"Luo, look, there seems to be someone over there." Mio lowered his voice and pointed more than 500 meters ahead, where there was a swaying firelight, as if someone was walking around the fire.
It was too quiet in the mountains. Birds and beasts only made noise occasionally. The cuckoo called softly and could be heard far away. Luo and Mio crouched in the grass and carefully observed the people nearby to see if there was anyone else.
The dark whistle exists. However, the sky is very dark today, and it seems as if it is going to rain, but it has not rained for a long time.
After observing for a long time, Luo said: "Miao, go back and tell the deputy commander what's going on here. This should be the hiding place of the hunting thieves."
Mio is a dark-skinned little man. He was originally a farmer in the countryside. Later, he was unwilling to live a dull life on the farm and became a mercenary. After joining the bloody mercenary group, he only did some odd jobs in the group at first. Later, when he met Big Brother, he
He easily received the medal of a high-level knight, and was valued and admired by the team. He gradually became Luo's follower. They would also practice martial arts together and compete with each other, which made Miao admire Luo even more, even though he was better than Luo.
One year older.
He patted the cool head of Lin Jianquan Meerkat, whom he was guarding and had been watching out for, and said, "Let's go." He turned back to Luo and said, "Luo, be careful."
Luo didn't look back and said, "I'm going to investigate the situation."
"ah!?"
Luo also gained confidence and walked away briskly from the bushes. He walked along the slope at the foot of the mountain, using the cover of the trees to get closer, with the dark magic infant gun slung behind him. Although he was wearing silver armor, this suit
He has worn the armor very well and knows how to move it to make as little noise as possible.
Three green-feathered birds flew overhead in a row. Luo paused for a moment, looked up at the sky, and waited until the birds were gone before continuing on. This green-feathered poacher is a primitive species common in the local area.
Birds and beasts have quite vicious temperaments, and frightening them will easily lead to their attacks.
It didn't take long for Luo to move near the fire. He hid behind a stone and looked over, and saw three people roasting something around the fire. But the light was too dark, like in the dark, and he couldn't see anything farther away. He lowered his head and wanted to
Don't continue walking forward, he was suddenly startled by the big stone in front of him, and almost made a noise. He suppressed the fright in his heart, leaned over and took a closer look, and found that the stone half buried in the soil was a stone.
It is a human-faced statue the size of a round table. The stone statue is old and simple. The cracks on the stone statue are filled with dirt. Many places are covered with thin moss. Half of the top of the head is still entangled with tree roots.
He saw that the three-person figure next to the fire seemed to be carrying a wind-bone wolf, so he quietly reached behind the big tree and took out a green perfume bottle and a box of algae-brown ointment from a pocket on the belt buckle.
Mud. The main raw material of this mud is a mixture of moss and algae, which is used to enhance the smell of "plant soil" on the body. The perfume is also extracted from plant leaves, which is used to cover up the smell of sweat on the body.
Fenggulang's sense of smell is very sensitive. Applying these can greatly reduce the possibility of being discovered. At this time, he saw a grass vine slowly sliding down from the tree and approaching him. He quickly sprayed the grass vine with perfume.
.
This kind of castor claw vine is common in the forests south of the temperate zone. Luo has also seen it in the Warcraft Forest. They can sense the breath of animals to hunt. The small spines on the castor balls on their bodies can produce paralyzing toxins and knock down their prey.
Finally, their leaf sacs can spit out stamen-like thin vines to grab the prey like claws. Its vines are hollow tubes that can accurately penetrate into the prey's flowing blood vessels to suck the prey's blood. And the prey finally
It will be sucked dry painlessly and unconsciously.
The castor claw vine lost the aura of prey. After hanging on the branch and hovering for a while, it slowly rolled back to the branch and went to other places.
Luo lowered his body and walked through the dense forest. He went around the fire and went deeper. Soon another larger stone statue with a human face appeared in sight. This human-faced statue was not carved from a single piece of stone.
Except for the face in the middle, which is a whole big stone, other parts are piled with square bricks of normal size, including the crown worn on the head of the stone statue and the part buried in the soil below the neck, all of which are square bricks of the same size.
