"You all hide in the mountains, it's impossible that you don't communicate, do you have any days to get together?"

Zhang Hao no longer thought about the female ghost and turned to look at the man again.

The man was about to speak when he heard Zhang Hao suddenly ask another question.

"Your name is Chen Lijiu?"

The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and nodded quickly.

There was a sign on his door with his name and a portrait on it.

A strange look flashed across Zhang Hao's eyes.

This portrait seems to be the one on the wanted poster, right?

What did this guy do to deserve a bounty on his head?

"Go on."

Zhang Hao said.

Chen Lijiu nodded cautiously.

At this point, he didn't dare to hide anything from Zhang Hao anymore and just told him everything.

A moment later, Zhang Hao learned many secrets of the Evil Valley from him.

To outsiders, the Valley of Evil is indeed very mysterious, but the Valley of Evil is ultimately a place made up of people.

As long as they are all human beings, they are bound to deal with each other, whether it is to buy supplies or seek help from each other, even if it is just for their own safety, they have to visit each other.

In Chen Lijiu's narration, what made Zhang Hao most curious was not the smuggling channels in the Evil Valley, but the market.

People in the Valley of Evil have two days every month to go to market.

People hiding in the mountains are not sensitive to news from the outside world, so they need to inquire about news from each other.

Moreover, there are a lot of smuggled goods in the mountains, and they need to trade with each other every month in exchange for what they need.

In response to the needs of all parties, this group of people would get together at the end of every month to communicate with each other.

"Did you bring any money?"

Zhang Hao suddenly said.

There is nothing valuable in this dilapidated wooden house. If you want to go to the market, you must at least have money, right?

Hearing this, Chen Lijiu chuckled, pointed to a wooden board beside the door, then carefully opened it and took out a rag bag from it.

After the rag bag was opened, there were stacks of banknotes inside. However, after looking at it for a while, Zhang Hao was surprised to find that this was not the currency used by ordinary people.

"Sir, we have our own trading rules in the mountains. Money is useless here. We have all been involved in murders outside, so money is useless to us. The only useful thing is the bounty."

Chen Lijiu said, picking up one.

The bounty poster clearly showed a bounty for a street robber, but it not only listed the name and place of origin, but also the home address.

"A bounty means that you can know a person's background. If you see him again in the future, you can use this thing to threaten him. After all, it won't harm his wife and children. As long as he wants to protect his family, he has to be obedient."

Chen Lijiu chuckled and patted the remaining bounty order, with a smug look on his face, as if this thing was priceless.

Zhang Hao looked at the bounty order silently, thinking in his heart, and gradually reacted.

The so-called trading rules are actually a manifestation of the fact that the strong are respected.

In this place, the most important thing is fists, and besides fists, the second most important thing is intelligence.

Because everyone has committed murder, it is impossible for them to talk to people using their real identities. Once their real identities are discovered, not only will they be in trouble, but their families will also be exposed to the public.

A person who is not afraid of death may be one in a hundred, but a person who is not afraid of implicating his family is hard to find even in a million.

The reason why the execution of three clans and nine clans in ancient times was considered the highest level of punishment was that once such punishment was violated, it would not only be the individual who would be punished, but everyone, including the entire family.

The Valley of Evil is indeed the Valley of Evil.

This bounty order is enough to show how cruel and vicious they are.

Those who trade orders are also trading for others.

On the surface, everyone maintains a strange peace, but in fact no one is trustworthy and everyone is just pretending.

The bounty order is of no use to Zhang Hao.

The reason why Zhang Hao asked Chen Lijiu for currency was simply because he wanted to use the money to avoid disaster and increase efficiency.

Using fists is easy, but you still have to fight after all, while using something like a bounty order can make the deal faster.

Zhang Hao pushed Chen Lijiu and motioned for him to lead the way.

"Boss, the market will be held in two or three days. Even if we go now, it will be useless."

Chen Lijiu said with a bitter expression.

Zhang Hao looked at him indifferently, without saying anything, just shaking his fingers.

When Chen Lijiu saw this, he was shocked and didn't dare to say another word. He hurriedly led the way.

Zhang Hao didn't say anything, but he could see the meaning behind Zhang Hao.

Either lead the way or die.

