Chapter 171 Looking for someone (1)
But this is a bit unexplainable. With my sensitivity to yin energy, plus a Luo Tieshan who is more sensitive than me, if there is anything unclean around us, we will never be unaware of it. However, from the time I set up the tent until I fell asleep, I did not find any abnormalities around me.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a little strange, so I walked out of the tent and wanted to ask Luo Tieshan who was vigilant if he had noticed anything. However, when I came outside the tent, the scene I saw shocked me. The two tents that were originally laid on both sides were gone, and together with Qian Chuanzi in the tent, Luo Tieshan and Yun Luoxue disappeared, leaving only my tent standing there alone.
I rubbed my eyes hard, then looked left and right again, and saw the empty ground, and looked around again. I saw the gravel, weeds beside me, the woods not far away, and the bonfire we lit, and even the remaining bones were still scattered on the ground. Yes, this is where we slept last night.
I walked a few steps toward me, bent down and looked at the ground carefully. This was originally the place where Qian Chuanzi set up a tent, but now not only are the tents and people gone, but even the traces of the tents have disappeared. You must know that our tents are fixed to the ground with eight long iron drills. If you want to put away the tent, you have to pull out all the iron drills first. However, the ground is very flat now, and there is no trace of the iron drills being inserted.
This scene was so weird. Cold sweat instantly covered my forehead, and then it flowed down my cheeks. The clothes on my back were soaked. I pulled out the Fiery Sun Knife.
"Qian Chuanzi! Luo Tieshan! Yun Luoxue! Where are you?" I shouted with all my strength, and the shouts echoed in the quiet night sky. Even the birds in the woods were shocked by me, but I didn't hear the answers from Qian Chuanzi and the others.
Holding the knife in my hand, I felt a little more at ease. While being careful, I was thinking about what kind of situation would happen. The sneak attacks of bandits and beasts were first ruled out. If it were these two things, it would be impossible to just attack Qian Chuanzi and Luo Tieshan's tents. Just let me go in the middle, let alone Luo Tieshan be vigilant.
With Luo Tieshan's ability, dealing with bandits and wild beasts is simply a shame. Not to mention fighting, as long as he stands casually with his head in the middle of the night, he will be considered brave enough to not be scared to death.
If it was done by a ghost, it would be impossible to explain why he just captured Qian Chuanzi and Luo Tieshan, but kept me. And how powerful is the evil spirit that could take Luo Tieshan away silently? If such a thing really came, how could I feel that there was no such thing? Even if it was done by a ghost, what would he do in a tent?
These questions are really unexplainable, and now is not the time to think about it. The most important thing is to find Qian Chuanzi and the others. I searched carefully around the tent, but I found no clues. I had no choice but to expand the search range.
With the bright moonlight, I looked blankly at the endless wilderness and the mountains in the distance, and really didn't know which direction to search. Suddenly, I felt something was wrong in my mind. I looked around vigilantly, but I didn't see any abnormalities.
Wait! I suddenly understood what was wrong, the mountain! It was the mountain in the distance. During the day, we walked in the wilderness for most of the day, but we didn't see the mountain at all. After waking up after sleeping, there was a mountain in the distance. In an instant, I understood which direction I should go.
The suddenly appeared mountain is quite far away from me. Although I ran with all my might, I still ran for more than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. The running all the way made me feel a little tired. I knew very well that I shouldn't be so rushing. After all, I was not going for an outing. There would definitely be danger waiting for me on the mountain. The wisest way at this time is to maintain the best condition to deal with it. But I don't know what the situation is now, so I can only try my best to win time. Perhaps one minute earlier will give them more chances to survive.
When I looked from a distance, I felt that the mountain was not very high, but when I stood at the foot of the mountain, I looked up and found that the mountain was really high. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was towering into the clouds. The top of the mountain was hidden in the clouds, so I didn’t know how high this mountain was.
I looked up carefully for a while, on the one hand, to observe the situation on the mountain, and on the other hand, I also took this break and tried to adjust my condition to meet the upcoming danger.
After seeing it, I didn’t find anyone on the mountain. The whole mountain was covered with dark rocks, not even grass, and the mountain was also very steep.
