Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

Looking at Tuo Guan's appearance, Bai Xiaoyang's eyes turned red. Zhaofeng walked over, squatted down, lifted the hem of Tuo Guan's padded jacket that was congealed like blood scabs, and frowned tightly. Bai Xiaoyang asked Zhaofeng tearfully, "Uncle Zhaofeng, can Tuo Guan still be saved?" Zhaofeng didn't answer Bai Xiaoyang's words and became very silent. Bai Xiaoyang asked Zhaofeng again: "Uncle Zhaofeng, tell me, can Tuo Guan still be saved?" Zhaofeng glanced at Bai Xiaoyang, still didn't answer her, but turned his head to Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng who were surrounded by him and said softly, "Pick him up." He stood up and walked towards the forest with his hands behind his back.

Zhaofeng's silence seemed to have explained everything, and Bai Xiaoyang's tears flowed down his fair cheeks like broken beads. Master Zhang Yao and Zhang Ziheng also understood what was going on, and silently helped Master Tuo who was lying upright on the ground up, and put him on his back. The cold air was now dull and oppressive. A group of people followed Zhaofeng to the depths of the forest, and Master Zhang Yao began to wipe away tears as he walked. Yuan Ziqing, who was on the other side of the river bed, saw Zhang Yaoye and the others walking into the forest, stood up with a heavy heart, turned around and left.

The empty riverbed looks more and more empty... Zhaofeng led Zhang Yaoye and his party through the shady forest silently, the winter cold was completely blocked by the dense forest.The tense atmosphere has eased, and the air has become less bitter. Only at this moment did Zhang Yaoye, who had relaxed his nerves, feel exhausted as if his whole body was about to fall apart.The thorns under his feet nearly tripped him. Bai Xiaoyang from behind supported him. I don't know how long he walked in the jungle, Zhang Ziheng felt more and more difficult carrying Tuo Guan on his back.A dumb boy wanted to go up and change his back, but Zhang Ziheng refused.The old man's eyes were wet and red.

Suddenly, Zhao Feng, who was walking in front, stopped and gestured to the people behind him to stop. Everyone was terrified at this time. Seeing that Zhaofeng suddenly became so vigilant, they immediately stopped, held their breath, and followed Zhaofeng's eyes to a certain place in the impenetrable forest. Look around the corner. In the dark forest, there was nothing but silence, and there was no strange sound at all.But at this time, Zhaofeng became extremely vigilant, as if something ominous was lurking in front of them. Bai Xiaoyang walked lightly to Zhaofeng's side, and asked Zhaofeng in a low voice, "Uncle Zhaofeng, is there something wrong?"

Zhaofeng put the index finger of his right hand in front of his lips, gestured to Bai Xiaoyang to keep quiet, and then pointed to a big tree in front of him covered with green moss. Bai Xiaoyang listened carefully with his ears closed, and he really felt something moved behind the big tree! Suddenly, there was a cracking sound of a branch being stepped on from behind the big tree. Following the sound, a burly, strong and extremely hideous monster appeared in a bush of thorns four or five meters away from them. rear…… What a monster! I saw that this monster was about 2.45 meters tall, with extremely thick dark red hair growing all over its body, and a rough face full of grooves, but it was equipped with unique facial features.Especially those eyes, gray and dull, like suffering from severe cataracts, and exaggeratedly protruding out of the eye sockets.

Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng couldn't help exclaiming, they were all stunned by the monster in front of them. Bai Xiaoyang asked Zhaofeng with a trembling voice, "Is it a mutated orangutan?" Zhaofeng stared at the monster closely, and said, "No. The orangutan's physique is not that big!" Bai Xiaoyang said, "What is that?" Zhaofeng has never seen such a hideous creature.He no longer has the mentality to know Bai Xiaoyang, and is completely shocked by the monster in front of him! At this time, the monster bowed down, let out a low roar from its throat, and made a posture to rush over, the gray eyeballs began to glow with a dark red fierce light, and unfriendly messages spewed out from the pupils.

Zhaofeng suddenly yelled at the monster: "Get out! Get out! I don't want to hurt you! Get out! Do you hear me?" The monster was frightened by Zhaofeng's violent roar and was stunned.The fierce light emitted by the gray eyeballs dimmed.It straightened up again, and looked at Zhaofeng and the others with a suspicious look. Zhaofeng suddenly stretched out his hand, and with a click, broke a bamboo that was as thick as an arm. The monster was taken aback by Zhaofeng's sudden movement, and it involuntarily took half a step back. Zhaofeng saw that his actions had a deterrent effect, so he took another step closer to the savage, took advantage of the situation and broke another bamboo, and continued to yell at the savage: "Go away! Go away! Immediately!"

