Chapter 309 Mountain Village [I]

The sudden noise instantly dispelled my great-grandfather's sleepiness, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes subconsciously glanced to his side, but he was surprised to find that his companion who had been sleeping on his left side was nowhere to be seen.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart, and he hurriedly suppressed his inner panic.

Soon, his sight fixed on the corner of the wall, where he saw a black figure squatting quietly.

Thanks to the white snow outside, the moonlight was reflected into the house.

Although the room was not bright, one could still make out some blurry scenes.

As his gaze slowly moved downward, my great-grandfather's eyes widened, beneath the dark shadow.

There was actually a person lying there, and based on the person's body shape, he realized with horror that it was one of their three companions!
I saw the black shadow lying on his companion, biting something, and from time to time I could hear the "sizzling" sound of flesh being torn.

My great-grandfather's heart instantly rose to his throat, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to his forehead. He didn't dare to breathe, for fear of startling that thing.

But he knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait to die, he had to find a way to escape quickly.

He quietly touched his hand to another companion who was still sleeping soundly beside him.

When he was touched by him, he was about to ask something, but his great-grandfather quickly covered his mouth and pointed to the corner.

His companion's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes filled with fear, but he quickly understood the current situation.

The two of them moved carefully, moving away from the dark shadow in the corner and slowly crawling towards the door.

Every time they moved a little, they were so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats. The rustling sound of chewing seemed to be right next to their ears, constantly stimulating their nerves.

But when I pushed the wooden door open, it made a creaking sound.

The sound was like thunder in the silent night.

The dark shadow suddenly raised its head and looked towards them with a pair of eyes that glowed with a strange green light.

It turned out to be a fox face covered in blood.

My great-grandfather and his companions were so frightened that they trembled all over. They didn't care about anything else and just broke open the wooden door and ran out.

Seeing this, the black shadow let out a creepy roar and then quickly caught up.

Fortunately, the house we lived in was outside the village, and no one stopped us during the process.

The two men ran for their lives, one step deep and one step shallow in the snow, and they were unaware of the cold snow pouring into their shoes.

The footsteps of the dark shadow behind them were getting closer and closer, as if it would pounce on them and grab them in the next second.

Fortunately, the two of them thought of a solution in a hurry.

He plunged into the snow at the foot of the hillside.

They used the accumulated snow to cover their figures and managed to escape. When it was daybreak, the two finally returned to the village.

"Afterwards, when the villagers went up the mountain to search, they only found a few bodies with their internal organs and brains removed at the foot of a hillside.

Judging from the wound, it looks like it was torn open by the sharp claws of some animal.

Apart from that, there is nothing else, no trace of the so-called village at all."

It can be seen that the middle-aged driver has a talent for storytelling.

He spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

“Before, I had always just listened to this as a story, but it was more than ten years ago.

There were several teenagers in our village who went missing and were eventually found in Foxtail Mountain. Their deaths were very tragic, with their internal organs and brains hollowed out. Since then, Foxtail Mountain has become a forbidden area and no one dares to approach it anymore."

The driver shook his head when he said this.

“It was only a few years ago that experts were sent down to conduct tests.

They said there were miasma and man-eating beasts in the mountain, and that people who entered would easily develop hallucinations and it was very dangerous, so they sealed the mountain off. "

The problem is this statement.

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

There is no such thing as miasma or man-eating beasts.

According to the records in the Security Bureau.

All these changes in the mountain are related to the nightmare incident here.

What puzzled Hu Qi was that

Someone died more than ten years ago. Logically, the nightmare incident should have been sealed by that person.

How did those teenagers die?

Could it be that the Dream Eye here is immune and ignores that person's ban?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that it was a deliberate frame-up.

Some people's hearts are the most sinister. They can do anything.

after that.

The two of them started chatting casually, while Hu Qi was carefully recalling and organizing the information he had just obtained about Foxtail Mountain.

After more than ten minutes, the car arrived safely in Shidun County.

I saw that there were mountains all around, at least more than a dozen of them.

Shidun County can be said to be located in a valley.

What you see are gray and white buildings, which are no different from those in ordinary towns.

The reason for this name is that at the entrance of the county, there stands a huge stone pier, which is more than ten meters in size.

There are also some things carved on it.

According to the driver, this thing was made by a master specially hired by a landlord a hundred years ago.

It is said that it has the magical effect of suppressing certain unclean things, and it can be regarded as a cultural relic of considerable historical value.

Once, some relevant experts heard about this and came specially, intending to take it away for proper preservation or for further research.

However, the object was too large to be moved, and many local people disagreed with it, thinking it should remain where it was.

So it has been left there ever since.

Looking at this thing, Hu Qi did not feel anything unusual from it. In his opinion, it was just an ordinary stone.

After that, Hu Qi got out of the car.

Before getting off the car, I gave the driver double the fare as a token of gratitude because the driver provided me with a lot of useful information.

Seeing this, the driver refused verbally, but took the money obediently with his hands.

Then, under the other party's eager gaze.

Hu Qi strode away from the place.

Without any delay.

He headed straight for the direction of Foxtail Mountain which he had learned from indirect inquiries in the car.

Before coming here, he also studied the map here.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to determine his current location.

Hu Qi's feet were as fast as the wind and it didn't take long for him to move.

Then we arrived at the foot of Foxtail Mountain.

The reason why I can be so sure that the mountain in front of me is Foxtail Mountain is because it is completely different from other surrounding mountains.

I saw that the mountain was surrounded by a circle of iron net that was three meters high.

It seems that they want to completely isolate everything in the mountain from the outside world.

The trees in the forest grow extremely lush. They stand there crowdedly, with their branches and leaves intertwined and overlapping with each other, which can be seen from a distance.

It is like a huge dark green curtain that covers the entire mountain, making it difficult to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the mountain.

However, in a corner of the mountain path, Hu Qi discovered something unexpected.

It was none other than the red SUV that had arrogantly given them the middle finger on the road.

At this moment, the car was carefully covered with dead leaves and placed in a forest. Such deliberate camouflage was obviously done intentionally by someone.

Hu Qi searched the area carefully but did not see anyone in the car.

All I saw were a few messy footprints on the ground, extending into the distance.

And that direction is exactly the depths of Foxtail Mountain.

Obviously, the people in this car have already entered Foxtail Mountain.

Following the direction of the footprints, Hu Qi came to an iron net. There was a hole next to the iron net that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The broken end of the wire was still very new, probably having been cut not long ago.

The opening is hidden behind a big tree and is surrounded by weeds. If you don't pay close attention, it would be really hard to find.

"You really like to die!"

Hu Qi shook his head.

He raised his head and drank the last sip of fruit drink in his hand, then threw it aside.

Then, he moved his feet suddenly, and his figure instantly turned into a black shadow. He lightly crossed the three-meter-high iron net and went into the mountain.
