There was a strange smell in the dark room, white smoke from the incense burner drifted into the air, and a bottle of stone statue was placed on the ancient incense table.

An old man wearing a bronze mask was kneeling on the bunk under the incense table, singing strange notes in his mouth.

With a "creak", a middle-aged man pushed the door in and stood quietly behind the old man.

The old man finished his chanting, stood up, and the bell on the bronze mask made a crisp sound.

The middle-aged man respectfully said: "Master Priest, the new foreigner wants to go to the cliff."

The priest opened his mouth and said lightly, "Let them go."

The middle-aged man hesitated: "But there..."

The priest interrupted the middle-aged man, "Ata needs a sacrifice, don't you feel it? Ata is about to wake up!"

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all. He bowed slightly and left the room.

The old man knelt down on the bunk again, chanting the ancient sacrificial speech, no expression could be seen on his covered face.

Outside the forest

The doctor looked at the dense forest in front of him and said, "I'll take you here. Although they won't give you a guide, it's a good thing to allow you to go."

Professor Li shook hands with the doctor, "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a map, thank you very much."

The doctor smiled, and gave Professor Li a small pocket, "There are a lot of mosquitoes in Yunnan, although you must have prepared it, it's better to bring more."

Professor Li hurriedly said, "Thank you so much."

The doctor ordered a few more words, and Professor Li couldn't help nodding, and finally saw that the students all showed expressions of impatience before starting on the road.

Tong Qi and Shen Ze were at the end. This archaeological team plus them had exactly thirteen people, and except for an old man and a girl, they were all strong young men.

The priest agreed to their archeology, of course, they were only allowed to touch things in a cave.And there is no guide, only a map.

The hanging coffin is located on the west side of the dense forest, and they had to go through most of the forest to get there.But young people are always energetic, so there is no need to worry about the distance.

Before departure, Tong Qi gave Shen Ze a sachet, and Shen Ze happily hung it on his waist, and kept asking what was in the sachet.

Tong Qi didn't answer, but told him that he could turn on the life insurance if necessary.

Although Shen Ze was extremely curious, he repeatedly assured Tong Qi that he would never open the sachet unless absolutely necessary.

The scenery in the mountain forest is very good, Tong Qi's pace can be said to be leisurely, Shen Ze naturally followed Tong Qi and slowed down.

After a while, the two of them opened a not too long distance from the archaeological team.

In archaeological work, this kind of behavior of changing one team into two teams in an unknown place is not allowed, but the boy with the black frame happened to be the last one walking.Shen Ze didn't follow up, he was so happy that it was too late, so of course he wouldn't tell the professor who led the team.

Shen Ze picked a small flower casually, and said, "Why do I suddenly feel so bored?"

Tong Qi glanced at Shen Ze and said, "Don't worry, this trip to Yunnan will definitely not be boring."

Shen Ze scratched his head, "I don't know where Wang Jun is, if we see the cave later, we can call out twice, maybe we can find him."

Tong Qi said, "You came to Yunnan just to find Wang Jun?"

Shen Ze shrugged, "In the beginning it was, but after you said that Mommy's going to be fine, it didn't work out, it's like coming to play."

Tong Qi said lightly: "Don't worry, it will definitely make you unforgettable forever."

Shen Ze squinted his eyes at Tong Qi, "Boss, don't be so pointed, what happened?"

Tong Qi shook his head, "Nothing happened."

Shen Ze looked at Tong Qi suspiciously, "Really? I always feel that there is something in your words."

Tong Qi comforted: "Even if something happened, wouldn't I still be there? Why, are you afraid?"

Shen Ze snorted twice, "What am I afraid of!"

Shen Ze was very keen, but Tong Qi really didn't know what was going to happen, he just had a feeling that something was going to happen.

In the woods, light and shadow intertwined, and countless pairs of eyes were watching this group of uninvited visitors in the dark, as if some conspiracy was brewing.

There was a commotion from the team in front, and a girl's scream came over. Shen Ze frowned and looked at the rioting team not far away and said, "Do you want to go over?"

Tong Qi glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go."

The sky, which was still clear just now, has turned dark at this time, as if a thunderstorm is about to pour down.

I saw a boy sitting on the ground with purple lips. Not far from him was a snake that had been cut in two.

Seeing that the boy was dying, Tong Qi shook his head, "It's hopeless."

The boy was still moaning on the ground, Professor Li's face was pale, and the girl was already crying.

Hearing Tong Qi's words, the black-framed boy glared at him fiercely.

Seeing Tong Qi, Professor Li said as if remembering something, "Mr. Tong! Mr. Tong must have a solution!"

Tong Qi didn't feel any pity at all, "Even if he is rescued, he won't be the same as before."

