Mystery Leaks

Chapter 534 Savage Mountain 1
"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning fell from the sky, lighting up the night.

At this time, I looked again, and the place where I was standing before was empty, and the person had disappeared.The fishy smell in the air also gradually dissipated, and I couldn't smell it anymore.

"Is it a human or a ghost?" I asked hastily.

Hu Lai pondered for a moment, and said, "Go and have a look."

I nodded, and immediately turned on the flashlight and rushed into the rain curtain. When I looked around, the water flowing on the ground covered my ankles, and no footprints could be seen at all.

Huang Mao took a look, then continued to walk forward, and finally found a clear footprint in a relatively low-lying place.It was raining heavily at the moment, and if it came half a minute later, the footprints would have been washed away.

It's people!

"Since this person is not dead, why does he still stay in Savage Mountain?" I was full of doubts. In terms of time, he had enough time to leave Savage Mountain, if he escaped from Savage Mountain together with the person who wrote the diary.

According to the diary, this person was very mysterious, and the captain of the investigation team kept secret and refused to disclose any information to his subordinates.

What role did he play in the investigation team?
Huang Mao shook his head and remained silent, obviously unable to understand the reason.

After thinking about it, I changed the question again: "Who has a fishy smell, and it's so strong?"

Huang Mao pondered for a while, and said: "It must be someone who often comes into contact with fish, such as fishermen, fishmongers, and those who do fish slaughtering and processing, but the premise is that it must be an individual."

I was slightly startled, Huang Mao was still doubting whether this thing that suddenly happened to us, let's call him a thing, was a human being.

Indeed, having footprints does not mean that you are a person. There are many things that can leave footprints.

"It doesn't matter, find a chance to contact Wang Jian'an, and then ask if there is such a person in the Ancestral Tribunal." Huang Mao said.

I nodded, and we headed back to camp together.

After resting all night, we continued to step on the mud pills the next day. In the evening, the heavy rain that lasted all day and night finally stopped.

Savage Mountain finally appeared in front of my eyes. The altitude here has increased a lot. Although it is still wet, the sweltering heat has gone a lot, and the mountain breeze can feel cool.

In the dense jungle, the slope gradually increased, the drainage was smooth, and there were no endless mud and swamps under the feet, and it was much harder.

Breathing the slightly cool air, I felt that the pores all over my body were opened, which was so comfortable.

These days can be regarded as tortured, stuffy, hot, humid, and there are endless muddy fields, leeches, it can drive people crazy.The next time I come here, I won’t be able to go on foot even if I’m killed, and I’ll have to buy a helicopter to fly over to rob a bank.

Hu Lai had told me more than once that the endless swamps around Savage Mountain were disgusting, but I didn't take it to heart.

I have seen it this time, and there are only two words that can describe it, Nima! !

"Who said this is the gate of hell, I think this is heaven, ah..." Cao Nan opened his arms and roared towards the distant mountain, and the echoes came back, scaring away all the nearby birds and beasts.

Savage Mountain is more than 3000 meters above sea level. It is no longer a low-lying swamp and muddy pond. There are more types of animals and plants, especially large wild animals, which can be seen from time to time.

There are also more birds on the trees. White cranes and egrets are circling on the top of the treetops, appearing and disappearing between the flowing clouds and white mist.

There are also fewer leeches, and they are no longer seen everywhere. Most of them are mountain leeches that suck sap.

Comparing the two, this Savage Mountain is really a paradise, with luxuriant vegetation, luxuriant tree crowns covering the sky and the sun, apes singing, and full of vitality.

"Hush, keep quiet, don't startle something." But Huang Mao's expression changed slightly, and he said hastily.

I don't know why, it's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he said it, I also felt a little uncomfortable, as if a big stone was pressed on my chest, heavy.

Cao Nan was taken aback, covered his mouth quickly, and said, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"I can't say it, but Savage Mountain is definitely not a paradise." Huang Mao said solemnly, and then said: "The legend of the gate of hell is definitely not in vain."

"Something is coming." At this moment, Feng Daniu said hastily.

"where?"

