Chapter 105: The Phantom by the Lake
The audience applauded. The performance of the two in the audience is perfect, it can be called a perfect match! Even if there are no brilliant lights and no more accompaniment, it is difficult to hide its wonderful!
"Lin Ruyue!" "Long Chengyu!"
The audience didn't know who shouted, which immediately caused a response from everyone, and everyone shouted the names of the two people in unison. Someone coaxed the two of them to do another song.
Zeng Yanfei and Liang Wenhao came on the field to appease them for a long time, and everyone gradually calmed down. The next performance continued, but everyone was still immersed in the artistic conception of Lin Ruyue and Long Chengyu's performance, and they didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all. Especially in the first show after Long Chengyu's performance, everyone even had the urge to knock the performers off the stage.
Because of the influence of this emotion, everyone is no longer so involved in watching the later performances. It wasn't until the final group dance that everyone's enthusiasm was reactivated.
What makes many slings jealous is that Lin Ruyue has always been by Long Chengyu's side in the group dance, and once there is any action of holding hands and dancing together, even if it is just a gesture of looking at each other, she only identifies Long Chengyu as a dance partner and only interacts with him.
Towards the end of the night, the bonfires end. Because it was already early autumn and it was by the lake, the weather was already slightly cool. The girls, who had been thinly dressed during the day, had retreated into their tents.
A few able-bodied boys wanted to swim in the lake because they had been too crazy before, but they were persuaded by the teachers in charge of security, and finally wiped off the bath by the lake.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, although Long Chengyu also climbed into the tent, but he was not in a hurry to sleep, he planned to cultivate in the tent first, and after everyone fell asleep, he would change to a place where the aura of heaven and earth was more abundant. However, as soon as he settled down, a feeling of being watched suddenly rose.
Long Chengyu suddenly opened his eyes, trying to find the source of that sense of peeping, and the feeling of being peeping suddenly disappeared. To be precise, this sense of peeping should not be directly aimed at Long Chengyu, so Long Chengyu did not sense it, only a trace of intuition.
But Long Chengyu trusted his instincts, and secretly became vigilant in his heart, quietly walked out of the tent, and sneaked into the nearby trees to watch. With the concealment and reconnaissance methods of the Dragon Soul Warrior in his previous life, he believed that as long as the other party showed up, he could detect it as soon as possible.
Since he was able to peek in the dark without allowing himself to immediately notice the stalking, Long Chengyu thought that this must be a master. Even if he is not a real martial artist, he must be a specially trained person.
How could such a person appear near this remote artificial lake? What was the purpose of his coming to snoop? Long Chengyu felt very puzzled.
The lake was still silent, and in the middle of the night, even the chirping of insects and birds could barely be heard. Long Chengyu waited for more than half an hour, but there was nothing unusual.
"Could it be that the other party just happened to pass by, and now he has gone far?" Long Chengyu couldn't help but be a little suspicious. If there is no trace of the other party, Long Chengyu plans to walk around the lake by himself to see if he can find a strange place with a strong aura of heaven and earth.
Jamites had brought in a lot of beer on his own. During the bonfire, he was enjoying the show and drinking at the same time, so that he didn't lie down for long now before he got up to pee again.
To avoid being seen, he walked into a bush by the lake. It's far from where the tent is pitched, and it's sheltered by shrubs, so you won't make any movement and won't be noticed.
Jamites was originally very comfortable, but he was only halfway through, and he didn't know why a chill suddenly rose in his back. When he looked back with a feeling, he didn't see anything, only what seemed to be something flashing in the distance.
Because of the speed, Jamites suspected that he had a bad vision at night, and he was dazzled, so he didn't go to his heart, and after peeing, he went back to sleep. He didn't know that he had already walked to the ghost gate just now.
Long Chengyu could see it clearly. Just as Jamitus was at ease, a thin black figure sneakily touched it, raising the dagger in his hand to Jamitus's detriment.
Fortunately, Long Chengyu decided that this was the figure of a secret peeping, and when the person appeared, he quietly followed. When the black figure was about to make a move, he turned around and saw Long Chengyu with a feeling, and was so frightened that he didn't care about hurting people, and fled directly into the distance.
Of course, Long Chengyu would not let him go, and after seeing that Termites was fine, he chased after the figure. The figure that Jamites saw flashed was actually Long Chengyu's back.
The dark shadow was alert, moved quickly, and seemed to be familiar with the terrain. Although Long Chengyu ran hard, he chased a long distance, but he couldn't close the distance with the figure. After chasing into a miscellaneous forest, he even lost the other party.
The woods are dimly lit, especially at night, and it is not easy to find them. Long Chengyu could only slow down and grope for tracking. After walking out of the woods, Long Chengyu knew that he had completely lost the other party.
