Chapter 160 Isn’t Song Wanwan dead?
A gust of wind blew, and the black fog dispersed a little, revealing a figure covered with hair.
It looks a bit like a tall and thin black monkey.
One of the creature's arms wrapped around Song Wanwan, carrying her on its shoulder, and soon disappeared.
"Help, help!"
Song Wanwan's shouts disappeared into the depths of the woods.
"What is that?!"
Song Shixing was startled. He hesitated for a while, but finally chose not to chase after him.
Lu Jiaqi said with horror, "This thing looks a bit like a human, but... upon closer inspection, it's not a human at all. This must be a monster from Ailao Mountain!"
Song Shixing's face turned pale. "I don't think it's human either. It's covered in black hair, and it only has one leg and one arm. It seems to be... it seems to be..."
At this point, Song Shixing felt a chill inexplicably rising from his body. "Let's leave here quickly and take another route to the destination. This place is not safe!"
"What does it seem to be?"
Lu Jiaqi looked at him and asked.
Jiang Nanxi said, "He looks like the One-legged Wulang of Ailao Mountain, also known as the Inverted-legged Immortal. The Classic of Mountains and Seas once described him as 'a man with a human face and a beast body, one foot and one hand, living in Gang Mountain.'
Ailao Mountain is located in Yunnan Province. In some areas of Yunnan Province, the one-legged Wulang is worshipped as a small god of wealth, kept in the home as a sacrifice, and is believed to bring wealth to the owner. However, this creature is not a legitimate deity after all, and worshipping it can lead to many problems, a bit like the worship of small ghosts in the United States to pray for wealth.
If you can no longer continue to worship it, you must use a specific method to get rid of it, otherwise it will bring disaster to the family.
Without human offerings, the one-legged gorod will flee into the mountains and become a wild ghost, capturing lone travelers, taking them to a cave, plugging their mouths, noses, and ears with cow dung, and sucking their essence.
"Then Song Wanwan is doomed to die?"
Lu Jiaqi said regretfully, "This one-legged Wulang is too fast. We can't catch up with him. Now we don't know where Song Wanwan has been taken."
"uncertain."
Jiang Nanxi said, "The aura of that one-legged Wulang is a bit strange."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nanxi's watch rang. Someone from the Psychic Bureau sent her a message.
She took it out and took a look. It was a message from Ye Shutong, saying that they had also come to Ailao Mountain.
Some time ago, many tourists disappeared in Ailao Mountain, and many people were sent to search the mountain. As a result, the search team got lost in the mountain and had to withdraw.
The Psychic Bureau also sent people in to look for her, but all the people they sent met with an accident, and they only sent back two photos.
Ye Shutong sent the photos to Jiang Nanxi.
One of the photos was taken on a cliff deep in the Ailao Mountains. In the photo, there is a male corpse with his stomach ripped open and nailed to the cliff wall.
The man's appearance was unclear because his eyes, mouth, and nose were all covered with brown mud. Near the body, there was a clay statue that had fallen into several pieces.
The other photo is less horrifying.
But there is also a corpse in the photo, and this corpse was killed by someone slashing the neck with a knife.
However, next to the corpse, a cracked clay statue also fell.
Ye Shutong: [The body in the first photo is not a tourist, nor is it someone we sent in. Based on his clothing and the totemic tattoos on his skin, we believe he is from a primitive tribe in the Ailao Mountains.
The body in the second photo is one of the first tourists to disappear.
Although the two died in different ways, there was a cracked clay statue next to their bodies, so we suspect that their deaths were somehow related.
Jiang Nanxi: [Which primitive tribe are you going to?]
Ye Shutong: [Yes, we've already entered the Ailao Mountains and are heading to the Saba tribe's territory. Those missing in the Ailao Mountains are likely dead. I want to find their bodies and figure out how they died.]
Jiang Nanxi: [I just encountered the "One-legged Goro" in the mountains. The way the deceased in the first photo died looks like the One-legged Goro sucked out his energy.]
Ye Shutong: [We also suspected that it was "One-legged Wulang" who killed him at first, but when I looked through ancient books, they all recorded that the monster "One-legged Wulang" was good at seducing souls and swallowing essence, and there was no text describing that it liked to eat human flesh and blood.
The deceased in the first photo had his stomach cut open and his internal organs were missing, as if he had been eaten by some creature.
Seeing the content sent by Ye Shutong, Jiang Nanxi thought of the "One-legged Wulang" he had just met.
"Did he mutate? Did he start eating meat?"
Jiang Nanxi muttered something, and then she saw on her watch that Ye Shutong had sent her a team link, inviting her to go to the Saba tribe's territory to investigate the matter.
The link Ye Shutong sent was an internal link to the Psychic Bureau. As long as Jiang Nanxi filled in the information, she could obtain specific information related to the mission.
She can also find out the level of the task and the reward after completing the task from the link.
This is also an S-level extremely dangerous mission.
When Jiang Nanxi saw the generous reward, she decisively filled out the information and submitted it.
Anyway, the Saba tribe’s territory is not far from them, so they can stay there for one night.
Jiang Nanxi looked at the position of the Saba tribe, and then led his teammates to change the route.
Jiang Nanxi said to the others, "It's getting dark. There's a primitive tribe nearby. We should go over and stay there for the night. It should be safer and more comfortable than staying in the woods."
The others had no objection and followed her.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was gradually pitch dark in the mountains and forests, making hiking more and more difficult.
Jiang Nanxi asked the big rooster to take out a super-powerful flashlight from the storage space. Once the flashlight was turned on, the area within fifty meters was like daytime.
The owl in the woods just opened its eyes to hunt, but when it was illuminated by the flashlight, it closed its eyes again and continued to sleep.
Netizens were originally a little worried about their safety, after all, it was dark and they had not reached their destination yet.
As a result, after seeing what the big rooster did, the audience watching the show were all shocked.
Our mythical beast is also a treasure trove, full of everything! Let's call you Doraemon!
[Hahahahahahahahaha, why is Aotian's flashlight so powerful? I feel like my eyes will be blinded if I walk past it!]
[Owl: Hmm? Time for bed again?]
They continued walking forward and saw a large sunken basin with many wooden buildings in it. They were probably near the Saba tribe's territory.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the nearby woods, and a mournful female voice was heard.
"Have you seen my child?"
"My child is missing. Who has seen my child?"
"My child..."
The mournful voice was getting closer and closer to them, as if it was whispering in their ears.
Lu Jiaqi suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from behind him. He got goosebumps all over his body and froze in place, not daring to move.
"Jiang Nanxi, I... I feel like there's someone behind me... Can you help me check?"
Jiang Nanxi took the flashlight and turned towards Lu Jiaqi.
