Mystery Leaks

Chapter 245 Forbidden Land
I was very confused, I knew that the Gu girl was lurking for a long time, and her purpose was ominous, but now that I found it, I found even more horrifying information.

"By the way, that Gu Master, did you say he has come?" After thinking about it, I asked.

If the tattooed man is a Gu master's subordinate or apprentice, and the tattooed man died indirectly at our hands, is the Gu master an enemy or a friend?

If it is an enemy, it is very dangerous.

Mrs. Wang doesn't know if it's because of lack of ability, lack of strength, or not bad nature. At present, apart from the tattooed man, has anyone killed anyone, but it's hard to say about the Gu masters from Miao Jiang.

If the tattooed man is a very important person to him, there will be massacres, and our situation will be extremely dangerous.

Hu Lai sent him two letters, describing the characteristics of the Gu worm on his body. He should have acted immediately after receiving the letters, so the second letter was returned by the post office because there was no such person found.

It means that he had already left the Gu village at that time, and calculated according to the time, it was enough to go back and forth several times.

"Accordingly, he shouldn't have come." Hu Lai shook his head, and said, "That Gu master has a relatively high status in their Gu village, and the tattooed man should be sent to stand in front of him after he smells it; otherwise, Wang's might not be so easy." Run away; Mrs. Wang killed the tattooed man, on the one hand, to get out of everyone's sight, and secondly, to kill the Gu Master's eyes and ears for information, even if the Gu Master feels something afterwards, he has to start the investigation again."

Cao Nan didn't take it seriously, and said, "Since we are from the Miao people, we should just be careful. It's not so easy to find out the news because foreigners are so conspicuous."

I nodded, and it was the same reason.

"Okay, this matter can only end here, take a step and take a step, the important thing right now is the matter on the mountain, we have been delayed for two days, tomorrow can't be later, some people may have already gone up .” Huang Mao changed the subject and returned to the previous business.

"It's been sunny for the past few days, and the east will be white tomorrow, so we'll start early," Hu Lai said.

Cao Nan and I nodded, Wang's matter is just an episode, we can only let it go if it is not resolved, she will definitely appear again.

……

At noon, the Feng family was finally able to enter the ruins of Wang's house. They searched for a long time, but found nothing related to the remains, and left slowly. In the afternoon, they went to the ancestral grave and began to move the ancestral grave.

At night, Cao Nan and I chatted. I was a little nervous at first, afraid that the Gu master behind the tattooed man would jump out, but nothing happened.

After knocking, we fell asleep with our clothes on, squinted for two hours, and when the east was pale, we rode a tricycle up the mountain.Although the temperature in the south is not high, it is damp and cold, and the icy wind blows on the body, making the whole body shiver from the cold.

After traveling for two hours and arriving at the North Field, the already frozen snot bubbles came out.

I'm pretty good, I'm angry, I can do nonsense, I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open, Huangmao and Cao Nan are almost stiff.Cao Nan repeatedly said that the next time he was killed, he would not ride these three jumpers and drive a pickup.

After getting off the bus, we left the mountain road and started trekking towards Jinpen Mountain, the main peak of Jinpenling Mountain. We had to rush back at night to make changes, and the time was tight.

Jinpen Mountain is basically an undeveloped semi-primitive forest area, full of mosquitoes and poisonous substances, but... all of this was solved by the cold winter wind.

The leaves of the trees fell, and the vision improved, and the mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, leeches and other things that could eat people disappeared.

We climbed very quickly, aiming at the place where Jinpen Mountain collapsed.

Both Hu Lai and Huang Mao are very experienced in climbing mountains and ridges, and they can always lead us to find the easiest way to climb, but even so, we still use ropes and iron hooks. In many places, there is no way at all.

At eight o'clock in the morning, we finally reached the position where we passed the foothills and reached the foot of the mountain.

"Someone is in front of us!" As he walked, Huang Mao's face changed slightly, but he didn't squat down, but walked forward quickly.

