Ba Qing looked slightly excited. He raised his hand to let me see our results.
I took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "We can't rest now. How far are we from that group of people?"
Ba Qing's pupils tightened and he said: "It originally took two or three hours. Although we were traveling quickly, it took time to catch these mountain monkeys. It is estimated that it is still a two-hour journey."
I nodded and said: "Let's set off now to chase them! We must catch up in the shortest possible time!"
"This..." Ba Qing was a little surprised, but he and I looked at each other a few more times, and nodded immediately without saying a word.
Ba Qing's short horse already carried the mummy in the hanging coffin, so I directly took the tied mountain monkeys, tied them to the horse's back, and hung them on both sides.
Ba Qing obviously has a good hand in tying mountain monkeys. Most of them are tied with five flowers. Not only the mouths are strangled, but the hands and feet are also tied tightly, as if hanging a few rice dumplings. There is no need to worry at all.
However, the pony had been traveling for a long time and did not have enough time to rest this time. It became a little agitated and was tapping its hooves.
Ba Qing approached the horse's head and stroked its mane, as if whispering.
After being comforted for a while, the two ponies finally showed no restlessness.
We hit the road again, and our speed was obviously much faster this time. Ba Qing also told me that we should be able to catch up, and they definitely didn't leave and would stay at the place in front of us, at least for one night.
I was confused for a moment and asked Ba Qing what he meant?
Ba Qingcai said that this section of the mountain road is the last section where you can ride a pony, and it is also the flattest.
We were delayed because we were catching mountain monkeys, otherwise we should have been able to get to that place.
After we got there, we had to walk all day long on the steep slopes.
It suddenly dawned on me that this was something Ba Qing had told me before setting off.
Soon, it became completely dark.
Ba Qing took out a strong flashlight from his hiking bag and prepared it for emergencies.
Fortunately, the night is clear today and the moon has enough light, so we can barely walk on the mountain road.
Our speed was obviously much slower than Ba Qing expected. It had been about two hours and we still hadn't reached the place yet.
There was a constant feeling of being stared at from behind, and the ponies became more and more irritable. They kept snoring as they walked. I don't know whether it was because they were too tired from walking, they couldn't stand it anymore, or they were following behind. thing……
Ba Qing's forehead was also sweating, and he was obviously a little anxious.
After walking for about half an hour, Ba Qing finally looked better. He looked back and I knew that Ba Qing was looking to see if the mountain monkey led by the white-haired ghost was following.
I know that there is Yang Qingshan, so I am not afraid, but for Ba Qing, he is naturally frightened when the two of us are walking on the mountain road.
"Mr. Luo, it's not far ahead. I can almost see the fire." Ba Qing's tone became a little calmer, but he soon became cautious again.
I squinted my eyes slightly and looked at the front of the mountain road. I could vaguely see the light of fire...
I nodded slightly, squinted my eyes slightly, and made a shushing gesture.
Ba Qing pursed his lips and hummed softly. It was obvious that his main focus was on me.
We keep going.
After about a few minutes, they arrived at the location where the fire came from.
This is still a mountainside, and this mountain belongs to the Longlong Mountain with overlapping hills. It just happens that this mountainside location is still in the dark place of Longlong Mountain...
Two tents were pitched on the edge of a stone wall on the mountainside. An iron pot was hung on the burning bonfire, which was also boiling.
There are no tree houses here, so this group of people should have brought this tent.
Ba Qing looked slightly uneasy, and I became highly vigilant.
There is no one here!
Except for the tent and the campfire, no one was there!
There is definitely no way this place is really empty. I have already guessed the reason.
"Ba Qing, come here." I lowered my voice slightly and called Ba Qing.
He quickly came to my side.
At this moment, another dazzling light suddenly came from the dense forest next to it!
This sudden light was so bright that it blinded people instantly!
Ba Qing snorted, and I quickly covered my eyes!
Then came the sound of rapid footsteps!
The sound came extremely quickly! It was by our side almost instantly.
"Don't move!" A voice sounded cold and threatening.
At the same time, something cold pressed on my forehead...
My scalp suddenly became numb, my heart suffocated, and a strong sense of oppression came over me.
The bright light was gone. Even with my eyes closed, I felt like the light could penetrate my eyelids.
After returning to darkness now, it felt too dark.
"Ba Qing?" The voice was hoarse and harsh, obviously filled with surprise and uncertainty.
