Chapter 17: Ghost Tracks

Qin Zhen was dumbfounded, stunned for a long time before swallowing his saliva and saying, "I, I, I'm almost a prey?" Grandma's! So who is the hunter? Who did this trap? ”

Yu Dong looked around and replied in a low voice, "You are confused by this group of things. As he spoke, he casually pointed to the shadowy spot in the corner.

Qin Zhen looked in the direction pointed by Yu Dong, and at this glance, he felt that his hairs stood on end! In that dim corner, a pair of small green eyes flashed from time to time! Qin Zhen finally understood, those little eyes that were crazy were none other than the sand ferret! Although it is said to be a giant weasel in the desert, it still belongs to a weasel after all. Therefore, the most basic nature cannot be changed, and it is good at teasing and confusing people's minds. Looking at those little green eyes, it seems that you can even see their cruel and cunning gaze! Qin Zhen still said to himself in some incredulity: "I was really fascinated by this group of weasels? No wonder I saw a figure, but I couldn't see it clearly."

Looking at Qin Zhen's muttering in hindsight, Yu Dong opened his mouth and said, "Remember, don't look at their eyes again, and also be firm in your will." How bad is your concentration? I didn't take two steps and was lost. There was a hint of mockery in Yudong's tone.

Since the two of them were very close to each other, Qin Zhen didn't dare to scold loudly, so as not to alarm the group of beasts to attack. I had to retort in an awkward whisper: "This has nothing to do with concentration!" How did I know there were so many of these things here? Even if I did, how would I know they would really confuse people with hallucinations? ”

In his ears was Yudong's cold snort, "You said it yourself, it's definitely not an ordinary weasel who can walk in line in the desert." The weasel stealing chickens in the countryside will confuse people, can it be here?? ”

"Huh? What's wrong with you hitting me with pleasure? Guys, didn't I just make a small mistake? You'll have to pay attention next time. Qin Zhen argued dissatisfiedly.

Yu Dong sank for a moment after hearing this, and then changed to a stern and serious tone and said, "In this place, a mistake may mean the end of life. Not everything has a next time. ”

It was almost a cold statement, but Qin Zhen was afraid for a while. Yudong is right, he is too careless. Looking at the shocking trap pit, Qin Zhen really felt that he had just walked around from the ghost gate. If Yudong hadn't saved him in time, it is estimated that he would have become a boneless grilled chicken by this time. Thinking of this, Qin Zhen scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Thank you just now, in fact, I always thought that ghosts hit the wall or weasels were charming, these are all fakes."

Yu Dong didn't answer, just pulled Qin Zhen and walked towards another corner. As he walked, he casually asked, "What do you think is true?" ”

Suddenly, he was asked such a question that seemed to be a little philosophical, and Qin Zhen really didn't know how to answer it for a while. even almost blurted out 'false is true when it is true and false', but fortunately, this sentence was not really spoken, otherwise I would have to lose all my face. In fact, there are a lot of things that have been lost now.

Yu Dong still pulled Qin Zhen forward quickly, as if he had a definite direction. Qin Zhen only remembered at this time and asked, "Gu Jie, what about Old Shen?" ”

Yu Dong didn't stop, but replied very calmly, "I saw that something was wrong with you before, so I went to look for you, and the place they walked just now was where they should have been, but now they are silently gone." Maybe like you, for some reason got separated. ”

Although listening to what Yu Dong said, the clouds are light and the wind is light, but Qin Zhen can no longer be calm! At that time, he stood still, and excitedly repeated Yudong's words, "Separated?? Guys got scattered here?? ”

Yudong saw that Qin Zhen had stopped, so he turned around and continued to pull him forward, "If they are together, with Jiang Qi and Shengli here, there shouldn't be any danger." Don't worry, at least we're still in the Jade Gate Pass, and we'll be able to find them. ”

Qin Zhen thought about Yu Dong's words for a while, and his heart calmed down a little. yes, it's useless to be in a hurry. Besides, if you think about it, isn't it all self-inflicted when everyone gets separated? Thinking of this, Qin Zhen felt a deep sense of shame and self-blame, fortunately, as Yudong said, at least he knew that everyone was still in the Yumen Pass, and it was true to hurry up and find talents at the moment. So Qin Zhen asked, "Then where are you going?" ”

"West."

"Can you still tell the difference between southeast and northwest here? Why are we going west? Qin Zhen asked in the back puzzled. However, the only answer to him was the back of Yudong walking briskly.

