System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 307: Frozen Time

The three of them looked at the group of people rushing in, each of them looking ferocious. Chu Lingxian walked to the young man lying on the stretcher and checked his injuries.

The boy was probably in his early twenties, with one hand wrapped in a bandage and the other covering his chest. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, there was a dense layer of sweat on his forehead, his lips were purple, and the tips of his fingers were also purple. Was he poisoned?

As for the chest where his hands were covering, there was a large amount of blood, which should be the most serious injury. When everyone was busy looking for them, Chu Lingxian moved the boy's hands slightly and took a closer look at the injuries. There were three deep blood marks, which should have been scratched by the claws of some beast. There were also some other small scars on the body, especially on the wrists, which had some scars like ant bites.

Chu Lingxian pointed outside, and before the blood moon came out, the three of them walked outside. Chu Lingxian also told them about the boy's injuries.

"His chest was scratched by a wild animal, leaving three deep bloody scratches. There were ant bite marks on his wrists and ankles, but no snake bite marks on his body. His lips and fingers were purple, so he must have been poisoned, and the poison should be the toxin from the ants. However, there were some other small wounds that could not be explained for the time being. The most important thing is that he had a strong floral scent on him."

Li Jinjia and Lu Nanyin also said: "I smelled it too. It was as if the fragrance of the flowers had been on him for a long time and could not be dissipated for a while."

The villagers couldn't find them, so they had to carry the injured boy away while cursing. The village chief and a few stronger young men stayed at the end. They said they would escort everyone, but they turned around and went up the mountain. No one knew where they went.

The three of them held the door open again, squatted in the corner, and watched the moon slowly rise. However, it was not a blood moon, but a waxing moon, hanging in the sky like a fully drawn bow, emitting bright moonlight.

There was no scent of flowers in the air anymore. They ate a simple meal and then sat together quietly. They gradually became sleepy. The only sounds around them were the humming of insects and the occasional chirping of birds.

Lu Nanyin leaned on Chu Lingxian's shoulder and asked her if she felt any discomfort.

Chu Lingxian shook his head: "I don't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, I feel that my body's fatigue is recovering."

"Me too, I'm a little sleepy."

"Let's sleep for a while."

"it is good."

The three of them leaned against the wall and fell asleep in a daze. When they woke up the next day, the sun had already risen. They didn't expect that last night would be so calm.

Li Jinjia woke up, stretched, yawned, stood up slowly, and moved around a few times.

Chu Lingxian had woken up a long time ago and was now standing outside the warehouse, looking towards the mountain, wondering whether he should go and take a look.

Lu Nanyin also woke up slowly, her eyes still a little dazed. She looked at the scene in front of her, rubbed her sleepy eyes, stood up with the help of the wall, and tried to open her eyes wide.

Chu Lingxian walked in and looked at the two of them. "Should we go up the mountain again? This time, let's find a cave first, and then we can go into the forest."

Li Jinjia: "I'm fine."

Lu Nanyin: "Okay, let's take a look at where that plant was transplanted from."

The three of them packed up and headed up the mountain. This time they did not take the same road they took yesterday, but took a slightly more remote road. They did not want to attract attention. Moreover, they had not explained the matter yet, and they were afraid that the villagers would rush over to catch them as soon as they saw them.

Because they took a different route this time, they quickly found the location of the flower they discovered yesterday. The small hole left by the digging was still there, but the surrounding soil was still wet and didn't look like it had dried up at all.

Moreover, since the three of them entered the forest, they felt that everything around them was quiet. It was not like this when they came here yesterday.

The three of them walked in another direction, deeper into the forest, following the footprints they had found into the forest.

Li Jinjia suddenly pointed at a bird in front of him and asked tremblingly, "What's going on? Is that bird suspended in mid-air?"

The two looked towards the bird. It was real. The bird flapped its wings and left the branch, but it seemed to be frozen in place in the air, motionless.

The three of them looked at the grass, insects and other things around them. They were all motionless. The entire forest was like this. The wind stopped blowing, the water stopped flowing, and everything was frozen, stopping in place, maintaining the dynamic posture at that time.

The three of them looked at each other, none of them understood what was going on.

"Should we go deeper?"

"Go and have a look."

"Okay, let's go."

The three continued to walk deeper into the forest. Along the way, they saw many birds suspended in the air and flying insects. Even the sun in the sky did not move at all for such a long time.

Lu Nanyin looked down the mountain, feeling a little uneasy. "Time has stopped here, but what about down there? If time hasn't stopped, then if we don't manage the time well when we go down the mountain, what should we do if the moon comes out as soon as we get down the mountain?"

"That makes sense, but we don't know whether time has stopped down there. What if time has also stopped down there?"

Chu Lingxian looked at the time. If the time was normal, it should be noon now. "How about this, we go up and down the mountain according to the normal time. If the time down the mountain is normal, we won't suffer any loss. If the time down the mountain is also stagnant, we still have plenty of time to come back."

"Ok."

The three continued walking, and suddenly they heard another strange sound that they had never heard before. The sound sounded like a baby crying, a young girl weeping, and an old man sighing. In the end, it turned into a bloody scream.

The three of them felt a chill down their spines after hearing this and hesitated whether to continue walking.

Finally, they heard the sound of flowing water in a stream. They walked towards the direction of the sound and saw a stream about four or five meters wide. The water in the stream was still flowing as usual, but they couldn't see the bottom of the river. It should be a crack in the earth's crust.

Slowly, the color of the river water became darker and darker, gradually turning into blood red, and finally turning black.

The cruel sound came from this small river.

Li Jinjia couldn't help but sigh: "How many people have been buried in this creek? This sound is so mournful!"

"And the river water has turned this color. Those people probably didn't simply drown, but suffered some torture and were thrown into the river, right?"

Chu Lingxian felt the waves of the water. At this glance, she felt boundless resentment, and those shrill screams seemed to be right next to her ears.
