Mei Qian followed his intuition and walked through the abandoned campsite, slowly exploring towards the deepest part of the valley.
He walked very quickly, and soon he came to a jumble of rocks.
Then, he saw the broken mobile phone on the ground.
This is Maomao's mobile phone. When she picked it up and saw the trademark and stickers on it, Mei Qian recognized it at a glance.
It’s confirmed, Maomao’s accident happened here.
But he turned around and looked around, and all he could see were messy stones. No, it should be said that they were statues broken into stones. From a certain part, it clearly had the characteristics of human hooks.
This should be the ruins of some buildings. Probably because it has been so long ago, many traces have disappeared under the wind and sun.
At this time, his heartbeat was even stronger, and even somewhere here, he felt like the hairs on his head were standing on end.
Finally, he set his sights on a rock that was as tall as two people.
Intuition told Mei Qian that it was this stone that made him feel dangerous.
How can an immovable stone hurt someone?
He approached cautiously and determined that the rock was not only unique in shape, somewhat like a rockery in a garden, but its material was also different from the common rocks outside, and seemed to be made of metal.
But he circled the stone several times and confirmed that the source of the crisis was this thing.
Thinking of the missing people, he guessed that there should be something else underneath the stone.
It's just that he tapped almost every place with his fingers, but because of the thickness, he couldn't be sure that it was empty underneath.
With a thought in his heart, he stood on the stone and looked around carefully, but unfortunately found nothing. Moreover, with his ability to crack traps, he did not find any traces of traps or secret doors.
Could it be that the danger intuition is wrong, or that we have to wait until thunder?
Mei Qian looked up at the sky. Although the clouds were thick and dark, he really didn't know when it would thunder and rain.
And such a large rock cannot be moved by his strength.
Just when he was at a loss what to do, a sudden earthquake shook his heart, and he subconsciously jumped forward, even doing two somersaults in the air before returning to the ground.
Just when his front feet left the rock, a bright bolt of lightning struck where he had just landed.
Immediately, deafening thunder echoed through the valley.
Before Mei Qian came to his senses, everything around him had changed drastically in an instant...
------------------
Outside of Shirengou.
"Mei Qian has been here for an hour, right? I don't know if I've found any clues."
Zhang Yu and Ning Chi took out the bread and ate it one bite at a time, but their eyes were always directed towards the valley.
"My elder brother must have discovered something, otherwise he would have come back a long time ago." Ning Chi was very confident in Mei Qian at first, but as time went on, his worries became stronger and stronger.
Li Chen's hands were very dishonest, and he always touched the pistol at his waist intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that only in this way could he ease his nervousness slightly.
Suddenly, several people felt their eyes light up, and a moment later, they heard a dull thunder.
"Thundering?" Zhang Yu stood up suddenly. At this time, he remembered the legend about Shirengou told by the ranger Lao Qian.
But before he could say anything else, he suddenly felt dizzy.
This discomfort came and went quickly. After a brief period of unconsciousness, he regained his consciousness, but his ears felt like ringing in the ears. He vaguely seemed to hear the sound of chanting sutras, and the strange sound entered his ears, making him feel drowsy.
Fortunately, he could still stay awake and quickly turned to look at his other companions.
I saw that Ning Chi seemed to be just like him, his face was a little pale, but he seemed to be quite awake.
Only Li Chen's state was a bit wrong. His eyes were dull and his expression was dull, as if he was stupid. He staggered towards the valley step by step with stiff and awkward movements.
not good!
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly grabbed his apprentice.
But for some reason, Li Chen was so powerful at this moment that he could not move with his current physical strength. Instead, he was grabbed by the collar and pushed forward.
Fortunately, Ning Chi also reacted and rushed forward to respond.
But Li Chen seemed to have been possessed by something evil. Seeing someone blocking him again, he grabbed Ning Chi with his other hand.
Ning Chi moved quickly and easily avoided Li Chen's attack, then took the opportunity to slash the back of the opponent's neck with a hand knife.
At this moment, Zhang Yu also stood up straight, and worked together with Ning Chi to pull the unconscious Li Chen away.
After the three of them had retreated a long distance, they finally felt that the strange noise in their ears was gone, and they couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He glanced at Li Chen who had his eyes closed tightly, thought about it, took out the handcuffs from his body, and cuffed his hands behind his back, then he felt a little more relieved.
At this time, he finally believed what the ranger Lao Qian said. It turned out that when thunder hits, this place can indeed make people lose their minds.
"The Really Evil Sect." Zhang Yu and Ning Chi looked at each other, then turned their eyes towards the valley again, feeling worried...
At the same time, Mei Qian in the valley actually heard strange noises, but unlike others, he did not feel absent-minded and there was no strange noise in his ears.
He was just stunned by the scene in front of him.
A thunderbolt struck in a hurry, just as long as you took a breath.
It stands to reason that it will stop after it appears.
But there was something strange about the big rock in front of him that gave him a sense of crisis.
I saw that the shining electric arc, with a dangerous beauty, spread and beat on the surface of the rock, and soon covered the entire rock from top to bottom.
This magical scene lasted for several breaths, and finally all the electric sparks flowed into the ground like water, giving a sense of instant vision like watching a science fiction movie.
What surprised Mei Qian even more was that when he took his eyes back from the rocks, he realized that everything around him had also changed strangely.
There were many things around him that shouldn't be there.
For example, the original pile of rocks has disappeared and been replaced by two ferocious stone statues.
For example, a group of transparent people, including men and women, old and young, suddenly appeared in ancient costumes.
This group of people stood silently and silently.
Mei Qian's eyes were so good that he could even clearly identify the piety on the faces of this group of people.
A slight, almost whispering sound of chanting reached his ears. He turned around in horror and found that the rock had also changed its appearance.
It was no longer the mottled and jagged appearance he had seen before, but instead had a metallic texture throughout.
A man wearing an animal skull on his head, similar to the costume of an ancient wizard in the movie, was holding a bronze drum and doing various weird-looking and awkward movements facing the big stone.
Mei Qian watched quietly. Judging from the transparency of those figures, everything in front of him, such as the crowd, and the wizard were just illusory projections.
It may be lightning, causing a magnetic field effect.
Probably, countless years ago, a sacrifice took place here, which was recorded on the surrounding rocks.
Just, worship a stone?
Suspicion flashed through his heart, but at this moment, a strong man walked out of the crowd who had been standing silently before, silently walked to a statue, and bent down to operate something.
Immediately afterwards, the rock shook a few times and then retreated silently.
Mei Qian raised his eyebrows, this was weird.
In reality, the rocks are still rocks, but in the fantasy, a dark cave entrance can be seen exposed.
Then, everyone bowed to the ground devoutly.
Mei Qian looked at the statue where the strong man was before, and then looked at the rocks. He couldn't help but let out a breath. He finally knew how to get in...
