Li Baitian took out several magic weapons and shook them, making Xia Weiguo and others swallow their saliva.
"Don't worry, young master, Xia will definitely protect you!"
"Young men, go up the mountain and clear the way!"
Xia Weiguo stopped talking about resting. The crowd formed a circle, protecting Li Baitian and Jiang Chuan in the center, and walked cautiously towards the mountain.
Even an iron-clad man cannot resist the temptation of magic weapons. There is no city where high-level weapon refiners are stationed. Magic weapons of better quality need to be purchased from other cities, and they are not productive themselves.
Naturally, the items that can be bought and sold in other cities will not be rare items. The high-quality magic weapons will be picked up by the senior officials of various tribes in advance, and the rest will be given to their soldiers. It can be said that their magic weapons are all picked by others. Several rounds of leftovers.
If they hold the best yellow grade magic weapon, their strength can reach another level.
Li Baitian asked: "Is this your first time here? Why are you walking so carefully?"
Xia Weiguo said: "It's our first time going up the mountain. In the past, we just put the body at the foot of the mountain and left it alone. The city lord also prohibited us from going up the mountain."
The group of people climbed up a small slope and were stunned by what they saw.
Skeletons are like mountains, bones are like forests!
The mountains and plains are covered with bones, buried in the mud.
There are all skeletons fishing on the towering ancient trees. The breeze blows through the skeletons, and a whining sound leaks out of the gaps between the skeletons, which is terrifying.
Severed hands, severed legs, heads, brains, from monsters and humans, can be seen everywhere. The stench blows in the face along with the wind, crazily pouring into everyone's noses and throats, stinging their brains for a while.
"This, this, this..."
Xia Weiguo's eyes were filled with horror. He never thought that the scene on the mountain would be like this.
The rest of the soldiers knelt on the ground, crawling and vomiting wildly, looking extremely embarrassed.
Although Li Baitian felt uncomfortable, he still had the foundation for physical refining, so he could endure it.
As for Jiang Chuan, he just frowned slightly. Although he was surprised, he didn't feel too uncomfortable about this bloody picture.
"This is much larger than a mass grave."
"Adjutant Xia, seeing how you look like this, is this the first time I know this?"
Li Baitian did not act rashly, he stopped where he was and asked.
"I... don't know why this is the case..."
"There should be someone dedicated to dealing with monsters..."
Xia Weiguo's voice was hoarse, and he almost vomited bile. He felt a sense of respect for Li Baitian and Jiang Chuan in his heart. These two young masters were able to keep their expressions straight. They were really great people.
He was a little exhausted and leaned against an ancient tree to catch his breath. The other soldiers followed suit and fell to the ground leaning against the ancient tree.
But soon, there were several hoarse screams of panic.
"Soft!"
"There's blood!"
Li Baitian stepped forward: "What's wrong? There are corpses everywhere, of course there is blood."
Jiang Chuan pointed to the ancient tree: "They are talking about this tree. There is something on the trunk."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the tree trunk, brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, revealing a hint of intoxication: "Human blood, these tree trunks are wrapped with human veins."
Li Baitian didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
"You know, peeling and cramping, it's just pulling out a person's tendons and wrapping them around a tree."
Jiang Chuan explained in an easy-to-understand manner. The soldiers who were leaning on the tree trunks suddenly jumped three feet high, rushed out in a few short steps, turned around and knelt down, bowed their heads to the trees, and murmured something.
It's nothing more than praying for God's blessings, saying that I have offended a lot of other nonsense.
Li Baitian looked angry and funny. Is it useful to pray to God and Buddha at this time?
"What's the point of having a man's sinews wrapped around a tree?"
"Of course, human muscles are a great tonic, and these trees will absorb the essence in them to grow."
The two of them asked and answered questions as if nothing was wrong, which made Xia Weiguo frightened.
They were scared to death. How could these two people seriously discuss the meaning of a human being entangled with a tree?
Xia Weiguo's voice trembled: "You two, leave quickly. This place is evil and there is definitely witchcraft. Let's go back and report it to the Lord of Mingxia City to find out what he did to do such an evil thing!"
Li Baitian saw several soldiers retreating and retreating, and immediately shouted: "Don't move!"
But that's when he finished speaking.
The soldiers screamed, and their bodies suddenly sank into the ground. They waved their hands and struggled, and their cultivation in the foundation stage exploded, and the mud flew up. But not only did they not escape, but they sank faster, leaving only a pair of hands still messing around on the surface. Grip.
After a while, he completely disappeared.
"Evil magic, indeed there is evil magic!"
"This place eats people!"
Xia Weiguo's face turned pale, and no matter how scared he was, he didn't dare to move at all.
"It's not some magic, it's just a natural phenomenon."
"Human hair is turned into felt pieces, and human skin and flesh are rotted into mud. Pay attention to your feet. There is no soil here. It is all made of human skin and flesh. It looks hard but is actually soft. If you step on it, it will be the same as falling into a mire. , the more you struggle, the faster you fall in."
Li Baitian said lightly, as long as you look carefully at your feet, you can easily find that it is all flesh and mud, and the area is too large. Even those who are in the foundation-building stage can't break free, because the mud is soft and has strong adsorption power, and it can also unload. force.
The correct way is to lie flat, slowly slide your hands over your body, and let yourself swim out of the mire bit by bit.
However, these people's psychological quality is not good, and they are getting deeper into panic.
"That's right. Those who get trapped should treat them as dead. After all, no one knows what will happen next."
"Find a place where bones gather. These places are stronger and less likely to sink in."
Jiangchuan said.
They acted very calmly, which gave Xia Weiguo and his team a lot of courage.
But after hearing the meaning of the two men's words, it seemed that they didn't intend to withdraw. Xia Weiguo couldn't help but asked: "Are you going in?"
Li Baitian said without hesitation: "Of course, I came here to find the problem. Now that the problem has been discovered, we have to know the reason. There may be a reason on the top of this mountain."
"me too."
Jiang Chuan agreed, wondering what he was thinking.
"Two young masters, you see these people are scared and timid. I will arrange for them to go back the way they came, and I will follow you there alone. How about that?"
Xia Weiguo looked troubled, but he gritted his teeth and made some determination.
Li Baitian smiled when he heard this: "Adjutant Xia, you are a nice person. Tell the truth. Does Xia Jiuquan want you to kill me? Do you want to send these soldiers away and do it yourself to protect them?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Xia Weiguo didn't expect that Li Baitian would pierce the window paper directly. He was taciturn and never showed any clues, yet he was still guessed.
"Yes, but when I saw this scene, I knew that even if I didn't kill you, I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. It's enough for me to be in danger alone. If I die here, my old brothers can have an explanation when they go back."
"Brother Xia, what are you talking about? You think we are cowards!"
"Brothers, although they are quiet on weekdays, we all remember your kindness in our hearts. If you go up the mountain, we will follow you up!"
"Xiaowu and the others are gone. I have to know why they are gone. Otherwise, if we don't even have an enemy, wouldn't we be miserable if we go back?"
"Young pretty boy, if you want to do it, do it. We will accompany you. Who will live and who will die is still unknown!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately became angry and most of them dispersed in fear.
