Chapter 2480: Weird Forest
Chapter 2480: Weird Forest
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning felt great pressure while exploring the valley.
Because the ground in this valley is covered with fallen leaves, if you step on it, your whole foot will sink in, as if you are stepping on swamp ground.
They were relatively heavy to begin with, and half of their feet would sink in when they stepped on them. What made them most stressed was the worry that there would be some strange insects in these fallen leaves, such as ticks. If such insects burrowed into their skin, it would be as minor as Causes skin inflammation, or even meningitis.
So they focused on their legs and moved more slowly.
Unlike the mountains that they felt from the outside, they could hear the chirping of insects and birds from time to time in the valley, and they could also see mosquito-like insects flying around in front of them.
They could only stay quiet and move forward slowly.
It was just a trial in the first place, and it didn’t need to go too far.
But as they walked into the forest, a frightening side emerged.
First, Xu Ning shouted "Ah". This time, Wang Jinpeng did not laugh at him, because he also felt an unprecedented fear.
There were many corpses hanging on the trees in front of them.
A breeze blew, and the body swayed back and forth like a wind chime.
Lin Ran's heart tightened when he saw this scene. It was really terrifying.
There is a body hanging on almost every tree in this forest.
Moreover, the ages of death of these corpses are different. Some have turned into bones, but some seem to have died not long ago, with protruding eyes and blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.
Fortunately, I didn't have dinner, otherwise I would have vomited when I saw this scene.
Xu Ning stopped, not daring to go any further.
Wang Jinpeng looked back at Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, why is this place so scary? It makes me feel scared."
Lin Ran remained noncommittal and forced himself to calm down.
There were many hanged corpses in the woods. This situation reminded Lin Ran of the neon God's Hidden Forest. People who were desperate for life would come to the forest and hang themselves in a tree that they were more familiar with.
But even in the notorious Shenyin Forest, someone will deal with the body and won't let it hang on the tree forever.
It can be seen from the skeleton sentence just now that this forest has not been managed by anyone for quite a long time.
When I was walking in the woods before, I could smell a kind of fragrant grass smell unique to nature.
But standing here, with the breeze blowing in my face, what I smell is a disgusting rancid smell.
Lin Ran covered his nose and took a few steps forward.
These corpses are completely dead, but they look scary and don't look like they will wake up.
"Let's explore this place today." Lin Ran felt that this place was too dark, and there were so many dead bodies. Even if there were no supernatural phenomena when exploring at night, the scene alone would scare them half to death. .
They decided to leave temporarily to cooperate with the large army.
After resting for a whole night, they came to the woods again the next day.
Because of the previous fright, they became much calmer when they saw the woods full of corpses again.
Everyone covered their noses and walked through the woods full of corpses.
As a result, after crossing, we saw a hilltop and a river later.
This is where the real leader lies.
"The entrance to the ancient tomb should be here." Lin Ran said.
After Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning received the order, they picked up their hoes and started digging, trying to reach the entrance.
But the situation of this mountain is somewhat similar to the mountains outside, because although there is some grass on the surface, it is still red soil when dug down.
What's even more terrifying is that when the red mud is dug out, it's not only red on the outside, but also contains some bright red liquid inside.
"Boss, look at this mud."
Wang Jinpeng asked Xu Ning to stop working and called Liu Jingfeng over.
They are called Tufuzi because they have special research on soil.
Looking at the red liquid in the soil, Liu Jingfeng's eyes widened.
Picking up Wang Jinpeng's shovel and checking it, he was sure that he was right. This was not the color of red soil mixed with rainwater, but a real red liquid.
The shovel looked like it was stained red with blood.
Liu Jingfeng frowned, put on his gloves, picked up a handful of soil and smelled it at the tip of his nose.
But he couldn't tell what kind of soil it was.
Lin Ran also followed his example and smelled it, but he was more courageous and felt the quality of the soil directly without wearing gloves.
"This is not blood." Lin Ran said.
Although the air was still filled with a rotten smell, Lin Ran could still smell the soil in his hands without the smell of blood.
Instead, there is a special chemical smell.
"Brother Lin, do you think there will be something down here..." Wang Jinpeng didn't say the next words, but just imitated the action of wiping the neck with Zongzi.
Tufuzi will not take action against soil that behaves abnormally, but the situation they encountered before was that the soil was soft and prone to landslides when dug.
This is really the first time I have encountered this situation.
"Leave him alone." Lin Ran said, even if there are monsters below, they must dig to the bottom, because the bottom may be the real entrance to the next tomb passage.
Nowadays, they are like playing an online game, needing to solve puzzles one after another in order to reach the next level.
Faced with this situation, they have no choice.
Liu Jingfeng nodded and said: "There are indeed some strange things in this picture. In other words, there should be an entrance below, and the soil is very dense. It has obviously been piled up by people. There should be no risk of collapse if dug down. "
"Okay." Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning nodded, picked up the shovels and began to continue digging.
Lin Ran and Liu Jingfeng stood nearby, observing their work like foremans.
"Do you think this liquid is a trap?" Liu Jingfeng was still afraid of the soil just now.
"It's hard to say, but I feel like..." Lin Ran took a deep breath. As more and more soil was dug, the sour smell in the air became stronger and stronger.
Different from the smell of blood and carrion, this is a special chemical agent.
"Some are like ancient alchemists, such as those who made elixirs and made weapons."
"You guys keep digging, but be careful when digging, Jinpeng, try not to use a shovel, dig slowly with a shovel," Lin Ran said.
If it was true as he suspected, there might be some bottles and jars specially used to store chemicals buried underneath. If they were broken, it might cause unnecessary risks.
"Yeah." Wang Jinpeng threw the shovel aside and took out the Luoyang shovel.
The two big men squatted on the ground with small shovels and slowly started digging.
