After listening to Li Dabao's narration, I just breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that it is neither a ghost wall-breaking nor some nonsense space folding.
All this is just because it has just rained here.
Those black fogs are related to the special geographical environment here.
Whenever it rains, the moisture in the ground rises, forming a miasma-like existence.
But this kind of black fog appears slowly, not all at once, so it makes people unaware.
The reason why it is so quiet here may also have something to do with the black mist.
But why is our mule okay? It may be because the mule has been staying next to the ghost tree with a human face.
That’s why I’m safe and sound…!
It’s just that there are obvious loopholes in what Li Dabao just told me.
I asked Li Dabao how he knew that Leng Yue and I were in the black mist just now.
Li Dabao chuckled and turned to look at Leng Yue, who had his back to us.
Then he made a gesture to me.
After seeing Li Dabao's gesture, I slowly moved my head over.
But almost as soon as he got closer, he could only feel the sound of blowing in his ears, but couldn't hear any sound. Li Dabao said that he had finished speaking.
"What, it's over, you didn't say anything?"
Li Dabao shook his shoulders helplessly and said, "Anyway, I have already said it. If you don't hear it, it has nothing to do with me."
"Li Dabao, you..."
I was so angry that I wanted to go up and beat Li Dabao, but at this time Leng Yue had already stood up and jumped down from the big tree crown.
"It's time for us to go!"
"Okay, eldest sister!"
Li Dabao hurriedly started to pack up the equipment. At the same time, he took out the gas mask from the mule and gave us and Leng Yue one mask each.
But Leng Yue waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it.
After packing everything, I looked down at the watch on my wrist.
The time has come to 5:40. Although there is still light around, it is obvious that the sun is about to set due to the mountains here.
We followed the ghost tree with a human face and headed southwest. During this period, I took out my compass and looked at it.
At this time, there was no longer the strange poisonous mist. Although the compass still seemed a little ineffective, it was only intermittently, and the general direction could still be determined.
This point was already contrasted with the setting sun when we set out just now.
There are almost every 50 to 60 meters of ghost trees with human faces, and it’s not like all of these ghost trees with human faces are carved on thick trees.
Some of the trees are not thick, but they are tall enough that the human faces carved on them are stretched very long.
In this dim light, looking at those long faces being pulled up, it makes people feel a little creepy.
I can’t remember how many ghost-faced trees there are in total. I could barely count them at first, but the further I went, the more tired I became, and I lost all thought.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the visibility all around was very impressive.
The sound of insects all around started ringing again, although it didn't sound that real, and seemed to be there but not at all.
But at least it proves that we have completely left the place shrouded in black fog.
Li Dabao complained as he walked.
"Where on earth is this mountain god taking us? Why do I still feel like I'm going in circles here?"
I lowered my head and looked at the watch on my wrist again, and found that it was almost nine o'clock.
It has been almost four hours of continuous walking since we set off.
Not only were we very tired, but the mule also began to become sluggish.
I was about to reply when I suddenly realized that Leng Yue, who was walking at the front, couldn't move any further.
The mule on the side also began to look quite impatient, and even made a humming sound in its nasal cavity, swinging its body back and forth from side to side.
Li Dabao stepped forward and spanked the mule hard on the butt.
"You bastard, I'm really worried about your dear brother, can you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Yue said: "Stop talking, there is something ahead...!"
In fact, even without Leng Yue opening her mouth, I could feel the sound of rushing coming from all around, as if something was coming towards us in groups.
The sound came very suddenly, as if it appeared suddenly, but we couldn't see any figure.
The searchlight on the mountaineering helmet did not illuminate very far, and then the three of them turned on their flashlights at the same time.
The light of the flashlight is ray-shaped and can focus on a point. We shine the flashlight towards the source of the sound.
We saw nothing but darkness in the distance, and at the same time a person appeared directly in front of us!
The appearance of a person in such a place is obviously more frightening than the appearance of a ghost.
The man's body was pitch black and there was a lot of green juice. He didn't know what year he was from.
What’s even more incredible is that the man standing in the middle of the road has no head.
In other words, the head is a bird-type thing.
Because our backs are to us, we can't see clearly.
When Li Dabao saw this, he let out a laugh and said, "Damn it, that stupid roe deer is trying to imitate Master Bao and use a penis to scare people here?"
With that said, he walked up with a 64 pistol.
But Leng Yue was faster. Almost as soon as our flashlight shone in, Leng Yue had already walked over there.
At the same time, the Qingling Ancient Sword was also pulled out by Leng Yue.
"Keng..."
There was a sound of the sword being drawn out, and the sound was like the cry of a blue bird.
The entire sword body also emitted a faint green light at the moment it was pulled out, but this green light dimmed in just an instant.
It's like it never happened.
Strangely enough, the sound of birds chirping when the Qingling Sword was pulled out startled the person standing in front of us.
"Wow……"
A very unpleasant crow call reached our ears.
The man's head suddenly moved and he turned to look towards us.
When I saw the real owner, I was shocked.
It turned out to be a black crow with three legs, and its dark feathers shone brightly under the beam of the flashlight.
Its third foot hangs down between its legs, and it's hard to tell how long it is.
What’s even more weird is that these three-legged crows don’t seem to be afraid of the flashlight beam at all, they just stand there quietly.
He turned around and looked in our direction, his eyes were blood red, as if he had pinkeye.
At this time, Leng Yue was less than three meters away from the three-legged crow.
Li Dabao and I both held our breaths and stared at Leng Yue's movements.
Leng Yue was seen charging forward, raising the sword and lowering it, and a light cyan light cut through the night sky.
Li Dabao and I both thought that the strange crow in front of us would be killed on the spot.
But only a cry was heard, and the crow flew up just as the Qingling Sword was about to fall on him.
At this time, I saw a green light flashing on the crow's head. At first glance, it looked like it had a third eye.
Li Dabao even exclaimed in surprise.
"Ouch, what a fool, three-eyed underworld bird...!"
"Sister, be careful, this thing is a gregarious thing..."
At the same time, almost at the same time as Li Dabao exited, Leng Yue took action again.
This time, the three-legged crow was not spared, and its head was beheaded by Leng Yue in mid-air. The body fell from the air, and by chance, it landed on the headless corpse.
A foul smell spread out, and a lot of mucus flowed out of the three-legged crow's body, and the smell spread far away.
The rustling noises around us became more frequent, and they all rushed towards us as if they sensed the smell here.
"Li Dabao, things don't seem to be going well. Miss Leng seems to have made a wrong judgment...!"
"Do you even need to say this?"
Li Dabao retorted, slapped the mule's butt and said: "Run..."
"Sister, run quickly..."
The three of us and one mule rushed forward in the direction pointed by the ghost tree with a human face. The rushing sound behind us got much closer.
While running, I turned around and took a look out of curiosity.
This sight only made my legs and stomach feel weak...!
