Chapter Sixteen: Seeing Yaomei Mountain for the First Time
"Yao Lao, what is a ghost head?" I asked in shock.
"Could it be a crocodile?" Da Zhuang suddenly realized.
"Impossible, there are no crocodiles in the Qinling Mountains. Moreover, even if it is a crocodile, it cannot leave only a footprint." I immediately denied, but crocodiles are the most suspicious ones that are amphibious and can walk on all fours.
Yao Lao shook his head in confusion for a while: "It's impossible, it hasn't been out for many years, why is it coming out now?"
I wasn't interested in this strange animal, so I hurriedly asked Yao Lao: "If you don't want to go to Yaomei Mountain with us, why don't you just go around there?"
Yao Lao nodded: "Let's go now. Girl, you have to be careful, this ghost loves baby girls the most!"
"Ah!?" Several people couldn't help but exclaimed, Da Zhuang touched his forehead and said speechlessly: "This is still a pervert!"
Long Xiaoxu's face turned red and he looked at me noncommittally. "Don't worry!" Zuo Yan and I said almost at the same time, which immediately made the atmosphere a little awkward.
"Xiaoxu, I won't let anything hurt you!" Zuo Yan glanced at me and then said. I just smiled and nodded to Long Xiaoxu without saying anything else.
Everyone did not dare to stay here longer and hurriedly rushed to camp and leave. But Yao Lao did not lead us further forward, but climbed up the hillside. He climbed up nearly 300 meters before stopping.
After coming down, the five of us stayed on the hillside in the wind and snow for half the night. Fortunately, our father had prepared military coats for us, otherwise the night would have been quite uncomfortable.
The next day, just after dawn, Yao Lao called the four of them and walked towards the river again. Fortunately, it snowed not long ago last night, and the snow on the river was not too thick, so it did not cause much trouble for the five of them to walk.
.
At dawn, I discovered that this seemingly ordinary small lake was actually very deep. The clear lake water did not hide the dark bottom of the lake, making the entire small lake appear pitch black even during the day. Looking along the valley
Go, this body of water that is both a lake and a river is like a black jade belt sandwiched between two mountain peaks, and it looks even more weird against the backdrop of white snow!
"Holy shit, Yao Lao, how deep is this river?" Da Zhuang threw two stones into it and frowned as he listened to the movement of the water.
Yao Lao shook his head: "The bottom line. Let's go quickly."
Several people hurriedly quickened their pace. With Yao Lao's reminder, Long Xiaoxu could only walk as far away from the river as possible. When the five of them were about halfway gone, Yao Lao suddenly gave a sudden pause, and then
Then I heard Da Zhuang shouting: "There is blood ahead!"
Everyone hurried forward and saw that there were large blood stains on the bluestone in front of them. And judging from the blood stains, it was obvious that a fierce fight had taken place. In the withered grass next to the bluestone, there was a small pile of blood stained completely red.
Rags of fabric. Judging from the tatters of the fabric, it seemed like something had eaten it in and then spat it out!
"Stay away!" Yao Lao shouted to several people.
Seeing this large area of blood, several people couldn't help but feel fearful, and hurriedly left the river far away, but it was only four or five meters away. When they saw that there were still one or two hundred meters to go, a lake suddenly appeared in front of them.
Ripples soon spread slowly on the water surface more than 20 meters wide.
Seeing the shocked expressions on several people's faces, Yao Lao said calmly: "Fish."
However, just as he finished speaking, the surface of the lake changed again, and a ripple appeared in front of the place where the ripples had just occurred. Soon, a third and fourth one appeared... The thing under the water was pointing at Wu.
People come here!
Zuo Yan exclaimed: "Run to the mountain quickly!" After saying that, he grabbed Long Xiaoxu and hurriedly ran towards the hillside.
"Holy shit, what is that?" Da Zhuang moved very quickly. He took out his gun in almost the blink of an eye, aimed at the place where the ripples were produced, and fired.
"If you don't run away, you're courting death!" I suddenly pushed Da Zhuang and hurriedly ran towards the mountain.
The two of them had just ran out not far, but suddenly they found that Zuo Yan and the two who were running in front were slowly retreating back. I felt anxious and shouted: "Run quickly, that thing is coming up!"
Just as I was passing by Zuo Yan, I was pulled back by him, and then pointed to the front. I hurriedly looked forward, damn, this is really a disaster. A little over one meter tall walked out of the woods in front of me.
High spotted leopard!
"Yao Lao, are there any leopards here?" I asked in a low voice.
Yao Lao was also confused for a while: "Yes. However, in previous years they would have gone to Lingnan!"
"Shoot!" Da Zhuang always wanted to pull the trigger when he had a gun in his hand.
"No!" Yao Lao immediately denied.
If I hadn't seen Yao Lao shaking his head, I really wouldn't have understood what he meant. This old guy is so unprofessional as a guide. He can't even speak Mandarin.
I originally thought that the two sides would form a confrontation, but unexpectedly, the leopard was quite ferocious and rushed towards everyone! Zuo Yan yelled, picked up the engineering shovel and rushed over. I was afraid that the boy would capsize in the ditch, so I followed him and found out
Saber rushed forward.
