Chapter 168
Because of the monster gecko man, I was particularly sensitive to all things that looked like humans but not humans. At the moment when the light was turned on, I actually didn't see clearly what the pair of red eyes were. I just felt like humans. After Lao Hei chased me out, I immediately became nervous, but I couldn't chase me impulsively. I touched the tent. Yuan Tiandao's sleep was very light. I patted him gently and immediately woke up. I roughly mentioned the situation. Yuan Tiandao walked out of the tent, and we walked in the direction that Lao Hei was chasing just now.
In that place, where the red eyes are, I saw a row of huge footprints. This row of footprints is obviously different from the row of Lao Hei. I usually wear 46 size shoes, and I roughly compared them. Judging from these footprints, they are at least fifty sizes away.
"Do you want to go over and take a look?" I asked.
Yuan Tiandao took the flashlight and scanned the distance, but we could not see anything except the white area. He shook his head gently and said, "Don't act rashly."
I know what Yuan Tiandao means, but in fact we have never been very relieved about Zhao Wuji. Although this antique tycoon in Luoyang has always been showing no leakage, all the equipment we entered the Snow Mountain this time was also provided by him for free.
But I will not forget who our opponent is. So far, although neither Aoki nor the Liu family in Jiangnan did anything directly against me, of course, except for the one Liu Qingyun wanted to kill me in Nanjing, as I gained a deeper understanding of this matter, I feel that the Liu family in Jiangnan and Aoki's family seem to play an important role in this matter. Their purpose may be in conflict with the "me" back then, so although I do not know what the truth I am pursuing, I am subconsciously guarding them. What's more, Aoki is now ahead of us, and we have to race against time to reach that place before her.
And what about Zao Wuji?
His father was once a member of the Liu family's team.
He is even close to the pangolins of the Aoki family.
Even though he gave us seemingly reasonable explanations, Yuan Tiandao and I still cannot trust him. After all, you must be wary of others. At least now it seems that as long as you are involved in this matter, everyone has his own plans.
Yuan Tiandao and I returned to the tent and waited silently. This feeling was very uncomfortable. On the one hand, I was afraid that this was a conspiracy, and on the other hand, I was afraid that if Zhao Wuji really wanted to find out the truth and had no intention of not being second-minded, and Lao Hei had something to do because of chasing him out, then the team strength we had finally gathered immediately fell apart.
About an hour later, a figure gradually appeared in the distance. When I saw the flashlight, it turned out to be Lao Hei. I immediately stood up and met him and said, "Brother, are you okay?"
He shook his head gently at me and signaled that he was fine. After returning to the campfire, I didn't say anything impulsive. Twenty asked him, "Did you see what that is?"
"It seems like a snow ape. His speed is very fast, and I didn't catch up with it." He said softly.
"Snow Ape?" I wondered, the apes on the snowy mountain?
"I have heard of this kind of thing. Ordinary apes have rootless toes like humans, but this kind of snow ape has only three. There is also a kind of poison on its claws. As long as it is caught by its claws, the wound cannot heal and will directly ulcerate to death. In the past, Tibetans had hunted this kind of thing while hunting deep in the snow-capped mountains, but now it has basically become a legend. Are you sure you are not wrong?" Yuan Tiandao asked.
Lao Hei shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I just feel like it."
Lao Hei is a person who can easily talk to the sky to death as long as he speaks. Yuan Tiandao could not answer any more without saying a few words. He nodded and said to us: "If it is true, it is best not to provoke them."
Lao Hei naturally would not respond to him. Yuan Tiandao got into the tent and continued to sleep. He was speechless that night. Everyone got up on time the next morning. After the fat man got up all night, he became much more energetic. I was still thinking about what I had last night, so I told them about the eyes last night and asked the young man if he had heard of the snow ape.
Who knew that the young man's expression changed suddenly after listening to it. He stood up and said, "Let's go and take me to see the footprints."
I realized something was wrong, so I quickly took him to check it out. After comparing the footprints, the young man said with a slightly pale face: "It's really that kind of beast. It's strange. This beast has been extinct for decades. We are still in the human activity area and shouldn't have encountered it."
"What the hell is going on?" I said.
