Chapter 161: The Black Curtain (6)

Ao Xingfeng followed Tanaka Hidematsu and a group of soldiers out of Sintia City and into the forest in the valley. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"This is?" Ao Xingfeng frowned and squatted down, grabbing a handful of dirt and rubbing it in his hands.

In front of Ao Xingfeng's eyes is a piece of soil that has been turned up, many tree roots seem to have been artificially planed, messily sticking out from the ground, and the soil in Ao Xingfeng's hands is yellow and powdery.

"I don't know, but I'm sure no one has ever entered here. Hidematsu Tanaka replied.

"It's strange, I remember it rained only two days ago, how could this dirt do this?" Ao Xingfeng stood up and looked around again.

At a glance, the range of hundreds of meters is full of upturned land, and a few big trees have withered and yellowed, and the forest is quiet, as if there is no trace of life.

After turning around, Ao Xingfeng found that the depletion of the ground seemed to be expanding, but he didn't know what the reason was.

"Xingfeng. ”

When Ao Xingfeng was investigating the cause, Xia flew over from the sky and landed next to Ao Xingfeng.

"What is this situation, have you seen it?" Ao Xingfeng asked suspiciously, expecting the well-informed Xia to give an answer.

Xia seriously picked up a handful of dirt and sniffed it in front of her nose: "It should be some kind of curse, has something happened here?"

Tanaka Hidematsu lowered his head again and again, as if he was thinking about something.

"What did you find?" Ao Xingfeng asked.

Tanaka recalled, "This is the periphery of the forbidden area, and there are usually soldiers patrolling, but I remember a month ago, a soldier reported something very strange. He didn't know if there was a relationship between the two.

Ao Xingfeng and Xia clasped their hands with a deferential expression, Tanaka Hidematsu sighed, and began to describe it vividly according to his memory.

......

It was an unusual night, and the soldiers on their daily patrol stopped at the edge of the forest.

"Well, what's that?" the soldier held out his torch, the light of the fire illuminated a small area, and despite the poor vision, the soldier was sure of what he had just seen.

A shadow of a white glow flickered through the woods, which was anything but unusual.

In order to find out the truth, the young soldier emboldened, grasped the torch with one hand and pressed the other hand on the hilt of the sword, and walked cautiously towards the woods.

The sky was not beautiful, dark clouds filled the night sky, the moonlight and starlight were completely blocked by dark clouds, and the already dark woods became even more gloomy.

The drizzle began to fall, and the soldier stopped his steps and looked with some trepidation at the quieter woods ahead.

Why is it so quiet, except for the sound of light rain beating on the leaves, quietly, obviously on a summer night, why can't you hear the sound of insects?" thought the young soldier.

The soldier began to be a little frightened, remembering the legends of ghosts in his hometown, and wondering if it would be better to go back.

Just when the soldier was about to turn away!

In the silence of the night, the crisp sound of a tree branch breaking came from behind the soldier.

"Who!" the soldier's voice was distorted with fear, and he stiffened and turned to hold the torch in front of him.

"What, it's a hare? yes, how can there be any ghosts here, I'm too sensitive. Even for a moment, the soldier did see a hare fleeing, so he silently comforted himself with fear.

The woods were quiet again, and the drizzle was still falling, and the torches were rustling with a light rain, and the flames were beating uneasily.

"You can't extinguish it, or I'll lose sight of anything. The soldier was a little worried, it was now dark and raining, and if the torches were extinguished later, he would have to find his way back in the dark.

The soldiers scurried with some urgency, trying to get back to the road before the torches were extinguished.

However, as he walked and walked, the surrounding woods remained unchanged.

"I've just been here. When the soldier saw the big tree that had been marked with a notch, he said with some fear, why did he come back here, he was obviously going straight in one direction.

The torches were getting darker and darker, and I didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, and the young soldier always felt that something was staring at him around him.

Fearing the danger of falling into the dark, the young soldier found a hollow dead log and drilled into it.

"Well, I wish they had noticed that I was not there sooner and would have come looking for me in the woods. The young soldier expected his teammates to find out about his disappearance as soon as possible, and with the torch planted aside, the soldier sat on the ground and leaned against the wall inside the tree, quietly watching the light rain outside.

The beating flames, the warm space, the ticking rain, the soldiers hiding in small tree hollows, perhaps feeling safe, tiredness came like a tidal wave, and their eyelids grew heavier......

Tick-tock! An exceptionally loud sound of water drops sounded in this small space.

"Am I asleep?" the young soldier rubbed his eyes, his mind still a little blurred.

"Ahh

At this moment, a pure white reindeer with a soft light appeared in front of the soldier's eyes.

The soldier froze, maintaining his hand for the torch.

The reindeer raised his head, took a few more steps in one direction, then looked back at the soldier in the hollow of the tree, and motioned for him to follow.

The soldier swallowed nervously and slowly climbed out of the tree hole.

With the soft light emitted by the reindeer, the soldier could at least see the ground beneath his feet, and the reindeer deliberately slowed down to allow the soldier to follow.

I don't know how long I walked, but the reindeer stopped.

"How.. What's wrong?" asked the young soldier, a little nervous.

The reindeer looked up into the distance, and the soldier followed his gaze, and the light of many torches flickered outside the woods.

"Ahh

The soft light dissipated, and the reindeer turned into a pile of dirt in the soldier's shocked eyes, and the soldier ran out of the woods in some shock.

......

"Are you saying that the reindeer turned into a pile of dirt right here?" Ao Xingfeng listened to this wonderful rumor and looked at the dirt that had been turned up around him in surprise.

Tanaka Hidematsu nodded: "But this is all what the soldier said, except for a pile of dirt at that time, I have sent people to look for it in the forest at night, and I have not encountered the same encounter as him." ”

"Hmm... But this story doesn't make sense, the reindeer turned into a pile of dirt here, why did the reindeer turn up the dirt here after so long? Even if the reindeer are real, there is no connection between the two except that they happened in the same place, and I can't think of a reason why the reindeer would destroy the earth. Kasumi reasoned.

Ao Xingfeng nodded in agreement.

"But apart from this strange thing, nothing else has happened. Tanaka Hidematsu said distressedly, if he didn't really have a clue, he wouldn't have told this information that he didn't know whether it was true or false.
