The dark night in the mountains and forests is as if a large vat of ink has been poured into it, and the darkness is so thick that it makes people feel suffocated.

Without the cover of the hustle and bustle of the rain, the roars of those fierce beasts that gradually sounded as the night deepened could no longer be hidden. From time to time, he was swept by the sound of the wind, blown into the tree hole, and into Shen Muzhi's ears, which made him frightened.

It seems that those rumors are still credible. In this mountain, there are indeed many fierce beasts!

Shen Muzhi, who was once again awakened by the roar of the beast, muttered with a wry smile. Then he took the saber that had rested aside and placed it across his knee, just in case.

Then he touched his waist and chest again, and confirmed the location of the remaining talismans and wind thunderballs.

When he had done this, he leaned against the wall of the hollow, closed his eyes, and watched for movement around him as he recuperated.

Those guys didn't come out last night to make trouble, maybe because of the heavy rain. But now that the rain has stopped, listening to the roars one after another, it may not be too peaceful tonight.

Time is dragged by the sticky night, flowing slowly.

Shen Muzhi didn't dare to sleep soundly, holding the saber in his right hand, resting lightly on his knees, ready to attack at any time.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the wind outside the mountain seemed to be a little lighter, and there was no whimpering sound.

The terrifying roars gradually subsided.

The night seems to be about to pass in danger......

At this moment, outside the tree hole, there was a sudden sound of rustling, very soft, not far away.

Shen Muzhi, who was a little dazed and sleepy, woke up in an instant, clenched his saber, leaned on the wall of the tree hole, and cautiously looked out.

In the darkness, there was nothing.

Shen Muzhi looked around carefully, and after finding nothing abnormal, he slowly retracted his body back into the tree hole. He didn't dare to be completely relieved, so he listened with his ears pricked up for a while, but there was still no movement.

The heart that has been carrying it has gradually let go.

Probably the leaves are falling, or there are small things like rats. Shen Muyi closed his eyes while thinking. In a few moments, it will be dawn......

Shen Muzhi, who was about to take advantage of the calm before dawn, took a nap, suddenly his heart jumped, and a strong feeling of uneasiness emerged.

Shen Muzhi felt that something was wrong, and immediately opened his eyes. I saw a pair of green eyes, staring at myself at the entrance of the tree hole.

The cold and bloodthirsty gaze made Shen Muzhi feel like falling into an ice cellar in an instant.

The darkness in the mountains and forests is particularly thick, although both martial artists and mountain monks have a certain night vision function, but at this moment, Shen Muzhi can only vaguely glance at the general outline.

This guy seems to be a snake, a giant snake.

The head looked a few points bigger than his head, and it was estimated that it could swallow him whole in one bite.

Shen Muzhi sat in the tree hollow, and he didn't dare to move at all, not even the atmosphere. The right hand holding the saber trembled slightly, and the palm of the hand was already full of sweat.

The hole in the tree is not big, and the space inside is only enough for him to sit in it, and he can't stretch a little if he wants to. The hole was smaller, and the guy's head was half in the way. So, he had nowhere to hide. If you really want to do it, there is only one way to fight to the death.

However, when he opened his eyes, it did not move, just stared at him at the entrance of the cave.

As if looking at his size, or considering whether if he swallowed his prey in one gulp, he would accidentally break a few of its teeth.

In short, it didn't move.

It didn't move, and Shen Muzhi didn't move. That's it, the big-eyed staring is about half a pillar of incense. Then, the big guy suddenly turned his head and disappeared into the hole.

Shen Muzhi became more and more nervous, the saber in his hand quietly left his knees, his body slowly leaned forward a little, and then quickly retracted, what if that guy was waiting for him near the entrance of the cave at the moment to poke his head out?

There's not a lot of space in this tree hole, and it's hard for him to use it, and the same is true for that guy. Perhaps, that's why it had been standing still before, and now suddenly disappeared, probably hiding nearby, luring him out.

There is a lot of space outside, whether it is to fight or escape, there are more possibilities, but it is too dark outside, his vision is blocked, one is in the light, the other is in the dark, and he has no advantage.

What's more, as the old saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons. This kind of extraordinary, big snake, may have become a demon.

In the stories that Uncle Lian told at the beginning, there were not only gods on the mountain, but also demons and monsters. Now that the gods on the mountain have been confirmed, those demons and monsters may also exist.

Shen Muzhi, who was not sure, thought about it, and decided to stay in this tree hole for the time being and wait and see what happened.

Time passed slowly, and gradually, the sky outside began to brighten.

A faint light of heaven leaked through the tangled branches, dispelling the sticky darkness of the forest.

The big snake never reappeared, and there was no movement around, Shen Muzhi, who was worried in his heart, hesitated for a while, picked up the saber, dug a piece of wood from the wall of the tree hole, and then threw it out.

The wood clattered and landed on the ground not far away.

Shen Muzhi pricked up his ears and listened to the surrounding movements, but he didn't find anything.

Only then did he slowly lean out, turning his head to look around, and there was no trace of the big snake around him.

Shen Muzhi, who had escaped, breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but wonder. This big guy, didn't he think he was delicious, so he didn't eat him?

Or is this guy inspired and knows that he might not be that easy to deal with?

Or maybe this guy isn't hungry?

However, no matter what the reason, after being patronized by this big guy for a while, he didn't dare to continue to live in this tree hole.

Who knows if this big snake will 'take care of the thatched house again'!

While thinking about this, Shen Muyi moved his hands and feet, and checked the large and small wounds on his body. The wound medicine given by Brother He Xian was really good, except for the two or three particularly deep wounds, the rest of the wounds had already scabbed over after a day and a night's rest. Those big wounds, although they haven't completely scabbed yet, seem to be recovering well, as long as you are careful and don't tear again, you should be able to scab over tomorrow!

After doing this, he turned back and went to the hollow of the tree to get his saber, and tucked the remaining half of the soldier's uniform into his waist, and then, turning around, was about to look around, picking a direction he liked to leave, when he looked up, but saw a touch of white, appearing on a tree not far in front of him.

The long hem of the garment danced softly with the breeze passing through the mountains.

Shen Muzhi froze in place, his scalp numb.

Is this a man or a ghost?

When did it appear?

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the wind and thunderball hidden in his waist, but as soon as he moved his hand, he saw the white, floating down from the tree, like a wisp of wind, but more like a ghost, in the blink of an eye, he came to him.

Before Shen Muzhi could even react, a slender finger suddenly lightly touched his eyebrows. There was no sword and sword, and there was no blood, just such a finger, just lightly pressed against his eyebrows, and then ......

He couldn't move.

Except for the thoughts that are one's own, everything else is no longer under one's control, just like a soul, encased in a clay sculpture.

The jade pendant given by Brother He Xian was on his chest, but he didn't react at this time.

Horror bloomed like fireworks in Shen Muzhi's eyes, and even his breath trembled.

This kind of means, if you kill him, you can crush an ant.
