death

Chapter 290 Major Discovery
We walked through the forest for about ten minutes, and Hu Jiashu suddenly stopped, but there are trees everywhere around here, which tree sent out the distress signal, can he identify it?

While I was thinking about these things, Hu Jiashu took a few steps forward, and then stopped in front of a tree. The tree was not tall, and it seemed a bit dwarf in this forest.

After walking to the tree, Hu Jiashu slowly stretched out his hand, and then stroked it lightly. After a few minutes, Hu Jiashu turned his head and nodded to us.

It seemed that this tree was the one that made the cry for help.

Seeing this, I was a little curious and said: "That tree is almost the shortest here, and it should also be the youngest tree. How could it send the distress signal so far? Besides, I didn't find any danger here. !"

Nangong Yuzhang whispered to me: "Can you tell the age of a tree? Don't forget that the old crow persimmon we saw last time was not very thick, but it was more than 1000 years old. Maybe we The little tree in front of me also has something different."

This is quite possible.

Nangong Xiong continued: "In addition, although there is some relationship between the tree's spiritual consciousness and the age of the tree, it is not an inevitable relationship. Some trees may have some spiritual consciousness even if they are young by chance!"

I nod again.

Just as I was talking to Nangong Yuzhang, Hu Jiashu made a silent gesture to us again, as if we had quarreled with him.

Nangong Xizang and I also hurriedly kept our mouths shut.

Hu Jiashu supported the little tree and nodded as he touched it. Sometimes, he didn't respond for a long time.

After about half an hour, Hu Jiashu said: "Tell me your story slowly, don't worry, I'll listen!"

"Whoosh..."

At this time, there was another gust of wind, and the nearby trees shook a little bit, and the branches and leaves were blown loudly, and I was sweating coldly for Hu Jiashu. Would the sound distract him?
Hu Jiashu still stood there without moving, as if he was not disturbed by the wind.

Hu Jiashu stood there for more than an hour, and I was a little anxious by the side, always thinking about whether I should hurry up. At this time, Nangong Yuzhang seemed to see that I was a little irritable, so he said to me: "If you I'm really idle and bored, just meditating here to adjust my breath, I guess it will take a few hours for Hu Jiashu to finish talking with that tree."

Hearing what Nangong Xiong said, I just sat down on the ground cross-legged, and then began to close my eyes and adjust my breath.

Since then, I have concentrated all my energy on breath adjustment, and the time has passed unknowingly, and I will not feel too tormented.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than five o'clock in Lingcheng, and Hu Jiashu was still standing there touching the tree. If I didn't know that he was communicating with the tree, I would have suspected that he had some weirdness.

Nangong and I did our morning homework nearby. When we finished our morning homework and went to see Hu Jiashu, he took a deep breath and slowly lifted his hand from the tree. move away.

His body shook for a while, as if he was a little weak.

I quickly ran over to help him.

When I supported Hu Jiashu, I found that his hand that had been touching the tree was a little swollen, and there were traces of bleeding in many pores.

Seeing this, I was a little surprised and asked: "What's going on? There will be side effects when you communicate with the tree?"

Hu Jiashu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's not a side effect, it's just that I overused my power a little bit, this tree's spiritual knowledge is still shallow, and it's difficult to communicate with it. Didn't say a few words, but I finally found some useful information!"

Speaking of Hu Jiashu, he diverted the topic from his palm and continued: "The tree told me that a group of human skins has been active in this forest recently. Those human skins picked some trees to cut down, and then transported them to a nearby place as Burn the firewood."

"But the tree doesn't know where it is. It just says it's by the river, and it's not far from here. It asked us for help because it was afraid that it would be cut down, and the reason it asked us for help was because it felt something in us With Dao Qi, we know that we are cultivating Dao."

I asked Hu Jiashu: "And then?"

He shook his head and said: "There is no more, that's all, I talked so much in one night."

Although these materials are a bit sparse, they give us a definite location. The mysterious village is nearby, but the section of the river where we are located is the section we have investigated most carefully, because we are going to pitch our tents here.

So I still have some doubts about what the tree said to Hu Jiashu.

Nangong Xiong was also a little puzzled and said: "My Eye of the Galaxy has looked around carefully, but I didn't find any villages. Also, didn't the tree mean that those human skins would burn the tree? That village It will disappear mysteriously, but the burned tree will not disappear for no reason, but there is no trace of burning anything nearby."

