Chapter 27 Monsters in the Fog

Yuanxiao and I went down the stone steps in the canyon, and at this time due to the fog, we could no longer see Kong Xuehe, the figure of Cao Duoji. We walked forward quickly, but the deeper we walked into the canyon, the greater the fog, and the visibility became very low. Yuanxiao and I could only slow down again, and we did not dare to get too far away to avoid getting separated.

Although the old lama told us that all the foggy monsters would retreat to the Hall of Hell before dawn, under the heavy fog, we were still scared to leave.

As we went deeper, I felt that the temperature around me seemed to be getting lower and lower, and the snow on the ground gradually increased. We turned on the wolf eye flashlight, but the strong flashlight still could not resist the heavy fog. It spread in the fog without illuminating far.

After walking a few more steps, Yuanxiao next to him suddenly squatted down and pointed to the ground and said, "Look at the footprints. They are the shoe prints of mountain boots, which should be left by Kong Xue and the others."

I walked over and looked at it. The shoe prints were not big, which should be the shoe prints left by women. The other pair of shoe prints should be left by leather boots, so Doji was wearing a pair of leather boots. It seems that this should be the footprints they left.

So we followed their shoe prints under the flashlight, but as we chased them, I found that the situation seemed to be wrong. The steps of the two people suddenly became larger. It should be that they had already started running, but this was abnormal. At such an altitude, walking for a long time would have consumed a lot of energy. When I ran, it was obvious that I couldn't get along with myself.

Unless, they had to run away. I took the flashlight and looked forward. Wherever the flashlight reached, there was still a misty fog and I couldn't see anything. I shone to both sides again, but I could vaguely see the black rocks.

"They seem to be very anxious." Yuanxiao also saw the problem, "Is Kong Xue still angry and trying to deliberately get rid of us?"

I shook my head, "It shouldn't be. If Miss Kong Xue's temper is willful, Doji is not stupid. It is related to life safety. He will not follow Kong Xue to make trouble. Let's continue to follow and take a look." Yuanxiao nodded as she listened.

We were a little uneasy, so we accelerated our pace, and the footprints on the ground also changed. It can be seen that they were still running in a straight line at the beginning, but then the footprints began to extend to both sides, and then turned back again, "What is this?" Yuanxiao looked at the footprints on the ground, and was puzzled, "Running in a snake shape? Is this playing with an eagle catching a chick?"

I was also confused and shook my head when I heard the question from Yuanxiao. We continued to move forward, and the footprints on the ground became even more messy, and there were several large pieces of snow on the ground that were rubbed off, and even handprints left by holding the ground.

"They seem to be very panicked!" I pointed to the handprints on the ground, "It is obvious that I have fallen a little here. Then I continue running forward with my hands and feet."

"Damn why is this?" Yuanxiao asked, "Nothing will happen, right?" Yuanxiao shouted loudly, "Kong Xue! Let Doji! Where are you?" The canyon was very empty, and the shouts of Yuanxiao were mixed with the sound of the wind.

"Run forward? Panic?" I suddenly thought of something and hurriedly signaled Yuanxiao to shut up! I quickly shone the flashlight behind us and around us. Yuanxiao didn't understand very well, so she came over and asked me: "What's wrong?"

While looking around with caution, I said, "Kong Xuehe asked Doji to walk normally at first, but then suddenly started running, and then he almost rolled and crawled with two people, which was extremely panic. What did this mean? What prompted them to do this?"

Lantern Festival was still looking at me cutely, "What?"

"I'll go! Are you stupid?" I was speechless, "This means that something is chasing them from behind! They are not running in snake shape, they are dodging left and right!" As soon as I said this, Yuanxiao was also startled and hurriedly shone it around with a flashlight, for fear that something suddenly rushed out of the fog.

"What should we do?" Yuanxiao took out the gun in his bag again.

"Continue to move forward, Kong Xue and the others may be in danger. We have to go over and take a look!" As I said that, I took out my gun and rushed over along my footprints.

The fog is getting heavier and visibility is less than ten meters. At present, this state is almost no different from the middle of the night. There is a lot of gravel on the ground, and it is easy to fall if it is too fast, but we can't care about this at this time and run quickly along the messy footprints, one deep and one shallow.

The fog around us blurs our feelings about time and space a lot. We don’t know how long we have been running, how far we have been, and where we have been, I feel like I’m traveling through a time and space tunnel and reaching an unknown world. The only thing that guides us is the footprints on the ground.

But soon, even the only guidance was gone. We ran here, and the footprints on the ground disappeared. We both stopped and "Go back!" So we turned around and looked for the footprints again.

After walking back four or five steps, the footprints appeared again. It seemed that these footprints ended here, which means that Kong Xue and the others did not continue to move forward after running here. But where were they?

We searched around again. The footprints in this place were very messy, almost with footprints going back and forth for several layers. Yuanxiao looked around and opened his mouth. I immediately guessed that he must be calling Kong Xue and the others again. I hurriedly went up and grabbed him, and covered his mouth. He asked him to swallow the words back.

"Are you stupid? Are you shouting nonsense in this place! The thing that chases Kong Xue and the others may be nearby. Do you want to attract it?!"

Yuanxiao nodded. But just as I was about to take my hand away, the boy suddenly widened his eyes, raised his flashlight and shone it at me. I hurriedly blocked it with my hand. I was very angry about Yuanxiao's behavior and said to myself: I say a few words to you, you are planning to take revenge on me! I am also for our own good! So he pressed his hand hard on his face with a little furious and said, "Are you looking for death? This flashlight can make people blind for 3 minutes at the eyes. You want to kill me!! I still treat you as a brother! Do you deserve me?"

But Yuanxiao shook her head desperately, shone the flashlight behind me, and gestured to me with her eyes to turn back. At this moment, I roughly understood what Yuanxiao meant, and my whole body was sweating down. I picked up the gun and turned my head slowly. At that moment, I felt that all my hair had exploded. I saw a black thing slowly climbing down on the cliff behind me. This thing was slender and had a long tail, and four claws were tightly grasping on the cliff.

It was almost as long as one person, and it looked like a giant gecko. I quickly retreated, but my legs were a little stiff in the fright. My feet tripped by the gravel on the ground, and staggered backwards. My fingers pulled the trigger under this trip. A series of crisp gunfire sounds were heard, but my body lost its center of gravity and the gun lost its accuracy. The bullet hit the cliff and burst out a series of sparks. I scolded myself in my heart, which was useless!

Lantern Festival hurriedly stepped forward and helped me up. We hurriedly shone the cliff. The monster had lost its trace. We were on guard and raised our flashlight to shine around. There was a strange murderous intent hidden in the thick fog!
