"You are all hiding in the mountains, so it's impossible not to communicate. Do you have any gathering days?"
Zhang Hao stopped thinking about the female ghost and looked at the man again.
The man was about to speak, but Zhang Hao suddenly asked again.
"Your name is Chen Lijiu?"
The man was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly.
There was a sign posted on his door with his name and portrait on it.
A strange look flashed in Zhang Hao's eyes.
This portrait seems to be the portrait on the reward order, right?
What did this guy do to deserve a reward?
"Go on."
Zhang Hao said.
Chen Lijiu nodded cautiously.
Now that things have happened, he no longer dares to hide anything from Zhang Hao, so he can just say whatever he wants.
After a while, Zhang Hao learned many secrets of the Valley of the Wicked from his mouth.
To outsiders, the Valley of the Wicked is indeed very mysterious, but in the end the Valley of the Wicked is still a place made up of people.
As long as they are all human beings, they will inevitably have to deal with each other, whether it is buying supplies or seeking help from each other, even if it is just for their own safety, they have to visit each other.
Among Chen Lijiu's narration, what intrigued Zhang Hao the most was not the smuggling channels in the Valley of the Evil, but the market.
People in the Valley of the Wicked have two days a month to go to the market.
People hiding in the mountains are not sensitive to information from the outside world, so they need to find out information from each other.
Moreover, there are many smuggled goods in the mountains, and they need to trade with each other every month in exchange for what they need.
Due to the needs of all parties, this group of people will get together at the end of every month to communicate with each other.
"Have you brought any money?"
Zhang Hao suddenly said.
There is nothing valuable in this dilapidated wooden house. If you want to go to the market, you must at least have money, right?
After hearing this, Chen Lijiu chuckled, pointed to a wooden board next to the door, and then carefully disassembled it and took out a rag bag from inside.
After opening the rag bag, there were stacks of banknotes inside. However, after Zhang Hao looked at it for a moment, he was surprised to find that this was not currency used by ordinary people.
"Sir, we have our own trading rules in the mountains. Money is of no use here, because we all caused murders outside, so money is of no use to us. The only thing that is useful is the reward order."
Chen Lijiu said, picking up one.
I saw that this reward order was clearly a reward for a street robber, but it not only had his name, place of origin, but also his home address.
"A reward list means that you can know the details of a person. If you see him again in the future, you can use this thing to blackmail him. After all, it will not harm his wife and children. As long as he still wants to protect his family, he has to be obedient."< br>
Chen Lijiu chuckled and patted the remaining reward order with a proud look on his face, as if this thing was priceless.
Zhang Hao looked at the reward notice silently, thinking in his heart, and gradually came to his senses.
The so-called trading rules are actually a manifestation of respect for the strong.
In this place, the most important thing is the fist, and besides the fist, the second most important thing is intelligence.
Because everyone has committed a murder, it is impossible to talk to others with their true identity. Once someone discovers his true identity, not only will something happen to him, but his family will also be exposed to public view.
There may be only one person in a million who is not afraid of death, but there may not be one person in a million who is not afraid of involving his family.
The reason why the ancient Zhu San Clan and Zhu Jiu Clan were regarded as the top punishment was because once he violated this kind of punishment, it was not just him who would be punished, but everyone including the Lian family.
The Valley of the Wicked is indeed the Valley of the Wicked.
This reward order is enough to show how vicious they are.
People who trade orders are also trading for other people.
Everyone maintains a strange peace on the surface, but in fact no one is trustworthy, everyone is just pretending.
The reward order is of no use to Zhang Hao.
The reason why Zhang Hao asked Chen Lijiu about currency was just to get money to avoid disasters and increase efficiency.
Using fists is easy, but there will still be a fight, and using something like a bounty order can make transactions faster.
Zhang Hao pushed Chen Lijiu and motioned for him to lead the way.
"Boss, the market will be held in two or three days. Even if we go now, it will be of no use."
Chen Lijiu said with a bitter look on his face.
Zhang Hao looked at him indifferently, said nothing, and just shook his finger.
When Chen Lijiu saw this, he was suddenly shocked. He did not dare to say another word and hurriedly led the way.
Zhang Hao didn't speak, but he saw the meaning behind Zhang Hao.
