Chapter 120 The Decisive Battle at the Peak of Helan (5)
Han Jiang didn't answer him, walked to the bed and bent down, there was nothing under the bed!The suitcase that was originally placed under the bed disappeared, and Han Jiang was stunned.Tang Feng asked in shock: "What's going on?"

Han Jiang thought for a moment, then stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the window.He looked out the window first, but there was no movement, and then gently pushed open the half-covered window. "Look here!" He shone the flashlight on the windowsill.

"Floating soil!" Tang Feng saw a lot of floating soil on the windowsill.

"No! To be precise, it's footprints, and it's obviously not left by one person." Han Jiang said while poking his head out of the window carefully, "I'm sure there were at least two people in the room just now."

"Two people?"

"Yes! Of course, it's not these two people that make me more surprised, but so much dust on the windowsill."

"What does this mean?"

"I also checked the window sill yesterday, and there was no floating soil on it. If the person living in the east room came in and out through the window as we speculated before, then he must have wiped the floating soil intentionally after each entry and exit."

"Well, it should be like this. But this time..."

"But this time there was so much floating soil on the window sill, coupled with the strange noise just now, and the suitcase disappeared, I predicted that something must have happened, or... something will happen."

Speaking of this, Han Jiang's eyes lit up.He jumped over the window sill and said to Tang Feng, "Come with me!"

After finishing speaking, Han Jiang jumped off the second floor.Tang Feng was not as good as him, so he hesitated again and again, and finally closed his eyes and jumped down.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Tang Feng regretted it, and complained: "I can't run around with you anymore, I must be tossed to death. Where are you singing?"

"I have a premonition that something will happen!" Han Jiang said as he walked quickly up the mountain road, Tang Feng had no choice but to follow.In the dark night, the two galloped quickly in the silent mountains.

After walking several hundred meters, Han Jiang stopped suddenly, turned around and stared at a dense forest beside him.Tang Feng also stopped and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"I smell a bloody smell." Han Jiang's voice was not loud, but loud.

"The smell of blood?" Tang Feng was startled, only feeling his scalp tingling and the soles of his feet feeling weak.

Han Jiang pulled him up and walked into the dense forest.After walking a few steps, Tang Feng tripped over something, which was soft and seemed to still be warm.The two were startled, and turned on the flashlight to check together. It was a person, and there was a person lying on the ground!

"Like a woman!" Tang Feng muttered.Han Jiang has already turned the woman whose back is facing him, a blonde beauty.

"Fanny!" Tang Feng cried out, it turned out to be her!

"Why did this woman appear here?" Han Jiang was also shocked.He bent down to check Fanny's breath, which was dead.Looking down, bright red blood was gurgling from her chest.

"The 7.62mm silent pistol shot at close range, and killed him with one shot!" Han Jiang quickly made a judgment.

"The body is still soft, it looks like it was just shot."

"The killer is nearby?!"

Han Jiang's words made Tang Feng nervous.Han Jiang pulled out his gun and looked around. In the dark forest, there was only the sound of wind blowing.

Five minutes later, when Han Jiang walked around the small forest and made sure that he and Tang Feng were not in danger, he returned to Fanny's body.

"What's going on? Fanny was with Stephen every time she appeared before, this time..."

"It's the same this time." Han Jiang interrupted Tang Feng.

"What? Did you find Stephen?"

"No, but I smell his breath. When we arrive at Helan Mountain, our old friend will not fail to appear."

"You mean the man who lives in the east room?"

"I'm not sure, but the possibility has been there from the start."

"So you said that the footprints of two people were found in the east room just now. Where's the suitcase?"

"I've searched, but it's not here. It should have been taken by the man who killed Fanny."

"Then why did Fanny die? Could it be that Stephen killed her?"

"Who knows? Maybe it was dog eat dog, the spoils were not evenly distributed, maybe it was more complicated than we thought."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Call the police tomorrow morning, and then we will go into the mountain as originally planned."

