Zheng Xiongqi sat up suddenly, and said with a panicked face: "What is that called?"

Chihiro also snuggled tightly in my arms, and her body was slightly tense.

I pricked up my ears and listened to the voices.

The sky, a full moon hangs high, and the woods are full of ghosts.

But I always felt that the howl, which resembled a wolf's howl, seemed to be called by something in the dark.

Looking at the direction where the voice came from, it was the direction in which Lao Zhou left us and went into the mountains to hunt.

The trees were so tall that they couldn't see what was going on in the distance.

Before dawn, I raised my wrist and looked at my watch, it was only past three o'clock in the morning.

Since I can't walk alone, I always have to look at it to rest assured.

There was time, and I couldn't sleep, so I simply let go of Mu Qianxun, stood up and said, "Xiongqi, you and Qianhiro are on guard below, I'll go up and take a look." ”

Mu Qianxun looked at me with some concern.

Patting her on the shoulder, I said, "It's okay, I'm in your sight, and I won't go far." ”

I don't know when Lao Zhou will come back, since we can make a fire to keep out the cold, I believe that Lao Zhou may also light a torch or make a fire, if I climb a tree, in the dark night, it is easy to find the light.

Pointing to a tall ginkgo tree not far in front of me, I grabbed a flashlight and walked towards the tree without waiting for them to answer.

Walking under the tree, this ginkgo tree is as thick as two people hugging each other.

I tried it carefully, the skin was rough and not difficult to grasp.

I secretly urged the true qi in my body, ran on all four limbs, pinned the strong flashlight on my waist, and climbed up with a few clicks.

When you get to a place where there are branches, it is much easier to climb up again.

I climbed to the bottom of three stories before I stopped.

Looking down, the fire we had made ourselves in the bushes emitted a warm yellow light, and we could see it clearly.

Zheng Xiongqi and Mu Qianxun's faces were hidden in the darkness, as if they were looking up at me.

I steadied myself, grabbed the branch above, and walked towards the tip of a thick branch.

This ginkgo tree stands out from the crowd and grows much taller than any other tree in the vicinity.

The height at which I was standing was already at sea level in the forest sea.

After walking a short distance, I pushed aside a thin branch that blocked my view, and my vision suddenly widened.

I first looked into the nearby forest, trying to find the same light source as I was beneath my feet.

But in the vast forest and sea, only the silver-white moonlight can be seen, scattered on the treetops, forming a large area of snow white.

Occasionally, a few large birds with plump wings leap on the treetops, adding a bit of smart color to the calm forest sea.

Seeing that I couldn't find another source of light, I looked up and looked farther away, in the direction the wolf horns were coming from.

I saw that between the mountains, there was a faint pillar of light, piercing the sky. Under the night sky with a deep black background, it looks so mysterious.

What was that? The pillars of light caught my eye all at once.

Visually, there are at least dozens of miles of mountain roads.

I don't know if those wolf horns are coming from that direction.

But those wonderful pillars of light caught my eye deeply.

I stood on the treetops more than ten meters high, almost forgetting my feet, staring at the pillar of light in a daze for a long time.

Until the jungle under the tree, Zheng Dashao shouted anxiously: "Brother Feng, what do you see, come down quickly." ”

I just broke free from that situation and came back to reality.

At this time, I realized that I had lost my hand holding the branch, and only my feet were still standing on the branch.

This discovery almost made me fall off.

Grabbing the branch in front of me, I began to climb down one step at a time, and after a few minutes, I finally jumped from the bottom branch to the ground.

Zheng Xiongqi came up to me and asked, "Brother Feng, what did you just see on it, it's weird and scary." So high, aren't you afraid?"

I shook my head and strode over to the fire.

Chihiro also looked at me with inquiring eyes.

I sat down on the previous stone, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Is there anything natural in this world that can form pillars of light under the night sky?"

Mu Qianxun thought for a moment and said, "Aurora, a phenomenon of refraction of light. ”

"Can it happen here?"

"No, it only appears near the poles. Mu Qianxun said.

Zheng Xiongqi heard our conversation and said suspiciously: "Brother Feng, why are you asking this? Could it be that you saw the aurora just now?"

"No," I shook my head and looked at them again.

The flickering flames cast into their eyes, causing curious flames to flicker inside.

"What I saw was a pillar of light that pierced vertically into the night sky, and it didn't wriggle like the aurora. It's something fixed on the ground, a pillar of light that emits it. But it is much smaller than the brightness of the laser lamp, and even lower than the bright background of the strong light flashlight. It's just that it should be on a grand scale. From this distance, it still looks so thick. ”

I tried to describe to them what I had just seen.

The two of them listened carefully, searching in their minds for what else in this world would emit such light.

But it was all in vain.

It's as if this kind of thing has never been seen on Earth.

All three were silent.

After a long while, Zheng Xiong asked in a low voice: "Brother Feng, did you say that Lao Zhou disappeared because of that pillar of light?" ”

I can't answer his question.

The direction in which Lao Zhou Lin walked was exactly in a straight line with the pillar of light.

Including the rickety figure that appeared outside our tent just now, it was also in that direction.

Is all this just a coincidence?

The ominous premonition in my heart burst out strongly again.

I raised my wrist and looked at my watch, and it had been more than an hour since I tossed it for so long.

The woods were still dark and dreary, with no sign of dawn.

I was anxious to wait until dawn and set out to find out.

Our guide had gone missing, but that didn't dampen my desire to move forward.

Looking at the two of them, I said in a deep voice: "Don't guess, I believe that everything that has been discovered in this world has its rationality." We don't have to guess here. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off, along this direction, but looking for Lao Zhou. If nothing else, we'll find him. Don't think about it now, get some rest. ”

Mu Qianxun and Zheng Xiongqi both nodded in unison, turned around and returned to their respective tents.

I sat by the fire for a moment, and then turned back into the tent behind me.

Lying on the sleeping bag, I took out the mobile phone in my backpack to check whether the strange pillar of light was a natural phenomenon, but I was disappointed to find that there was not even a single signal on the phone.

When I put down my phone, I felt sleepy and I fell asleep.
