Those finely divided powders were colorless and odorless. They disappeared silently into the grass and dust and disappeared in an instant.
The group of people groped in the dark and staggered as they walked. Their hearts were in turmoil and they couldn't find a stable place. The further they walked, the more uneasy they became.
Cheng Chaoyan and his group were walking in the middle, surrounded by girls in front and behind. The four of them walked with their shoulders hunched and their waists hunched over, without any sense of presence at all. The water bandits didn't even look at them.
Cheng Chaoyan walked at the front of the three people. She remembered that after getting off the boat blindfolded, she was led to the west. She remembered taking a quick look at the boat and saw that there were high mountains to the west, and there was no mountain road that could go up the mountain.
Although she couldn't see at this time, her ears were moving slightly. She was surrounded by girls who walked softly, and there was no Lianjiazi.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these water bandits felt that the mountains were their own territory. When these people walked into the mountains, they were sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. There was no chance of escaping again, and the guards were much more relaxed.
She walked forward calmly, her hands retracted in her wide sleeves, and colorless powder was also sprinkled between her fingers.
But behind where Cheng Chaoyan and his party couldn't see, there were several water bandits wearing strange shoes, walking backwards to clean up the footprints that were winding on the path. Not far away from the road, there were several similar ones. The narrow paths extend into different directions deep into the mountains.
Cheng Chaoyan walked at the front of several people. As he walked slowly, he silently remembered the direction and counted the steps. This was an essential skill for an excellent Internal Security Department hidden stake.
After walking about a thousand steps, the girls in front of and behind me were exhausted and out of breath. Many of them were walking slower and slower, being pushed and dragged forward.
At the end, many girls sat on the spot, sobbing and saying that they couldn't walk anymore.
The water bandit waved the sword in his hand, and there was a flurry of clanging sounds, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Get up, if you don't leave, I will leave you in the mountains to feed the wolves."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to the water bandit's words, several specious wolf howls sounded in the distant mountains at the right time, scaring the girls out of their wits.
The girls' legs suddenly became weak and their waists no longer hurt. They stood up from the ground in excitement and walked as fast as flying. The gentle skirts rippled into layers of waves.
After walking about a hundred steps, the rope in his hand suddenly turned in a different direction, and the faint light in front of Cheng Chaoyan's eyes suddenly disappeared. Although the black cloth that had previously covered his eyes blocked everything in front of him, there was still an extremely weak light coming through. Come in, but now, there is no light at all.
Everything in front of him turned completely into pitch black where he couldn't even reach his fingertips.
Others had obviously noticed this change, and their anxious hearts suddenly rose into their throats, and in an instant they turned into screams of panic one after another.
The sound was sharp and sharp, piercing the mountains.
Now, let alone wolves, even lions and tigers were deafened.
The water bandit also had a headache due to the noise. He dug his ears, his sword clanged loudly, and he scolded impatiently: "If you want to be left here to feed the wolves, just cry."
The frightened cries and screams were suddenly interrupted. The girls seemed to have been strangled by someone's neck, and they could not make any sound.
Cheng Chaoyan was not afraid at all, but he was cautious
Slightly uneasy, she tried to identify the direction in the darkness. The rope in her hand seemed to suddenly turn south, but she didn't know that the path they took after getting off the boat was not a straight path. The direction of time was changed, but turned to the east, and the rope turned again and turned to the north end.
This direction is completely opposite to what Cheng Chaoyan expected.
There was a heavy silence all around, and the group of people staggered around in the mountains.
Xie Mengxia leaned closely against Leng Linjiang.
Not seeing things and walking in the dark are two completely different situations. Xie Mengxia is not afraid of not being able to see his surroundings, but he is afraid of the dark, extremely afraid.
In the darkness, although his eyes could not see anything, his hearing was infinitely amplified. He heard the sound of dripping water, like blood dripping from his body to the ground. The more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the corners of his skirt trembled. It's almost tied into a knot.
Leng Linjiang felt that Xie Mengxia's whole body was shaking violently. He knew about Xie Mengxia's serious illness, but the surroundings were extremely quiet. If he opened his mouth to comfort Xie Mengxia, he would definitely disturb the others, which would seem particularly inappropriate.
He thought for a moment, then grabbed Xie Mengxia's cold hand from behind and sighed in his heart. Such an honest Xie Mengxia did look pitiful.
The group of people walked slowly in the darkness. I wonder if these water bandits were already familiar with this road. They could not see their fingers without lighting a lamp.
Cheng Chaoyan walked forward slowly and cautiously, the corners of his lips tightened.
She was wearing a pair of soft, thin-soled embroidered shoes, and she felt very keenly every step she took.
As soon as Fang walked into the darkness, she noticed that this place was quite different from the one she had walked before.