The two returned to the inn in frustration, and Tang Feng suddenly remembered something: "Fannie's death made us have to study that treasure map again. If this treasure map really belongs to Stephen, the red circle on it will have a lot to say gone."

"You mean that Stephen is also looking for the Black Eagle Temple, and the red circle on the treasure map represents the Black Eagle Temple?!" Han Jiang said in surprise.

Tang Feng nodded: "That's the only way to explain it. But there are still many questions, whether the red circle represents the Black Eagle Temple or other treasure places, why we didn't see the specific route to get there on the map, There is no written description? I really don’t understand, what kind of treasure map is this?”

"Does that dotted line represent the route?"

"Even if the dotted line represents the route to the red circle, it is useless. There is no reference around the dotted line, and it is blurred and intermittent. No one can find the way to the red circle only through this so-called treasure map." .”

Han Jiang couldn't explain all this, so he chose to remain silent.The two of them worked hard for most of the night, they were already exhausted, and they had to go on the road the next day, so they had no choice but to fall asleep first.

[Section [-] Helan Shenshan]

Until the next morning, in order not to disturb the morale of the army, Han Jiang did not tell others what happened last night.However, he saw something strange in Yelena's eyes, maybe what happened last night could not escape her eyes.

Han Jiang secretly called the police, and a group of people left in a hurry before the police arrived.

After driving forward for more than an hour, the flat and wide dirt road disappeared.Tang Feng jumped out of the car and found that they had come to a mountain depression, and there were three trails on the left, middle and right in front of them, winding up and extending towards the mountain.

"Misha's notes didn't say which way to go up the mountain!" Makarov said.

Han Jiang looked around for a long time but couldn't make up his mind, but Tang Feng pointed to the narrow path on the right side that was covered by bushes and weeds and said, "I think we should go this way."

"why?"

"Misha's notes clearly stated that when he and Liang Yunjie visited Helan Mountain in the 20s, the Black Eagle Temple was already deserted, and now that so many years have passed, I think it will only become more desolate and uninhabited. Of the three roads in front of us, the road on the left and the middle should be frequently walked by people, so it is not covered by weeds; while the road on the right has been covered by shrubs and weeds, obviously few people walk from this side, I think maybe this road That's the way to the Black Eagle Temple."

"Ke Misha also said in his notes that there should be a village near the Black Vulture Temple, which is not completely inaccessible." Xu Renyu retorted.

"There may have been a village back then, but so many years have passed, and things have changed. Who would still live in this deep mountain? If it was a place frequented by people, then the secret of the Black Vulture Temple may have been revealed to the world long ago. .” Tang Feng said.

"Who knows? Don't you have a treasure map?" Xu Renyu reminded Tang Feng.

"I don't see how that picture can help us. Let's not be disturbed by it, and go according to the original plan." Tang Feng said firmly.

Han Jiang nodded, feeling that Tang Feng's analysis made sense.So the five of them took the necessary items and began to climb Helan Mountain on foot along the faint path on the right.

After walking hundreds of meters along the trail, Tang Feng, who was walking in front, suddenly found that the road under his feet disappeared: "Why is the road broken?" Tang Feng continued to grope forward in doubt, stepping on the thick grass, staggering Almost fell down.

Xu Renyu said: "It seems that this road really doesn't work. Tang Feng, you made the wrong choice."

Unwilling to give up, Tang Feng probed forward again, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, until he probed for 50 meters in the wild grass and bushes, only to see a vaguely winding path.He turned around and shouted to the others: "There is a road here. It seems that many climbers came here and thought there was no way, so they retreated."

When everyone rushed up, Xu Renyu still had doubts: "Is this the right road? Is it connected to the road that went up the mountain just now?"

