713 Fear of Death
Zhu Haotian and his team officially entered the strange place called Death Ridge.
It was late at night, and Death Ridge was eerily quiet. Zhu Haotian and the others could only hear the thumping sound of their footsteps on the leaves. They were not walking very fast. Everyone looked around and took their steps cautiously.
They were also worried that the ground beneath their feet would contain unexpected traps, so they were even more careful under such special conditions.
Zhu Haotian and Yingzi were still walking in front. After walking for a while, they stopped again. Ye Jiannan quickly asked in a low voice: "Boss, what's wrong?"
Zhu Haotian found that they had walked more than a hundred meters, and the land under their feet was safe and there were no traps. However, the safer it was, the less secure he felt. He always felt that big problems would occur if this continued.
He looked forward for a while and said, "Jiannan, have you noticed? We have entered Death Ridge for more than a hundred meters and haven't found anything."
Ye Jiannan nodded in agreement and said, "Well, everything is normal."
Zhu Haotian said worriedly: "The more normal we are, the more dangerous we are."
He felt that danger had enveloped their team, but where the danger was, he couldn't really tell for a while. He just felt that there was a dangerous atmosphere suppressing his nerves.
Kikawa Yoshipuri also raised his ears and listened to the movements around him. After listening for a long time, he found nothing unusual. He whispered to Zhu Haotian: "I didn't find anything unusual."
Of course, Yingzai also discovered their anomaly, walked up to him, and asked curiously: "Captain, what's wrong?"
Zhu Haotian turned his head and said calmly to Yingzi: "It's okay."
After hearing this, Yingzi didn't ask any more questions and comforted his brothers behind him.
Ye Jiannan walked up to Zhu Haotian again and asked in a low voice: "Boss, are we still going forward?"
Zhu Haotian was thinking that they had already come in. If they went back, something would be wrong. They might as well insist on going in. Maybe they could gain something.
"Get ready to go! Let everyone be careful and pass it on." Zhu Haotian ordered Ye Jiannan.
"Yes, boss." Ye Jiannan responded respectfully, walked to Yingzai's side, and conveyed what Zhu Haotian just said.
A few minutes later, their team continued to move forward under the leadership of Zhu Haotian. Zhu Haotian and Ye Jiannan were both at the front. Of course, they were also the two most dangerous people. They checked the surrounding ground environment and looked for any danger.
, they stopped moving forward.
Half an hour passed, and they walked a long distance. They were still safe and sound, and nothing unusual was found in the Death Ridge. Zhu Haotian was full of doubts. Could it be that the Death Ridge was in vain? But he thought about it,
Something felt wrong. The previous places would kill people. But when they arrived at Death Ridge, nothing happened to them. He must have felt that it would not be that simple.
When Yingzi saw that the team had stopped again, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"
In order to reassure them, Zhu Haotian said: "Let everyone take a rest. We will start again in ten minutes."
"Okay." Zhu Haotian's words made Yingzi feel relieved. He thought something had happened.
Yingzai conveyed the message, and their team rested where they were. Zhu Haotian, Ye Jiannan, and the others continued to discuss matters about Death Ridge.
"How much time is it now?" Yoshiko Kikawa suddenly asked.
Zhu Haotian looked at the watch on his wrist and said: "Eight fifty-five."
"How long does it take for us to cross this Death Ridge?" Yoshiko Kikawa asked again.
Zhu Haotian said uncertainly: "It will take about five hours before we can reach the foot of Bahai Mountain."
After a short rest, they had to set off again. Everyone in the team drank some water and stood up from where they were. Zhu Haotian conveyed the order to pay attention to safety. He did not want any of them to stay in Death Ridge.
The team continued to move forward. Zhu Haotian and Ye Jiannan were still at the forefront of the team. They warned Mr. Zhou about every plant and tree, and they would stop in time if they discovered anything.
However, they didn't find anything along the way. They thought they would pass through Death Ridge safely, but Zhu Haotian's worries turned out to be true.
About two hours after they walked, something finally happened. It happened so suddenly that Zhu Haotian and the others were caught off guard.
Ying Tsai's brother suddenly fell down, fell to the ground, and struggled wildly. After struggling for a few minutes, his body lost consciousness, foaming at the mouth, and his eyes were wide open. The man died soon after.
Ye Jiannan walked over, checked the man's breathing, stood up, shook his head and responded to Zhu Haotian: "Dead."
