Chapter 500: Bones

However, the mud was soft and there were a lot of fallen leaves, so it didn't take two climbs before it slipped down again.

And that feeling of being watched is getting worse and worse.

Just as he was about to try again, something tapped on his shoulder.

She gasped sharply, and her whole body froze, but there was no movement behind her.

I thought maybe it was an illusion...... I reached out and grabbed a branch, and the feeling came again.

She didn't dare to move, and there was still no movement behind her.

"Who?"

No one answered her, and she was the only one around.

She didn't dare to turn around to look, and once she didn't move, her surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if even her breath had stopped flowing.

But there seems to be something in this quiet, lying motionless, waiting for the moment when he turns around......

She maintained that position, stood there for a long time, and a numb sensation came from the soles of her feet, before she took a deep breath, squeezed her hands, and then turned around sharply!

In an instant, all kinds of terrifying conjectures jumped into my mind.

However, there was nothing in sight.

She let out a long breath, but at the same time, something rustled twice above her head, and then fell from it with the remnants of grass and leaves, hanging in front of her eyes, swaying up and down.

She froze in place, unable to even make a sound.

Falling from above, it turned out to be the skeleton of a human being, suspended in front of her in a distorted position.

The flesh and skin were almost completely rotten and the head was a skeleton, with black holes and a half-open mouth, as if it was smiling at someone.

It's been many years since then, and the clothes on the bones have turned into strips of cloth.

She stared at the skeleton for a moment, then brushed it aside with her hand, turned and walked away.

She didn't take two steps before she tripped over something, and when she looked down, she found another corpse, lying face up on the ground, one arm across her chest and the other outstretched, finger bones hooking her trouser legs.

She kicked the bones away in disgust, and found that there were more than a dozen skeletons around here, as if they had died here at the same time.

The degree of decay is similar, with different postures, scattered around, like a mass grave.

She took a step to the side, kicked her foot like a clatter, and looked down to see that it was a long rusty knife.

Stoop down and pick it up, using it to pluck through the branches and leaves that cover the ground, or the vines that wrap around the bones.

She noticed that the men all seemed to be carrying knives, about a dozen or so people.

The master of Fengmen Mountain knew the danger in the depths of the mountains and forests, but there was no other way.

If the officers and soldiers were introduced into the cottage, the casualties in the cottage would be greater, so they took the tribute and went into the depths of Yunmian Mountain......

More than ten days later, only one of the big bosses came out of the mountains and forests in haggard shape and ragged clothes.

The brothers who went in with them were all gone, not even the tribute......

"Should it be ......" Thinking of Ayi's words, Leng Tongxiang looked sideways at the bones.

Could these people be the people who came to the depths of Yunmian Mountain with the big boss forty years ago with tribute gifts to avoid being pursued by officers and soldiers?

But why are they all dying here?

I saw that some of the bones were mutilated, and I don't know if they were bitten by wild beasts in the mountains after death, or if they had a fight before they died......

That's right!

Leng Tongxiang had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Since the stream at the foot of Yunmian Mountain washes down some gold, silver and jade artifacts in tribute from time to time.

And if these people are really those people back then, then the lost tribute should be nearby!

There should also be a mountain stream that flows all the way outside.

Leng Tongxiang closed his eyes and listened quietly, the rustling around was the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and then it was almost inaudible, and there was the sound of rushing water mixed in.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and walked by feeling towards the place where there was the sound of water.

Just as her figure was gradually hidden by the bushes, a pair of shoeed human feet appeared where she had been standing, stepping on the finger bones of one of the corpses, and the broken bones made a small sound.

At the same time, a strangely shaped leaf fell and lay quietly among the fallen leaves on the ground, unbelievably emitting a faint white light.

She had not gone far before the sound of the water became clearer, and the trees ahead were bright, and the golden sunlight dappled and leaped between the trees.

As I walked there at a faster pace, I felt that my eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Just as he walked out of the woods and reached the full light, the light shone to a blinding degree, almost instantaneously.

She felt as if the white light had invaded her mind, erasing all the images in her mind, and she quickly closed her eyes......

When I opened my eyes again, I only felt very cold, and the surroundings were very dark, and the body was hard, uneven, and a little awkward.

I felt my hand to the side and felt the weeds.

She didn't know why she was lying on the ground, with fireflies flying around, and through the dark curtain, she saw many stars set on it like jewels.

"How so?" Leng Tongxiang sat up suddenly.

Obviously, it was still early in the morning when I entered the mountain, why did it get dark after a while?

And it's not the place I used to be.

She held her head in some pain, and only remembered that she had walked to a very bright place.

But what happened after that? I can't remember it at all.

What's going on?

Suddenly, she saw a person lying next to her.

Qin Dahai!

She shook him quickly, "Qin Hongren? Reds? Wake up! ”

So that he didn't react, and the hand he touched was cold and stiff, Leng Tongxiang was stunned, trembling his fingers stretched out to the end of Qin Dahai's nose, and then as if he had been burned by fire, he suddenly took his fingers back.

He's dead? There seems to be a hint of anger left......

Leng Tongxiang twisted his eyebrows, and the Wuju red man died in this place......

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she couldn't leave the other party alone, so she was an official of the imperial court, and she got along quite well these days, at least she was a friend.

She lifted Qin Dahai on her back, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Hold steady, I'll take you back to see the doctor immediately." ”

As soon as he picked up Qin Dahai and walked two steps, he tripped over something, and the whole person fell down.

Leng Tongxiang looked at the thing that tripped over him unhappily, his eyes couldn't help but widen, his mouth was half open, and his face was full of shock.

It's actually a three-in-command!

He was covered in blood, and there were three cuts on his chest and abdomen that seemed to have been torn open by the claws of some ferocious beast.

The flesh of the wound turned outward, and the flesh was blurred.

What's going on? What's so weird about this place?

She froze.

It wasn't until there was a soft snort with pain from the third master that her blank mind regained a glimmer of consciousness.
