After the arrangements were made, the sudden heavy downpour came to a halt. It was quite a surprise.
After personally witnessing the tragedy in the early hours of the morning, it brought a great shock to the seniors of the West Gully village. This time, they were doing mobilization work and said that they would move them, making the matter much simpler.
Although these old people are old, they can still walk. Only the boss of the old lady we met earlier is half-dead and needs someone to carry him out. The rest of the old people can easily walk for a dozen miles on the mountain road.
We are already short of manpower, so we can only send one of our armed police soldiers to escort these old men out. The rest of the men will follow us into the heart of the Great Yan Mountain.
Fortunately, after walking up the mountain road for more than ten miles, there was already our cars parked outside. Those were all very good off-road vehicles, and there were also a lot of people pulling them.
When the rain stopped, we were on the move. I checked my cell phone, and it was just after eight in the morning.
It was too late for breakfast. After eating some compressed biscuits and drinking some mineral water on the way, we parted ways with the villagers and headed in the opposite direction.
After the heavy rain, the mountain road was rough and difficult to walk on. Fortunately, they were all well-trained soldiers, so these small matters were not a problem.
After leaving the village, we walked seven to eight miles on the mountain road. After about an hour, we arrived at the place where we had visited in the early hours of the morning.
The situation now is that we only know that wild creatures are hiding in the Goose Mountains, but we have no idea where they are hiding, so our party can only search around the vast Goose Mountains, like a needle in a haystack.
They continued on the mountain road for another four to five miles. After crossing a few small hills, there were no signs of humans nor were there any small paths. This was the edge of the Great Yan Mountain.
After more than two hours of walking on the muddy mountain road, the big guy was starting to feel a bit tired. After experiencing the events of the early morning, everyone was tense, so Li Rujie told everyone to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, adjusted themselves a bit, and poured out the sand and mud that had been poured into their shoes.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li You Jie took me to the side and solemnly said, "Brother Tian Luo, I'm sorry, but as soon as I let you come over, we encountered such a troublesome case. I have a feeling that this time we might be able to put our lives on the line, no matter what, you are still my external helper, and I want to take responsibility for you. What I want to say is, it's not too late for you to withdraw now, you don't need to leave your life here, you are not a member of our special task team, you will not be restricted in any way."
I could feel his sincerity, so I immediately smiled and said, "Brother Li, saying these words is a little strange. My master told me to come out to train in the mortal world so I have to endure it. If I encounter any difficulties, I will withdraw, but I will just stay in the temple and not come out. "Besides, we have already reached this place. If you let me go, I won't even be able to see what that barbarian looks like, right?"
As if it was such a heavy burden, he patted my shoulder and said, "Brother Tian Luo, this time I owe you. If we can survive this ordeal, and if you need my help in the future, just say so."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely have to trouble you in the future." I smiled again.
After resting for a while, Li Renjie told everyone to get up and continue going deeper into the forest.
It was already around 11 o'clock in the afternoon. The morning rain was still quite cool, but at this time, it suddenly became hot.
It was a scorching summer day, and there was no wind. The leaves didn't move at all. After walking for a while, their bodies were completely drenched in sweat.
There were all kinds of small animals in the forest, and the cicadas were chirping noisily in the trees, causing people's minds to be in turmoil.
Along the way, everyone was walking with a heavy atmosphere. Very few people spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for no reason.
Our formation had been adjusted. This time, it was two armed police soldiers leading the charge. The guns in their hands were always turned on. If anything happens, we can open fire at any time.
Behind the two armed police soldiers, Li Renjie and I followed.
The members of the special task force are all very strong, but when it comes to individual strength, Li Rujie and I are both slightly higher in cultivation, so it's natural for the two of us to be at the forefront.
In addition, there were also two members of the special task force at the back responsible for cutting off the rear. In the middle, there were three members of the special task force.
If they had been on guard the night before, with the special task force, the situation might have been different.
Since they had joined the special task force, they were definitely cultivators. If they were standing guard while carefully comprehending the changes in the surrounding fields, they would still be able to sense the danger. Perhaps those two soldiers would not die because of that.
But now, nothing he said was useful. He had already been killed.
All we have now is to find those savages and avenge the deaths of our brothers.
As we walked along, we were alerted by a sudden stench of decay coming from directly in front of us.
With a wave of his hand, everyone behind him raised their weapons and prepared to fight.
Li Renjie and I took the lead and led the two armed police soldiers to grope along the stench trail. In the end, we found two heavily rotted corpses a few dozen meters in front of us.
When they saw the two corpses, the two soldiers leading the way immediately reacted and ran to the side to vomit.
Even people like me, who have seen so much blood, find it hard to bear the sight, and retch a few times in my throat.
Li Renjie's complexion was not good. He extended his hand to cover his nose and squatted in front of the two corpses.
These two corpses were male, and judging from how rotten they were, they should have died here at least three days ago. It was a scorching summer day, and their corpses rotted very fast.
Their stomachs were similarly split open, and the internal organs were all gone. In their chests, maggots were constantly crawling around, and some even crawled out of their eye sockets. Due to the heavy rain earlier, the corpses had become extremely swollen, as if they had swelled up.
