I nodded, picked up the flashlight casually, the three of us got up and walked to the bushes, Jiao Ba and I, each of us had a flashlight, and the last one was left for Junzi to use, if they were all taken away, I am afraid they would not be able to do it over there.

It was slowly getting dark, the moon began to loom in the dark clouds, and the whole island was so quiet that no sound could be heard, no birds, no other sounds, only the footsteps of the three of us, and the traces left by the sea breeze.

The three of us walked all the way to the bushes, and as I passed through the place where we had rested, I was completely stunned by what I saw.

It's like a primeval forest, but it's different from the primeval forest, it's closer to a tropical jungle, as if it's a combination of the two, revealing a sense of mystery, a sense of death, and an unprecedented sense of oppression.

In front of me were towering thousand-year-old trees, their branches intertwined and stretched out like an umbrella.

The bark of these trees is dark green, and the thick, strangely shaped branches coil around the trees like poisonous snakes, and when the sea breeze blows, the branches and leaves make a 'rustling' sound, just like the angry sound of snakes.

There was a very small road in the jungle, not a road to be exact, but just a place for us to walk, and I was dizzy to see the intertwined branches.

This hellish place is the most uncontrollable area I've ever touched, because I've barely touched this primitive area.

"What the hell is this place?" I stood at the entrance on the edge of the jungle, and I never dared to take half a step forward, this hellish place looked eerie, let alone walked inside, who knows if there will be any poisonous insects and snakes inside, once bitten, maybe we will all die.

Jiao Ba was also a little dumbfounded and said, "This place is really too weird, Mai Lao, should we go in?" ”

Mai Lao took the flashlight and looked around, and said in a serious voice, "Well, it's a little unusual, let's be careful, find a branch that can ignite a fire, and quickly withdraw." ”

There was no way, the three of us walked in hard, this way is one foot deep and one foot dives, the road is rugged, there are many vines here, almost all over every corner around us.

After entering here, it is difficult for the moonlight to shine in, only in a few places, the moonlight can be seen, and the rest of the place is pitch black.

We can only rely on the light source of the flashlight to find what we need, it is much colder than the outside, the outside is the cause of the sea breeze, but this is different, it is cold in the air, yes, it is cold.

Jiao Ba said as he walked, "Why can't you see an animal in this place, not even a snake." ”

I looked at him and said, "There's nothing best, and if you encounter a poisonous snake, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to come out." ”

As we had walked a little distance, I shrunk my neck and said, "Old Mai, don't go any further, it's getting darker and darker in there, let's look around here for something to light a fire." ”

Mai Lao stopped, looked around and said, "Well, it's fine, but I feel that this road seems to lead to the top of the mountain, do you want to go to the mountain to have a look?" ”

Mountaintop? I shone forward with a flashlight, and it was still a dense jungle, and I couldn't see what was in front of me at all, but as soon as Mai Lao talked about the top of the mountain, I could think of the figure I saw before, and when I thought of this, I felt uncomfortable, and I immediately felt cold.

"To the top of the mountain? You're not kidding me, are you? I glanced at Mai Lao.

Mai Lao smiled at me and said, "It's a joke, hurry up and find firewood." ”

"Mai Lao, why do I feel that this place is so evil." This is my heartfelt remark, everything in this is not quite logical, especially the strange trees, and this mysterious and strange jungle.

"Hehe, don't scare yourself, it's okay." As he spoke, Mai Lao walked over to me.

I looked around with a flashlight and said, "I hope it's like you said." ”

We began to look for dry branches to use as firewood, and we turned out some dry leaves from the ground to make a fire, and although there were many trees in it, it took a lot of effort to find something that could make a fire.

It took about an hour or so for us to collect some dry firewood and dead leaves, and I used my diving knife to cut off three sharp knife-shaped branches, which I held in my hand and looked at, and the size was just right.

"Brother Yi, what are you doing?" Jiao Ba asked me incomprehensibly.

"Get a rack for drying clothes, the clothes are too wet for the body to stand it." I replied casually.

"Did your wound recur?" Jiao Ba seemed to see something wrong.