There is only this option.

Before going out, Zhang Hao specially took an oil lamp on the door.

The oil lamp was leaning against the door. Chen Lijiu tried his best to act indifferent, but Zhang Hao still noticed his nervousness.

This oil lamp is not ordinary.

The fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker, and after the oil lamp was lit, the fog could not get close within a space of about two or three meters around.

The biggest impact of the fog in the mountains is not that it blocks vision, but that it carries poisonous gas.

This oil lamp can not only illuminate the way ahead, but also prevent the spread of poison gas. It is truly a treasure.

No wonder Chen Lijiu was so nervous. With this thing walking at night, there is no need to worry about poisoning.

If it were him, he would also hide this thing.

The fog in the mountains became thicker and thicker. In the second half of the night, a hairy moon hung in the sky. The moonlight and the fog were entangled with each other, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere.

Chen Lijiu walked very carefully.

He occasionally looked back at Zhang Hao, his heart twitching with pain.

He had spent a huge amount of money to buy this oil lamp, but he didn't expect that it was so precious that he was reluctant to use it, and instead it was squandered by Zhang Hao.

However, at this moment, there was no time to care about much.

The two walked and stopped along the mountain road, and from time to time they heard the howling of evil ghosts in the mountains.

Zhang Hao suddenly stopped, looked at a dense forest on the mountain road, and said lightly:

"The whole mountain is bare, except for this place where there is a bamboo forest. Who lives here?"

Chen Lijiu was so frightened upon hearing this that he dared not speak.

Before Zhang Hao could speak again, a strange sound suddenly came from the front.

Bang bang bang!
The sound of bamboo being chopped continued to ring out. The sound was very rhythmic, like some strange axe chopping human bones.

Zhang Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly smiled and walked straight into the bamboo forest.

The sky became increasingly weird in the second half of the night, but there was no sound in the Valley of Evil.

Chen Lijiu was already extremely terrified, and when he saw Zhang Hao rushing in, he was immediately frightened. He wanted to go in but didn't dare to, so he could only stand outside and worry anxiously.

While he was struggling, Zhang Hao had already walked in.

The moment Zhang Hao entered the bamboo forest, the bamboos around him seemed to suddenly come alive, constantly entangled with each other, and instantly formed a bamboo wall, cutting off Zhang Hao's retreat.

Seeing this, Chen Lijiu took a breath and hurriedly stepped back.

In the bamboo forest.

Xiaomei and Jinmao both looked exhausted.

Behind them, several fans and anchors were terrified. When they first came to the Evil Valley, they were extremely excited and felt that they would definitely make money.

However, after experiencing round after round of shock, all he wanted now was to escape back into the secular world.

However, for some reason, although they were walking on the same road, they unknowingly walked into a bamboo forest.

They ran around in the bamboo forest like they were trapped in a maze. After getting lost several times, they were almost exhausted and huddled in a corner of the bamboo forest, hoping that the sun would rise soon.

Just when everyone was extremely exhausted, the golden-haired creature, who was originally half leaning against Xiaomei, suddenly trembled, and abruptly climbed up, with the dagger in his hand pointed in one direction, his face twisted with horror.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"Boss, don't scare us!"

The crowd, who had just seemed a little tired, was suddenly startled and hurried to his side.

When people are afraid, they will subconsciously gather in one place.

At this time, they just wanted to hide in one place and resist with the so-called strength in numbers.

There was an expression of extreme fear on the golden retriever's face.

The ferocity that had been suppressed deep in his heart was aroused once again.

I saw him holding a dagger, staring in one direction, and roaring suddenly.

"You all shut up, I can't hear you clearly."

The golden retriever's roar frightened everyone. They all covered their mouths and looked forward with wide eyes.

I saw a strange red light appear in the darkness in front of the bamboo forest.

In the red light, something seemed to be shaking and approaching them.

A light, dimly illuminated.

Everyone suddenly cried out in surprise, and saw a woman in a bright red robe holding an axe, chopping the bamboo forest with the axe in the angle between two bamboos not far in front of them.

The huge bamboo pole was cut off directly, and the bamboo fell to the ground shaking, and the dust immediately flew up.

What kind of monster is this?

