It turned out that the trees and green grass on this line had all died, revealing bare ground, which was particularly conspicuous in the middle of summer.

There is no vegetation, it is naturally gray.

Zhao Huan said: "I inquired, but there was no such gray line in the past. It was so weird that I wondered if it had something to do with the devil. But...... But I didn't dare to go to the other side of the mountain. ”

She looked at where the gray line pointed: "The locals call it 'Tiger and Wolf Valley', and I heard that the valley is full of poisonous insects and beasts. So ......"

"So I'll go with you. Lu Heng said. "Let's go, don't be afraid. Let's go now. ”

"Now, don't we need to prepare first?" Zhao Huanqi said.

"No, I don't. With me here, I don't have to prepare anything. ”

The two of them embarked on that gray road in this way.

There was a thin layer of frost on the dead trees and on the ground, as if the messengers of the harsh winter had been here. It's still terrible cold on the road. Zhao Huan hugged his shoulders tightly and followed behind Lu Heng.

She didn't know what kind of foresight Lu Heng had, and she actually wore a brocade sable fur that looked light and warm.

This is also too enviable.

The more she thought about it, the more cold she felt, her teeth chattered, and her legs could barely move.

At this time, Lu Heng suddenly stopped, took off his mink fur and threw it to Zhao Huan. "Put it on. ”

Miss Zhao was stunned: "What about you, Master Lu?"

"I don't need to. ”

Miss Zhao's face suddenly turned red. Lu Heng is very handsome, and he can be said to be a dazzling beautiful man. But he has a temperament that rejects people thousands of miles away, making it impossible for people to get close.

But this move just now broke Miss Zhao's impression, and now in her opinion, Lu Gongzi is so considerate, like a gentleman.

But when she shyly draped the mink fur on her body, she couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.

The clothes were cold, and they didn't look like they had been worn by anyone at all.

This Lu Gongzi seems to have no body temperature, and there is no heat from his soul to his heart.

Miss Zhao remembered a rumor she had heard: it was said that thousands of miles away from the West, there was a monster called the "Blood Clan". They are fair-skinned, extremely handsome, and immortal. But they don't have hearts, and only a few withered petals in their chests.

Miss Zhao couldn't help but be a little scared: Wouldn't this Lu Gongzi also be some kind of emotionless monster, right?

At this moment, I suddenly heard Lu Heng say, "It's here." ”

Miss Zhao retracted her thoughts and hurriedly looked around, only to see the cliffs slanting into the clouds, the grass under her feet was not growing, the strange rocks were craggy, and a thick and cold mist shrouded the surroundings, and even Lu Heng's figure was blurred.

I don't know how many ghosts and ghosts are hidden in this fog.

Miss Zhao seemed to be able to feel those cold breaths and gazes, and said in a trembling voice: "Lu ...... Lu Gongzi, why don't we come back next time. ”

Lu Heng smiled and said, "If you are afraid, go back alone, I will go shopping before leaving." ”

By this time, the fog had surrounded the two of them like a tidal wave, and a few steps away was chaos. Zhao Huan dared to go, and followed closely.

But seeing that Lu Heng was better than a leisurely stroll, any fog was useless to him.

He shuttled through the fog quickly and slowly, and suddenly his figure flashed and disappeared.

Zhao Huan was shocked and shouted, "Lu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi! Where are you?"

But's cry seemed to be eaten by the fog, and no echo could be heard.

Zhao Huan was really panicked, stretched out his hand and groped, and stumbled forward. I don't know how many turns I turned, and finally a figure appeared in the fog. She was overjoyed, pulled her legs and ran over, shouting, "Master Lu, I have found you!"

But when she got closer, she saw an ugly old tree, its hideous bark like a human face, staring at her fiercely.

Zhao Huan was startled, turned around and ran, but he crashed into another tree coldly.

The trunk and vines were like devil's clutches, holding Zhao Huan tightly.

She was so frightened that she screamed with all her might, "Help, help!"

At this time, the sword light suddenly flashed, the mist was dispelled a little, and the vines in Zhao Huan's hand cracked.

Lu Heng walked slowly from the fog, pulled her up, and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Nothing in this valley will hurt you. ”

Zhao Huan was shocked, took a breath, and asked, "Why?"

"Because this valley is dead. Lu Heng looked at the mist and said. "These are fog, resentment. Do you know the mirage?, these monsters can sometimes eat an entire city, then spit out the city's resentment, turning it into an illusion to lure new travelers into the bait. The fog here is something like that. ”

Zhao Huan was puzzled: "But this is Tiger and Wolf Valley, there should always be some wolves, insects, tigers and leopards or something, right?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "No." It's as quiet as a tomb, and there's only resentment. ”

Although Miss Zhao couldn't figure out the situation, she heard Lu Heng say that there were no beasts, after all, she felt a little at ease, remembered her mission, and said, "In that case, let's check the clues." ”

Lu Heng said with a smile: "You are very interesting, since you are so scared to death, why do you have to take the initiative to come over to investigate the case? You could have left it alone." ”

This sentence touched Zhao Huan's sadness. She lowered her head and was silent for a long time, and said, "Master Lu, I have a reason why I have to investigate, but I don't want to say it now, I will definitely tell you when the time is right."

