I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 297 Strange Mountain

Near the back mountain of the ancient Anning Temple, you can see a small path from afar.

Compared with other locations, this gap is quite obvious, revealing the yellow soil on the ground.

However, when I got closer, I found that this road was not so easy to walk on.

There are many thorns in this area, and the thorny vines extend to both sides. If these vines are not cut off, they will definitely scratch your legs.

The temperature is not that high this season, and everyone wears several layers of clothes.

But this does not mean that they want to stumble through it all the way.

"I'll go ahead."

Shen Yao pulled out a sickle from the side of his backpack, and Gu Chaoxi was stunned.

“Why did you buy this?”

To be precise, she should have asked why Shen Yao bought this at that time. She didn't even notice when it happened.

Shen Yao curled his lips and smiled, weighing the short sickle in his hand.

"Just grab it."

In fact, he also had two butcher knives in his backpack.

After all, he might encounter something in this mountain, so he might as well be prepared.

So, Shen Yao walked in front, Gu Chaoxi and Qin Wei walked in the middle, and Pei Yan was at the end.

The four people walked up along the visible path until they came to a broken and fallen tree, where they stopped.

The tree is very thick, and judging from the broken part, it must have been growing for at least twenty years.

Pei Yan squatted down and took a look, then raised his head to look towards the dense forest in front.

"This tree was broken not long ago, probably within the past week."

The fracture marks were so recent, and the fact that it was hidden in the woods made it easy to determine the time.

Gu Chaoxi bent down to take a look, then stood up, holding his lower back and looked around.

"You mean, there's something in this place that senses our arrival and doesn't want us to go into the mountain?"

"Yeah." Pei Yan nodded, lightly touched the broken surface with his fingers, and stood up.

Gu Chaoxi was silent for a while.

Qin Wei looked around and smiled unconsciously, pursing her lips.

“Come to think of it, this mountain is pretty weird.”

"what happened?"

Pei Yan turned his head and saw Qin Wei pointing at a certain location.

"Did you see the seven leaves that look like grass? Logically speaking, the geological environment here is not suitable for the growth of this kind of plant, but it can still grow so well."

"This means that there is indeed some kind of magnetic field here that is interfering with this area."

"If we exclude the existence of the other world for now, we might be able to find something unusual here."

When she saw those things just now, she was wondering, if it wasn't the other world, what on earth caused the expedition team to get lost in the mountains for ten minutes.

Now I can probably guess some of it.

The fog must be quite thick here at night.

The area captured in the expedition team's video was not actually very large, so it was impossible to specifically observe whether there was fog at that time.

But it is likely that what they saw with their naked eyes was fog.

Therefore, they did not feel strange even though they were spinning in circles for ten minutes.

As long as you find the right direction later, it will be easy to leave.

The reason why we went around to the side near the ancient Anning Temple is because that side faces the sun during the day, the temperature is higher than the back, and the fog is light.

Qin Wei rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.

"I didn't expect that after such a long time, I could still show off my coolness?"

If some rare materials that have not been mined or cultural relics are really found here.

Then she would be really excited, and she could brag to her mentor about how great she is in the future.

"Don't think about it for now, let's keep moving forward."

Pei Yan laughed, asked a few people to cheer up, and continued to move forward.

However, there was basically no road ahead, and we could only judge by some fallen plants that that was probably where the expedition team had passed.

After walking towards the mountain for about ten minutes, Shen Yao stopped.

Gu Chaoxi leaned forward and saw a tree in front of him.

This is the tree that appeared several times in the expedition team’s video.

"It looks like we've gotten lost."

It is still very early now. Although the forest is not as bright as outside, the sunlight can still shine in and everything can be seen clearly.

Qin Wei looked around and his eyes fell on the tree.

The reason why several people had a deep impression of this tree was probably because the camera had swept across this tree during the video recording.

It is very big, almost twice as big as the surrounding trees.

Its trunk is very thick and it takes at least three people to hold it.

It was late at night, but the tree in the video was still amazing.

Qin Wei walked past Shen Yao and looked at the tree trunk carefully.

"It's quite strange."

"Normally, the vegetation on this mountain should not have an interval of more than five years, but this tree is too different from the ones next to it."

Gu Zhaoxi tilted his head and asked, "Under what circumstances would this happen?"

"One is that the tree has always been here, but the surrounding landscape has changed over time."

"Second, there is something underneath this tree that has been nourishing its growth, so it is more special than other trees."

As soon as she finished speaking, the answer was already clear.

The expedition team could get lost here, and this tree is so special.

Naturally, everyone prefers the second possibility mentioned by Qin Wei.

"Can't we just dig up the ground?"

Shen Yao glanced at the thick tree trunk and frowned slightly.

But all he got was a roll of the eyes from Qin Wei.

"Please, how long will it take for the four of us to dig?"

"Of course, we should check if there are any hidden openings nearby, or use equipment to detect any special energy fluctuations."

But when she came, she didn't bring any professional equipment.

Obviously, we can only check whether there are any special hidden entrances nearby.

What if it really is a tomb?

"Search within a 15-meter radius of this tree."

After Qin Wei finished speaking, he started looking in a certain direction.

The reason for this range was that she observed this tree and found that its roots were deeper than those of other trees, so she probably just happened to find that special thing.

It is safer to search within a range of fifteen meters.

Several people began to search in different directions, but there were a lot of weeds and various vegetation, and they also had to be careful not to see any strange things coming out of the grass.

Gu Chaoxi looked slowly in a certain direction, his sight inadvertently drifting upwards.

"what is this?"

She paused at the foot of the tree, her eyes fixed on a certain spot in the trunk.

There seems to be something hanging there.

I looked at the tree trunk in front of me. It wasn't particularly thick, so I could still climb it.

Looking back, everyone seemed to be looking for it seriously.

She pursed her lips and reached out towards the tree trunk.
