The south and west sides of Jiuling Mountain belong to the "yang" side. Different from the cold and dry climate in the east and north, the temperature in the south is higher. It was unbearably stuffy.
Chen Xian and his party walked into the jungle along the path beside the locust tree. Because the trees on the way were too dense, even the sky inevitably darkened, and the surrounding light became extremely dim. It had been raining, so the ground was full of weeds and mud that stuck to shoes.
As the leader of the team, Chen Xian took Mu He and Mr. Skull to the front of the team, Sun Zhihai and the others followed in the middle of the team, with Xu Yanan and Lu Yisheng at the rear.
From the moment he stepped into this forest, Chen Xian felt very strange about this forest from beginning to end. Even if he didn't notice any "abnormalities", the yin and yang particles in the air remained in the most normal state... He still felt that Feedback here is uncomfortable.
This discomfort has nothing to do with the temperature or the disgusting slime.
If he really wanted to describe it in words... He felt that there were many invisible things in the woods, silently watching the group of uninvited guests who stepped into the woods.
"This place looks so weird, it feels like it's getting dark when they go in!"
"Is there any danger nearby? Is there any abnormal life lurking?"
"Look at what they said before... This should be the lair of the abnormal life... Can these few people handle it... Are the reinforcements from the Bureau of Secrets coming soon?"
The audience in the live broadcast room fell into a heavy atmosphere, as if they were watching a real horror movie. Everyone felt inexplicably heavy and a little uncontrollable nervous, even if they didn't come to the scene in person. You can feel the weirdness on Jiuling Mountain from the screen.
The team entering the mountain was very quiet, and no one spoke from the beginning to the end.
Perhaps it was because of the silence of the crowd that the atmosphere was unprecedentedly oppressive.
For a while, in the woods, there was only the sound of shoe soles and mud sticking and tearing apart, and even the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains disappeared unknowingly, as if there was a force called "dead silence" covering the mountain area. The quiet atmosphere made people inexplicably uneasy.
This oppressive atmosphere lasted for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Chen Xian, who was walking in the front, stopped without warning. He seemed to have discovered something, and the expression on his face became more vigilant.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the people in front of him had stopped, Lu Yisheng also stopped quickly, poked his head to the side, and asked in a very nervous tone, "Boss! Is there something wrong ahead?"
Xu Yanan's psychological quality is much stronger than Lu Yisheng's, so at this time her expression is only a little wary, not as scared as Lu Yisheng's. Seeing the leader Chen Xian stop, she is not in a hurry to wonder what is going on ahead What, but scanning the surroundings vigilantly with the magic weapon, especially the mountain road behind him.
"The road is bad."
Chen Xian's voice sounded faintly, and anyone could hear the doubt in his tone.
"The road is bad?" Lu Yisheng was taken aback, "Isn't this road already bad?"
"It's not washed away by the rain, it looks like... it's rotten." Chen Xian replied in a low voice.
At this time, Sun Zhihai and others who were following behind Chen Xian also stepped forward, and the photographer instinctively raised his camera and began to take close-ups of the mountain road ahead.
As Chen Xian said, the mountain road in front of him is indeed rotten.
This jungle is like a heavily corrupted dead body. The ground is a strange waxy yellow color. There are many large and small cracks everywhere. From time to time, some dark green liquid of unknown origin can be seen, like pus oozing from a corpse. , exuding a vague... rotting corpse smell.
Contrary to this disgusting abnormality, the plants growing in this area are extremely lush, much taller than the normal plants I saw before, and weeds that were only tens of centimeters long can grow here It was half a meter high, and Chen Xian was very surprised by the surging and unspeakable vitality.
"Strange place..." the skeleton suddenly said, without any hesitation about the disgusting liquid, squatted down and stroked the ground with his bloody palms, "this should be a place where death spreads... I smell the smell of death... but these An unspeakable vitality appeared..."
Chen Xian silently glanced at the deep jungle path ahead, and said to the people behind him without looking back.
"Strengthen your guard and move on."
Walking on this disgusting mountain road, not only those who followed Chen Xian were tortured, even the audience who watched the live broadcast shouted that they couldn't bear to look directly at them, letting them walk in this kind of place would be worse than letting them die.
