Gulp ~
As time passed, Chen Feng could not help but swallow. At this moment, he could even feel his palms sweating.
However, at this moment, the footsteps were getting closer to him.
It sounded like that thing had lost its target and was also probing forward!
Realizing this, Chen Feng's heart jumped even higher!
At the same time, the dagger in his hand tightened. He wanted to kill in one blow!
It was also at this moment…
Suddenly, the footsteps got closer to Chen Feng. At the same time, just as Chen Feng felt that the thing was only a meter away from him, he suddenly turned around and dashed out. The dagger in his hand slashed at the black shadow in front of him!
Swoosh!
In an instant, Chen Feng used all his strength.
However, what made him feel strange was that the figure suddenly took a step back to dodge. Chen Feng did not continue stabbing because he realized that the person who appeared in front of him was an old man?!
That's right!
Chen Feng looked over and saw that the figure was actually an old man?
However, this old man was different from ordinary old men.
Chen Feng could tell at a glance that his face was covered in wrinkles. He looked as if he would die of old age at any moment. However, his steps were unusually steady. The fact that he could dodge his assassination just now was the best evidence.
Chen Feng had been a soldier for three years. He did not believe that anyone could hide so easily.
There was something wrong with this old man!
Realizing this, Chen Feng did not let his guard down. Instead, he arched his steps and held the dagger in front of his chest like a leopard, ready to pounce at any time.
At the same time, Chen Feng gulped and could not help but ask,"Old Master, why are you following me up the mountain? Also, how did you avoid me just now?”
Upon hearing Chen Feng's question, the old man seemed to have just recovered from his shock.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he finally reacted and said,"Cough cough! Youngster, you are too rude. How dare you offend me like this?”
However, after hearing his words, Chen Feng did not put down the knife in his hand.
Because, at this moment, he had also recovered from his state of shock. After thinking about it carefully, Chen Feng realized that he had been too careless.
Why would an old man suddenly appear in such a remote forest?
Moreover, this old man could follow him up the mountain and fly arrows like a young man.
This was not because Chen Feng was being paranoid, but because he was in a tomb raiding environment, he had no choice but to think this way.
At the same time, he looked at the old man.
He seemed to have seen through Chen Feng's wariness. Then, he sighed and said,"Young man, you're thinking too much. I'm the forest ranger on this mountain. I noticed you sneaking up the mountain when I was at the foot of the mountain, so I followed you.”
"In addition, this old man has been hunting in the mountains all year round. Naturally, I have such legs. It's not strange that I can follow you up the mountain.”
"But you, what are you doing on this mountain? Are you here to hunt?"
Chen Feng only relaxed a little after hearing the old man's words.
This was true…
If it was a forest ranger on this mountain, he would have such legs to follow him all the way up the mountain.
Furthermore, Chen Feng had served in the army for three years.
Therefore, he knew that there were specialized forest rangers in each area, and the country usually selected some local elders so that they could familiarize themselves with the nearby geographical location.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng sighed in relief. Then, he put down the dagger and replied,"Old Master, you have good legs. That's right, I'm here to take a look at this mountain and hunt some wild animals.”
Chen Feng's words were an excuse he had long thought of.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the old man narrowed his eyes and said warily,"Young man, as far as I know, there are no villages on the other side of the Yellow River. Do you need to cross the Yellow River to hunt?”
"You... Are you here to rob the tomb?"
What?
Chen Feng's expression froze when he heard this.
He did not expect that the excuse he had thought of would actually be exposed.
Fortunately, Chen Feng was prepared. He took out his retirement certificate and said,"Old Master, you've misunderstood. I just returned from the army, so I wanted to look around after returning to my hometown. Also, this is my discharge certificate. Soldiers have discipline. How could I poach someone from the country?”
As he spoke, Chen Feng handed over his retirement certificate.
After reading Chen Feng's certificate, the old man nodded in relief. Then, he said to Chen Feng with an unfriendly expression,"Young man, if there's nothing else, you should hurry down the mountain. There were many wolves, tigers, and leopards in the mountains. Moreover, night came quickly in the mountains. If you didn't freeze to death at night.”
"Also, there are no tombs on this mountain. You should go back early.”
As he spoke, the old man pushed Chen Feng away and walked towards the top of the mountain not far away. Chen Feng took a closer look and realized that there was a thatched cottage at the top of the mountain.
From the looks of it, that seemed to be the old man's residence.
However, at this moment, the old man suddenly turned around and instructed Chen Feng,"Young man, hurry up and go back down the mountain. Don't think too much about things you shouldn't think about. In addition, there were other things on the mountain other than the wolves and tigers. If you encounter it, you will definitely die.”
"Go home."
What was that?
Chen Feng was stunned when he heard the old man's instructions.
What did he mean?
From the old man's words, he seemed to be saying that there was something else on this mountain.
However, in such a wild mountain, other than wild beasts, what else could there be?
Could it be a bear?
After watching the old man leave, Chen Feng finally regained his senses.
According to what he knew, this bear would usually appear in the deep mountains and forests.
And now, it was just the beginning of spring, the day when the human-bear had just come out of hibernation in the cave. If he met someone, he might really die.
After all, the Human-Bear had hibernated for three months and was at its hungriest.
At the thought of this, Chen Feng felt a little grateful to this old man who looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside. However, he was here to rob a tomb this time. He could not back down no matter how difficult it was.
