Chapter 36 The beautiful shadow behind, Black River Cableway

The sky is clear and the rain is getting lighter.

The giant beast that was 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 giving up the chance to leave.

It seems safer inside than outside.

Yao Yuzhi didn't say anything, she withdrew her gaze, bent down and sat down. The two of them just sat around the fire in a daze, each with their own thoughts.

It wasn't until the firewood burned out and the charcoal turned red that Chu He stood up and looked outside the door. Seeing that the rain had stopped and the mist was rising, he turned around and said, "The rain has stopped. Miss Yao, let's say goodbye here. See you later."

After saying this, Chu He turned around and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, there was a hazy mist, and bluestone paths were piled on the ground, about ten meters apart, connected to a black path paved with obsidian.

When washed by rain, obsidian becomes as deep and smooth as black gemstones.

It is said that obsidian can produce a special kind of fluctuation, which can cover up the popularity of people, making 60% of the weird people unable to smell the popularity. It is for this reason that obsidian is used as a road paving material.

Chu He stepped onto the trail, exerting force with his feet, and the puddles swayed lightly. He was like a flying arrow, heading towards Heihe Town at a very fast speed.

When passing a fork in the road, Chu He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the figure behind him with a gloomy face: "Miss Yao, what do you mean?"

"..."

The breeze blew through the forest, gently blowing the curtains of the bamboo hat, and the white and beautiful chin was looming, but the person behind him remained silent.

Just as Chu He was trying to figure out the other party's purpose, Yao Yuzhi suddenly stretched out his jade hand to press the curtain that was slowly turning up, and whispered: "Well... Chu... Chu He, take me out of the misty forest, if you agree..."

"this……"

Chu He looked at the woman in front of him in confusion.

Didn't I tell her the way to get out of the misty forest before? Just follow the winding path and go north to get out of the forest.

Why let yourself lead the way?

For a moment, Chu He was wary, secretly thinking that the other party had evil intentions.

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

Chu He politely declined.

I saw Yao Yuzhi flipping his palm, and the golden light flashed away. He raised his hand and threw it gently, and a bunch of sparkling gold ingots were thrown towards the Chu River.

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

"

He gently rubbed the surface of the gold ingot with his fingertips. The weight of this gold ingot was at least three taels, which would be a huge sum of money in the small mountain village where Chuhe was born.

"Isn't it enough?"

The black gauze curtain swayed and Yao Yuzhi whispered softly.

"No, this is not about money..."

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

Chu He frowned, feeling extremely insulted.

"No, you..."

"Wait, let me speak first..."

"Listen to me first..."

"alright, you win."

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

She knows how to use money to hit people.

Chu He was born in poverty and did not have a few taels of money.

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

"Is it okay now?"

Yao Yuzhi walked up to Chu He and blinked.

"Haha, yes, I happen to be going to Heihe Town, and it's just a matter of course to take you out of the foggy forest." Chu He smiled warmly, without any sign of his previous indifference, which seemed to exclude others from thousands of miles away.

"Then let's go."

Yao Yuzhi twisted her fair neck and said as she walked.

"good."

Chu He readily agreed and stuffed the gold ingot into his arms, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped. Yao Yuzhi noticed Chu He's movement, the curtains shook, and turned around and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"

"Uh..." Chu He looked strange and pointed to another branch of the road: "That direction is the north, the road leading to Heihe Town."

Yao Yuzhi's body was shaken, and she pretended to be calm and said:

"Ok, I know."

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

He raised his eyebrows, as if he knew why she followed him.

…………

Heihe Town.

The black water kept surging, splashing into little waves.

The several-meter-wide Blackwater River flows along the edge of the sparse jungle. A huge boulder fortress was built close to the outside of the Blackwater River. There is only a two-meter-wide iron chain ropeway leading to the misty forest on the other side.

Under the ropeway is the turbulent black water, with a pungent smell emanating from the river. From time to time, ferocious and strange heads emerge from the black water, with scarlet eyes like the red lanterns hung in every house during the New Year.

When Hong Shou was dying, he told Chu He about the nature of Tuhe Village. At its root, it was actually a driving point for a large array. There were dozens of villages like theirs that represented driving points in the misty forest.

The destroyed Li Village was also one of them.

The real driving thing is located deep underground in the village. No one knows what it is. They only know that at every point in time, a strange thing similar to a human head will be born around the village.

At that time, the guarding warriors in the village would contact the imperial court to jointly suppress and capture this weird head, and seal it in the earth temple.

Temporarily used as a substitute to protect the village.

When the evil spirit of the head witch is almost gone, the next human head witch will be born again, replacing the original earth god sculpture over and over again.

Every time Chu He thought about this, he felt inexplicably familiar.

Isn’t this renewable energy?

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

Li Cun is a lesson learned from the past.

Tutou Village was purely a man-made disaster. If Hong Shou hadn't held half of the token, the human head trick Li Fang had sewn up could only use the power of his hair. Otherwise, Tutou Village might not have suffered much worse than Li Village.

As for the central hub of all driving points...it is Heihe Town right in front of us!

Chuhe stood on the bank of the Heihe River, with the waves crashing and the strong wind blowing on him, his flowing black hair flying, his eyes filled with wantonness, and he wanted to open his mouth and shout into the wind.

but……

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

"Finally out of the misty forest."

The thick and oppressive fog disappeared, the scene in front of me suddenly became clearer, and my mood became a little better unconsciously. Although there was still a faint mist floating around, it was no longer necessary for the Chu River.

On one side, a layer of faint blue light appeared in front of Yao Yuzhi, which offset most of the strong wind, but the fishy wind that blew in still showed off her curvy and graceful figure to the fullest.

Yao Yuzhi blinked her bright eyes.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

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

She turned her gaze to Chu He, who was sighing at the side.

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