Chapter 1742 Dead End
Stanley and the others all came out of the tent and looked around vigilantly.
"Did you hear the scream just now? Do you know what it was?"
Lief waved the dagger in his hand and asked in surprise.
"It's the roar of a wild beast. There are actually wild beasts in this canyon."
A Terminator said nervously.
Stanley glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Even if it's a beast, what are you afraid of?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another roar was heard.
This time, they clearly identified the direction.
However, the canyon was filled with white fog and it was already night, so they could not see anything.
"It's just a wild beast. If it really attacks, it will be a good opportunity to give us a snack!"
Stanley didn't care at all, instead he said with some anticipation.
As he spoke, several more roars were heard.
Each roar came from a different direction, as if many wild beasts were responding to each other.
In an instant, roars came one after another, becoming more and more numerous and closer.
Some people even felt their eardrums vibrating and seemed to smell a fishy odor in the air.
"Set up the formation!"
Stanley finally realized that these beasts were not as simple as he had imagined.
Generally speaking, wild beasts prefer to hunt alone.
But this group of beasts were obviously different. They seemed to be calling their own kind and surrounded this place.
Now, Stanley felt that his group had become the prey of wild beasts.
As he gave the order, five first-level killers and eight terminators drew their daggers, formed a circle around their camp, and watched the movements in the fog vigilantly.
However, the roar suddenly disappeared.
There was an eerie silence all around.
Although there was no roar, Stanley was very sure that the beasts were around them and had not left.
Just when everyone was extremely nervous, a loud roar seemed to explode right in their ears!
At the same time, a foul-smelling wind blew out of the fog, and a huge beast suddenly pounced on a killer.
The killer was startled, but he reacted quickly and stabbed out with the dagger in his hand!
"Pfft!"
With a dull sound, the dagger pierced directly into the beast's chest!
The beast roared again in pain and slapped the killer, knocking him to the ground and causing him to roll several times.
It also turned around suddenly and disappeared into the fog in an instant!
Looking at the killer, his face was beaten to pieces, with deep blood grooves on his face, and you could directly see the white bones!
Although he was not dead, he was already dying.
"What is so ferocious?"
A Terminator asked in surprise.
"I didn't see it clearly, but I saw that it was covered in white fur, with scarlet eyes. It was at least two meters tall when it stood up... and its hands seemed to be the same as a human's..."
A killer standing next to the injured man said with lingering fear.
Another person nodded and said, "Yes, it looks like a giant..."
"snowman?!"
Suddenly, Kurofuji Kazuma spoke in a lost voice.
Stanley asked in surprise: "Snowman?"
Kurofuji Yizhen said: "I thought this was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to really exist in the snowy mountains! Snowmen are a kind of ferocious beast in the snowy mountains. They look like humans, but are much taller and more powerful than humans. Like humans, they like to live in groups and have a sense of tribe. Female snowmen are responsible for staying behind to take care of the little snowmen, while male snowmen are responsible for hunting..."
Stanley was dumbfounded and said, "Is it so outrageous?"
"Be careful, there are more than one of them now that they are here! Watch out for them to attack again!"
Kurofuji Kazuma suddenly shouted nervously.
At the same time, he pulled out a steel knife and looked into the fog vigilantly.
At this moment, roars suddenly broke out and came from all directions!
At the same time, several snowmen jumped out of the mist and attacked them fiercely.
However, all the people who came to the Black Temple this time were warriors, and even the worst one was a first-class killer.
At first, the man was attacked and was knocked to the ground by the snowman because he didn't react in time.
With the lessons learned from the past, everyone naturally became more vigilant.
The snowman rushed over and they all swung their daggers to attack.
Beasts are always beasts, how can they be a match for these warriors?
A snowman had one arm cut off and ran away injured.
Several other snowmen were also stabbed by the dagger and fled quickly.
They come and go like the wind, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
But the air still lingered with the stench from their bodies and the bloody smell from when they were injured.
The ferocity of the attack just now had indeed left these ruthless Black Temple masters with lingering fears.
There were not many snowmen attacking this time, but no one knew how big their tribe was, and whether they would summon more snowmen to retaliate.
