Zhou Qiao returned to the cave entrance without disturbing anyone. He looked at the fire next to him and remembered what he had just experienced, and he was filled with emotion. I don’t know what will happen next, but now that I’m here, I can only let nature take its course.
One night passed, Zhou Qiao and the others packed up their things and continued their journey to find the person.
The rain last night made walking on the mountain road more and more difficult, and everyone's footsteps became heavier. From time to time, small stones rolled down from the trees and hit the ground with a muffled sound.
Zhou Qiao raised his head and looked into the distance. The sky was gray, as if covered with a thick layer of fog. The morning mountain breeze blows by, bringing with it the fragrance of earth and grass, which is refreshing.
Every time Uncle Qi walked for a while, he would carefully observe whether there were any traces of anyone walking around. Although he found nothing, he did not give up and continued to search.
But along the way, I discovered a lot of rare plants and medicinal materials, including ginseng, golden ganoderma, wild gastrodia elata, wild clematis, schisandra, wormwood, golden orchids, etc. Every time Uncle Lin looked at these, he felt like he was looking at treasures. .
The further Zhou Qiao walked, the more he felt as if something was staring at him, but when he turned around and looked around, there was nothing unusual, so he suppressed his doubts.
When passing a dead tree, Zhou Qiao smelled a strange sour smell, but it was not strong. It was almost covered by the decaying smell of the tree itself. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to smell it at all.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Qi, who had been paying attention to his surroundings, asked
"Maybe it's my illusion. I always feel that there are a pair of eyes staring at us nearby. When I look carefully, there is nothing. I wonder if you smell a sour smell?" Zhou Qiao frowned.
Uncle Qi and Yang Qian looked around and shook their heads.
Although nothing was found, several people had already increased their vigilance. After all, no one could guarantee that something unexpected would happen in this deep mountain and old forest.
It was almost noon, and the sun gradually shifted its position, tilting its light to one side of the forest.
Everyone stopped to rest and eat some dry food to replenish water. At this moment, Zhou Qiao inadvertently looked up and saw a human-like "face" that was three-thirds more resembling than an ape's, with eyes that were larger than those of an average person. Big, with saliva hanging from the corners of its mouth, it was grinning at itself, and the sour smell came from it.
Zhou Qiao was really stunned when such a thing suddenly appeared. He woke up, dropped the steamed bun in his hand, and chased after it. The thing was so fast that even a person like Zhou Qiao, who had been walking in the mountains and forests all year round, had a hard time catching up. , watching it run away;
When Yang Gan and others heard the sound, they rushed out and asked what was going on.
Zhou Qiao pointed to a big tree not far away and said: "Just now I saw a person with a 'human face' jumping down from the tree and running away. I chased after it and it was too fast to catch up."
Uncle Qi looked at the big tree pointed by Zhou Qiao, "No way, this tree is more than ten feet wide. If a person fell down, his legs would be broken. How can he still run so fast? You may be wrong." It’s an ape, right?”
"I looked carefully and it was definitely not an ape. It looked like a fifteen-year-old child, but it was taller and stronger than an ordinary child. It looked like a "savage"
Yang Gan and the others were stunned when they heard the word "savage"
Savage: Some people call him Xiaoyang, he looks like a human but not a human being. Standing on the mountain ridge, he is draped in sage vines and tied with pineapple vines, looking suspicious and smiling!
Where did this savage come from? Xiao Zhou, are you sure you read it correctly?" Uncle Qi said dubiously.
Zhou Qiao affirmed: "I'm sure I won't be wrong."
Seeing his serious expression, Uncle Qi said, "Okay, I didn't expect there to be savages in the mountains. Everyone, please be careful."
After walking for a while, Yang Gan called out, "There, the savages are there, Uncle Qi, look quickly." He pointed to the southeast. This time, both Uncle Qi and Uncle Lin saw it. Uncle Lin stayed in the mountain. It was the first time in half my life that I saw a savage looking extremely excited.
I saw the savage hanging on a big tree shaking his head and looking at the group of them with a silly smile. It was indeed a human face and body, but it was more developed, stronger and stronger. He was very tall and had broad shoulders. The arms are much thicker than humans, and the skin is black.
Zhou Qiao could tell that the savage had no intention of harming them. He felt more out of curiosity, like seeing something new.
Uncle Qi felt that for the sake of safety, it was better not to pay too much attention to the people he saw. It would be dangerous if he angered the other person.
Yang Qian originally wanted to take out his cell phone and take a photo to show off, but Zhou Qiao stopped him.
"If everyone knows that there are savages here, they will flock here. How can this forest be peaceful at that time? The savages originally belong to the mountains. How sad it would be if they were captured by people with ill intentions to study and watch. Ah, let’s keep a sense of mystery to this forest.”
Uncle Qi agreed with Zhou Qiao and said, "As long as the other party doesn't hurt us, we shouldn't destroy his peaceful living space. Let's just keep this matter in our stomachs!"
Uncle Lin and Yang Qian nodded in agreement.
Another day passed and there was still no news about Uncle "Linfeng". Yang Qian even suspected that the descendants of Grandma Hu Santai were wrong, or deliberately deceived them for the sake of money.
In the evening of this day, it was getting dark. Several people were sitting under a huge old tree to rest. There was a cold wind blowing on their backs;
"The temperature here is not normal. It's so cold, so cold..." Uncle Lin shivered all over.
"Uncle, please wait a moment. I'll get some firewood. Let's put it on the fire and it won't get cold." After the seventh uncle comforted him, he stood up and left.
After a while, Yang Gan saw that Uncle Qi hadn't come back yet and saw that Uncle Lin kept saying he was cold, so he hurried out to look for him.
After a while, Zhou Qiao felt something was wrong. The two of them had been out for a long time and didn't even see a single sign of firewood. They must have run into trouble and wanted to go out to look for it. Uncle Lin was anxious and wanted to go with him no matter what. Zhou Qiao was also worried. Uncle Lin agreed when he saw danger alone, and the two of them headed in the direction where Uncle Qi and Yang Qian left.
No trace of Uncle Qi and Yang Qian was found along the way. Zhou Qiao was anxious, and this was a wilderness. He was afraid that Uncle Qi and the others would encounter any danger, so he ran desperately, hoping to find Uncle Qi and Yang Qian as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the soles of Zhou Qiao's feet were empty and he fell into a dry well. Uncle Lin called Zhou Qiao's name outside. Zhou Qiao reminded Uncle Lin of his position. Uncle Lin called him at the mouth of the dry well to get the rope. Zhou Qiao will wait a moment.
Zhou Qiao sat in the dry well and began to look at the surrounding environment through the moonlight. He found that this place was a bit strange. It was surrounded by thick stone walls, and only the direction of the wellhead could accommodate a person to climb up.
Zhou Qiao fumbled and found a protruding rock on the lower right side of the cave entrance. He pushed hard and the rock suddenly opened like a door.
"The universe borrows dharma and talismans to suppress evil spirits and disperse them!"
The Yin Qi suddenly weakened, and when I walked in, I found that there was another world inside, a different cave. There was a coffin inside. The coffin seemed to be made of nanmu, and the coffin was engraved with a corpse-killing curse. Not only that, there were various paintings on the walls inside. There were all kinds of runes, and there were broken red lines and talismans on the ground. Zhou Qiao picked up the talisman and was shocked when he saw it. It turned out to be the Five Thunder Suppression Talisman. It seemed that a powerful corpse turned into a zombie and ran out here. , but I don’t know what level of zombie it has become. If Uncle Qi and Yang Gan encounter this zombie, they will be in danger, and they have to find someone quickly.
