"What... what happened? How could the blood have disappeared so quickly?"
After Lao Hei and his men buried those strange little signs, they were a little alarmed to find that the blood had disappeared.
Uncle Zhao's eyes were filled with surprise. He said, "Never mind that for now, let's hurry up and cut down the tree and get out of here."
Originally, everyone planned to rest for a while and then leave after cutting down the trees, so when they saw this situation, they didn't want to stay any longer and all hurried on their way.
Old Wu told Fatty to take Yue Jiu Nian and the others away, while he led the way with Jiang Yan behind him. He said to Old Hei and Uncle Zhao, "We've passed this village and cut down the trees, are we almost there?"
Old Hei kept walking without saying a word, his face grim. He looked around and said, "That's about right. According to my estimate, it should be around here."
As he was talking, he suddenly pointed to a hillside in front of him and said, "It's over there. Let's go—we'll get there once we cross that hillside."
This place is all mountains and forests. Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai have been walking with them for a long time, so they are tired. They were thinking that if they still couldn't find the place, they would take Jiang Yan and leave the group to find it on their own. But fortunately, Lao Hei finally said that he had found it.
The hillside in front doesn't look very high, and it shouldn't be too difficult to climb, but there are a lot of rocks and trees on it, so it will take a bit of effort to get up.
When Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai were climbing the mountain, they were tied together with a rope and dragged up. Old Wu used this method because he was worried that they would not be able to climb up and would fall down.
Actually, Yue Jiu and Nian had no objection to being tied up. The only thing that puzzled them was that when climbing the hill, everyone moved cautiously and carefully, as if they were afraid of being discovered by someone. They rarely even made a sound, which made them very confused.
Just as Yue Jiu Nian felt that they were all acting strangely and was about to ask them what was going on, she suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the hillside.
'Aww~ Goo~'
The call was very loud and strange, and it was clear that it was very close to them. The only regret was that they couldn't tell what animal it was.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
When Yue Jiuzai heard this voice, he was about to ask everyone what was going on when Lao Hei and Lao Wu suddenly grabbed him and Yue Jiunian, one on each side, and dragged them forward.
"Heh, what do you think we arrested you for? Wasn't it just to be a shield?"
Old Hei twisted Yue Jiuzai's arm and pushed her forward, forcing her to walk. He had a sinister and vicious smile on his face, but also a hint of fear in his expression.
"Go on, if you don't want to die, you'd better keep quiet, or you'll suffer a terrible death."
Being led around by Lao Hei and Lao Wu like this made Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai very unhappy. At the same time, they were also very confused. Weren't they leading them along just fine before? Why did they change after hearing this strange voice? Could it be that the owner of this strange voice is a very dangerous monster?
Fortunately, they didn't have to think about this problem for long, because they soon saw the true face of the 'giant monster'.
"What the hell is this?!"
When the Nine Calamities of the Moon saw a monster that looked like a crocodile but resembled a wild boar, he was completely stunned!
Under a large tree not far from her, a monster with the body of a crocodile and the head of a wild boar was sleeping, and the strange sound she had just heard was its snoring.
"Shh~"
When they saw the crocodile-boar monster sleeping, Lao Hei and his men breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer so tense.
However, the crocodile-boar monster was sleeping right on the path they needed to climb, so if they wanted to continue upwards, they would have to get past the crocodile-boar monster.
Upon seeing this, everyone began to secretly try to pass by the crocodile-boar monster.
Uncle Zhao was the first to act. He took out a dagger and held it horizontally in front of his chest, gesturing at Lao Hei and Lao Wu a few times. Then he quietly started to walk towards the crocodile-boar monster, seemingly intending to pass by it.
Seeing this situation, Yue Jiu Nian wanted to cause trouble. In this situation, if she shouted, she could wake up the crocodile-boar monster, and then no one would be able to survive.
She only thought about it and didn't actually cause any trouble, since she still needed to rely on these people to get to the treasure's location.
The crocodile-boar monster was fast asleep; it lay on the ground snoring happily, showing no signs of waking up, so Uncle Zhao quickly passed it.
Seeing that Uncle Zhao had already gone over, the remaining people also began to follow his example, moving one by one towards the crocodile-boar monster.
One, two, three... After everyone had almost passed the crocodile and boar monsters, only Lao Wu and Lao Hei were left, along with their 'shields' Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai.
Old Hei glanced at Old Wu, then gently pushed Yue Jiu Nian forward, whispering, "Let's go, watch your step, don't wake it up, it's a monster that can bite you to death."
On the surface, Yue Jiu Nian pretended to be very scared, but in her heart she didn't take it seriously at all. However, she still tried to walk quietly, after all, she still had to get through this hurdle.
