The forest is dense and deep.
The speed of Gu Xingyun changed from slow to fast, and finally from fast to slow again.
In the extremely dense virgin forest, he finally slowly stopped on the spot and looked around with a solemn expression.
Nothing around him seemed to have changed.
The world is quiet.
The grass and trees are quiet.
Gu Xingyun stood under a thick giant tree, frowning and looking around, and did not speak for a long time.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong around him, but he didn't know what was wrong.
The master's will is as firm as iron. The stronger he is, the more he trusts his intuition.
From a spiritual perspective, this is the subconscious mind.
The uneasy intuition comes from the subconscious mind.
In his subjective consciousness, just because he can't find anything wrong doesn't mean that everything is normal here. It can only mean that he hasn't discovered anything that's not normal yet.
What's wrong
Gu Xingyun concentrated his attention and silently observed his surroundings.
The trees stood there quietly. There was no wind or even any sound in the forest. The extreme silence and absolute weirdness made the place feel more and more uneasy.
It was as if nothing around him was alive.
The whole world seemed to be completely dead.
The muscles all over Gu Xingyun's body gradually became tense.
He didn't doubt Jiang Shangyu's sincerity in cooperating with him. At least until now, he had never doubted that Jiang Shangyu wanted to harm him. However, the apparently normal but extremely weird forest around him made the chill in his heart grow stronger and stronger. .
Gu Xingyun didn't know why, but the fear deep in his heart began to spread little by little, making his whole body become a little stiff.
He took out the hand-drawn map again and confirmed the location.
Less than ten kilometers away from the destination.
The direction is accurate.
This means that he did not go the wrong way, so what does this inexplicable feeling in front of him mean
Gu Xingyun stood there and hesitated for about half an hour, then slowly moved forward and continued to move towards the destination step by step.
The forest seems to be changing all the time, and yet it seems to remain the same.
The increasingly quiet atmosphere made Gu Xingyun feel that his breathing and heartbeat were extremely harsh.
It seemed to be getting darker.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Gu Xingyun's forehead and fell to the ground.
Gu Xingyun walked cautiously, subconsciously holding his breath.
The moment I held my breath, most of the harsh sounds seemed to have completely disappeared, and my heartbeat, which kept beating and even became more and more rapid, seemed to turn into deafening thunder in an instant between heaven and earth.
Gu Xingyun's body froze in place.
An unparalleled fear completely swept over his will in an instant.
He finally understood what was wrong.
Quiet.
As we continue to enter the forest along the way, the environment here is getting quieter and quieter.
Several kilometers away, deep in the virgin forest, Gu Xingyun didn't see any birds or animals, he didn't even see a single insect.
This place seems like a real place of death.
There is no breath of life except himself.
The entire forest was extremely quiet, with no living creatures, no wind, and not even the slightest movement of the branches and leaves of the surrounding treetops.
It's like everything is completely frozen here.
It looks like an incredibly dense forest, but it's actually a tomb filled with corpses.
Gu Xingyun stared at the trees in front of him quietly.
All the surrounding trees are extremely thick, but the trunks and leaves all have a touch of black. The straight trees are twisted into exaggerated shapes without any rules. Such obvious changes start from a little twist. , perhaps the trees were in this twisted state from the moment he entered the forest, but the distortion was very slight, and began to amplify little by little after he entered the forest, so that now, if he did not pay careful attention, Gu Xing Yun actually thinks that this extremely exaggerated and weird distortion is normal.
and...
The sunlight disappeared.
Gu Xingyun can be sure that it is daytime now, and the forest may be dense, but no matter what, there should be some subtle light here, but all those lights have disappeared at this time, and there is darkness all around. Nanyun's forest seems to have fallen into an icy cold In winter, extremely cold temperatures continue to pervade the increasingly dense darkness.
Gu Xingyun concentrated on observing all the details around him.
A hand fell on his shoulder without any warning.
It penetrated his domain and squeezed his shoulder very affectionately.
Gu Xingyun, who was completely concentrated, jumped up almost instantly. When he turned his head, the domain was twisted to the limit. The hand was thrown away from his shoulder. From the corner of his eye, Gu Xingyun saw It was a complete arm, spinning in the air, with slightly black blood dripping from the air.
Where did the hand come from.
This is a forest, where did the hands come from
The problem is, there is no one here, so where do you get the hands
Gu Xingyun's heart was beating crazily as he clearly felt his shoulder being pinched. Without any hesitation, he rushed directly towards the direction where his arm landed.
The arm fell into a thick patch of grass.
Gu Xingyun's figure followed closely. He stared at the grass carefully, as if he wanted to seriously study the arm that did not look like a living person.
But the grass was empty.
There was no arm, no blood, only a dead branch that seemed to have been broken for a long time.
Gu Xingyun looked at the grass in front of him and was silent for a long time.
Is it your own eyesight
Or maybe the arm has been taken away
Who is here
Gu Xingyun suddenly glanced around 360 degrees.
In his sight, there were only extremely twisted trees in the dark forest that looked extremely painful and fallen. Those trees were twisted quietly, like pairs of eyes, staring at him with ferocious malice. Every move.
Gu Xingyun swallowed and began to retreat.
That uneasy feeling seemed to have exceeded the limit of his inner endurance.
The destination for him to break through was not far away, but Gu Xingyun did not dare to move forward no matter what.
It's a bit too weird here.
Jiang Shangyu seems to be a bit too evil.
He was going to exit the forest and go to the outside world to have a detailed talk with Jiang Shangyu.
The speed of his retreat began to increase, faster and faster.
Dark, quiet, and the twisted forest recedes.
