Song Jiang felt the big man's embarrassment, so he thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to answer us so quickly. It's up to you to decide whether to get out or not. Just think about it before we leave here."
The big man was a little touched after hearing Song Jiang's words, but he didn't know how to express his feelings, so he knelt down to him again. Song Jiang was so frightened that he quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no... you don't even know you are older than me." At what age, if you keep knocking me, your life will be shortened."
Meng Zhe watched the big man being pulled up from the ground by Song Jiang, and suddenly thought of something, so he said doubtfully, "If the city lord has to devour souls to replenish herself every day, how many people will she have killed in the past thousands of years?" ah?"
Song Jiang also felt that it was a bit unreasonable. There must be a lot of missing people in this area, but in recent years, it seems that only occasionally happens that no one is alive and no dead body is seen. If such a thing really happened Due to the large-scale disappearance of people, this place has probably been banned by the local government for a long time.
The big guy on the side understood what the two of them meant, but the problem seemed a bit complicated. He didn't know how to express himself for a while, so he went to the yard and folded a few branches back, placing them side by side from longest to shortest. Okay, then point to these branches and gesture to Song and Jiang...
Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were a little dumbfounded when they saw it, thinking to themselves, who knows what big guy means? However, we can see that there is a certain pattern in the arrangement from long to short, so Song Jiang asked tentatively, "Is this the number of souls that the city lord has devoured from large to small?"
After hearing this, the big man shook his head and said no, and then made a motion for them to sleep and get up. Song Jiang thought about it and suddenly realized, "You said it's time? It's the time between each time she swallows the soul." short?!"
The big man nodded vigorously upon hearing this, indicating that Song Jiang was right this time.
Upon seeing this, Song Jiang immediately looked at Meng Zhe and said, "So it means that the city lord's own spiritual power is slowly declining... so the number of times she devours living souls is becoming more and more frequent."
Meng Zhe nodded after hearing this and said, "As ghosts, they have indeed existed for too long. The cycle of heaven comes over and over again. The cycle is the eternal law of nature. After death, the soul becomes a soul, and the soul reincarnates and re-enters the cycle of life and death. , spinning like a wheel, never ending... But once you break this law and act randomly, you will naturally be punished. Whether it is the fate of the Tengu swallowing the sun or the exhaustion of spiritual power, it is just a law of nature. With that city lord Her cultivation is still unable to escape reincarnation, so it’s a miracle that she can persist for such a long time. Besides, even a true god is still in decline, let alone a group of ghosts?”
After hearing this, Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "But what if she keeps improving her spiritual power by devouring living souls? I heard that some ghosts can become ghost immortals!"
Meng Zhe snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "She doesn't have this kind of virtue. Ghosts who practice by devouring souls will never become immortals. If ghosts want to become immortals, they must have great virtues to achieve greatness. Evil demons Heretics are destined to have no chance with the Immortal Way..."
Just when Song and Jiang were discussing what to do next at Big Guy's home, they heard mixed sounds coming from outside the house again. After hearing this, Song Jiang raised his hand and glanced at the time and said, "It seems it's dark outside... These ghosts start a new day of life like living people."
But as the noise outside became more and more noisy, Song Jiang gradually had a bad feeling in his heart. Not only did they steal two corpses from the ice cellar this time, they also took away an unidentified big man. When the Tengu swallowed the sun, the city lord discovered their existence. If Song Jiang had been the city lord, he would have already started to capture people from the whole city by now.
===========
When Shao Jun and the others drove to the Tutai camp, they only saw Zhou Shiwu's car and two tents, but no one was there. They tried to call the satellite phone left for Zhou Shiwu, but found several people there. People don’t even carry their phones with them, but leave them in the car all the time…
Shao Jun looked at the supplies in the car and the situation in the camp, thought for a while and said, "Since the satellite phone was thrown in the car, it proves that they will not go far... It should be nearby, Deng Kai, you will take care of it in the camp Gu Hao, let’s go look inside the earth platform first.”
Although Deng Kai didn't want to stay alone in the camp, he then thought about what he was afraid of in broad daylight. So he nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry! Then you guys should be careful..."
He originally thought that Shao Jun and the others would not be gone for long, but as a result, they did not come back until dark. Deng Kai, who was guarding the camp alone, felt nothing at first. After all, it was broad daylight, but as the sky turned dark, As it gradually darkened, Deng Kai began to feel more and more panicked...
The temperature in the desert is the most realistic. As the sun sets, the heat of the day gradually turns into a biting coldness. Some creatures that like to hide in the shadows will come out to look for food now, and experienced people will At this time, a bonfire is usually lit. Firstly, it can be used for heating and cooking, and secondly, it can be used to drive away those terrible things that breed in the darkness.
It's a pity that Deng Kai didn't know how to light a fire. At the same time, he felt that it was safer to stay in the tent than in the car, so he had to get into Zhou Shiwu's car with the unconscious Gu Hao, turn on the heater and wait. As Shao Jun and the others came back... At this time, Deng Kai did not realize that the danger was approaching him step by step.
At first, Deng Kai felt a little bored, so he connected the car audio with his mobile phone's Bluetooth and played the music he had downloaded in advance. Then, while eating dried meat, he complained to Gu Hao, who was sleeping in the back seat, "Didn't you say that before? Can you wake up after dark? Look at what time it is now? It's American time when it gets dark right now!"
Naturally, Gu Hao couldn't respond to him at this time, but Deng Kai didn't care. He was humming to the music and eating the dried meat in his hand. At the same time, he was still calculating in his mind whether Song Jiang and the others would come back first or last. Shao Jun and others who went in will come back first...
Unexpectedly, just when Deng Kai was leisurely tearing open a pack of dried apricots and preparing to have an appetizer, he suddenly saw a figure in front of the car from the corner of his eye. When I arrived at the location, I found that there was nothing there. Where was the figure? !
Having seen a lot of evil things, Deng Kai naturally couldn't be so careless every time. To be cautious, he quickly turned off the music, and then looked around the car warily. After making sure that there was no one else in the camp, he returned. He reached out and turned off the car lights. Unexpectedly, as the lights went out, the figure appeared again!
This time Deng Kai was completely panicked and hurriedly turned on the headlights, but there was still nothing. So he gritted his teeth and turned off the car lights again... Unexpectedly, the next second the glass on his left side was blocked by someone. The vigorous slapping immediately frightened Deng Kai so much that his scalp tightened and the hair on his body stood up!
Unexpectedly, he turned around and found that the person standing outside was actually Song Jiang. Deng Kai suddenly said angrily, "I'll go! Song Jiang? Is there something wrong with you? You don't want to scare people like this!"
Song Jiang smiled apologetically outside, and then motioned to Deng Kai to open the car door first. Seeing that it was Song Jiang, Deng Kai didn't think much, opened the car door and walked out, "Why are you alone? Meng Zhe and Fifth Brother? Where have they gone?"
Song Jiang said with a smile, "They are inside. We found a better camping location. I came out to take you there to have a look..."
Deng Kai was surprised after hearing this, "Is it so complicated to set up a camp? This place is pretty good. Isn't it tiring to move the tent back and forth and have to move things around?"
Normally, Song Jiang would have scolded him for being lazy, and would have teased Deng Kai a few words, but today he smiled uncharacteristically, "Let's go, come with me and take a look."
When Deng Kai heard this, he glanced at Gu Hao in the car with some worry and said, "Gu Hao hasn't woken up yet. Is it okay to leave him here alone?"
Song Jiang waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll be back soon."
Although Deng Kai felt that Song Jiang in front of him was a little strange, he didn't think elsewhere and followed him towards the direction of Tutai...
