Following the guidance of the old farmer, Zhang Fan and the others moved forward along this mountain path.
This mountain path is winding and rugged, with potholes and rocks everywhere, making walking very strenuous.
Dense vegetation grows on both sides of the path. The deeper you go, the taller the vegetation becomes. At the end, the height of the vegetation has blocked the view of Zhang Fan and the others.
"This road is getting harder and harder. Could the old man be lying to us?!"
Li Mu casually broke a branch in front of his eyes, raised his brows, and asked.
"Probably not. The old man doesn't look like he's lying!"
Su Qian pondered for a while, shook her head and said.
"We've come this far, it's too late to regret it, just take it one step at a time!"
Zhang Fan pulled off an extending vine, threw it aside, and said helplessly.
After hearing Zhang Fan's words, Li Mu and Su Qian looked at each other and fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Fan and the others finally walked out of the difficult mountain path and arrived at an empty valley.
In this valley, the sun is shining brightly, the grass is green, the trees are lush, and endless flowers and weeds are blooming in every corner of the mountains and plains.
The air in the valley is fresh and pleasant, making people feel refreshed and comfortable just by taking a breath.
"Wow~!"
“The air here smells so good!”
Li Mu took a deep breath of air and felt that his whole body was soft and soft, as if all the cells in his body were stretched out, giving him a wonderful feeling that could not be described in words.
"It seems that the old man did not lie to us!"
Su Qian also took a breath of air, relaxing her physical and mental fatigue and tension, and couldn't help but smile.
Regarding Li Mu and Su Qian's relaxed mood, although Zhang Fan also enjoyed the warm and comfortable feeling here, he always felt something inexplicable in his heart.
This strangeness was very subtle and lingered in Zhang Fan's heart for a long time.
Zhang Fan couldn't explain why he felt this way. Maybe it was because his nerves were automatically tense when he came to the maze scene.
After all, the Hell Maze is a very scary place, not as safe as the human world.
Here, if there is any accident, a little carelessness will lead to death.
"Look there! There seems to be someone there!"
Suddenly, Li Mu screamed and pointed to a high slope in the valley.
There at this moment, a person whose appearance could not be seen clearly stood there motionless, facing forward, with his arms stretched out, leaving only his back to them.
"What?!"
Su Qian was stunned, her expression changed, and she hurriedly followed Li Mu's finger and looked over.
"There is really someone!"
Sure enough, when Su Qian looked, she also saw the person Li Mu mentioned.
"Could it be another survivor?" Li Mu asked doubtfully.
"It's impossible. We are the first ones to come here. The other survivors should be behind us, so they are definitely not survivors!"
When Li Mugang expressed his guess, Su Qian interrupted him directly.
"How about? Let's go over and have a look? Maybe they are the villagers of Happy Town. I don't know for sure. If they are really people from Happy Town, we can also get some information from them, so that we can complete this shocking scene for us. More advantageous!”
"Even... I can complete the task ahead of schedule!" Li Mu said excitedly, a little eager to try.
"What you said makes sense!"
When Su Qian heard this, she was also a little moved.
"Brother, what do you think?"
Li Mu did not rush forward, but looked at Zhang Fan again.
Because of the last nightmare-level horrific encounter, in Li Mu's heart, he had long regarded Zhang Fan as his backbone.
"Wait a minute and observe the situation first!"
Somehow, after Zhang Fan saw the person Li Mu was talking about, the strangeness in his heart became more intense, as if something terrifying was approaching.
So he rejected Li Mu's suggestion without even thinking about it.
"Okay! I listen to you!"
Li Mu calmed down when he heard Zhang Fan speak like this.
Su Qian on the side also suppressed the wavering in her heart and waited in place, not daring to make any further moves.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Fan and the others crouched under the vegetation, with only a pair of eyes exposed to observe the man on the hillside in the distance.
"Sure enough, it's a little weird. It's been so long, and that person is still standing there motionless!"
Li Mu rubbed his astringent eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and whispered.
"Look there!"
At this moment, Su Qian suddenly exclaimed, but the next second, she covered her mouth with force.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Fan asked doubtfully.
"There are people there too!"
Su Qian whispered, then pointed to an open space far to their left and reminded.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan and Li Mu felt their hearts pounding and looked over hurriedly.