Could it be a female ghost in red?
A female ghost holding an axe in the dead of night, what good could happen?

Everyone gasped and subconsciously wanted to escape.

Xiaomei was already extremely frightened, and sensing everyone's fear, she said tremblingly:
"My dear brothers, you said you would protect me. You must not leave me alone."

"Protect you? We can barely protect ourselves, how can we care about your life or death?"

Everyone complained in their hearts but did not say it out loud due to face.

"Just shut up, if it weren't for the trouble you caused, why would we be here?"

The golden retriever said through gritted teeth.

This trip was proposed by Xiaomei. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have come to a place like this.

Everyone's heartbeats quickened, and they were terrified to the extreme. If there was even the slightest abnormality, the team would immediately fall apart.

It was because he realized this that Golden Retriever did not scold Xiaomei too much.

The female ghost in red was getting closer.

Amidst the strange noises, the female ghost was less than ten meters away from them.

Everyone was on edge.

"It's three o'clock in the morning. I want to drink some blood."

The female ghost in red looked at everyone leisurely. When her eyes swept across one person, the murderous look on her face became more intense.

As an outsider in the Valley of Evil, she has a space of her own.

This bamboo forest was given to her by the Lord of the Evil Valley.

Everyone else could only hide in dilapidated wooden houses, and she was the only one who had a forest of several kilometers to herself.

However, this is both a privilege and a restriction.

The other party only allowed her to stay in the bamboo forest and not to go out.

At first, the female ghost thought this was a benefit. After all, the Lord of the Valley of Evil had fallen into a deep sleep. As long as he didn't wake up, she would not be restricted in what she could do.

However, when she actually entered the bamboo forest, she found that it was a trap.

There is a special formation in the bamboo forest. Under the blessing of this formation, one can make rapid progress during cultivation, but once a long time has passed, one will be unable to break away from the formation.

There are no outsiders in the Valley of Evil. Everyone knows the weirdness of this place, so even if they risk their lives, they will not rashly enter the bamboo forest.

The red-clothed female ghost knew very well that the Lord of the Valley of Evil was not a good person.

The real reason why he tricked me into this bamboo forest was just to use me as a tonic.

That year, she fought a fierce battle with the Lord of the Valley of Evil, and the Lord was seriously injured, but she also broke through her own bottleneck.

As soon as the other party finishes his retreat and comes out, he will be the first one to eat her.

During the time she was imprisoned in the bamboo forest, she had been extremely anxious, fearing that the Lord of the Evil Valley would wake up at any time.

However, there is always a way out.

Just when she thought she was cornered, unexpectedly several living people rushed in.

The blood from living people can help her break through her own limits and also help her solve the restrictions of the formation in the bamboo forest.

"I will only kill one person today. You can choose for yourselves."

The female ghost in red said slowly, with a strange smile on her lips.

These people have too much yang energy and a very strange aura.

For safety reasons, she could not let these people unite, but instead let them fight among themselves. Only in this way could she kill them without any effort.

Jinmao is an old hand and he immediately saw through the true intentions of the female ghost in red. However, the anchor boys around him are used to intrigue and subconsciously want to push one person out.

And the victim they pushed out was Xiaomei.

Xiaomei screamed, hugged the golden retriever's shoulders fiercely, and looked at the female ghost in horror.

"Everyone calm down, don't be scared by the female ghost! With so many of us together, the yang energy on our bodies can block the ghost energy, she won't dare to come close!"

The golden-haired man said coldly, holding Xiaomei in his arms, and pointing the dagger directly at the female ghost in red.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across the eyes of the red-clothed female ghost.

Someone actually saw through my intentions. This person deserves to die.

As she was thinking, footsteps suddenly sounded on the other side of the bamboo forest.

The female ghost in red was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look back.

What the hell is going on today?

In the past few years, not a single living person came in, but today two groups of people came together.

Thinking of this, her figure flashed and disappeared into nothingness, flying to the other side.

The ones here are trapped in a jar, it doesn't matter if we kill them later.

On the other side, something seems a little strange and needs to be checked immediately.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the female ghost disappear.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

everyone asked.

Hearing this, Jinmao said without thinking:

"Follow!"

They have no way to retreat, they can only charge forward! (End of this chapter)
