1921. Chapter 1921 Corpse on the tree
Holding these two strips of cloth, Ye Qing pondered for a moment, and finally decided to walk in the direction pointed by the strip. Anyway, he didn't know which direction he should go in in this canyon, and the result was the same, which was also considered an adventure in the past.
After walking a little further, Ye Qing found a few more strips of cloth, all wrapped around trees or something. It seemed that someone had left them on purpose. Or, the people before used to use these strips as marks to mark the path they had walked.
As Ye Qing walked along the way, all the cloth strips he saw were pulled down and put in his pocket. He did this to prevent Du Canglang from chasing these cloth strips.
There are dense forests everywhere in the canyon, and Ye Qing is walking in it. It is not so easy for Du Canglang to find him. Of course, without these cloth strips, even Ye Qing himself would not know how to walk here.
The canyon occupies a considerable area, and Ye Qing walked about two miles away. The surrounding white bones began to gradually decrease, and the cloth strips were also increasing. Ye Qing was even more sure that someone had deliberately left the cloth strips as marks.
Walking a corner, Ye Qing suddenly heard a cold voice: "Stop!"
Ye Qing was startled because he had already heard that it was obviously Du Canglang's voice. The sound was very loud, which made Ye Qing's eardrum buzz, and he couldn't hear clearly where the sound came from. However, this also scared Ye Qing. Did Du Canglang discover him?
"Come out, I'll see you!" Du Canglang's voice sounded again. Listening to this voice, Ye Qing suddenly felt a little surprised. Since Du Canglang saw him, with his strength, why didn't he come out to catch him, but instead shouted loudly? He turned around carefully and looked around, but he didn't see any trace of Du Canglang, and he didn't know where the sound came from.
Unable to see Du Canglang, Ye Qing was at a loss for a moment, and didn't know whether Du Canglang had discovered him. So he stood there and did not dare to move around, and just looked around quietly. After five minutes, Du Canglang's voice came again: "Stop running, I'll see you!"
However, the sound this time was far away from Ye Qing. Although Ye Qing hadn't heard where the sound came from, he knew that Du Canglang was getting farther and farther away from him.
Hearing this time, Ye Qing let out a long sigh, and he finally knew what was going on. Du Canglang didn't notice him at all, but just shouted to scare him, wanting to scare him out. Fortunately, Ye Qing had better quality in his heart. When Du Canglang shouted, he did not walk around, nor did he answer Du Canglang's words. If he had said a little while and Du Canglang heard his voice, he would have found him long ago.
After patting his chest, Ye Qing hurriedly walked across the corner and continued to move forward quietly, not daring to make too much noise. Not long after walking, Du Canglang's voice came again, but this time it was farther away. It can be seen that he and Du Canglang were running completely in two directions, which made Ye Qing feel even more at ease. It was not easy for Du Canglang to catch up with him.
He didn't dare to stay. Listening to Du Canglang's voice getting farther and farther away, Ye Qing gradually accelerated his pace. After running about three miles forward, he could no longer find the marks left by the cloth strips. All the clues seemed to have come to an abrupt end here.
Ye Qing looked around and intuition told him that the clue was broken here. According to normal calculations, there must be something wrong with this. He looked around carefully, especially near the tree tied to the last cloth strip just now, wanting to see what special places are around.
After walking around the tree twice, Ye Qing did not find any special place. When it was strange, Ye Qing accidentally touched a place above the trunk, and suddenly felt that the place was a little slippery. Ye Qing looked up and saw that the bark was broken in the place he was touching, revealing the juice of the trunk, so he had this slippery feeling.
Seeing these, Ye Qing suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart. These trees grew in the canyon. Generally, nothing could damage them. How could the trunk break a little skin? Moreover, Ye Qing looked carefully and found that there seemed to be some heavy objects cutting through the broken skin. Ye Qing knew these things. When he was in the army, he had seen some tree climbing tools hanging on the trunk, and this would happen. Could it be that the broken skin on the trunk was scraped out by the tree climbing tools?