This isn't the first time I've looked into a case. Every time I was about to give up, it was like losing to my own cowardice. I hated that feeling, so I kept holding on. I...... Sometimes I'm really tired, but I'm even more afraid of losing. ”

Lu Heng nodded and smiled, "Very good." ”

He's not the kind of person who comforts and doesn't know how to encourage others. But Lu Heng is like the strictest teacher, no matter how much you hate him, you will always gain something after getting along with him for a long time.

"In that case, we can't afford to let go of a single clue," he said. Come with me, I've found something for you. ”

The two walked about four or five miles one after the other, and Lu Heng suddenly stopped and said, "Okay, it's here, you can go by yourself." ”

Zhao Huan saw that something was towering in the mist, and said suspiciously: "Yes...... Is it a tower?" he said as he stepped forward.

Suddenly, she tripped over something under her feet, she fumbled to pick it up and take a look, and couldn't help but gasp, it was actually Duan Bai Sensen's animal bones.

She suddenly looked up and finally saw the whole picture of the "pagoda".

It is made of countless animal bones and has a total of thirteen layers. What jackals, tigers and leopards have become part of the tower. It stood so silently, as if it were a gift to the evil gods.

No wonder the resentment in the valley is so deep, it turns out that all living creatures have been killed.

Zhao Huan sat down on the ground with a puff, his teeth chattering, but he couldn't say a word.

At this time, Lu Heng held her shoulder behind her back and said, "Don't admit defeat." ”

Zhao Huan was refreshed when he heard these three words, closed his eyes, and concentrated on imagining the scene at that time.

In her mind, everything changed. Although Tiger Wolf Valley is no longer so lifeless, it is full of life and also hides deadly dangers. Countless pairs of hungry eyes were staring at themselves.

"I walked forward, forward, looking left and right. They covet my delicious flesh, but they don't know that the hunter has become the prey, and the prey is the prey.

I looked so weak, so helpless. If I was forced to do so when I was in Sweetwater Village, then this time I should have taken the initiative......"

She picked up a huge skull and gestured, "The first one to walk towards me is a tiger." He is the king of this valley and deserves it.

But I bit its throat.

The smell of blood filled the air, and more prey came. I don't have any burden on them. They want to use me as food, and they do it all for themselves.

The shepherd was the only one I felt guilty about.

In the end, I turned the hunt into a killing spree. I want to celebrate, I want to erect a monument to the evil gods!"

At this time, Zhao Huan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "No, this doesn't make sense......"

Lu Heng asked, "What's wrong?"

"The devil has guilt in his heart, and it uses killing as a cover, but why did he build this tower in the end? It doesn't make sense......

Zhao Huan stared blankly at the bone tower and muttered to himself, "Tell me, why is this?"

At this time, Lu Heng suddenly pulled out his sword and said with a smile: "I see that you seem to be a little tired, so let's stop today's work." ”

Zhao Huan fell into a trance, and said, "Mmmm, I'll take a look at ...... again"

Lu Heng grabbed her over, and at the same time the long sword was horizontal. Just listen to the loud sound of the bell, and the sparks splash everywhere. A huge copper hammer was shaken into the air, and a giant man appeared in their field of vision.

This person is too tall, his face is like an iron eye, and his eyes are like a knife, and he looks like a typical fan. He obviously didn't expect that his invincible copper hammer would be shaken away by a long sword weighing several pounds.

Lu Heng said: "You are good, but it is not very upright to sneak attack others, right?"

The giant man's cheeks were red and white, and he said in a not very proficient Chinese dialect: "It's none of my business......! It was Mr. Huo who asked me to do this!"

A person in the fog said with a smile: "The soldier is treacherous, if you don't carry out a sneak attack, won't you waste this rare thick fog?" Wearing a square scarf, he looks very chic.

Suddenly, another female voice said: "Mr. Huo, what nonsense are you talking about with such people? Just shoot him into a hedgehog!"

But I saw that it was a woman who spoke, in her twenties, adorned with silver, and her gestures were obviously from an extraordinary background. She carried 12 throwing knives pinned to her waist, each dragging red tassels, making the whole person look both heroic and pretty.

The scholar said: "The princess must not be impatient, have you forgotten the events of Yacheng that day?"

The woman nodded, "I know." Then he pointed at Lu Heng and said, "Hey, did you kill the villagers of Sweet Water Village?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "No." ”

The woman glared: "Fart, the evidence is conclusive, do you dare to deny it?"

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Then why do you still want to ask me?"

The woman couldn't answer, snorted, ignored him first, and then said to Zhao Huan: "Little girl, I heard that you are going around pretending to be my name to deceive, but is there such a thing?"

Zhao Huan was shocked: "You are Princess Yinling?"
