Chapter 214 The Legend of the Treasure

baby?

I immediately stopped and said in surprise: "What baby? What do you mean? I just want to find my partner. Where did you get the baby..."

The weird man was stunned for a moment, with incredible expressions in his eyes. He suddenly lowered his head and closed his eyes and said, "You go."

It was so inexplicable that I looked at him strangely, smiled at him, and continued to walk into the stone chamber.

"stop."

He shouted again from behind, and I turned back again, he pointed to the entrance of the passage and hissed: "Get out here, otherwise you will die."

I pretended to hesitate and said, "I just went in and checked. If they were curious and walked in, fainted due to lack of oxygen, or were injured by the big mouse just now, I could save them. If they were not here, it would not be too late to go out. Besides, this place looks like a tomb, and it is probably not too big."

The strange man's face twitched slightly, as if he was smiling bitterly, but then he returned to his cold face and said, "The one who entered the front is dead. If you want to enter, you will die."

I immediately widened my eyes, and my heart was shocked, almost like a bucket of cold water pouring my head down. He said that the one who entered the front was dead?!

"Who died, when, and how, please make it clear..." I rushed over desperately, grabbed his clothes, asked loudly, and even shook slightly.

"Many people, many people, are dead, all are dead..."

A strange expression suddenly appeared on the weird man's face, and then he opened his mouth and laughed like a madman. However, his voice was hoarse and low, and his face was twisted. When he smiled, it was really weird and ugly.

I frowned, let go of my hand, calmed myself down. He laughed for a long time, suddenly stopped laughing, rolled his one-eye, and said in a strange voice: "It seems that you are a good person, alas, you are the only one who is a good person..."

He said these two sentences inexplicably, then fell silent, and suddenly said, "Actually, I want to save you..."

I was stunned.

Next, the weird man told me that he was actually the guardian of the mountain here. His duty was to rescue those who broke into the mountains by accident. As for those who came with bad intentions, he always ignored them.

In his intermittent narrative, I slowly pieced together the truth of this matter...

There is a legend in this mountain. A long time ago, I don’t know the specific year and month. There is a small village in the mountain living a secluded life, like a paradise.

Many years later, a herb collector went into the mountain to discover this small village. Later, somehow, rumors gradually spread outside that there was a place of peach blossoms in the mountains. It was a wealthy living here a long time ago. It has been passed down for many years and has been destroyed and has been destroyed. The countless treasures brought into the mountains were piled up like mountains and became ownerless treasures. If someone could find them, he could make a fortune.

As the saying goes, wealth is moving. Although no one knows the truth or falsehood of this rumor, some people would rather believe it and take a risk to go into the mountain to find treasure. At the beginning, people didn't believe it, but when they saw someone going up the mountain, they were immediately moved, fearing that they would be taken first. So an inexplicable treasure hunt craze suddenly surged, and countless people rushed into the mountain regardless of everything.

At that time, a hunter named Chang who lived at the foot of the mountain advised everyone not to be obsessed with money, because he went into the mountains all year round and knew that there were evil beasts and snakes in the mountains, which were very dangerous. Many people had already been in danger in the mountains, and the saying of treasure was a vague thing, so why bother to save their lives for a mere rumor?

However, although this hunter was kind enough to persuade him, no one listened to him, just pretending that he meddled with other people's business or wanted to take over the treasure himself, so he still poured into the mountains.

In this way, many years have passed slowly, and the treasure matter still has no whereabouts, but all those who go to hunt for treasure will go without returning.

As more and more people disappeared, people became more and more disappointed. At the same time, the mountains gradually became forbidden areas and became synonymous with death and mystery, and this rumor gradually faded.

However, despite this, people often come to me and covet treasures in the mountains. The descendants of the hunter who were often hunting followed the teachings of their ancestors and took root here from then on, in order to persuade those greedy people to return to their desolate paths.

And the weird man in front of me at this time has been a descendant of countless generations of hunters.

This weird man has lived in the mountains for decades. Because he encountered evil beasts in the mountains when he was young, he almost died. Since then, he has left terrifying scars on his face, so he has become even more withdrawn and no longer goes down the mountain. More than ten years have passed, which has caused him to speak now.

