Meng Die smiled, "Then I'll marry him. What do you think?"

The little girl pouted, "Who is worthy of you, Miss? Even if Li Po can handle the maze alone, I still think it's a pity for you."

While the two were talking, a swordsman hurried over and handed the little girl a note. The little girl only glanced at it, but her eyes lit up, "Li Po is finished!"

"Fang Xuan made his move, right?" Meng Die said without turning her head, "Fang Xuan's secret technique is most suitable for acting in the morning. The first person to intercept Li Po must be him!"

The little girl said in surprise, "Miss, is there anything you don't know?"

"I don't know how Li Po will deal with Fang Xuan!" Meng Die said as if to herself, "If he lets people go, then I will be too disappointed."

While speaking, Meng Die raised her hand and said, "Activate the formation, Li Po and the others are almost here!"

While Meng Die used the formation to hide her figure, I had already followed the walking corpses dragging the coffin to a relatively open woodland. The walking corpses in front also stopped.

It was almost dawn!

The walking corpses dragging the coffin were not high-level enough to walk in the sun. As soon as it was dawn, they had to stop.

I looked up at the sky, "Niu Bao, let the walking corpses stop. Let's rest too."

Niu Bao scratched his head and said, "I don't know how to make them stop. My grandpa didn't teach me. However, these walking corpses are afraid of the rooster's crow..."

Before Niu Bao finished speaking, a rooster crowed in the woods.

"Where did that rooster crow come from?" Niu Bao shuddered.

Domestic chickens will crow, but wild chickens will not. Wild chickens that live in the deep mountains and old forests would have been eaten to extinction long ago by predators attracted by their incessant crowing at dawn.

Wild chickens only crow when they encounter danger, and their voices are different from those of domestic chickens.

However, the sound coming from the woods was clearly a domestic rooster crowing!

As soon as the rooster crowed, the eight walking corpses seemed startled. They turned around at the same time, grabbed the coffin lid with both hands, and threw themselves into the coffin, quickly closing the lid.

There was also a burst of banging and clattering in the coffin, which sounded like the walking corpses were shivering inside.

Niu Bao said in a trembling voice, "Brother Li! A rooster is crowing!"

"Have you ever heard of a mountain rooster crowing? Domestic chickens crow to call the living. Mountain chickens crow to call the dead!"

"There must be dead people hiding in places we can't see nearby. As soon as the rooster crows, they will all come out."

"Listen... listen... the rooster is crowing again."

When the rooster crowed again, a chill rose on my body.

I had never heard such a rooster crow before. The sound was like a ghost squatting in the distance calling someone's name. You couldn't listen carefully, because as soon as you listened, you felt like it was calling you.

Ye Yang quietly made a gesture to me, and I grabbed Niu Bao's wrist with my backhand, "Follow me!"

Niu Bao was so frightened that his face turned pale, "Brother Li, where are you going! Don't go where the rooster is crowing! Isn't that courting death?"

"Follow the rooster's crow, and meet old friends in the wilderness! That's what your grandpa said, don't be afraid, follow me!" I pulled Niu Bao into the woods diagonally above.

Niu Bao desperately pulled me back, "No, Brother Li, when did my grandpa say that? How come I don't know?"

I pulled Niu Bao faster and faster, "Do you understand the secret language of the coffin door?"

Niu Bao just said "I don't understand!" when I dragged him into the woods, "You don't understand, but I do. Those are the words your grandpa said to me in secret."

Niu Bao looked at the snow on the ground in the woods, reflecting the white light. He hugged a tree with one hand and refused to go any further, "Brother Li, don't go over there, that's a dead end. We'll die if we go over there. Listen to that rooster crow..."

"Brother Li! Are you being haunted by a ghost? Brother Ye... Brother Ye... please stop Brother Li, we'll really die if we go any further."

At that time, not only Niu Bao was shouting like this, but the little Meng family girl, who was standing in the distance on the mountain looking down at us, was also dumbfounded, "Miss, is this the Li Po you were talking about? This is... this is too useless! Fang Xuan only used a rooster crow to fascinate him."

"Is Li Po a young master? Doesn't he know that you can't walk on the snow over there?"

Everyone who often goes into the mountains knows that the flatter the snow, the less you can walk on it. Even in the deep mountains where people are rare.

There are no people in the mountains, but there are many wild animals. The place where even wild animals don't go can only mean that there are dangerous things under the white snow, or that the snow is too thick, and it is easy to get stuck if you step on it.

The snow on the ground in the forest where the rooster crowed was as if someone had smoothed it out with their hands, without even a trace of undulation. From a distance, it looked like a platform built on an open space in the forest.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade me no matter what, Niu Bao simply shouted at Ye Yang, "Brother Ye! Please persuade Brother Li! If you don't look at the snow, you have to look at the tree circle! That's a tree circle. We'll be finished if we go in."

There are three places in the mountains that you can't enter, and the tree circle is one of them, which is the circular open space cleared out of the forest.

Trees don't grow there, not because the soil is bad, but because something in the soil is suppressing the earth's energy. When people walk on it, it's like stepping on something's head.

The result, needless to say.
