Chapter 1338 Lost

People with little value will be treated as consumables. This is helpless, but also very realistic. What makes Jiang Cheng even more sad is that the team walking in front of them probably knows this in their hearts, but on the one hand, military orders are as heavy as mountains, and on the other hand, it is their duty. These people are countless short epitomes. In essence, they are just like those deceived night watchmen.

After walking for about an hour, the forest in front of them gradually became denser, and the road under their feet became more and more difficult to walk. Stepping on the thick fallen leaves, the soles of the feet became soft, giving people a very unsteady feeling. Jiang Cheng paused, and a strange feeling flowed out of his heart, as if... like stepping on a rotten and pus-filled corpse.

Unknowingly, they walked into the depths of the forest. The surrounding trees became taller and taller, and the shade of the trees covered the sky. The light coming through the gaps between the branches and leaves above their heads became less and less.

"Something is wrong. Aren't we going down the mountain? Why does it seem like we are walking deep into the mountain?"

The fat man pulled his feet out of the thick fallen leaves and couldn't help saying.

"It's a bit strange indeed."

Luo Yunshan turned around and waved his hand. The camouflage man who had been wearing headphones came over. "I have checked with the team in front. There is no problem with our direction. Everything is normal. We will be out of the mountain in an hour."

During the hesitation, someone suddenly spoke behind him in a hurried voice, and then the whole team became lively. Looking in the direction of the finger, the vision not far away was blurred, and a mist floated over silently.

A middle-aged man wearing a jungle jacket and glasses squinted his eyes, and then his face changed drastically, "Not good, it seems to be miasma, everyone prepare gas masks."

Soon, everyone took out the gas masks in their backpacks and put them on their faces. At this moment, the mist also filled the air. Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. They were breathing smoothly now, and there was no burning sensation in the respiratory tract and the skin exposed to the mist. The situation was not very bad.

But just as he came to his senses, Jiang Cheng noticed that No. 2, No. 13 and others had stopped and were staring at the direction they were heading. Looking in that direction, Jiang Cheng saw several figures at the limit of his field of vision, with their backs to them. Judging from their clothes, they were the people in the previous team, but the strange thing was that they stood there like a log, motionless.

"What's going on?" Jiang Cheng lowered his voice.

"These people haven't moved. Since we stopped, they have stopped too." Because of the mask, No. 13's voice was muffled, but his nervousness could still be heard at the moment, "It seems... it seems that they have been waiting for us."

"And they are not wearing gas masks. I have been staring at them, and they have not taken out the masks at all."

No. 2's words made everyone nervous. After all, this fog is likely to be poisonous miasma, and the people in the previous team also carried gas masks. There is no reason for them not to take them out.

Unless... unless they are dead, or these people are simply something else.

Perhaps to verify his conjecture, No. 2 walked forward a few steps alone, and a strange scene appeared. These wooden stake-like figures also moved and walked forward a few steps. When No. 2 stopped, these figures also stopped.

Now everyone's scalp was numb. The situation in front of them was very clear. There must be something wrong with the team in front. They were luring them into the depths of the dense forest. As for where they wanted to lure them in the end, it was unclear.

However, two words suddenly popped up in Jiang Cheng's mind: Ghost Banquet.

The strange rumors in Xixieming Mountain.

Luo Yunshan made a prompt decision and chose to abandon the previous team. They found another way to leave the fog first. This fog obviously had problems, otherwise how could the timing of its appearance be so coincidental.

There was a guide in the team. According to the guide's judgment, they chose a new road, and the requirement was to get out of this forest as soon as possible.

But not long after walking, they discovered a new situation. There were traces of people walking on the road they chose, and there were not only one, but many, and even a clear shoe print was found.

The shoe prints were fresh and had just been left.

According to the identification of the people in the team, these shoe prints were exactly the kind of boots they were wearing, and the people who left these shoe prints were the previous team.

A chilling chill permeated the team, as if no matter how they changed direction, they were being led by the nose, walking on a road that had been marked long ago, heading for a trap that had been prepared for them long ago.

This silent sense of powerlessness was eroding everyone's heart.

"Since we can't hide, let's follow the footprints and see where these people went." No. 2 stood up, staring coldly at the front.

The division of labor within the team was clear, some were responsible for leading the way, some were responsible for guarding the surroundings, everyone performed their duties, and there was no panic atmosphere. It seemed that the team formed by Luo Yunshan was not bad. If it were replaced by ordinary people, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

Following the footprints, everyone actually walked out of the fog. This was something no one expected. They originally thought that something was waiting for them in the depths of the fog, but before they could rejoice, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, and the scene in front of them made everyone stagnate.

In the hazy darkness in the distance, a dilapidated village loomed.

That's right, it was the village they had just left not long ago, and it was also the village where Lin Wan'er and her group disappeared.

At this moment, the village was like a pool of stagnant water, pitch black, and they were now in another direction, a completely different direction from the first time they came, but the result was the same. After going around in circles, they finally returned to this place.

Jiang Cheng lowered his head, and there were tiny footprints under his feet, winding and strangely stiff, heading towards the village, and finally disappeared in the darkness.

Jiang Cheng was sure that the previous team had entered the village at this moment.

This is a curse!

It must be a curse!

Anyone who enters this village will never be able to leave the mountain again. Sooner or later, they will definitely come back to this village and disappear here quietly.

"Quick, leave quickly."

In fact, there is no need to remind him. After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Cheng retreated immediately. The fog had dispersed at this time. After tossing for so long, time had already entered the night. Fine raindrops floated in the sky, hitting their faces and bodies. It didn't hurt, but it was surprisingly cold, like a shower of ice rain.

Everyone quickly retreated back to the forest, but they didn't go far, let alone run away, because there was no need and it was impossible to run away. Now the only way they can survive is to find out the weirdness of this village.

Just as everyone hid in the woods, a little fire suddenly lit up in the dark village in the distance. Then, as if a new fire had begun, one fire lighted up after another.
