C87 mountain stronghold (1/2)

”Is this the legendary mountain stronghold?”

It occurred to me that, although I had not personally experienced this building, I had read and seen it on television. In some remote mountainous areas, especially in the southern regions, villages were often built in the mountains, and walls were built around them to prevent the invasion of poisonous insects and beasts, or foreign enemies.

”It doesn't look like it, and it looks more like a coffin.”

At first, I thought that she was joking with me, but when I saw Tang Rou's expression, I could tell that it wasn't a joke because Tang Rou's expression was very serious. Moreover, she started frowning and walked around left and right, as if she wanted to observe the entire village that was being surrounded.

”Where did you see it as a coffin?”

To be honest, I really didn't see how the wall of the village looked like a coffin with a dead person inside. Instead, I felt that the wall was round like a huge pot.

”I'm not talking about this wall. Take a look at the surrounding mountains and the terrain.”

After Tang Rou said this, I immediately looked a bit further away. Following Tang Rou's movements, I walked around 20 meters back and forth. Sure enough, I found out that the mountain range around us was the village's location.

Under the moonlight, the shadows cast by the mountain range covered the entire village. Moreover, the part of the shadow looked like a huge coffin.

Even though I knew that this was just a reflection of light, an illusion, I couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

The most frightening thing was that not far away from the village was a smooth stone wall. It looked just like a tombstone.

Looking at this, my heart was already at a loss. After being in the spotlight for such a long time, my instincts were especially sensitive to these things. The enthusiasm and excitement in my heart had already largely dissipated.

”How about we just leave it at that? Let's find a hillside nearby to fend off the wind.”

Tang Rou also agreed to my suggestion. Soon after, she helplessly agreed.

It was a pity that a gust of mountain wind suddenly blew. At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky started to gather, and droplets of rain the size of soybeans started to fall.

At this moment, the two of us had completely lost our choice. We would definitely catch a cold if we stayed in this desolate place, but there was nothing to cover us.

Thus, he had no choice but to brace himself and sprint to the wall in front of him. He hoped that he could find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, even the small shacks outside the village.

But when the two of us arrived at the wall, we discovered that the entire village was surrounded by this kind of wall made of trees and rocks. There was no place to hide from the rain, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

He could only continue forward and look for the entrance to the wall.

After circling around for more than ten minutes, they finally found something similar to a gate in the southeast.

It seemed that the wall outside the village wasn't completely sealed off, and this place wasn't locked down either.

Tang Rou and I quickly moved forward and completely entered the village.
