"Brother Chen, there is no way to find it like this. How about...we call more people?" Wu Bing suggested to Chen Ran hesitantly after he slapped to death a leech that had just stuck to his calf.

They wandered around in this boundless jungle for another two days. Although he wished to follow Chen Ran like this all the time, he couldn't find what Chen Ran was looking for after searching for a few days. Relaxed mood.

In fact, Wu Bing wanted to say this sentence to Chen Ran a long time ago. He knew that Chen Ran was looking for a snake when he was still in the city, and Chen Ran also told him that the snake was familiar with the smell of Chen Ran. As long as they get close to the snake, the other party will find them according to the smell, but let's not talk about how long the Nujiang River is, how big are the mountains and forests on the Nujiang River, just say that the Nujiang River has many diversions, who Knowing where he was washed away, and expecting the two of them to find it, isn't that looking for a needle in a haystack?

"What's wrong? Impatient?"

At this time, Chen Ran was not discouraged at all, not only was he not discouraged, but he was very excited. What Wu Bing didn't know was that he had already sensed the existence of the blood cup last night.

That kind of feeling is very strange, suddenly there is a feeling of blood connection, just like two people standing together and holding out one hand, I don't need to feel it and I can know where it is naturally. Just like your own hand.

That is to say, it has become a part of one's own body.

This feeling is exactly the wonderful spiritual connection between the blood cup and its owner.

In the method of refining the blood cup obtained by Chen Ran, it even said that the blood cup has been nourished to a certain extent, and this kind of spiritual connection with the owner can be sensed even if it is thousands of miles away.

The current Chen Ran is obviously unable to do this, and although he sensed the existence of the blood cup, he couldn't sense the specific location of the blood cup, and he didn't even know which direction the blood cup was in, and how far it was from here. He just sensed the existence of the blood cup and knew that the blood cup was not far away from him.

"of course not……"

Seeing that Chen Ran was still in the mood to joke with him at this time, Wu Bing simply didn't think too much about it, anyway, he just followed along.

"How far have we traveled today?"

Chen Ran looked around, and at a glance, in the jungle, apart from trees, there were all kinds of vines like thorns, and there were puddles one after another. This kind of road can only be walked for more than ten miles in a day. And they set off at eight o'clock in the morning today, and they have been walking for almost five hours now.

"It should be five or six miles away. It should be easier to walk to the big mountain ahead."

Wu Bing can't say how far they have traveled, but can only give a general idea. After all, although they have been walking, they are walking too slowly. It is like the swamp in front of them. The two of them just walked through the water , It's only strange if it's fast.

Chen Ran nodded. There was a steep mountain in front of him. It is said that walking over the mountain should be slower, but now they are eager to just let them climb the mountain. There is no need to wear these swamps when you are on the mountain.

The two had eaten not long ago, so their physical strength was quite strong. While supporting each other, they walked through the swamp. During this process, they naturally encountered a lot of poisonous substances such as snakes and insects.

However, both of them had insect-repellent and snake-repelling potions on their bodies, and ordinary snakes and insects basically did not dare to approach them.

After walking forward for about two hours, they finally passed through the swamps completely. Before reaching the foot of the big mountain, the road on the ground gradually dried up, especially on the ground. It grows a kind of green grass, which is very soft to step on.

And here, although Chen Ran couldn't sense how far the blood cup was from him, in which direction he was, he could sense that the blood cup was getting closer and closer to him.

After finishing at the foot of the mountain, Chen Ran and the two continued to climb the mountain without stopping.Although the mountain was quite steep, it was much easier for the two of them. They reached the top of the mountain in less than half an hour.

"Ah... there are still people living there!" Wu Bing couldn't help exclaiming as soon as he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the other side of the mountain.

Chen Ran couldn't help being surprised when he saw it. This side of the mountain was a huge valley, and the other directions of the valley were full of very steep cliffs from a distance. Only the valley The direction of the back hill is relatively gentle, and some houses built on the hillside can be clearly seen at a glance from the back hill.

It’s a little far away, Wu Bing can only see the houses built over there without binoculars, but he can’t see what they look like. Chen Ran has better eyesight, so he can see that those houses are all wooden houses standing on the mountain. People feel a bit like a cottage in the mountains in ancient times or a cottage inhabited by ethnic minorities.

