Chapter 265: Ghost Village Maze
Chapter 265: Ghost Village Maze
However, I really didn’t expect that these two fat sheep lived in this deserted village?
Perhaps, these two fat sheep have realized that they are being followed, so they deliberately lured them here and then fought back?
The gang leader sneered, but still led his men and cautiously slowed down their pace, holding the big knife, ready to attack and defend at any time.
When a group of people in the distance saw this group of fierce bandits entering the village, they breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their bodies.
"Are they going to rob those two?"
"Nonsense, this is obvious."
"Heh~ This is going to be a good show. Those two are unlucky to have encountered such a group of bandits."
"Old Li, don't gloat over this misfortune. After those bandits take care of those two, they might come looking for trouble with us."
"Hmph~ Those two don't look easy to deal with. When they start fighting, there will definitely be casualties. Then the bandits won't have the energy to attack us. Besides, they are so few in number. Are we really afraid of them?"
"Haha~ Old Li is right."
After the group of people relaxed, they began to talk at once, their eyes fixed on the deserted village in the distance.
……
The deserted village was filled with a light mist, which was not very obvious from a distance, but as we got closer, the mist seemed to become a little thicker and carried a creepy and cold air.
When a group of bandits entered the deserted village and felt the strangeness of the fog, they immediately tensed up and became extremely alert, and even thought about retreating from the village.
But after thinking for a while, the leader of the bandits slowly walked forward with his men. They had sharp eyes, like a group of vicious wolves, paying attention to everything around them.
They rode for a while, and nothing happened. The village was very quiet, but too quiet. When they were outside the village, they could still hear some birds singing and insects chirping, but here the silence was only the sound of horses' hooves and their breathing, which was very eerie.
Now, they were even more nervous. Some of them even had faster heartbeats and cold sweat on their foreheads for no apparent reason.
"Boss, there's something strange going on in this village. How about we retreat first?"
When the bandit leader heard this, he immediately cursed, "Get the hell back! This must be the work of those two bastards. Who are they trying to scare?"
After being scolded, the man dared not speak again and had to follow obediently.
Others interrupted, "Boss, there's something strange about this village. We've been walking for so long and haven't found any trace of those two bastards. There's no movement at all, and there's something strange about this fog!"
"Boss, I think we just walked this road before... and now we're back here for some reason..."
"Are we encountering the legendary ghost wall?"
"No, it's broad daylight, how could it be haunted?"
"But I remember I just passed by this shabby house and there was a hole in the wall, so I remember it clearly!"
As they talked, the atmosphere became more and more tense. They would rather fight with those two than encounter such a weird thing!
The gang leader frowned and looked around. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Let's go a little further. If the situation is not right, we will turn back!"
Can we turn back?
Someone questioned it in their heart, but considering the boss's authority, no one dared to speak out. They could only bite the bullet and continue moving forward.
After they continued walking for a while, the surroundings were still quiet, and the deserted path in front of them seemed to have no end. After a while, when they saw the familiar house with a hole in it again, everyone's expression finally changed.
This is really a dead end!
Everyone had a gloomy face, as if their mother had died. Some even wanted to cry, and their hands were shaking.
"Retreat! Back off!"
The bandit leader finally gave the order to retreat, turned his horse around first, cracked his whip, and wanted to run to the back road.
hiss!
The horse was whipped and neighed loudly, becoming a little irritable.
But the road was too narrow, so even if he wanted to run faster, he couldn't. A group of his men on horseback blocked the road, and he couldn't get through.
Seeing this, his men quickly turned their horses around and retreated to the road behind. The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
"Run! Run!"
"Sixth Brother, do you know how to ride a horse? Don't block the road, turn your horse around!"
"Damn it, stop pushing! Those people in front, please make way!"
"Get out of here! What are you panicking about?"
……
The group of people were in a panic. After turning their horses around, they hurriedly rode out of the village.
But this road is weird!
There was no way to reach the end if they went forward, and there was no way to retreat no matter what. It was a road with no end. They kept repeating the same path they had taken, and were trapped here. Even the horses were becoming more and more anxious.
Now they were really panicked. Although they had encountered many dangerous things before, they had never encountered anything so weird!
After running for a while and still not getting out of the village, they stopped, breathing heavily, and looked around panickily, trying to find a breakthrough.
But at this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, the sun had set, and the fog in the village was getting thicker and thicker.
The chilling and gloomy aura seemed to penetrate into one's bones, making one feel cold to the core.
Looking at the faint mist around, this deserted village is simply a ghost village!
Many people cursed to hide their panic, but the horses under them became more and more uncontrollable, neighing non-stop, and some even began to run around the village, causing the people on horseback to almost fall off. But after they steadied themselves, they found that they had lost contact with the team!
Looking around, it was quiet and the light was much dimmer. Except for the village path that seemed to have no end, there were dilapidated houses all around.
"Boss! Where are you?!"
The lost people shouted loudly, but there was no sound around. It was quiet and only he and his horse were left.
The lost people suppressed their panic and could only drive their horses to find a way out, but the village seemed infinitely large, like a maze. They were trapped here and it was difficult to find a way out. Moreover, as time passed, the sky became darker and darker. There was not even moonlight. The sky above their heads was pitch black, making it impossible for them to see the road clearly.
In desperation, those who were separated did not dare to wander around anymore. After all, it was difficult to get out. They could only stop to rest, conserve their energy, wait for dawn, and wait for their companions to arrive.
There were eight of them in total, five of them got separated, and the remaining three stayed together.
The gang leader looked at the two remaining men beside him, his face gloomy and almost dripping with water. He breathed heavily, suppressing the anger and fear in his heart. They huddled together, trying not to get separated, but only after seeing that it was completely dark did they rest on the spot and stop wandering around. Anyway, they couldn't leave for the time being.
