Chapter 1154 Strange Quietness

Together, Shangguan and Ji Ning walked forward along the bamboo forest, except for a brief exchange at the beginning, after that, neither of them spoke.

Both of them have the same personality.

To put it bluntly, it is called Gao Leng, but to put it bluntly, it means that you have a low EQ and cannot speak.

Or they directly slapped people to death as soon as they opened their mouths, without any euphemism, or they just chatted to death directly. When the two of them are together, they still choose to shut up to be more harmonious.

The area of ​​this bamboo forest is much larger than what they imagined.

Follow the edge all the way, as if there is no end at all.

In the sky, clouds gradually formed, covering the moon from time to time, and the surrounding area of ​​the bamboo grove became even darker, except for the rustling wind that could be heard in the ears, there was nothing else.

The breathing and footsteps of the two people were extremely low, and there were only two black shadows moving quickly through the night.

After about half an hour, according to their speed, they had already traveled a considerable distance, but they had not yet seen a road that could pass through the bamboo forest.

Ji Ning stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked behind him. What he saw in his eyes was no longer the shadow of the village.

Before Ji Ning could speak, Shangguan had already said in a low voice: "It's impossible to go this far."

This is exactly what Ji Ning wanted to say.

When the two of them were near the village, they felt the powerful aura coming from the second bamboo forest.

However, that breath is like the waves of the sea.

At a swift speed, it was pushed towards the beach, but in just an instant, it retreated back to the sea and merged into it, without sound or trace.

That aura was around the village at that time, and now they walked so far that they couldn't even see the outline of the village. Obviously, it was impossible to find clues around here.

Ji Ning pondered: "Could it be that we went in the wrong direction?"

The bamboo forest is located behind the village, along the east-west direction. The two of them walked eastward, but after walking such a long distance, they still didn't see the road. Presumably, they went the wrong way.

Shangguan sighed slightly, and couldn't help but look in the direction he came from.

Because they were walking through the bamboo forest, the sight behind them was already blocked by the bamboo forest, and now there is no moon, so it is very dark. Rao Shangguan's vision ability surpasses ordinary people, and at this moment, he only feels that the direction is dark One piece, nothing can be seen.

"Why don't we split up, one continues to move forward, and the other goes back to look over there." Shangguan suggested.

What she thought was a very clever suggestion almost made Ji Ning spit out a mouthful of blood.

In the middle of the night, in this unfamiliar deep mountain, there are people behind the scenes who don't know whether they are enemies or friends in the dark. She, a girl, actually asks herself to wander around by herself.

Even if he knew that Shangguan's current level was comparable to his own, and if he really took action, he might not be worse than himself, Ji Ning still shook his head hastily.

But even though he was thinking like this in his heart, he couldn't say it clearly. He could only murmur and say, "The situation is still unclear, so it's better to be careful. If something goes wrong, you and I are not the only ones involved."

Fortunately, Shangguan is not an extremely paranoid person. Hearing what Ji Ning said, he also nodded, but then, he frowned slightly, and said with some difficulty: "Is it possible that we just turn back?"

Ji Ning looked around and saw that they were all in the darkness. In the bamboo forest, there was nothing to see, and he said: "Our speed must be faster than the mountain people here. I think they are unlikely. What do you think the way into the mountain will be in such a distant place?"

The superior said "hmm".

The two reached an agreement and walked back along the way they came from.

Because they were worried that when they came here, they walked too fast and missed some details, the two of them slowed down a little on the way back, and carefully checked the bamboo forest.

After walking for another half hour, Shangguan looked forward, with some doubts in his eyes, and said: "Although we walked slower when we came back, the difference in speed is not too big. Why have we walked for so long? Is it because you can’t see the shadow of the village?”

When Ji Ning heard this, he also looked in that direction, and when he saw it more clearly, his expression changed slightly.

He clearly remembered that on the way here, in order to estimate the distance, he looked in the direction of the village many times, and it was not until he walked a certain distance that the village was completely blocked.

Calculated based on the time it takes to go back and forth, they can already see the village from the distance they walked back. Even if they can’t see the whole picture, they can still see the roofs of some bamboo buildings. After all, this is a two-story structure, and the location of the roof , a full five or six meters high.

But right now, not to mention the bamboo building, in his eyes, there is nothing but the bamboo forest and the darkness.

This situation is somewhat abnormal.

Even now that the moon is covered by clouds, Ji Ning believes that with his own eyes, he can still see quite a long distance. There is no reason at all, he only sees pitch blackness.

Seeing the corners of Ji Ning's mouth pursed into a straight line, Shangguan felt a little bit of a bad feeling in his heart.

She stood still, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "Do you think it's a little too quiet now?"

Hearing what Shangguan said, Ji Ning pricked up his ears to listen again.

What can be heard in the ears is nothing but the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo forest and the bamboo leaves rustling.

The night in this mountain is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so it is naturally quite quiet, but just now in the village, when I was chatting with Shangguan, I could clearly hear the buzzing of insects, but at this moment, those insects are not even screaming up.

In this piece of night, it is quiet now, which makes people feel a little weird.

Before Ji Ning could speak, Shangguan said again: "We have been walking along this road without any turning. The stream beside the village was parallel to this road at that time."

Hearing these words, Ji Ning only felt that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.

This village was built along the stream when they came.

The south of the village is a stream, and the north is a bamboo forest.

When the sky was dark and everything was silent, the sound of the gurgling water could be heard, although the sound was not very loud, it could be heard very clearly.

When they came out of the village, they could still hear the sound of rushing water, but at this moment, there was no such sound at all.

Ji Ning only felt his heart beat slightly faster, but immediately, he suppressed the ominous feeling in his heart, and glanced around more vigilantly.

Shangguan's complexion was also extremely solemn.