This situation happened so suddenly that they had no idea how the man died. In order to find out the reason, Zhu Haotian quickly walked over and inspected the dead man's body.
After checking for more than ten minutes, no injuries were found on the deceased's body, but how did he die?
This scene, seen in everyone's eyes, also made them frightened, and they finally understood the true meaning of Death Ridge. This Death Ridge really kills people invisible.
After Zhu Haotian finished the inspection, Ye Jiannan asked urgently: "Boss, how did he die?"
Zhu Haotian responded: "I checked his body and there were no wounds. I feel he was poisoned."
Hearing the word "poisoned", Ye Jiannan's heart skipped a beat. If this man was poisoned, there was only one possibility, that is, the air in Death Ridge was poisonous. Otherwise, how could he have been poisoned and died? Of course, this was just
A guess from Zhu Haotian.
However, Ye Jiannan also didn't understand something and asked: "Boss, if he died of poisoning, but we also breathed the air here, why are we okay?"
This question also touched his heart. Zhu Haotian still couldn't explain it. He nodded thoughtfully and agreed with Ye Jiannan's statement.
The cause of this man's death became more and more mysterious, and Yingzi's other brothers were also secretly afraid. They felt that this Death Ridge was really a gate of hell and could kill them at any time.
Yoshiko Kikawa was also studying at the side. This matter was so curious. A good person suddenly died suddenly. This was too fast.
She thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Who was walking with him just now?"
Yingzi also asked for help. At this time, a man with dark skin came out and said, "It's me."
Yoshiko Kikawa asked: "Before he died, did you notice any unusual reaction in him?"
The man shook his head blankly and recalled: "He was walking behind me, and he was also the last one. I heard his "Ah!" and fell directly to the ground. He struggled hard on the ground and struggled for a while.
I'm foaming at the mouth."
"No other reaction?" Yoshihiro Mikawa asked again.
The man shook his head: "No."
Yoshiko Kikawa was also curious. This man died just fine. He must have been poisoned. But how did he get poisoned? They really couldn't figure it out.
The more unclear this issue became, the more panicked Yingzi's brothers became, feeling that death was getting closer and closer to them and could kill them at any time.
At this time, Zhu Haotian was unusually calm. He was thinking in his heart that there must be a reason for this man's death. As for the reason, he needed to discover it slowly.
He walked to the man's body, squatted down, and carefully observed every part of the man's body, but still found nothing different. The man's body parts were intact and there were no injuries. How did he die?
This issue is very tangled, but Zhu Haotian and the others must figure it out, otherwise things like this will happen again.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Zhu Haotian and the others still had not come to a conclusion, and everyone was immersed in thinking.
However, time passed by, and they couldn't stay in this ghost place forever. They had to leave Death Ridge as quickly as possible, otherwise something would happen next.
At this time, Yingzai broke their thoughts and suggested helplessly: "Captain, let's find a way to get out of here first! Waiting like this is not an option!"
Zhu Haotian recovered from his thoughts and agreed to Yingzi's suggestion: "Okay, let's set off right away and remind everyone to be careful."
"Yes!" Yingzai responded and conveyed Zhu Haotian's words to the ears of each brother.
Their team began to cross the Death Ridge again, walking slower than before because Zhu Haotian wanted to know what weird place was nearby that led to the death of their brother.
Twenty minutes passed, everything was normal, no one had any trouble, and they felt relieved. However, the good times did not last long. An hour passed, and suddenly a man screamed in the middle of their team, and his body fell directly to the ground, struggling to death.
, not long after, the man foamed at the mouth again and died soon after.
Zhu Haotian and Yingzi witnessed this scene with their own eyes, which was shocking. One can imagine how painful the deceased was before death.
"How...how could this happen?" The brothers nearby began to tremble as they spoke. They always felt that something like this would happen to them soon.
Yingzai also saw it. His legs were a little weak and he walked up to Zhu Haotian and said in horror: "Captain, how could this happen?"
Of course, Zhu Haotian also saw it. This death mountain finally revealed its true nature and started killing people without a shadow, but where was the weapon? Zhu Haotian could not see it.
Ye Jiannan also questioned: "Boss, how could this happen?"
Zhu Haotian walked over to the corpse, squatted in front of the deceased, and carefully inspected it. He found that he was in the same death state as the previous man. There were no injuries to any part of the body, but this man was still dead.
