The morning breeze stirred up the heavy fog, revealing huge winding mountains.
There are towering ancient trees and gurgling creeks, and it's hard to see a human trace at a glance.
When the sun first hits the mountain top, the evil is stronger than the masculine, and several strange cries are hidden in the mountains and forests.
Under an ancient tree covered with moss, an old man covered in dirt and unkempt hair passed by tremblingly.
He held two eyeballs in his hands, with no expression on his face and no organs.
Like a piece of yellow and old paper, although it has the atmosphere of time, it is full of weirdness and absurdity.
The old man's steps are heavy and slow, and he needs to pause for ten breaths every time he takes a step.
The green leaves of the branches under his feet seemed to have been drained of their essence. With one step, those branches that were allowed to live quickly withered and decayed.
In just a moment, it turned into a foot of black mud.
Looking up, I could vaguely see that the old man had already walked out of a small path.
Among the leaves, the line of black footprints was particularly clear.
"Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga!"
Four strange sounds came from behind the old man.
The back of the old man's mud-covered gown was cracked, and there were crow heads growing inside.
These crows open their throats and call twice from time to time.
The sound was shrill and terrifying.
Its scarlet eyes are a mass of blood-threaded worms that are constantly squirming, forming "balls" that look like eyes.
Under a stone a hundred meters away
A girl in gray robe took a deep breath, her eyes were sharp and cold, and two drops of crystal sweat slipped quietly from her forehead.
There are no living creatures in this mysterious mountain. If you hear any strange calls, it must be something like this that is imitating their calls.
After a few breaths, the girl in gray robe pressed one hand on the boulder and held a stone tightly in her right hand. Her whole body was like a bow ready to go.
"Ga! Ga! Gulu, Gulu, Gulu."
The old man took a few steps forward again and seemed to notice something above his head. He stopped and looked up to stare at the sky.
After a while, a gash opened on the old man's face without facial features, and a scarlet tongue protruded from it.
There are various eyes rolled on the tongue, and tentacles are stretched out like vines to reach around.
"Gululu, mom! Mom! Help me, help me quickly!"
"It's imitating humans!"
The gray-robed girl's scalp was numb and her breathing was short of breath.
The tentacles on the tongue probed farther and farther, until they were about to explore the stone. The girl hesitated for a moment, and then whispered softly:
"Lord Kong Shun, please give me strength!"
Leisurely, she crushed a statue.
After the statue shattered, streaks of red mist enveloped it.
Then the girl's skinny body suddenly became plump, and she kicked the ground like a bolt of lightning.
With a "hoo" sound, he stepped on the leaves around him and the stones in his hands.
"die!"
The girl yelled, picked up a charm in her sleeves, stuck it on the stone, and threw the stone away.
The old man's eyes on his tongue were a little surprised. He wanted to take his tongue back, but it was too late.
The huge dynamic potential of the stone instantly shattered the tongue that was more than ten meters high.
Without stopping, the girl picked up a prepared wooden stick from the withered yellow leaves and stabbed the old man in the chest.
"Poof!" There was a sound.
The old man's body was penetrated like paper.
Suddenly, a very strong rotten smell filled the air.
The black blood flowing out of the old man's body seemed to have self-awareness, turning into black and ferocious faces, flowing toward the girl along the stick.
"Eliminate evil and filth!"
The girl's heart was beating wildly, and a strong sense of crisis reached the top of her head. She yelled and stepped back decisively.
At the same time, he took out another charm and attached it to the wooden stick.
The black face crossed the talisman, used the long stick as a springboard, and headed straight for the girl's face.
"not good!"
The girl secretly thought something was wrong. She gritted her teeth and took out a charm again, and at the same time took out a short knife from her gray robe.
After escaping the black face's attack, she understood that her main task now was to kill this monster, so she stabbed the old man on the ground without hesitation.
With a "pop" sound, the short knife sank into the old man's head. The black face lost its power and turned into a pool of black blood, corroding a hollow on the ground.
"Ga! Ga! Ga!"
The crows behind the old man seemed to sense something and ran out from behind the old man one after another.
Although they were called crows, those things had the heads of birds, and their lower bodies were made of bloody hands. They got out from behind and fled in all directions.
Before running a few steps, the heads of the crows gradually 'melted' into a pile of white, black, and red bugs crawling towards the ground.
With complicated eyes, the girl took out a stained handkerchief and wiped the short knife over and over again, then put it away and walked behind the stone.
On the way, the girl's plump body deflated like a balloon, and veins twitched on her dusty face from time to time, even though she didn't show any pain.
But the weird walking posture also showed that she was not feeling well at the moment.
After moving with difficulty behind the boulder, the girl lifted up the 'hill' made of leaves beside her and pulled out the embers inside.
"It's been three days. If it doesn't work out, I should tell Wang Hu and prepare to leave."
The girl sighed slightly, took off a water bag from her waist, uncorked the bottle, took a sip of water to moisten her chapped lips, then opened Ember's mouth and poured the remaining water in.
"The ghosts here are getting more and more powerful. I just don't know if I can survive it."
The girl put away the water bag and looked up at the sky. She held a wooden stick in her left hand and knocked on the embers from time to time.
"That kind of power is not easy to use!"
After a while, the ember finally broke free from the endless world of consciousness.
During the past few days of coma, although his body was conscious, he could not wake up. The bustling crowd around him was talking about him, as if they would not stop until their injuries were thoroughly studied.
It was only after the girl killed the monster that the few people stopped arguing.
Then Ember gained control of his body.
He opened his eyes and looked at the beggar-like girl next to him.
"who are you?"
The girl looked blank at first, not having high expectations for Ember's awakening, and was startled by this action.
Then there was a vigilant look in her eyes, and she quickly drew her knife and approached him. While strangling Ember, she put the knife against his neck.
"I have been thinking about a question these days"
The girl's voice was heavy and had a hint of coldness.
"Why can Mr. Zhang Si's monsters be killed by you? Why didn't those two monsters kill you? It's as if they knew you."
"What the hell are you?"
"I'm a human...and, stop, don't kill her!"
Ember glanced ahead and said softly.
In front of him, a girl in a white dress was holding a blood-stained iron hammer in her hand, looking at the figure behind Ember with an indifferent expression.
