The old man still stayed where he was, but the insects didn't even touch him. They all avoided him and rushed towards us. The 'chacha-cha' sound just now was actually made by these insects.
I was in a daze for just a second, and then I shouted, "It's a strange insect, run away."
Shunzi and Changshan also saw it. The three of us turned around and ran towards the jungle again. There were more and more of these strange red insects. The three of us ran left and right and almost got killed by these monsters several times.
A swarm of insects besieged him, and he finally managed to rush into the jungle.
But as soon as we rushed into the jungle, those strange insects seemed to stop chasing me. I stopped after running for two steps, "Shunzi, Changshan, don't run away, the insects are gone."
The two of them quickly stopped. In the process of escaping just now, I boldly looked back and suddenly discovered a very critical problem. As soon as we entered the jungle, the group of red strange insects would appear.
No more chasing.
When they arrived at the entrance of the jungle, all these ghosts turned around and crawled back in groups. All bugs that came into contact with the entrance of the jungle immediately returned. Those strange bugs seemed to dare not come in. Could it be that... this jungle
There is some kind of forbidden area inside. Don't these strange insects dare to break in?
"Come on, brothers, let's go back and take a look." I said to them again, I wanted to confirm my thoughts.
"Ah? Are you still going, brother Yi? You are risking your life." Shunzi said with wide eyes.
"For the last time, we don't need to go out of the forest, we just need to stand on the edge of the entrance to the forest." I gasped.
Chang Shan looked at me, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go again."
Shunzi said with an ugly face, "Okay, okay, I'll go too."
The three of us returned to the entrance of the jungle again, and the result was just as I expected, the group of strange insects were still lingering near the shore. When they found the three of us, they rushed over quickly.
"Oh my god." Shunzi turned around and was about to run away when I grabbed him, "Don't move, it's okay."
I was taking a gamble and risking my life. When the group of strange insects crawled over quickly, the veins on my forehead jumped. But after a few seconds, I felt a lot more at ease. They
When I climbed to the entrance of the jungle, I stopped moving forward and just crawled back and forth, left and right.
"It's strange, these insects don't seem to dare come in?" Chang Shan said, looking at the red insects at his feet.
"Well, that's true. I noticed just now that these ghosts seem to be afraid of this place. You see, even though they know that we are right in front of them, they can't do anything to us. They can only crawl around in a hurry."
What is hidden in this jungle? It can make such a ferocious red monster dare not even take a step forward. Is this really related to the curse Chang Shan mentioned?
And that shriveled old man, he made me even more incredible. These man-eating monsters didn't attack him. They just walked around him and went straight to us. This mysterious old man was really scary.
.
"Oh, brother, let's not do this next time. It scared me to death. Fortunately, they don't dare to come in, otherwise we will be dead." Shunzi complained behind me.
I ignored his words, but looked at Chang Shan and asked, "Brother Chang Shan, did you see just now that these strange insects did not attack the person next to the raft, but went directly around him?"
Chang Shan shook his head and said, "Well...I didn't notice it, but the man next to the raft is really weird. Where did he come from? Is there anyone living on this island?"
"How can a desert island be inhabited by people? Last time I and Mr. Mai took a look at the general situation of the surrounding area. This place is completely deserted." I said with a cold face and a low tone.
"Then...how do you explain that person just now?" Chang Shan was also a little confused.
"I also want to know how to explain it, but it's a pity that there is no explanation." My intuition told me that this mysterious island may really be the next stop on the navigation chart, and that wizened old man may be the one who can solve all these mysteries.
The key point is just intuition without any basis.
"Brother Yi, it seems that it is unlikely that we can escape back on the raft." Shunzi said in my ear.
I sighed and said, "Let's go see Lao Mai and the others first, and we can discuss the rest later."
When we turned around and were about to leave, we heard the sound of footsteps in the jungle, "There is someone." Chang Shan said alertly and looked at me.
I waved my hand to signal everyone to spread out and hide in the nearby woods. The three of us hid behind the big trees on both sides. Shunzi was with me. I slowly pulled out the diving knife again.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and there was actually a light. Soon, I saw a wretched-looking man holding a flashlight, looking around like a thief.
I put away the diving knife, walked out quickly and said, "Lao Ba, why are you back?"
