  "Is there a way to break through the dead end road?" Long Ye naturally had heard of such things, Luo Men had not encountered such a vicious situation for several generations, and the method had long been lost. Only some ancient pits were left behind.

  Zha Wenbin smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, probably Dragon Ye also understands its difficulties, now we can't go back completely."

  Why can't we go back? Cha Wenbin continued, "The Broken Head Road was not originally referring to the road ahead being broken and having no way to walk. It meant that if you walked forward on this road, your head would be chopped off. I've heard that once you encounter this formation, you also cannot retreat. In such a short distance, I don't have any confidence that they won't see us. Don't believe me? Each of you can feel your own neck and see if there's anything unusual."

  What's wrong? I didn't think there was anything, but after he reminded me like this, I felt a bit itchy on my neck. I thought maybe it was just psychological suggestion, because when I looked at other people's necks, they were all smooth and had nothing on them. So I wanted to reach out and scratch the itch, but then I heard him shout: "Don't move your hands, don't move your feet, don't retreat any further, or you'll lose your head!"

  "This guy is talking more and more nonsense: 'Alright Wenbin, you're starting to joke around too, my head is right here, go ahead and call it over!'"

  "Yeh Qiu shouted: 'There's a wire around your necks, don't move recklessly!'"

  I didn't feel like there was a rope around my neck, nor did I see anyone else with a rope around their neck. The two of them were singing and harmonizing together, and I didn't dare move at all. At that moment, I had no right to speak, and it made me feel very anxious in my heart.

  "Don't move, don't move!" Cha Wenbin whispered to Ye Qiu: "We're close enough now, stretch out your hand and you can touch it. Can you see what it is?" As he spoke, he also tried his best to keep his neck still, and there was an unexpected tacit understanding between the two men.

  Ye Qiu looked at Cha Wenbin calmly and said, "A web-like transparent thread wrapped around twice, try burning it with fire, don't move, burn me first, in case something goes wrong, you can still escape."

  "It can't be that exaggerated, right?" My voice had already started to lower, a spider web, this is common in rural areas, every corner has one, but Ye Qiu is a steady man, he won't easily exaggerate any danger, if he said it, then it's really dangerous.

  "Go ahead and burn it." Cha Wenbin smiled faintly and said, "I trust you, come on!"

  "No, I'm more confident than you." Ye Qiu's tone was equally firm.

  "Alright, you two stop arguing." Longye now held a waterproof match in his hand, looking at the two young people not far away, and all he saw were memories of being with his brothers. Over the years, some of them had died, some were disabled, and in the end, only a few had achieved their goals. For the sake of a so-called mission, he had sacrificed too much already, this time he decided to be the pioneer himself.

  The match flashed, and Long Ye looked at the flickering flame and said softly: "I have a request. If I die, please bury my ashes with them."

  This man's temples were already slightly gray, but his age was not actually that great, perhaps younger than my parents' generation. This person held a high position, with unimaginable power and status, yet the trembling whiskers at the corners of his mouth and his slowly closing eyes made me feel as if the moment he raised the match to his neck was incredibly relaxed, even his mouth corners slightly curled up.

  "Rustle" again, a sound rang out. I saw a small flame stuck to his neck, and with a "splat", my own neck trembled slightly. Then Dragon Lord yelled: "You guys run fast, they're charging at me!"

  I didn't understand what was happening, all I heard were the "whooshing" sounds coming from all directions, and then several large black dots flew over from all sides. By the time I saw clearly, Dragon's face had been covered by a plate-sized, multicolored spider. Not just one, it seemed like there were more spiders, on his head, neck, shoulders, big and small spiders came flying in from all directions as if they could fly, and in an instant, he fell to the ground convulsing uncontrollably.

  "Run!" Zhang Wenbin yelled, taking advantage of the spiders still attacking the fallen Dragon Lord. The two of them used fire to burn off the threads wrapped around their necks and pulled me along as they ran inside. I didn't have time to look at how many headless corpses were hanging on either side, but the spiders kept pouring out from the broken necks of the corpses. This was apparently their lair.

  Spiders have six eyes, but they rely on their webs. As soon as prey touches them, they launch a swift attack. I've never seen such ferocious insects, just like that big toad, everything here has changed, whether it's size or temperament. Longwang's feet were still treading, the friction sound of mud and shoes seemed to be his last answer, just as he thought, these years, he was really tired, he wanted to see his old buddies.

