Chapter 209: A Strange Smell of Spices
The man's eyes looked a little confusing.
His eyes were bright, but there was something that made me feel close to madness.
"Brother, don't be in a hurry and speak slowly." I was afraid that he would do something strange when he went crazy, so I communicated with him verbally, hoping to relax him.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm, and I was so frightened that I took two steps back, but he didn't give in and reached harder.
I could feel the obvious tremor in his hand, which made me not know his next move, and I was afraid that he would stab me every minute.
He began to say something I didn't understand, as if he was describing the so-called monster he saw.
But it seems that everything is imagined by him, and there is no such monster at all.
The two men who followed him down the mountain were in the same situation.
I couldn't tell for a moment whether they were clear or not.
Dong Jing, who was next to me, said: "They should have lost their souls in this case, and it is very likely that they will be lost on the mountain." ”
Her words made me even more confused, if there was nothing terrible on the mountain, how could I leave my soul there?
"You're from Black Seedling, aren't you?" Another man looked at me.
A few of you looked at each other, not knowing what to answer.
But it was clear from the look in his eyes that he had no ill intentions.
"I heard that Crossbow Xiang ran to your side to join you, his brother is still on the top of the mountain and is being controlled by that monster, you should hurry up and save him, if he goes on like this, he will probably die."
I nodded: "Then tell me what direction it is?" ”
"Go up from here," the man said, pointing to a mountain path, and said to us, "until we reach the top of the mountain, and the monster is at the mouth of the cave at the top of the mountain." If you go up now, you will probably arrive tomorrow morning, and remember to hide tonight, otherwise there will be other beasts attacking you. You have to figure out the rest of the things yourself, and we can't give you too many clues, so let's not talk about it, we have to go home, and we have to take the money home. ”
As he spoke, the man took out a cloth bag from his bosom, which was also a pile of stones when he opened it.
These people are really weird, and all the behaviors they do, make me feel that they are not normal people.
After letting them go, I don't know if we should follow their advice and follow the path they showed us.
Dai Ji didn't think much about it, he took a step directly and went to the top of the mountain.
Although a few of us followed, we kept a certain distance from him.
Usiken was next to me, and he asked, "Do you think what they said is correct?" ”
I shook my head: "If there really is a so-called monster, as long as he howls or walks, the whole mountain should hear or feel his presence, but we have been in this mountain for so long, we don't feel the existence of a monster at all." So I got to the top of the mountain to judge whether what they said was correct or not. ”
Before, I did see snow monsters when I went to the snowy mountains.
His height is much taller than normal, and his weight is naturally the same, so when he moves, the whole mountain will tremble with it.
Just when I was still wondering, there was a sudden howl that shook the whole mountain.
I immediately felt a panic in my heart.
It's like that's the big guy they say.
Originally, if the monster hadn't been for a long time, we would have at least reached the top of the mountain to know the answer, but now his howl let us know the answer in advance, and let us know that there is indeed such a monster waiting for us on it.
At this time, it was not only me, but even Al sensed that something was wrong, and his whole face turned pale.
"We've only walked a little bit now, if you're scared, go back, you're young, there's no need to spend time here with us."
My kind reminder.
Ayrt shook his head: "No way, I have to go up." ”
I looked back at Usiken, who didn't show any expression, as if he knew Al wasn't going to leave.
In that case, I didn't say anything more, and we moved on.
The more I walked up to the top of the mountain, the more I smelled a strange scent.
If I'm not mistaken, the scent is probably the herb that Usiken said earlier.
But it's strange that when I smelled this fragrance at his house before, I felt drowsy, and I slept very soundly.
But this time, I felt groggy and groggy with a lead bag hanging on my feet, and I couldn't lift my feet at all.
I don't know how long I walked by will, everyone was a little tired, and by this time it was already dark.
"You find a place to spend the night first, those people just said that there may be other mountain spirits and wild monsters at night, and if we encounter wolves and other animals, we will be very dangerous." As he spoke, he began to look around for a suitable place for us to stay.
Dai Ji, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "Go a little further, there is a ruined temple in front." We can stay there tonight and tomorrow we will be walking up and soon to the top. ”
Dai Ji said as he turned his head to look at us.
I haven't noticed that he didn't turn his head, and at this time, Dai Ji was already bleeding from his nose.
"What's wrong with you?" I panicked a little and quickly took out a cotton ball from the treasure bag and asked him to stop the bleeding.
He wiped a handful of nosebleeds with his hand, and motioned to me that I was okay and that we should hurry up.
I guess it's probably the spice that makes everyone's sanity fall into confusion.
That's when I figured it out.
It is very likely that those who are chattering with gods have stayed in this mountain for too long, and have been eroded by the spice.
Dong Jing took out a small gourd and gave each of us a black pill.
"Let's eat it first, this is good for cold blood. I reckon this spice will make people angry and eat away at the sanity. ”
Everyone was skeptical, but they still took the pill.
It didn't take long for me to feel a little more comfortable, so we continued on our way.
According to Dai Ji, after not going far, there is indeed a ruined temple, and we plan to stay here.
By this time it was already completely dark, and we had cleaned up the ruined temple a little, intending to lie down and wait for dawn.
However, the matter is far from over, and the darker it gets, the more things have to be faced in this mountain.
