When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

Lin Lezhi moved his body slightly, and the dry bones stacked under him made a creaking sound. Just feeling the shape and coldness of the bones with his palms made him feel extremely heavy.

The dead bones were piled up one on top of the other, and their weight must have broken many of the dead's bones.

They had already suffered great pain and died unjustly, and now their remains had to suffer another innocent disaster because of themselves.

What a sin.

However, in a while, he will become a part of this place.

Apologize to them in the underground.

Thinking of this, Lin Lezhi's previously tense mood relaxed. He was going to die anyway, so being able to survive until now was enough.

Lin Lezhi waited quietly for his own ending.

but……

Is it a little slow?

Judging from the speed at which snakes move, he should have been killed by the snakes by now. However, not only did he not hear any sound of the snakes moving, not even a single snake poked its head out from the top of the pit.

Always have to figure out what's going on.

Lin Lezhi endured the pain in his left shoulder, saying "sorry, sorry for disturbing you" in his heart, and carefully stood up and crawled to the top of the pit.

The moment he stuck his head out, Lin Lezhi was so scared that he almost fell back into the pit.

The current scene is really too weird.

All the snakes stopped about two meters away from the pit entrance, staring closely in their direction, spitting out their tongues frequently and quickly, keeping a vigilant posture ready to attack at any time.

This made Lin Lezhi feel a little creepy and his back felt cold.

Is there something behind it?

Lin Lezhi's spirit tensed up again, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he dared not even blink. Then Lin Lezhi retracted his head under the top of the pit and turned his head stiffly towards the back.

It’s not that I’m afraid of ghosts.

Snakes have a much keener sense of smell than humans. If they don't dare to move forward rashly, they may fear that more threatening creatures will appear behind them.

such as……

A bigger snake?

Rather than being entangled and suffocated to death by a giant snake, then swallowed up and excreted with only a few bone residues, or some other ferocious creature, Lin Lezhi would rather be bitten to death by these small snakes in front of him.

At least the body can be left intact.

Lin Lezhi leaned his back against the wall and turned his head, his sight quickly sweeping across the thick fog in front of him, his eyes darkening as he saw panic that was difficult to calm down.

The fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility in the deep forest was getting lower and lower than where he was just now. Judging from the location of the group of white snakes, the visibility was probably less than three meters.

Even if it's only three meters, it's enough to see a lot of things clearly.

Can……

Apart from the remains right in front of him and the increasingly thick fog, there was nothing behind him, not even a single unusual sound.

Lin Lezhi found it difficult to explain the current situation and quickly listed various possibilities in his mind.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind.

Lin Lezhi, who had been highly focused and did not dare to relax, became even more tense. He slowly turned in the direction of the sound, held the top of the pit with both hands, and stuck his head out, only reaching up to his eyes.

The moment he saw it clearly, Lin Lezhi's eyes widened, with disbelief visible in his eyes.

The snakes all crawled in one direction, and as they moved, the overly tall weeds made rustling sounds.

As the snakes moved further away from him, the rustling sound gradually became quieter.

Lin Lezhi held onto the wall of the pit and squatted back into the Bone Pit. Looking at the thick fog in front of him and the remains in the pit, his expression became solemn.

After the Hundred Bone Pit was dug up, the glowing green Yin Fire disappeared as if it had completed its mission.

Therefore, it is impossible that this group of snakes dared not approach because of the Yin Fire.

But if it weren't for the Yin Fire, and there were no threatening creatures ahead, why were they so cautious and dared not get closer?

Or……

They decided to leave only after sensing a threat several miles away.

Lin Lezhi was puzzled.

Soon, the slight rustling sound was swallowed up by the fog until no sound could be heard.

The quiet and foggy forest was just as quiet as before.

Lin Lezhi was so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing which was about to stagnate and the slight creaking sound of dry bones under his feet.

Terribly quiet...

After the highly tense mind relaxes a little, the feeling of coldness comes over you. Physiological coldness cannot be overcome by willpower.

Lin Lezhi rubbed his palms together and blew a breath of warm air into them, his body trembling slightly.

The pit of bones was gradually swallowed up by the fog. Looking around, this pit of bones where hundreds of people were buried seemed to have no borders.

Looking at the piles of dry bones beneath him that could not be identified or restored to their original identities, Lin Lezhi's eyes were filled with heaviness.

He could not feel the pain they suffered on their behalf, so he had no right to feel sadness and resentment on their behalf.

But it is precisely because of this that I feel even heavier, and that is all I feel.

Anyway, since there are no snakes around, I shouldn't disturb them here.

Although this is not a good place, it is also their resting place.

Lin Lezhi stood up, dragging his body which was a little slow due to the cold, and supported himself on the edge of the pit with his hands. He walked out of the pit and went to the location of the fire starter.

Lin Lezhi picked it up and blew it.

Fortunately, there was still some spark in the tinderbox and it was not completely extinguished. After being blown away, it reignited.

Lin Lezhi gathered all the used wooden boards nearby together and set them on fire. He didn't know if the fire would attract anything, but if he didn't keep warm, he would surely freeze to death here if he stayed like this for a night.

With the heat from the fire, Lin Lezhi's body felt a little warmer.

but……

This weak firelight was not enough for Xiao Yihuo and the others to find this place.

Lin Lezhi looked around and his sight fell on the tree that had been chopped down a lot, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

I don’t know how Xiao Yihuo and the others are doing, and whether they left safely.

If there were no more snakes behind, he could spend the night here peacefully. It would be best for them not to come here in such a thick fog.

Lin Lezhi looked at the crawling traces of the snake on the ground, and his eyes darkened again.

The direction they left was the direction of the puppet cave.

The Doll Cave is not far from the Hundred Bone Pit, about one mile away, but in the current situation, it is not wise to move forward rashly.

And such a long time has passed, and there has been no sound.

I guess I'm the only one left around here.

Firewood with moisture in it is always difficult to burn and is also a bit pungent. Just when Lin Lezhi was planning to find some relatively dry firewood around.

Suddenly, a sound of tearing air came from behind Lin Lezhi.

Lin Lezhi dodged immediately, and the thing hit a dead tree not far away, making a "bang" sound.

what?

Because of the fog, it was difficult to see clearly, so Lin Lezhi mustered up his energy and walked forward a few steps before he could see clearly.

Isn’t this the medicine bag that Jiang Lian’an gave me? How come it is here?

Lin Lezhi immediately touched himself, and after touching himself randomly, Lin Lezhi blinked a few times.

Eh?

When did the medicine bag I carried with me disappear?

After hearing the steady footsteps behind him, Lin Lezhi smiled awkwardly and turned around stiffly, seeing Xiao Yihuo with a stern face.

His eyes were fixed on himself, as if he wanted to stare a hole through him.

For some reason, seeing Xiao Yihuo acting like this and feeling somewhat guilty and without confidence, Lin Lezhi smiled awkwardly and said, "Ha...haha...thanks...thanks for finding you here..."
