In the empty valley, a group of seven people were walking slowly. They came to collect medicine. The deeper into the mountain, the more valuable medicinal materials there were. Although there were dangers everywhere, it was worth their efforts for money.
The sky gradually became gloomier, and the wind blew coldly, carving people's faces, as if they wanted to cut them off. The sun had already thrown the world to hell, leaving only the coldness on the ground. .
"What the hell is this place, why is it so cold all of a sudden?" Liu Wenming shuddered and complained, but no one paid him any attention.
"We seem to be going the wrong way," captain Lin Xi said while holding the map.
"What should we do? We won't die trapped here!" The person who spoke was the tall and powerful Juan.
Lin Xi took the map and studied it carefully, "Yes, there is a fork in the road going forward through this valley. If we go around there, we can get out from here."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" said the impatient Ma Chao.
…
As evening fell, there were wild beasts lurking everywhere in the dangerous mountains. The closer the night, the better the opportunity for wild beasts to appear. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by wild beasts. The seven people did not dare to rest and kept moving rapidly. Soon they walked out of the valley. As soon as they came out of the valley, everyone stopped in unison and took a breath. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them.
Directly in front of them, an endless stretch of graves appeared in front of them. There were a few crows standing on almost every grave, making unpleasant croaking sounds. The ground was covered with white bones, and there were several armor-like things on the skeletons in the distance. The trees drooped with their mutilated bodies, proudly displaying their bloody wounds, all of which were intimidating.
This is a cemetery that is depressing, suffocating, and lifeless. The wind is blowing by, and a cold breath suddenly fills the air. Everyone feels a bone-chilling chill running through their bodies, and they shiver unconsciously. The sudden appearance of the cemetery makes people feel that this place is full of weirdness.
"Strange, there is no cemetery marked here on the map," Lin Xi said.
"Maybe this was established later," Zhou Cheng, the youngest, said.
"Impossible, this desolate look looks very old, more like an ancient battlefield. The armor proves that this place is at least two hundred years old," Qi Xuan, who was thoughtful, continued.
Lin Xi glanced at a white bone not far from him and said: "No matter what, let's leave quickly! You should be able to find the fork in the road through this cemetery. I always feel that this place feels depressing." .
The seven people walked slowly and evasively. They could not move as recklessly as before, for fear that if they were not careful, they would step on the clanking bones, especially those daunting skeletons. "Click" Someone accidentally stepped on a skeleton. Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and Zhou Cheng even shouted "Ah".
"What the hell are you yelling at? Didn't you just step on a bone?" shouted Juan with a loud voice.
When Zhou Cheng, who was still in shock, was about to fight back, Lin Xi said, "Okay, stop arguing, it's going to be dark soon, and we can't delay any longer."
The seven people continued to march, and suddenly they smelled a fragrance. As they continued to move forward, they found several extremely bright flowers not far ahead. They were extremely tall, about seventy or eighty centimeters tall. None of them recognized these flowers. What kind of flower is it?
Liu Wenming, who has always loved flowers, was about to reach out and touch it. "Don't touch it," Qi Xuan shouted anxiously. Liu Wenming looked at Qi Xuan doubtfully.
Qi Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly: "Flowers growing in cemeteries are extremely weird. In addition, this flower is extremely tall. I suspect it is a piranha flower." Especially when talking about piranha flowers, he deliberately He took a heavy breath, fearing that few people wouldn't hear him.
When they heard that it was a piranha, several people took a breath of cold air and took a few steps back, staying far away from the piranha. They still knew the horror of the piranha, which could swallow up a person's whole body.
"Come on, this is no place for people to stay." Liu Wenming looked a little panicked.
Suddenly, Huan's face turned red. He angrily pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed Zhou Cheng, who was closest to him, in the neck. Zhou Cheng was caught off guard and was stabbed. Immediately, blood spurted out. He looked at Huan in surprise with his eyes wide open. He opened his mouth to say something but failed to make a sound. The evil spirit possessed the fragment of the map and fell straight to the ground. He suddenly lost all breath and became A cold corpse.
Several people watched in astonishment as Huan was in a daze for a moment. Lin Xi reacted first and yelled, "Huan, what are you doing?" Huan didn't seem to hear Lin Xi's words. He seemed to have lost his mind and held the dagger in the air. He stabbed randomly and shouted: "Kill…kill, kill…".
At the same time, Liu Wenming suddenly pulled out a steel knife and stabbed Wu Gang, who had remained silent and did not speak to the two brothers. Wu Gang hurriedly dodged and avoided the vital point, but was still stabbed in the shoulder.
When Wu Bing saw his brother being stabbed, he pulled out the steel knife without hesitation and pierced Liu Wenming's chest. The crazy Liu Wenming abandoned the knife and opened his mouth to bite Wu Gang's neck. At this time, Wu Bing also rushed towards Liu Wenming frantically, but Liu Wenming did not make a sound of pain, and none of the three people made a sound, as if he was not the one who was injured.
The others were shocked by the scene in front of them. What was going on? Lin Xi suddenly felt a bloodthirsty impulse, and the aroma in his nose became stronger. He suddenly realized that it was that aroma.