I smiled and said, "No, don't worry, let's go, go over there." ”

The two of us had just walked a few steps when Jiao Ba suddenly stopped, and he squatted down and looked at a place with a flashlight for a long time.

"Gone, what are you doing?" I turned my head to look at him, not understanding what he was doing.

Jiao Bafang Buddha said to himself, "Strange, where do the footprints come from here?" ”

What the? Footprints? I hurriedly squatted down to see, this is a place with silt, and it is indeed covered with footprints, and these footprints follow the silt, all the way up, as if it is the place that Mai Lao said can lead to the top of the mountain, but it is just next to the previous position.

This footprint should have just been left, I frowned and said, "Could it be that Mai Lao just left?" "In order to reduce this fear, I try to think of the problem on the bright side, and it is not impossible that we have just scattered around looking for firewood.

But Jiao Ba suddenly shook his head and said, "Definitely not, Brother Yi, look at these footprints, it is obvious that they are barefoot." ”

When Jiao Ba's words were finished, I suddenly realized that this was indeed the case, this was a row of barefoot footprints, and it was impossible for Mai Lao to walk on it barefoot, so that around us, there was always a person staring at us? My head buzzed, and I remembered the figure on the top of the hill again.

Just when I felt the fear coming, all of a sudden, I smelled a terrible smell, not just a stink, but a smell like rotten food, which was unbearable.

"What does it smell like? What about such a bad smell? I looked at Jiao Ba and asked.

Jiao Ba hurriedly blocked his nose with his hand and said, "I don't know, where does this smell come from?" ”

We hurriedly looked around with flashlights, but we didn't find anything around except the bushes, not even a single seabird.

But when I turned around, because I was squatting, my eyes naturally fell on the muddy ground with footprints, and the light of my flashlight came with me, but when I saw the vision, I instantly froze.

Originally, there were only footprints on the mud, but now, a pair of shriveled and thin feet appeared in front of my eyes, and I was stunned for a second or two, and the blood rushed straight to my brain, and it was almost backwards.

I jerked my head up, and the flashlight followed, oh my God, there was a man standing in front of me, and in that moment, I saw that he was a man with a disheveled head, and he was wearing clothes like the ancients.

He was not tall, hunched over like an old man, which made people look creepy, and the smell of the surrounding fish, I found that it actually emanated from his body.

And the worst thing is that he is looking down at me, his face is covered with a black cloth, but his strange eyes, I remember deeply, they are cone-shaped eyes like felines, and the eyes of the previous cat-eye man in black, almost identical, except that his eyes are orange.

I was so frightened that I forgot to shout, and just looked at him blankly, and it took me three or four seconds before I reacted, I sat on the ground and shouted, "My mother, who are you?" ”

Jiao Ba was observing the surroundings at the time, and after hearing my shout, he quickly turned around, stepped forward and grabbed me and said, "Brother Yi, Brother Yi, what's wrong with you, Brother Yi." ”

I knew that at this time, my face was pale and pale, and I glanced at him, and said in a trembling voice, "There are people, I saw a shriveled old man just now. ”

"Old man? Where? Jiao Ba was also clever and hurriedly looked around.

I stretched out my hand and pointed behind him, and Jiao Ba turned around and shone it with a flashlight, but on the piece of mud, there was nothing except the previous footprints, and the shriveled old man just now had long since disappeared.

"No, Brother Yi, did you read it wrong just now?" From Jiao Ba's tone, I could hear that he was obviously scared too, he should know about me, and I almost never made that kind of boring joke on this occasion.

"You can't be mistaken, it's true, there was indeed an old man there just now." It occurred to me that the figure that had been staring at us from the top of the hill was also emanating from the slope? Could it be him?

Jiao Ba also said with a heavy face, "Brother Yi, whether it's true or not, let's get out of this ghost place quickly." ”

I slowly stepped back and said, "Well, go eight, get out of here, get out of here right away." ”

But just as I was about to turn around and run, I suddenly knocked down a person's body, and I was so frightened that I almost lost my soul, and I pulled out my diving knife like crazy, screamed, and stabbed this person
