Chapter 1338 Firelight
In an instant, the whole village was lit up with firelight, which was extremely eye-catching in the dark mountains. Jiang Cheng instantly thought of the previous story. The group of bandits mysteriously disappeared into the village, but they appeared again. A fire suddenly appeared in the night.
“Moved... moved.”
I don’t know who’s lips trembled and spit out these two words.
Indeed, the firelight in the cottage moved, slowly squirming like a living creature, first gathering together, and then forming two uneven rows, stiffly moving in one direction in a column.
Jiang Cheng didn't know what words to use to describe the current feeling, eerie, weird, stiff... Each word seemed to have almost the same meaning. In short, these things in front of him were definitely not human, more like crawling out of some evil place. Monsters and monsters.
But now, Jiang Cheng wants to know where these ghosts are going.
The other party seemed not to notice them, but everyone knew that they were led here. Next, the other party will continue to attract them to the real destination tonight.
The fire flickered, like a group of walking zombies without the ability to think, walking farther and farther away.
No. 13 saw this in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He lowered his voice and squeezed it out from between his teeth, "What should I do? Come with me or not, you guys should have a word."
Before several people could answer, a rough man from behind came up and reminded in a trembling voice: "Mr. Luo, our communication with the previous team has been interrupted, and there is also a problem with the communication outside the mountain. The communication line is full of unexplained noises. "
"Activate the backup line." Luo Yunshan's face was gloomy and he didn't look back.
The rough man swallowed, his voice alert and helpless, "I tried it and changed three lines in succession, but they are all the same. The correspondent said that it must have been... interfered by something. , he is confirming the source of interference."
Jiang Cheng frowned, thinking that this is a far-fetched investigation. It must be related to these strange fires. These things are unwilling to let them go, so they will naturally cut them off. Contact with people outside the mountain.
"I'm afraid I can't leave now. I suggest we follow up and see what's going on." Jiang Cheng suggested.
Hearing this, the rough man's face became more and more nervous, "Follow me..."
"Yes, we have only one way to go. These things can attract us back without knowing it this time." If it’s a copycat, then it will be the same next time, we won’t be able to get out of this mountain at all,” No. 2 analyzed calmly.
"Yes, I agree. They must have experienced the situation we are facing. I want to see what these ghosts are doing." No. 13 had Lin Wan'er Luo He in mind and was concerned. The emotion is beyond words, "And I have recovered a lot now. If If you really encounter a great crisis, I can use my abilities and I will try my best to ensure everyone’s safety. Please believe me.”
Although No. 13 looks like a child, his tone when he said this was gentle. Their attitudes were extremely serious, and the determination in their eyes impressed everyone even more.
As the apparent leader of the team, Luo Yunshan turned his head and looked at the man, "Just do as they say, notify them, everyone pack their equipment and set off lightly."
It could be seen that although the man was scared, he still carried out the order resolutely. Everyone did not dare to turn on the flashlight and could only use a little starlight to sneak carefully.
Fortunately, the firelight in front was very eye-catching in the dark night, so they didn't have to worry about losing their target. They left various marks as they walked. If their entire army was wiped out, these would be the final clues.
The distance between the two teams is not very far. Apart from the sound of wind and other sounds, there is no breath of living things in the mountain. Under the cover of night, the whole mountain is completely different from the vitality during the day.
Darkness is like a line of life and death, separating day and night. After nightfall, there is another completely unspeakable world in the mountains.
Following that team, Jiang Cheng and others slowly noticed something was wrong. The opponent's speed didn't seem to be very fast, and it was slow, but in fact, they were gradually pulling away from them. As time went by, the opponent's progress became faster and faster, and the distance between the two gradually widened.
"No way, I will be thrown away sooner or later if this keeps up." No. 2's eyes brightened, "Inform the people behind you to speed up. Don't use up any useless weight in your backpack. Pack lightly and travel lightly."
The fat man looked Looking at the embarrassed figures behind him, he couldn't help but say: "No, we can do it faster." We're here, but their physical strength can no longer keep up. If this continues, someone will fall behind."
The rough man following behind has smoke in his throat from exhaustion. This is a mountain road and the road conditions are bad. It's complicated. Counting the afternoon, they have been trekking in the mountains for 6 or 7 hours. His iron-clad body couldn't bear it anymore. Hearing the fat man's words, he immediately said: "How about... how about this? The action cannot be delayed. You go first. I will lead the team to take in the brothers who can't walk. I guarantee that no one will be killed." I will leave it behind.”
“How can that be done? Where is this place? Once we are separated. Come on, then you..."
The fat man stopped here and did not continue, but everyone understood that this separation would probably be a farewell forever. Without them, these people would not be able to meet each other. The crisis in the mountain is completely like a lamb to the slaughter, even if there are disciples among these people.
"That's right, we can't separate." Jiang Cheng seemed to realize something at this moment, and his expression changed accordingly, "Have you ever thought about what the other party's purpose is?"
"It's not to lead us somewhere. A place?" the fat man asked casually.
"Yes, but have you ever thought about it, if they just want to lure us there, then why are these guys walking so fast, without worrying that we can't keep up?" Jiang Cheng asked back.
Luo Yunshan nodded, seemingly understanding what Jiang Cheng meant, "These guys want to wear us down, let us spread out, and then defeat them one by one."
"That's right. That’s the truth.”
After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Cheng and others slowed down. In their imagination, these guys in front of them were just bait. It seemed that they would be thrown away quickly, but in fact it was just an illusion deliberately created, and the other party was reluctant to let them go. This big fish.
But what surprised everyone was that they were soon slapped in the face. The team in front walked faster and faster, not caring about them at all, until they finally disappeared from sight.
Now everyone was confused. The situation was completely different from what they thought. Now all the equipment in their hands was malfunctioning. The compass was taken out and the needle kept spinning. They were not sure what kind of place this was. Looking around, The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Jiangcheng suddenly feels a sense of fear that people like him have been completely forgotten by the people outside the mountains.
The next second, he seemed to notice something in his peripheral vision, and his pupils trembled violently. (End of this chapter)
