Chapter 1465 Footprints
“What’s the sound?”
The fat man was very sensitive to sounds and immediately opened his eyes and looked around.
But it was completely useless. Anyone could see the strangeness of this fog. It appeared almost instantly, but none of them expected that something strange happened on the road before they found Daotou Village. .
“Don’t panic, everyone, try to get together as much as possible.” Jiang Cheng reassured everyone.
They dismounted one after another, and then used their horses to form a circle around the entire team. The people hid in the circle and looked around vigilantly.
The strange sound was very fast, and came around them in a few breaths. Just when they thought they were about to be attacked, the strange sound suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence. The silence is disconcerting.
Jiang Cheng’s eyesight is pretty good, but in such fog, the visibility is less than 3 meters.
But humans can’t see it, and animals can’t feel it either. The originally docile horse kept pacing in place, and it was visibly violent.
There are things nearby. Those things are still there, dormant quietly.
"To stay here is to wait for death. The horse is frightened. We must keep walking."
Zhang Qizheng's voice was trembling, and this old man rarely showed such a side.
Jiangcheng Zhang Qizheng led the horse and walked at the front. Yao, Shunyu and Tang Qisheng were behind. The group confirmed the direction on the map and continued to move forward.
The mountain road was originally difficult to walk, and coupled with the fog, everyone could only move forward gropingly, and their nerves were always tense.
Cold sweat dripped from the fat man's forehead, and his lips trembled, "I said. I said, did you hear it? The sound is still there, right next to us."
Fatty heard it. As they started to move, the strange disappearing sound also sounded at the same time. It was very close to them, very close, and seemed to be hidden behind the mist in front of them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the team suddenly stopped. Jiang Cheng, who was walking at the front, squatted down and stared at the ground.
The fat man walked over and saw footprints and horse hoof prints left on the soft ground.
"This is what we left behind!"
The fat man recognized his footprints at a glance, because he was wearing a pair of sneakers, and the patterns on the soles were still vaguely visible.
Zhu Jie was also a little panicked, and his breathing became rapid, "What is going on? We are lost?"
But everyone knows that this possibility is almost non-existent, because this road is a straight road. It's also marked this way on the map, and there are no forks at all.
“Don’t panic, it must be the fog.” Zhang Qizheng said.
"It seems like something like a ghost hitting the wall, but how could such a thing appear in the daytime."
Tang Qisheng looked puzzled. Ever since he entered this place, he had never been at ease. , as if something must happen, and it seems to have come true.
Everyone did not stay where they were. Jiang Cheng pulled off a piece of cloth, tied it to a prominent tree branch nearby, and then continued to move forward with the team.
But this time they didn’t go very far when the team stopped again, and what they discovered this time shocked everyone.
"Holy shit!" The fat man stared at the messy marks on the ground, his whole body felt bad, "What the hell is this?"
Just after they walked not far away, Jiang Cheng suddenly found that the original footprints on the ground had changed. Because they had been going in circles, there were horse hoof prints on the ground, as well as their footprints. But this time there were other things on the ground, which were bigger than their footprints. Smaller imprint.
About half the size of their footprints, in the shape of an inverted triangle.
Jiang Cheng tested the depth of the footprints with his hands and found that it was deeper than theirs. This was not a small thing, at least not one that could be left by a small animal.
With the discovery of strange footprints, the team fell into an unprecedented panic.
"Those things are following us, aren't they?" the fat man asked.
Tang Qisheng swallowed and his expression fell into panic, "It would be okay if they are really following us. What I'm afraid of is that those things are around us. Have you ever heard of ghosts covering their eyes? Maybe they are covering their eyes. Lived our Eyes, that’s why we can’t get out.”
I have to say that Tang Qisheng’s story is so influential, and Fatty is good at thinking about it. As a result, Fatty’s body trembled so hard that his calves turned. Muscles.
Jiang Cheng stood up at this time and said in a very firm tone: "Don't take chances. It's just like what you said. They are hiding around us, even behind our backs, but we can't see them."< br>
"This" Zhu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then asked bravely: "How can you be sure?"
"It's very simple, you guys squat down and look at these footprints carefully."
< br>Use Jiangcheng, Shao Tong spoke first. He squatted on the ground and gestured with his hands, "Look at these footprints. These footprints are very dense, but at the same time very clear. None of them coincide with our footprints or horse hoof prints. What does this mean?”
Zhu Jie immediately understood, “It means these guys are around us and moving at almost the same speed as us!”
"That's it." Shao Tong took a deep breath, turned to look behind him, and spoke after a long while, "I think we are in big trouble this time."
Now it is certain that the heavy fog this time is Although there are no plans to take action against them for the time being caused by those things, as time goes by and it gets dark, it will be hard to say.
The scene fell into silence, and everyone was thinking of a solution. Soon after, Jiang Cheng's voice sounded, "Maybe the situation is not that bad. I have a way that I can try."
Jiang Cheng turned to look. Tang Qisheng, "Ghosts covering eyes are effective for people, but what about horses?"
Tang Qisheng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "You want to use horses to take us out?"
Jiang Cheng didn't explain much, and immediately chose a roadside with sparse footprints, and then let his horse go.
And they remained motionless, waiting where they were.
The horse was also frightened. After losing control, it immediately raised its hooves and rushed towards the woods beside it instead of along the road.
When the sound of horse hooves completely disappeared, Jiangcheng and others slowly approached the woods. The woods were where the fog was thickest, and just being close made them feel terrified.
A few people overcame their panic and found the hoofprints left by the horses in the woods. This time, the area around the hoofprints was very clean, and the inverted triangular footprints disappeared.
"Successful!"
The fat man was so excited that he was about to follow the hoof prints and leave here. Unexpectedly, he was stopped the next second, "No, this may be a ghost. Everything we see now It could all be an illusion!”
“The back team becomes the front team. , let the horses out, everyone holds their own horses' tails and closes their eyes. "Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man, "You come with me."
"Remember, don't open your eyes. Don’t let go of your ponytail!”(End of Chapter)
