Chapter 1316: Seeing the Statue Again
A ghost hits a wall?
Under this dark clouds and thunderstorm, those hot summer folk stories unconsciously emerged in everyone's minds.
The strong wind hits the face with the rain, and the weeds are growing in front of us, which is like coming to the wilderness ridges in folk stories.
"Don't scare yourself. What the hell is hitting the wall. It's probably because of the weather that we have let us identify the wrong direction." An older team member spoke among the members of the Nine Bureaus.
"Wait, see what this is!" The member of the Nine Bureau who had just carved the mark on the stone stared at a piece of stone buried in the soil in front of him, only half of which was exposed. "This is the stone I just made the mark."
"How is it possible? The stone you marked is clearly below, and we have been walking towards the mountain for more than ten minutes!"
"Look at that." A female team member pointed to the side with a frightened face.
Everyone suddenly saw the statue of the god they had just taken shelter from the rain, not far away.
Such a scene made the two women in the team tremble, because what happened now was so weird. It was obvious that they had been going up the mountain for more than ten minutes, but the stone statue just now appeared in front of you again. The heavy rain covering the Mountain of Gods and the road under your feet made you feel cold.
"Will it be just a stone statue similar to the one just now? There are countless stone statues of all sizes on the mountain? If this stone statue is just a guardian beast, it is not the only one. It is understandable that two of them appear, and there is even a third and a fourth one." Someone made such a guess.
This guess made everyone feel much more at ease.
“It is also possible.”
They were doing some self-comfort for such reasons.
The heavy rain in the sky was still very strong, and there was no intention of stopping. The strong wind blew the heavy rain, and the raindrops came to their faces. The footprints they left on the mountain road immediately disappeared into the heavy rain.
Everyone continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, and more than ten minutes later, the same stone statue appeared again.
"Impossible! How could this happen?" The Ninth Bureau team member who made the mark spoke again. He touched the stone he had made the mark. In order to avoid admitting his mistake, he deliberately used a sharp blade to mark several symbols on it. Now it appears again. It is absolutely impossible that he admits his mistake.
"It seems that we have really encountered a ghost hitting a wall." A male team member spoke, pointing ahead, and the stone statue appeared again.
The team member said, "I just made a few marks on the stone statue. Look, this is what I left behind before."
"Ghost hits the wall? We really encountered ghosts?" A female team member was trembling with her legs. They were not afraid of powerful enemies, but for these women, such strange things hit their hearts.
What people fear the most is the unknown. Everything that happens now is touching the unknown areas in their lives.
Zhao Ji kept walking in front, frowning all the way, without saying a word, but after careful observation, Zhao Ji's pace was completely messed up, proving that the anxiety in his heart was still increasing.
"We can't leave for now." Xiao Yang spoke. He is now the backbone of the team and is here to give orders. "Go to shelter from the rain first. We have to figure out what happened, otherwise, we may never be able to climb the mountain."
While Xiao Yang was speaking, he looked at the foot of the mountain. They walked back and forth for more than half an hour, but they were still at the mountainside and the height had almost not changed much.
The group returned to the stone statue to shelter from the rain. Zhao Ji, who was unable to control his energy, was completely confused. He didn't say a word and didn't know what he was thinking.
Under the dark night, heavy rain poured down. Xiao Yang and others stood around the stone statue. The blurred face of the stone statue seemed to be showing a cruel smile.
"I heard from the old man that when you encounter a ghost, you must see the road clearly and use a flashlight to shine the road ahead. No matter whether there is a road or not, you must go straight." A man trembled and said.
"It's not a ghost to hit the wall." Xiao Yang shook his head, "We are probably trapped in some artificial maze. This can also explain why no one who came in before could get out, and they were all trapped inside. From now on, we will walk down the mountain."
"Yes, leave this place first." The female team member who was almost scared quickly agreed with Xiao Yang's proposal.
Xiao Yang is now the one who issued the orders. Zhao Ji did not object, so no one would object. Everyone took a short rest and prepared to go down the mountain.
But when they looked for the way down the mountain, they found that the way they had just walked had disappeared again.
The stone statue is in a concave mountain. When they walk into this concave, they cannot see the surroundings of the mountain. They don’t know when and how the way they came here disappeared.
"Let's go." Xiao Yang didn't care about the road anymore. He stepped on the slope of the mountain and walked downwards.
Everyone followed Xiao Yang. The mountain road was slippery. Every step they took seemed to be careful, including Xiao Yang. Now he could not control his energy and his strength was only the peak of a normal person. Once he lost his balance under this situation, although his life would not be in danger, serious injuries were inevitable.
Everyone went down the mountain from the slope and saw a rock protruding out of the mountain. When they walked above the rock, they were all stunned.
Because the protruding rock is nothing else, it is the top of the concave mountain hidden stone statue. They went down the slope and returned to the place where the statue was.
"Hell! Hell! We're definitely hell!" The youngest Nine Bureau member kept murmuring, "We're trapped by ghosts, we can't get out."
The timid female team members were even more scared and had no words to speak.
Xiao Yang's brows also frowned tightly. Although he didn't believe in sayings such as "the hell of a wall", he could not explain everything that happened in front of him now.
Xiao Yang looked at the team members who were already out of breath and said, "Let's take a break first and recover your strength."
Several people jumped off the protruding stones and returned to the place where the statue was.
When they saw this statue again, everyone felt a sense of fear. They seemed to have been cursed and were completely trapped here. They wanted to go up the mountain but couldn't, and they still couldn't.
Everyone sat around the stone statue, eating compressed biscuits, watching the heavy rain in front of them, everyone said nothing, and there was no other sound except the sound of the heavy rain.
