Chapter 919 Sending Yin (6)
There is more than one person hanging on the tree.
All the escorts who had just fled without listening to Yu Xing's words were pierced like candied haws.
For some reason, the blood of the corpses seemed to be a little dry, and it took half a day to condense before a drop fell, like an empty shell with only flesh and blood sucked out.
Yu Xing counted and found that all the missing subordinates were here, not one was missing. In addition to the escorts on his side, there were also a few men in simple cloth hanging on the tree.
Zhao Ruru compared their clothes and whispered, "These are my people."
The clothes of the Inugami people are different from those popular outside the mountain. Although Zhao Ruru has never seen the people in person, her original clothes have the same pattern as those of these men.
It turned out that the saint's people did not fail to catch up with her, but were killed by strange things after chasing to this area.
What killed them?
Or... what kind of instant death condition did these people trigger, so that they were all hung on this tree?
Zhao Ruru looked at Yu Xing, expecting him to give an answer.
Unfortunately, Yu Xing didn't know either. According to his guess, if all the deducers were in this forest, then everyone should have a personal main line.
He wanted to transport the goods, and Zhao Ruru wanted to completely escape from the pursuit of the Inugami tribe, so perhaps... something that maintained the rules of the forest would be the main line that another deducer had to deal with?
The two walked through the forest of corpses dripping with blood from time to time, and nothing happened.
Yu Xing knew about this, after all, he didn't feel any malice or threat when he approached here.
But the corpses were gathered here, and there was still a suspicion that they were deliberately for him and the saint to see.
They carefully passed through the forest and saw a path.
"Go a little further along this road, and you'll find my team's rest area." Yu Xing said, "Before we met you, we had no way to deal with the maze, but now we have your...bell, which should help us break through the maze."
"I can try." Zhao Ru Ru agreed, and decided to satisfy her curiosity, "Speaking of which, sir, where are the horses of your men!"
Although she was still in the soil when the people escaped, she saw many messy horse hoof marks along the way.
The people died, where did the horses go?
Yu Xing dragged out a long sigh: "Maybe they were released."
He didn't think those ordinary horses had the ability to survive in the woods by themselves - but it didn't rule out that this forest was very friendly to animals.
If the chief escort was here, he would probably say that he didn't know how to cherish horses. Horses are a rare resource in this era!
However, Yu Xing didn't care. After all, it wasn't his property. He just had to take care of the goods to be transported.
Zhao Ruru was speechless, perhaps thinking about what kind of character he had. He allowed his subordinates to die and horses to disappear without any emotion on his face, and he was not punished for violating his character.
The two walked along the path, and soon saw the flag of the escort agency.
Under the dark sky, the flag of the escort agency fluttered in the wind, no longer majestic as in the daytime, leaving only a gloomy feeling.
The few escorts who were left to watch the goods were very honest. They all surrounded the goods, guarding and chatting.
Yu Xing came from afar, and the escort leader's extraordinary hearing allowed him to capture key words such as "boss", "left for so long", "caught by ghosts", etc.
"Hey, stop talking. If the boss hears us, he will teach us a lesson again."
"I feel a chill on my back... It's like the boss is staring at me..."
The two men and the horse who were getting closer and closer were not very concealed after all. The few people who were chatting casually looked back and were suddenly excited: "The boss is really back!"
I don't know whether they want the cruel escort leader to die here more, or they want the escort leader to take them out of the ghost wall.
Another person exclaimed: "Why did they catch a woman!"
"This woman is wearing the boss's clothes! This, this, this... In the wilderness, is this woman a human or a ghost?!"
"It's a human, don't make a fuss." Yu Xing raised his voice to interrupt the escorts' restlessness. He officially returned to the team. The smell of blood on his body ignited the escorts' nerves. Some people saw that Yu Xing was injured and there was no subordinate who had just gone out with him, and they were immediately shocked.
"Boss! Where are Biaozi and the others?"
Yu Xing thought that Biaozi might be the name of one of the people wearing candied haws just now. After all, he still has a decent job. He put away some of his indifference and showed some solemnity: "They met ghosts and died."
"Oh my God!"
The escorts looked gloomy, and the only cook was trembling with fear.
They first asked about the cause of their companions' death. After learning about Yu Xing's experience just now, they even lowered their voices, as if they were afraid that there were ghosts in the forest eavesdropping.
"It's too dangerous here. It's really a place where evil ghosts are entrenched. Get up and get ready. We have to get out quickly and leave this place of trouble." Yu Xing spoke in a very leadership style.
He picked Zhao Ruru out and introduced: "This girl has good things in her hands. She can lead us. She will travel with us for a while. I warn you, don't have evil thoughts on her. Do you understand?"
The escorts nodded again.
The darkness is a protective color, which can well conceal their greed for "good things" and coveting of "girls".
The team, with a greatly reduced number of people, moved forward again. Yu Xing checked the cargo. The cargo, which he suspected was a coffin from the first sight, was wrapped well as it was during the day, with no signs of resurrection.
He left the horse to Zhao Ruru and grabbed another horse for himself: "If you are sleepy, pinch yourself to wake up, don't think about sleeping! We must at least get out of the range of the ghost wall before we can find a place to camp."
From then on, Zhao Ruru would ring the bell every time he moved a distance.
The sound of the bell spread far in the mountains, and there was a unique sense of tranquility. When everyone was dizzy and even in a trance, time quietly came to the second half of the night.
Everyone hadn't seen the same scenery for a long time.
The tired escorts drank water to dispel their sleepiness. Finally, Yu Xing announced: "The ghost wall has been broken."
They successfully moved forward a small grid on the map.
At this time, they came to a place that seemed to be a relic.
The ancient ruins only have some broken walls and ruins left, covered with dust over time. The circles of short stone walls can barely be regarded as a natural camp, which can shelter from the wind and prevent some animals from approaching.
In Guolongling, such ruins are very common.
After all, there are many tribes in the mountains. It is not surprising that a tribe is moved away or destroyed at any time. It is inevitable that traces of past life are left.
Yu Xing chose a good location and let the team rest here, set up camp and sleep.
His current physique is that of a human, and he will also be tired and sleepy. So after Zhao Ru Ru said that he was not sleepy for the time being and could keep watch, he also fell asleep.
"Call me after an hour and a half, I will take turns with you." Yu Xing instructed.
As for the escorts? They are already snoring, and they can't be relied on at all.
