Chapter 129: The Disappearing Channel

Follow the display on the map, pass the fork in front of you, and then head south. After crossing the two peaks, turn east and walk to a section, you will arrive at a special place.

I can't say what this place is. From the map, there are two giant hands on it, as if to keep outsiders away, and I don't know if there is a deeper metaphor. And behind the giant hands, there is a narrow passage, which is between the mountains, and it must be a tunnel in the mountains. At the other end of the tunnel, there is a blank place with a few curves on it, as if to express the meaning of clouds and mist. Next to the clouds and mist, the strange words written in the City of Devils are written.

I led the nine people behind me forward. The map was in my pocket, but I didn't take it out to refer to it and groped forward with the memory in my mind. Four evil men were eyeing this map behind me. Although it was not a safe place to put it on myself, it would be safer to prevent them from seeing this thing.

It was already past 5 a.m. Although it was summer, the sky was still dark and without a trace of light. Large areas of snowflakes kept falling down, hitting my face with a bit of coldness. My mood was as depressed and depressed as this dark sky, and it contained a hint of irritability.

My overall plan has been completely disrupted, and my nerves, which were already tense, were still tense. Along the way, I had to beware of the blood demon's surprise attack, but also always prepared to deal with the four hungry wolves behind me. In addition, Ji Wenhui, Gao Lin, and Ji Saner, these three vulnerable groups must also be inseparable from our care. All the problems are concentrated on this journey full of thorns, and for me, a young boy who is not well-educated, I do not have enough ability to deal with this complex situation in all aspects.

All of this made me feel anxious. The originally quite high mood has fallen to freezing point. However, I am not the only one who is depressed. In normal times, even the prince who has to talk a few words when the sky falls, suddenly becomes gloomy. Along the way, he always frowned and silent, his expression full of worry, and he doesn't know what he was thinking in his big bald head.

The group walked and stopped in the wind and snow. Because everyone's speed was fast and slow, it was quite difficult to move forward. After passing the fork, the snow became even more intense. I was worried that it would take more energy to continue like this, so I stopped behind a cliff and asked everyone to find a higher terrain to set up a camp to set up a fire, eat some food first, and then take a nap for a while, otherwise my body would definitely not be able to bear it.

Ten of us brought a total of four tents, which was more than enough, but due to various reasons, it took a lot of trouble to allocate them.

The Fentian Seal and the Hulutou must live in the same room, and the southerners and the Yinzi must be like this. In this way, there are only two left in the camp. Ji Wenhui and Ji Saner naturally live together, but except for the three of us, there is only one more Gao Lin.

Such a young girl naturally could not be sent to the camp of the two tomb robbers. The other two also had a grudge against her to kill relatives. Even if they were willing to stay with her, I am afraid Gao Lin would not agree. I wanted Gao Lin to squeeze in the camp of the Ji brothers and sisters, but she was so mean to stay in the same tent with me. She said that she and the Ji brothers and sisters didn't know each other, so it would be awkward to live together.

The two women were secretly competing, not looking at each other, but one looked hot and the other was as cold as ice. All four eyes were staring at me, which made me laugh and cry. I couldn't mention the awkwardness in my heart.

Seeing Ji Minhui's face becoming increasingly ugly, I didn't dare to have too much entanglement with Gao Lin, so I let the prince move into the tent of the Ji brothers and sisters. The prince and Gao Lin finally got to know each other, so she probably had no other excuses.

Gao Lin pouted her mouth and acted extremely reluctantly, and was still talking to me. I felt nothing to worry about, but the prince suddenly became impatient. He frowned and shouted to Gao Lin, "Do you sleep? If you don't come in, just play with the snow!" After that, he lifted the curtain and got into the tent by himself.

Gao Lin was stunned by the prince for a moment. After a while, she slowly came to her senses. She didn't want to say anything more, so she had to walk into the camp in disappointment.

Ji San'er had been so sleepy that he was yawning all over the sky. He reached out to pull La Ji Minhui, and then crawled in lazily through the curtain. Ji Minhui glared at me coldly before entering the bill, and without waiting for me to express anything, he entered the bill without looking back.

I smiled bitterly helplessly, and said that the saying "Beauty is a disaster" is indeed good. I don't know what evil I committed in my previous life, which makes me entangled with these two women in this life. I didn't do anything shameful, but now I'm becoming like a sinner. Gao Lin repeatedly adds fuel to the fire, making a simple thing more and more complicated, which is really a headache for me.

Then I told the prince and the others to sleep peacefully, and that no accidents would happen in the short term. The ultimate goal of those people is the treasure in the Devil City. They have requests from me now, so they will naturally not harm others.

However, I was different. If they were allowed to take the opportunity to get the map on me, the situation would change immediately and would inevitably lead to a greater crisis. So I only had the bearded man and I take turns to watch. The two of them slept for three hours respectively. When I woke up, the wind and snow outside had quietly stopped under a flashing sun.

After eating some high-calorie food, the group calmed down and embarked on the journey forward again.

