It was late autumn, the leaves were scattered, and it was late at night, and the wind was blowing, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little cold, and they tightened their sleeves and walked forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a light rain fell in the sky, and in the middle of the night, everyone ran forward.

Finally, when the rain was at its highest, he ran into a makeshift shelter.

Midnight wringed the water on his coat, and looked at the pouring rain outside, so he could only arrange for everyone to stay here and leave in a few hours.

Li Xiang picked up the firewood that was placed not far away, lit the torches, and everyone took off their coats and sat around to make a fire.

"Have you ever heard of the legend of the Demon Cave?" Feng Yuan tried to open her mouth, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Li Xiang, and she threw a fruit at Feng Yuan.

"Don't say it, it's always made up by adults to scare children, it's all fake"

"Why don't you let me say it, it's nothing to do now anyway, it's going to rain for at least a few hours, and I'm idle anyway"

"Don't say it, you have to say it, Sun Qing is timid, you don't know, I'm scared when the time comes, you carry a shield" Li Xiang shot back dissatisfiedly.

"I'll carry it, I'll carry it, just my body, if it weren't for the earth-based ability, I would definitely go to the shield position" Feng Yuan muttered dissatisfiedly.

Then I heard a faint voice:

"I want to know ......"

They turned their heads and saw that it was Sun Qing, although his face was pale, but he had a serious expression, "What if...... It's better to know a little bit of news first, maybe it's safer"

Hearing him say this, Feng Yuan laughed out loud and slapped his palm on the shoulder:

"I'll just say it! It's so scary, it's just a story! ”

After speaking, he glanced at Ling Ye and Huang Junming opposite, and saw that the two did not object, so he began to talk to himself:

"Once upon a time there was a man, he was the son of a noble family, and their family only had this one child, and there was nothing lacking in anything, but since he was born, his face was full of wrinkles, like a centenarian, with ravines and ravines, as long as he smiled, the wrinkles moved together, and from a distance, it was like maggots crawling on his face"

His mother, because of the child's appearance, was always questioned that she was a cursed person to give birth to such a child, and finally his mother committed suicide by jumping out of the window on a rainy night, and since then, he has locked himself in his room and never came out again, and his father married a beautiful woman, and when the woman became pregnant, the man was also an adult, and his father let him go on a blind date, but how could any woman look down on him, so after being rejected one after another, When he learned that his father was going to give the title to his unborn brother, he was moved to kill."

"He said, 'I can't have nothing, no joy, no freedom, no love, I can't lose even that little bit of power,' so he killed his father, and took his stepmother and children with him, and he thought that in this way he could inherit the title, but the people could not accept a cruel and ugly man as a lord, so they all rushed into his castle, dragged him from the throne, and put him to death."

"This ...... Isn't it just a tragic story? Ling Ye scratched his ears, "It's still an ending, what does it have to do with the Demon Cave?" ”

"Oh, don't worry, it's not over yet, here's the really terrifying part" Feng Yuan waved his hand and continued:

"Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, and a new nobleman was elected as the lord, but who knew that the new nobleman had just sat on the throne for less than a day, and when the guards went to see it the next morning, they found that his face was gone"

"What do you mean your face is gone?" Ling Ye asked puzzled.

"There are only muscles and blood vessels inside, but the skin is gone, and the tissues inside are intact, there is no trace of damage, the new nobles still want to continue to be kings, but the people don't agree, who can accept a faceless man as a lord, so he was dismissed, and a new person was promoted, who knew that the same thing happened again"

"People gradually understood that this was a man's curse, as long as he sat on that throne, he would encounter the same fate, and from then on, no one went to Xiao Xiang that position, but the curse did not stop, at first it was people who had been to the castle, and small wrinkles appeared on their faces, and then the wrinkles would continue to grow and grow, until the whole face could not bear to burst open, and the skins of each other fell off like this, and were picked up by a transparent thing"

"Transparent?"

"Yes, you can't see it, you can't touch the flesh, but it does exist, it will take the skin and put it on the throne, and it is said that when the 100 faces are filled, the man's body will be reborn from hell, and once reborn, he will kill all the living things in the land, so everyone has moved out of there, and it is also called the 'devil's cave', and only demons will enter there"

"Huh? Did he save enough for 100? Ling Ye asked, tilting his head.

"I heard that there is still 1 piece missing, as long as it is on a rainy night, people who travel will see its shadow, and when they turn around at that time, they will be stolen by him......"

With a loud "bang", lightning pierced the sky, and everyone was startled, only to find that Sun Qing had curled up in the corner and shivered, and his mouth was still muttering:

"Don't take my face, don't scratch my ......"

"It's a trick to scare children, tell them not to go out on rainy nights, don't walk around late at night, I'm not afraid after I'm 7 years old" Li Xiang waved his hand.

"That means that before the age of 7, I am still afraid......" Feng Yuan smiled.

"Actually, there is another version, it's simpler" Li Xiang turned his face and didn't look at Fengyuan, "There is a kind of monster that can't be seen by human eyes, and it likes to eat people's faces"

"Ahh Sun Qing screamed, hugged his head and cried.

"Hey! I said that what you are talking about is even more terrifying" Fengyuan "tsk" twice, "Sure enough, the shorter the story, the more frightening"

Everyone chatted for a while, and then began to tell the story of what happened in the camp, and the terrifying atmosphere was dispelled a lot, and Sun Qing sat back with a cower.

"When will the rain stop?" Fengyuan asked.

"I don't know," everyone shook their heads.

"And how long are we going to go?"

Ling Ye glanced at the map and replied:

"I don't know, I can only say it's fast, I walked about half the way, if it wasn't to hide from the rain, I should be able to get there before dawn"

"Well, eat some fruit, I'm a little hungry"

He touched his stomach and smiled happily when he saw Li Xiang throwing a few fruits over.

Suddenly, a smile froze on his face:

"Hands! Hand! ”

"What hand?" Li Xiang was puzzled and looked at her palm, "What's wrong with my hand?" ”

"You have a hand in your face!"