I don’t know if Qian Chuanzi and the others are on this mountain. The only thing they can do now is to climb the mountain as soon as possible. However, I still underestimated the difficulty of climbing. Not only because the mountain is steep, but also because the dew in the middle of the night makes the surface of the rocks extremely slippery. Moreover, I cannot concentrate on climbing the mountain. I also need to pay some attention to observing the surrounding situation to deal with the dangers that may occur at any time.
Under such circumstances, my speed naturally couldn't get faster, and the mountain was too high. I had just passed the hillside when it was dawn.
By this time I had calmed down my impatience. If Qian Chuanzi and their lives were in danger, the bodies would probably be cold now. All I could do was avenge them.
Continue to climb up the hillside, the more you go up the mountain, the more steep it becomes. I have to use my hands and feet to move forward, and the speed is slower. I didn't climb under the clouds until noon.
The scene in front of me was so amazing. Looking down at the mountain, I could see the endless wilderness. The sparse forests in the wilderness became extremely small. The trees looked like grass, and the clouds above my head were within reach, like countless white marshmallows covering the vast sky, dividing the vast sky into two, and at the same time, it also covered the scene on the top of the mountain. This scene even gave me an illusion that I could reach heaven by just passing through the clouds.
I stood under the clouds and rested for a while, trying to adjust my state, because I knew that even if there was really another world above the clouds, it would definitely not be a paradise, but it might be hell, perhaps even more terrifying than hell, but I had to go and try it out no matter what.
After more than ten minutes, I started climbing up again. After a few steps, my whole body fell into thick clouds. The visibility around me was almost zero. I couldn't see anything except the white clouds in front of me.
At this time, my eyes basically lost their function. I could only rely on my hands and feet to climb up. Every time I go further, I have to explore for a while to find a suitable place to settle. Moreover, the mountain covered by clouds is more slippery and steep than below. My body is almost vertically pressed against the mountain. I stepped on the slightly raised rocks, and in some places it is even just small cracks of rocks.
Moreover, countless small droplets of water are condensed on the surface of these places where they are settled. Whether they are grasped or stepped on, they need to be extra careful. If they are not careful, they will slip. Although I can't see the scene below, I know what the consequences will be if I fall down. It's not just a simple matter of falling to death. I will be broken, but it's still broken completely.
During the fall, my body will collide, rub and tear countless times with the rocks. Under these physical effects, the bones and flesh on my body will become meat-filled and scattered on the hillside below. If Bai Wuchang wants me to resurrect, he may have to bring a broom and a shovel and sweep the hillside below me carefully.
I don’t know how thick the clouds are, and I don’t know how far away from the top of the mountain. The only thing I know is to climb up with all my strength.
It was quiet around, and there was no sound. It seemed that I was the only one left between the world, and even the time was still. I didn’t know how long I had climbed or how many distances I had climbed. Anyway, I had climbed for a long time, so the distance should not be short.
The arms and legs have long lost consciousness due to excessive force. Now they are just relying on their survival instinct. I guess they can't hold on for long, and maybe they will have to take another trip to the underworld.
I was a little curious. When my body turned into a pile of minced meat, what would the soul look like? Is it also a human form made of minced meat? Such a shape should be very popular with the vicious dogs? After all, it is more convenient to bite, and maybe they don't need to bite them at all. I can grab it directly from where they look. This scene seems quite funny, and I can't help but want to laugh.
Fortunately, my imagination did not become reality. After climbing up a few more steps, my vision suddenly opened without warning. I realized that my head had already poked out the clouds. I looked around and saw the thick clouds that were endless, and my body was still inside the clouds. It felt like I was swimming in the sea, but the sea was white.
Looking up, I finally saw the top of the mountain, just a hundred or ten meters above my head. What made me even more pleased was that the terrain was very smooth. As long as I climbed a few more steps up, I could step on the gentle slope and then walk up effortlessly.
I had even thought about my own way of death just now, but in a blink of an eye, I didn't have to die anymore. I immediately felt that I had a little more strength on my body. I climbed out of the clouds in a few strokes. After a minute, I was already lying on the gentle slope of the top of the mountain. I felt like my whole body was limp and I had no strength at all.