Professor Li gritted his teeth, "Save! Don't let the child die here without knowing why!"

Tong Qi still didn't make a move, "Look for it, there must be herbs nearby to detoxify the snake, it should be purple."

When the students of the archaeological team heard this, they rushed to find herbs, Shen Ze whispered, "What do you mean you can't be like before?"

Tong Qi replied: "The poison of this snake is very strong, and it can be fatal within 10 minutes. Even if he finds herbs, he will still be paralyzed."

Perhaps because of the strength of the crowd, some students soon cheered, "I found it, I found it!"

Take a look, it really is a purple grass.

Tong Qi stuffed grass into the boy's mouth, took out snake gall and stuffed it in, and said coldly, "Swallow it."

The boy swallowed the herbal medicine with great effort, and then fell into a coma.

Seeing his companion unconscious, the black-framed boy stood up with red eyes and wanted to pinch Tong Qi's neck, but before Tong Qi could move, Shen Ze punched him to the ground.

Tong Qi looked at the unconscious boy coldly and said, "Now we need two people to send him back."

The students looked at each other, and finally the only girl looked at Professor Li.

Professor Li also realized the seriousness of the matter, and thought for a while: "Which two students volunteered to send Huang back?"

The students didn't speak, Professor Li sighed, and finally said to the boy in the black frame: "Xiao Chen, why don't I work hard on you?"

At this time, a rather thin boy said: "Teacher, I'll take Huanglian back."

Professor Li was obviously relieved, "Okay, then you and Xiao Chen will take the unconscious classmate back and find a doctor to contact the hospital."

The thin boy nodded and smiled shyly, "Teacher, don't worry."

To Shen Ze's surprise, the black-framed boy set up the unconscious boy without saying anything.

There is no signal in the mountains, which is actually very unsafe.But because the archaeological team didn't go far, Professor Li was quite relieved.The two teams started walking in opposite directions.

The injury of the companion made the whole team depressed a lot, and the chattering students also shut up.

From a distance, it looks like a group of inanimate objects moving mechanically.

Shen Ze was the first to feel something was wrong.

The problem is that the sounds in the woods have disappeared, not only the sounds of the animals, but even the sound of the wind has stopped, leaving only the crunching sound of stepping on the fallen leaves.

The rainy Yunnan should be humid, but Shen Ze felt sultry, and he looked at Tong Qi with a little anxiety.

Tong Qi smiled, gently held Shen Ze's hand, and then wrote lightly on his palm: What do you feel?

Shen Ze grabbed Tong Qi's finger, and Tong Qi gently got rid of it.Shen Ze's uneasy mood was swept away, and he smiled and grabbed Tong Qi's palm and wrote: It's so quiet.

Tong Qi nodded, retracted his hand and made a secret gesture, and then Shen Ze heard the voice representing all kinds of life again.

Shen Ze looked at the team in front and lowered his voice, "What happened?"

Tong Qi sneered, "The priest who asked us to come probably didn't have any good intentions."

Shen Ze frowned and said, "This forest is weird."

"Let's take one step at a time," Tong Qi said lightly, "Ata is kind."

Confusion flashed in Shen Ze's eyes, "Ata? What is that?"

"The god of the Pumi tribe," Tong Qi said, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ze tapped his head with a wry smile, "When you said Ata, there was a sense of familiarity."

Tong Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "Maybe you and Atta are destined."

Shen Zepi smiled and said: "Actually, I only need to have a relationship with you. By the way, don't you care about the archaeological team?"

Tong Qi lowered his head slightly, his hair covered his eyes, "Do you want to take care of it?"

Shen Ze scratched his head, "You can't leave it alone, can you? Well, just accumulate some virtue."

Tong Qidao: "I'm afraid we will be used as sacrifices. We can save a few by then."

Shen Ze was stunned, "Sacrifice?"

Tong Qi nodded, his tone was a little hasty, "Follow me closely, I'm afraid the barrier won't be able to support it."

Sure enough, as soon as Tong Qi finished speaking, all the sounds disappeared, and only the "creaking" sound remained in Shen Ze's ears.

In the old room, the priest with the bronze mask was shaking a strange bell in his hand, doing movements that ordinary people couldn't understand, and muttering something to himself.

There was a circle of people around the priest, and they all knelt piously on the mat, with their foreheads on the ground and their hands on both sides of their foreheads.

The priest's bell rang quickly, and his figure danced faster and faster, and finally he knelt down suddenly in the direction of Shiwan Dashan, throwing himself on the ground.

"Ata, my father, please accept the sacrifices of your pious people, please wake up as soon as possible."

Just as the priest finished speaking, there was a sudden "creak" sound outside the house. The priest quickly raised his head to look at the window, and then said coldly, "Chasing! Don't let him destroy this sacrifice!"
