Lonnie and I looked at each other and started climbing without saying anything else!
Because the townspeople used to walk on this mountain road frequently, the road surface is relatively gentle, so it doesn’t take much effort to climb up.
Both sides of the mountain road are covered with shrubs, and a mountain stream flows straight down. From time to time, the sounds of insects and birds can be heard in the bushes.
It seems that this Jiajin Mountain is beautiful and full of life, and there is no sense of danger at all.
But I know very well that the more harmless a place seems to be, the more likely it is that there is a high degree of danger hidden there.
Therefore, Lonnie and I have always been vigilant, always paying attention to the movements around us, and not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
Not long after, we had climbed halfway up the mountain. Apart from encountering a few pheasants along the way, we didn't see any monsters.
The mountain road turned a corner here, and you could see a wooden house not far away, hidden among the trees.
When we set off, Mayor Zhao once told us that this wooden house is a rest stop for the townspeople. Usually some people go up the mountain to collect medicine or hunt. If it is too late, they will stay in the wooden house for one night. Second Go back down the mountain in the morning.
Lonnie and I walked outside the cabin, opened the latch on the door, and walked in.
The wooden house is not big. There is a wooden bed near the corner. Opposite is a stove and a pile of charcoal is piled next to it.
There was a bucket on the other side of the wooden bed, and a large piece of bacon hung on the wall, obviously prepared for overnight guests.
The supplies here are quite complete, enough for one person to live there for more than ten days.
"Ni, it seems that we will stay here tonight."
I turned back to Lonnie and said.
Lonnie nodded: "Although this Jinshan Mountain seems peaceful, I always feel that something is not right. Maybe something will happen tonight."
"Xiao Chengzi, you must be more vigilant at night and don't fall asleep to death."
I chuckled and said, "It's okay. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Lonnie gave me an angry look: "Don't giggle. Since Master Kong'an said that this place is related to the God of Death, if a monster appears, it will definitely not be an ordinary monster. You must not be careless."
I quickly put on a serious expression: "Okay Ni, I will definitely pay attention."
After this trek, I felt a little hungry after a while. I just looked at the bacon hanging on the wall and didn't eat it.
Who knows if you will get infected after eating this stuff?
Fortunately, I brought some dry food with me. After the two of them ate a few compressed biscuits, they sat on the bed and waited quietly for the monster to appear.
It gets dark very quickly in the mountains, but after a while, night falls, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and clear waters in the daytime looks a little disgusting now.
In order to attract the monster to show up, I came up with an idea and took off the piece of bacon and placed it on the open space outside the door.
Lonnie and I were motionless, just sitting cross-legged on the bed with our eyes slightly closed, as if we had entered a state of selflessness.
As the night progresses, various unknown creatures that lurk in the mountains during the day begin to become active.
Outside the wooden house, there were rustling sounds from time to time, as if there were some living creatures wandering around outside.
As my spiritual awareness has improved, my eyesight has become extraordinary. Even in the dark, I can clearly see living creatures a hundred meters away.
In order to confirm the situation outside, I opened my eyes and looked outside through the window.
But in the mountain forest not far away, there were numerous shadows and countless red lights, projecting towards the wooden house.
I took a closer look and found that these red lights were the eyes of some animals!
These beasts seemed to have discovered the bacon we put outside. They were all panting like cattle and jumping anxiously back and forth among the trees.
However, although these beasts were anxious, they always kept a certain distance from the wooden house, and none of them dared to approach.
When I was puzzled, I saw Lonnie standing next to me and suddenly stood up and opened the door.
When the beasts saw Lonnie's appearance, they trembled with fright, scattered one after another, and soon disappeared.
Only then did I realize that the reason why these beasts showed such fear was because they were afraid of Lonnie!
After all, Lonnie is the Great Immortal of the Waiwutang Lang family, so she naturally has a strong deterrent effect on ordinary wild beasts.
"Ni, that's amazing!"
I gave Lonnie a thumbs up and did not hesitate to praise her.
Lonnie pursed her lips and was about to say something, but suddenly, she took a step back with a nervous look on her face, as if she had seen something terrifying.
"Xiao Chengzi, don't talk!"
Lonnie gestured with her fingers and made a silencing gesture towards me.
I nodded slightly, then slowly turned my head and looked outside.
But where the beasts were standing, there was a huge figure walking towards the wooden house.
When the owner of the shadow walked out of the forest, a clear ray of moonlight fell down and shone on it.
Only then did I see clearly that what appeared in our sight was actually a brown bear!
This brown bear is huge, roughly estimated to be at least three meters long, and its brown fur shines dazzlingly in the moonlight.
At this moment, Lonnie's intimidating power seemed to have lost its effect. The brown bear ignored our existence and walked towards the bacon in a swagger.
As the brown bear gradually approached, I suddenly discovered that its pupils were covered with a layer of white mist, there were several huge wounds on its ribs, and there were bursts of rancid smell...
There seems to be something wrong with this brown bear...
Just when I was wondering, the brown bear had already walked up to the bacon, stood upright, grabbed the bacon with its huge paws, and started to eat it crazily.
Watching the brown bear gnawing at the influence, for some reason, I thought of the infected residents of Sitting Bull Town...
"This brown bear is already dead."
Just when I was puzzled, Lonnie suddenly spoke softly and said something that shocked me extremely.
In this case, this brown bear, like the residents, has been infected. What appears in front of us now is not a living animal at all, but a bear corpse!
What kind of existence can easily kill this giant bear and then turn it into a bear corpse?
Lonnie gestured to me, and I knew immediately what she meant.
While the brown bear was munching on the bacon, I picked up a stone on the ground, flicked my fingers, and the stone flew out and hit the brown bear directly on the head.
The brown bear was stunned for a moment and stopped what he was doing. His white eyes looked around and he soon saw the wooden house in front of him.
After a slight hesitation, the brown bear put down the bacon in his palm and began to walk towards the wooden house.
