The increasingly excited and shrill laughter coming from behind was like the cry of a night owl, piercing the silent darkness.
But he seemed not to hear it, turning a deaf ear to the harsh sound, with only one firm belief in his heart - to move forward in the established direction.
He looked straight ahead and walked steadily, like a lone traveler, wandering forward in the black fog without hesitation.
At this moment, Ma Tuan just felt that he was so handsome and he should let his new friend come here with him!
Perhaps there was still a trace of nervousness in his heart, or perhaps he was too focused on the road ahead, he didn't notice at all that as he walked along, the bones scattered on the ground had undergone miraculous changes.
I saw that the bones and the thin "poisonous snakes" growing on them were instantly wrapped in a layer of crystal clear ice.
The ice spread rapidly, covering them tightly, as if putting a cold coat on these hideous objects.
Then, an astonishing scene appeared: those frozen bones and "poisonous snakes" gradually shriveled up as if all nutrients had been drained away.
At the same time, ice-blue flowers quietly bloomed from their tops. The petals were as transparent as crystal, sparkling with a cold light, like stars in the dark night.
This world filled with black fog seemed to hide many unknown secrets. Ma Tuan thought silently, and he keenly felt that the fog around him was not static, but was slowly flowing.
The mist seemed to have life, being driven by an invisible force, surging in a certain direction. In this case, he thought, let's just follow this airflow.
So he adjusted his direction and followed the flow of the fog.
As he walked, he felt more and more clearly that the terrain under his feet was gradually rising, and this upward trend was not in a straight line, but more like slowly rising along a winding mountain road.
Although his vision was a little blurry, Ma Tuan could still vaguely see some figures moving ahead. Moreover, it wasn't just one or two people, it looked like there were many people.
However, how could there be so many people in such a remote place?
Ma Tuan thought to himself that he even found it hard to believe that he said this.
However, after just 0.1 seconds of brief thought, Ma Tuan quickly made a decision - to quietly follow forward to find out what was going on.
As the distance got closer, Ma Tuan felt more and more frightened.
I originally thought it was just a small group of people, but I didn’t expect it to be a huge group of zombie-like creatures!
Since Ma Tuan was following these people, he could only see their backs.
The people were wearing tattered clothes with patches all over them, and the rotting flesh inside the clothes seemed to be about to fall out at any moment.
The bones in their bodies were in a miserable condition. Some had fallen off and disappeared, while others were swaying and barely supporting their bodies.
The journey was truly eye-opening for Ma Tuan. He saw an endless variety of bones: the occipital bone, humerus, sternum, temporal bone, patella, and so on, almost covering all 206 bones in the human body.
Looking at the dense crowd in front of him at this moment, Ma Tuan couldn't help but feel that the bones scattered on the ground that he had seen before were not surprising.
You have to know, there are an extremely large number of people gathered here! Even if only a tiny piece of bone is left on each person, the total amount is still staggering!
Not to mention the group of people in front of him, each of them looked so incomplete and fragmented, as if they had been wantonly destroyed by an invisible force.
Because of this, it is not surprising that there are countless bones scattered on both sides of the road along the way.
As for Ma Tuan, he just followed the team closely without saying a word.
Each of those people was as confused as a zombie and had no idea that Ma Tuan was following them.
Ma Tuan mustered up his courage and quietly moved forward to take a closer look. This time, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
It turned out that there were some children and elderly people mixed in this group of people! Although, these were judged by Ma Tuan based on their body shapes.
Some children and elderly people were unable to move forward due to exhaustion, but the people next to them turned a blind eye to this, and even stretched out their remaining limbs to pierce their bodies mercilessly, and then dragged them forward with difficulty.
It continued to drag on like this until every last bit of rotten flesh on these people's bodies was completely ground away, falling to the ground and turning into wisps of inky black smoke that dissipated without a trace;
And when the last bone in their body rolled to the ground, something even more horrifying happened:
Suddenly, tiny, slender, dark snakes hatched from the bones, twisting their bodies and slowly crawling...
Ma Tuan walked up step by step, and with every step he took, his height increased by one point.
As he continued to climb, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
His steps became slower and slower, as if an invisible force was dragging his feet.
Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet flattened out, and it seemed as if I had reached a flat land.
Ma Tuan looked up and found that the group of people in front had already dispersed, and those who could continue to move forward were still struggling to persevere.
