The old wooden plank suspension bridge groaned unbearably as the center of gravity changed.
Yu Xing stepped on the bridge, and his body moved up and down with the suspension bridge. The thick hemp rope on his waist had explosive hair visible to the naked eye. It was black in color and rough to the touch.
As he walked forward, he lowered his head and looked down.
Under this suspension bridge is a valley in Guolongling. In terms of visual effect, it is quite deep and the scenery below is mostly obscured by the tree canopy.
The light at night can't get in, so I can only see with my naked eyes with night vision, and I feel like there are countless ghosts dormant in the valley.
Yu Xing's perception of the trees in the valley was also very stagnant, with more obstacles than elsewhere.
"The acid is not far from the county." Zhao Mou walked to the end of the suspension bridge, while Zhao Yijiu, who could travel in the shadows, was already waiting for them on the other side.
Yu Xing asked casually: "How far is not far?"
Zhao Mou explained: "After all, it is a place whose name has been heard by people in Longtou Town. It is definitely not really isolated from the world. According to my calculation, we can reach it in another half an hour at our wandering speed."
I just don’t know if there will be something blocking the way to slow down their pace after the ghost spirit fills the air.
"Then do you want to speed up?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Go to the county earlier and find clues to the dungeon earlier, right?"
This mountain is so big that if there is anything worth noting, there is not much. Even if you miss clues like the Shadow Puppet Man due to the speed increase, it won't hurt.
He felt that there must be something related to the shadow puppets in the county.
Zhao's strategy and thinking.
Siren, who was not familiar with the capabilities of the Broken Mirror Team, was a little curious: "What? Do you have other means of transportation?"
She paused, and her voice suddenly became tight: "Don't let Zhao Yjiu carry us into the shadows, right?"
Zhao Yijiu, who was quietly listening to the command, raised his head when he heard the words, showing a slightly confused expression.
"Can't?"
In the dark, he can lead people the fastest. Of course, he will not "carry" people away.
"Have you forgotten what you did to me before!" Siren was speechless. "That time in the hospital, you carried me to the top floor where I was mutated by the dusk sun. That time at the bottom of the sea, you carried me under the tentacles of that thing! Even if I don't care,
Even if you die, jump from here! You won’t! Let you carry me again!”
Zhao Yijiu: "...Oh."
Those were all done by him in the ghost state, and he remembered them all, but it was not so easy to think of them when he was normal, and the feeling of separation still existed.
Zhao Mou and Yu Xing listened with great interest. Suddenly, Yu Xing thought of something and couldn't help but remind him: "Hai...Bai Yunmo, I forgot to tell you that after entering the dungeon, we plan to let Brother Jiu's ghost form come out."
Siren: "Huh?"
After everyone had crossed the bridge, Siren looked blank and chased Yu Xing a few steps: "Wait, wait, what did you say?"
Yu Xing smiled and said, "It's just like what you just heard~"
"No, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!" Siren felt like the sky was falling and raised a middle finger tremblingly, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come!"
"That's right, that's why I didn't tell you earlier." Yu Xing looked at her innocently and pressed her middle finger down kindly, speaking very reasonably, "With Zhao Mou and me here this time, I will definitely not let Brother Jiu bully you.
do not worry."
The Siren looked like he had a lot of curse words in his mouth that he didn't say.
Others may not understand.
She really has a psychological shadow on Zhao Yijiao who is in a ghost state!
She has never seen such a scary man! He is obviously a teammate, but this man's attitude is like a slave, he is very rude in his words and deeds, and he does not care at all whether his teammates will die at the hands of ghosts because of his thoughts.
.
It can be said that the last time she "cooperated" with Zhao Yjiu, she was the one who was completely forced. Her survival in the end was all due to the little bit of conscience Zhao Yjiu had left - her existence helped Zhao Yjiu get what he wanted.
Yes, so after Zhao Yijiu pissed off the overwhelmingly powerful ghost, he still remembered to take her with him to escape.
As he thought about it, the siren pursed his lips.
Zhao Yijiu pressed his eyebrows and had no words to defend.
