The deeper we walked into the dense forest, the more eerie it became, but the miasma just now seemed to have suddenly disappeared, giving people a moment of respite.
But Yu Huo became more and more cautious. After all, there were too many unknowns in the depths of the dense forest. The road ahead was dangerous and dangerous. It was not a bad thing to be careful.
Liu Wusheng walked in front, looking back from time to time, deliberately finding some topics to pass the time in this thrilling jungle adventure.
"I said, if you hadn't sacrificed the Ming Lantern for that girl, what would have happened?"
Liu Wusheng suddenly asked such an inappropriate question, which actually accused Yu Huo. Regarding this issue, Yu Huo had never thought about it. What would happen if he was selfish and didn't sacrifice for the beauty? What kind of life.
But there are no assumptions in life. No matter whether the original choice was right or wrong, now that the choice has been made, there is no so-called regret medicine. Even if there is, there is no medicine to save it, because it is a sacrifice, not a sacrifice. .
Of course, Yu Huo knew what it meant to sacrifice his body. It meant that without a flesh and blood body, he would face the days when his soul was wandering and he was like a walking corpse.
However, Yu Huo made a choice without hesitation, sacrificed to the spirit woman, handed over his body, and became a "ghost", never to be able to stand up again.
"Life is impermanent. We only care about what we once had, and we should cherish the present. Why care about gains and losses."
Yu Huo's philosophical words directly dismissed Liu Wusheng's unreasonable fuss, which forced him to change the subject and said: "By the way, the skin you are wearing now is not yours. No body means no body of flesh and blood. , maybe this is why you can't activate the ring in your hand."
Just as Liu Wusheng said, Yu Huo's skin is just a fake at the moment. If the Blood-Drinking Mingjie wants to restore its spirituality, it naturally needs the owner to feed it with blood every day to nourish its root spirit. The reason why the Blood-Drinking Mingjie is It's called the Blood-Drinking Underworld Ring, and this is its subtlety.
Liu Wusheng revealed the secret with his words, but Yu Huo didn't take it seriously and said lightly: "Why don't I give it to you? You are now Brother Sen, resurrected with full blood. How about letting him drink enough in one go?"
Yu Huo knew clearly that Liu Wusheng didn't have this ability, but he deliberately said teasingly. This made Liu Wusheng moved by it, but he didn't dare to touch it, because this blood-drinking ring was not an ordinary thing, and it was not something that ordinary people could control. He shook his head and refused, saying: "I don't want this evil thing. If my brother Sen's hard-earned skin is broken, wouldn't it be like a chicken and an egg, and the gain is not worth the loss?"
Calculating carefully, Liu Wusheng is a businessman after all. It is understandable and natural for a businessman to pursue profits. But now, he has been calculating this trip from beginning to end, whether he can make a huge profit and achieve true financial freedom.
He is well aware of the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, but in his calculations, he also included himself in the calculation. This trip is extremely dangerous. In the depths of the jungle, life and death are uncertain. Whether he can return alive is unknown. He has such a big heart.
Just as the two were bargaining and chatting happily, Liu Wusheng's feet were empty and he felt something bad. He suddenly fell into a huge pit.
Soon enough, Yu Huo grabbed Liu Wushen's hair with lightning speed, causing Liu Wusheng to scream in pain, and tears of pain filled his face.
In pain, Liu Wusheng gritted his teeth and tried to lower his head to look down. He saw that he was hanging in the sky above the huge pit, and the distance less than twenty centimeters below his feet was covered with inverted bayonets.
These sharp blades made of bamboo slices are extremely sharp and are more than one meter high. If they fall down in the afternoon and poke a few heart-breaking holes, it will be explained here.
Looking at the design and layout of the huge pit, it was obvious that it was a trap set by poachers to catch prey, but Liu Wusheng didn't want to be hit by it. He felt aggrieved in his heart. If Yu Huo hadn't grabbed his hair, it would have been so painful. I couldn't scream, I really wanted to roar, ten thousand grass mud horses.
But Liu Wusheng couldn't hold on anymore. He rolled his eyes and tried hard to say something, but couldn't say a word. It was like someone had locked his throat, and he completely lost his voice.
Yu Huo knew that with the current situation, Liu Wusheng would definitely not be able to hold on for long. If he didn't let go, he would be suffocated to death. But once he let go, those sharp bamboo pieces would inevitably poke a hornet's nest on the spot.
It was really a dilemma at the moment. Yu Huo gritted his teeth and said while pulling Liu Wusheng's hair up, cursing and saying: "How can I pull you up when I ask you to eat so much like a pig and be so heavy?"
"Stop it...nonsense...hurry...pull me up quickly."
Seeing that Yu Huo seemed to be teasing him, Liu Wusheng angrily choked out a few words from his chest. Yu Huo couldn't help but laugh, and almost let go, gritting his teeth and dragging him up fiercely.
There was a false alarm just now, so scared that Liu Wusheng almost peed his pants. He lay on the ground with his scalp numb. He wiped it with his hand and found that his hands were full of blood and torn hair. He screamed and said: "It's over. I've been beaten by you." If you pull it like this, this handsome man will become bald."