The monster was completely intimidated by Zhaofeng's aura, and his whole body shrank. He grinned at Zhaofeng and made a hideous face, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the jungle. Zhang Ziheng asked Master Zhang Yao in a low voice: "Master Yao, have you ever seen such a big monster?" Zhang Yaoye shook his head, still looking at the direction where the monster disappeared just now with terrified eyes, and said, "Why are all these strange things gathered together?" Zhaofeng didn't make a sound, and continued to walk forward tentatively. Zhang Yaoye was worried about Bai Xiaoyang who was walking in front of him, so he pulled Bai Xiaoyang and said, "Xiaobai, you walk behind me, and I will walk in front."

Bai Xiaoyang ignored Master Zhang Yao, but walked vigilantly while paying attention to the movement around him. Zhaofeng led Zhang Yaoye and a group of people cautiously to continue walking through the impenetrable forest.During the period, there were strange voices in the forest from time to time suddenly sounded from a mysterious corner, making people's hearts always suspended in mid-air, unable to be realized. Bai Xiaoyang said softly to Zhaofeng in front, "Uncle Zhaofeng, I feel like we are being followed by something." Zhaofeng didn't respond to Bai Xiaoyang in front, but just walked forward.

When Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng heard Bai Xiaoyang's words, their hearts tightened and they looked around nervously.Everyone pushes their sensory nerves to the limit.Therefore, in the feeling of this group of people, the originally silent forest suddenly seemed to be full of dangers and jitters. After walking for a while, there was a faint booming sound in front of the forest. Zhang Yaoye, who was exhausted from walking, said excitedly, "Listen, it's the sound of a waterfall, and it's almost coming to an end." Zhang Yaoye's words seemed to give everyone a reassurance, and they were all in a state of mind.Getting out of this dangerous forest may mean getting out of danger.

Zhao Feng, who was walking in the front, obviously accelerated his pace. Finally, a canyon appeared in front of everyone, and the bright sunlight hung down from the sky like a huge ribbon, making the whole canyon shine... On the opposite side of the canyon, a waterfall more than ten meters wide flew down and fell into the deep pool below, making a deafening loud sound. Where the water mist rose, a rainbow was suspended above the canyon. The water dragon that fell into the deep pool formed a turbulent momentum and washed away along the canyon. Standing on the edge of the canyon, Zhang Yaoye and his group looked at the magnificent scene in front of them, and were a little stunned for a while. Zhang Yaoye muttered to himself: "Where are we now? How could there be such a flood?" Zhaofeng ignored Mr. Zhang Yao, and went down the canyon with his hands and feet, looking for a slippery path hidden in the shrubs and wormwood. Master Zhang Yao and Zhang Ziheng didn't dare to neglect and followed. Zhang Ziheng carried Tuo Guan on his back, and it was very difficult to walk down. He supported Tuo Guan with one hand behind his back, and with the other hand, he grabbed the mountain vines growing on the cliff and walked down step by step.The road was too narrow and steep, and it wasn't even a road at all, so Bai Xiaoyang and the other fools couldn't help at all. Zhang Yaoye, who was walking in front, kept telling Zhang Ziheng to be careful. Zhang Ziheng ignored Zhang Yaoye's reminder and was panting from exhaustion. Halfway up the canyon, Zhao Feng in front suddenly disappeared behind a cage of reeds.Zhang Yaoye, who was a few meters behind Zhaofeng, was taken aback, and slid down a few steps, only to find a dark cave behind the reed.The entrance of the cave is very dangerous. You can only step in with one foot and stick to the smooth and wet stone wall. Below is the abyss of tens of meters. Zhaofeng has already entered the cave, standing at the entrance of the cave to meet Zhang Yaoye and the others. Everyone carefully carried each other into the cave, the air inside was humid but warm. The entrance of the cave is very narrow, and only one person can enter with a bowed body.Walking down the cave for more than ten meters, the cave appears to be empty, and there are steps made of bluestone strips at the foot.These steps seem to lead Zhang Yaoye and the others to go deep into a mysterious underworld.
