Holy Bone

Chapter 1663: Falling off a cliff, corpse, and dilemma

Amid the screams and chaos, the bearded man and his men lost control of the injured woman. Then they found that the injured woman had disappeared right before their eyes. Their voices were obviously filled with panic.

After they finally calmed down the chaos and re-lit the fire with the help of the remaining flames, they saw that there were only four of them in the cabin and the injured woman had disappeared. Their faces changed drastically, and they saw that the team was about to fall into chaos again. At this time, the bearded man shouted a few times. Although no one could understand what he said, the effect of stabilizing the team was obvious.

The two strongest men, the bearded man and the brown bearded man, were responsible for closing the door to keep the wind and snow out, while two others searched the house with torches to see if the injured woman was still hiding somewhere in the house.

Wutou Jinan looked at the chaotic scene in front of him calmly. The injured woman was no longer in the wooden house on the snowy mountain. She had already escaped into the white snowy night outside.

But he didn't chase after him blindly.

Because he had already thought that these people should all have been killed and no one escaped this disaster, so as long as he followed these people the whole time, he would not need to run around randomly. The evil behind the scenes who was doing evil would come back to find these four people.

It is always easier and simpler to follow four people than to follow one person.

It was a frightening snowy night. After closing the door again and nailing it tightly, several people sat around the fire, all awake all night. Their faces showed fatigue and fear, and there was also the frightened crying of the woman with the hairband.

Fortunately, they couldn't see that there was a headless Taoist priest standing in the wooden house. The four people who had just experienced their companion being possessed by evil spirits would have been frightened even more.

The few of them sat around the fire all night. At dawn the next day, after a night of raging wind and snow, the blizzard outside had stopped, and the few of them began to discuss how to find the injured woman.

There was such a severe snowstorm last night that the people outside definitely could not find any useful clues. Any footprints or traces would have been covered by the thick snow.

The team began to have disagreements and arguments. Some wanted to get out of the snowy mountain first, while others wanted to stay and continue looking for the injured woman.

In the end, the team chose to go back and continue looking for the injured woman. This shows that the friendship between these people is very deep and they did not abandon others regardless of their lives.

  This is a vast snowy mountain area, the area is vast and the clues have been destroyed. How do these people think they can find their missing companions?

With this curiosity and doubt, Headless Jinan also followed and followed behind the few people.

Seeing that they were not wandering around aimlessly or looking around, but were all walking in the same direction, Wutou Jinan thought in his heart, since they had the same goal, could it be that that direction was the direction they came from yesterday?

The direction they were heading was exactly the direction of the frozen river that he had seen from a high place yesterday.

Sure enough, following these people could help him find clues about the Gewu Immortal Cauldron, Wutou Jinan thought.

When they were still some distance away from the glacier, they encountered a large frozen rift blocking their way, with a dilapidated suspension bridge built across the rift.

Since there is a wooden house here, it means that someone lived here for a period of time before, so it is not surprising to find a suspension bridge in the snowy mountains.

There is a bottomless abyss under the suspension bridge. If you fall down accidentally, you will be smashed to pieces and die without a complete body.

As soon as they arrived at the suspension bridge, they made a major discovery. They found a torn piece of cloth on the suspension bridge, which belonged to the possessed woman who disappeared last night.

Just when Headless Jin'an subconsciously looked towards the other side of the frozen rift, subconsciously thinking that the other party had gone to the other side of the glacier, the desperate cry of the woman with the hairband attracted his attention.

The woman with the hairband slumped on the suspension bridge, covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at the bottom of the rift with the other hand, her face showing sadness and despair.

Headless Jinan came to the edge of the cliff where the wind was biting cold. He looked down and saw a large pool of bright red blood on a rock protruding from the cliff, and a human corpse with most of its body covered by snow. It was the missing woman last night, who had now become a lifeless corpse that had fallen off the cliff.

There was a severe snowstorm last night, and the wind was even stronger here in the Rift Valley. He must have been blown down by the storm when crossing the suspension bridge.

The cliff where the body fell was too steep, and it was unrealistic to have someone go down and carry the body up. The few people could only watch their companion's body helplessly, with sad expressions on everyone's face.

The sudden collapse of the thin man scared several people. The three bearded men checked him nervously. Seeing that he was just fainted and not in danger of life, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wutou Jinan was not at all surprised at the sudden collapse of the sick man. It was surprising that such a weak body could hold on for so long in the severe weather of the blizzard.

The air is thin in the snowy mountains. He walked for a while while looking for the missing woman. He was weak and out of breath, so it was understandable that he fainted at this time.

One of their team members had already died, and they were worried that the bad weather would cause the sick man to die again. So the remaining three people forced themselves to suppress their sorrow, mourned for a while at the body that had fallen off the cliff, and then left with the sick man, returning to the direction of the snowy mountain cabin.

This is a snowy mountain, and the snowy road is difficult to walk on. In addition, the thin air consumes a lot of physical strength. No one can bear to carry a living person on their back while traveling in the snowy mountains. The big bearded man and the big brown bearded man cut a branch, put the sick man on the branch, and dragged him all the way back to the wooden house in the snowy mountains.

This scene feels familiar.

It was exactly the same scene as yesterday when I dragged my female companion.

Headless Jinan glanced at the sickly man who was still unconscious, then looked at the body that fell off the cliff, and then followed the others away.

……

Snow mountain cabin.

The firewood in the stove crackled and burned. Several people were boiling snow water and cooking food. After a big meal around the fire, their frozen hands and feet finally regained warmth and sensation.

Several people checked their bodies and found that everyone had frostbite in several places, with the hands and feet being the most seriously injured parts.

This inevitably added a bit of pessimism to the team, and the fact that a companion had just died made everyone even more pessimistic.

The conversation between the few people at the beginning turned into an argument, and then into a dispute and pushing. It seemed that everyone was blaming the other.

Wutou Jinan could roughly guess what they were complaining about without having to understand. They must be saying something like "if they had known this would happen, they shouldn't have come here" and "whoever led the way bears the greatest responsibility" to shirk responsibility.

When people fall into this kind of desperate and pessimistic environment, they all use almost the same excuses to shirk responsibility.

But there was one thing he didn't guess. Surrounded by pessimism, these people did not rush to find a way out in the snowy mountains. Instead, they returned the same way and wanted to go back to the glacier to prepare more food before looking for a way out in the snowy mountains.

However, this is exactly the result he wants most, because it can lead him to find the real Gewu Xianding.