He shouted: "Hurry up and hold your breath, it's that flower that captivates the mind." Qi Xuan seemed to have already sensed the strangeness of this flower, and without Lin Xi's prompting, he covered his mouth and nose.
The remaining people had already lost their minds, so how could they still hear Lin Xi's words? They looked at each other, shook their heads and left quickly. As for Juan and the others, they were unable to stop him. They were certain to die after seeing clearly.
Sure enough, in the end, Huan Qiqiao bled to death, Liu Wenming was stabbed to death, Wu Gang was bitten to death, and Wu Bing died in the same condition as Huan.
Lin Xi and Qi Xuan, who fled in a hurry, ran about a thousand meters away. They took a breath slowly. The fragrance of the flowers was gone, and they took a big breath without any scruples.
…
When night comes, the curved moon hanging in the sky hides itself in the clouds, as if it is afraid of something. The pale light immediately turned into bottomless darkness, and the rolling clouds covered the only glimmer of light with nightmares, making the night darker and darker.
Lin Xi and Qi Xuan arrived slowly. Suddenly, a strange sound of "Jie Jie" sounded, and all the crows flew away. The sound seemed to come from the distant horizon, and the two people who had just relaxed were suddenly horrified.
"What… what is this sound?" Lin Xi's voice was trembling. As soon as she finished speaking, a harsh sound of "crunch…crunch" sounded in her ears, and Lin Xi's stiff neck turned mechanically towards the sound.
"What is that…" Lin Xi watched in horror as the scattered skeletons before her eyes had been reorganized without knowing when, and they stood up slowly, and then slowly floated up. They all floated towards the same place, as if they were somewhere. Something is calling. Suddenly they all froze in mid-air, and a gleaming round crystal flashed out on top of these broken skeletons, which was really weird.
The luster became brighter and brighter, and the skeletons that had been staying in mid-air suddenly started to move again, slowly drifting towards the crystal, gradually moving towards the crystal, and actually slowly moving into the crystal, more and more The skeleton disappeared into the crystal.
Lin Xi looked at the weird scene in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief, but something even weirder happened. After the crystal swallowed up all the skeletons, it seemed to burp, and then it slowly squirmed, and something shocking happened.
It slowly turned into a golden skeleton. "Jie Jie" it made a strange evil sound from its mouth, and Lin Xi suddenly felt his scalp numb. Gradually, the golden skeleton slowly grew in size, until it was as big as a giant truck. Its two lantern-like eyes glowed with faint will-o'-the-wisps, showing an evil aura.
What frightened Lin Xi the most was that he actually saw the skeleton's eyes glowing with will-o'-the-wisps looking towards him. That look seemed to be soul-stirring. Suddenly, an aura of death enveloped his heart. Lin Xi instinctively Want to escape. But when he just turned around, he found that Qi Xuan was missing, and everything around him was empty except for the skeleton.
"I'm here…" A low voice sounded, and Lin Xi turned around unconsciously. What he saw was an unfamiliar and somewhat evil face.
"Who are you?" Lin Xi was a little surprised, "I am the Qi Xuan you are looking for." The evil young man held a made-up mask in his hand and waved it towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked carefully and saw that the masked face turned out to be the familiar Qi Xuan. Lin Xi suddenly realized that it was not Qi Xuan who had been following us.
"What did you do to Qi Xuan? What is your purpose in following us?" Lin Xi asked one after another.
The evil young man snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter, I just sent him to the Western Paradise."
Lin Xi's body trembled: "Kill him." The evil young man smiled evilly: "You are about to die, but you still care about the life and death of others."
When death was imminent, Lin Xi wanted to escape but found that she couldn't move. The evil spirit possessed the map fragment . She suddenly felt panicked. What was going on? Lin Xi looked up and found those two will-o'-the-wisp eyes looking towards him. Lin Xi hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him. It was he who controlled me.
"Don't waste your time, you can't run away. In order to thank you for bringing me here, I will make it clear to you." The evil young man said slowly: "A few days ago, I read in an ancient book that there is something here. The ancient battlefield, the book introduces, was a brutal battle where both sides suffered huge casualties. Only a few of those people were buried, and most of them were thrown out. After the baptism of time, it is now a graveyard of skeletons. So, I killed Qi Xuan and pretended to be him and followed you. Unexpectedly, you actually found it. All the objects in this place are suitable for nourishment for my ghost bones, and you will become my ghost bones. It’s a great honor to be nourished.”
After hearing these words, Lin Xi understood the whole incident and slumped on the ground helplessly. He felt that he could not escape this disaster no matter what.
Sure enough, the evil young man gave an order, and the skeleton opened its mouth toward Lin Xi and sucked it in. "Ah…ah…" The screams echoed in the air. Within a few breaths, Lin Xi was sucked into the mouth of the skeleton…
"It's all over, let's go, Ghost Bones," the evil young man sitting on the shoulders of the skeleton said to the skeleton. The skeleton actually flew into the sky with the young man, flying farther and farther until there was no trace of it.
The howling wind blew by, and a mournful voice seemed to be heard in the lonely and desolate cemetery, as if it was telling something. Suddenly, the lonely cemetery became a bit illusory, and it gradually disappeared as if it had completed some kind of mission. Gone, without a trace…
