Chapter 598 Cannibals on Yinming Mountain
,.
"It's a pity that Tianhong had a mental problem. If we take him to control the wind, it would probably worsen his injuries. The three demons such as Mo Chen were beaten back to their original form. At present, we can't take them with us, so we can only be blessed with Yi Yang."
fine.
I smiled at the two of them, gritted my teeth and carried Tianhong on my back, and the three of them found their way to climb the mountain again.
Fortunately, I have been exercising frequently in college over the years, so my body’s foundation is still very thick. Although I don’t have the superb skills as Xue Yan and Xuanyuan Chang, it’s not a big problem to carry a person for several miles.
After climbing the mountain full of thorns for a while, the three of them had already arrived at the middle of the mountain. Since the mountain was not very far from the town, people often came to chop wood, and some hikers from Mu Ming occasionally camped on the mountain. After a long time, several trails were developed on the mountain, so that although I carried myself on my back, I didn't have a hard time.
Someone!
Xian'er suddenly lowered her voice alertly, and at the same time, she pointed to the forest ahead, signaling us to silence.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were only a few rays of sunset in the sky and they were still struggling to fall, but the jungle with high mountains and dense forests was already a little dark. So although Xian'er reminded someone in front of me, I looked up and saw nothing.
"You two are here first. I'll go ahead to find out what's going on and see who is still staying on the mountain so late."
Out of caution, Xian'er gently placed the luggage on her back on the ground, and at the same time signaled us not to leave with her eyes, and then bent and climbed into the forest in front alone.
"Yiyang, are you afraid?" Xueyan sat beside the grass and asked with interest.
I looked around and saw that the mountain was completely sunk into the darkness at this time, and sparse moonlight fell from the trees in the forest. Occasionally, mountain birds flew past the trees above their heads, alarming the sound of insects. The quiet environment was filled with romance, but also with some danger.
He lowered his voice and replied softly: "I'm not afraid, but the forest looks quite quiet, but there may be dangers lurking in the jungle, so we must be careful."
Soon, there were footsteps in the woods ahead, and occasionally there were a few conversations. If we distinguish them from the sound, Xian'er should have brought other people over.
With a curious attitude, Xueyan and I stared at the forest ahead, looking forward to the sacred person who appeared with Xian'er.
About thirty seconds later, under the light of Xian'er's flashlight, a rural man in his forties walked out of the south forest with Xian'er.
"Xian'er, is this uncle..."
"Oh, let me introduce it."
Xian'er said with a smile: "This is Liu Bo, he is an old hunter in the mountains. The sound we heard just now is actually that he is hunting."
Then Xian'er pointed to Xueyan and me, and Tianhong, who fainted, and explained to the so-called Uncle Liu: "Uncle, these two are my good friends. The man who was unconscious on the ground was sick. We took him to Yangming Mountain to treat his illness, but he got lost on the mountain. Can you point us a way to Yangming Mountain?"
"What, you want to go to Yangming Mountain in the middle of the night?" The hunter named Liu Bo asked in a little frightened question.
From his tone, I seemed to feel something was wrong. Could it be that there was something strange on this mountain?
At that moment, we hurriedly asked: "Uncle, our friend is very ill and needs to be treated as soon as possible, so we can't waste time any longer. We can only go up the mountain overnight. I wonder if there is any danger on this mountain?"
The hunter looked at the three of us with a puzzled look, then fixed his eyes on Tianhong. After a moment of silence, he whispered: "From this path, you will see a cliff in about an hour. After turning over the cliff, you can reach the boundary of Yangming Mountain."
but……
"But what, please tell me if you have something to do!" Xue Yan reminded calmly.
The old man paused, and then said in a fearful and worried tone: "Although Yangming Mountain is not far from our town, few people have gone to the mountain since ancient times. From my father's mouth, there are a group of people-eating races living on the mountain, and devils who can devour everything!"
"Ah, is it true?"
Although I asked him whether it was true or not, I had already determined in my heart that this was a story of fooling three-year-old children. What kind of cannibalism is all spread by rumors and it is not credible at all.
In my worldview, the only cannibal in the world should be the primitive tribe living in the Amazon basin. How could there be a cannibal in the peaceful land like the Heavenly Dynasty in my Shenzhou?
However, the old man replied unexpectedly: "There are really, there were people who were not afraid of death before going to Yangming Mountain, but they basically went there without returning."
"If I hadn't met you just now, I'd already gone down the mountain. It was very dangerous after nightfall. Not to mention that those sucking races would come, even the wild dogs, wolves and poisonous snakes hidden on the mountain could tear you three people who looked pampered and elegant!"
After saying that, the hunters stopped talking to us, but just packed up their luggage and the prey they captured today, and ran quickly down the mountain. Looking at the situation, I was afraid I didn't want to stay for a minute.
After the hunter left, the three of them were thinking about the authenticity of his words.
Therefore, no wind comes from the hole, and things will come from the bottom of the hole.
I think although he cannot believe everything he said, it should not be a random fabrication.
After a short while of silence, Xueyan took the lead in asking: "What should I do now? Should I continue moving forward?"
Of course!
Xian'er replied without hesitation: "Time doesn't wait for anyone. It has been three days since we went from Chancheng to Qingshui Town. If we drag it on, I'm afraid that even if we find Zhiren Zhima in the end, Tianhong might become dementia due to his mental damage for too long, and he will regret it at that time."
Um.
I nodded in agreement and said, "Xian'er's words are reasonable. We should arrive at Yangming Mountain as soon as possible, and then set up a tent on the spot for one night."
"As for what cannibal races the hunters talk about, as well as the wild dogs and wolves that will tear us apart, I don't think it's all right, but I should be wary."
Since Xian'er and I nodded and said yes, Xueyan naturally wouldn't say anything more.
What's more, her Yin Yao Girl has never been a timid person. She thought that she once lived alone in a mass grave in western Hunan, and was accompanied by ghosts and wild dogs for many years. She never feared her. She naturally wouldn't take the small barren mountain in front of her.
