"You have a rest first. I'll go out to find some water and find a high point to see if there is any signal on your phone. It's easy to contact Uncle Jin," Chen Zhi said to Master Bao.

Master Bao nodded and handed the phone to Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi's phone was left for Qin Yueyang in the village.

The moonlight outside was very bright, but the surrounding forest was pitch black. Chen Zhi glanced at his phone, but there was no signal. He walked along the shadows in the mountains and forests with a kettle, looking for a higher place.

He climbed up a hillside first, confirmed that there were no pursuers around him, and then showed his head and tried the cell phone signal. It still didn't work. It might not be possible at all. Chen Zhi was a little desperate, and he had no choice but to climb down, walk into the woods, and look for the stream.

There was no shortage of water in the mountains. Chen Zhi quickly found a stream in the mountains following the sound of water. He hurried over and drank several mouthfuls like drinking sweet springs. His throat was already smoking after being exhausted this day.

Chen Zhi filled a pot of spring water and washed his face in the water with the moonlight. At this time, Chen Zhi realized that the water in the stream was very turbid. When he looked up, a stream of colored liquid flowed down, as if... it was blood.

Chen Zhi took a look at the upstream place. There was a forest in the distance, and there was no black hole to see clearly.

When Chen Zhi carried the kettle back into the cave, Master Leopard was roasting the fire by the fire. Chen Zhi handed over the kettle. Master Leopard took it and drank it in big mouthfuls. He had lost too much blood just now and now he needs a lot of water.

"Did you see them outside just now?" Mr. Leopard put down the kettle and looked at Chen Zhi and asked.

"No" Chen Zhi shook his head.

Mr. Leopard frowned, and the answer seemed to be beyond his expectations. "That army is very powerful. We will not stop if we can't find it. There are hunting dogs in their team. We have a lot of blood on our bodies. It is said that they should chase them here now."

"Maybe it's too remote!" Chen Zhi replied, pulling out half a box of cigarettes from his slanted bag, handing one to Mr. Leopard, and lit one himself.

Mr. Leopard took a sip of cigarette, remained silent for a while, and said, "This valley is very strange. We have not seen any animals along the way. And after you left, I went out to see it. This valley is too quiet, something is wrong.

Master Leopard took another sip, spitting smoke, looking at the fire with gray eyes calmly, and whispered: "What I'm afraid of is that there might be something else here that makes him afraid to come in. It seems that we will not have a good night this night."

Since there were no pursuers, Chen Zhi burned the bonfire a little more. Most wild beasts are afraid of fire at night, and Master Leopard should not be in danger for the time being. Chen Zhi decided to go out again, because there was no food to see if he could catch a rabbit, and the other was that he wanted to go upstream of the stream to see what was there.

When Chen Zhi walked in this valley, he felt that the valley was a bit weird. Not only could it not see big animals, but it could not even see rabbits or mountain birds, and there was only a forest of dead spirits. This was very abnormal in the deep mountains. Chen Zhi was surrounded by strange silence, and nothing could be heard except the sound of wind and leaves.

The stream was not far away, and soon Chen Zhi walked to the stream again.

Chen Zhi squatted down and scooped up the stream and looked at it. The turbid color in the water was indeed blood, and it was still flowing downwards.

"Where did the blood come from? Is it an animal that died upstream? Impossible, it is impossible for an animal to shed so much blood. What is that? Could it be..."

In fact, Chen Zhi has always been mentally prepared. The armed team of the mysterious organization is very skilled. They will find this place sooner or later. Master Bao was seriously injured and they basically had no hope of living. But after so long, they didn't even see the shadow of the team, and they didn't even bark at the dog. It seemed that the team just now disappeared in this primeval forest.

Chen Zhi walked upstream along the stream. The moon was bright and the surroundings were silent, which made people feel cold.

The woods around him became denser and denser. He walked to a very tall area and saw the stream turning a corner and penetrated into this dense forest.

Chen Zhi turned on the flashlight and walked into the woods in the dark. The trees in this forest are different from the birch trees commonly found in the Greater Khingan Mountains. The branches of these trees are very dense, and the trunks are thick and tidy. After Chen Zhi walked into the woods, he could no longer see the moonlight in the sky.

After walking forward less than 200 meters, he suddenly saw a black shadow in the darkness ahead, like a wall.

Chen Zhi turned on the flashlight and walked forward. Behind a dead end, Chen Zhi saw the wall. It was really unknown when the wall was in its era. It was covered with wind and rain, with only the wall covered with green moss and weeds, and there was a big hole in the middle of the wall.

Chen Zhi squatted down and walked through the cave. He saw a stone staircase covered with weeds appear in front of him and went up. Chen Zhi walked up the stairs, and less than twenty meters away, he saw a very dilapidated ancient temple with weeds growing everywhere, covered by a broken dead tree.

It was too dark here. Under Chen Zhi's flashlight, he could only see some of the eaves and rotten black walls of the ancient temple. The top of the temple seemed to collapse halfway, and the plaque could be identified as the ancient seal script "Shan Shen Temple".

This mountain temple is not big, with only one main hall. The hillsides on both sides are very steep, so I guess this ancient temple has been forgotten by people in the long river of time.

The door was already broken, and Chen Zhi didn't dare to make any noise. He gently broke off the old-fashioned styles, put them on the ground on one side, and then shone them in with a flashlight.

There is a shrine in the temple with murals painted around it, which are very fine. The colors and lines of the murals are revealed from the thick mold. The paintings are exquisite, and they are by no means shoddy and inferior craftsmen.

This surprised Chen Zhi. Judging from the corrosion of the murals, this temple has been at least one or two thousand years, but it is impossible to see the specific era. Generally, mountain temples are built by local villagers themselves. Who built such temples in the deep mountains for what purpose? It seems that there are too many secrets in the mountains.

Chen Zhi's flashlight shone under the shrine and looked at the mountain god in the shrine, but the face he saw was much larger than Chen Zhi expected.
