Chapter 606: The Heart of the Serpent and Scorpion (II)
I looked up and saw that there was only a lonely mountain in the northwest direction, and when I looked in my direction, I couldn't even see a single sporadic light.
Entering the mountain rashly is a taboo, and entering the mountain at night is a taboo among the taboos! Taking Yu Lan into an unfamiliar mountain at night is full of risks in itself. I weighed it repeatedly for a long time, but I still chose to save people, I looked back at Yu Lan, and said seriously: "Take outdoor equipment, go into the mountains, save people!" ”
Yu Lan was not ambiguous at all, went to the car and quickly sorted out the equipment, took some necessary equipment such as a distress post and a mountaineering pickaxe, and my backpack full of magic weapons, and hurried into the mountain.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I was confused again, such a big mountain, where to search for people?
At a cursory glance, this is not a barren mountain that has been uninhabited all year round, but the traces of footprints can be faintly seen, but the road in this mountain is very muddy, and the footprints are mixed together, and there is no way to distinguish them.
Yu Lan bent over, the bright flashlight in his hand was constantly sweeping the ground, and suddenly, Yu Lan called me softly: "What do you think this is?" ”
I quickly turned around, and by the strong light of the flashlight, I recognized at a glance that what Yu Lan was holding was the old shepherd's hat! Yu Lan and I coincidentally set their eyes on the place where we picked up the hat, there was indeed a road on it.
After a brief hesitation, I whispered: "Let's go, go up and take a look, if there are dates, there are no dates to hit a rod first!" ”
"Okay."
The mountain at night is not pure black, but a deep inky blue, the sky in the distance shows a little bit of light, the withered yellow branches occasionally make a faint clicking sound, the mud road under the feet is frozen a little hard, but the freeze is not strong, a little force, the feet are very easy to slip.
The two of us slowly shuttled through this dark wood, walking and using luminous powder to make a few numbers on the ground, once we got lost in the mountains, we could finally find it back the same way. After walking for a while, a cliff-like slope suddenly appeared on the relatively flat ground, and there were obviously a lot more trees around it, and it was estimated that it should be almost to the top of the mountain. In the shadowy woods, there seemed to be something standing in the shadows, and at a cursory glance, it was much higher than the canopy of the surrounding trees.
I stuck the pickaxe into the crack of the stone with one hand, and after a few tentative pulls, I pulled Yu Lan with one hand and pushed up a few steps hard. We reached the slope, and around a few large abrupt rocks, we got closer and closer to the shadow, and my heart beat faster.
To be on the safe side, I found a relatively low stone and Yu Lan lay on his stomach, I took out a flashlight from my arms, turned on the brightness to the strongest, and slammed forward, it was really a person in front! This man is the old shepherd!
Yu Lan's face was happy: "Hey? Found it! ”
As he was talking, Yu Lan was about to stand up, but was pulled back by me: "No, normal people will definitely turn back if they are exposed to strong light." ”
"And what do you mean?"
I looked solemnly ahead: "Hang the safety rope on me, I will go to the front to explore the way, I will pull it three times, it means safety, if there is danger, I will directly cut off the rope, you must protect yourself." ”
Yu Lan smiled after hearing this, and without thinking about it, he quickly hung the safety rope on me.
Then, Yu Lan put down a black cloth bag from his shoulder, which was the ancestral crossbow of the Yu family. I asked, somewhat surprised, "When did you bring this with you?" ”
"Cut, I'm not stupid." Saying that, Yu Lan had already put the arrow into the crossbow trough, and said, "Let's still cooperate." I nodded, "Stay safe." ”
With that, I bent down and walked forward slowly, staring intently at the person in front of me......
