Holy Bone

Chapter 1664 The truth and danger approaching step by step

When several people were spending the night in a wooden cabin in the snowy mountains, Wutou Jinan noticed a detail.

The unconscious and sickly man's face was slowly changing and something was beginning to seem wrong.

This abnormality became more obvious especially when others fed it hot food.

In the eyes of others, the sickly man was just weak and fainted, and his complexion looked a little bad. However, in the eyes of a physiognomist who understood the face and bone structure, the sickly man's face was becoming more and more like the injured woman before she was possessed and disappeared.

Headless Jinan looked at the fresh ingredients tightly wrapped in animal fur.

Those hot dishes all come from these fresh ingredients, that is, from the Gewu Xianding.

Thinking of this, he began to observe the complexions of the bearded man, the brown-bearded man, and the woman with the hairband one by one. The faces of the three of them were a little abnormal. After eating hot food and warming themselves by the fire, their complexions were rosy and they looked energetic. Their complexions were so rosy that there was a hint of red light pressing on their fate palaces.

This is not a sign of good fortune or vitality, but a sign of an imminent bloody disaster.

If the life palace appears red, it depends on what kind of red it is. For example, if it is red to black, it means there will be a bloody disaster.

However, the three men had clear eyes and no signs of being stuck. This bloody disaster was not caused by evil spirits entering the body or external evil invading the body. The threat should come from external objects.

The first thing that came to his mind was the sickly, thin man who might be possessed and go mad next.

Secondly, they thought of the pieces of clothing of the possessed woman that they had picked up on the suspension bridge.

The piece of clothing belonged to the possessed woman. She died a miserable death and had been possessed by an evil spirit, so she must have a lot of resentment. He had expected what would happen to the piece of clothing.

Perhaps it was because of the experience of their companion being possessed, going crazy, and disappearing last night, which happened just one day ago, which left a deep impression on the bearded men and their friends. When they spent the night in the wooden house in the snowy mountains tonight, they used wooden boards and ropes to tie up the sick man tightly before they dared to fall asleep.

Seeing how cautious several people were, even Headless Jinan nodded, saying that it was appropriate to be cautious at this time.

This is what normal people do.

I don't know if the tight bindings worked, but the night was peaceful. There was no snowstorm and no strange things happened. The few people spent the night peacefully while the sick man was unconscious.

The weather in the snowy mountains was gloomy, and the next day was covered with dark clouds again without the sun. In this kind of weather, it gets dark early, so it is only suitable to get up early and travel. Early in the morning, several bearded men, who had eaten hot food to replenish their energy, got ready and set out early, leaving the wooden house in the snowy mountains and heading towards the glacier.

This time, with the help of some tools and materials in the cabin, they made a simple sled stretcher, tied the sick man tightly on it, and then the bearded man and the brown-bearded man took turns pulling the simple sled stretcher.

Of course, Headless Jinan still followed behind the few people as usual.

He looked at the few people who were not in a hurry to find a way out of the snow-capped mountains, but actually returned to the direction of the glacier. A hint of surprise flashed across his heart.

I was thinking about it and roughly guessed what these people were thinking.

It was still the same suspension bridge where the possessed woman fell off the cliff yesterday. The body of the woman was still there. The weather in the snowy mountains was bad, and there were no wild animals or birds around, so the body was not taken away.

When they saw their companions' bodies fall off the cliff again, they couldn't help showing their sadness. The sled stretcher is suitable for dragging on the snow, but not on the suspension bridge. When crossing the suspension bridge, after a brief discussion, they decided to let the bearded man hold the sled stretcher, and the brown-bearded man temporarily carry the fainted companion across the suspension bridge. However, when they were halfway across the suspension bridge, something went wrong. There were several shoe prints on the unmelted ice and snow on the suspension bridge, which caused a small commotion in the team.

If the body that fell off the cliff had not been lying next to it, it would be easy for people to mistake it for the shoe prints left by the companion who fell off the cliff and came back to life.

To this end, several people lay on the edge of the suspension bridge and repeatedly confirmed the body that fell off the cliff. The body was indeed still there and had not disappeared.

Headless Jin'an didn't need to go forward to check. Under his spiritual sense, the series of shoe prints were clearly reflected in his soul. The shoe prints were a bit big, so they should have been left by a man.

The shoe prints moved back and forth on the suspension bridge, but never went beyond the halfway point, as if there was an invisible boundary on the bridge, blocking the man in the second half of the bridge, unable to cross to the other side of the rift.

Of course, there are other reasons too, but this answer is more logical at the moment.

However, what Wutou Jinan was more curious about was, are there any other people in this snowy mountain besides them?

  He quickly thought of the man’s face on the human flesh tripod. He had never seen that face. Could it be that the shoe print was left by the other party?

The other party is finally willing to show up?

Headless Jin'an was thinking a lot at this moment. The bearded man's voice was getting louder and louder. He didn't know what they mentioned. The team's morale was greatly boosted. They crossed the suspension bridge with excited expressions and ran to the other side of the rift.

"Could it be that there are other people on the other side of the glacier? The bearded man thinks that other companions have survived and are looking for them. Is this the reason why their morale is suddenly boosted?" Headless Jin'an thought to himself.

"This answer should be almost certain. Since five of them were able to walk out of the glacier, it's not surprising that there are a sixth and a seventh..."

"Could it be that the face on the human flesh cauldron is recognized by several of you? Is it the companion that the bearded man and his companion lost?"

Headless Jinan thought as he continued to follow.

Just as he was about to cross the suspension bridge, Wutou Jinan took a last look at the shoe prints in the snow. There was still one question he couldn't figure out...

If they were really lost companions looking for the bearded man and his companions in the vast snow-capped mountains, why didn't they just cross the bridge?

  Why do you only linger on the other half of the suspension bridge?

Were these shoe prints left there intentionally? Or was it because they couldn't cross the suspension bridge?

The bearded men were all ordinary people. They didn't think as much as Headless Jin'an. After successfully passing the suspension bridge, they put the sick man on a simple sled stretcher again and rushed towards the glacier excitedly.

Looking at the excitement and expectant expressions on their faces, they naively believed that their lost companions were looking for them and had found them here at the suspension bridge.

There was one thing he was very clear about, that the people he saw before him had actually been killed long ago and no longer existed in this world. What he saw before him were all things that had happened in the past and were the lingering obsessions of people after their death.

It is likely that the bearded men and their group would be in great danger when crossing the suspension bridge this time, and they might all be killed.

So the wandering shoe prints are not simple, they are a sign of bad luck, not good fortune.

Wutou Jinan followed them silently. He wanted to see what was on the other side of the glacier. He wanted to see if they could really lead him to find the Gewu Xianding. And if the Gewu Xianding was really abandoned in this desolate snowy mountain...

At the same time, he kept an eye on the sickly man. The symptoms of being possessed by evil spirits in his face became more and more obvious, which was another major hidden danger.