Because the light is clear and the situations beyond several miles can be seen at a glance, the speed of progress this time is much faster than before. But the altitude here is too high. Gao Lin, Ji Minhui, and Ji Saner all experienced symptoms of poor breathing. Fortunately, we were quite prepared this time and had purchased equipment such as portable oxygen cylinders in advance, so it did not hinder our trip.

As we were moving, everyone gradually began to have a brief conversation. Although they still had grudges between each other, they could say a few words casually.

The southerner told me that his name was Ding Yi. This is a false name. Anyway, the real name cannot be expressed. It would be better to find the simplest one as a name. It would be easier to call it in the future. Under normal circumstances, the Yin-eating Scarlet Skin cannot speak, and it is easy to dissipate the corpse energy. Let's call him Ding Er for now.

Ding Er and the bearded man had a good relationship. He didn't seem to have the cunning intentions of Ding Yi. To put it bluntly, this person was a bit stupid and ignorant. He often grabbed some snow chickens from the snow and gave them to the bearded man. When he saw the bearded man cooked and chewed, although there was no expression on his face, he could still see a trace of joy and comfort in his eyes. His actions seemed to be to thank the bearded man for not dissipating his corpse energy that day, so he used it to repay the bearded man's kindness.

After walking around at night for three days, on the fourth day, we finally climbed over the two white snow-capped mountains. We turned east and continued to move deeper.

After walking for another day, the road in front of him suddenly became wide open. At the same time, two insurmountable vertical cliffs appeared directly in front of not far away. The two sides of the mountains were tightly adjacent to each other, just like two huge palms. From a distance, they looked really like the ones depicted on the map, and the two giant hands kept all outsiders away.

I pointed to the cliff in front and said to everyone, "Here, from here..." Before I finished speaking, I saw Ding Yi, the three men of the Flying Sky Seal, and the Gourd Head rushed over as if they were flying. They thought that the cliff was the city of devils, and their ugly faces immediately appeared, for fear of being one step later than others. Only Ding Er followed us slowly. Perhaps in his opinion, those so-called treasures were of no significance.

We followed slowly, and saw the three of us standing under the cliff, scratching our hair in a daze. I looked closely and found no caves or tunnels on the cliff. This was amazing. The map clearly showed that there should be a passage in this place. How could there be only two mountain walls, and there was no sign of any passage?

At this time, I didn't care whether these outsiders were present or not. I quickly took out the photos and looked at them carefully. But no matter how I looked, the route we were taking was absolutely correct. Why did the map and the actual situation have such a big deviation?

I looked at the mountain wall in confusion, and couldn't even speak for a moment. When Ding Yi and Fantianyin saw me holding the photo, they came over and looked at me secretly. These two people were not casual. The route they took had been deeply imprinted in their minds, so I did not impose an obstacle. In fact, I also wanted them to help me with some advice and see if the route we took was wrong.

The two of them carefully compared the map. Although they didn't know the text on it, they should know the route outlined with curves. After watching for a while, they all raised their heads and looked at me blankly. They knew without asking, and they were also wondering why the route was right, but the tunnel that should have appeared disappeared bizarrely?

I ignored them, but thought hard in my mind without saying a word.

The terrain and location of the mountain wall in front of me are exactly the same as those depicted on the map, which means we definitely did not take the wrong route. According to the map, there should have been a long and narrow passage on the mountain wall, and you can reach the last Devil's City along this passage. But at this time, not only is the mountain wall bare and empty, but there is no road to go on the left and right sides, and there is no other passage around us. At this time, we are like being surrounded in the center of many cliffs, and the only way out is to return the same way.

There are only two possibilities in front of me. One is that we took the wrong route and arrived at a place we shouldn't have reached. The other is even more desperate, that is, the route in this map is actually fake.

However, the first possibility has been ruled out by me very surely, that is to say, only the second answer can explain this?

But this map is not on the surface, but is hidden behind the "Soul-Suppressing the Soul". We took great effort to see this map. Could it be that the person who hid the map had spent so much effort to hide a fake map?

No, absolutely no, there must be a mystery that we have not discovered, but my attitude towards this matter is somewhat preconceived, and I have not found the secret yet.

Just when I was at a loss, Ji Minhui suddenly walked under the mountain wall quietly. She stretched out her hand and walked forward along the mountain wall, while constantly stroking the stone wall on the mountain. The other nine people didn't understand what she wanted, and they all stared at her with wide eyes and puzzled.

She walked along the mountain wall for a while, then squatted down and rubbed it hard on the corner of the wall for a few times, then stood up and continued walking along the mountain wall. She suddenly raised her head up, lowered her head down, and then put her ear on the stone wall and listened carefully. It seemed as if she was checking something, but it seemed that she was hysterical, and her behavior was like sleepwalking.

My heart suddenly became tight, and I suddenly remembered what Liu Qianhu said to us at that time. Their master and disciple had hallucinations in this area, and then they were catalyzed into a demon by the magic of the turtle stone. This place is quite close to the Devil's City. According to our speculation, there must be a large number of turtle stones in that place. Could it be that Ji Wenhui was already disturbed by the turtle stones and became crazy after being infected?