"Move immediately and go into the canyon inside!"
Kurofuji Yizhen thought about it and gave the order.
At this time, he no longer cared about Hayato Tsunekawa's orders.
If we don't move, we'll be in trouble if more snowmen come.
All the people in the Black Temple felt that they could not stay here any longer, so they packed up their tents and quickly moved inside.
In the distance, Hayato Hengchuan also heard the roar of the beast.
He asked the man in blue in surprise, "What's that sound? Are there wild animals in this snowy mountain?"
The man in blue said in surprise, "I heard there are brown bears, snowmen, and snow leopards in this snowy mountain. I wonder what is roaring."
In the fog, they couldn't tell the direction, and didn't know that the place where the roar came from was where Kurofuji Kazuma and his men were stationed.
Fortunately, the roar soon disappeared.
Hayato Hengchuan didn't pay much attention to it and went into the tent to rest.
…………
Pi Yangyang and his companions did not know that the Black Temple disciples who were tracking them were attacked by the snowmen.
Moreover, one person was seriously injured.
They had set up camp to rest and wait for daybreak.
Nothing happened during the night. As soon as the day broke, Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others packed their luggage and continued on their journey.
This canyon is not very wide, with steep cliffs on both sides and no grass growing on it.
The canyon is full of jagged rocks and is very difficult to walk through.
Fortunately, there is a stream, and the road along both sides of the stream is relatively flat.
After walking for a few hours, Pi Yangyang's eyebrows suddenly twitched. He stopped and listened carefully.
Seeing this, Chu Ge asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What sound did you hear again?"
After listening for a while, Pi Yangyang said, "There seems to be a waterfall ahead."
"Fall?"
Chu Ge looked ahead blankly, "Where is the waterfall?"
Pi Yangyang said with certainty: "It can't be wrong. There is obviously a lot more moisture in the air here. There must be a waterfall ahead."
Chu Ge listened carefully, but still heard nothing. He asked Tie Niu suspiciously, "Tie Niu, did you hear anything?"
Tie Niu shook his head, then smiled, "Big brother, you won't hear wrong."
The few of them continued to move forward, and after passing a difficult passage, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
However, when they saw the scene before them, Pi Yangyang and Chu Ge both showed looks of astonishment on their faces.
Pi Yangyang was not wrong. There was indeed a waterfall in front of them, pouring down from the mountainside and falling into a pool at the foot of the mountain.
The strange thing is that the water in the pond is neither full nor overflowing, and no one knows where the water that fell from the sky went.
The pool is surrounded by round boulders, which were obviously formed through long-term erosion and weathering.
On one side of the pond, there are quite a few plants. Although they are not tall, they are lush and green, which seems out of place with the ice and snow on the ground.
Although the scenery was beautiful, Pi Yangyang felt disappointed.
Because the waterfall in front of us is the end of the canyon.
In other words, it's a dead end.
"This... Lingquan Mountain can't be here, right? Could it be the one in front of us?"
Chu Ge was also a little confused.
There was no road ahead and Lingquan Mountain did not appear.
Pi Yangyang shook his head, "It's not. Master Qian said that there is a clear spring on the hillside of Lingquan Mountain that never dries up. This is a waterfall, it's definitely not here."
Chu Ge said with some annoyance: "Then we took the wrong road. Let's turn back and take another road."
Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, since we are here, let's take it easy. Now that we are here, let's go and take a look ahead."
He was attracted by the plants beside the pond.
As a Chinese medicine practitioner, the natural question I would think of is whether there are any precious herbs hidden there.
Tie Niu was interested in the pool and waterfall, and nodded and said, "Yes, since we are here, let's go and take a look."
Chu Ge no longer talked about leaving, and the five of them walked towards the pond.
When he arrived at the pond, Tie Niu put down his backpack and wanted to wash his hands in the pond.
Pi Yangyang, Chu Ge and others also put down their luggage and sat down to rest.
Tie Niu came to the pond alone and was about to squat down to wash his hands.
Suddenly, the water surface exploded, and a huge black shadow jumped out from the pool and pounced towards Tie Niu!
