After a few minutes, the flames dissipated, but the shroud was still intact.

"Tsk!" Li Mo put the pistol back into his waist and quickly threw the shroud from Tongtian Road to the edge of the cliff.

Then without saying a word, he quickly rushed towards the top of the mountain with a panicked expression, leaving everyone lingering in the same place at a loss.

"What is he doing! He actually threw away the only clue! Does he not want us to know the cause of death?"

"Why are you running so fast on Tongtian Road? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? This is not an ordinary road. The faster you run, the faster you die..."

Tongtian Road

Chang Le paused for a second, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed Li Mo regardless of his ancestors' experience in climbing the Tongtian Road.

Everyone looked at each other, a few men in black chased towards Changle without hesitation, a few people chose to follow Li Mo, and most of them continued to move forward slowly at the original speed.

The sudden strangeness made everyone avoid the corpse for fear of violating a taboo.

When everyone turned the corner, the dead body suddenly stood up again, its body shaking uncontrollably and shaking the red rope.

The eye-catching red rope became paler under the sunlight, and the color on it faded at an extremely fast speed, as if it was attracting something obscene.

The shriveled and rotten human face gradually deformed, the hair on the body grew rapidly, the huge body began to shrink, and an obvious hunchback appeared...

The mouth bulges into a pointed mouth, and the beard lengthens into tiny cat whiskers.

Gray hair grows on the back of the head.

"Brother Mingyue! Brother Mingyue! Run slower. What happened?"

Chang Le finally caught up with Li Mo and asked breathlessly.

Li Mo had a straight face and said gloomily: "Don't you think it's weird for someone to wear such thick clothes in this summer? And he also wears a hat to cover his eyes."

Changle: "Isn't this strange? It's normal for cautious warriors to wear thick clothes in summer to cover hidden weapons and hidden things on their bodies. The hat is for protecting against the sun, right?"

"The deceased did not have what you mentioned."

Chapter 2 Cat-faced Granny

Changle: "What if I forgot?"

Li Mo: "How can you forget such an important thing? What's the difference between forgetting to bring your ID card to the college entrance examination?"

Changle: "College entrance examination, ID card? What are those?"

Li Mo: "You don't need to know. I just looked at the body carefully. It was wrapped in such thick clothes. As an ordinary person, the deceased didn't even shed a drop of sweat. What other explanation is needed?"

Changle: "This..."

Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized that the corpse on the ground didn't even have a drop of sweat. It is said that warriors can regulate their physical condition, but as an ordinary person, how could the deceased not even sweat a drop while climbing a mountain in such hot weather? Not coming out?

unless……

"He wore a bamboo hat and lowered his head, so you didn't see his eyes at all. I just checked it and the lens was very cloudy and diffuse, which means this person died a few days ago."

"You took a dead man on the road, tell me, I want to know now what road you took?"

Li Mo made an angry accusation. Chang Le had attracted his attention before, so he didn't notice the strangeness of some people in the crowd.

Ghosts cannot feel heat or cold, and have no basic human physiological characteristics, including vision.

The eyeballs of dead people are very insensitive to light, but they have strong insight into specific things in certain scenes.

Such as lights in the dark, wind chimes, and eye-catching red ropes.

The lights in the darkness will flicker due to the arrival of ghosts, the sound of wind chimes will change from soft to sharp and harsh, and the red rope will fade...

Li Mo would not tell Chang Le and others that there was a ghost, and even if he told them, they wouldn't believe it.

These are things they won’t believe until they see them with their own eyes.

But by then, I'm afraid death won't be far away.

That shroud is a ghost, controlling the dead to mix in the crowd.

Most of the color of the red rope on his body has faded, which means that he has attracted a lot of bad things, and may even have been among the crowd.

Wait until night to become a real ghost.

Li Mo ran away in a hurry without reminding everyone, because he needed disobedient people to stay there to hold back the unknown ghost.

In the final analysis, it was discovered too late and there was not enough time to deal with it.

Li Mo's purpose was to bring Hua back. Hua must have been trapped at the source of the strangeness. He had no reason to waste time for a group of unrelated people.

Even if you have to restart, life is still precious, and restarting cannot be wasted in a place like this.

"The road of the dead...the road of the dead..."

Chang Le repeated what Li Mo said and suddenly said, "Huangquan Road...?!"

"I don't know if it's the Huangquan Road, but if you continue walking, you will soon reach the gate of hell." Li Mo teased, "Let's go up the mountain."

After Li Mo made some explanations, it was obvious that a few people in the crowd wanted to retreat and wanted to join a group to keep warm.

Chang Le showed a solemn expression. She had heard of ghost incidents in the palace, but this was Taixu Mountain, where immortals lived.

If there are monsters and demons here, wouldn’t it be that the immortal standing on the mountain peak and being looked up to by everyone...

"If that's the case...where are they? There are still many people behind who haven't come up. I'll ask them to follow us. It's safer for everyone to be together, and we can be prepared for the next time someone dies," someone said.

It was good to care about his teammates, and Li Mo didn't resent it.

But the current situation is obviously not good-natured, because no one knows whether the person following is a human or a ghost.

Some ghosts can be identified by their characteristics, such as ghosts with human heads; others cannot.

Li Mo didn't want to follow a ghost who didn't know any information. If he accidentally triggered the law of instant death, he would waste his life and increase the risk of using a human-headed ghost.

The human-headed ghost will give priority to attacking those with good physical fitness. If Li Mo dies again and reaches the state of double death, then most weirdos will not be as good as his physical superiority.

Naturally, the human-headed ghost cannot be used.