The leopard was extremely cunning. As soon as its feet touched the ground, it suddenly turned around, dodged our outflanking, and pounced towards Long Xiaoxu! This move caught both of them by surprise. They never expected that even leopards could tell the difference between men and women.
Strong or weak.
"Beast, where can you run!" Zuo Yan yelled, picked up the engineer shovel and smashed it out. This blow was so powerful that the engineer shovel made a "whoosh!" sound that broke through the air.
"Roar..." Even though the cheetah was extremely agile, it still couldn't avoid Zuo Yan's attack. It staggered and the sharp shovel head left a long gash in its abdomen!
Afraid that it would pounce on Long Xiaoxu again, I hurriedly chased him. However, Zuo Yan's heavy blow obviously angered the leopard. With a loud roar and baring its long pointed teeth, Long Xiaoxu immediately gave up and faced me.
Pounced over!
Just when the two were very close, the leopard suddenly jumped up. Seeing the opportunity, I held the saber in both hands and rolled on the ground. When the leopard appeared above me, I hurriedly swung the saber and slashed towards its abdomen!
With a "stab" sound, the leopard screamed, and its abdomen was immediately opened. In an instant, all the large and small intestines flowed out!
Just as the leopard flew past me, a loud shout came from behind. Zuo Yan flew up and kicked the flying leopard. I had never seen Zuo Yan do anything, and I didn't expect the strength.
It was so big that the few people were still four or five meters away from the river. The leopard was kicked and flew away!
With a sound of "Bang!", the huge leopard hit the water directly! Just when a few people were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a large water pattern suddenly rise on the lake surface, and the cheetah's body fell into the water almost in the blink of an eye.
Gone!
"Hurry up!" When Yao Lao saw that the leopard was caught in the mouth, he hurriedly shouted to several people and immediately ran forward.
Not long after the few people ran out, they saw blood red on the water. A distance of two to three hundred meters was nothing on flat ground, but there was no road at all along the river, so the few people could only step on the uneven ground.
I walked forward with a blue stone, but I couldn't run at all.
Just as they were about to walk across the small lake, Long Xiaoxu suddenly shouted: "Hurry up, it's catching up again!"
I hurriedly looked back and saw a snake-shaped water pattern suddenly appeared on the water behind me, and a long back could be vaguely seen. At first I thought it was a giant python, but then I found that it was slightly smaller.
The back above the water is not the same width from front to back, and it is not a giant snake at all! It is about four or five meters long, and the width of the back at the center is nearly one meter.
The object swam very fast, and the distance between it and the few people was shortened to twenty or thirty meters in almost the blink of an eye. The old man was running a little lost at the moment. After all, this old guy was a herb collector who walked in the mountains all year round.
, on this kind of bluestone road, running as light as a swallow, as fast as an old ape.
"Damn it, we can't keep up with this old guy!" When Da Zhuang saw that something was not going well, he didn't care about the ranger. He picked up the gun and pointed it at the long back.
Suddenly attacked, the huge body of the thing swayed suddenly in the water and let out an extremely deep and thick roar! I only saw a huge black body, but no head. It was a very strange feeling, a bit
Like a cow's body.
"Run!" Long Xiaoxu shouted from the front.
Looking at the quiet water surface at the time of landing, I hurriedly called to Da Zhuang and ran forward. This time, several people finally reached the end of the small lake safely. The huge aquatic creature did not come out again in the end, but just covered the surface of the small lake.
It dyed a large area red. But what followed immediately was the sound of gunshots coming from the two Taibai Mountains in the East and West!
"You're so stupid!" Yao Lao yelled, and immediately said in a hurry: "Invite them!"
"What? Stay far away from Da Zhuang, what are you afraid of what they will do!" Da Zhuang shouted to Yao Lao in an awkward Shaanxi dialect.
"Stop arguing and leave quickly!" I shouted to the two of them.
Yao Lao glanced at the Taibai Mountains on both sides with a gloomy face, snorted coldly, and then walked forward along the valley. Da Zhuang also snorted, touched his nose and said in dissatisfaction: "If I hadn't shot
, maybe that thing has already rushed up!"
However, the boy was soon dumbfounded. After a few gunshots, I don't know how they contacted each other. Then there were several gunshots from the hillside near us, which seemed to be in response to the former.
Yao Lao slashed Da Zhuang's eyes and rushed forward quickly with the four of them. Da Zhuang's expression also changed, but his words were still tough: "What's there to be afraid of? In the worst case, we'll all leave them here!"
"If you really leave them here, before we come out, the entire Qinling Mountains will be surrounded by police!" Zuo Yan said coldly.
It didn't take long for a few people to follow the valley and turn west. As soon as they turned around, they saw a group of peaks in the distance directly in front of the valley. At the farthest end of the group of peaks, there was heavy mist there. I don't know if it was due to the weather.
, it is still like this, the clouds and mist look a little black and lifeless! That is the destination we are going to - Yaomei Mountain!
"Why do I feel like that mountain is wrapped in a mass of black energy!" Da Zhuang took a deep breath and said in disbelief.
