The dead cry.

It is located in a ravine with rugged rocks.

Other places deep in the mountains are either overgrown with grass, tall trees, dense forests, or gurgling streams.

But once you enter the area where the dead cry, the scenery here changes.

Countless black, gangue-like boulders are intermingled with white, bare rocks.

It looks a bit like this place is dangerous, devastated and frightening.

According to the topographic map drawn by the martial artist on the cigarette box paper, Han Xiaokang took out his own steel needle and made it into a simple compass.

Han Xiaokang and A Ju finally found the entrance where the dead cried in the crevices among the rocks.

This is a stone crevice that only allows one person to pass through. Walk down the stone crevice, getting deeper and deeper as you go.

The grass growing in the gaps is getting denser and denser, which is different from the almost bare appearance outside.

while walking.

Sudden!

There was a low roar from the throats of the big tiger and the two tigers, as if there was something abnormal here.

Then Han Xiaokang also saw something strange.

Then he stopped and blocked Aju behind him, preventing her from seeing the horrifying scene in the aisle in front of him.

I only saw half of the white bones exposed between the cracks in the stone in the passage.

Judging from the way this corpse's remaining arms were stretched forward, one of his leg bones was stuck in a crack in the stone.

This poor man in distress was either being chased by some kind of wild beast, and in a panic, his ankle got stuck in a crevice between rocks.

But judging from the grayish-white color of this half of the skeleton.

Perhaps it is also possible that he was stung by something so poisonous that when he climbed here, he was already poisoned and died.

But the strong desire in his heart to leave here and go back outside supported the murdered man and climbed from the bottom of the valley to here.

As for the fact that his ankle bones are still stuck in the stone crevices, it is possible that the muscles were gnawed away by wild beasts after his death.

The ankles became smaller and eventually fell into the cracks in the rocks due to the strong wind.

But what is the specific truth?

Because it is so old, it is really difficult for people to judge.

But when Dahu and Erhu saw these skeletons, they were unwilling to go up and smell them.

Han Xiaokang estimated that this person was more likely to die from poisoning.

"What's wrong?"

Aju, who was blocked behind her, saw Han Xiaokang stopped and asked, "Brother Xiaokang, is there something in front of you?"

Han Xiaokang asked without looking back, "Ah Ju, are you afraid of dead people?"

Aju shuddered, but whispered back: "I'm not afraid! Compared with dead people, the people my father found for me actually scare me more."

Han Xiaokang sighed, "Close your eyes and I will lead you there."

Aju is very well-behaved.

She didn't ask why, she just closed her eyes and let Han Xiaokang hold her hand and stagger forward.

Previously, Wu Ju people told Han Xiaokang that in Dead Man Cry, there are dead bodies everywhere.

A leg bone here, a pelvic bone there.

From time to time, a skull will appear from among the cracks in the rocks.

According to Wu Juren, when he came to the Dead Man Cry adventure, he had the good intention to clean up the corpses of these poor people who exchanged their lives for money.

It would be better to let them rest in their graves.

It's a pity that there are too many corpses scattered among the cries of the dead, and it's too messy!

No one can figure out whose hand bone it is and whose leg bone it is.

So much so that in the end the martial arts practitioners had to give up this futile attempt.

What if Zhang San’s head was placed on Li Si’s buttocks and they were buried together?

Then when they get to the underworld, they will have to fight and run around!

As Han Xiaokang went deeper and deeper, the stone crevices in front became wider and wider, but there were more and more bones scattered among the stone crevices, and the scene became more and more terrifying.

Even Han Xiaokang saw two skeletons strangled at each other's necks.

OK?!

It stands to reason that if they were people who came into the mountains to hunt or collect medicine, they would not kill each other.

It's a pity that the remnants of the clothes on these people have been blown away by the strong wind blowing from the cracks in the rocks.

Therefore, it is still unknown what the identities of these people are.

The sky gradually darkened.

Han Xiaokang, who was eager to find a place to stay, no longer bothered to observe the skeletons at this time, and picked up Aju and accelerated forward.

After walking forward for more than 2 miles, the sky became very dark.

Fortunately, as we walked forward for a while, our eyes suddenly became brighter.

Standing in the canyon, Han Xiaokang looked around.

I saw that the cliff on the right was covered with large and small grottoes.

The convection of hot and cold air at dusk makes the wind in the canyon become stronger!

The wind blew into the grotto, making bursts of strange sounds.

It is like weeping and complaining, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.

Han Xiaokang carefully observed the terrain, especially the location of the legendary "Dead Man's Cave".

Keep it in mind.

Han Xiaokang then chose a small cave on the stone wall next to the "Dead Man's Cave" and planned to use it as his shelter tonight.

I found some dead branches and larger dead firewood and put them into Ah Ju's basket.

At the same time, he also put down his belongings and climbed up the stone wall first, carrying only a bundle of ropes.

There is no weight on the body, so it is just suitable for climbing.

Wait until Han Xiaokang climbed into the grotto halfway up the mountain.

Without taking a moment to rest, Han Xiaokang then threw the rope downwards to pull up Aju, Dahu and Erhu, and their belongings.

It's windy in the grotto, so it's not particularly suitable for spending the night.

Fortunately, there is some rock cliff in front of this grotto, so it would be fine if you huddled behind the rock cliff.

Moreover, the grotto is very dry and the ground is flat, so it would not be that uncomfortable if you sleep on the ground on it.

Aju is very diligent.

She saw that Han Xiaokang was a little tired after pulling her up, so Aju took the initiative to light a bonfire and started cooking with a bamboo tube.

The big tiger and the two tigers were lying next to the fire, quietly waiting for the meal.

"Zhizhi——"

The door of the grotto.

The little macaque squatted there with its head drooped, looking worried and preoccupied.

This guy!

Why, like Aju, did he become dependent on himself for no reason?

Han Xiaokang glanced at it, and the little macaque's eyes began to shine, looking at Han Xiaokang expectantly.

But when I turned my head and ignored it, I watched Ah Ju heating up the roasted snake meat and folding the ear roots in cold sauce.

The little macaque lowered his head again, looking very discouraged.

Humans are social animals, and so are monkeys.

The little macaque is obviously a solitary monkey living in isolation.

This little pitiful one!

But the little macaque was pitiful, but Han Xiaokang didn't want to go with it.

Surviving in the deep mountains requires courage, perseverance, hard work and perseverance.

There is still some luck.
