C716 Swallowing Valley

"Smoke, give me a cigarette!" Ma Zhilin was silent for a long time. His hands trembled as he stretched them out to Lin Bai. After he lit up the cigarette, he took a few deep puffs. It was as if he wouldn't dare to think back to what happened three days ago if he wasn't anesthetized by nicotine …

Originally, they did not find a single one of those ordinary wild beasts that could be seen in the mountains, not even a few wild rabbits and sheep along the way. As for Snow Lotus and the other medicinal herbs, there was no need to mention anything, not even a shadow of a single one of them …

No matter what they did, these days without any rewards always made people feel extremely frustrated! The bald man, who was the leader of the robbers, was in an extremely bad mood. Along the way, he continued to beat up Ma Zhanlin and his sons for bearing the burden of the skinners, saying that it was because of their bad luck that they had not been able to gain anything from the mountain.

Under the dark muzzle of the submachine gun, the father and son did not dare to say anything. They could only let those people from the bandit gang humiliate them. At the beginning, these robbers had only held a joking attitude and did not pay much attention to the unusual occurrence at Mount Kunlun. However, as time passed, they began to feel that something was amiss …

As they entered the mountain, the animals became more and more sparse. In the end, even the rabbits were nowhere to be seen. When these poachers first entered the mountain, they wanted to bring as little rations as possible to replenish their rations. But now, there was nothing left and the rations were decreasing. How could anyone endure this!

After returning empty-handed for another day, the bald leader was infuriated. He shouted angrily and looked around the mountains. If they couldn't find anything else, he would kill the three of them to save some rations so that they could leave Mount Kunlun.

Under the threat of the guns, what could Ma Zhanlin and his father do? They could only pray every day that some wild beasts would appear as soon as possible so that they could escape from this calamity.

Perhaps the father and son duo's prayers had finally touched the heavens. After advancing for a few more kilometers, the group actually found a valley. Moreover, within the valley, there were piles upon piles of the remains of all kinds of wild beasts, including the extremely valuable animals such as the Chiru and the Snow Leopard.

Although the direction of these beasts' deaths was in the same direction, and with so many corpses piled up around them, it looked even more terrifying, but these anomalies did not cause the greedy bald man to change his mind. He urged Ma Zhanlin, his father, and the other two to first explore the valley.

The sky was blue with white clouds, the river was gurgling, and bright flowers were blooming all around. Everything was so peaceful. After a few days of empty-handed hunting, this gang suddenly had such a big harvest. Feeling overjoyed, they lit a bonfire outside the valley and started to celebrate, leaving Ma Zhanlin and his father to work with some of the small fry to deal with the corpses of the wild beasts in the valley.

Since he was a child, he had been addicted to tobacco. After getting a cigarette from the little man, he thought that if the ash fell on the skin, it might ruin the appearance of the fur, making it impossible to sell it. After a moment of hesitation, he walked out of the valley, intending to smoke and rest for a while.

The moment Ma Zhanlin walked out of the valley entrance, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and large, ink-like clouds suddenly gathered together. Moreover, there was the sound of a thunderstorm that came from all directions, and before the bald man could give the order to cover the carcasses of the wild beasts in the valley with a tarpaulin, the lightning as thick as a bowl suddenly roared in the valley.

In this critical moment, not only did the three sons of Ma Zhanlin not walk out of the valley, they seemed to have seen something strange in their bodies, and they kept running in all directions. The supervisors kept aiming their guns at the sky, and the scene at that time was as strange as one could imagine!

Ma Zhilin was worried about the safety of his three sons. Seeing the situation turn bad, he wanted to rush into the valley to drag them out, but he had yet to take a step forward! However, the thunderstorm had completely covered the valley and was filled with dazzling lightning bolts. The strangest thing was that besides the valley, there was not a single bit of lightning leaking out from other places.

Lightning carried millions of voltages. Whether it was the wild beast, Ma Zhanlin's three sons, or those small fry, under the frenzied dance of the electric snakes, they were all chopped into charcoal!

But it wasn't over yet. The moment the lightning stopped, the ground in the valley started to collapse. No matter if it was the charred bodies of the wild beasts or the human corpses, they all sank into the ground and completely disappeared. When the corpses had all disappeared, the valley regained its tranquility once again. The weather was still beautiful, the river gurgling, and the fragrance of flowers wafting in the air.