"Let's go and have a look." Looking around with a telescope, Chen Ran said to Wu Bing that although he had a surface map of the Nujiang River, it was actually just an approximate line, which was said to be estimated. So he wanted to go to this village, which was probably inhabited by ethnic minorities, to inquire about it, lest he go in the wrong direction and have to turn around and look for it again.

Naturally, Wu Bing had no objection. After staying in the jungle for so many days, he was exhausted long ago, so when he heard Chen Ran's proposal, he immediately picked up the backpack that had just been placed on the ground, with a look of great interest. look.

Although Wu Bing is a soldier, he has been in the guard since he joined the army. Apart from seeing people, he actually doesn't have much experience with the chief. The time he spent with Chen Ran completely overturned his understanding of the situation. The cognition of this world made him especially interested in these mysterious and strange things now.

They are now on the top of the mountain on the side of the cottage, so there is no need to go down the mountain, just go around the top of the mountain, but before the two of them made their way to the back of the mountain, they saw a scene that surprised them.

"what happened?"

Looking in the direction of the stockade, Wu Bing stopped abruptly and asked in surprise.

"on fire!"

Chen Ran was also taken aback. He saw a column of black smoke suddenly rising from the direction of the cottage that Houshan and the others looked at. If it wasn't on fire, what else could be going on?

The cottage was on fire. Although Chen Ran and the others were surprised, they were not surprised. After all, fires in the mountains and forests are a normal thing, but what made them strange was that after this column of black smoke rose, it was followed by places one after another. There was black smoke.

This is someone setting fire!

Chen Ran and Wu Bing looked at each other, and they couldn't help being very surprised. Although this place is remote, but it is still a legal society anyway, why would someone directly set fire to the village? They hit it.

I don't know whether it was because of watching too much TV or other reasons. At this moment, Chen Ran suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Could this fire have something to do with...?

Although their hearts were full of doubts, after looking at each other, the two did not dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed to the direction of the back mountain.

Originally, the two of them were just walking quickly towards the back mountain, but now they are rushing away. No matter what the situation is over there, when encountering such a thing, it is always good for them to rush there as soon as possible. Burning down the house is of course the best thing. If someone deliberately set the fire on fire, it is also good to help the villagers save people and put out the fire.

Although there is no jungle road on the top of the mountain, it is easier to walk, but as the saying goes, "Watching the mountain and running to death", although Chen Ran and the others could see the direction of the back mountain at a glance from where they were just now, they ran at full speed with their footsteps. After more than 30 minutes, it was only half of the run.

And in the process, the two of them also saw with their own eyes the scene from the black smoke rising from the cottage to being submerged in a thick fire, and then the jungle around the cottage was also burning.

By the time Chen Ran and the others ran to the top of the mountain at the back of the cottage and flew down from the top of the mountain along a opened mountain path, the entire cottage was almost burnt down, and the jungle around the cottage was almost burnt out, and the flames spread. It gradually went out on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.

And at this time, Chen Ran was the first to notice something was wrong. Normally, whether it was a fire or someone deliberately set the fire, the cottage at this moment should be in chaos. However, they were about to run to the cottage, but Didn't hear any noise.

In addition to the sound of the gradually extinguishing fire burning and the sound of the breeze blowing, there were no other sounds.

This is clearly not right!

But at this time, Chen Ran didn't care too much about it. At this time, he had already left Wu Bing far behind. The scene was stunned.

Chen Ran stared blankly at this village, which was obviously inhabited by ethnic minorities, even if Wu Bing ran to his side out of breath, he didn't react at all.

"Brother Chen, you are really running..."

Chen Ran ran faster than Wu Bing, and when Chen Ran ran here, he was almost breathless and sweaty, but Wu Bing ran panting. He ran to Chen Ran without looking up, and put his hands on his hands His legs were bent, his head was lowered, and he gasped heavily. While panting and talking to Chen Ran, he naturally raised his head, but before he finished speaking, he also saw The scene in the stockade stopped abruptly as soon as the words came to his lips.

Wu Bing was also stunned by the scene in his village, and even forgot to take a breath for a while.

The two of them didn't speak as if their acupuncture points had been tapped, they just stared blankly at the stockade in front of them.

I saw the bluestone road inside the mountain gate of the stockade, on the stone table in the courtyard, on the side of the courtyard wall made of stones, and under the stone steps of the mountain gate where they were. The waist was directly cut into the upper and lower halves of the extremely tragic corpse, plus the already sticky bright red blood on the ground...

All of this is so dumbfounding and shocking!
