Getting closer, it was as if a certain line had suddenly been breached, and an unusually strong smell of blood came to the face.

Rowan covered his mouth and nose and immediately realized that the soup was actually blood!

There may be humans in this world who eat flesh and blood, but they are certainly rare.

"There's something wrong with this group of people!"

Rowan's body gently stroked the faceless black hair on the cliff, and his mind quickly calmed down.

"Petting a cat really calms people. ”

Rowan continued to manipulate the little bald head to descend.

When I was about 10 meters above the ground, I came into view of something that was hidden by the bulges and leaves on the mountain wall.

The first thing Rowan noticed was a pile of bones in the corner of the cliff, the pile of bones was covered with tattered clothes, and the skin and flesh had been eaten by wild beasts, which should be the bones of the three Hu Han brothers.

Next to the bones, there was a tripod, on which lay the corpse of a large beast, the head of which had been cut off, and all the blood that flowed from the neck was caught in a wooden basin.

When the blood in the tub was almost full, the man who was sitting next to him stood up, scooped a spoonful of blood with a scoop, and then put it in his mouth and took a sip, with an expression of intoxication on his face as if he were tasting fairy wine.

Soon, all the people gathered around it, some who drank the blood raw, and some who boiled the blood and drank it as soup, and when the head of the beast in the pot was eaten, someone cut off a leg from the carcass of the beast and continued to eat it!

It's a shame that they eat wild beasts raw, otherwise Rowan would have already slapped the door panel (knife qi) and directly slapped them into ashes.

There were several large trees growing on the side of the mountain wall next to the convoy, and the light of the firewood could not shine through the dense foliage, so Rowan hovered behind the branches and leaves, quietly observing the group of people.

Finally, the huge beast was eaten by all eight of them, and the man in charge of them finally let out a breath and spoke after swallowing the last piece of flesh!

"Ma Dan, since I got this blood plague, I always feel like a different person, I just don't want to talk until I have eaten and drunk!"

The other sentry also threw the bone in his hand and sighed: "This is supposed to be the root nature passed down from the bloodline, I have heard that those bloodlines never make a sound when they eat, they regard eating as a ritual, and they will thank the heaven and earth nature that gave them flesh and blood in their hearts. ”

The man who burned the wood laughed and said, "These are just small details, and these costs are worth it for the sake of immortality." ”

The man who sorted out his weapons immediately agreed: "That's right, for immortality!"

The car watcher also touched the blood from the corner of his mouth, and grinned: "For immortality!"

"For immortality!"

"For immortality!"

......

The flames on the pyre swayed in the wind, the dim light of the fire shining on their faces, and the corners of each person's mouth unconsciously pulled outward, revealing a little bloodshot tooth.

Some are hideous, some are eerie.

The night breeze rustled the leaves and leaves, and the sand on the mountain road rolled slowly on the ground.

The roar of the beast came faintly from the mountains on either side, but it was not as sustained as the sound of the insects.

Eight people packed up their things, sat on the trailer in twos and threes, leaned back to the sack, chatted with each other, and the whole atmosphere relaxed.

If it weren't for Rowan seeing the end from the beginning, most people would have thought they were just ordinary travelers.

But can people who can return from Xizhou be ordinary?

Luo Wen quietly listened to their conversation, thinking about the meaning of their words: "Blood plague, blood blood, immortality, three key words. This is a group of people who have traveled to Xizhou in search of the elixir of immortality. And it's a group of people who have something to gain. But I heard that there are strange beasts rampant on the road to Xizhou, and even the monks dare not set foot easily, these people obviously don't have much strong breath on their bodies, why can they come back alive?"

Thinking of Wu Peng, thinking of soul swallowing, Rowan felt more and more that there was a problem hidden in it.

But suddenly his ears moved, and he heard one of them say, "Speaking of which, have you noticed that there is a golden light flickering on the top of the cliff above us all the time?"

This man was previously in charge of the spoon, and his name is unknown, but his companions call him "Xiong Qi".

Judging from his appearance alone, Xiong Qi is about forty years old, very old, and has a deep fishtail at the corner of his eyes.

The topics of this night were basically brought up by him.

And when Xiong Qi mentioned the golden light on his head, everyone else also responded, they actually noticed it, but they just came back, and they didn't want to make any trouble, so they didn't mention it.

After being silent for a long time, Xiong Qi suddenly said, "Do you want to go and see?"

"No, I don't think so. "Do you remember the year we set out from Dongzhou? That year, we also walked through this mountain road, but did you see golden light on the mountain?"

Burning wood laughed: "How can I remember something so far ago?"

The sentry shook his head and said, "Anyway, I remember, there is no light on that mountain." ”

Xiong Qi exhaled: "I know what you want to say, there was no light before, but now there is light, that is, that light has only appeared in the past few years." It's a variable!"

The sentry said: "If there are variables, we will hide, isn't this the code we have always believed?"

But Xiong Qi said: "But that's in the past." Now we have returned! We have gone through countless hardships and crises, and we have finally returned! We are different from the past, we not only have great strength, but also have immortal bodies!"

The sentry shook his head: "So what? I just want to bring the immortal medicine back to the royal capital, sell it to the princes, and become a feudal official! My intuition tells me that the glow on the mountain is not a good thing." If you want to see it, do it yourself, and don't try to drag me into troubled waters. ”

After he finished speaking, Xiong Qi suddenly showed a kind smile: "I'm just joking." I finally came back alive, how could I take some unnecessary risks? We walked for nearly a day and a night, and we were all tired. Sleep now, sleep and wake up, and we can meet our future. ”

Taking this as an opportunity, they stopped talking, and all moved out of the car to a corner, leaning or lying down, and gradually fell asleep.

The campfire went out, the moonlight faded, and darkness shrouded it.

The golden light above his head became more and more dazzling, shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves, like the golden country in his dreams.

Xiong Qi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were wide open, only staring at the golden light, without blinking.

After a few minutes, he closed his eyes, opened them again, and then quietly got up, staring at his companions around him.

"The elixir of immortality, I am alone, the elixir of immortality ......"