"I heard from the old people that the most terrifying thing in this snowy mountain is not the snow wolf, but the kind of people who are scattered. This thing is snow-white all over and can't be seen clearly when it is hidden in the snowy mountain. It is not only powerful but also very cunning. It loves to eat people. If there is no need to worry, the cat will pull down the person's heads in the snow pile when people are not careful. In the past, when there are few people, they would go down the mountain to steal children's food. It seems that it knows that the child's flesh is tender, and it is also terrifying. When it is in heat, it will stop people from mating. No one who has been tortured by it can survive. When children cried, adults would always scare them and say that they would throw them out to feed people's pigs, which is accurate when they scare them." The young man said.
The fat man said, "Can this thing be eaten?"
I glared at him and said, "Why do you ask if you can eat anything?"
The fat man scratched his head and said, "Inertial thinking, inertial thinking."
"You can't eat it. The old people said that someone had beaten to death before. The meat was extremely fishy and there was a sour smell in his mouth until he ate it." The young man said.
"Have you seen it?" I asked.
The young man shook his head and said, "There are very few people I have seen. Of course, this is related to the fact that the people I have seen are basically dead. This thing is actually similar to the legend. The old man said that this thing is smart and knows that he can't beat people, so he hides in the mountains and cannot come out. By the way, the snow ape you saw last night has red eyes, which means that it has eaten humans. The old man said that only the snow ape that has eaten humans will turn red, and it will be similar to rubies. If it is really that beast, it will be troublesome. The snow ape that has eaten humans only loves to eat human flesh. If you don't eat humans, you will be crazy."
I have heard of the change of eyes. Cats and dogs who have eaten human flesh will turn green. But I am not so worried when I know this thing is just a beast. There are two people like Yuan Tiandao and Lao Hei in the team, and there are also people like us. It is not difficult to deal with a beast.
Seeing the young man talking about everyone in panic, I said, "What I said is so powerful is just a beast who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Last night, Lao Hei drove it alone to run away with his head. Besides, even if it is a sea of swords and fire, it cannot stop us from moving forward. Everyone has to eat first and start work after dinner."
——After resting, we packed up our equipment and continued to set off for a rush. As we walked, the young man who was walking in front of the team slowly put down his foot and walked to me. I saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he slowed down. After a while, the young man lowered his voice and said to me: "I dare not say it just now. In fact, there is another saying here, that is, if you see someone, you will die."
"What does this mean?" I asked.
"A person blocks the road and wants people to eat. As long as he gives it to eat one person, he will let others go. If he doesn't give it, no one will leave." The young man said mysteriously.
"What's wrong? It's just an animal, and I'm telling you something like a god. Your statement is probably at some point when a group of people encountered this thing and threw their companions to the snow ape for their lives to escape. After they went back, they made up the argument." I said.
Seeing that I didn't believe it, the young man sighed and said, "I thought so before, but my father told me that when he was driven by a corpse, he encountered such a person who was snatched the corpse. The corpse leader Zhang, who drove the corpse, fed the corpse and snatched the corpse, and the man, made way. And the corpse, could smell the smell, and followed platoon leader Zhang along the way."
As soon as he said this, I immediately became uneasy. Seeing my face change, the young man made an expression like you finally understand what I meant. He said, "Think it through. The reason why the platoon leader surnamed Zhang drove a team of corpses into the mountain at that time was the corpses of that team, which was the one who robbed people, was to buy money for people to rob people! Last night, the man robbed people wanted to buy money for us!"
"Fuck!" I said.
"Why didn't you say this earlier?" I said.
"I don't know that kind of thing we will encounter. I couldn't say it just now, it's not going to disrupt the morale of the army!" said the young man.
"It's over, your fellow villagers are probably going to stop! Since that woman Aoki has asked your father to be a guide, why did she still invite so many people in your village to come over at a high price? Do you think she will use the people in your village as money for buying roads?!" I said.
When the young man heard this, his little face turned pale. He slapped his head and said, "It's really fucking!"
I am not a Bodhisattva-minded person, but after I knew this, I was completely uneasy. In order to make some money, the villagers entered the mountains, and their wives and children were waiting to go home. If they were really stolen food for those snow apes, wouldn’t the people at home crying out? These were not beasts like cattle and sheep, but living people.
I remembered Aoki's face that looked calm and wise.
If it is really everything is as imagined.
