"It's strange. At this time, the swallows that went out to look for food should have returned to their nests after eating. Why are they still staying in the mountains?"
Sun Datou looked up at the flock of swallows in the sky and muttered.
Angwu…
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from deep in the valley.
The sound was very strange, as if coming from underground. It sounded like a cow mooing, or like the dull cry of a toad after the rain.
Then, something changed in the sky. The red flaming clouds that originally appeared after the sun set quickly dimmed and turned into blue-grey.
In the blue-grey clouds, there is a vague luster that flickers on and off, like fireflies on a summer night.
I don’t know why, but the blue-gray clouds slowly lowered their height, as if they were covering the earth.
Strangely enough, after the blue-grey clouds descended, the swallows flying in the sky let out bursts of noisy and excited chirps as if they were possessed, and then flapped their wings and flew into the clouds.
After a while, the flocks of swallows hovering in the sky all got into the blue-gray clouds. They shuttled and chased excitedly inside, as if they were having a party.
Suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the blue-gray clouds in the sky also moved with the wind, slowly drifting away towards the depths of the valley.
The flock of swallows chasing and playing in the clouds also disappeared...
After a while, the blue-grey clouds disappeared under the mountains.
The flocks of swallows flying in the sky outside the valley soon disappeared.
After the swallows and clouds disappeared, the sky became darker and darker, and the valley suddenly became dark, like a dormant monster.
Angwu...angwu...
Suddenly, the strange cry came from the depths of the valley again, breaking the brief silence.
And the sound continued to chirp, from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow again.
Listening to the ups and downs of chirping, everyone could not help but feel an inexplicable sense of excitement...
After about two minutes, the strange screams stopped.
As soon as the shouting stopped, the inexplicable excitement in everyone's hearts also disappeared.
Afterwards, the huge valley fell into a kind of boundless silence, not even the chirping of insects or birds, which gave people a creepy feeling.
Even the few policemen guarding the corpse felt fear.
Hua Canghai suddenly said to Liao Shouchang: "Captain Liao, take your people and evacuate first!"
"What to do with these corpses?"
Liao Shou often asked Hua Canghai Road this way.
"Someone will take care of it!"
Hua Canghai replied like this.
"All right!"
Liao Shouchang didn't ask any more questions. After all, he knew that the other party had an unusual background, so he left the valley with several other police officers.
After Liao Shouchang and several police officers left, Hua Canghai took out a slender red thread from his body and wrapped it around the left middle fingers of the five corpses, forming a circle.
Seeing Hua Canghai's actions, Su Yuan's heart moved.
Because Su Yuan could tell that Hua Canghai used red thread, called "Shou Zhen Silk", which was used to prevent the body of the deceased from being eaten by insects, ants and wild beasts.
After all, this is the wilderness, so it is understandable that Hua Canghai would do this.
After doing this, Hua Canghai clapped his hands, turned around and asked Sun Datou: "Datou, what do you think of the phenomenon that just happened?"
"There must be something weird about the flock of swallows, the clouds, and the cry!"
Sun Datou immediately replied.
"Then do you see what's going on?"
Hua Canghai asked Sun Datou again.
"Uh... not yet."
Sun Datou replied, and then scratched his head with some shame.
"Little brother, can you tell what's going on?"
Hua Canghai looked at Su Yuan next to him again, and then asked him this way.
"I have the same opinion as Uncle Big Tou. The clouds and calls that attract the flocks of swallows must be weird, and these things should not be formed naturally. Instead, they seem to be caused by... something."
Su Yuan expressed his opinion.
"Hmm...that makes sense. These things really don't look like they were formed naturally."
Hua Canghai nodded, and then said: "I still have a question, why are Yan Qun chasing the clouds?"
"If you want to understand this matter, you can only follow the direction of the falling clouds into the depths of the valley and see if you can find the whereabouts of the swallows."
Sun Datou thought for a while and then made this suggestion.
"Well, that's a good idea."
Hua Canghai agreed with Sun Datou's suggestion.
"Uncle Big Tou, are we going to go into the mountains together?"
Lan Qingling suddenly asked Sun Datou this question, and the expression on her face was a little scared.
"No, everyone wait outside, let me go in and check it out first!"
Sun Datou responded like this.
"Uncle Big Tou, are you going in alone?"
Lan Qingling asked Sun Datou again.
"Um…"
Sun Datou nodded and said to Lan Qingling: "Don't forget, I am a professional!"
"The boss is right. He is a professional. Let him go in first to explore the situation."
Hua Canghai also said this, which was equivalent to agreeing to let Sun Datou "take the lead."
No one said much anymore...
So Sun Datou walked toward the depths of the valley alone.
However, Sun Datou had just walked a short distance when suddenly, a gray-white mist rose under his feet.
This gray-white mist seemed to come out of the ground without any warning.
"Huh? It's actually foggy?"
Sun Datou also noticed the sudden gray-white fog. He muttered, then stopped, lowered his head and looked, and then moved forward again.
Strangely enough, as Sun Datou took a step forward, the gray-white mist beneath his feet began to sway slightly, as if it were being stirred by pool water. It quickly climbed up, and soon covered Sun Datou's entire body.
shrouded.
Sun Datou, who was shrouded in fog, stayed in place, motionless, as if he had been cast on a body-fixing technique.
Then, the gray-white mist quickly spread in all directions.
"This fog appears very suddenly, and there is no wind to cause the fog. There must be something strange! Everyone must be careful!"
Hua Canghai suddenly reminded everyone.
Hearing what Hua Canghai said, everyone was shocked and looked wary.
Soon, gray-white mist spread in the valley, and everyone fell into it.
Su Yuan twitched his nose and took a sniff, and found that the mist contained a strange earthy smell.
And after the earthy smell penetrated into his nose, Su Yuan suddenly felt that his limbs had become stiff, and then his consciousness felt an inexplicable looseness, and then his eyes fell into a trance...
