Chapter Seventy-Six: A Strange Chewing Sound
Looking at the key in the plastic bag, this thing is a product from a civilization that has been buried, the same as the comic book in Leshan's hand.
Bai Ye asked with some curiosity: "Why are you running into the mountains so hard?"
Leshan put down the book and hesitated, but still chose not to say, and changed the topic: "Sleep, I'll keep vigil in the first half of the night." ”
After saying that, he walked outside the cave with a gun, and didn't give Bai Ye a chance to ask.
Bai Ye understands this approach very well, in other words, no one will tell anyone else about such an important matter, although he has saved this group of people, but he doesn't think that the other party will believe in him unreservedly.
At this moment, all the private soldiers in the cave had fallen asleep, and only their steady breathing could be heard in the quiet space. They seem to be very accustomed to keeping vigil for themselves, and they must be able to sleep peacefully in this environment, and they must have believed in their own commander very much.
He has developed a strong interest in this team more than once, obviously it is a private army with bad deeds, and he will steal other people's food, but why is he willing to use his body to block the damage to Leshan, and he is so willing to believe in a commander with serious suspicions?
This seemed to him to be extremely unconscionable and contradictory.
He moved his body to adjust his sleeping position, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that Xia Wei was sleeping at an angle just opposite him, and the face covered under the hat made him not sure if the other party was asleep, even if the other party's breathing was very stable, the same as falling asleep, but he felt that this woman was not so simple.
He secretly held the dagger in his hand, and felt a little more vigilant in his heart. Then he slowly adjusted his breathing to a stable state, pretending to be asleep, but in his half-squinted eyes, he suddenly found that Xia Wei also had an extra dagger in his hand!
I really haven't slept yet, and the direction of the dagger is still facing me.
Bai Ye was even wondering whether to tell Le Shan about Xia Wei's suspicions, after all, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days in this world. But he wasn't sure if this woman was a superpower, and if he really tore his face, if he couldn't beat others, he would be killed, and who would he reason with.
He closed his eyes and chose to observe for a while.
The time of night is always very slow for a person who is sleeping on a fake sleep, and the contrast white leaves without the moon cannot be sure how long it has been, but the sound of the changing of the guard has not yet been heard, and the first half of the night must have not passed.
He looked in Xia Wei's direction, but found that the other party had already stood up, holding a dagger in his hand, and his eyes were staring straight outside the cave.
Crunch!
After about half a second, a staccato sound was heard outside the cave.
Bai Ye stood up and looked out of the cave with his eyes vigilant, this sound was not a simple collision, it was more like the sound of teeth and bones rubbing when an animal was gnawing on food.
Click!
Leshan pulled the bolt of the gun and slowly retreated into the cave, calling the sleeping private army up. Among them, a private soldier yawned and was about to make a sound, but his mouth was quickly covered by Leshan.
"Shhhh
His voice was very small, and after speaking, he glanced at Bai Ye and signaled him to be careful, Bai Ye nodded and followed Le Shan to the outside of the cave.
There was no light in the dense forest, and the sound of chewing was still approaching, and the salsa of the surrounding branches could be heard.
A group of private soldiers quickly came out of the cave, and they all pulled the bolts of their guns to form a circle to protect Leshan inside, and at the same time each dipped in their own directions, in case something rushed out.
"Brother Le, could it be a wolf?"
"No, the wolves are all on our consortium's side. Le Shan shook his head: "And the current wolf is huge, and it won't just make such a small sound." ”
Bai Ye didn't expect this group of private soldiers to know that there were wolves in the wild over there, and it seemed that they knew a lot about these wolves, did that mean that Wang Ye also knew about it?
But it had nothing to do with it now, and he listened carefully to the sound of the branches being rubbed: "Unlike wild beasts, they don't make such a violent noise when they move, and they don't eat when they move. ”
Leshan: "What's that?"
I don't know why Bai Ye glanced at Xia Wei at this time, and found that the other party didn't seem to be as vigilant as at first after hearing the voice clearly, and the dagger he was holding turned to him again.
Isn't there a danger to the thing on the other side, or is it more dangerous to yourself?
He retracted his gaze: "It should be a person, but it's very strange, people walk at a very regular pace, and they don't make such a disordered sound from the branches and leaves on both sides." ”
As soon as Le Shan heard that it was a person, he was not as nervous as he was just now, he lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Which brother is in front, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to us, we have guns, and there are many people." ”
Bai Ye rolled his eyes, are you an invitation or a threat, and the technology of the threat is inevitably a little worse.
However, the sound of the opposite branch rubbing was indeed much quieter, and gradually the sound stopped at a distance of 20 meters from them, and the forest was quiet again, and they could only hear the intermittent chewing sound on the other side.
Crunch!
Even the white leaves in this dense forest can't see too far, not because his eyes are not good, but because the shelter is too dense, and the vegetation is impermeable to the wind 20 meters away, which is why they only walked three kilometers in one day.
Le Shan wanted to continue shouting when he saw that there was no reply from the other side, but he was pulled by Bai Ye, and he said in a low voice: "Don't shout again, Yanchi's large army will not be far away from us, don't let them discover our location." ”
The sound of chewing continued, and the only sound of teeth and bones grinding could be heard in the quiet woods, which sounded eerie.
Le Shan didn't dare to stay in an unknown and dangerous environment for too long, so he turned around and gave an order to the private troops around him: "I can't stay here, the secret march goes directly to the previous place to meet Wang Ye." ”
A group of private soldiers were also afraid of this unknown environment, and hurriedly followed Leshan to pull out, fortunately, they all ate a little wild fruit and got rest, otherwise at this time, someone would be left behind if they couldn't keep it in order.
To Bai Ye's surprise, Leshan distributed all his fruits to the private army, and he didn't rest, and at this moment he actually walked at the front of the team, although his steps seemed a little difficult, but he still walked very firmly.
He knew that the front was often the most dangerous position, and a person who could put himself in the most dangerous position to protect the team might be the reason why this group of people believed him.
No one can walk fast in the case of smearing, but the sound of chewing quickly disappeared in their ears, which made a group of people feel relieved, after all, no one wants to have such a strange voice around them.
However, just two hours later, this creaking sound rang in my ears again!
"Damn, Brother Le, we're being followed!" A privateer shouted in a low voice.
Le Shan didn't speak, but it was Bai Ye who spoke first, and he stared at the cave on the side with a bitter expression: "It's not that we're being followed, it's that we're lost." ”
Only then did they realize that the cave next to it was the cave they had just left, and the sound of chewing was still in that position!
"Brother Le, we shouldn't have met ghosts, right?"
Le Shan frowned, he didn't believe that such a thing existed, but this thing was indeed getting more and more weird, and his voice was slightly low: "Brother in front, it's time to show up." ”
Bai Ye didn't think that the person on the other side was a person, which person could chew something for two hours, didn't the cheeks hurt?
