A bug crawled on his face, he lowered his head to smell it, and then took a hard bite.
Meng Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was green. The dense trees saved him and buffered most of the force of the fall.
He slowly sat up and found that his body was aching again and there were more than a dozen wounds.
Meng Xiao grinned and gasped, still recovering from the shock.
He looked around and saw dense trees of all kinds, the density of which exceeded his imagination.
Suddenly, Meng Xiao saw the bag he was carrying not far away.
He endured the pain and walked over, took out the medicine he always kept when hunting, swallowed a few pills, and then took out a few patches of traditional Chinese medicine and applied it to the sprained area.
After a long time, Meng Xiao felt much better, and the injured area was somewhat relieved, so he stood up and looked around.
He didn't know the exact location here, but the extremely dense jungle around him still gave him a chill.
Meng Xiao found a relatively spacious place and dove in.
Although his town was approximately in the northeast, Meng Xiao had no choice but to head southwest first. At least get out of the area and find a spacious place to continue.
The trees and weeds here were very densely spaced. Meng Xiao had no tools, so he could only break a thick branch and cut through the thorns all the way, at a very slow speed.
The tall and dense jungle made the light penetration rate here very poor, the humidity was extremely high, and the air pressure was also very low. Meng Xiao felt that he had difficulty breathing.
After walking for more than an hour, he only advanced a few dozen meters. This had already left his whole body covered in scars and his progress was even slower.
Suddenly, his foot stepped on nothing, and he fell down, rolling like a stone.
"Ouch~ Oh my god...fuck!"
Meng Xiao finally stopped, and the pain all over his body made him unable to help but curse.
After a moment of relief, he realized that the large area in front of him was very empty, completely different from the previous environment.
Meng Xiao stood up and looked around. Although there were not many trees here, the weeds were very dense, most of them over one meter high.
Has it already come out?
Meng Xiao cried with joy and walked forward regardless of the pain in his body.
After walking through several dense trees and grass, he suddenly found several houses ahead.
This is the village!
Meng Xiao was very excited and ran over rolling and crawling.
But the further he walked, the harder it became for him to breathe and his legs became heavier, as if he was carrying someone on his back.
The sky here is very dark, even darker than the dense jungle just now.
After running to the house, Meng Xiao discovered that it was an abandoned earthen house with overgrown weeds. It looked like no one had lived in it for many years.
He then checked several houses nearby, and they were all in the same situation.
Meng Xiao was depressed now. He could only continue walking inside, hoping to find
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
To what.
Soon, he came to a small bridge.
The bridge is only five or six meters long, and the riverbed underneath has long become an overgrown area.
Meng Xiao vaguely seemed to notice something next to the bridge.
He walked closer and dug through the weeds and saw a stone tablet more than one meter high, which had been weathered over time.
Meng Xiao carefully cleaned the dirt on it, and the last three words gradually emerged: Heihe Village.
Black River Village?
Meng Xiao tried hard to think about the name. He had lived here for decades, and he knew all the villages within a few hundred miles.
But I had no impression of this Heihe Village. It was the first time I saw it.
He slowly walked across the small and pitiful bridge. Behind a forest in front of him, dozens of houses stood there. They were all earthen structures. More than half of them had collapsed, and the others were on the verge of destruction.
The place is completely lifeless. Apart from trees and weeds, there is no other life in sight, not even a bug. The ubiquitous birds seemed to have disappeared here, and it was eerily quiet.
Meng Xiao felt uneasy. He didn't know where this place was or why it looked like this. It looked like it had been abandoned for at least several decades.
Looking at the deserted and dilapidated village, he could only slowly explore forward, hoping to find a water source.
This area is large and should look like the center of the village. The weeds are growing like crazy, many of them are almost as tall as a person.
Meng Xiao sat on a stone to rest, not knowing what to do next.
Not a single wild beast was seen for half a day, not even insects, and there was no water source. He felt a little panic and felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time!
When Meng Xiao was thinking about how to go out, he suddenly felt difficulty breathing, as if someone was sitting on his chest.
A few dozen meters away, a ball of black air suddenly appeared, as big as a watermelon.
The black air slowly and repeatedly traveled back and forth like the letter "N", leaving behind a black mist wherever it passed, filling the houses and the grass.
The black energy slowly approached Meng Xiao in a fan shape. Although the distance was still relatively far, he could already feel the danger.
Meng Xiao stood up and quickly looked around, and found that there seemed to be a well not far away.
He quickly ran over and lay down at the mouth of the well to look down. Because the light was very dark, he couldn't see what was going on underneath.
Meng Xiao picked up a stone and threw it in. There was a "pop" sound, and there was still water underneath.
He turned around and saw that the black air was gradually approaching, still more than ten meters away.
Luo Xiao gritted his teeth, held on to the wall of the well and climbed down.
It was not too high inside, only four or five meters high. When he stepped into the water, a biting cold feeling spread throughout his body.
Although it is not surprising that the temperature of the well water is low, it is summer and it is too cold here, just like the river water in winter.
just
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
While hesitating, Meng Xiao looked up and saw that black energy had spread from the mouth of the well.
He didn't dare to think about anything anymore and jumped down quickly.
But the water in the well was not deep, it just reached his chest.
Seeing the black air gradually decreasing, Meng Xiao gritted his teeth and squatted down, curling up in the water.
The cold well water almost made Meng Xiao collapse. He closed his mouth tightly, pinched his nose, and squatted there.
Until he couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly stretched out his mouth and nose to the water, gasping for air.
Meng Xiao stood up carefully and took a look. The black air had disappeared and the outside returned to normal.
Fortunately, the walls of the well are uneven, so it is still very convenient to step on.
He emerged from the water and lay down a little. Leaning on the wall of the well and panting, he needed warmth, at least he needed to go up first.
Meng Xiao climbed up step by step. As soon as he exposed his head, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several figures not far away.
It turns out there is someone here!
He was about to shout in excitement, but suddenly opened his mouth wide, as if he had discovered something.
Those figures were very strange, each one was more than two meters tall, wearing tattered black robes, and the exposed hands turned out to be cold white bones! The same goes for your feet.
Every time they took a step, cold air came out from under their feet, and the weeds were frozen together.
Meng Xiao shook his head, closed his eyes and opened them again to look over. He was not dazzled.
What exactly is that?
people?
Obviously not!
Meng Xiao was so frightened that he could only look over there with his two eyes.
Those people in black robes didn't know what they were doing there, and they made scary noises from time to time.
Suddenly, one of the men in black robes turned his head and looked this way. Meng Xiao quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth tightly.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. He boldly poked his head out slowly and found that the figures had disappeared.
Even so, he still didn't dare to come out and continued to step on the wall of the well, observing his surroundings carefully.
After a long time, Meng Xiao slowly crawled out and lay limp on the ground, panting.
He closed his eyes and thought. Everything he experienced today was unacceptable to him. There were too many mysteries that made his brain feel like paste with no clue.
Where is this? Why have I never heard of it? Why does everything here look completely different from outside? Why is it so dark here? What were those ghostly figures just now?
Thinking of this, he slapped his head. If everything is in a dream, I hope I wake up soon.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a voice coming from the side.
Meng Xiao opened his eyes, and a horrifying face with a shriveled face was staring at him.
