Chapter 214 The Legend of the Treasure
baby?

I immediately stopped and said in surprise: "What baby? What do you mean, I just want to find my partner, where did you get this baby..."

The strange man was stunned for a moment, his eyes revealed disbelief, he suddenly lowered his head and closed his eyes and said, "Let's go."

It's really inexplicable, I gave him a strange look, smiled at him, and continued to walk into the stone room.

"stop."

He yelled again from behind, and I turned my head again. He pointed to the entrance of the passage and hissed: "Get out of here, otherwise, you will die."

I pretended to hesitate and said, "I'm just going in to have a look. In case they come in out of curiosity and faint due to lack of oxygen, or are also injured by the attack of the big rat just now, I can save them. If they No, it’s not too late to go out, besides, this place looks like a tomb, so it’s probably not too big.”

The strange man's face twitched slightly, as if he was smiling wryly, but then he returned to his cold face, and said: "The one who went in ahead is already dead, if you want to go in, you will die too."

I immediately widened my eyes, horrified in my heart, almost as if a bucket of cold water was poured down my head, he said that the person who went in in front was already dead? !

"Who died, when did he die, how did he die, tell me clearly..." I rushed over recklessly, grabbed his clothes, and asked loudly, even trembling slightly.

"Many, many people, all dead, all dead..."

A strange look suddenly appeared on the strange man's face, and then he opened his mouth wide and laughed like a maniac, but his voice was hoarse and harsh, and the scars on his face were distorted. This smile was really indescribably weird and ugly .

I frowned, let go, and calmed myself down. He laughed for a long time, then suddenly stopped laughing, rolled his eyes, and said strangely: "It seems that you are a good person, alas, only you are a good person... "

He said these two sentences inexplicably, then fell silent, and suddenly said: "Actually, I want to save you..."

I am stunned.

Next, the strange man told me that he is actually the guardian of the mountain here, and his duty is to rescue those who accidentally trespass into the mountain. As for those who come with malicious intentions, he always ignores them.

In his intermittent narration, I slowly pieced together the truth of this matter...

There is a legend in this mountain. A long time ago, the exact year is unknown. There was a small village in the mountain, living a life of seclusion, like a paradise.

Many years later, a herb picker went into the mountain and found this small village. Later, for some reason, rumors gradually spread from the outside world, saying that there is a paradise in the mountain. For many years, it has been dilapidated and uninhabited, and the countless treasures that were brought into the deep mountains back then have piled up like mountains and become unowned treasures. If someone can find them, they can make a fortune.

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts. Although no one knows the truth of the rumors, there are still people who would rather believe it and venture into the mountains to find treasures. At the beginning, people didn't believe it, but when they saw someone going up the mountain, they were immediately moved, for fear of being preempted by others. , So an inexplicable treasure hunting craze suddenly surged, and countless people rushed into the mountain desperately.

At that time, a hunter surnamed Chang who lived at the foot of the mountain advised everyone not to be obsessed with money, because he has been in the mountain all year round, and he knows that there are vicious beasts and big snakes in the mountain, which are very dangerous. Many people have been in danger in the mountain, and the treasure said, It's just a misty thing, so why risk your life for a mere rumor?

Unexpectedly, although the Orion was kind enough to persuade him, no one listened to him, only thinking that he was meddling in his own business, or wanted to steal the treasure for himself, so they still rushed into the mountain one after another.

In this way, many years have passed slowly, and the matter of the treasure is still unscathed, but the people who go hunting for the treasure never return.

As more and more people disappeared, people became more and more disappointed. At the same time, the mountain gradually became a forbidden place, synonymous with death and mystery, and this rumor gradually faded away.

But even so, there are still people who come here from time to time, coveting the treasures in the mountains. The descendants of the frequent hunter followed the legacy of their ancestors, and have taken root and lived here since then, in order to persuade those greedy people to go astray.

At this time, the strange man in front of me is already countless generations of descendants of Orion.

This strange man has been living in the mountains for decades, because he encountered evil beasts in the mountains when he was young and almost died, leaving a terrible scar on his face, so he became more withdrawn and stopped going down the mountain. Years have passed, causing him to have trouble speaking now.

