Ma Tian felt a little uncomfortable. In the flash of lightning just now, he looked at those snake eyes and felt a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Yang Cheng disagreed, "What's so strange about this? It's normal to have a few snakes in the deep mountains and old forests. They're not pythons or anything like that. Why are you making such a fuss?"
No one in the crowd paid much attention to the encounter with the snake. Only Hu Xiaocao, who was next to him, had his dim eyes shine again.
It’s Grandpa Mountain God!
Grandpa Mountain God really heard her call and came to save her!
Seeing that they had almost rested, everyone was ready to set off again. They did not plan to stay here for a long time.
Yang Cheng threatened fiercely: "If you dare to make a sound, my legs will be broken, your tongue will be cut off, and you will be thrown into the street as a beggar."
They brought less drugs on this trip, so they would save as much as they could.
I don't know if his threats had an effect. Hu Xiaocao really calmed down and didn't shout at the top of his lungs.
It's also possible that he was tired and resigned to his fate.
Seeing that Hu Xiaocao was so understanding, Yang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "That's not bad. Cooperate with us and you will suffer less. Otherwise, you will be the unlucky one in the end."
The four of them walked together on the mountain road, plus Hu Xiaocao, and tied her up with a rope, like leading an animal.
Now that the effects of the drug were gone, Hu Xiaocao was able to walk on his own, which saved them some effort.
As the sun sets in the west, the crescent moon above the head seems to become brighter. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth, and the lush mountain forests are also covered with a layer of pale golden light.
Half of the entire mountain is shrouded in darkness, and the other half is still struggling in the light. Light and darkness are intertwined, but it is only a matter of time before the night begins.
I don't know when a faint layer of mist started to appear, filling the mountains. It was not obvious, so Yang Cheng and the others didn't notice anything.
Until the mist shallowly covered their feet, it had reached the point where it was visible to the naked eye.
Yang Cheng frowned and looked at the seemingly non-existent white fog around him, feeling a little strange, "Why is there fog for no reason? We have to speed up."
The mountain road is already difficult to travel. If the fog gets thicker, I'm afraid they won't be able to see. Then it will be difficult. They didn't bring any equipment, and they didn't want to spend the night in the mountains.
Ma Tian immediately pushed Hu Xiaocao, "You haven't eaten yet, so you're walking so slowly! Walk faster, or I'll whip you."
Hu Xiaocao didn't have any precautions and stumbled to the ground. His hands and feet were scratched, and bright red blood dripped out.
She bit her lip, holding back the pain and not letting herself cry. Hu Xiaocao got up in embarrassment.
"Xiaocao is the strongest. Xiaocao doesn't cry, and Grandpa Mountain God is right next to him. He will come to save Xiaocao soon..."
Hearing this, a nameless evil fire emerged in Ma Tian's heart. For some reason, a pair of cold snake eyes appeared in his mind, and he spat next to him.
"Fuck that bullshit mountain god. Do you want to say that the white mist was caused by the mountain god?"
"I'm telling you! Uncles don't believe this, don't think this can scare us!"
Ma Tian even deliberately pulled the rope in his hand. If Hu Xiaocao hadn't been on guard this time, he might have fallen hard again.
At this time, most of the setting sun in the sky has sunk down, and the light falling into the mountains and forests has become even weaker.
Thick ink-like colors began to smear across the sky, eroding the remaining light, and the crescent of the moon seemed to become more eye-catching.
White mist filled the air, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil, which looked a little blurry. Yang Cheng and Ma Tian were a little anxious and walked quickly through the forest.
However, the more you are afraid of something, the more it will come.
But for a moment, the white fog became thicker, and all the surrounding scenery was swallowed up, making it impossible to see the distant scenes clearly.
The shadow of the tree was shrouded in white mist, leaving only a rough outline. From a distance, it looked like a black giant, looking at them eagerly.
Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of white. You can't see clearly unless you get closer, which makes people even more confused.
In addition, they have not yet gone out.
Yang Cheng's heart gradually sank to the bottom, "Judging from this situation, we are probably not lost."
Although they have been there before, they are new here, and the white fog affects their vision, so they will inevitably get lost in it.
The others were stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "What should we do now? We don't really want to spend the night here."
"You can't stay overnight, it's too dangerous."
Yang Cheng took out a flashlight. This powerful flashlight could originally shine far away, but because of the thick fog, it could only emit a weak light.
The light of the flashlight slightly dispelled everyone's inner panic.
At this time, the sky has completely plunged into darkness. As the last trace of light is swallowed up by the darkness, the night spreads its black wings and officially makes its debut.
Looking at the darkening sky around him, Yang Cheng looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon, which barely gave him some peace of mind.
If the weather is cloudy, it may make them feel even worse.
I don't know if it's his imagination, but I always feel that the moon tonight is brighter than usual.
Hu Xiaocao also looked at the moon above his head, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, and it seemed that he could even ignore the pain from his previous fall.
"When I first saw Grandpa Mountain God, the moon seemed to be like this."
Hearing her murmuring words, Ma Tian felt even more uncomfortable. After a closer look, he could see that there was still some unnoticeable panic. He rolled up his sleeves and walked over fiercely.
"I bet you turned a deaf ear to what I just said, right? It's really frustrating to talk nonsense."
Just as his fist as big as a casserole was about to fall, he was stopped by Liu Siming, the thin man in the team.
"She's just an ignorant yellow-haired girl. Why are you angry with her? If you have this free time, why not carefully find a way out and knock someone unconscious? We will still have to carry her on our backs."
There is some truth in what he said. Ma Tian put down his fist and said angrily: "Damn girl, please be careful, otherwise when I leave this forest, see how I deal with you!"
Yang Cheng next to him waved towards them, "Come here."
He looked at the compass in his hand and checked it carefully, "We should be able to reach the foot of the mountain by walking in the southeast direction."
He put the compass in his pocket.
No one noticed that the hands that had been stationary began to vibrate crazily, as if they were disturbed by some inexplicable magnetic field.
In the end, I couldn't bear the force anymore and stopped in one place completely motionless.
Yang Cheng and Ma Tian knew nothing about this and slowly walked into the depths of the mist.
The vast white mist was like a giant beast coming from the void, its mouth wide open, waiting for them to step into it, and then slowly swallowed up Ma Tian and his party.