  Perhaps what he did wasn't that glorious, but he was indeed a man, a man who could truly shoulder responsibility. Maybe, when I looked back, all I saw was an empty shell, my tears streaming down my face, I didn't look back, I just kept running forward, letting the tears blur the road ahead.

  Also don't know how long we ran, roughly is tired can't run, one by one all sat on the ground, we looked at each other but again each silent. Men, forever are that kind of silence, pain in heart but mouth won't open. We all understand, Dragon will not come back again, that somewhat handsome, somewhat melancholy, still some big brother flavor man just went like this, left road can only be us ourselves go down.

  "Ye Qiu, remember you promised to take him with you." This was the first time Cha Wenbin made a request of him, and the man simply replied lightly: "Alright!"

  This is a very miserable scene, I don't want to recall it again. Now it can be confirmed that the current situation is undoubtedly a grave path. The stone walls on both sides are polished and smooth, and every five meters or so, there will be a cylindrical object similar to a candelabra. These candelabras all have a thick layer of oil, also indicating that they have been extinguished for many years. I am not an atheist, walking here feels like being in hell, and just ten steps ahead of us, there is a stone gate that has already been opened, which completely exceeded expectations.

  "Has someone gotten in ahead of us?" I exclaimed in surprise: "Impossible! With such a tight mechanism, how could anyone still be alive after entering?"

  "How do you know it's not another trap? Do you still remember that big temple in your village, where we almost went to see the Three Pure Ones?"

  The three of us were still hesitating when we suddenly heard a knocking sound, the kind that occurs when stones collide with each other. "Dong, dong, dong" came very suddenly. The sound was not far away and quickly locked onto the stone gate, seeming to come from inside. Just as Ye Qiu was about to move, Cha Wenbin grabbed him and said: "Don't be impulsive, we can't afford to make another mistake."

  "Haha!" I suddenly heard a loud and clear laughter, this voice was so familiar, it was Fatso!

  "Fatty, is that you?" I shouted towards the stone gate. Sure enough, a fellow with two black stones in his hands poked out half of his head from behind the door and said: "Old Master Zhang is indeed very patient! I've been waiting for you guys for a long time! You've finally come to find me!"

  "This tone, this voice isn't fatty or who? I excitedly shouted: 'Damn it, you dog day, you're really still alive?'"

  "The old man is living a comfortable life, if it weren't for those insects at the door, I would have gone home long ago!" The fat man waved his hand and said: "What are you standing there for? Do you want me to invite you? Welcome back home, I guarantee you will be amazed!"

  To be honest, if it were in the past, I would have rushed over without hesitation. But once bitten by a snake, for ten years one fears the rope used to draw water from a well. We did come to find Fatso, but you want me to believe that he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was so unreasonable? Having experienced many strange things with them, I've become calm about it. Seeing that Cha Wenbin and Ye Qiu didn't move, I stood still as well.

  "Who are you?" The fat man was puzzled, "What do you guys mean?"

  Zha Wenbin gave me a look, and I understood what he meant. So I shouted at him: "Fatty, I suddenly remembered something. When we were sent to the countryside as educated youth in Yeren Village, you stole someone's eggs to eat and were bitten by the dog of the village head. I've forgotten whether it was your left or right leg that got bitten."

  "Left leg, ah, his mother's memory you still remember this thing haha!" Fatzi's response was so natural, so imperceptible, but my 56 had already risen. "Ka" sound, the bullet was loaded, although the person in front of me, whether it was his expression or language, was very consistent with Fatzi.

  "I said coldly: 'Really? I seem to remember it was on the right side, what are you anyway?'"

  The fat guy opposite me was also stunned, he looked at me holding the gun and aiming at him, hurriedly touched his nose and said: "Look at my memory." He bent down to roll up his right pant leg and said: "I forgot, yes, yes, it's on the right side, no mistake, it's on the right side." He kept searching on his own leg, trying to find that spot for me to see, but by then my gun was already aimed at his head.

  "Didn't you also find that there's nothing on my right leg?" I coldly snorted, "I don't care if you're human or ghost, but impersonating my friend is a capital offense. The fact is that even the dog guarding the courtyard was dragged out by you to be served as a side dish with wine. If you dare move again, I guarantee I'll blow your brains out with one shot!"