And when he saw me today, he saw that I was young and thought it was a mistake, but when he heard that I had a companion, he immediately became suspicious, and then he wanted to attack me, but he just wanted to trap me and ask a question. After all, I didn't expect that I injured my arm instead, and had no choice but to escape into the ancient tomb, so the scene just happened.
After hearing what he said, I realized that he didn't mean to harm me, but just wanted to prevent others from entering the dangerous place, but what does the small mountain village in the story have to do with this ancient tomb?The so-called dangerous place, is it the ancient tomb or the small village?
This weird person should be called Chang Orion now, he talked about these things incoherently, and then he was silent, murmured softly, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know what he said, the whole person seemed to have fallen into memory among.

I looked around, frowned and said: "Uncle Chang, you have lived in this mountain for a long time, what danger is there in this ancient tomb, and that village, did it really exist? Don't get me wrong, I am not interested in treasures." Interest, to be honest, I'm a person who can't live for a few years, I don't even have the slightest desire for money, I just hope that my companions are okay, uh, you really haven't seen them?"

He slowly came back to his senses, looked at me and said, "Just now, not long ago, someone had a fight with that big snake."

I hurriedly asked who that person was, and he said, just before I came, a man encountered the big snake in the valley. He followed the sound to rescue him, but heard several gunshots, and the valley was like a landslide. Usually, a person then rushes out of the valley and goes up the hillside, but he sees that the person is very skilled and armed with a gun, so he doesn't show his face, because in his thinking, anyone like this is not a good person, even if he goes In the deep mountains, they were also sent to death.

He lurked in the forest for a while, and when he saw no movement, he wanted to go back. Unexpectedly, at this moment, I ran into the valley again. Seeing that I was young, he hurried over, but happened to meet the big snake Chasing, so I dropped the rope in time, which saved me up.

After hearing this, I immediately understood that the person he was talking about was probably the policeman this morning. He must have also followed the cat slave here, searched in the mountains, and accidentally walked into the valley, the territory of the big snake, and then Then a human-snake battle started, and I managed to escape in the end. Unexpectedly, I went in again at this time.

Now that I think about it, I really have lingering fears. The pools of blood at the bottom of the valley must be mostly the big snake who was injured by the gunshot. I went there when I was so angry. Fortunately, I ran fast at that time and met this regular hunter again. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I don't think that I have the ability to deal with a ten-meter-long python with my bare hands.

The matter has been clarified, and the policeman also came to the mountain. Although Nangong Feiyan and Mo Xiaobai's whereabouts are still unknown, it is certain that most of them are also in the mountain, but I haven't met them yet.

I looked into the depths of the stone room, thinking about these things, and just couldn't think of a reason. I accidentally lowered my head, and just saw the corpse of the giant rat that I killed. Suddenly, my heart moved, and I hurriedly asked Chang Orion: "Uncle Chang , did you come here often before?"

He nodded slowly and said, "When I'm bored, I'll come down too, but if you don't go far, you'll get lost here."

"Then, when you came down before, have you ever seen such a big mouse?" I asked again, and he thought for a while and said, "There are no here, but there are some farther away. If I meet them, I will come back. It's all right." .”

I understood what he meant. He meant that there are usually no such rats here, only if you go farther away, and if you meet him, he will come back, so there is no danger.

However, just after he came down today, he encountered this kind of thing and even attacked people. What is the reason for this?
I thought to myself, this is probably because someone entered the ancient tomb and disturbed these mutated rats!

That's right, it's probably like this, otherwise, according to what he said just now, he came down many times without any problems, so there is no reason, something happened suddenly this time, there must be some changes in this ancient tomb.

"Someone came from the ancient tomb." I said suddenly, and at the same time glanced at him, watching the change in his expression.Chang Orion was slightly taken aback, stood up with a hunting knife in his hand, listened to the movement, looked at me suspiciously, and said, "Is it your partner?"

"I don't know." I shook my head, "But no matter who it is, as long as someone comes in here, there will be clues. Uncle Chang, I want to go in and look for it. Don't you mind?"

After I finished asking, he lowered his head, and it took a long time before he raised his head, as if he had made up his mind, and was about to talk to me, but at this moment, a few soft sounds suddenly came from the nearby stone wall. knocking sound.

"Duk, tuk."
