Chapter 424: The Yin Soldiers Borrow the Road

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong, so I raised my hand and patted my head hard, then shook my head and asked again: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly!"

"I said, we, we... seem to be lost!"

When I confirmed that I had heard correctly, I was dumbfounded.

Lost?

What the hell is going on?

Didn't Huang Jiu say that she had memorized the map in her mind?

And she also swore to me that there would be no mistakes.

How come I'm suddenly lost now?

We looked at each other and stood in the endless snowy mountains for several minutes in a daze, until the wind and snow blew in my face and hit my mask, and I came back to my senses.

I swallowed with a "gulp", and then said: "Did you really... burn the map? Didn't you leave a backup or something?"

Huang Jiu shook his head and said: "I did remember the map, but according to the time calculation, we should have reached the crack now, but look, here... Where is the crack?"

"Could you remember it wrong?" When rushing in such a snowy mountain, because there is white snow everywhere, it is easy to have two extreme illusions: standing still or having walked a long way.

Maybe Huang Jiu miscalculated the time. She overestimated our speed and planned the rest time incorrectly.

Or maybe, our vision was limited at night, and we might have already walked past the crack.

But Huang Jiu shook her head and said, "It's impossible. I made a careful calculation last night. And along the way, I calculated the number of steps we took every hour, and then calculated the distance. According to the number of steps we took in the past few hours, we should be near the crack now."

Huang Jiu didn't give up after saying that. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's walk a little more."

At this point, this is the only way.

I nodded, and then the two of us continued to move forward in the dark.

At this moment, we no longer care about anything. We turned on the strong light of the flashlight and scanned the snow-capped mountains recklessly.

However, the snow was white everywhere, and there was endless wind and snow everywhere. Where was the shadow of cracks?

Moreover, although the place where we were at the moment was steep, it was not so steep as to have a cliff. According to common sense, there could not be cracks in this kind of terrain. Even if there were cracks, they would go down. How could they lead directly to the top of the mountain?

"Don't look for it anymore." After about half an hour, I suddenly called Huang Jiu and said, "It's too late. We must find a sheltered place to spend the night."

Nearly ten hours have passed since we set out.

After walking in the snowy mountains for more than ten hours, even a strong man can't stand it, so we must rest as soon as possible to maintain our physical strength and energy.

"But our assault suits can only keep us warm for ten hours, so we must recharge them as soon as possible." Huang Jiu said.

I shook my head and said, "Ten hours is enough for us to get through until dawn. The temperature is too low at night. If there is no shelter, we can't cut off the power. When the temperature rises after dawn, we will recharge the assault suits."

At this point, there is no other way, so Huang Jiu didn't insist anymore. After nodding, he followed me to look for a snow cave suitable for overnight stay.

"Let's do it here." I found a place with a lot of accumulated pressure, and used the mountaineering pick in my hand to dig out a deep pit that could accommodate two people, and said, "You rest first, I'll keep watch."

Huang Jiu was not a person who dragged his feet. After hearing what I said, he nodded, then crawled into the snow nest, tightened his clothes, and began to close his eyes and rest.

But I took off my mask, took a deep breath, took out a pack of cigarettes from my backpack, unpacked it and lit one for myself.

"Hey, what the hell is this place? Why is it so cold? I'm going to freeze to death." Xiao Qi suddenly poked her head out of the backpack. The tip of her little pen was frozen red, and her delicate face was also red.

But what surprised me was that Xiao Qi actually changed her clothes.

Before, she was wearing a fairy dress, but now, she was wearing a heavy cotton jacket.

Xiao Qi was transformed by Luo Shu, and what she wore was entirely up to her own will. To put it bluntly, even if she transformed herself into a floral cotton jacket, I wouldn't be surprised.

"It's warm inside my clothes, do you want to go in?" I asked with a smile. Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll stay in my backpack."

After that, Xiao Qi looked at me expectantly and asked, "Hey Zhang Qianyu, is there anything to eat? I want to eat chicken legs, and the strawberries in your backpack are frozen, and I can't bite them."

I shook my head and said, "No, you eat the spiritual energy first, and I'll buy it for you when we get back."

"Okay." Xiao Qi pouted and shrank back.

I shook my head helplessly, but just as I put out the cigarette, Xiao Qi poked his head out again and said in a serious tone, "Zhang Qianyu, something is coming."

"Something is coming?" I was startled when I heard that, and quickly turned off the flashlight, squatting on the ground and scanning the surroundings with a vigilant look. 7K妏敩

But after looking around, I didn't find anything unusual, but I believed in Xiao Qi's perception, so I asked in confusion, "What is it? Why can't I see it?"

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "It's something bad, it seems... there are ghost soldiers passing through here."

"What!" I was shocked when I heard that.

The ghost soldiers borrowing the road have been recorded in many myths and legends, and even in ancient books, but I have never seen it. I have asked my master before, but even my master shook his head and said he had never seen it.

Therefore, I have always read the ancient book that recorded the ghost soldiers borrowing the road as a novel, but what I never expected was that today, on this endless snow mountain, I actually encountered it?

I took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in my heart, turned around and came to the snow cave.

Huang Jiu had fallen asleep, I jumped down and patted her arm, Huang Jiu slowly opened her eyes and asked: "Is it my turn to keep watch?"

"No, something is coming." After I finished speaking, I climbed out of the snow cave again, and then lay on the snow, quietly staring at the darkness around me.

Huang Jiu also climbed out of the snow nest, and lay beside me and asked nervously: "What is it? I started to be alert all around before going to bed, but I didn't receive any feedback that there was any creature approaching."

I looked at Huang Jiu when I heard it.

She started to be alert all around before going to bed?

What did she use to be alert?

I took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it, but just as I was about to speak, suddenly, I heard a heavy footsteps suddenly coming from the darkness.

My heart tightened, and I lowered my voice and said, "Here it comes!" The Yin Soldiers Borrowed the Road
