Night was falling.
Wei Hua walked downstairs to Su Yang's apartment. He looked at the bright light inside, but he couldn't bring himself to step inside.
After hesitating for about half a minute, he finally turned and left.
Two men standing nearby asked, "Brother Wei, are you really not going to invite that person? If it's just us..."
The two men were Wei Hua's brothers, named Wei Chu and Zhu Chong respectively.
Wei Hua waved his hand: "Brother Su Yang has already done more than enough. He gave me a sword seal. Since he said he could protect us, he definitely can!"
Zhu Chong's face was somewhat solemn: "But so many experts have not returned, so the disaster may not be ordinary."
Wei Hua turned around and slowly walked away, saying calmly, "If you want to come with me, then come. If you're afraid, then stay at the martial arts school and instruct the new disciples."
Upon hearing this, a stubborn look appeared in the eyes of the two men.
They chuckled softly, "If you're scared now, won't you become a laughingstock when you go back? Oh well, what's the difference between dying sooner or later? What if you succeed? Won't you become a great hero? The two of us will go with you and give it a try!"
Wei Hua smiled slightly and said nothing.
They turned around, picked up some weapons, and the three of them walked straight toward a small hill in the distance.
now.
Su Yang stood on the windowsill upstairs, his hands behind his back, watching the departing figure, lost in thought.
Green Mountain.
It's about a 20-minute walk from Wei Family Martial Arts School to here, but those 20 minutes felt incredibly long. Especially since the area around Cuishan has been designated a restricted zone, there's hardly a soul in sight.
Reaching the foot of the mountain, in the dead of night, visibility was utterly poor. The streetlights were scarce, and many were broken. The darkness and desolation of the ascent instantly filled the three men's hearts. Coupled with the absolute silence all around—not even the chirping of insects or birds—the terror in their hearts was amplified to an immense degree!
"That son of a bitch, hiding like this, if he's got a temper, he should come out and fight us!" Wei Chu's face was rather ugly.
Their situation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, but the quieter it was, the stronger their fear became. Especially since the moment they started climbing the mountain, they had felt a buzzing in their heads, as if something was calling out to them.
This green mountain is no more than two hundred meters high, so how could it make people feel uncomfortable?
They shook their heads and continued walking uphill.
The further Wei Hua went, the more uneasy he felt.
Previously, Cuishan Mountain wasn't large, just covering a wide area, and it was frequented by many people, mostly children and the elderly who exercised there. However, after several disappearances occurred on Cuishan Mountain, it was designated a restricted area, and few people came to the mountain anymore.
Wei Hua remembered very clearly that no matter how big Cuishan was before, not every tree could block out the sky. The many trees blocking their way now completely blocked out the sky, and the path they were taking was also submerged by low bushes.
"How could Cuishan have changed so much in just a few days?" Wei Hua frowned.
"Wei Hua, look here."
At this moment, Wei Chu noticed the mud pit he had sunk into.
There is a footprint here that looks like a fox or a wolf, and it is quite large, about half a meter long! Perhaps it was the rainy weather a few days ago that left such a footprint here.
But upon seeing these footprints, Wei Hua and the others felt an even greater sense of fear!
This is just a footprint, and it's already so big. How big must the calamity that left this footprint be, and the entire body that carried it?!
"Brother Wei... could this be the culprit behind those people's disappearances?" Zhu Chong's voice trembled slightly.
From childhood to adulthood, when had they ever seen the footprints of this monster?
Even if they had witnessed some disasters, they were at most a little bigger than humans. When had they ever seen a footprint that was half a meter long?
They finally understood why those skilled fighters, those so-called elite mercenaries, were helpless and even lost their lives here. Just seeing this monster was enough to send chills down their spines!
Wei Hua did not speak.
He wasn't sure, but he was certain that the person who left the footprint must have been enormous. But why hadn't the exploration team seen something so large during the day?
Or is this disaster hiding somewhere?
"Hmm?" Wei Hua suddenly noticed a black object in the distance.
I quickly ran over and realized it was a phone call.
Wei Hua frowned and said, "Could this be the cell phone of those mercenaries?"
"Brother Wei! There's something here too!"
Zhu Chong noticed something and quickly called out.
Soon the two of them came over as well.
There were many scraps of flesh, bone fragments, and blood left here, and on the nearby boulder, there were extremely sharp claw marks! In the darkness, it was impossible to see the claw marks on the stone without careful observation!
Zhu Chong, his body trembling slightly, asked, "Brother Wei, could all of these be...?"
Wei Hua nodded silently: "Yes, it's very likely that it was someone who came before."
Zhu Chong's expression was rather unpleasant.
Although they were all martial artists, they had rarely seen people die or be injured, let alone have only broken bones and bits of flesh left behind. This method was extremely cruel!
They suppressed their fear and continued deeper into the mountains and forests.
At that moment, they witnessed a scene that left them speechless!
Countless corpses lay scattered on the ground, and not a single skeleton was intact. Some even had their internal organs exposed. The faces of those whose faces were still relatively intact were filled with terror!
The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, and the sight almost made Zhu Chong vomit.
Upon seeing this, Wei Hua's expression also turned ugly.
Not only were there the remains of these people, but there were also many broken weapons all around, and these weapons were almost identical, having been cut off by sharp claw marks!
At this moment, he was certain.
The giant claw mark they had seen earlier was the calamity that killed these people!
call--
Sudden!
A gust of wind swept across my face, and a terrifying roar echoed through the air!
Zhu Chong collapsed to the ground with a thud. At that moment, his inner terror was fully unleashed! His eyes glazed over as he stared blankly around him, his body trembling as he uttered, "It's over...it's all over! We're all going to die, we're all going to die!!"
Zhu Chong roared almost frantically.
Wei Hua turned around and shouted, "Hey! Don't give up like that!"
However, just as Wei Hua uttered those words...
A dark shadow swept past him without him noticing. The shadow had sharp, knife-like claws that easily slashed Zhu Chong's throat.
The next second.
A head flew right through Wei Hua's eyes!