Tang Feng turned around and looked, the uphill trail they had walked just now had been buried in the weeds without a trace.Looking ahead again, a large dark forest appeared, and he couldn't help feeling tense, he didn't know where the road under his feet led, but since he had already come here, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

Han Jiang agreed with Tang Feng's judgment, Xu Renyu couldn't say anything, so he had to follow Tang Feng into the forest from the narrow path under his feet.In the boundless forest, towering ancient trees with luxuriant branches and leaves shaded the sunlight. When people walked into it, it seemed as if they had entered the night from day to night in an instant. Only a little sunlight was projected from the gaps in the treetops, showing them the direction.

Tang Feng was worried that the road under his feet would become narrower and more blurred, and then he would be completely cut off in this boundless black forest.But the situation he was worried about didn't happen. Maybe it was God's blessing, the road under Tang Feng's feet became wider and clearer.They walked out of the Black Forest smoothly and came to a bush.

The road under his feet was still extending up the mountain, Tang Feng could clearly feel the elevation rise, and the vegetation on both sides of the road was also changing.Walking out of the bushes, everyone came to a large alpine meadow, and the road under their feet suddenly disappeared.

Xu Renyu was in a hurry: "I said we went the wrong way! This is good, we have climbed so high, the road is gone. This is a ghostly place where no grass grows. It is getting dark. Do you want us to sleep here at night?" place?"

Tang Feng also became anxious. Why did the road that was clear just now suddenly disappear?He turned around and asked Makarov, "Old Ma, Misha was on the expedition team back then, did he describe their expedition to Mount Helan to you?"

Makarov pondered for a moment, and said: "I've been thinking about the scientific expedition team for the past two days, but it's been too long, and I really can't remember what Misha told me. What."

"There is no communication signal here, it seems that we have lost contact with the outside world again!" Han Jiang said suddenly.

Everyone fell silent, Tang Feng looked disappointedly at the crowd, and then at the vast meadow in front of him.Suddenly, something moved in the grass a hundred meters away. "Crag sheep!" Tang Feng exclaimed.

A strong blue sheep suddenly jumped out of the waist-deep grass and ran forward. "Follow the blue sheep, there must be a way." After finishing speaking, Tang Feng broke into the grass and chased the blue sheep all the way.Everyone also jumped into the waist-deep grass.

While running wildly, Tang Feng couldn't see the road ahead clearly, fell down several times, and got up several times.Suddenly his feet swayed again, and this time when he stood up again, the blue sheep had disappeared from his sight.

There was a burst of mist rising from the mountain, Tang Feng was a little puzzled, and subconsciously took two steps forward with his legs, but he didn't want to but stepped on the air.

Tang Feng's eyes darkened, thinking that the fall would be a disaster, but a sharp pain woke him up.This is where?He opened his eyes and saw himself lying on a protruding cliff, with a cliff five or six meters high on one side and an unfathomable cliff on the other.It seems that this protruding cliff saved him, otherwise his life would be here.

Calls from Han Jiang and others came from above, and Tang Feng quickly replied, "I'm here."

Han Jiang poked his head out on the cliff: "I thought you must be doomed this time."

"I'm destined!" Tang Feng insisted.

"I advised you to turn around and go back. There is no way here. Fortunately, you ran around with a blue sheep and almost lost your life." Xu Renyu also showed half of his head on it.

"Can you still come up?" Han Jiang shouted from above.

Tang Feng looked around and said, "Why should I come up?"

"Are you going to stay here forever?"

"The blue sheep disappeared from here just now. I think there must be a way here." Tang Feng shouted at Han Jiang.

"Is there a road on the cliff?" Han Jiang hesitated.

"You're crazy!" Xu Renyu also shouted.

Tang Feng ignored them, and groped to both sides of the cliff. The west cliff broke off within a few steps.He turned back again and groped towards the cliff to the east. In a piece of weeds, a narrow path loomed: "There is indeed a way here."