Time always flies by at such a time, unconsciously, Chen Xian and his team have been walking in the mountains for nearly forty minutes, until Sun Zhihai and his team were vomited out of nausea for the sixth time, the team finally reached the jungle the end.
The information given by Fatty Huo is not wrong. It seems that the hidden part of Wei Ran's memory... is indeed real and not fictional.
At the end of the jungle path is a green meadow.
The area of the lawn is extremely vast, the size of two or three football fields. Apart from green weeds, there are no other plants on the ground... Of course, seriously, there is another plant, but it is not a plant in Chen Xian's eyes. , but something unknown.
It was a "dead tree" with a strange shape.
As Fatty Huo described before, this dead tree is extremely huge, it seems to be as high as a seven or eight-story building, the huge gray-white tree crown even blocks out the sky, and the shape of those withered branches is even more weird, not at all "" As simple as "No matter how you look at it, those branches are human arms.
Each palm is so thin and slender, and the fingers are interlocked together. Even though no leaf-like tissue grows on the surface of them, it still looks... the crown of the tree is still horribly dense, as if it is composed of countless arms Chen Xian could smell the strange smell from them nearly a hundred meters away.
Smells like dirt after rain.
There was the bloody smell of meat.
And some weird... vegetal aromas.
"What is that?!" Hiding behind Chen Xian, Sun Zhihai couldn't help exclaiming, looking at the giant tree with fear in his eyes, "Are those branches human limbs?"
"do not know."
Chen Xian replied softly, his nerves tensed instantly, he firmly held the meat saw in his hand, and looked at the huge dead tree as if facing a formidable enemy.
Perhaps infected by Chen Xian's emotions, the black light parasite lurking in his body also became active, continuously turning into liquid metal and seeping out from the pores, covering and wrapping his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What is different from the past is that this time the priority area covered by the parasite is Chen Xian's right hand, which is the joint between his palm and the meat saw knife. Under the covering of liquid metal, the handle of the knife instantly fits into Chen Xian's right hand Two become one, as if it was born on his arm, some kind of extension of his limbs.
At this moment, Chen Xian's gaze had moved away from the dead tree, and he looked at the villa on the other side of the grass from afar.
Different from Wei's villa, the shape and construction technology of that villa are more ancient, like a product left over from the UK in the last century. The whole is constructed of concrete blocks. The architectural lines are simple but full of unique beauty. The main color of the roof is dark brown, perhaps because no one has taken care of it all year round. At a glance, the roof is covered with endless moss.
That villa has only two floors, and the area is not too big. Compared with Wei's villa, it may only be one-tenth of its size.
"Boss, is the body of that abnormal life hidden inside?" Lu Yisheng leaned over at this moment, pinching his wooden magic weapon with both hands, with a nervous expression on his face, "Let's go and have a look now?"
"I'm going to explore the road first, you stay where you are and don't move around, you come back when I'm sure there's no danger." Chen Xian said calmly, his eyes without any emotional fluctuations were fixed on the villa from beginning to end, as if observing What, there is a rare seriousness in his eyes, "You pay attention to vigilance, if there are other abnormal beings... If you can beat them, they will beat them, if they can't beat them, they will take them away, understand?"
"Understood." Lu Yisheng nodded.
At this moment, just as Chen Xian was about to walk towards the villa, a strange strong wind suddenly blew up on Jiuling Mountain. Although Chen Xian had never been to a coastal city after the incident, this gust of wind made him feel kind The feeling of going to the beach.
The biting cold wind whizzed crazily like an invisible giant beast. In this strong wind, people could hardly stand still, let alone the tree.
As the strong wind roared, the branches that resembled human limbs shook, and the crowd heard a horrifying scream, but because the wind was too loud at the moment, they couldn't determine those screams for a while. Was it the sound of the wind or something else.
Gradually, the wind stopped, but the screams did not disappear but intensified.
The screams came from the direction of the dead trees. Even though the strong wind had stopped at this time, those withered and gray branches were still shaking wildly, and they continued to emit thousands of screams and howls.
Between the swaying branches, Chen Xian vaguely saw a humanoid creature falling from the canopy.
"Stay where you are, I'll go and have a look."
