Feng'er exclaimed, not daring to look!

It was too late to say that it was too fast, Nangong Xun's wrist trembled, and he stabbed at the black shadow with his sword, and before the thing had time to dodge in mid-air, it was split in two by the long sword!

Nangong Xun looked at the corpse on the ground, and it looked like a rat in appearance, with a huge body and a round body, like the size of a newborn piglet, this was actually a black-brown forest mouse!

The woodrat's shiny fur, long tail, small round eyes, and especially the long, sharp claws and exposed protruding teeth made people shudder!

Nangong Xun had heard people talk about forest rats before, they lived in the dense forest all year round, fed on the fruits of trees and bulbs underground, and occasionally preyed on bird eggs, which did not pose a threat to people.

But it's the first time I've seen such a big woodrat, and this is really weird!

Nangong Xun didn't dare to slack off, but his face was extremely calm, the long sword slowly entered the sheath, and he pretended to be calm and smiled at Feng'er: "It's just a rat that kills itself, no fuss!"

Feng Erqi said: "How can there be such a big mouse, it shouldn't have grown up eating meat, right?"

Nangong Xun said: "The mountains here are deep and the forests are dense, and the food is abundant, it is normal to grow like this, Feng'er go quickly, Master and his old man are in a hurry!"

Nangong Xun deliberately diverted the topic and helped Feng'er to move on, thinking about the suitable wood mouse in his mind.

After walking for a short time, he suddenly heard Feng'er's "ah", stood in place and said in a lost voice: "I... I feel like I've stepped on something..."

Feng'er still had lingering palpitations about the big forest rat, and at this time, her feet were soft and she didn't dare to raise her feet, and she looked at Nangong Xun with a pair of frightened eyes.

Nangong saw that her expression was different, and when she came over, the thick pine needles under her feet were slightly convex under the fallen leaves, which was very different from the surroundings, and there was really something hidden!

Nangong Xun used his long sword to push away the fallen leaves covered at the top, and there was actually a person under the thick fallen leaves!

The man was dressed in black, lying face down on all fours, and one of Feng'er's feet stepped on the man's arm, but she jumped away with a scream, and shouted in horror: "Yes... It's a dead man!"

Rao is Nangong Xun was calm as usual, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart!

The man's body was covered with a thick layer of pine needles, which was tightly covered, so the two of them didn't notice it at first, and Nangong Xun deduced that this person had been dead for some time, and it was strange that he couldn't smell the smell of the corpse's decay.

Feng'er hid from a distance, half frightened and half curious, and asked, "Who is this person, and how did he die here?"

Nangong Xun was silent, he couldn't answer, because what she asked was exactly what he was confused about.

This man is of medium stature, carrying a bulging package and a water bottle full of water on his back, and carrying a steel knife at his waist, which is the most common attire for people walking in the rivers and lakes.

Nangong Xun didn't see anything unusual, and when he turned over the dead corpse, the situation in front of him couldn't help but surprise him!

Feng'er trembled all over, covering her mouth and trying her best not to scream.

It turned out that this man was in good clothes, but he had long been unrecognizable and had become a pile of skeletons!

The two large hollow holes in the skull's eyes were no different from ordinary air-dried corpses, except that its arms were outstretched, its fingers spread like hooks, and its fingertips were deeply embedded in the earth.

Its mouth opened even wider, and if it called, it was as if it had seen something terrible at the last moment before it died, and it had been killed on the spot before it could scream!

It was as if he tried his last strength to cry for help, and finally died in despair.

It is impossible to know what happened to him during his lifetime.

But Nangong Xun knew that the black-clothed man in front of him was not the result of natural weathering after his death, because the pine needles on his body were brushed off, his clothes were still shiny, and his steel knife was still as bright as new.

It was just an ordinary steel knife, and if it was weathered by nature, when the human body became a pile of bones, not only would the knife rust, but the clothes would have already become fly ashes.

In other words, this man in black didn't die for too long, but he did become a pile of bones!

Everything seems contradictory!

It's all so real!

That's what's so weird!

Nangong Xun couldn't figure it out, could it be that this was the mysterious death curse that people had been circulating for a long time?

Thinking of this, a trace of horror flashed through his heart.

Feng'er said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xun, let... Let's get out of this place as soon as possible..."

Nangong Xun stood up, and suddenly his gaze stayed on the teeth and neck of this skeleton, and the bones of his whole body were all white, only these two places were slightly blackened.

Nangong Xun suddenly felt curious, squatted down and looked at it again, and beckoned Feng'er and said, "Sister Feng, look at it!"

Feng'er didn't want to come over to see it, firstly because she was afraid and secondly because she was unlucky, but when she heard Nangong Xun tell her, she knew that there must be a mystery, so she immediately had the courage to come and see.

She also noticed the abnormality, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange, could it be that this person died of poisoning?"

Feng'er shook her head again and said, "It's not like this, if you commit suicide by taking poison, the bones of this person's chest and abdomen should also be black, but why are only the teeth and jaw black?"

Nangong Xun said: "There are two reasons for this situation, one is that the person is drugged with poison after death, and the poison cannot go down in the corpse, and these two parts will turn black over time..."

Feng'er nodded and said: "I know what you said, in the barren mountains and mountains here, it's really not difficult to kill a person, and no one knows, it's just that it's so troublesome to kill someone and poison it, the more I think about it, the more I don't understand!"

Nangong Xun said: "Since this first way of death is unrealistic, then there is only the second possibility..."

"Oh, the second possibility?" said Feng Erqi.

Nangong Xun continued: "There is another possibility that this person committed suicide by taking poison!"

Feng Er couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said, "Don't be funny! Who would run so far to take poison and commit suicide, is this a place where Feng Shui treasure can be reincarnated as an emperor after death? I don't think that's true, unless this person is a madman!"

Nangong Xun said lightly: "Of course, he wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, but in the end he couldn't do it..."

"What do you mean?" Feng'er wondered.

"Because he didn't die of poison, but because of it..."Nangong Xun said again.

Feng'er thought for a long time, and then said: "You mean that before taking poison, he almost only had half a life left, and he could only take a breath to commit suicide by taking poison?"

Nangong Xun nodded and said, "There is a possibility!"

The more Feng'er thought about it, the more confused she became, and said, "That's strange, why did he do this?"

Nangong Xun said: "Maybe the desperate situation he faced before he died was far more terrible than taking poison, and in the end he still took poison, but unfortunately before he died, he had been killed by that terrible desperate situation..."

Feng'er changed color slightly, and muttered, "What is that terrifying desperate situation..."

Nangong Xun was also silent this time.

He pondered an unsolvable mystery in his mind: what could make a living person choose to commit suicide by taking poison rather than escape or face it?

And what is the power that can turn a fresh dead body into a pile of bones?