Ye Qing quickly looked up and carefully observed the tree. He found that there were many such traces on it, extending all the way to the top of the trunk. It was obvious that someone must have climbed up the tree before, so there were such traces on the tree.
The cloth strip was gone when it arrived at this tree, and the mark was broken here, and now there were traces of climbing trees, which made Ye Qing wonder if those people had climbed onto the trees here. But what did they do when they climbed onto this tree? Although the tree was very tall and very large, there was nothing on it?
After pondering for a while, Ye Qing decided to go up and see it clearly by himself. He knew that those who could enter this canyon were not fools, and these people must have a purpose when they came here. Since they climbed up this tree, it means that there must be something wrong with the tree, Ye Qing naturally had to go up and study it clearly by himself.
Before, those people needed tools to climb trees, but Ye Qing didn't need anything. He knew these techniques when he was very young. When he was in the army, he often fought in the mountains and forests, and his skills in climbing trees were even more superb. Although he had no internal force to protect his body, his strength was far less difficult than before, Ye Qing wanted to climb this tree.
He tied his clothes in his pants, and Ye Qing used his hands and feet, hugged the trunk for a few times before climbing up. The tree grew very strangely, and there were not many branches below. It was three meters up, but it was branches and branches. Moreover, the tree had grown for many years. The branches on it were as wide as footballs. When people stood on it, they would not break the branches. Moreover, the branches were full of branches and leaves, lushly. When people stepped on it, they blocked people tightly, which was a good place to hide.
Ye Qing climbed up about ten meters, and the traces left by the tree climbing tool came to an abrupt end. In other words, those people stopped when they crawled here. Ye Qing turned around and wanted to see what was around here. However, he just fell down without looking. He turned around and looked at it, and was shocked.
This branch is surrounded by lush branches and leaves, which can keep people tightly in it. Ye Qing stood on this branch, and about three meters behind him, there was a head exposed outside the branches and leaves!
This is a man with a very pale face, his face is less than half that of a normal person, and his facial features seem to be twisted and curled up together. But it can be seen that there is still a sense of horror and a dying unwillingness on his face. The head floats in the air with the branches and leaves, giving people an extremely cunning feeling.
Even though Ye Qing was extremely brave, he was shocked when he saw such a head in such a bone-filled canyon. However, he quickly returned to his calmness. After looking carefully, he found that the man's face was not small, but had contracted for some reason, so he became half the size of a normal person. Moreover, this was not only one head, his body was blocked by the branches and leaves behind, because the branches and leaves were too dense, so it looked like there was only one head.
In fact, if the corpse was exposed, it wouldn't be so terrifying. Only one head was exposed, which made people feel shocked.
After figuring out the specific situation, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He walked along the tree trunk and turned the corpse over, but was shocked to find that the fabric on the corpse was exactly the same as the cloth strips that Ye Qing had seen before.
"These marks were left by you!" Ye Qing looked at the corpse in shock. This was a man in his thirties and forties, with calluses on his hands and carrying a lot of tools for tomb robbers. It seemed that he was also a professional tomb robber. Judging from the joints of his body, this person should have practiced martial arts, and his strength should be not weak, at least he has reached the realm of internal and external power. Among the tomb robbers, there are not many people with such strength, and this person entered the mountain of Dude and died here so strangely, which makes people wonder.
They all climbed onto this tree. What happened again that caused the man to die here? Is there any danger on this tree?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing subconsciously turned around and looked around, but did not find anything special. He was even more surprised, how did this man die on this tree? If he came alone, what killed him? If he did not come alone, but the person who was traveling with him killed him, why would the person who was traveling with him put him on this tree?
Ye Qing couldn't understand these problems for a while. In order to find out the origin of these people, Ye Qing moved the corpse out and carefully observed the specific situation of the corpse, trying to find out the cause of the man's death and analyze what happened to the man.
