C48 (2/2)

But now that he thought about it, when these two died, their eyes were looking in a fixed direction.

Now that he had a closer look, that direction was also the mountain of the village.

Only on the side where few people go.

The mountain in the village was very big, almost surrounding half of the village.

From the plants within the mountain, the mountain could be divided into two parts.

The first part is the one with the cemetery, the one we've been to a lot lately.

On the other side was mostly rock fragments and lush forest. When the two intersected, it was quite a wondrous sight.

Because the other side of the mountain was full of rocks, it was rather difficult to climb. The villagers would not go there when they had nothing to do.

I thought at first that my adoptive father's body was looking at the whole village.

But now that he thought about it, the corpse's eyes were slightly rolled up, as if it were staring at the top of the mountain.

And that mountain that usually didn't have anyone on it, could there be some hidden secret?

Seeing that it wasn't too late yet, I brought Lingling to the foot of the mountain.

Although it was the same mountain, there were many paths to the top of the mountain. Furthermore, the path from the mountain to this side was extremely steep and was almost impossible to walk on.

If he wanted to come to the mountain side, this was the only way. It was relatively safer.

Thinking about this, I frowned and looked at the road up the mountain. I was still hesitating.

The road is too rough, and I just know it's a road I've never been on.

Such a perilous path, just for a false clue, I was debating whether to go up or not.

After all, I am still unable to confirm what exactly is happening on this half of the mountain. All I can think of to look at is only guessing.

Actually, I had already decided to head up to take a look. However, when I arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw the frightening path before me, I became a little hesitant.

However, after hesitating for a moment, I clenched my teeth. Since I had already thought of it, I had already reached the foot of the mountain. If I didn't go up, I was afraid that I wouldn't be willing to give up no matter what.

I turned around and said to Lingling:

”Lingling, can you go back alone first? This mountain road is too dangerous, big sister won't be able to carry you. ”

Lingling naturally understood what I mean. It's already very risky for me to take this path, but if I were to bring Lingling along, the risk would increase greatly.

She obediently nodded her head. With a bit of worry in her eyes, she said,

”Elder sister, you must be careful. Come back early.”

I nodded my head with a smile before sighing and heading up the mountain.

The mountain road was full of gravel. Although he had been very careful along the way, he still couldn't avoid a few stumbles.

Furthermore, dangerous mountain roads like this were many times more tiring than normal mountain roads, whether it was in terms of energy or physical strength.

I don't know how long I climbed for, but my body was almost unable to hold on. Also, there were quite a few bruises and bruises on my body.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. It was fortunate that I hadn't suffered any injuries recently. The injuries that my foster father sustained when he died had pretty much recovered.

At this moment, the hardest part of the journey was finally over. Further up was a forest, and there were no more stones.

But the woods were darker than the ones below, and gave the same feeling as we had that day in the birch grove.

My heart was in my throat. I still remembered the last time I was in the birch forest.

No matter what, he couldn't afford to be reckless this time. He had to carefully observe his surroundings …

This forest was very dense and gloomy. Coupled with the moisture on the ground, it gave people the feeling that they would never see the light of the sun.

The strangest thing was that the forest was simply too quiet. There was no wind nor was there the sound of birds or insects.

In this huge forest, I could only hear my breathing and the sound of footsteps.

This strange silence made my entire body feel uncomfortable. Especially in such a big place like this, it gave me a deep sense of fear.

I tried my best to calm down, but whether it was from exhaustion or anxiety, I didn't know. Sweat kept flowing down my forehead.

After walking for a long time, I suddenly saw a gigantic stone tablet. On the stone tablet, two big words were written on it —

Soul Summoning.
