India

After traveling for about a week or two, the scales of the snake were about to be covered with fluorescent light, and they arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The shape of this mountain is not special, it is about the same height as the mountain in the north of Yangyuan Town they climbed, and there are no cliffs, it looks like a very ordinary mountain no matter how you look at it.

But what made them more concerned was that clouds and fog appeared from the halfway up the mountain, and the fog became thicker as they went up.The upper part of the entire mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, almost hidden in the mist, and a mountain peak loomed in the white mist, indicating the height of the mountain.

Looking at the dark blue mountain, Mo Nan couldn't help shivering. This mountain gave him a very bad feeling.

"...Hey, do you think it's weird?" He asked the person next to him.

"If you're afraid, it's still too late to go back now."

"Pooh."

Ji Guiran picked up the stone and confirmed it: "In short, this is here, you can get there by turning over."

"Climb slowly!" Mo Nan remembered the experience last time, and couldn't help being afraid for a while, the so-called fear of well ropes after being bitten by a snake for ten years.

Although he hadn't been afraid of ropes in the past ten years.

What responded to him was Ji Guiran's pitiful eyes.

"...What do you mean by that expression?"

"I feel sorry for you."

"I see it."

"Then you still ask?"

"..."

He should have known a long time ago that reasoning with Ji Guiran is tantamount to making a fuss, and it would be more realistic to climb a mountain with a dull head.

Although he had told Ji Guiran to slow down before climbing the mountain, Mo Nan completely understood that the fellow had completely ignored his words.

The distance between the two was increasing, and Mo Nan wanted to shorten the distance, but couldn't.

Such a sense of distance made Mo Nan fearful. He was afraid that a few lunatics would pop up suddenly and tie him up and drag him to a corner. This time he had no money to blackmail him, so that means...

Can't even think about it.

Seeing that he was about to reach the halfway up the mountain, Mo Nan could already feel that the range of sight was gradually shrinking, and the figure of Ji Guiran who was walking in front was covered with a layer of mist, and if he was further away, he would not be able to see it.

He urged himself to go faster, and ran forward and upward with all his strength, but the slope of the mountain road made him out of breath before running tens of meters.

He was so tired that his mouth was dry for a while, and then he picked up the water bag that he carried with him, took off the cap and took a few sips. When he finished drinking and put the cap back, he looked closely and saw that his whole body was petrified.

He found that Ji Guiran had disappeared.

Obviously he just ran for a while, logically speaking, he should have shortened the distance, so did he follow suit?

"Ji Guiran, you bastard..."

Mo Nan looked at the dense forests around him, and the mountains were shrouded in a thin layer of clouds. The more he looked into the depths of the tree shadows, the more he felt that there was something inside, as if something would pop out in the next second.

He was terrified, Ji Guiran had been lost in front of him, and he felt that he had no strength to move forward.

Suddenly, a pair of hands climbed onto his shoulders, and the sudden feeling frightened Mo Nan, his feet limp and he fell to the ground.

The sense of fear spread all over his body, and he screamed without thinking: "I don't have money, don't rob me!!! Don't have evil intentions against me and force me, I will bite my tongue and kill myself!!!"

Mo Nan roared out with all his strength, and the voice of despair echoed in the valley.

Seeing that the person with the hand on the shoulder did not move for a long time, he trembled and opened his eyes to look at the person.

As a result, Ji Guiran's slightly surprised expression came into view.

When Ji Guiran went up to explore the road, he found that it was a dead end. He went straight through the forest and found that the road was on the other side, so he walked down the bushes and wanted to tell Mo Nan to change the road, but he didn't know when he just met him. , he reacted so much.

"Can you stop being so scary!!" Mo Nan, who was still terrified, asked.

"I didn't know you were so timid." In fact, Ji Guiran was also taken aback by Mo Nan.

After the accident, Mo Nan felt lingering fear, and grabbed Ji Guiran's clothes without any explanation.

"..." Ji Guiran looked at him silently.

Mo Nan blushed, but he didn't let go of his cheek, with a rascal expression of "I'm just going to drag you to do anything to me".

