Chapter 124 Strange Mist
"Lure us into the mountains? But we were going into the mountains anyway, why do we need him to lure us?" Xiao Jing asked in confusion.
"Not only us, I think many people living here have received things sent by the minions, because some of these people are still in the wait-and-see stage. What do you think they will do if they get some benefits and find out that there are more good things in Yumen Mountain?" Bai Ningyu asked.
After hearing what Bai Ningyu said, everyone understood. The evil spirits led them to the Yumen Mountain. There must be something strange in the Yumen Mountain. This was a trap!
But everyone felt a little helpless when they came to this conclusion. After all, even if they knew it was a trap, they had to fall into it.
Li Jingze calmed down and said, "What should we do? If we don't go now, what if those people snatch the new machine away? That would be troublesome."
Li Shang shook his head. Compared to them, he seemed to be more patient. He smiled and said, "But it's more likely that those who went in tonight were there to clear the mines for us."
At this time, some people who came to watch the fun came back and said as they walked that the official had issued a notice online saying that the mountain would be closed.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took out their phones to check, and sure enough, the Yun Province authorities had issued a notice five minutes ago.
Li Yanchen smiled bitterly and said, "Now, even if we don't want to, we can't go into the mountains at night!"
Seeing this, the group hurriedly packed up their things and quickly sneaked into Yumen Mountain before the official people arrived.
Many people among them also learned the news, so like Bai Ningyu and the others, they ventured into the mountains at night.
It was pitch black in Yumen Mountain, without a single ray of light.
Even the temperature in the mountains dropped by more than ten degrees compared to the outside world. Fortunately, they were all wearing clothes made of special materials, so they didn't feel the cold was too unbearable.
As soon as she entered the mountain, Bai Ningyu felt a sense of oppression, or rather the gathering of a powerful evil spirit.
With such a huge evil spirit, there must be a powerful and terrifying existence in this mountain. No, maybe there is more than one.
If it were in the previous life, she would not be afraid at all, but now Bai Ningyu couldn't say for sure what the future would hold.
However, if I can solve the source of the evil spirit in this mountain, then the merits will surely come to me in an overwhelming manner.
Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. The most important thing is to find Lingling and get out of the mountain alive together.
As the geomancer, Li Su naturally walked in front to guide everyone. Behind him followed Li Shang and Bai Ningyu, then Li Jingze and Li Yanchen, then Zhang Er, Tao Hua and Sun Lu, and finally Xiao Jing and the great elder Du Heng brought up the rear.
Since the perception of the psychics is the same as that of the monks, they can feel the position of objects in the dark, so the forest is still pitch black.
Only at the beginning they could still hear the sound of people's footsteps, or other people with special abilities passing by them, but later on, the only sound was the sound of their own walking.
No one talked in the quiet forest. They just followed the person in front of them and kept alert to the movements around them.
From time to time, I could hear the cries of some unknown animal, which seemed particularly strange and terrifying in this dark environment.
After walking for about half an hour, they found the first body. His body was covered with wounds from sharp weapons and all his belongings had been looted.
It was obvious that some people with special abilities did not intend to take risks, so they began to ambush those who entered the mountains in the outer mountains in order to rob them of their property, weapons, or rare treasures.
This practice is no different from robbery, but the risk is low and the reward is high, and you can get your property without taking any risks.
Li Shang frowned and said, "Everyone be careful and don't fall behind. There are people hiding in the dark, killing people and stealing treasures."
At this moment, a white-haired ball as big as a five-year-old child suddenly flashed past everyone and quickly ran into the woods.
Li Jingze: "What was that thing that ran over just now?"
Li Su pondered for a few seconds and said uncertainly, "It looks... like a rabbit."
"Wow, they're so big. Next time I see one, I must catch two to try." Li Yanchen said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be too happy too soon. Every environment has its own ecosystem. You see such a big rabbit now, which means there is something bigger coming to eat it." Li Shang's voice became lower.
After hearing what Li Shang said, Li Yanchen immediately put away the smile on his face, swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "Third brother, you are not saying that there is a Titan python in here, right?"
"That's hard to say, fourth brother." Li Jingze leaned over and suddenly said this in Li Yanchen's ear.
Li Yanchen just let out an "Ah" and jumped away.
In an instant, Li Yanchen's screams echoed all around.
"Fourth brother is still so timid. He gets scared when snakes are mentioned. This is not good." Li Jingze said with a smile.
Li Yanchen shouted angrily, "Brother!"
"Be careful!" Li Shang interrupted the two.
Suddenly, a thick fog rose up around them. The fog was so thick that they couldn't even see the people around them. They could only rely on their spiritual sense to sense each other's position.
Li Su's voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and confusion as he said, "This fog is quite strange. Normally, there shouldn't be fog in this situation."
Suddenly, a figure flashed past them quickly, and then suddenly disappeared into the fog.
Several people gathered together, standing back to back, sensing the movements around them.
At this time, Sun Lu screamed "Ah", and then everyone heard rustling sounds and the sound of people being dragged away.
The Great Elder Du Heng immediately chased after him.
At this time, Xiao Jing used his special ability, and the surroundings immediately burst into flames. Although the fog dissipated, the dead branches and leaves that had been deposited here for a long time were instantly ignited.
Zhang Er roared, "What kind of magic are you using, woman? Are you trying to kill us?"
Everyone quickly dodged in all directions. Bai Ningyu stood there and calmly performed a spell. Heavy rain fell, immediately extinguishing the flames.
At this moment, Li Su pointed at the person lying on the ground, almost covered by fallen leaves, and said, "Isn't that Sun Lu?"
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound. Zhang Er helped up the unconscious person who had fallen to the ground. It was indeed Sun Lu.
Li Shang frowned and said, "Oh no! The Great Elder is in danger!"
