Chapter 46: The Misty Ghost
This...... I couldn't help but be stunned, this was clearly half a cigarette roll that had just been smoked, and it was the kind of dry tobacco that was rolled, not a filter cigarette.
But in this desolate place, where did the dry tobacco roll come from? Especially, it has just been discarded.
"Sure enough, someone has come, and it's not long before us." Lao Pan looked up and said.
"Who the hell are they?" I couldn't help but ask, and as I looked at Ansari, already remembering what he had said about the people we had arrived here the day before.
Ansari shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've already said it, and I don't know, when I arrived at Shenlong Village, they were already imprisoned, just like you. ”
"Why are they here when they're being imprisoned?" I asked again in confusion, and Ansari said expressionlessly: "Oh, when we escaped from the Shenlong Village, they actually took the opportunity to run out, and it was when Su He went back that I accidentally saw a few figures flashing behind them. ”
"What?! You watched them come out, and you didn't sue us until now, and you're still so calm?! I screamed, and it turned out that this guy had known for a long time, but he had been doing nothing.
"Is it useful for me to sue you? At that time, we didn't have a good cooperation, and besides, even if they had the ability to come here, what would they do? ”
His tone was still understated, as if it had nothing to do with him at all, I frowned, and was wondering why he had such an attitude, Da Kui suddenly grinned next to him: "Yes, yes, it's all for nothing, the only thing that can enter that place is in our hands, they are just here to die." Just let them go ahead, it's best. ”
Da Kui's words made some sense, and the corners of Ansari's mouth raised slightly: "That's what it means, let's not worry, it seems that they have already gone forward, as long as we wait here until dawn, it is estimated that it will be about the same." ”
It dawned on me that he had this idea, no wonder he was not in a hurry all the way, and in the morning, he was delayed with us for so long.
"But how do you know that those people must be coming here?" Old Pan seemed to be skeptical of Yiqiē, and Ansari glanced at him and said, "Is there anything else worth venturing here besides that place?" What's more, it's not the first time I've met them. Although there has never been direct contact, there are always traces that make us always be careful with each other, but no one succeeds. ”
As he spoke, he slowly got up and continued: "But their luck is relatively bad, they have never been here, this time, it is indeed a little strange, I did not expect that these people can find here." ”
"It seems that they don't know about the burial of the jade yet, otherwise they wouldn't be so bold." I interjected, but Lao Pan looked at me and said, "Have you forgotten what happened the night I went to look for you?" ”
I suddenly remembered his reminder, and I immediately slapped my head hard, and I almost forgot about it.
That's right, I remembered the incident that day at the entrance of the alley downstairs, when I encountered a robbery, if it wasn't for Lao Pan's secret help, this piece of burial jade would have been snatched away a long time ago.
There was a glimpse of foreboding in my mind, and there must be something to do with that incident and the state of affairs at this time.
"They're likely to be ambushed halfway, so be careful." I blurted out, Ansari looked at me in confusion, I didn't hide it, and immediately told me that someone had robbed the burial jade before, Ansari also frowned, and said to himself: "It seems that I think about this matter simply." But if they are intent on ambushing, then what does this dry tobacco roll mean? ”
I took the half of the cigarette in his hand, looked at it, and said, "I don't think it can be left by those people, as an explorer, do you still have time to roll dry cigarettes halfway?" ”
Da Kui and the others shook their heads together, but Lao Pan said: "This still depends on personal preference, I know a few old guys, and they also like to carry dry tobacco bags when they are doing business, smoking can not only relieve stress, but also sometimes prevent snakes and insects." ”
"But isn't what they should be doing now to hide their whereabouts, even if they smoke, they won't make such an obvious mistake and throw a cigarette butt to expose their whereabouts, right?"
I still expressed my doubts, and Lao Pan nodded again and said: "Your analysis is also right, hehe, it seems that you have made rapid progress, and you already know analysis and reasoning." ”
I rolled my eyes at him, thinking to myself, didn't I let you force this?
"Unless it's a deliberate trace left by them, but now I can't think of their intentions, so let's do it, the fog on this mountain is not good for us, let's go down the mountain, as the day before yesterday, clear an open space to camp, and wait for tomorrow when the fog clears, and then continue to set off."
