Chapter 1340 Human Figure

He was in a dense forest at the moment, and not far from him, next to a thick tree, a blurry figure was standing.

The figure's face was unclear, and it seemed... as if there was a sack on his head, and his body was integrated with the surrounding darkness. What really chilled Jiang Cheng was the figure's movements. The body was straight, and one arm was stiffly stretched out, pointing behind Jiang Cheng and the others.

A huge sense of crisis came, and Jiang Cheng almost jumped up and turned around, looking behind him. In mid-air, Jiang Cheng's mind flashed countless terrifying images, such as the firelight that appeared behind them again, or he saw a pale and weird face, the face of those missing people...

But all these imaginations ended the moment he landed, because he clearly saw that there was nothing unusual behind him except the teammates who came with them.

Instead, Jiang Cheng's sudden movement scared the others.

"What's going on?"

The fat man quickly made a posture of facing the enemy, and the people behind him also gathered together, looking behind them vigilantly, as if there was something shameful hidden in the darkness beyond their sight.

After a while, the surroundings were very quiet, and nothing happened.

Luo Yunshan had a cold face at this moment, and turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng, "What's wrong with you? Did you find anything?"

Jiang Cheng ignored him, and immediately went to look for the shadow he had seen before after he came to his senses. The shadow was still there, but the more Jiang Cheng looked, the more wrong it seemed... as if something was different from before.

Jiang Cheng calmed down and told everyone about the human figure he saw. Everyone walked over with doubts, and when they got closer, they found that it was not a human figure at all, but a tree that looked like a human figure.

This tree may have lost in the competition with other trees, and its growth was very poor. All branches and leaves had fallen off. The only remaining thick tree fork stretched straight out. From a distance, it really looked like a person with his arms stretched out.

Out of caution, everyone searched carefully near the tree again, and also checked whether there were any footprints left around, but in the end, nothing was found.

No. 13, who was squatting on the ground, stood up and whispered to Jiang Cheng: "Don't be too nervous, calm down, it's just a tree." In such a dim and high-pressure environment, it is easy to see the wrong thing.

Jiang Cheng knew that there must be something wrong, but he couldn't tell it, but what he said behind him seemed to ring the alarm bell for everyone. Finally, after discussion, everyone decided to continue moving in the direction where the fire disappeared.

On the way, Jiang Cheng's mind kept flashing the scene not long ago, the strange figure, especially the stiff and straight arm pointing behind him.

In the dark mountain, they moved forward slowly, without a specific goal, only knowing to move forward, how far to go, where to go, nothing, the atmosphere of despair and helplessness was pervasive, and more of it was worry about the future. Everyone had an indescribable feeling in their hearts, as if this day would never come again.

Jiang Cheng couldn't even be sure whether they were still in the real Xixieming Mountain, or walked into a strange world that no one had ever seen.

Before Jiang Cheng could think carefully, a short exclamation sounded behind him, accompanied by a sound of rolling and falling. Turning around, he found that someone had rolled down the hillside.

It was called a hillside, but in fact, it was almost as steep as a cliff. The road under their feet was narrow, dark and slippery. It was dark, and if they stepped into the air, something bad would happen.

Judging from the sound of the rolling, the height of the hillside was not very high. Jiang Cheng prayed in his heart that no big problems would happen to the person. According to the understanding, the person who rolled down carried a communication device with him. The rough man immediately tried to contact him with a walkie-talkie, but it was still the same situation. The signal here was very poor, and it was all meaningless noise.

"I'll let the rope down and bring the person up." The rough man said anxiously: "It won't take much time. I have encountered similar situations before. If nothing unexpected happens, the person below will not be particularly injured."

Staring at the darkness below, Jiang Cheng suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Just as the rough man took out the rope and tied it to a big tree next to him, Luo Yunshan stopped him and gave him a calm look, "You are responsible for commanding from above, let the others go down."

Soon, two people tied the rope. Jiang Cheng clearly saw that one of them was carrying a pistol. Luo Yunshan asked them to bring the person up immediately after finding him below. Unless necessary, do not bandage him below, and try not to use the light for a long time.

The two agreed one after another. After getting ready, they followed the rope down to the darkness under their feet. Watching the figures of the two people gradually being swallowed by the darkness, everyone's heart unconsciously lifted up.

It can be seen that Luo Yunshan is also worried about the situation below. After all, this mountain is not right, and it is really hard to say what is in the darkness below.

Just as they were waiting nervously, news came from below. A light was on and off. Jiang Cheng probably knew something. This was light language, that is, a way to transmit messages through the frequency and duration of the light. Now the signal was interfered, and they had no choice but to use light language to transmit messages.

But after Luo Yunshan and the others saw Deng Yu, their faces turned ugly. Then the rough man explained that the news Deng Yu sent back was not good. The person who fell off the cliff broke his bones and was difficult to move. He needed to be fixed and bandaged on the spot.

"Then let them hurry up, why are they still dawdling?"

The fat man didn't understand. He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a second, let alone the two people who left the main group.

Then the lights came on again, and the news sent back this time seemed to confirm Luo Yunshan's suspicions earlier in the morning, making his already ugly face even more gloomy.

"What did they say this time?" the fat man asked curiously.

"They...they want two more of us to go down with a simple stretcher, fix them up, and then lift them up together." The worried look on the rough man's face was gradually replaced by a wave of fear, and his lips turned slightly blue.

The fat man also looked uncomfortable. Two more people came down... Why did this scene seem so familiar? Where had he seen it before, or had he heard of it? In short, it gave him a very bad premonition.

Jiang Cheng has already thought that in the world of Lady Dahe, the fishermen who were tricked into going into the water to salvage the fishing nets were all dead long ago. Everyone who was tricked into going into the water was dead by the water ghosts who caught the substitutes.

The rough man couldn't make up his mind and looked at Luo Yunshan for help, "Mr. Luo, let me see inside..."

"Give up the rescue and cut the rope. Quick, cut it now! Everyone evacuate immediately!" Luo Yunshan issued the order without delay.
