Chapter 345 The Place Where the Coffin is Placed

After Zang Nian walked over, his subordinates immediately reported to him the reason for attracting the man-eating ants.

Zang Nian just responded and sat under a big tree, regulating his breathing quietly.

His men were guarding not far away. After the incident with the man-eating ants, they were now nervously watching the movements around them, and they would open their eyes wide to look at the slightest movement.

In the distant mountains and forests, the howling of wolves had long since died down. However, the occasional roars of other wild animals could be heard from other directions, both near and far. Tonight was particularly restless.

Si He leaned against a tree, closed her eyes and rested, but a faint evil aura emanated from her body.

A gray-black aura lingered around her, not obvious in the dark night. The strange and cold aura made people feel terrified.

When people not far away sensed this terrifying aura, they all looked towards her. Even Zang Nian looked at her deeply for a while before continuing to regulate his breathing.

As the night deepened, people began to escape from the surrounding mountains and forests one after another, all of them in a very miserable state. However, only a few of them returned. Most of them did not come back, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

Zhao Laoxie also returned with his men. His men also suffered heavy casualties. The dead and injured were either killed by man-eating ants or by wolves. Some of them were bitten by poisonous insects in the forest and died of poisoning.

It was only the first day in the mountains, and nearly half of the people had died. Zhao Laoxie's heart was bleeding.

After returning, many people were in a low mood, some even frightened.

Everyone gathered together and took turns to keep watch. Among all the people, only Cheng Zang Nian and Si He had calm expressions and sat with their eyes closed.

Time passed little by little. Fortunately, no accidents happened in the second half of the night. As dawn was approaching, they relaxed a little.

Helian Jie and others also came back at this time, but there were not many of them. Those who did not come back either got lost or had an accident. In short, they did not look very good, and only one-third of their number was left.

Lu Song and the people from the other two forces had not returned yet. Zang Nian planned to wait for half a day. If they still didn't come back after half a day, he would set off immediately.

When it got light, Si He said to Zang Nian, "Put the coffin in place first."

Naturally, everyone had no objection to this, after all, it was too cumbersome.

So she took the coffin bearers and walked deeper into the woods.

Not long after they left, Zang Nian sent more people to follow them from a distance. Everyone was not surprised by this. They even sent some people to provide "protection".

Si He rode a horse and walked in front to lead the way. She had not originally planned to put the coffin here, but now the situation has changed. If she did not place the coffin in advance, there might be no one to carry it for her later.

However, there is a good place nearby where the coffin can be placed safely and will not be easily disturbed in the future.

They all thought that the coffin was used to bury Ning Ji's ashes and burial objects, but in fact, that was not entirely the case. The coffin was also left for her.

Refining bones and searching for souls, although this secret method may be really useful, now is not the time.

She didn't want to have intermittent sleep in the future, that would be too terrible.

She wanted to fall asleep early and get enough sleep, hoping to stay awake longer in the future.

However, the prerequisite is that the place where you sleep must be safe.

The deeper you go into the dense forest, the more eerie and terrifying the road ahead seems, and the light becomes very dim.

The woods were surrounded by endless high mountains, and the road was difficult to walk on, which made the people carrying the coffin very tired.

Fortunately, there was no body in the coffin, only some wine jars and bundles, so it was not so taboo. We could stop and rest occasionally before continuing on our way.

Compared with their fear of the forest, being tired was secondary. They were afraid of encountering man-eating ants or other poisonous insects and beasts. Fortunately, they had a safe journey.

The group walked in the dark forest for nearly an hour before arriving at the place designated by Si He.

Si He got off the horse and tied it to a tree trunk. There was a steep cliff in front of them.

This was a place we had found when we were looking for the Dragon Spirit Flower with Ning Ji.

In the cliff ahead, there is a rather special cave. The entrance of the cave is in the cliff, and there is a huge protruding rock outside the cave, like a small platform.

This place is quite secluded and ordinary people can't find it.

"Hang the coffin down the cliff."

Si He then spoke and gave instructions to the people carrying the coffin.

When everyone heard this, they looked very strange. They didn't understand why she wanted to place the coffin in such a place.

However, no one questioned it and just followed orders.

After putting down the coffin, they walked to the edge of the cliff and took a look. Just one look was enough to make people terrified.

There was fog at the bottom of the cliff, making it hazy, but they all knew that it was definitely terrifyingly deep.

Si He asked them to go to the designated location and slowly lower the coffin.

They had no choice but to do as they were told. Only then did they understand why they were asked to bring so many ropes before coming.

The cliff is so deep, if there is not enough rope, how can we lower the coffin down?

The coffin bearers tied up the coffin according to her request, extended the rope, and then slowly lowered the coffin onto the cliff at the designated location.

The other end of the rope was tied to a big tree not far away. They loosened the rope little by little with great effort.

The people who were spying in the woods in the distance were also very puzzled. They didn't understand why Si He placed the coffin in such a place, but seeing her calm demeanor, they knew that there might be another mystery under the cliff.

After a long time, the coffin was hung on the cliff at a depth of several dozen meters. Seeing that the rope was about to reach the end, the person pulling the rope suddenly felt that the other end of the rope suddenly loosened, and the coffin had reached the bottom!

This seemingly bottomless cliff is indeed different.

"Which four are better? Follow me down."

Si He looked at them, and after saying this, she grabbed one of the ropes and jumped off the cliff.

The people on the cliff watched her jump down with their eyes wide open. They swallowed and finally, four people came out, grabbed the rope, and slowly climbed down.

The rest of the people stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down cautiously. Due to the thick fog at the bottom of the cliff, their figures could not be seen after a few meters. They could only see the rope above moving slightly and the occasional sound of small rocks falling.

At this time, Si He was standing on a protruding rock on the cliff, and the coffin fell slightly to the side, next to the entrance of the cave.

It was also foggy here, and the vision was not very clear. When the four people came down, they could only vaguely see the outline of the coffin and her figure. The field of vision was only within a few meters, and the distance was very blurry.

"Carry the coffin into the cave."

After hearing her words, they looked closely to the side and noticed that there was a dark cave not far away. For some reason, it felt creepy.
