Soul travels through the world of immortality

"It's finally over!" Li Mingyang sighed and stretched. In order to get rid of the killer, the two of them did not hesitate to use up the results of half a year of hard training, which shows how important the killer is to them. Now that the killer is dead, their danger is gone.

Li Mingyang looked at the killer and suddenly said: "Don't you find it strange? We obviously met the killer in this village, how could we be at the other end of the village? Could it be..." He raised his head and looked into the distance, seeming to remember What.

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Let's go, let's find a place to rest first. I'll go to the mountains tomorrow to see if I can find any clues."

Early the next morning, Qin Yu left the town alone and walked deep into the mountains and forests. Because of what happened last night, he always felt a little uneasy. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the mountains and see if he could find any clues. Qin Yu went all the way east and climbed over the mountains. Soon, he came to an area with sparse trees. At this moment, a strange gust of wind blew by, giving Qin Yu goosebumps all over his body.

Qin Yu looked around cautiously, but didn't see anything wrong. He shook his head and continued to move forward. But just after walking more than ten meters away, Qin Yu suddenly stopped. He looked to the right, with horror in his eyes.

Just three to five meters to the right of Qin Yu, there was a snake several meters long, spitting out a message.

Qin Yu's heart beat faster. He knew that this kind of snake was extremely rare in this mountain forest and they were usually fatal. He backed away slowly, trying not to disturb the snake, but his instinct told him that the snake had noticed his presence.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He remembered reading in martial arts classics that the most important thing when faced with an attack from a wild animal was to remain calm and not show fear. Slowly and carefully, he drew a short sword from his waist.

The snake seemed to feel Qin Yu's movements, and its body began to rise slowly, forming an attacking posture. Qin Yu knew that once the snake attacked, he would have to react very quickly.

Just then, a strange noise broke the tranquility of the forest. Qin Yu and Snake both turned to the source of the sound. A group of monkeys jumped from a tree, their presence apparently unsettling the snake. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Yu quickly retreated and left the snake's sight.

After safely leaving the range of the snake, Qin Yu felt a little relieved. He knows that this encounter is just a warning in his search for clues: this forest hides many unknown dangers.

Qin Yu decided to move on, but he became more vigilant. He began to pay attention to every detail around him, hoping to find any clues left by the killer. The sun was getting higher and the light in the forest was getting brighter. Qin Yu finally found some unusual traces in a bush - a series of deep footprints, which seemed to be left by a huge person or animal.

Qin Yu followed these footprints, and his intuition told him that these traces might be the key clues he was looking for. As he went deeper into the forest, the footprints became newer and fresher until he came to a small stream. In the stream, he saw some blood stains.

At this time, Qin Yu realized that he might have been close to the truth. He decided to return to the town and tell Li Mingyang what he had discovered. They need to formulate a plan together, because it is obvious that this killer is not acting alone, but has some kind of powerful allies or forces behind him.

Qin Yu quickened his pace, knowing that time was running out. They must act as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows how many more people will die because of this killer. Qin Yu stared closely at the looming blood stains in the stream. The dark red spots were particularly dazzling in the clear stream. He leaned over and took a closer look, and found that the blood was not flowing out in large amounts all at once, but intermittently, as if accompanied by some kind of struggle. Filled with doubts, he searched upstream along the stream, trying to find the source of the bloodstains.

The sun casts mottled light and shadow through the leaves, and the originally quiet forest is now filled with an indescribable depressing atmosphere. Qin Yu was keenly aware that the surrounding birds and insects seemed to be deliberately avoiding this area, and even the wind seemed to be whispering some kind of warning. He couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the uneasiness in his heart surged like a tide.

Walking to the entrance of a hidden cave, Qin Yu found that the blood trail extended straight there. Rare black datura flowers grow around the entrance of the cave. Their fragrance is strong and strange, giving people a sense of trance. Qin Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, held the dagger tightly, and stepped into the dark cave.

The cave is damp and cold, and the air is mixed with the smell of fish and decay. Qin Yu took out the fire seal he carried with him, and the weak firelight illuminated a short distance ahead. On the walls, weird totems and symbols are intertwined, seeming to tell some ancient and mysterious ritual. Qin Yu carefully identified them and vaguely noticed that these symbols were similar to the ornaments worn by the killer, implying that there was some connection between the two.

As he went deeper into the cave, the blood stains became more obvious. At the end, Qin Yu suddenly found a huge skeleton lying on the ground. Its shape was twisted, as if it had died after suffering extreme pain. Scattered next to the skeleton were several pieces of shabby clothing, embroidered with the same pattern as the killer, and the owner of the clothing was obviously not human. Qin Yu's heart tightened. This was obviously related to the killer they were tracking, but it was beyond their original understanding.

Just when Qin Yu was about to explore further, a low roar came from the depths of the cave, as if a beast was awakening. Immediately afterwards, the ground shook slightly, and stones from the cave ceiling fell one after another. Qin Yu quickly retreated, dodging the flying gravel, knowing in his heart that there was a more terrifying existence hidden in this cave.

He decided to retreat temporarily and returned to the town to share what he saw and heard with Li Mingyang, and jointly analyzed this bizarre clue. However, when he turned around to leave, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness deep in the cave, staring at him like a demon in the abyss. Qin Yu felt a chill running down his spine and rushed out of the cave without hesitation. There were deafening roars behind him. It was obvious that some unknown creature was chasing after him.

Qin Yu ran away with all his strength. The trees along the way shook violently behind him, and it was obvious that the creature was following closely behind. He knew that he could not fight with his own strength, so he had to return to the town as soon as possible and seek help from Li Mingyang. At this time, the sunlight passed through the dense forest and illuminated the road ahead. Qin Yu felt a little relieved. He knew that as long as he reached a crowded place, the monster might be afraid.

However, when he was about to step out of the edge of the forest, the sight in front of him was jaw-dropping: the familiar town was now shrouded in a strange purple mist. The residents seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, mechanically repeating daily actions and expressions. Dull, eyes empty. Qin Yu stopped in shock, a strong uneasiness welling up in his heart. He realized that this chase was not an isolated incident, but was closely connected with the entire town and even deeper secrets. He must uncover the truth behind all this in order to truly resolve the crisis and protect innocent people from misfortune.

Qin Yu gritted his teeth, suppressed his fear, and turned to face the unknown creature approaching step by step.

Qin Yu stared at the town shrouded in purple mist, knowing that the abnormality at this moment was by no means accidental, but closely related to the killer they were tracking and the unknown creatures in the cave. He knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. He must find out the truth as soon as possible, awaken the manipulated residents, and find a way to deal with the monster.

He quickly adjusted his breathing, forced himself to calm down, and tried to sort out his chaotic thoughts. Suddenly, he remembered the mysterious symbols he had seen on the cave walls before. They had something in common with the tattoos on the killer's body, and perhaps they contained the key to solving all these mysteries. Qin Yu decided to return to the cave and try to decipher the symbols, even if it meant facing the terrifying creature again.