Just as he was about to return to the tent along the road, Long Chengyu felt that the aura of heaven and earth here seemed to be much stronger than that of the lake before. Long Chengyu couldn't help but stop, sensing the aura of heaven and earth, and walked towards the right front.
After turning a corner, by the faint moonlight, I saw a grass hut in front of me, although it was relatively simple, but it was built by the mountains and rivers, and it also had a unique flavor.
Long Chengyu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, there is no village in front of this place, and there is no shop in the back, who will build a thatched hut here? If it is said to be used to rest, but this place is barren and there is no road, who will run here to rest?
"Could it be the residence of the mysterious black shadow man before?" The strange grass hut made Long Chengyu think of the black shadow man he was tracking just now. He decided that no matter what, he would also go over and explore the truth and talk about it.
If the shadow man is there, just take him down for interrogation. If it weren't for the black shadow man, he couldn't find the owner of the grass hut, so he happened to practice in the grass hut for one night.
Because the Black Shadow Man may be nearby, Long Chengyu walked very carefully. When he was about to approach the grass house, he suddenly heard a strange sound of "sizzle, sizzle" in the grass in front of him, and Long Chengyu couldn't help but become more and more alert.
Vigilantly walked into the grass, and before he could see the situation inside, he saw a black shadow "whoosh" towards him, and it was a black and white snake the size of three fingers!
Fortunately, Long Chengyu was prepared, and with a move of his right hand, he pinched the snake's seven inches, and then threw the snake on a stone on the ground, and the snake's head was smashed to pieces, and the snake's body was still squirming tenaciously.
"Is it the same snake that bit Concubine Zeng Yan before, or is it just a coincidence?" Looking at the silver krait struggling on the ground, Long Chengyu couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
If it was really the same silver krait, then Long Chengyu must have been deliberately guided by someone, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence, this snake just ran to the lake so far away to bite Concubine Zeng Yan.
Thinking of this layer, Long Chengyu's eyes looking at the grass house were more jealous. Could it be that this silver snake is guarding the grass for the owner of the grass hut?
Even so, Long Chengyu had no idea of backing down. If all this is true, then the owner of this thatched hut is definitely a traitor.
Long Chengyu decided to meet him for a while. Of course, for the sake of caution, Long Chengyu was not reckless, but approached the grass house more carefully.
The people in the house seemed to be confident in their own krait and did not come out to visit. Long Chengyu carefully pushed open the simple door of the grass hut and found that there was no one inside, only the hay piled up into a simple sleeping block, and a few simple cooking utensils.
"There are cooking utensils, there are sleeping utensils, this should be the posture of long-term residence, but what about people? Could it be that I was alarmed and left?" Long Chengyu searched inside and outside the grass hut, but there was still no one to see.
In addition to the road from which he came, on the other side of the thatched hut, there was a road that was not obvious and was stepped out of the grass. Long Chengyu speculated that it should be a place leading to another activity of the owner of the grass hut, and decided to take a look.
After walking not far from the stampede, I vaguely saw a fire coming from ahead. Following the light of the fire, he soon came to a clearing. The light of the fire came from the edge of the clearing.
When you look closely, you don't see an open space in front of you, because there are still a few trees in the middle of the clearing, and a net has been laid in each of the four directions.
This made Long Chengyu think of some small chicken farms, and looking at this scale, it is estimated that it is not a problem to support nearly a hundred chickens, after all, chickens do not need much space to fly.
Long Chengyu couldn't help but be a little suspicious of his guess, could it be that he was suspicious, the owner of the thatched hut only came to breed on the shore of this artificial lake?
Just when Long Chengyu was suspicious, he suddenly heard a sound in the net, and when he looked into the distance, he found that under a tree in the middle of the clearing, a figure was standing.
The figure was clutching something in its hand, and it was still fluttering and struggling, and it looked like a chicken from a distance. When I walked in, I saw that it was not an ordinary chicken, it was a bit similar to a golden chicken.
"Could it be that he raised pheasants?" If it weren't for the fact that this back was a little familiar, Long Chengyu would really think that this person was an ordinary breeder. But after seeing this back, with Long Chengyu's gaze, he immediately recognized this person as the strange figure he was tracking before.
Long Chengyu quietly lurked over, wanting to take a closer look at what he was doing, and what was so special about the "chicken" in his hand.
"Since you've been alarmed and don't want to stay here any longer, I'll have no choice but to do it in advance. Although this is a pity and regret, it is also a way to do it, and I can't wait any longer. The figure was tearing at something, muttering as he spoke.
The words are inexplicable, people don't understand, the voice is hoarse, and the movements are weird, if it weren't for Long Chengyu's boldness, he would almost be frightened by this strange scene.