Either lead the way or die.
There is only one option.
Before going out, Zhang Hao specially took an oil lamp from the door.
The oil lamp was leaning against the door. Chen Lijiu tried his best to appear indifferent, but Zhang Hao still noticed his nervousness.
This oil lamp is unusual.
The fog in the mountains is getting thicker and thicker, and after lighting the oil lamp, the fog can't get close within a space of about two or three meters around.
The biggest impact of the fog in the mountains is not that it blocks the view, but that it contains poisonous gas.
This oil lamp can not only light the way forward, but also prevent the spread of poisonous gas. It is a treasure.
No wonder Chen Lijiu was so nervous. He walked at night with this thing and there was no need to worry about poisoning.
If it were him, he would also hide this thing.
The fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker. In the second half of the night, a hairy moon hung in the sky. The moonlight and the fog were entangled with each other, giving it a strange atmosphere.
Chen Lijiu walked very carefully.
He occasionally looked back at Zhang Hao, his heart twitching with pain.
He bought this oil lamp at a huge price. Unexpectedly, it was so precious that he was reluctant to use it. Instead, it was squandered by Zhang Hao.
However, at this time, there was not much else to worry about.
The two of them walked and stopped along the mountain road, and from time to time they heard the cry of an evil ghost in the mountain.
Zhang Hao suddenly stopped, looked at a dense forest on the mountain road, and said lightly:
"The whole mountain is bare except for a bamboo forest here. Who lives here?"
Chen Lijiu heard this and was too scared to speak.
Before Zhang Hao could speak again, a strange sound suddenly sounded in front of him.
Bang bang bang!
There was a sound of chopping bamboo, and the sound was very rhythmic, like some kind of weird ax chopping human bones.
Zhang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, he suddenly smiled and walked straight into the bamboo forest.
The sky became increasingly weird in the second half of the night, but there was no sound in the Valley of the Wicked.
Chen Lijiu was already extremely frightened. When he saw Zhang Hao rushing in, he was startled. He wanted to go in but didn't dare, so he could only stand outside and worry.
And just when he was struggling, Zhang Hao had already walked in.
The moment Zhang Hao entered the bamboo forest, the surrounding bamboos seemed to suddenly come to life, constantly entangled with each other, and instantly formed a wall of bamboo forest, blocking Zhang Hao's retreat.
Seeing this situation, Chen Li took a deep breath and hurriedly retreated.
In the bamboo forest.
Xiaomei and Jinmao both looked tired.
Behind them, several water friends and anchors were horrified. When they first came to the Valley of the Wicked, they were extremely excited, thinking that they would definitely make money and get rich.
However, after being frightened one after another, all he wanted to do now was escape back to the world.
However, for some reason, they were clearly walking on the same path, but unknowingly, they broke into a bamboo forest.
They were running around in the bamboo forest like ghosts beating a wall. After getting lost several times, they were so tired that they almost collapsed and huddled in a corner of the bamboo forest, hoping that the sun would rise soon.
Just when everyone was extremely tired, Jin Mao, who was half leaning next to Xiaomei, suddenly trembled and got up suddenly. The dagger in his hand was pointed in one direction, and his face was twisted in horror.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Boss, don't scare us!"
Everyone who was a little tired just now was startled and hurriedly came to his side.
When people are afraid, they will subconsciously gather in one place.
At this time, they just want to hide in one place and use their so-called strength in numbers to resist.
The golden retriever's face was filled with horror.
The ferocity that had been suppressed in his heart was once again aroused.
I saw him holding a dagger, staring in one direction, and roared fiercely.
"Shut up, I can't hear you clearly."
The golden retriever's roar frightened everyone. Everyone covered their mouths and looked forward with wide eyes.
I saw a strange red light appearing in the darkness in front of the bamboo forest.
In the red light, something seemed to be shaking and approaching them.
A light illuminates slightly.
Everyone suddenly exclaimed, and saw not far in front of them, in the angle between two bamboos, a woman wearing a red robe holding a sharp ax in her hand, and struck the bamboo forest with an axe.
The huge bamboo pole was cut directly, and the bamboo swayed and fell to the ground, and dust suddenly flew up.
What kind of monster is this?
Could it be the female ghost in red?
