It was quiet in the Western Zhou Dynasty. A gust of wind blew by, stirring up subtle cries in the forest, and the slight chill also swept over the upper body.
Yin Ling'er couldn't help but shudder and looked at Lao Jiang with expectant eyes!
Lao Jiang also wanted to avoid this place, but this seemed to be the only way to reach the top of Wawu Mountain...
He borrowed a telescope from Ge Weihan, stood on a high place, and looked around to the west.
But as we watched, his face became darker and darker, and his mouth became tighter and tighter. Finally, he had no choice but to sentence us to death: "There is probably no way around this place!"
I was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "What about Wuxi and the others? Didn't they successfully bypass Heizhugou before?"
Lao Jiang shook his head: "It's different here! The Ecstasy surrounds the entire top of the mountain. Let alone us, even if they have wings, they have to pass through here."
In other words, Mihuntang is a forbidden place that no one can escape from.
Either Ussi or us!
We stood on the top of the cliff and saw a winding stream extending downwards along the cracks in the rocks, like a long spirited snake holding its head, cautiously reaching down.
The rugged rocks are no match for the terror of the forest. Once the Long Snake Stream submerges into the forest, there is no trace of it.
The milky white mist covered everything, with only a few gloomy dark green thousand-year-old trees occasionally breaking through the white mist, revealing their huge crowns, like a monster that had lived for who knows how many years!
Everything here feels mysterious, unknown, and deeply weird!
"According to the records of West China University, the terrain of Mihuntang is complex and the geology is abnormal. There are lakes, swamps, miasma, and ferocious beasts, but there is no road!"
Ge Weihan held the telescope and stretched his neck, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, but he still couldn't see clearly what was hidden in the fog.
"Anyway, it's hard to tell the direction when we enter there. The only thing we can recognize is the river, but the river becomes complicated here. I don't know how many there are..."
While speaking, Ge Weihan looked at Lao Jiang: "Mr. Jiang, are you sure you want to enter Ecstasy?"
With a bang, I clearly heard the sound of Ge Weihan swallowing after finishing speaking. At this time, compared with challenging himself on the adventure, facing this ecstasy, he was only intimidated and unsure of himself.
"Enter!"
Lao Jiang made the decision almost without hesitation.
Then he turned to look at Yin Ling'er and me: "You are still young and have the right to choose to have children..."
"Master, this is the first time you don't sell your apprentice, which makes me quite touched. But thank you for your concern. There is a cursed sword hanging over my head. Life and death are both fate! But I believe everyone can come back alive!”
This is not because I am arrogant. I used to know that I was afraid of death, but now the more things I experience, the more I feel that I am destined to die.
Yin Ling'er didn't think so much, but replied: "Anyway, the master has entrusted me to you, so of course I will follow you."
The three of us all looked at Ge Weihan. Ge Weihan picked up his backpack and said, "This is the place I have dreamed of coming to. With you by my side this time, it will be hard to make my dream come true. I will not give up."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. After taking a short rest and adding some water and food, we walked towards the fog and entered the Ecstasy for the first time!
After walking along the stream and entering this dense foggy forest, we found that the fog here was completely different from the thousand-year fog.
In the thousand-year fog, you can't even see your own fingers, let alone your feet.
But the fog here is lingering on the trees, like white snakes that have practiced for thousands of years, sitting high up and spitting out mist.
We could see overgrown weeds at our feet, and primitive shrubs and wild forests all around. The environment here was dark, with chaotic trees and criss-crossed lakes, making it difficult to discern the direction.
We wanted to walk forward along the stream, but the stream here sometimes broke and sometimes gathered into depressions, making it difficult to advance or retreat.
The most experienced people in the team are Lao Jiang and Ge Weihan. Lao Jiang is on the left, fighting through obstacles, and Ge Weihan is on the right, guiding the team!
I don’t know how long I have been walking with them. I only know that the soles of my feet are numb and the flesh of my feet is stiff. Lao Jiang and Ge Weihan stand in front of them, like walking zombies who have lost their souls. They don’t know where to go?
It seems to be just like the legend, once outsiders step into the Lost Soul, they will be okay at first, but soon they will lose their due judgment and reason, lose their direction, and be trapped in the Lost Soul.
Therefore, Mihundang is also called: Huangquan Road!
The horrifying folk song rang in my ears again: "Ecstasy is a wonder among wonders. Once you get inside, life will not be easy."
I don’t know what Yin Ling’er thought, but she suddenly pulled my sleeve and asked me in a low voice why Uncle Jiang didn’t move?
I bravely came to Lao Jiang, and saw that he was looking at the endless dense jungle, and he no longer knew where he was going.
In fact, after entering this time, Lao Jiang not only didn't have a playful smile the whole time, but also said very few words. He seemed to be focusing on finding the way.
Even after taking a few steps, he would pull out his black knife and carefully carve marks on the tree.
Yin Linger asked Lao Jiang with a smile before, is this the case?
Lao Jiang's tone was full of seriousness, and he replied: "This is to prevent ghosts from covering their eyes. Otherwise, if we stand still in such a large forest, we will be eaten alive sooner or later."
Even Ge Weihan looked cautious.
The P18 submachine gun that was originally placed in the bag was carried behind his back without knowing when.
I know, this bearded guy is getting serious!
The high altitudes and distances here in Mihundang were covered by thick fog. We couldn't see even twenty or thirty meters away.
Except for things at close range, everything else is a vast expanse of white.
When I was on the cliff, I saw a few ancient trees popping up and thought this was a primeval forest. But when I first entered, I discovered that although it has many characteristics of a forest, it is more like a huge swamp than a forest!
There are many mud pits hidden in front, back, left and right. The mud pits are bottomless. Once you step into them, you will sink deeper and deeper until you are completely swallowed up.
Yin Ling'er carried a very heavy bamboo basket and fell into the mud several times. Fortunately, I caught it with my quick eyesight and quick hands!
Her white ankles were stained with mud, and she was so angry that she swung it several times, but couldn't get rid of it. She couldn't help but get so angry that she kept cursing about bad luck.
I could only use branches to scrape the mud off her feet.
Unexpectedly, this little girl was so pushy that she actually asked me to carry her on my back.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are already overweight, okay? When the time comes, we will fall into the swamp with your friends, including one person and a basket. I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to breathe, and we will be the first to be hit by the swamp. Swallowed. This number of casualties will definitely become a highlight in the history of Qilin..."
Maybe Qilin will accept new disciples every year and will use us as negative teaching materials!