"According to you, is it because I used too much force just now? If I had released it gently just now, I guarantee that not a single hair of yours would fall out, but the result would not be baldness, but a click."
Bitch is a hypocrite. Seeing Yu Huo's teasing, Liu Wusheng shivered and did not dare to talk nonsense. He smiled and said, "Just now... thank you for saving me again."
"Stop being so hypocritical. I won't save you once or twice. If you are lucky enough to get out alive, treat me to a meal, preferably from the rice noodle shops all over the country."
After Yu Huo finished speaking, he stood up and threw a piece of gauze to Liu Wusheng. After saying that, he walked ahead and continued walking deeper into the dense forest.
It is said that the vast plains are easily accessible for dozens or hundreds of kilometers, but deep in the dense forest, where no one can be seen when looking up, if you want to cross this dead land and find the Gate of Immortality, you will have to survive a narrow escape to reach it.
"I asked, if we keep walking in, can we find an exit? If this area is an endless primeval forest, you and I will have to explain here sooner or later."
Liu Wusheng experienced the pain of having his hair ripped out, and once again retreated, but was mercilessly ignored by Yu Huo. He had to endure the severe pain and follow Yu Huo's buttocks.
The remaining fire continued to penetrate deeper, not to show any bravery, but to make some scientific judgments about the way forward. The huge hunting hole just now was obviously made deliberately by someone. Whether this person was targeting prey or poachers, at least it showed how many people were in this area. Someone has been here near the primeval forest.
Since someone has set foot in this place and is able to lay such a one-shot trap in such a harsh environment, and the precise design of the trap is a must-pass, it shows that this person is familiar with this place and knows the terrain and structure here well.
Finding this person was like a tiger's wings to help them cross this dead land, like a divine aid.
But this person comes and goes without a trace, and the dragon never sees its tail. It is not easy to know his whereabouts.
Just when Yu Huo was at his wits end, he suddenly found a thatched house that had been abandoned for a long time in front of the trap.
The thatch on the roof of the house has been washed away by wind and rain, and has no longer the function of protecting it from wind and rain, but it still stands tenaciously in the wilderness of this dense forest.
When Liu Wusheng saw a place to rest, he strode forward with a look of surprise, completely forgetting the pain of tearing his scalp, and muttered something: "We have been walking for a day and a night, and it is getting late. We will rest here tonight." Rest your feet and let’s go again tomorrow morning.”
Although Yu Huo knew that there was a gloomy atmosphere surrounding this thatched house, the dense forest blocked out the sun and was airtight. The mountain roads were rugged and there were many traps. It was barely possible to walk during the day, let alone at night, so he acquiesced to Liu Wusheng's proposal. .
Liu Wusheng didn't wait for Yu Huo's consent, then pushed open the courtyard door made of bamboo slices and walked into the thatched house regardless of life or death.
Dissatisfied, Yu Huo followed in and found that although the thatched cottage was small, it was fully functional.
There are some daily necessities inside. The key is to have a well-kept stove. If there is rice and vegetables, you can make a fire to cook and have a full meal.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wusheng had an idea and said excitedly: "You said that there are a lot of game in this deep mountain and old forest. If you can catch a few pheasants and rabbits, they can be roasted and eaten. Thinking about the fragrant scene, it will make people happy. revel……"
"You haven't woken up, right? The huge pit just now almost killed you. Do you think that kind of trap is used to deal with pheasants and rabbits?"
Liu Wusheng was frightened when he mentioned the thrilling scene just now. After regaining his sense, he knew that those traps were obviously not for a few pheasants and rabbits, so what could be in the deep mountains?
Thinking of this, Liu Wusheng unconsciously closed the courtyard door quickly, took out some talismans, and pasted them at the entrance and exit of the thatched house, hoping to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
Seeing Liu Wusheng's childish behavior, Yu Huo shook his head, lit a cigarette for himself, and said, "Do you think that if there are big goods here, these talismans of yours can stop them? "
"Isn't this just for peace of mind?"
"You call this feudal superstition. Go, I think that wok has some uses. It can be used to boil some boiling water and eat it with some dry food."
Yu Huo took out some dry food, and Liu Wusheng followed Yu Huo's instructions and took the wok to get water from the stream next to him. Yu Huo took off the half-burned cigarette in his hand and checked around. , and found that there seemed to be different footprints in the courtyard.
Those were not human footprints, but looked as if they had been stepped on by a cat. But where did the cat come from in this barren mountain?
Moreover, although a cat is an animal that walks on four legs, it can only leave two footprints, but there are four footprints here. This made Yu Huo realize something and felt somewhat uneasy.
It was difficult to identify through the footprints. Yu Huo could only think of one possibility, and that was Huang Pizi. Could this thatched house be the territory of Wong Tai Sin?
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yu Huo felt a chill in his heart. He turned around suddenly, only to find that there was nothing behind him.
Yu Huo was uneasy and wanted to leave this place, but he had no better choice. He could only wait and see if he could get through the night safely and smoothly.