Gu Xingyun's domain was fully opened and he was flying in the dark forest.
But there is no light ahead.
Everything seems to be getting darker.
Gu Xingyun ran wildly for nearly half an hour before he stopped.
He was sure that half an hour ago, he could see the sun.
But now he was retreating back to his original place, but within half an hour, not only was there no sunlight in front of him, but the surroundings became darker and colder.
The ultimate silence made all his sounds become manic.
His breathing was like a hurricane, and his heartbeat was like thunder. In such a quiet environment, Gu Xingyun could even hear the sound of his own blood flowing in his body.
It was the sound of a tsunami-like wave crashing on the cliff.
His face was pale and he took out the map with slight trembling.
Flames bloomed in his hands, and in the subtle light, he quietly looked at the map in his hands.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this hand-drawn map that looked extremely ancient also had a strange feeling.
The flames were swaying in the darkness. He carefully identified everything around him, and the more he looked at it, the colder he felt inside.
He retreated for nearly half an hour.
But judging from the extremely complicated markings on the map, instead of staying away from the forest, he was heading deeper into the forest. So far, he seemed to be less than one kilometer away from his real destination.
The palms of my hands were sticky, as if they were sweating profusely due to nervousness.
Gu Xingyun held the map in one hand and wiped it casually on his chest with the other hand.
An extremely sad red color appeared on the clothes on his chest, forming a bloody handprint that looked extremely sinister.
Blood
The other hand holding the map was also getting sticky.
Gu Xingyun's heart almost stopped beating.
Slowly, in the darkness, he lowered his head little by little and looked at the map in his hand.
It was getting darker all around.
The surroundings became quieter and quieter.
In the extremely low visibility light, he could only vaguely see what he seemed to be carrying in his hand.
It looks like a map, but it seems much bigger than the map.
The rich smell of blood spread in the darkness.
He could clearly feel the thick liquid flowing down from his hand holding the map.
Gu Xingyun's arms trembled slightly
Shaking, a burst of fire popped up again.
The fire illuminated the darkness, and at that moment, Gu Xingyun saw the map in his hand.
His heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment, and then he threw the map in his hand completely like crazy.
In his hands, the much larger map turned out to be an extremely complete human skin! !
Warm blood flowed from the bottom of the human skin. The human skin was soft all over, but the face part was raised tenaciously, smiling strangely at Gu Xingyun.
"Grass! Grass! Grass!"
Gu Xingyun covered his chest with one hand and opened his eyes as wide as possible.
The thrown human skin fell on the tree.
The tree trunk was instantly stained red with blood. A thin layer of human skin laughed silently and strangely as it moved quickly on the tree trunk. In just one second, Gu Xingyun's eyes flashed. The human skin had appeared hanging upside down. In front of him, its body was hung on the tree trunk closest to Gu Xingyun. On its head and feet, its ferocious face full of blood was smiling at Gu Xingyun's face, while its empty eye sockets were staring at it. Looking at Gu Xingyun's eyes.
The mood seemed to completely collapse at this moment.
Gu Xingyun is a master, an invincible master, and the God of War who protects the country.
He has seen many opponents.
But never seen this.
With his emotions completely broken, he suddenly exploded with all his strength, and the domain moved in all directions. He didn't care, he chose a direction at will and rushed directly.
A wild field swept through the woods.
The woods were quiet and dead.
The darkness retreated crazily.
Gu Xingyun moved forward at full speed.
One minute
Half a minute
Or maybe a few seconds.
A familiar ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Gu Xingyun, who was almost in tears, rushed directly into the sunshine in front of him without any hesitation.
The next second, all the darkness suddenly disappeared.
The forest also appeared behind him.
He rushed out of a dark forest and fell gracelessly onto a relatively flat grassland.
The sun was shining down, but it didn't have any warmth, and it was so pale that it was almost false.
But this is light after all.
Gu Xingyun completely relaxed and stared at the forest behind him.
A dark forest still stared at him silently.
The human skin didn't come out either.
Gu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief, tremblingly took out a cigarette and lit it, taking a long puff to calm the fear in his heart.
He didn't even have time to think about what was going on.
The light around him made him instinctively feel safe.
He just wants to get out of here now.
He didn't even realize how abnormal the biting and almost biting cold wind around him was in the warm spring-like Nanyun winter.
The cigarettes were smoked quickly.
Gu Xingyun stood up and stabilized his mind. He was sincerely afraid of this forest, so he kept his back turned, staring in the direction of the forest, and slowly backed up.
The grass underfoot is getting smoother and smoother, and even mottled ancient ground appears.
Gu Xingyun kept retreating until the back of his head touched something.
Gu Xingyun's scalp felt numb and he turned around suddenly.
In his sight, a lantern that he hit was floating precariously.
What appeared in front of Gu Xingyun was an extremely ancient wooden door.
The lantern was not hung directly above the door, but in the middle.
On the pale white lantern, a big word "Happy" was written in ink as red as blood.
The white lanterns and red characters make people feel uncomfortable no matter how they look at them.
Gu Xingyun carefully stepped back a distance, and then looked around.
There are white lanterns everywhere.
There are red happy words everywhere.
Ancient houses are neatly lined up on the street.
Gu Xingyun seemed to be standing in the middle of the street.
Gu Xingyun's heart began to sink and kept sinking.
His face turned pale and no color could be seen.
The cold wind in the sky and earth seems to be even more severe.
The sun seemed to be gradually dimming.
Gu Xingyun looked at the surrounding environment silently.
Here... is a village.
Exactly.
This is a hand-drawn map, no, it's marked on the human skin...
destination!