Tang Feng urged Han Jiang and the others to come down too, but the crowd couldn't resist him, so they had to follow the relatively gentle place on the edge of the cliff and descend to the protruding cliff with the help of ropes.

It was getting dark, and thick clouds and mist rose from the mountains. Tang Feng walked ahead cautiously.He couldn't see what was three meters away, so he could only keep his body as close as possible to the cliff beside him.Suddenly, on the path beside the cliff, he saw clear blue sheep hoof prints. "The blue sheep really walked from here." Tang Feng murmured.

Tang Feng believed that the naughty rock sheep would definitely lead them to a road.But to our disappointment, following the footprints left by blue sheep, the trail became narrower and more rugged as they walked forward, and finally disappeared.

It was getting dark gradually, and everyone began to complain about Tang Feng.Tang Feng was flustered, and the pace of his feet quickened unconsciously.

Fortunately, the cliff protruding from the edge of the cliff has not been broken.Thinking this way in Tang Feng's heart, he quickened his pace again.But when the mist three meters away in front of them cleared, what appeared in front of them was a sudden rock wall. Could it be that the cliff under their feet broke down here?

First came Xu Renyu's complaints: "I said this road will not work, you don't believe it. It's all right now, it's getting dark, and we're going to pass on this cliff tonight."

"No." Tang Feng was still stubborn, not believing that he would make a mistake in judgment.He and Han Jiang carefully inspected the abrupt rock wall in front of them, and the rock wall blocked their way like a wall.

"How did that blue sheep get there?" Tang Feng looked at the rock wall and muttered.

"The blue sheep can pass, but we may not be able to pass."

"Why?" Tang Feng heard that Han Jiang's words seemed to mean something.

"I think that cute blue sheep must have passed through here."

Han Jiang pointed at the boulder protruding from the outer edge of the rock wall. Tang Feng only took a look, and then took a breath.Under that boulder is an abyss, can the blue sheep really jump over this boulder?
Han Jiang looked at Tang Feng, "How is it? Dare to climb over?"

"Climb over? You mean to climb over this boulder? You must be crazy!" Before Tang Feng could answer, Xu Renyu called out first.

"Doctor, don't be so excited! Since it was Tang Feng who brought us here, he was the one who showed us how to climb first." Han Jiang actually had a smile on his face.

Tang Feng's face was extremely ugly, he felt his heart beating faster, and suddenly felt a collapse.But in the end he was still unwilling to admit defeat. He blushed and yelled at Han Jiang: "Climb! Climb! However, I have climbed over, and you have to come over."

"As long as you can pass, we can pass." Xu Renyu encouraged Tang Feng.

Tang Feng had no choice but to be fully armed, tied a long rope around his waist, and prepared to start climbing the boulder in front of him. "I said, why are you so relieved of me? If I stop here, you will never find a partner as good as me." Tang Feng couldn't be angry when he saw Han Jiang's calm expression. Call one.

Han Jiang smiled: "You were trained by me, and I am very relieved of you. This little problem is not difficult for you."

Tang Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he climbed up the boulder protruding from the cliff without speaking.Han Jiang was calm on the surface, but when Tang Feng slowly disappeared from sight, he couldn't help clenching the rope in his hand.

Tang Feng took every small step on the boulder very carefully. When he confirmed that what he was stepping on was indeed a cliff, he cut a shallow hole in the boulder with a climbing hammer.Repeatedly like this, moving forward with difficulty... The cold wind howled in his ears, and it was pitch black under his feet, so he didn't dare to look down.When a gust of wind hit, he closed his eyes and clung tightly to the rock wall, and only dared to take a small step forward after the wind stopped for a while.

Finally, Tang Feng felt that he was about to climb over this boulder. He had already circled behind the boulder and turned his head to look behind the boulder. It was pitch black.He turned on the flashlight, only to be sure that his judgment was correct. There was a large flat area on the cliff behind the boulder.He didn't know what would be there, but at least there was a place to stay.