This wretched man is none other than Jiao Ba. "Oh, my sworn brother, you scared me. Why did you hide there? I thought you were seeing a ghost." Jiao Ba patted his chest and took a breath.
explain.
"Uncle, what's the matter? I think I scared you. I don't know who it is. Why don't you just hide away? Why did you think of running back?" I looked at him and asked.
"Nonsense, why do you think it is? It's been so long, and you guys haven't come back. Mr. Mai and I don't trust you, so I'll just come back and have a look." Jiao Ba said anxiously.
"It's okay, we are planning to go back, let's go." I patted Jiao Ba's arm.
Jiao Ba suddenly said, "Where are those bugs?"
"It's just outside the jungle, what? You want to go find them to reminisce about old times?" Chang Shan said a very cold joke.
"I don't have the time to spare. Let's go, Brother Mai. Mr. Mai and the others are still waiting for us."
Jiao Ba led the way at the front, and I was at the back. The four of us walked all the way into the jungle. The jungle still gave me a cold and gloomy feeling. After entering it, I felt uncomfortable all over my body.
"Lao Ba, how far is it?" Shunzi asked as he walked. We had already passed the place where we rested before, and were about to reach the road leading to the top of the mountain.
"Come on, they're not far ahead." Jiao Ba said as he walked.
When we were almost walking to the place where we were looking for firewood, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be movement in the woods nearby. It seemed that someone was following us. I quickly stopped and turned around to look around.
It was pitch black all around the jungle, and the moonlight was completely blocked by the big trees. It couldn't shine in at all. I didn't have a flashlight in my hand, so I couldn't see clearly. I stared at a dark corner, and saw the faint light in the trees.
Youyue made a little noise.
At this time, a strong wind blew over and the trees swayed. I shivered unconsciously. It turned out to be the wind. It seemed that I was being suspicious. But when I came to my senses, Jiao Ba and Shun
The three of them had already gone far away.
Oh no, don't leave me alone. I ran two steps quickly, feeling my way forward in the dark. When I came to a fork in the road, I saw their figures, and I felt a lot more at ease.
In this kind of environment, it is really impossible to have no one around me, and I cannot bear the pressure in my heart.
I jogged for two steps and followed. This path was very unfamiliar. It was surrounded by dense trees and vines, and even the wind couldn't blow in.
We were walking uphill this way. Where was Jiaoba taking us? It felt like we were walking farther and farther. When I walked for a while, I suddenly felt something was wrong. This Jiaoba
Why did you turn off the flashlight?
And it was too quiet along the way. Why didn't any of the three of them speak? Even Jiao Ba, who was usually the most eloquent, kept silent. Without the flashlight, I could only vaguely see the backs of the people in front of me.
, this person should be Chang Shan.
I tried to shout forward, "Hey, Laoba, where are we going?"
There was no answer from Jiao Ba, and there was no sound in the jungle except my echo. Even Chang Shan in front of me didn't say a word, and just kept walking forward without even looking back.
I suddenly had a very bad premonition. Everything seemed too weird. The surroundings were so quiet that I couldn't hear anything except footsteps.
By the way, footsteps? As I walked along, I only heard the footsteps of two people, one was my own, and the other was Chang Shan in front of me. But where were Shunzi and Jiao Ba?
"Brother Chang Shan, don't leave. Where are Shunzi and Jiao Ba?" I asked Chang Shan.
"We'll be there soon." Chang Shan spoke very slowly, and his tone suddenly became very deep. No, this was not a deep voice, but a very old voice.
My heart skipped a beat, and I stopped immediately, not daring to follow him any further. As soon as I stopped, the person in front of me also stopped, but he still didn't turn around, just stood there and moved.
Not moving either.
I didn't even dare to blink and stared at Chang Shan in front of me. Chang Shan's voice was very familiar to me. It was a very masculine and manly voice, not at all like a dying tone.
"Brother Changshan." I tried calling him in a low voice again.
But he remained motionless, neither answering my words nor continuing to move forward. He just kept his back to me, which made me feel nervous.
I was not far away from him. When I was about to go over, suddenly, a ray of moonlight passed through the woods and shone directly on him. Only then did I realize that the person in front of me was not Chang Shan at all...