The road is made of bricks, including the ground, which is paved with ancient bricks and stones. Obviously, there is a past story buried in this mountain, but no one has dug out the truth of this story yet.
Luo vaguely heard the sound of water. It was not loud, and it was a very quiet water surface. As he continued to move forward, he found that the ground was gradually buried in water, and several stilt houses made of logs suddenly appeared above the water.
.
There are not only stilt houses but also tree houses. Some houses have lights on and are dimly lit, obviously inhabited by people. Luo secretly rejoiced: "They actually live in this ghost place. This place is really good." Places with water represent places.
There is a certain amount of food supplement, and this place is very hidden. Not only is it far away from the inhabited city, but the key point is that this place is in the middle of a mountain surrounded on three sides. If you don't go in this direction and get closer, you won't be able to see it in other directions.
Flying into the sky, you can only see lush woods, and the historic treehouses are covered by this greenery.
He observed carefully for a while. There were very few houses with lights on within his visual range, and he couldn't hear any movement. The number of trees on the houses here was inconsistent with the expected noise. It seemed that many houses were vacant or people had left.
None of them were there. But he still didn't dare to be careless and wanted to avoid the water and walk up the mountain from the side of the mountain.
Perhaps it is really because there are few people, and there are almost no warnings nearby. Hiding here, at least there should be someone to guard against the intrusion of wild beasts and monsters. Maybe it is too safe for them to stay here for too long, and maybe the monsters come here less often.
Luo walked for a while, not daring to go directly up the mountain. He thought that there might be many traps on the mountain to prevent wild beasts. After thinking about it, he might as well sneak into the water village to take a look. Anyway, there are few people now, so be careful not to be discovered.
There were many ground piles inserted in the water village, and some of the ground piles were covered with wooden boards to form simple wooden bridges. He jumped over from an empty stilt house and landed on a lit stilt house.
On the wooden ladder built below. The stilt houses here are very high from the water, almost three meters. Luo was hanging on the wooden ladder, with his head just under the wooden house. He could vaguely hear the voices of people in the house. He lowered his head.
He took a look and found something swimming in the water, lingering under his feet. He didn't dare to get too close, worried about what protective measures would be in front of the wooden house, so he could only hook the floor in front of the wooden house and raise his body.
He listened carefully for a while. He heard laughter and laughter from time to time in the room. There was more than one person inside. He did not hear a female voice. It was probably a few men playing cards together or something else. But he couldn't hear clearly.
What are they talking about.
Luo swung his arms and landed on the wooden pile in the water in the village. The black shadow in the water immediately swam over. He jumped a few steps briskly, looked left and right at the cabins on both sides, and thought about Asuna.
Will it be here?
A wooden house suddenly opened, and a man came out. Luo quickly hid behind another wooden house, but it still seemed to attract the man's attention.
He said "huh?" and looked towards the place where Luo disappeared. He seemed to have seen a black shadow flash past and heard some noise, but the sky was dark and he couldn't see what it was. He looked
For a long time, perhaps thinking that some monkey or wild beast from the mountains had strayed into the village, he untied his belt and urinated under the water, then returned to the house.
Luo observed behind the wooden house for a while, and then jumped out when he found that there was no movement. He stepped on the air pedal and landed on the wooden pile. The water surface under the wooden pile shook out circles of slight ripples. He stepped on the wooden pile quickly on tiptoes.
The piles passed by, leaving only a small sound, and the sound of the water gradually getting louder in front of him covered up the sound of his footsteps. It wasn't until he ran to the end of the water village that he discovered that there was a staircase in front of him.
Fall.
The gradient of this waterfall seems to be regular. Looking upward, it seems that the drop on each level is the same, about seven meters. From a distance that seems to be the limit, you can vaguely see the contours of more than ten levels. This is obviously very unnatural.
Luo walked forward a few more wooden piles and found that there were some traces of artificial construction on the edge of this waterfall that was only a few meters wide, which meant that the drop of this waterfall was artificially formed.
At this time, the water flow of the waterfall was not large. Luo looked behind him and saw that no one in the village was paying attention, so he climbed up on the air pedal.