Sure enough, there was a person standing where Su Qian pointed.
The man's appearance was also unclear. He stood there stiffly with his arms stretched out, motionless, and looked extremely strange and terrifying.
“It’s available here too!”
"It's there too!"
"Damn it, I didn't even notice it just now, why are there so many?"
Li Mu stood up carefully and looked around. The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and his face was filled with disbelief.
At this moment, in Li Mu's field of vision, at every position in the distance, a man with arms outstretched and whose appearance could not be seen clearly stood up.
"This is......"
Zhang Fan's breathing became rapid and his voice became serious.
"These are not living people!"
Zhang Fan looked a little ugly and said in a low voice.
"What?!"
When Li Mu and Li Mu heard the sound, their eyes showed horror.
"These are scarecrows!"
Zhang Fan seemed to have clearly seen the faces of those people in the distance, and his tone of voice could not help but become a little louder.
"Huh~ It turns out they are all scarecrows! It's okay then, what did I think they were!"
Li Mu breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he heard it was the scarecrow.
"But their heads are made of living human heads!"
Then, Zhang Fan added with an ugly expression.
These words were like thunder, hitting the minds of Su Qian and Li Mu, making their faces pale.
"Holy crap!! How is this possible!!"
Hearing this, Su Qian's expression suddenly changed, and Li Mu also swayed a few times and almost fell to the ground.
It would be fine if these people were just ordinary scarecrows, and there would be nothing to be afraid of. But the crux of the problem is that the heads of these scarecrows are all made of living human heads.
If you look at it like this, it will look extremely scary and terrifying.
"This is not a kind place, it's better to leave as soon as possible!"
Zhang Fan swallowed and suggested.
His palm is still holding the black leather manual in his pocket. As long as there is a slight disturbance, he will ask the black leather manual for help.
"Let's go, let's go. What are you still waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
Li Mu was also frightened by those scary scarecrows. He no longer had the idea of relaxing and having fun before, and he only wanted to leave here.
But just when they made a move and took a few steps, suddenly, a series of crackling sounds of bones suddenly sounded in the distance.
Hearing the sound of bones snapping, Zhang Fan and the other three subconsciously followed the sound.
It didn't matter what they looked at, it immediately frightened them out of their wits.
Because, at this moment, the heads of the terrifying scarecrows who were originally facing forward, leaving only a back to them, turned around strangely and stiffly, and were staring at Zhang Fan and the three of them.
As these scary scarecrows turned their heads, Zhang Fan and the others could clearly see the terrifying looks on their faces.
I saw that in these scarecrows, the eye sockets of each living human head were flowing with dark blood, as if they had suffered some unimaginable torture during their lifetime, and they were all in a miserable state of death.
And their mouths were wide open, with a long tongue sticking out of it, hanging at the chin, slowly swaying when the wind blew.
"They're moving!"
Li Mu screamed.
Almost as soon as his words were spoken, a series of chain reactions seemed to be triggered, and more and more terrifying scarecrows stood up from the grass.
One, two, three, four, five, ten, a hundred, more and more scarecrows stood up stiffly from where they were.
When they stood up, their living heads also turned ninety degrees, and they all looked at Zhang Fan and the others.
Black blood flowed down the empty eye sockets, and a section of the purple tongue swung back and forth, which was indescribably creepy.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan and the others felt their breathing stagnant, their hearts beating wildly, and an illusion of being surrounded couldn't help but surge into their hearts.
"Run!"
Zhang Fan quickly woke up after a brief trance. Without saying a word, he raised his head towards Li Mu and Li Mu who were still in a daze, and shouted loudly in a low voice.
Now they cannot summon evil ghosts to fight, and are not much stronger than ordinary people. Once they are attacked by hundreds of scarecrows filling the valley, they will be killed instantly without any chance to react. .
Following Zhang Fan's reminder, Li Mu and Su Qian suddenly trembled and quickly came to their senses. Without saying a word, they turned around and ran towards the mountain path from where they came.
However, just when they ran less than ten meters, they all stopped.
After Li Mu and Su Qian stopped, strong despair and fear suddenly appeared on their faces.
Because they discovered that the mountain path they came from had disappeared.
Instead, there is a bottomless cliff.
