At that moment, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. The once bright sky instantly became dim and gloomy, as if shrouded by a vast black curtain. A fierce wind howled, rustling the surrounding trees and swaying their branches wildly, as if a group of monsters with bared fangs and claws were dancing wantonly in the darkness. The wind echoed through the valley, making a shrill whistle, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in pain.
"Oh no! It looks like something's going to happen. Let's find some shelter," Lin Yu shouted, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart. In this unfamiliar and mysterious environment, any sudden change could be fatal. His heartbeat involuntarily quickened, his nerves tense to the extreme, and he vigilantly observed the movements around him.
They hurriedly hid behind a boulder. The wind grew stronger, making it nearly impossible to stand. Along with the gusts, black feathers drifted down from the sky, swirling and dancing in the air, emitting a faint stench of decay. These feathers were strangely shaped, not typical of birds. Their edges were irregularly jagged, and their surfaces shimmered with a strange sheen.
"What kind of feathers are these? Why do they smell so strange?" Ouyang Zhenghao said, covering his nose, his eyes revealing a hint of disgust and fear. The appearance of these feathers made the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive, as if some evil force was quietly approaching.
Chen Yao looked at the feathers and had an idea: "These feathers don't look like those of ordinary birds, and this rotten smell... I feel like this may be related to some supernatural creature. In some ancient legends, there are often mentions of evil creatures with black feathers, which are often accompanied by disasters and death." Chen Yao's heart was filled with worries. She knew very well that these seemingly ordinary feathers might be a danger signal, indicating that the challenges they were about to face would be even more difficult, and they knew very little about the impending dangers.
After a period of intense wind, the storm finally died down. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and sunlight once again shone through the mountain forest. However, the oppressive atmosphere still enveloped the land. Lin Yu and the others emerged from behind the boulder and, looking at the black feathers scattered on the ground, their confusion deepened. Where did these feathers come from? And how did they connect to the mysterious events of "Broken Head Hill"?
"No matter what these feathers mean, we can't retreat. Let's move on and go to the cave to take a look. Maybe we can find more clues." Lin Yu said, his eyes revealing firm determination. Although his heart was full of worries, as the leader of the team, he must lead everyone to move forward bravely and uncover the mystery behind "Broken Head Mountain".
When they reached the cave's entrance, a chilling aura washed over them, sending shivers down their spines. The cave was pitch black, bottomless. From the depths, they could faintly hear the sound of dripping water, echoing through the silence like the heartbeat of some unknown creature. A thin layer of mist hung from the cave's entrance, revealing countless pairs of prying eyes, coldly observing their arrival.
"This cave looks eerie. I wonder what's inside," Ouyang Zhenghao said, turning on his flashlight to illuminate the path ahead. The light reflected off the cave walls, revealing strange patterns and symbols that looked eerie. The patterns resembled distorted scrolls, while the symbols, like curses from hell, shimmered mysteriously and dangerously under the light.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, follow me closely and remain vigilant. We don't know what awaits us inside, but we must proceed with caution. Any slight movement could signal danger." With that, he led the way into the cave, with Ouyang Zhenghao and Shen Yao following closely behind, entering this mysterious space filled with the unknown and fear. The air inside the cave was damp and cold; with every breath, a chill ran down their throats, reaching their hearts and lungs. Their footsteps echoed throughout the cave, as if amplified by some mysterious force. Every step felt like stepping on their own heartbeats, and the tense atmosphere kept their nerves on edge.
