vigilantly, the legs were rotten and not looking, dripping and dragging corpse water, the black old man's eyes were black, and he almost fainted.
I raised my head slightly, and now I looked closely, and there were two corpses hanging on the three trees next to each other, the corpses were close to the trunks, and the whole body had turned yellowish brown like bark, and these two corpses plus the one on the neck of the black old man, there were three in total.
The old black man shook his head, pulled out, and threw off the corpse around his neck, and the branch from which the corpse hung was broken without force, and the corpse hung in front of him, drooping his head. I ordered the old man to help me take down the other two bodies from the tree. The three bodies were side by side, and it was horrific to see.
"It's them!" The old man shouted loudly, this season, the weather in the north is already very cold, but the far south is still maintaining a certain temperature, the climate is warm and humid, the corpse has been hanging here for at least ten days, and it has rotted beyond recognition, but according to their belongings and clothing, the old man black can identify it, this is the person who entered the forest at that time.
I forcibly resisted the stench, squatted down and looked at it carefully, these three people were very strange, and they could no longer see the original appearance. They were very strong, obviously very skilled, but one died worse than the other, and one of them had been stripped of the skin from his chest to his lower abdomen, which made it unbearable to look at him directly.
After looking back and forth for a long time, I also frowned, the corpse could not speak, but some hidden secrets could be seen from some details. They may have encountered a very abnormal enemy, subdued with little resistance, and the half-skinned man, as if forced to ask something, was tortured for refusing to speak. I rummaged around again, digging out two bags from under the fallen leaves, as well as two pistols scattered nearby.
As soon as I saw the pistol, I immediately thought of the old knife group, the whole country, it is impossible for only the old knife group to have guns, but these people are from the north, so naturally I associate them with the old knife. If this is really the case, the old knife and they, have also begun to pay attention to Jiuli?
Judging from the deaths of these three people, I always feel that they were not killed by the Jiuli people, and I know very well the usual methods used by Jiuli to kill people. Thinking about it this way, the people who killed them also came from somewhere else?
I have a very strange feeling in my heart, is it a coincidence? Ma Yao Mountain in the Southern Regions, I rarely see outsiders for many months as an adult, counting the days, twenty days ago, it was when I planned to come to Jiuli, if it wasn't for the twists and turns in the middle, maybe I would have rushed to Ma Yao Mountain at that time.
"Didn't you say there were four of them? There are only three bodies here. I thought about it for a moment and asked the old man black.
"I really don't know about this, but it's really four people who came in." The old man black is only afraid of suffering again, and a strong gambling curse is guaranteed.
"Let's go first." I read all the surrounding situation, and there was really nothing superfluous to find, so I pulled the old black man out of the woods.
I don't know why, when I found the three corpses in the forest, my emotions were not calm, and I had an inexplicable sense of crisis, which may have come entirely from the people who killed them. I had a vague feeling that it would be an opponent that would be difficult to predict and deal with.
Walking out of the forest, the old man began to beg again, I know very well in my heart, this old thing has been killing people for so many years, it is impossible to change his career because of one thing, let him go today, and he will harm people here in the future. I knocked him unconscious with a single punch, and I used the Thirteen Pagoda Visualization Technique to get out of my body and force my way into his body. My soul is not strong enough to reach a certain point, and when the other party is sober, I can't force into the flesh.
The soul of the black old man was mixed with his soul, which was the deadliest disturbance, and the soul was damaged, and when he woke up again, he was a chaotic idiot.
I asked from Shanwa about the specific route and distance into the mountain, and Shanwa was pitiful, and after explaining these clearly, he wanted me to let him go. I found a very thin needle in his knot, and as soon as this needle was removed, the soul of the mountain baby was finally able to break free from the confinement and break free from the body.
Walking deep from Ma Yao Mountain, you will walk into the seemingly boundless forest sea and mountains, the vegetation here is indescribable, the old forest is lush, and no one has set foot in it for thousands of years. The road is very difficult to walk, I followed the route given by Shanwa, all the way forward, although it was difficult to walk, but every step I took, I was one step closer to Jiuli.
After walking alone for two days, away from the river beach, I finally didn't have to hide and hide anymore, I always walked during the day and rested at night. Two days later, at dusk, I stopped in the middle of a dense forest, intending to make do with a good night's sleep, and then hurry. No one pursued, and the mood was not so nervous, so I found a horizontal vine in the old forest and lay down on it to rest. When the belief in the heart is strong, there will be fewer distractions, and I will sleep peacefully, and I will fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes.
I was awakened by a gust of wind, and when I opened my eyes, there was still a piece of moonlight shining from the shade of the trees, and I lazily turned over, intending to sleep a little longer, but as soon as my eyes were closed again, I heard a human voice, which was fluttering and a little faint.
"Can you do me a favor?"
I was so excited that I turned over and sat up, how could there be people in the depths of such a deep old forest!? As I glanced vigilantly to the left and right, the voice drifted to my ears again.
"Do me a favor, okay?"
