Chapter Eighty-Five: The Death of a Fellow

They had never seen anything like this before, and one of the fellows said, "Brother Liang, I've never heard of any blood-sucking beasts, will we meet any monsters!" ”

Ruan Liang's face changed, but he still spoke: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

The other guy walked up to the river and looked, "It's pitch black, you can't see anything!" ”

But just as they were about to help Yu Guo up, something suddenly moved into the water and rushed to the shore! The guy by the river was caught up in it in an instant before he could scream.

The rest of the guys exclaimed, "There's a youkai!" Ruan Conscience was so shocked that he didn't dare to stay, and he took a few steps back.

According to Nguyen Liang, this thing is like a giant felt. The guy who was wrapped in it, kept writhing and screaming.

Ruan Liang can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but in this case, it is the first time he has seen it, and the voice of the guy who is deeply involved makes his heart tremble for a while, and his scalp keeps tingling.

The guy behind him wanted to shoot, but was stopped by Ruan Liang, who was worried that the bullet would penetrate the felt-like monster and hit the guy inside.

Ruan Liang pulled out a short knife and wanted to come to the rescue, but as soon as he walked to him, he saw a pair of bulges on the surface of the felt. The eyes are like those of a snake or a crocodile, cold and gloomy, with a film of water on them, making it difficult to see the color of the eyes.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Ruan Liang felt that his body stiffened all of a sudden, and the knife raised in mid-air did not dare to fall. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and with a strange cry from the monster, Ruan Liangchang was frightened and fled for the first time.

Ruan Liang and another guy stood next to him and didn't know what they could do, and the screams made by the guy trapped in the monster gradually changed, from roaring, to screaming, and from screaming to wailing, and finally the sound of wailing became lower and lower, until there was no sound at all.

Ruan Liang and the guy, as people who had gone through this process, watched the big living person who had just been together die tragically in such a way after a while, and the minds of the two people were severely tortured and destroyed, and they were stunned in place all of a sudden, and they even forgot to escape.

This kind of scene continued until we arrived later, and then we knew what happened after that.

After listening to Ruan Liang's narration, everyone could feel the thrilling and strange danger at that time. The men of the Yuan family are all experienced veterans, but in addition to the dancing fire in the eyes of everyone present at this moment, there is also a trace of fear.

Everybody just sat here, and basically no one spoke. The second uncle went to help us find something to eat, and I felt very hungry, but after this toss, I didn't have much appetite.

The expressions of the guys in the Yuan family are not very good-looking, although these people have already seen life and death, but after all, they get along day and night, and people's hearts are flesh and blood, and I can understand the sadness in their hearts.

I did this for a long time, until it was very late, and these people went back to rest one after another. In the end, the second uncle and they also left, leaving only me and Lantern Xiao.

Lantern Xiao lit a cigarette, then handed me the cigarette case again, "Smoke one?" ”

After graduating, I quit smoking, if it was normal, I must have refused, but at the moment I was a little bored in my heart, and unconsciously reached out and took one and put it in my mouth. Lantern Xiao took out a lighter to help me light it, I took a puff, maybe it was because I hadn't smoked for too long, a strong smell of smoke rushed into my lungs, I felt a twitch in my chest, and immediately coughed violently.

Lantern Xiao looked at me with a smile and then spat out a smoke ring. I frowned and took another puff, followed by another cough, but perhaps some of the annoyance was squirted out of my body as the cough was sprayed, and I felt a little lighter.

I took the cigarette in my hand and looked at it, raised my hand and threw it into the fire, and Lantern Xiao couldn't help but "tsk", "Waste!" ”

Lantern Xiao turned her head to look at me, "Zhuo Ran, what do you want?" You won't be able to turn this corner in your heart just because a few people from the Yuan family died. ”

I sighed, "Well, I didn't expect them to die so miserably!" ”

"Miserable?" Lantern Xiao laughed, "How miserable can this be, think about it before, if we were bitten to death by a giant python, would it be miserable?" If you are in the swamp and are swallowed by a giant mutant big blind worm, is it miserable? Just yesterday, you were almost melted by the ghost vine flower as fertilizer, are you miserable? ”

I was stunned by what Lantern Festival said, and let him say that we are simply sad and declining along the way!

Lantern Xiao took a puff of cigarette, "That is, those ways of death, there is no such blood and rotten, it just looks infiltrating." Besides," said Lan Xiao, lowering his voice, "We are now with the people of the Yuan family, not to trust and cooperate with each other, but to be together, which is easier to watch out for and monitor!" Am I saying that, right? ”

I have to admit that this is probably the case, and sometimes it is better to keep the enemy with you to prevent and deal with.

