Entering the dense woods, the light suddenly became much darker, the air became humid, and the temperature became humid and sultry. The unknown and strange journey began to unfold. Perhaps at this moment, each of us is full of doubts about the future.
We are anxious about danger, especially those of us warriors other than Instructor Shui and Zhang Li. But it is undeniable that each of us is also filled with the desire for adventure and the desire and excitement for the battle ahead.
After entering the woods for about a few hundred meters, the water instructor turned around and whispered to everyone: "Soldiers, please be careful not to talk casually, make as little noise as possible, and be especially careful not to step on anything that can easily make noise. According to the intelligence report
, the area where the enemy operates should cover this range. Everyone must also be vigilant!"
"Yes!" We agreed in a low voice, and at the same time, we clenched the various guns in our hands. We began to walk forward cautiously. After walking about two hundred meters, the density of trees began to increase greatly, and the nearby mountain residents
The commonly used paths almost disappeared, and the terrain began to extend upwards. Instructor Shui made a gesture and stopped. He listened carefully to something. Then he turned around and told us in a low voice that we had entered the West Mountain.
It is at the foot of Siling Mountain. This is the westernmost foot of Xishan Mountain. The water instructor said that this is the most magical direction of Xishan Mountain. Many strange events have occurred. The locals also say that many strange phenomena have occurred. The nearby mountain people generally
After entering the jungle where we are now, we turn north or south about 500 meters into the Xishan area for hunting or picking things. This is a place that the mountain people are in awe of. The specific reason may be due to time constraints.
Instructor Shui didn't say anything, and none of us asked.
We sat down and rested for about fifteen minutes and drank some water. It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the woods were already very dark. Instructor Water asked us to wait for her, and then stood up lightly
Running into the dense forest ahead, I thought she should explore the road by herself first. Sure enough, after a few minutes, she came back. Then she waved to everyone to follow her. So, we started moving forward again. I guess
After walking less than 200 meters this time, the woods began to become sparse, became hard underfoot, and jagged stones began to be seen all around. This indicated that we had truly entered the Western Mountains.
Instructor Shui walked in front, and we all followed behind one after another. This is a restricted area for mountain people, and there is no road at all. But it was as if Instructor Shui had been here before, and she seemed very familiar. I saw her walking lightly in front
We were walking, so we all felt it was not very strenuous. The mountains became steeper and steeper, and the temperature also changed from the sultry jungle to the very cool mountain climate. Suddenly, instructor Shui stopped and motioned for everyone to bend down and squat down.
I saw her pick up a piece of dead wood from the ground, stir up the tangled grass under a boulder, and I saw her pick up some black powdery stuff, put it under her nose, smell it, and then began to think deeply.
Everyone was kneeling on one leg, bending down and looking around cautiously. I was right behind Instructor Shui, and couldn't help but whisper: "Instructor Shui, what's wrong?" She looked sideways at me and said softly:
"This is something after burning vegetation. According to my judgment, it has been extinguished for about three or four hours. I don't think any tourists or mountain people will come here. If my guess is correct, this is what the corpse wolves left behind.
!" After saying that, he stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to everyone: "It's okay, everyone can stand up." I thought to myself, aren't we in a hurry? Isn't it because I am afraid that the corpse wolf will enter one first?
Some mysterious place, did you find something important?
Instructor Shui walked up to Zhang Li, gently held Zhang Li's hand and said, "Use your ability to see if you can find the approximate location of the corpse wolves." I was surprised! The other soldiers were also stunned. A little
Girl, what ability can you predict or find the specific location of a person within a few kilometers or even ten kilometers away? This is amazing! We all stared wide-eyed to see what this magical little girl would do.
I saw Zhang Li smiling brightly at our pig-like appearance, then sitting cross-legged on a stone, crossing her hands and placing her palms on her shoulders. Then she closed her eyes and murmured something in her mouth, which lasted only a few seconds.
At that time, I saw something incredible! Between Zhang Li's eyebrows, a bright spot appeared. A red, shining bright spot. At this time, I heard Jiao Yiming whisper: "Oh my god!"
It’s the opening of the heavenly eye!” I looked at this magical girl blankly, and suddenly felt that there really were countless magical people and events in this world.
After maybe seven or eight minutes, the red dots between Zhang Li's eyebrows slowly disappeared. She stood up, her face a little less rosy, and she seemed to have spent a lot of energy. She turned around and said to instructor Shui: "Sister Shui.
, I saw them under a very high cliff, next to a large pool, there were five of them. But it seemed that one of them could sense that I was peeping at them. I heard one of them say something, and then I
His eyes suddenly blurred a lot." Instructor Shui thought for a while, and then said: "It doesn't matter, I think the corpse wolf should know that our people are looking for him, it doesn't matter. From what you can see, I know their
We have the direction. It's at the foot of Qingling Cliff, about 1,500 meters away from us, beside the Black Snake Tan. Everyone, cheer up, we have to speed up!" After saying that, I took the lead and walked forward. I walked quickly to Zhang.
Li asked softly next to her: "Looking at your face, are you a little tired? Can you persist?" Zhang Li smiled at me and said: "It's okay! You can do it."