Li Mo quickly went up the mountain, and the temperature on the thermometer also dropped sharply.

Judging from the sudden death without warning just now, it is very likely that another ghost triggered the pattern of death.

The law of immediate death leaves almost no room for buffering or resistance.

Just like the rule in St. Freya Academy where you must die if you open the door and enter, Li Mo never dared to enter when completing the funeral process.

This kind of weirdness is difficult to deal with, and the mortality rate is too high.

"Hey! I'm calling you! Stop, you don't wait for others to follow, what if something happens!?" Someone shouted at Li Mo.

Li Mo stopped, his face was slightly sullen, and he looked a little angry.

"You have to wait for yourself. Don't blame me if you die. Even if I am the only one, I can still reach the top."

After saying that, Li Mo ran towards the top of the mountain without looking back.

This move put everyone in a dilemma.

On one side is the mysterious bright moon, and on the other is a companion who has been together for a long time. If you choose one, you will abandon the other. Blind choice may even get you killed.

"Changle... what should we do? Should we follow us, or should we stay here and wait for others?"

Four men in black, with strong builds and strong Qi emanating from their bodies, surrounded Changle, waiting for instructions.

There were three ordinary warriors and one ordinary person looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Changle took a look and saw that the team that originally went up the mountain was about twenty people, but now there are only nine people here.

If they choose to follow, their team will lose about [-]% of its members, which is very uneconomical for them whose goal is to reach the top.

You will definitely encounter strange things while climbing the Tongtian Road, and you will need to take human lives to deal with them. We have also agreed to use our own special skills, do not hide or tuck in, life or death is determined, and whoever should go up will do it. superior.

Changle originally planned that the 20 or so people, except for a few ordinary people, would all be outstanding talents in the martial arts world, and the possibility of reaching the top of the mountain was very high.

Even if most of it is lost, he can still live to the end and meet the immortals.

"Wait for someone, Changle. Although we don't know everything about each other, at least we have a general understanding of each other along the way. Is it possible that a stranger who shows up halfway is more trustworthy?"

A warrior stood up to express his opinion.

"Indeed, the origin of that young man is unknown. We walked on Tongtian Road for two days, and several people died before we could get here. Taixu Tongtian Road cannot be climbed to the top by one person. This has nothing to do with strength. Some levels require Someone fill it in.”

"I will do whatever you say, and I will follow the opinions of the majority." Ordinary people agreed.

Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Chang Le, and the men in black were silent.

Obviously Changle is their master, and whatever the master says is whatever they say.

"Changes will happen later. If nothing happens to the team behind them, they should be able to reach the top. If there is an accident, it will be useless for us to join."

"Since the brother who calls himself Mingyue is so confident, I think he must have some hidden secrets. It won't be too much of a disadvantage for us to follow him."

Changle explained his decision in detail, but he was actually very uneasy inside.

The source of this uneasiness was completely unknown, but the jade pendant around his waist was trembling, letting him know the crisis was coming before more people.

Li Mo's previous weird behaviors made him think that Li Mo knew a lot of things, but was unwilling to reveal them.

Maybe he has already revealed it, but no one paid attention to it.

Changle recalled what Li Mo said in his mind: "If you insist on climbing to the top, not only will you not get what you want, but the number of people who can make it down alive will not be more than one hand."

It’s not about going up the mountain alive, but getting down the mountain alive…

If this sentence is not a lie, it means that he clearly knows what the danger is.

The danger of going up the mountain was not worth mentioning in his opinion.

If this is really the case, then if you want to climb to the top to see the immortal and come back alive at the same time, you must follow him.

"start running."

Changle took the lead and was the first to catch up.

The four men in black did not hesitate and followed Chang Le closely.

Several warriors froze in place, gritted their teeth and decided to follow.

Only ordinary people ran a few steps out of breath, stopped on the side of the road, and chose to wait for the large army.

"Damn it, my famous companion didn't believe me, and I chose to believe a stranger who just showed up halfway!"

The common man complained, sitting on the ground and adjusting his body.

The long climb was too physically demanding. Even if he wanted to follow up, he didn't have the stamina.

I can only sit there and wait for the crowd behind me to come up.

"Just the few of you, how can you reach the top without anyone risking your life? If you encounter some kind of unkillable 'demon' that takes your life, you have to let us ordinary people get in the way!"

"Instead of that, I might as well follow the team of more than 20 people. At least I won't bear the brunt of danger and there is still the possibility of reaching the top."

"That's right, how can a team of more than 20 people die? There are only a few of them. How long will they die before they reach the top? The team with more people at the back is more reliable."

The man sighed and felt angry.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the afterglow shines on the ridge, reflecting a golden-red glow.

The trees in the valley cast long shadows, growing longer and deeper as the sun sank.

Among the mottled tree shadows, a rickety figure slowly walked towards the mountain.

The leaves were swaying gently, making a rustling sound.

As the setting sun fades, the sky loses the brightness of the day and gradually falls into a hazy twilight.

The mountains in the distance were shrouded in twilight, and their outlines gradually blurred.

As night falls, stars begin to twinkle out and dot the dark sky.The faint starlight illuminated the road in the mountains.

The creatures in the valley gradually became silent, leaving only the occasional chirping of birds and insects flying around, making noisy, sharp, and frightening calls...

"Meow……"

A sharp and piercing cat sound was incompatible with the middle level of Tongtian Road. Creatures like cats and dogs should not appear here.

The man gradually woke up from his nap and listened carefully, but he still didn't hear a single step.

Ever since he sat down and waited, there had been no sound of footsteps coming from below.

This is completely unreasonable. It shouldn’t take too long to catch up with such a journey, right?