Ji Guiran didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he just let him go, as if he didn't have this person, and continued to move forward on his own, but occasionally when Mo Nan couldn't catch up with the speed, he would feel the force of the clothes being pulled back.

The position of the two of them was already halfway up the mountain, and the range of sight had become narrow. They could only see things within a few meters, and even the scenery below and walking over had become confusing.

After walking and crawling for an unknown amount of time, even Ji Guiran felt his legs ached, let alone the panting Mo Nan behind him.

Strange, is this mountain so high? Why is it still going uphill after walking for so long.

"Hey...Ji Guiran...ha...you, stop for a moment..." The person behind him spoke weakly, and tugged at his clothes along the way.

"What are you doing?" He replied angrily, feeling that his clothes were about to be torn.

"Take a break...I'm so tired..."

"How did you grow up so healthy?"

How did you grow up so healthy that you haven't been beaten to death yet? !Mo Nan really wanted to talk back, but he was even more afraid that the Buddha would abandon him and leave if he got upset.

It seemed that Mo Nan would choose to put on a face whenever he was in such a situation where he couldn't get angry or resist.

"I don't care, I'm tired, you are not allowed to go!"

"..."

"Just a moment..."

Ji Guiran looked at Mo Nan, who was really tired, and felt contemptuous in his heart, and then Quan Dang acquiesced, as he was also tired, so it was better to sit down and have a rest.

The two sat on the steps of the mountain road. It seemed that no one had walked this road for a long time. The green and fluffy moss covered the table. Where the two of them passed, they would leave clear footprints.

While recharging his energy, Ji Guiran was thinking about the mountain.They have been up the mountain for a long time, at least one hour, and the height of this mountain has been seen at the foot of the mountain before, and it only takes half an hour to climb over it, so the remaining half an hour is spent. where?

He thought silently, and began to look around.He couldn't see too far, so he set his eyes on the steps. There were traces of the two of them walking on the moss-covered steps, and the footprints stretched from bottom to top.

Wait...on? ?

He suddenly reacted and stared at the footprints on the steps above.

When Mo Nan grabbed him just now, did they continue to go up? ?

So where did those footprints come from? ?

He carefully observed the environment he was in, searched the memory in his mind, the blurred shadow combined with the scenery in front of him...

Ji Guiran suddenly realized that they had been circling in the mountains.

The visibility of the environment here is low, and the scenery has not changed much, so the two of them have not noticed it all the time.

Knowing the situation, Ji Guiran rubbed his temples with a headache.It must not be a good thing to encounter what is commonly known as ghosts hitting the wall in this broken place. What's more terrible is that I don't know the way to crack it, which means that I won't be able to get out for a while.

He glanced at Mo Nan next to him, and this guy had already started to doze off against him, looking defenseless, and he knew at a glance that he didn't know about the current bad situation.

Seeing that his saliva was about to drip again, Ji Guiran woke him up with a shake.

"Don't sleep, get up and find a way to go down the mountain."

"...Huh?...What?" Mo Nan, who was in a daze, couldn't understand what he was saying.

"..." Ji Guiran had the urge to slap him, "I said, there are robbers coming up from behind, run away."

Hearing Mo Nan's words, his eyes immediately brightened, but his face suddenly turned pale.

"Are you sober? I just lied to you."

"..."

Ji Guiran found that even if he explained the situation to Mo Nan, it would not help, it just caused more personal anxiety.

"Are we going to be stuck here forever?"

Occasionally, that person would say some depressing words to make people depressed, which made the already irritable Ji Guiran even more clueless.

"You're stuck here alone, I'm leaving." He couldn't help but sneer.

"I just encouraged the morale of the army!" Mo Nan said plausibly.

"Ah."

The two of them walked forward for an unknown amount of time, and in the end, they seemed to circle around again and returned to the steps.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving," Mo Nanlai said on the ground, "I'm going to come back anyway, so why go?"

In fact, Ji Guiran also thinks so, instead of circling in circles, it is better to sit and adjust his state.

But stopping doesn't mean sitting still and waiting to die. He has to find a way to get out of this ghost place. He doesn't want to be trapped in this strange mountain forever.

But how to get out?