A group of ten of us walked quickly towards the Qingling Cliff Black Snake Tan that instructor Shui told us about.
After advancing for about a few hundred meters, a small river or stream appeared in front of it. The water color looked a bit dark blue in the dark. Some small fish or other things in the water occasionally floated on the water and flashed out.
The little bits of faint light looked very strange. The water instructor said: "This stream is called the "Little Styx" in the legend of the locals. It is said that it leads to the underworld. This stream flows all the way to where we are going.
Qingling Cliff, then passed through the Black Snake Tan, drilled into a cave at the bottom of Qingling Cliff, and fell into a bottomless underground river that is said to be the real "Great Styx River"." I couldn't help but sigh.
I shuddered, it was so scary! The water instructor continued: "Now we will walk forward along this stream. We may encounter some strange things or strange creatures on the way. Everyone should be vigilant and don't fall behind or act at will.
, everything follows my command."
Everyone was nervous when they heard this. Then they continued to move forward in silence. I didn't know why at the time, but I deliberately got closer to the stream, wanting to see what happened to this small river that the local mountain people regarded as the "Little Styx River".
How terrifying it would be. At this time, the water instructor discovered my intention and shouted to me in a low voice: "Stay away from the River Styx!" But before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt dizzy, as if there was something in the water.
Something attracted me, and I fell into the river all of a sudden. Soon after, the water instructor suddenly threw out a green belt, hugged my waist and pulled me back. The dizzy feeling disappeared immediately.
, my cold sweat suddenly soaked my underwear. Instructor Shui walked up to me, looked at me with angry eyes through the mask and said: "You want to die! The creatures in the Styx are all people and animals who died unjustly or violently.
Transformed by the soul! How dare you go to the river?!" I quickly lowered my head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, instructor. I know I was wrong." Instructor Shui glared at me fiercely, turned around and walked away.
I touched the cold sweat on my head and saw other people looking at me strangely, while Zhang Li covered her mouth with her hands and snickered at me. Damn it! It's so damn bad! I sighed secretly, obediently
They followed the large troops and moved forward.
I just stood by the "Little Styx River". To be honest, what I saw was really weird. The river flowed very slowly, and the dark blue water seemed to be very viscous. There was also a faint black mist. I
I also vaguely felt that there were many eyes looking at me inside, as if saying to me: "Come down..." My heartbeat was pounding, and cold sweat was still flowing down. This place is really like what the local mountain people said
That would be too scary.
In the night, I saw some tall trees in front of me, and something suddenly occurred to me. Along the way, since I left the jungle, I seemed to have never heard the sound of any animals or insects, and it felt like there was deathly silence.
, it seems that this place is a forbidden zone for living things. Thinking of this, I felt an indescribable, maddening and unbearable atmosphere suddenly suppressed between heaven and earth. I quickly shook my head, trying to get rid of this suffocating feeling.
.Suddenly, we all heard a shrill laugh, coming from a tree in front of us. It was definitely not a sound made by a creature known to humans. Instructor Shui immediately signaled us to stop, and I saw her body.
He stood straight, and something like a dagger about twenty centimeters long appeared in his hand like a magic trick. Under the dark moonlight, it showed a light blue light. He looked nervously at a very tall and dense tree in front of him.
We all immediately separated into a fan-shaped formation, gripped the guns in our hands, and stared at the big tree that instructor Shui was looking at.
Suddenly, another high-pitched laughter that made our hearts tremble tore through the night sky. The crown of the big tree suddenly roared, and a bird-like thing, estimated to be the size of a millstone, flew down from above and pounced towards us. Approximately
When we were two meters apart, under the dim moonlight, I saw what it looked like. Its shape and appearance were similar to those of the owls we had seen, but it was huge, and the biggest thing that scared me was that its
The head looked like... a woman's head, with long black hair. I exclaimed in my heart: Oh my God! What is this? Instructor Shui shouted: "Don't shoot, everyone.
I'll deal with it!" As he said that, he swung the dagger in his hand and jumped up to meet the strange human-faced bird. Hearing a sharp laugh, the strange bird suddenly spread its wings and enveloped Instructor Shui. Everyone was shocked.
With a shout, in the water under the light of the carbide fire, the strange human-faced bird leaped into the sky with a scream, and flew away into the night sky. The water instructor fell to the ground, motionless, with a blue-light dagger in his hand.
There were some red blood stains. Everyone walked forward quickly, and instructor Shui said calmly: "I'm fine, everyone, keep moving forward."
Later, after this mission was over, I heard Zhang Li tell me that this strange human-faced bird is called "Human-faced Owl" in legend. It is an evil creature that guards the outermost boundary of the underworld in ancient mythology. It specializes in eating fish from the Styx River.
The creature itself does not have much attack power, but the average person will be scared by its sharp laughter, and will stop moving when they see its appearance, and then it will claw through the heart with its sharp claws.
And death became its delicacy.
Everyone continued to move forward. With the "human-faced owl" incident just now, we were all very nervous. My palms holding the gun were sweating. What on earth is going on in this place? Is there anything strange or something going on ahead?
An evil thing appeared? My heart kept beating. Dear readers, don’t laugh at me for being timid when you see this. Given the circumstances and events at that time, I believe anyone would be scared.