Just when Qin Zhen was still trying to get to the bottom of it, Yu Dong suddenly stopped. And gently raised his hand to stop Qin Zhen, signaling him not to move, not to make a sound. Qin Zhen was taken aback by this sudden freezing atmosphere, and then saw Yu Dong's solemn face and frowning brows, and faintly had a bad premonition

Just froze motionlessly, the air seemed to be really frozen, and Qin Zhen felt that now he could hear even a needle falling on the ground! Except for his own heartbeat and the slight sound of breathing, he didn't seem to hear a sound.

In the end, he couldn't help it, Qin Zhen opened his dry lips and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yu Dong didn't speak, just lowered his gaze and pointed at their feet. Qin Zhen wondered and shone a flashlight at their feet. For a while, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, only yellow sand and the footprints they left behind!! Qin Zhen felt his heart tighten suddenly! It's as if you've been grabbed by an invisible hand! He finally knew why Yudong suddenly stopped!

On the yellow sand, there are footprints of him and Yudong walking almost side by side. However, what frightened Qin Zhen was the back of their footprints! There are other footprints on the untouched sand! It's a stretch to say that they were footprints, because they don't look like human footprints at all! How to say it, it is as if it is a foot that is much smaller than ordinary people and has a very deep dot next to it. In this way, a little foot and a dot imprint followed behind Qin Zhen and Yudong in an orderly manner, until Yudong just stood up, and the weird footprints also stopped behind them abruptly!

Qin Zhen looked behind the empty body, withdrew his flashlight and gaze, and looked at Yudong in horror, but he didn't say a word for a long time. Qin Zhen didn't even know what to ask Yu Dong. Ask him what are the footprints of this thing? That's a question in vain, such a weird imprint will definitely not be left by something good, ask him if there is something to follow? This is also the same as nonsense, the footprints on the yellow sand are very clear and clear at a glance. The scariest thing was that when they stopped, the thing was almost attached to them and stopped behind them! There was no movement, and then it disappeared behind them so strangely

The suppressed sense of fear made Qin Zhen almost crazy and wanted to shout out! This is in stark contrast to Yuto's calm and calm. Qin Zhen even wondered if Yudong was a human being? In the face of such a terrifying and strange scene, how could he be so indifferent? Just when Qin Zhen began to sweat, Yudong finally broke the stiff atmosphere, "In front is the west city wall, and if you go up, you will be the city tower." Let's go up first. ”

As he spoke, he was about to move forward. But he saw that Qin Zhen beside him didn't seem to have any intention of moving, so he looked at him in surprise. Qin Zhen stiffened his voice and said, "Shall we first settle this thing that follows us?" Otherwise, it's dangerous to go anywhere, silent, shadowless, invisible, such a thing, I'm afraid of death, and I don't know how it died. ”

Yu Dong frowned after hearing this, as if he was considering Qin Zhen's words. Qin Zhen also moved his stiff body slightly, leaned towards Yu Dong's side again, and then pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "This can't be said to be a human, right?" If it's human, there's only one possibility."

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Zhen in surprise, waiting to hear his analysis and guesses. Qin Zhen pointed to the ground and said, "If it's a person, then this is an old lady with only one leg, crutches, and wrapped little feet, jumping and jumping behind us."

After hearing this, Yudong sighed a little disappointed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Don't scare yourself, okay?" I didn't feel anything, but why did you say it so weirdly? Don't you think the eerie atmosphere here isn't enough? ”

Qin Zhen argued unjustly: "Then look! What can this little foot be a little bit of, not a leg and a crutch? And, what creature can track so silently? Disappearing quietly like this? ”

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen amusedly and asked, "Aren't you materialist atheist?" Who's the one who's in the weird power now? ”

Ignoring Yudong's sarcasm, Qin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Since I saw this city pass, all theories have been completely subverted!" Who would have thought that the place where the ruins of Yumen Pass were written was just a substitute attraction? ”

Yu Dong seemed to sigh lightly, and then said disapprehantly, "The above has long known that Xiaofangpan City is not the real Jade Gate Pass. That's just for the people to see. Qin Zhen was shocked when he heard this, "What??" At this time, Qin Zhen's heart was extremely shocked, it was difficult for him to imagine what he had seen and heard since he was a child. Or is it just the ideology deliberately instilled by the 'people with a heart'?

Seeing Qin Zhen's surprised expression like five thunderbolts, Yu Dong said indifferently, "The whole world is not the king's land, and it is said that it is Yumen Pass, then it is Yumen Pass." Some secrets are explored by some people, and then known and mastered by a very small number of people, and that's fine. You don't have to worry about that, let's go. ”

Qin Zhen was pulled away by Yu Dong, and then followed Yu Dong's footsteps a little distractedly, but his heart felt unprecedentedly cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Not just because of the weird and terrible footprints, but also because of the darkness he felt. This kind of fear was even stronger for Qin Zhen at this time than for the ghosts.