Under such a strange scene, how could anyone dare to stay there? Ma Zhanlin wanted to enter the valley to search for his son, but he was forced to leave by the bald man with a gun to his head.

"You will know everything that happens next …" Ma Zhanlin's hands trembled as he stuffed the cigarette butt into his mouth. After he took a deep breath of the smoke, he said hoarsely, "My poor three children are not married yet. That's all!"

His voice was hoarse with an indescribable sadness. It was as if he had expended all of his energy telling this matter. Two streams of murky old tears flowed down his face involuntarily.

"You're already so old, what's wrong with that, you want to go up the mountain and peel off the skin …" Upon seeing this, Zhang Sanming sighed and said.

Ma Zhilin rubbed his swollen eyes and said with a wry smile: "You think I want to go up the mountain? Those lambs and leopards are still alive and well in the mountains. "But there's nothing I can do. My wife has a rich disease like diabetes, so she doesn't have the money to exchange for insulin. I can't just watch as she disappears, can I?"

Hearing Ma Zhilin's words, Lin Bai and the rest remained silent. As for Zhang SanKuang, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and only let out a few long sighs. However, the people he hated the most were pitiful. It was just like Ma Zhanlin. If it wasn't because of his wife's severe illness, how could he have come up the mountain and lost his three sons?

"Go to the tent over there and rest. Tomorrow, I'll give you some rations to bring down with you." Go to Guermu and find Buzhuud, the Mongolian barbecue shop, and ask him to pay you first to see your wife. "Remember, tell him Chen Baian told you to go, and he'll give you the money!" Chen Baian was kind. Looking at Ma Zhanlin's sorrowful and sorrowful appearance, he could not help but ask.

Ma Zhanlin was extremely grateful. No matter how many people tried to stop him, he could not stop him. He knelt down and kowtowed again, then walked towards the tent that Chen Baian had used to live in. Although his figure had disappeared into the night, the night wind still carried with it the faint sound of weeping, causing people to cry, their hearts feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Losing three sons at such an age, and his wife also has such an illness, it's not easy for him …" After glancing at Ma Zhanlin's tent, Zhang San was moved and asked, "Little brother, what do you think about the valley that Ma Zhanlin mentioned?"

"When we get down the mountain, I'll pay him to properly treat his wife and stop doing such things." Lin Bai also sighed and continued in a deep voice, "If I were to say it, I'm afraid that the place where they died was the Sigler Valley that we were going to go to. Furthermore, the situation in the valley is most likely caused by those people who reversed the Five Elements Formations!"

"Motherf * cker, these bastards! Whatever methods they use are vicious!" I wonder what kind of game it is, to actually produce so many corpses! " Zhang SanKuang recalled the sad look Ma Zhanlin had on his face, and felt extremely angry at the same time. He clenched his fists and shouted angrily.

Lin Bai said, "No matter what they do, they definitely have no good intentions. But once we get there, we should know what they are plotting!" According to what Ma Zhanlin said, we are not far from the Great Canyon Margaret, so it is best for everyone to rest early and rest up. There will be a tough battle waiting for us next! "

At the entrance of the valley, the corpses of the dead were still piled up, and the smell of blood was faintly discernible in the air. Furthermore, when they recalled the strange incident at the Sigler Valley, who could still sleep, only lying in their tents and tossing and turning.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Bai felt that something was amiss. He turned his head and saw that Chen Baian had slowly stood up and was walking out of the tent. Lin Bai hesitated, feeling that something was amiss with Chen Baian, he followed quietly behind him to see what he was up to.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. It's not even thirty years, how could another cycle of reincarnation begin? " Chen Baiyin walked out of the tent, but he did not walk too far. He chose a large stone and sat down, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky. He talked to himself incessantly, with a hint of sadness on his face, as if he was reminiscing about something unpleasant that had happened in the past.

Lin Bai took a few steps forward and chuckled, "Old Chen, why are you in such a good mood? Why don't you come out at night to see the stars?" the river flows east and west for thirty years, what does it mean to be reincarnated again? "

"I can't sleep, so I came out to get some fresh air. What thirty years, what cycle of reincarnation? " Chen Baian slowly said as he turned around.

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment and said softly, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. When do you want to say it, tell me!"

Seeing Lin Bai's departing figure, Chen Baian lowered his head and sighed. He looked unspeakably sorrowful.
