Chapter 36

The sky is bright and the rain is fading.

The gigantic beast that had been glimpsed disappeared without a trace, as if in an illusion.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and sat down by the fire again, temporarily dispelling the opportunity to leave.

It seems safer inside than outside.

Yao Yuzhi didn't speak either, she looked away, and sat down with her waist bent and slender, the two of them just sat around the fire in a daze, each with their own thoughts.

It wasn't until the firewood was burned out and the charcoal turned red that Chuhe got up and looked outside the door. Seeing that the rain had stopped and the fog was rising, he turned around and said, "The rain has stopped, Miss Yao, let's stay here and see you later."

After saying that, Chuhe turned and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, the fog was hazy, and the bluestone path was piled up on the ground, about ten meters away, connecting to a black path paved with obsidian.

Under the washing of rainwater, obsidian is as deep and smooth as black gemstone.

It is rumored that obsidian will produce a special kind of fluctuation, which can cover up the popularity of people, so that 60.00% of the strange people will not be able to smell the popularity. This is why obsidian is used as a material for paving roads.

Chuhe stepped onto the path, his feet exerted strength, the puddle swayed lightly, and his whole body was like a flying arrow flying away from the string, heading towards Heihe Town at a very high speed.

Passing a fork in the road, Chuhe suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the figure behind him with a gloomy face: "Miss Yao, what do you mean?"

"..."

The breeze caressed the forest, gently blowing the curtain of the bamboo hat, the white and beautiful chin was looming, but the person behind it was silent.

Just as Chuhe was thinking about the other party's purpose, Yao Yuzhi suddenly stretched out his jade hand to hold down the curtain that was slowly turning up, and said in a low voice: "Well...Chu...Chuhe, take me out of the foggy forest, and I ask you to open..."

"This……"

Chuhe looked at the woman in front of him in puzzlement.

Didn't she tell her the way to get out of the misty forest before, as long as you follow the narrow path and go north, you can get out of the forest.

Why let yourself lead the way?
For a moment, Chuhe was vigilant, thinking that the other party had bad intentions.

"Sorry, Miss Yao, I'm used to walking alone."

Chuhe politely refused.

Yao Yuzhi turned his palm over, the golden light flashed away, raised his hand and tossed it lightly, and threw a bunch of gleaming gold ingots towards the Chu River.

Chu He frowned, and pinched the gold ingot with his fingers wrapped in gold film. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he turned his head displeased and said, "Miss Yao, do you think Chu is that kind of money-grubbing person? I'm used to being alone. "

Gently rubbing the surface of the gold ingot with your fingertips, the weight is about three taels at least, which is enough to be a huge sum of money in a small mountain village where Chuhe was born.

"Isn't that enough?"

Yao Yuzhi murmured softly as the black gauze curtain swayed.

"No, it's not about money..."

Before he finished speaking, the other party threw another gold ingot.

Chuhe frowned, feeling greatly insulted.

"No, you..."

"Wait, let me talk first..."

"Listen to me first..."

"alright, you win."

Looking at the four or five gold ingots in his hand, Chuhe stopped speaking weakly.

She knows how to throw money at people.

Chuhe was born in poverty, and he didn't have a few taels of silver.

To be honest, I really can't bear the temptation of money.

"Now, is it okay?"

Yao Yuzhi walked up to Chuhe and blinked her eyes.

"Haha, yes, I just happen to be going to Heihe Town, and it's just a matter of taking you out of the misty forest." Chuhe smiled enthusiastically, and he couldn't see the coldness of being thousands of miles away before.

"Let's go then."

Yao Yuzhi twisted her white jade neck and said as she walked.

"it is good."

Chu He readily agreed, and stuffed the gold ingot into his bosom, but after walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly, Yao Yuzhi noticed the strange movement of Chu River, the curtain trembled, and turned his head and asked, "Why don't you leave? "

"Eh..." Chu He showed a strange face, pointing to another fork in the road: "That direction is the north, the road leading to Heihe Town."

Yao Yuzhi's body shook, and she pretended to be calm and said:
"Ok, I know."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, followed by Chu Hejing.

He frowned, as if he knew why she followed him.

…………

Heihe Town.

The black water kept churning, splashing little waves.

The black water river several meters wide flows along the edge of the sparse jungle. A huge megalithic fortress is built close to the periphery of the black water river. It leads to the misty forest on the opposite bank, and there is only a two meter wide iron chain ropeway.

Under the cableway is the surging black water, and the pungent smell emanates from the river water. From time to time, hideous and strange heads are exposed in the black water, and the scarlet eyes are like red lanterns hung by every family during the Chinese New Year.

When Hong Shou was dying, he told Chuhe about the nature of Tuhe Village. At its root, it was actually a driving point of a large formation. There were dozens of villages representing driving points like them distributed in the misty forest.

The destroyed Li Village is also one of them.

The real driving thing is in the deepest part of the village. No one knows what it is, only that at every point of time, a strange human-like head will be born around the village.

At that time, the warrior guards in the village would contact the imperial court to jointly suppress and arrest this strange head, and seal it in the earth temple.

Temporarily used as a substitute for guarding the village.

When the aura of the head is almost gone, the next head will be born again, replacing the original sculpture of the land god again and again.

Every time Chuhe thinks of this place, he feels inexplicably familiar.

Isn't this renewable energy?

Of course, this kind of thing is naturally dangerous. Once the seal is accidentally broken, the result is that the lives of the whole village will be buried with it.

Li Village is a lesson from the past.

Tutou Village was a purely man-made disaster. If it wasn't for Hong Shou holding half a token, the head stitched up by Li Fang could only use the power of the hair. Otherwise, the fate of Tutou Village might not be much worse than that of Li Village.

As for the central hub of all these driving points... it is Heihe Town in front of you!
Chuhe stood on the bank of the Heihe River, with the waves and the wind blowing on his body, his flowing black hair was flying, his eyes were full of willfulness, and he really wanted to open his mouth and shout in the wind.

but……

The strong emotions were suppressed, and finally turned into heavy sighs.

"Finally out of the foggy forest."

The thick and oppressive mist disappeared, and the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, and his mood improved a little unconsciously. Although there was still a faint mist drifting away, it was already dispensable for the Chu River.

A layer of faint blue light appeared in front of Yao Yuzhi on one side, offsetting most of the strong wind, but the wind that blew in still showed her uneven and graceful figure to the fullest.

Yao Yuzhi blinked her bright eyes.

At the same time, I was relieved.

After being trapped in the forest for more than ten days, I finally came out.

She turned her eyes to Chuhe who was sighing.

Chu He calmed down, turned his head to Yao Yuzhi, and was about to speak, when suddenly, his neck felt cold, and a faint sense of crisis lingered in his heart.