Lao Pan gave his order, everyone agreed, Da Kui scratched his head and said: "Didn't you say that you can just light the fire, the fire can dispel the fog......"
Ah Sheng, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Da Kui, don't make trouble, this is water mist, the altitude here is low, the air pressure is low, the water vapor is not easy to evaporate, and it is not useful to rely on the method of making a fire." ”
What else did Da Kui say, Zhang Ye patted him and said, "Don't make noise, listen to scientists, you only understand a few questions." ”
Da Kui shrunk his neck and muttered, "Okay then, I'll carry the scientist down the mountain." ”
He leaned over and picked up Ah Sheng, and the few of us walked down the mountain.
However, after turning around, we realized that something was wrong, and we had just walked around here twice, and now the fog around us was getting thicker, and we couldn't find our way down the mountain.
We were all a little dumbfounded, although it was a hill, but in fact the slope was very gentle, and there were no obvious ups and downs, we walked a little bit to a few low-lying places, and found that it was not right, so after walking for a while, we were completely lost.
Not only were a few of us already dizzy, and Ansaari, who had always been calm, couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south at this time, and after we had been on the mountain for a while, he suddenly stopped and said, "It's not right, let's not go, it's too dangerous to break through in the fog like this." ”
Lao Pan also said: "I think so, Da Kui, pick up something, light the fire, and expand the visual range first." ”
Everyone stopped on the spot, and I volunteered to go around with Da Kui to collect hay and branches, but I didn't dare to go too far, lest I get lost, so I quickly lit a fire, and the moment the flame ignited, it immediately dispelled some of the fog around me.
The fire really worked, Da Kui and I kept adding firewood to it, the fire got bigger and bigger, and the visibility around us gradually expanded, but it only recovered to about 20 meters, and the situation in the distance was still not clear.
We didn't pick up much combustibles, and they ran out quickly, this time Zhang Ye also joined the team, and the three of us continued to pick up branches around, but the grass and trees on this mountain were quite sparse, and I didn't pick up much after looking for a while, and I was about to go to the edge of the fog, and when I looked back, the fire and the people were already blurry again, I hurriedly turned around, thinking that I would burn these branches first, and I would talk about it later.
I was about to walk back, but suddenly something suddenly grabbed me at my feet, I was shocked, looked down, but suddenly frightened a ghost, subconsciously screamed.
"Ah......h
I saw a bloody hand poking out of the mist, skinny, like a ghost claw, grabbed my ankle, I was so frightened that I jumped and jumped, but I couldn't break free, the strength of this hand was surprisingly great, and my ankle hurt for a while.
I don't know if it's a ghost or a mountain spirit tree monster, I screamed repeatedly, Da Kui and the others heard the scream and hurriedly ran over, Zhang Ye's eyes were sharp, and he found the situation from afar, and as soon as he raised his hand, a white light shot towards my ankle.
Said that it was too late, and then quickly, a flying knife was firmly nailed to the bloody hand, and the blood flowers suddenly appeared, and a painful snort suddenly came from the mist, and the hand relaxed slightly, I hurriedly took the opportunity to pull out my foot, and took a few steps backwards, Zhang Ye had already jumped over, and shouted: "What is it?" ”
My heart was pounding, pointing to the bloody hand, unable to speak, Da Kui also rushed over, saw this situation without saying a word, grabbed the arm, and dragged it over......
This drag, forcibly dragged a person over. No, it can only be said that it is suspected to be a person, because this person looks more like a corpse.
This man was covered in blood, his clothes were in tatters, all the exposed skin was stained red with blood, especially the head, which was even more bloody and blurry, and he could barely distinguish his nose and eyes, which looked extremely terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that this person seems to be alive, and after being dragged out by Da Kui, he let out a muffled snort from his throat, and stretched out his hand to us in pain, as if he was asking for help from us.
A few of us took a step back at the same time, glancing at each other, our expressions full of horror.
What the hell is going on?
"Be careful!" There was a sudden shout behind me, and I subconsciously wanted to look back, but at the moment I turned around, I found out out of the corner of my eye that on the man's outstretched arm, the flesh suddenly bloomed, and a swarthy thing came out of it......