The higher he climbed, the smaller the water flow of the waterfall became. Through the thin water curtain, Luo discovered that there were many stone statues behind the waterfall, and these stone statues all had their mouths open, and water flowed continuously from their mouths.
The water was flowing out. Luo raised his head and looked up, but could not see the top of the waterfall. Suddenly, standing on the rocks, he felt a coolness behind his back. He thought it was the water that wet his clothes and the wind blew him cold, but he instinctively turned back
, suddenly saw a black figure emerging from the water, trying to catch him behind him. Luo was startled, jumped away, drew his gun, and slashed diagonally in one go. The current from the tip of the gun flashed a white light in the dark sky.
The black shadow shrank like a ghost, shrank into the water, and disappeared along the waterfall.
Luo's feet fell into the water, and the water was only deeper than his calves. At this time, a beam of light swept towards this side of the mountainside on the left. It seemed that someone had noticed the movement and used light magic to check the situation. Luo jumped out of the water and rushed under the waterfall to hide.
.This thin water curtain was not too thick. He was worried about being discovered, and even thought about what to do if he was discovered. He saw light and shadow shaking outside the water curtain, and could vaguely hear voices, but the sound of the waterfall
It was too loud to hear clearly. But he thought it was not the sound he made that startled the people on the mountain, but the arc that was seen.
On the bank of the waterfall, there was a magician's staff that shone a ball of white light, shining it up and down the waterfall: "What was that just now? Did you see clearly?"
"Is it lightning?"
The three people glanced up and down the bank of the waterfall, but saw nothing. They only saw a few fireflies wandering on the grass by the water.
"It's a firefly, right?"
"The light of fireflies is so bright? It's fleeting."
"Then what do you think it is? Could it be an outside intruder? Since I came to the village, I haven't seen any outsiders coming. At most, it's just the reckless monsters in the mountains that have escaped the traps we set and entered by mistake. There's something above
The big guy is keeping me under control, and any monster with some brains won't dare to come over easily."
The three of them didn't talk much about each other, and since no outsiders had been here, they didn't think about the invasion.
Luo, who was behind the waterfall, poked his head out when he saw the light and shadow outside the water curtain disappearing. He looked back at the row of stone statues with big faces behind the water curtain. It seemed that the stone faces were not floating on the surface of the mountain, otherwise they would have been there long ago.
It was peeled off by the erosion of time and running water. He couldn't help but wonder, what exactly was built in such a big project?
Luo did not go up from the waterfall, but chose to walk to the other side of the waterfall and went up the mountain along the edge of the waterfall. It didn't take long for him to see light on the mountain, and at the same time he found a less obvious path on one side, which should be here
People came out. He climbed up the path carefully. He didn't see anyone patrolling the road along the way. If there were patrols, they were very sparse. He looked at the sky, and because he didn't bring a watch, he could only
Estimating the time, the sky was already dark at this time, and it was probably already night. He wondered if Captain Scar would come over? He probably would.
He took courage and continued to walk up the mountain, but he seemed to have taken the wrong path, getting further and further away from the bright place, and the geographical altitude seemed to have exceeded the previous bright position. He wondered if he should turn back and find his way back.
, finally decided to go forward and see what was going on at the end of the path. At this time, he was dripping wet, his armor became heavy, and it was very cold in the mountains. After walking for a while, he felt like he was going to catch a cold.
His nose felt sore and he was about to sneeze. At this time, he came to a place where the trees were not so dense and the ground was relatively flat, and decided to take a rest.
He checked his surroundings and made sure he was safe. He found a relatively secluded spot behind the trees and prepared to use two pieces of broken fire crystals to stick to the slots in the armor to steam dry his clothes. This would at least make him feel better.
What he ignored was that after being soaked in the water for so long under the waterfall, the smell of algae mud paste and plant repellent water on his body had long been diluted. Just when he thought he was safe, a hunter
The fox dog and its owner quietly appeared in the woods.
"Oops, the clothes are soaked inside." Luo Zhengzhen tried to wring out the water from the clothes under the armor, and suddenly there was a cracking sound in the forest. At the same time as the cracking sound was heard,
To be continued...
