Chapter 666 Something is coming
At this moment, the deep forest was filled with cold winds and thick fog. As the cold winds raged, all of us stared with wide eyes, as if we had seen a ghost.
"What's going on? Why is Nangong Xiayu missing?" Old Kong asked Xiao Fan with wide eyes.
When the Ten Thousand Year Corpse King was welcoming his bride, Nangong Xiayu was so frightened that he almost screamed, but Xiao Fan covered his mouth and did not alarm the Ten Thousand Year Corpse King.
So at this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan also looked panicked. When he saw us looking at him, he shook his head: "I, I don't know. He was right next to me just now, but... later my attention was almost focused on the wedding procession, and I didn't notice him at all."
After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Wu Sheng and I couldn't help but look at each other, and we both saw a touch of astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Damn it, light the bonfire. With the bonfire as the center, everyone will form teams of two and go to look separately. Don't go too far. If you haven't found it in half an hour, go back to the bonfire." Lao Kong cursed loudly, and then he and several young warriors lit the bonfire together.
Lao Kong was born in the military, so he was naturally very good at this. At this moment, even Wu Sheng and I had no objection to Lao Kong's arrangement.
"Old Wu, you and Qian Yu are both highly skilled in Taoism. Each of you should pick a team with no skilled members. Xiao Li and Xiao Fan, you two are familiar with each other. You two should be in one team. The rest should follow me." Old Kong arranged the personnel in an instant, then turned his head to look at Yu Wei. Seeing that Yu Wei did not seem to have the intention to follow the others in their search, he ignored him.
"Do as Old Kong said, move!" Mr. Wu whispered. Everyone did not dare to delay. They moved in teams of two. After each of them had their eyes on a direction, they entered the mist.
The team member following me was Xiao Long, who had run into the evil spirit before. At this moment, he looked nervous as he followed me, scanning the surroundings from time to time.
But the fog here is too heavy, and visibility is too low. Let alone looking for someone, if Xiaolong and I are separated a little, we might get separated.
"Follow me closely, don't get separated, and don't act rashly if you find something wrong!" I told Xiaolong, and then, with one hand on the short knife, I quickly walked into the depths of the fog.
"Captain Zhang, which direction did the wedding party just go? We... won't run into them, right?" At this time, Xiaolong suddenly spoke behind me. I turned my head and shook my head.
The wedding party went to the southwest, which leads directly to the Hatching Land, and Xiaolong and I were looking in the west. As long as the two of us don't take detours and keep looking in a straight line, we won't run into the wedding party.
Moreover, the wedding procession was moving very fast. After such a long time, they were estimated to have walked a long way.
"Nangong..." Xiaolong and I groped forward and called out in a low voice. However, in the thick fog, only the "whoosh" sound of the wind was echoing, and there was no response from Nangong Xiayu.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Xiaolong behind me suddenly said, "Captain Zhang, the fog here is too heavy. It's not a good idea to keep searching like this!"
Xiaolong was right. The fog here is so heavy, and in this deep mountain forest, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, if you are not careful, an accident may happen.
"Captain Zhang, I heard about a similar incident from an older squad leader when I was in the army." Xiaolong followed behind me and whispered, "Those old squad leaders have all carried out missions at the border. One squad leader said that they were also in the rainforest at the time, and suddenly there was a heavy fog. There were a total of ten people traveling together, and three of them were lost. They searched for the whole night, and when they found them, they discovered that two of them had... hanged themselves. One of them seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and kept walking in circles in the same place. Captain Zhang, do you think... Nangong Xiayu could have been taken away by some dirty thing?"
I frowned when I heard that.
What Xiaolong said was not impossible. After all, the suona sound we heard before seemed to have magic power. Even I felt a sting in my eardrums and a dizzy head, as if the suona sound could seduce souls.
"However, if Nangong Xiayu was really seduced by the wedding party, it is impossible that only he was seduced!" Xiaolong muttered again, and I was shocked when I heard it.
Among our group, I, Wu Sheng, Xiao Li and Xiao Fan all have Taoism, so we can resist the magic sound of the suona. Although Lao Kong and others have no Taoism, they are military men with extremely strong willpower, so they are not afraid of this magic sound. But Nangong Xiayu is different. His way of practice is very different from ours, a way that I find difficult to understand.
And along the way, not only I, but everyone has a certain understanding of his character.
His willpower is not strong at all, and it can even be said that he has no willpower at all!
"Damn, this Nangong Xiayu may really be lured away by the wedding party." I cursed angrily, then stopped and turned to Xiaolong and said, "Don't look for her, let's go back first."
Xiaolong nodded, and then we turned around and went back in the direction we came from.
However, after walking back for about ten minutes, Xiaolong and I were both stunned.
"Captain Zhang, we walked for almost ten minutes when we came here, and now we have walked back for ten minutes, but why haven't we seen the fire yet?" Xiaolong opened his eyes wide, as if trying to see the surroundings clearly, but the fog was too heavy, not to mention him, even I could only see about one meter around.
"Walk a little further!" At this time, I already had a bad premonition in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud. I just held the short knife at my waist tightly, squinted my eyes and continued to walk forward.
After walking for about ten more minutes, my heart sank, because I knew that we might have lost our way.
"Don't go." I stopped and whispered, "We may be lost. Even if we continue walking, we can't go back."
"Then, what should we do!" Hearing this, Xiaolong panicked immediately, holding the rifle tightly with one hand, and said, "We, we won't be bewitched by something dirty, right?"
"I don't know." I shook my head.
To be honest, I was a little confused at this time. If we were really bewitched by something, and this thing, whether it was a ghost or an evil spirit, I should be able to detect it, at least I should be able to detect the evil spirit or the yin spirit.
But the yin spirit here is extremely heavy. Under the cover of such heavy yin spirit, even if there is a powerful ghost hidden in the mist, I may not be able to detect it.
"Rest where you are and wait until daybreak!"
This is a helpless solution, because after daybreak, the fog here will surely dissipate. Even if it doesn't dissipate, it won't be as thick as it is now, and evil things won't dare to continue to come out and cause trouble. Only by continuing to walk at that time will we have a chance to find the way back.
Although I said to rest on the spot, who dares to rest at this time?
Xiaolong and I both half-crouched on the spot, staring with eyes and looking around vigilantly. After about ten minutes, I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, and then turned my head sharply.
"What's wrong, Captain Zhang?" Xiaolong asked in a low voice when he saw my serious face.
I grasped the handle of the short knife at my waist, and then said to Xiaolong with a vigilant face: "Something is coming!"