The ground here seemed to have been trimmed by someone, but as if it was afraid of being too deliberate and attracting attention, they just cleaned up the larger rocks hastily, and the sparse gravel left behind was very small. It hurts your feet so much.
The cool wind blew past the ears, blowing through the broken hair on the temples, making Cheng Chaoyan's cheeks itch slightly.
In the darkness, the mountain wind was much stronger than before, and it was also much colder and damper.
Cheng Chaoyan's ears moved slightly. The deeper he walked into the darkness, the sound of the wind whistling in his ears became more like thunder.
She thought that they should be walking in a long and damp cave.
The real situation is not much different from what Cheng Chaoyan imagined.
This is indeed a deep and dark cave. The entrance of the cave is hidden in an inconspicuous mountain col, surrounded by dense thorns.
After everyone entered the cave, dozens of water bandits struggled to move a huge boulder and blocked the entrance of the cave tightly, not even a trace of sunlight leaking into the cave.
As a result, the path was cut off in the middle by a towering stone wall, with only the words "This road is blocked" written on it.
Ranwen
The cave is located in a shady place, with no sunlight all year round. It is extremely cold inside. The surrounding stone walls are full of traces of artificial excavation. The gaps are filled with deep and shallow green moss, which is connected with the mold spots. Clear water drops appear from above. Sliding past, it became muddy.
It was cold and cold in the cave. The girls were all wearing light spring clothes. The colder they walked, the colder they got. Some couldn't bear the cold, so they crossed their arms tightly and shivered as they walked.
Cheng Chaoyan was a martial arts practitioner, so she thought it was bearable. She heard Xie Mengxia's constant shouting behind her.
Reading, her upper and lower teeth were clenching in the cold, it was obvious that she was about to faint from the cold, she couldn't help but shed tears for him secretly in her heart.
She counted the steps silently, and after walking another thousand or so steps, the number of steps was almost the same as before entering the cave. She noticed that the wind blowing against her face was mixed with the crisp breath of vegetation. She knew that they were about to reach the end of the mountain. Out of this dark cave.
Sure enough, after walking for dozens more steps, there was gradually a little light in the darkness, and then the light gradually became stronger, and the feeling of cramped and oppressive was gone.
Cheng Chaoyan took a deep breath, and before he could speak, Xie Mengxia's voice sounded like a newborn from behind.
"Oh, I'm going, I'm out now. I can't even breathe." He sighed in a low voice and was still trembling a little. It was obvious that he was frightened and cold. There was no guarantee that he would become seriously ill after this incident. .
Someone seemed to have stopped at the front, and the girls were standing close to each other.
Leng Linjiang pressed closely against Xie Mengxia, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I think we were in the cave just now."
Cheng Chaoyan responded in a low voice, and the bright skylight passed through the black cloth and fell into his eyes.
She raised her head and mentally estimated the time it took to get off the boat and the time it took to walk all the way. She also identified the direction with the brightest sunlight. She frowned slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in her heart. This direction seemed to be what she expected. Not quite the same.
Behind her, unknown to her, dozens of water bandits followed the same pattern and blocked the entrance of the cave with huge rocks.
As a result, the only road leading here was completely blocked.
What she couldn't even imagine was that the place they were standing at this moment was on the edge of a cliff. A few steps further, there was a bottomless cliff.
Opposite the cliff is another mountain with many mountains. But from a distance, the mountains are lush with vegetation, green and full of spring, which is completely different from the bare mountains here.
The cliff between the two mountains is bottomless and only a dozen feet wide. This width is not very scary, but this width is not something that ordinary people can jump over with bare hands.
The wind blew by the cliff. Cheng Chaoyan stood in the wind for a moment and noticed the huge change in the environment.
She felt a chill in her heart, and the colorless powder on her hand flew away in the wind.
The wind was so strong that it was almost impossible to stand. Han Changyun was swaying in the wind, his body tilted, and he was about to fall face down to the ground. He was so anxious that he didn't care who was standing in front of him, whoever it was. He couldn't see him either, so he grabbed the hem of Leng Linjiang's skirt and almost pulled it off before he could stand still.
Leng Linjiang was so angry that he was about to jump up and yell, when suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew over, chilling him to the core. His anger also subsided, and he whispered: "If you don't get up, you plan to rip my skirt open and expose it." ?"
Han Changyun quickly got up, clapped his hands, looked at the faint light outside the black cloth, and laughed twice.
After a while, when the girls were getting impatient, someone suddenly whistled three times, one long and two short. The whistle was like the cry of an oriole, clearer and more beautiful.
On the mountain opposite the cliff, there were suddenly a few shaking figures, and then there were several bright lights flashing back and forth in the mountain.
Seeing this, the water bandits on the cliff side also quickly raised three small silver flags and waved them back and forth a few times.