When he saw me today, he saw me young and thought it was a mistake to break through, but when he heard that I had companions, he immediately became suspicious and wanted to attack me. But he just wanted to trap me and ask me what happened. However, he didn't expect that I was injured by my arm and had no choice but to escape into the ancient tomb. So the scene just now happened...

After hearing what he said, I realized that he was not trying to harm me, but just wanted to stop others from entering the dangerous land. But what does the small mountain village in the story have to do with this ancient cemetery? Is the so-called dangerous land this ancient tomb or a small village?

This weird man should be called a hunter now. He told these things incoherently, and then he stopped talking, murmured lightly and moved his lips slightly, but he didn't know what he was talking about. He seemed to have fallen into memories.

I looked around and frowned and said, "Chang...Uncle, you have been in this mountain for a long time. What dangers are there in this ancient tomb? What village is there? Don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in treasures. To be honest, I'm a person who can't live for a few years and doesn't even have any desire for money. I just hope that my companions will be fine... Uh, have you really not seen them?"

He slowly came to his senses and looked at me and said, "Just now, not long ago, someone fought with the big snake..."

I hurriedly asked who the man was. He said, just before I came, someone had just encountered the snake in the valley. He followed the sound to rescue him, but heard a few gunshots. The valley was like a mountain collapse and cracked. Then a man rushed out of the valley and went up the hillside. When he saw that the man was very skilled and had a gun, he did not show up because in his mind, no one was good, and even if he went to the deep mountains, he would die.

He lurked in the forest for a while, and saw that there was no movement, he was about to go back. Unexpectedly, at this moment, I ran to the valley again. Seeing that I was not old, he hurried over, but happened to be chasing the snake, so he threw down the rope in time and rescued me.

After hearing this, I immediately understood that the person he was talking about was probably the policeman this morning. He must have tracked the cat slave here, went into the mountains to search, accidentally walked to the big snake's territory in the valley, and then started a human-snake battle, and finally escaped. Unexpectedly, I went in again at this time.

Thinking about it now, I am still scared. The pool of blood at the bottom of the valley must have been mostly injured by the big snake. When I was angry, I went there. Fortunately, I ran fast and encountered this common hunter again. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I don’t think I now have the ability to deal with a giant python more than ten meters long without a hand.

The matter has been cleared, and the policeman has also come to the mountains. Although Nangong Feiyan and Mo Xiaobai are still missing, they are certain that they are mostly in the mountains. However, I have not met them yet.

I looked deep in the stone chamber and thought about these things. I was just unable to think of the reason. I accidentally lowered my head and happened to see the corpse of the giant rat that I beat to death. My heart suddenly moved and asked Chang Hunter: "Uncle Chang, do you often come here before?"

He nodded slowly and said, "I will come down when I am bored, but if I don't walk far, I will get lost here."

"Then, have you ever seen such a big mouse when you came down before?" I asked again. He thought for a while and said, "No, there are no ones here, I've walked a little farther away. When I met, I'll come back. It's okay."

I understand what he meant, he said that there are usually no such rats here, only if you go further, and if you meet them, he will come back, so there is no danger.

But, just now he came down, he encountered such a thing and attacked people. What is the reason?

I thought to myself, it was probably someone who entered the ancient tomb and disturbed these mutated big mice!

That's right, it's probably the case. Otherwise, according to what he said just now, he was fine many times, so there was no reason. Something happened suddenly this time. It must be that some changes occurred in this ancient tomb.

"Someone has come from the ancient tomb." I suddenly spoke, and looked at him at the same time, staring at the change of his expression. Chang Hunter was slightly stunned, leaning on the hunting knife in his hand, stood up, listened to the movement, looked at me in confusion, and said, "Is it your partner?"

"I don't know either." I shook my head, "But no matter who it is, as long as someone comes in here, there will be clues. Uncle Chang, I want to go deeper and look for it again. Don't you mind?"

After I asked, he lowered his head and raised his head for a long time. He seemed to have made up some determination. He was about to talk to me, but at this moment, a few gentle taps suddenly came from the stone wall next to him.