"And," Lantern Xiao leaned into my ear and said: "If it goes on like this, when we find the right place, once there is a conflict of interests, a battle between us and the Yuan family may be inevitable, and now the weakening of the Yuan family's strength is a good thing for us!" ”

Lantern Xiao's sentence makes sense, the second uncle and Yuan An have been cooperating, that is, they have the same goal, but it is precisely because of the same goal that when they are really found, that is the time to really test both sides, in this circle, I don't believe in any selflessness, taking into account the overall situation, and fulfilling others, no one will be willing to disgust themselves. I just don't know if this is their ultimate goal.

I suddenly remembered what my second uncle hadn't finished talking about before, what kind of clan is the so-called "underworld"? I had been thinking about it for a long time, and I was going to ask for a chance, but at the moment, I suddenly lost interest. I looked at the tent where my second uncle lived, and then turned my head back again.

I looked at Lantern Xiao, "Actually, I don't care much about the casualties of the Yuan family, I just feel that life is here, it's quite fragile." ”

Lantern Xiao suddenly smiled, "You're here again, and you're still involved in the fragility of life, I don't think you're suitable for inverted fighting." With so much sentimentality, you can simply write novels and poems! ”

I continued, "I'm wondering who my parents will rely on if it was me who was killed by that monster just now, or if I didn't escape the danger of the oni vine flower or something." Am I playing with my life just for an answer, is it really worth it? ”

Lantern Xiao was silent for a while before he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm relatively unconcerned, my father is gone, and I don't have any relatives!" ”

After listening to Lantern Xiao's words, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, after all, Lantern Xiao's father had just left, and his mother had passed away for many years. When I mention my parents, it will inevitably touch the sadness of the Lantern Festival.

I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "You can't die!" I really can't stand you dead! ”

Lantern Xiao raised her head with some emotion, looked at me, and nodded heavily at me, "Don't worry, I can't die!" ”

"I'm relieved," I looked at Lantern Xiao and said, "After all, I invited you to come with me, and if you die, I will have to take some responsibility!" ”

"Holy!" Lantern Xiao's face was full of emotion, and it disappeared in an instant, "You kid is because of this!" ”

"Well, yes!"

"Your uncle!"

The next morning, I emerged from the tent and was surprised to find a faint mist all around. I looked up and around, and the mountains were now all hidden in a thin mist.

The world that used to be clear is now blurry and elusive, and I have a slight worry about how it will be today. I suddenly remembered the first time I met Yuan An's team here, Anado said a sentence, "Fujimen Fog Hidden ......" I said a few words to myself, but suddenly forgot the content behind it and was suddenly stuck.

Just as I was trying to remember, someone behind me suddenly spoke, "The vine gate is covered by fog and clouds, and the ghost gate of the bloody underworld is open." ”

When I looked back, it was Anadot. I smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's just these two sentences, I can't remember them for a while." ”

Anador stared at me and said, "You're here for the legendary ghost gate of the underworld? ”

"The Ghost Gate of the Underworld?" I asked, "What is this?" ”

Anador frowned and looked at me for a moment, "You're here for this, but you don't know?" ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, "I've told you before, there are many things that I really don't know!" ”

"Then why are you here?" Anador continued.

I spread my hands, "Just like you, look for my second uncle!" ”

Anador nodded, as if accepting my explanation, but she didn't let me go, and suddenly took a step closer, "You're not antique dealers at all. You're tomb robbers, aren't you? ”

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, I didn't know if my smile was natural or unnatural, and continued to stiffen my mouth, "What are you kidding, we are the ...... of antiques" I found that I really didn't have any talent for lying, and I couldn't go on halfway through speaking, I looked at Anado, "Now that you know, what do you want?" ”

Anador shrugged her shoulders, "Actually, it's nothing to me, as long as you don't do anything that harms the village, I don't care if you find the underworld or not." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, "We don't have much interest in your stockade, I think our target should be in the depths of this mountain." ”

I remembered the legend that Anadot had just mentioned, "What do you mean by the ghost gate of the underworld?" ”

Anador sneered and shook his head, "You don't know anything, you dare to rush into the mountains, it's really stupid and bold!" And that fat man. I knew she was referring to Lantern Festival, so I turned my head to look at Lantern Xiao, who was sorting out my equipment not far away, and suddenly sneezed.