Can anything good happen to a female ghost holding a sharp ax in the middle of the night?
Everyone took a breath and subconsciously wanted to escape.
Xiaomei was already extremely frightened. Feeling the fear of everyone, she said tremblingly:
"Brothers, you said you would protect me, you must not leave me alone."
"Protect you? We can hardly protect ourselves, how can we control your life and death?"
Everyone was complaining in their hearts, but they didn't say it out of concern for their dignity.
"Shut up, if you hadn't caused the trouble, why would we be here?"
The golden retriever said through gritted teeth.
This trip was all suggested by Xiaomei. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come to a place like this.
Everyone's heartbeats were racing and they were extremely frightened. As long as there was a slightest abnormality, the team would immediately fall apart.
It was precisely because he was aware of this that Golden Retriever did not scold Xiaomei too much.
The female ghost in red is getting closer and closer.
Amidst the strange sounds, the female ghost was less than ten meters away from them.
Everyone was tense.
"It's midnight, I want to drink some blood."
The female ghost in red looked at everyone leisurely, her eyes swept over one person, and the murderous look on her face became stronger.
As an alternative in the valley of villains, she has a space of her own.
This bamboo forest was given to her by the Lord of the Valley of the Wicked.
Everyone else can only hide in dilapidated wooden houses, and only she can monopolize a forest of several kilometers.
However, this is both a privilege and a restriction.
The other party only allowed her to stay in the bamboo forest and did not allow her to go out.
At first, the female ghost thought this was a benefit. After all, the Lord of the Valley of the Evil had fallen into a deep sleep. As long as he didn't wake up, there was no limit to what he could do.
However, when she actually entered the bamboo forest, she found that it was a trap.
There is a special formation in the bamboo forest. With the blessing of this formation, you can make rapid progress during practice, but once you get older, you will be unable to escape from the formation.
There are no outsiders in the Valley of Evil. Everyone else knows the weirdness of this place, so even if they die, they will not rush into the bamboo forest.
The female ghost in red knew very well that the Lord of the Valley of the Wicked was not a good person.
The real reason why he deceived himself into this bamboo forest was just to use himself as a tonic.
Back then, she fought with the Lord of the Valley of the Evil, and the other party was seriously injured, but she also broke through her own bottleneck.
As long as the other party ends her seclusion and comes out, she will be the first one to eat her.
During the days when she was banned from the bamboo forest, she had been extremely anxious, worried that the Lord of the Valley of the Evil would wake up at any time.
However, there is no perfect way.
Just when she thought she was desperate, several living people rushed in unexpectedly.
The blood of living people can help her break through her own limits, and can also help her overcome the formation restrictions in the bamboo forest.
"I will only kill one person today, you can choose for yourself."
The female ghost in red said leisurely, with a strange smile on her lips.
The yang energy in these people is too strong, and they have a very weird aura.
For safety reasons, she could not let these people unite, but let them fight among themselves. Only in this way could she kill them effortlessly.
Jin Mao is an old Jianghu, and he instantly understood the true intention of the female ghost in red, but the gang of anchor boys around him were used to intrigues, and they subconsciously wanted to push someone out.
And the victim they pushed out was Xiaomei.
Xiaomei screamed, hugged Golden Retriever's shoulders fiercely, and looked at the female ghost in horror.
"Everyone, calm down, don't be frightened by the female ghost! With so many of us together, the yang energy on our bodies can block the ghost energy, and she won't dare to come close!"
Jin Mao said coldly, holding Xiaomei in his arms, and pointed the dagger straight at the female ghost in red.
A hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the female ghost in red.
Someone actually saw through his intentions. This person deserves to die.
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the other side of the bamboo forest.
The female ghost in red was slightly startled and couldn't help but look back.
What the hell is going on today?
In the past few years, no living person had come in, but today there were two waves of people.
Thinking of this, her body flashed and disappeared into nothingness, flying to the other side.
The few here are all turtles in the urn, so it doesn't matter if you wait and kill them later.
On the other side, something seems a little weird and I need to check it out right away.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the female ghost disappear.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
everyone asked.
After hearing this, Golden Retriever said without thinking:
"Follow me!"
They have no way out, they have no choice but to charge forward! (End of chapter)