We didn't know why, so we immediately followed up and found that a bush in front had obvious signs of being chopped down, and there were still a few broken branches on the ground.

Hu Lai picked it up, glanced at the incision on it, and said, "The incision is very fresh, it was cut just now, and it won't be more than two hours old."

"Who could it be?" I wondered for a while.

Huang Mao carefully observed the footprints on the ground, and said: "There are at least three people. I don't know if they passed together or passed through one after another."

"We were delayed, but others didn't. Why did they walk ahead of us? Could it be someone from outside?" Cao Nan also asked strangely.

"There was a heavy rain just the day before yesterday, and the mountain was muddy and dangerous. It was normal that they didn't come yesterday. It was a day in the sun yesterday, and we just went up the mountain today. We are not too late." Hu Lai said.

I nodded, that's the reason.

The south is full of red soil, which is very viscous. If it is not dry, the mud on the feet will be like snowballs.

"No matter who it is, we have to hurry up!" Huang Mao said.

So we speeded up and climbed up the mountain as fast as possible. This climb took more than two hours.

Looking up at the top of the main peak, the clouds cover the fog, and the sun can't penetrate that area at all. The flowing clouds are like a piece of pure white silk, swaying left and right with the wind, but never leave the mountain, making the mountain like a wonderland.

Occasionally, when the clouds clear and the fog hides, you can still see white snow.

The main peak of Jinpen Mountain is very high above sea level, but fortunately our destination is not the top of the mountain, but the waist area in the middle. From a distance, we can see the exposed rocks there, as well as pieces of crooked trees.

When the sun was three poles, we finally reached the periphery of that area.

Looking through the binoculars, I found that the collapsed place is very strange. Although the rocks are exposed, they are not very fresh. The trees are crooked, but the boundaries are clear and very regular.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a collapse, but a sudden jump, showing a scene that is incompatible with the surrounding environment, without any transition in the middle.

Surrounded by bushes and shrubs, the central location is a land of bare rocks, not to mention trees, there is not even a root of grass.

In the center of the area, there is actually a very clear water pool, condescending, the water pool reflects the blue sky and white clouds, like a picture scroll, quiet, far away, and the ancient well is not disturbed.

"This... this doesn't look like a landslide." Hu Lai said.

"It really doesn't look like it." Huang Mao frowned deeply.

"But the problem is, I haven't observed such a place before, and I can see it clearly with a telescope at the foot of the mountain; how did it come here?" Cao Nan wondered.

I am also very puzzled. These exposed rocks are very old at first glance, and the traces of wind and water erosion are obvious, and there is no fresh soil and obvious fracture marks of landslides at all.

"It feels like it came out of nowhere." Hu Lai muttered.

"Wait, this place was originally covered by a magic circle, and then after a long time, the magic circle collapsed, so it was suddenly revealed?" Huangmao guessed.

When Hu Lai heard it, he immediately took out the compass, muttered something, and shook it a few times in a specific direction, only to see that the pointer on it began to rotate, and there would be an obvious pause when facing the fixed directions.

"You guessed it right, there used to be a magic circle here, but now it's collapsed, revealing what's inside the magic circle, which is the pool." Huang Mao said.

"That means there is something in the pool." Cao Nan's face changed.

My heart trembled, since this place was covered by a magic formation, it must have been a long time ago, and there must be a secret that the magic formation wanted to hide under the calm pool.

The earthquake that day, perhaps caused by the collapse of the magic circle, can no longer be described as big, but terrifying. Jinpen Township on the mountain road felt the earthquake for two or three hours.

And what's weird is that this pool has no source and no exit, just lying there quietly, it doesn't feel like a pool, but a pool of amber, which will not evaporate or flow away, let alone a source, Live forever.

"Shall we go there now?" Cao Nan asked.

"Don't worry, someone will come up ahead of us, let's have a look." Huang Mao shook his head.

Hu Lai also said: "We have exhausted a lot of physical strength, we just need to take a rest, there must be people around here, nine out of ten have already spotted us."