We were all taken aback and asked hurriedly.

After entering the dense forest, Feng Daniu continued to adapt to his own wood attribute energy, and his sense became more and more acute, especially after entering Savage Mountain, he could sense as long as there was something nearby that stirred the branches and vegetation.

Feng Daniu pointed in one direction and said, "Four hooves, it should be a wild beast, coming towards us."

We looked in that direction, and after a while, there was a black thing coming towards us. At first glance, it turned out to be a wild boar, with a big body, a strong mane and a strong mane.

It also saw us, and didn't intend to run away at all. Instead, it growled and made a warning sound.

"This is the Wild Boar King, who is patrolling the territory and regards us as enemies." Xiong Daweng said in a low voice. He has a lot of experience in fighting wild beasts.

I nodded. The wild boar king is very powerful, with very tenacious vitality, rough skin and thick flesh, explosive and endurance. Tigers have to detour when they see it, and dare to compete with wolves for territory.

Naturally, it is impossible for us to retreat. Not only did we not retreat, but all of us had bright eyes. After two or three days of soaking dry food, the smell of birds had already faded from our mouths.

How could it be possible to return the one who sent it for a tooth-beating ceremony?

"Roar!"

Seeing that threats and warnings were useless, the Wild Boar King let out a low growl, raised his hooves, and rushed towards us with red eyes.

……

Half an hour later, it was on our grill, dying.

The sky is gradually getting dark, and tomorrow is the night of the full moon. Lu Ningxiang and I will meet, and they should come to find me. Since this is the case, I don't need to investigate anything, just wait, just take a rest.

The wild boar king is big, with rough skin and thick meat. We roasted it for several hours before it is cooked. This is our ration from tonight to tomorrow night.

Everyone feasted on the wine, the meat, and the food was full of oil, especially Xiong Da. He was so hungry these days that he wanted to eat locusts. He chopped off the pig's head with a knife and bit it with his mouth.

After drinking and eating, less than one-fifth of the wild boar disappeared. It was too big to eat that much.

Huang Mao put a few drops of mermaid oil in the bonfire to ensure that the bonfire will not go out. One drop can burn for several years and decades, and it is the lamp oil of the ever-burning lamp.

Afterwards, we prepared to spend the night, but before we fell asleep, suddenly a mist gushed down from the Savage Mountain, sweeping towards us overwhelmingly.

It was suddenly white, and the visibility did not exceed 20 meters.

"What's the situation?" Cao Nan was taken aback.

"Come together and don't separate, this fog is weird." Huang Mao's expression changed, and he said hastily.

We immediately gathered together, each staring in the same direction back to back, keeping our eyes on our guard, this mist is really not right, it came too fast, like a demon fog.

"Cuckoo... cuckoo... cuckoo..."

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of my heartbeat, which was vague at first, but gradually became clearer and clearer, just like the sound of my own violent heartbeat when I was in great danger.

Devil's heartbeat!
I have a chill down my spine, this is recorded in the diary, that person has been here.

"Heartbeat?!" Cao Nan was also surprised.

"It came from the very center of Savage Mountain." Feng Daniu said.

"Shh!"

At this time, Huang Mao hastily made a silent gesture to us, and then pointed to the barbecue grill.

When we saw it, our eyes widened.

Suddenly, the roasted corpse of the wild boar king was emitting a bright white mist, which was slow but continuous, and was clearly different from the surrounding mist.

Immediately afterwards, the mist became more and more solid, and the figure of the wild boar king gradually appeared. Its head disappeared, and a lot of meat on its body disappeared. It was exactly the same as the wild boar king on the barbecue grill, and its color gradually turned black. .

At first glance, it seems that there are two identical wild boar kings that have been grilled.

The next moment, something astonishing happened. The manifested Wild Boar King actually moved, and ran towards the wind direction of the main peak of Savage Mountain, and disappeared after a few strokes, with a unique smell of barbecue.

The few of us looked at each other and uttered two words at the same time: soul ghost.

This is what I saw with my own eyes, how the dead body of Savage Mountain turned into a soul ghost.
