Holy Bone

The small wooden door had long since disappeared. Jin An stepped into the small wooden door. The place was covered with thick dust, and it seemed that no one had been there since it was abandoned.

Tables, chairs, beds and other furniture in the log cabin are all available and neatly arranged. The people who lived here did not seem to have left and abandoned the place in a hurry.

Jin An noticed a detail. The wooden bowls, spoons and chopsticks here are prepared for two people. It seems that this group of woodcutters or herb pickers did not get lost here alone, Jin An thought.

Next, he uncovered the thick animal skin blanket on the bed, further verifying his conjecture.

The animal skin blanket was also covered with a thick layer of dust. When Jin An took off the animal skin blanket, a large cloud of dust was thrown up. His Taoist robe was rolled up, and the violent cyclone sucked away the dust.

He also found a small animal skin blanket under the large animal skin blanket.

I measured it with the palm of my hand, and it was about four feet long, just enough to cover the body of a ten-year-old child to keep warm.

"It should be a father-son or elder-child relationship."

Seeing that there was nothing on the bed except for two animal skin blankets and two hardwood mats, Jin An was about to turn around and leave to continue looking for the source of the smell of corpses, huh?With a slight sigh, he looked down at the bed, as if he had discovered something.

Jin An removed all the sundries on the bed, brushed off the dust with his palms, and drew a few patterns with charcoal on the bed board where the small animal skin blanket was.

He used the animal skin blanket in his hand to wipe the bed board vigorously, and the charcoal pattern became clearer. The painting technique was immature, and it must have been done by a small hand.

Several patterns are painted spiders.

But if you look carefully, it doesn't look like a spider.

Because spiders have only four legs, the legs are as long as stick insects, and they have a long mouthpart like mosquitoes.

Jin An quickly distinguished the sequence of these paintings, and a childish child used his vision to describe to him the unknown, treacherous and absurd side of Little Shenlong Mountain.

The first pattern is a small wooden house with two people, one large and one small.

The second pattern is sunset and moonrise.

The third pattern is a huge quadruped spider appearing above the cabin after nightfall, with four long and pointed feet like stick insects covering the cabin.

The next few charcoal drawings are repeated drawings of the quadruped spider.

This is the end of the pattern.

According to the sequence of the patterns, a weird and absurd world appeared in front of Jin'an. Once two people lost their way and broke into this basin by mistake and couldn't get out, so they used the tools in their hands to build a wooden house in the forest to live temporarily.

But they soon discovered the terrifying side of this place. Every night in the basin, there will be a kind of incomparably huge four-legged mountain spider. This four-legged mountain spider is bigger than a house, and it has been wandering in the forest.

Moreover, there are many such four-legged mountain spiders, not just one.

Jin'an became interested in this so-called four-legged mountain spider. Is such a big spider some kind of ancient beast trapped in the ancient restriction of Xiaoshenlong Mountain or a ghost spider condensed by wraiths and ghosts?
The cabin is not big, and you can see it all at a glance. There are not many places to hide things. He stood by the bed and looked around a few times, but he still couldn't find the source of the smell of corpses.

He turned to look at the wooden bed beside him, lifted the wooden bed with one arm, and leaned against the wall. A piece of skin of a child whose blood had dried up and turned black, was stripped to pieces, and was bound under the bed by animal tendons!

The hands, feet and limbs were tightly tied to the four bed legs!The shattered child's human skin seemed to be looking at him, and the empty eye holes were just at his level.

The smell of corpses comes from the skin of this child that has been peeled to pieces. After the blood dries up and turns black, the strange smell lingers for a long time, just like a child's resentment and yin energy that cannot be rested for a long time.

Is this the kid from back then...

He didn't expect to know his ending so soon, it would be such a miserable death, one moment he was still looking at the pattern drawn by the child, and the next moment he saw his tragic death.

Although he was used to seeing dead people and life and death, at this moment he still felt uncomfortable.

Jin An's eyes gradually turned cold. He searched all over the cabin but could not find the adult's human skin or bones.

"Is it still alive? Or was it killed somewhere else?"

"If he is still alive, was this child killed by an adult?"

Although Jin An wanted to guess that the four-legged spider killed the person, both of them were killed under the claws of the four-legged spider, but the spider's feet could not peel off the human skin. He had observed the human skin under the bed, and the fragmented peeling wound At first glance, it was made of rough iron tools such as axes and hatchets. The child died at the hands of human beings.

An absurd conclusion came to Jin An's mind, but before there was enough evidence, he still chose to believe that tiger poison does not eat its children, and that the two people in the wooden house were killed by those living dead.

"Supreme Taiyi Duer Tianzun."

"I will take you out today. If you have any unfulfilled obsessions, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you fulfill your wishes."

Jin An recited the Taoist scriptures once, then untied the animal tendons, took off the human skin and carefully rolled it up with an animal skin blanket to carry on his back.

"I'll take you out of here when I attack Bulao Mountain." Jin An patted the animal skin strap lightly with his palm, and then walked out of the cabin with sharp eyes.

Although there is Luo Geng's jade plate to guide the direction, firstly, the basin is large, secondly, the mountains are filled with clouds and mists, and thirdly, to avoid early exposure, the progress of exploration is not fast, and Jin'an has not found the fairy chess game when it gets dark.

The sun was covered by ancient trees in the mountains, and it was darker here than the outside world. Jin An looked up at the canopy of forests and seas that covered the sky tightly. The temperature difference between day and night was large, and the clouds and fog in the basin deepened after nightfall.

At this time, those coiled roots of ancient trees and deformed and twisted thousand-year-old vines made strange noises under the night breeze, as if they were walking in a dark hell, surrounded by black shadows with teeth and claws, everything looked like a human figure.

The night in the mountains was empty and cold.

Jin An, with a human skin on his back, turned a blind eye to all this, and continued to follow the guidance of Luo Geng's jade plate. As long as he had a clear heart, why would ghosts and gods knock on the door in the middle of the night.

With his martial arts and immortal physique, he can easily see at night without the help of a light source.

Jin An walked alone at night with a human skin bag on his back, and he was silent all the way. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart at this moment... Did he deliberately slow down his pace, and wanted to see if the dark night in the basin was really real? So absurd!What the hell is a charcoal quadruped spider!
After nightfall, the basin is quiet, there is no sound of birds, beasts or insects, only the sound of dead branches being trampled, which is particularly crisp in the empty and remote mountains.

Jin An suddenly stopped moving.

His six senses are keen, and he smelled a strange atmosphere quietly permeating in the dark night. He stared straight at a certain mist in front of him, and then followed.

Clouds and mists rise, and in the deep mist, a mysterious pillar gradually appears, towering into the crown of the tree, then the second pillar, the third pillar, and the fourth pillar... It is the quadruped in the charcoal drawing of the cabin Strange spider.
