White Bone Monkey King

The door of the small wooden door had long since disappeared. Jin An stepped into the small wooden door. The place was covered with thick dust. It seemed that no one had been there since it was abandoned.

The cabin is fully furnished with tables, chairs, beds and other furniture and is neatly arranged. The people who lived here do not look like they left and abandoned the place in a hurry.

Jin An noticed a detail. The wooden bowls, spoons, and chopsticks here were all prepared for two people. It seemed that this group of woodcutter or herb gatherers did not get lost here alone, Jin An thought.

Next, he uncovered the thick animal skin blanket on the bed, further verifying his conjecture.

The animal skin blanket was also covered with a thick layer of dust. When Jin An took off the animal skin blanket, a large cloud of dust was thrown up. His Taoist robe was rolled up, and the violent cyclone sucked away the dust.

He also found a small animal skin blanket under the large animal skin blanket.

The palm of my hand was measured, and it was about four feet long, just enough to cover the body of a teenage child to keep warm.

"It should be a father-son or elder-child relationship."

Jin An saw that there was nothing else on the bed except two animal skin blankets and two hard wood arrays. He was about to turn around and leave to continue looking for the source of the corpse smell, huh? With a slight sigh, he looked down at the bed, as if he had discovered something.

Jin An removed all the debris on the bed, wiped away the dust with his palms, and drew several patterns with charcoal on the bed board where the small animal skin blanket was.

He used the animal skin blanket in his hand to wipe the bed board vigorously, and the charcoal pattern became clearer. The painting technique was immature, and it must have been done by a small hand.

Several patterns are painted with spiders.

But upon closer inspection, I don't think it looks like a spider.

Because spiders have only four legs, the legs are as long as stick insects and have a long mouthpart like a mosquito.

Jin An quickly distinguished the order of these paintings. A child used his vision to describe to him the unknown weird and absurd side of Xiao Shenlong Mountain.

The first pattern is a small wooden house with two people, one large and one small.

The second pattern is of sunset and moonrise.

The third picture shows a huge four-legged strange spider appearing above the cabin after dark, with four long, pointed and strange legs like stick insects shrouding the cabin beneath its feet.

The next few charcoal drawings repeat the four-legged spider.

The pattern ends here.

Following the order of the patterns, a weird and absurd world appeared in front of Jin'an. Two people once lost their way and accidentally broke into this basin and could not get out. So they built a wooden house in the forest with the help of their tools and lived temporarily.

But they soon discovered the terrifying side of this place. Every night in the basin, a huge four-legged mountain spider would appear. This four-legged mountain spider was bigger than a house and kept wandering in the forest.

And there are many of these four-legged mountain spiders, more than one.

Jin An became somewhat interested in the so-called four-legged mountain spider. Is such a big spider some kind of ancient beast trapped in the ancient prohibition on Little Dragon Mountain or a ghost spider condensed by resentful souls and ghosts?

The cabin was not big, and it could be seen at a glance. There were not many places to hide things. He stood by the bed and looked around for several times but still could not find the source of the smell of corpses.

He turned around and looked at the wooden bed next to him. He lifted it up with one arm and leaned it upright against the wall. A child's human skin, which had dried up and turned black and was stripped to pieces, was tied to the bottom of the bed with animal sinews!

His hands, feet, and limbs were tightly tied to the four bed legs!

The fragmented human skin of a child seemed to be staring at him, and its empty eye holes were directly at his level.

The smell of corpses comes from the torn skin of a child. After the blood dries and turns black, the strange smell lingers for a long time, just like the child's resentment and yin energy that cannot rest for a long time.

Is this the kid back then...

He didn't expect to learn so soon that his ending would be such a miserable death. One moment he was looking at the pattern drawn by a child, and the next moment he saw his tragic death.

Although he was used to seeing dead people and life and death, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart at this moment.

Jin An's eyes gradually turned cold. He searched all over the cabin but could not find the adult's human skin or bones.

"Is he still alive? Or was he killed somewhere else?"

"If this child is still alive, was this child killed by an adult?"

Although Jin An really wanted to guess that the four-legged spider killed the person. Both people were killed by the claws of the four-legged spider, but the spider's legs were unable to peel off human skin. He had observed the fragmented skinning wounds on the human skin under the bed. At first glance, it looked like it was made of rough iron tools such as axes and hatchets. The child died at the hands of humans.

An absurd conclusion came to Jin An's mind, but before there was enough evidence, he still chose to believe that tiger poison does not eat seeds, and that the two people in this wooden house were killed by the living dead.

"Supreme Taiyi Due Tianzun."

"I will take you out today. If you have any unfulfilled obsessions, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you fulfill your wishes."

Jin An recited the Taoist sutra once, then untied the tendons of the animal, took off the human skin, carefully rolled it up in an animal skin blanket and carried it on his back.

"I'll take you out of here when I conquer the Immortal Mountain." Jin An patted the animal skin straps with his palm, and then walked out of the cabin with sharp eyes.

Although there was a Luogeng Jade Plate to guide the direction, firstly, the basin was large, secondly, the mountains were filled with clouds and mist, and thirdly, the exploration progress was not fast to avoid exposing their whereabouts early. By dark, Jin'an had not yet found the Immortal Chess Game.

The ancient trees in the mountains block the sun, and it gets darker here earlier than the outside world. Jin An raised his head and looked at the forest canopy that blocked the sky tightly. The temperature difference between day and night was large, and the clouds and fog in the basin became deeper after nightfall.

At this time, the entwined roots of ancient trees and the deformed and twisted thousand-year-old vines were making strange sounds under the light wind in the dark night, as if they were walking in a dark hell, surrounded by black shadows with teeth and claws, and everything looked like human figures.

The night in the deep mountains is empty and cold.

Jin An, who was carrying a piece of human skin on his back, turned a blind eye to all this and continued to follow the guidance of Luo Geng's jade plate. As long as his heart was clear, there would be no need for ghosts and gods to knock on the door in the middle of the night.

With his physique as a martial artist, he can easily see at night without using a light source.

Jin An walked alone at night with a human skin bag on his back. He was silent all the way. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart at this time...whether he deliberately slowed down his pace and wanted to see whether the dark night in the basin was really real. So absurd and bizarre! What on earth is the four-legged spider drawn in charcoal!

The basin is quiet after nightfall. There are no sounds of birds, beasts and insects, only the sound of broken dead branches, which is particularly crisp in the deep and empty mountains.

Jin An suddenly stopped.

His six senses were sharp, and he smelled a strange atmosphere quietly spreading in the dark night. He looked straight at a patch of mist in front of him, and then followed it.

The clouds and mist rose, and in the deep mist, a mysterious column gradually appeared, towering into the tree crown, then a second column, a third column, a fourth column... It was the four legs in the charcoal drawing of the cabin. Weird spider.