At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "Didn't the tree just say that the human skin would be pulled to the river after the tree was cut? If those trees were cut down not long ago, there should be stumps left, and a tree Go, it will leave traces, as long as we find those traces, we will definitely find them."

When we searched yesterday, we searched for a tree along the riverside. It kept searching for a special smell, and what was left after the tree was cut down was also a common smell. It was impossible for us to detect it with that level of exploration.

So next, I searched for it with my naked eyes in the woods. It was difficult for us to find the tree that was cut down by breath.

After a while, we found the chopped tree stump nearby, as well as traces of the tree being pulled away. Following the traces, we found that the tree was not pulled to the bank of the Longbachwatong River, but pulled Going in the exact opposite direction!

Seeing this, I asked Hu Jiashu, "Did you be deceived by that tree?"

Hu Jiashu shook his head and said: "No, it asked us for help, and there is no reason to lie to us. The most likely thing is that there is a river on the other side of the forest. The tree's spiritual knowledge is still shallow, and it is reasonable to express it unclearly. thing!"

Indeed, it is very likely that Hu Jiashu said that the Longbachwatong River has some diversions along the way in the deep mountains. Although those diversions are small, they can be regarded as part of the Longbachwatong River. Perhaps the person who met The mysterious village is not on the main river, but on an inconspicuous diversion.

Thinking of this, I became excited again.

We walked along the direction where the branches were pulling, and soon came to the other side of the forest. There was indeed a small river here, in fact, it was just a small river ditch, and the river was very slow!

Although we found a small river, we still couldn't see what the village looked like, and judging from the traces of the tree being pulled, it was pulled to the opposite side of the river.

This small river ditch is only one or two meters wide, and we reached the opposite bank in a single jump.

When we got here, we found that there was a looming mist more than 100 meters along the direction of the river. The mist still contained a force. I roughly judged that the power was still a kind of power to hide the enchantment.

After feeling this, the three of us said almost at the same time: "That's it!"

But we didn't approach that side hastily, but asked Nangong Yulin to observe with his Galaxy Eye first.

After about 10 minutes, Nangong Yuzhang said: "The power of that fog is very strong. I looked for a long time and could only roughly see that there was indeed a village in the fog, but I couldn't see the situation in the village at all. not."

At this time, I couldn't help but said: "For so many years, many people have been here to investigate this case, but they didn't find any trace of the village, but we found it after a little twists and turns. Is there something wrong? !?"

Nangong Xiong said: "Those people didn't find out the situation. They were probably the same as us. They just searched on the main river channel of Longbachwatong and didn't notice the diversion, so they didn't find anything. Thousands of miles, that’s probably it.”

Indeed, it is very likely that it is like what Nangong Chou said.

Hu Jiashu also said: "Additionally, many monks have filed cases just for the sake of filing a case. There are many perfunctory elements in it, so it is normal that no clues can be found."

I nodded, no more doubts.

After the three of us discussed it, we decided to approach the village in the mist to investigate the situation in detail.

As we approached slowly, the fog was getting closer and closer to us. When we got closer to the fog, the small village appeared in our sight, exactly the same as the one in the photo, except that the village was empty, except With the exception of heavier Yin Qi, we couldn't find any dirty things.

After using the Eye of the Galaxy to investigate, Nangong Xie also shook his head slightly and said: "There is nothing special, except for the yin energy here!"

Next, we searched carefully for the houses in the whole village. We found some camping equipment in one of the houses, but they were all old and damaged.

After seeing the equipment, I said, "Maybe it's the equipment of the lunatic who left the information!"

As for the lunatic, it has been marked at the end of the material that he later died in a mental hospital.

So we can't find that lunatic to confirm whether the things here are theirs.

We searched through those equipment, but did not find anything of value.

Then we went around the village again, but we didn't find any human skins or bones!
But we found a extinguished fire in the middle of the village!

It's just that there is no copper tripod beside the fire.

Although what we found is not complete, we can basically confirm that this is the mysterious village in the story.

According to the narration in the story, during the day, those human corpses will not appear, and they will appear at night!
So we have to wait here until night, until those human skin corpses and shadow men appear.

If possible, I would also like to see the giant white wolf who rescued the survivor...