Yes, that's right, he was quite a jerk when he was in the Li Gui state, but maybe it was because the fusion was almost complete, and he didn't feel guilty at all about it.
He put his face on the coffin: "If you want to enter the county quickly, I will take you, no problem. If there are people who don't want to contact me, then..."
The siren's peripheral vision fell on him.
Zhao Yijiu: "Then let her walk over by herself."
???
The siren was shocked: "You! How could you be such a beast under normal circumstances! How would I know where to go without Zhao Mou leading the way!"
Zhao Mou laughed out loud.
This method scared the Siren. After she protested, she could only compromise with a dark face: "Okay, okay, I agree..."
"Don't worry." Yu Xing lazily leaned against a dead tree and asked Zhao Mou: "Is there no key clue in the mountain?"
"I've done divination, but it's not true." Zhao Mou was very sure.
"Then you continue to show the way, and I will lead you." A faint blue flashed across Yu Xing's eyes. He did not make any move, but several people present heard a faint sound of breaking the ground.
The next second, several thick plant tentacles emerged from the ground. The sharp tops were a bit scary. No one knew where the tentacles were connected. Yu Xing could only hear Yu Xing saying: "I can roll you up and move across the terrain at high speed.
As long as there is no such outrageous rift on the side of the suspension bridge, we can get through it."
"Is it okay?"
The pressure of the tentacles was very strong. Zhao Yijiu looked up at the twisted branch, which was taller and stronger than others at the bent front, and touched it with his hands.
Hmm... the touch is almost the same as ordinary tree bark, but there is a deep power hidden inside.
He was a little curious, but since it was rare for Yu to take the initiative to serve as a means of transportation, he naturally would not object.
Zhao Mou also nodded, and the Siren had no reason to object, so the few of them allowed the branches to wrap around their waists.
Then, lift your feet off the ground.
The existence of branches goes against common sense. They travel through the mountains without leaving any trace on the ground where they pass.
Incomprehensible characters kept floating on the strange little plate in Zhao Mou's hand, glowing slightly in the darkness. The characters were reflected in Zhao Mou's pupils, turning into guidance and breaking through the confusion for him.
"There is something blocking the road ahead, but we haven't been found yet, so just go around it, Yu Xing, go east."
They were right in inferring that the closer to Suan County, the more things that shouldn't exist in the mountains.
Fortunately, they are more like unconscious escape products and will only be triggered when encountered.
Yu Xing could also roughly sense their existence, and couldn't help but begin to imagine the situation inside Suyu County.
Based on this, can there be any living people in that county?
Zhao Mou held the plate and said: "Okay, tilt it a little further to the northeast, hiss -"
When no one else was paying attention, he quietly bared his teeth and observed three seconds of silence for his waist, which was hurt by a branch.
Then I couldn't help it.
"Yu Xing, captain, can you be more partial to me, a civilian employee? Do you know that the hard bark on your tentacles is touching my kidneys?!"
Yu Xing was stunned and silently turned the branch over.
He is really a delicate and expensive deputy team member...
The sea monster, which looked delicate but actually had extremely high defense power, lay silently on its tentacles and made a slight mockery.
The whole journey passed in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Soon, Zhao Mou's instructions slowed down.
They stopped in front of a path that was obviously man-made. Looking back along the path, there were few shadows of trees, and they could see uneven bungalows.
Clear candlelight shines through the windows of the bungalow, and floor lamps are placed on both sides of the path. At first glance, it looks like a cluster of fireflies in the dark, which is quite beautiful.
Yu Xing took back the branch and several people stood on the path.
"Are we here?" The siren looked at the cluster in the mountains in the distance in surprise.
It seems that this is not even a village, but more like a tribe.
"We're here." Zhao Mou looked at the time. It was close to seven o'clock, but the sky was as dark as late at night.
There are scattered farmlands on both sides of the path. I don’t know what they are growing. The small carts are just placed on the edge of the fields, full of life.
For some reason, the weird atmosphere that was getting stronger and stronger along the way suddenly broke here and disappeared. The chirping of birds and insects reappeared, and the wind blew over, mixed with some noisy human voices.
Without any delay, they tightened their backpacks and walked toward the light.
