Chapter 578: Bad Omen
While everyone was healing Yin Ze's injuries, another adventure team also happened to pass through here.
"Attacked by monsters?"
"Yes, I dragged a person away last night! It's scary!" As soon as they heard the other party's inquiry, several big mouths immediately added fuel and vinegar to tell the experience of the past two days.
The guide of the other team gradually frowned after hearing this: "We came a few days ago, but we haven't encountered any demon beasts in this forest......?"
"Don't worry, you may have to wait a minute. Wang Daqi replied bluntly.
Seeing that the face of the opposite guide sank significantly, Ah Yong hurriedly stepped forward to play a round, and the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, and the other adventuring team left in a hurry. But the news they inadvertently brought ignited a fuse of suspicion among everyone.
"Why is everyone else okay, but we have encountered demon beasts, or are they one after another?" was evident in the speaker's tone.
"If you want me to say, there are still ghosts. The other person looked at Ye Shuo with a gloomy and unfriendly gaze.
Ye Shuo recognized himself as a clear person and had no intention of arguing with everyone, but this was regarded by many people as a tacit acquiescence, and he was asked to come up with an explanation.
"That's enough!" Finally Ah Yong shouted, "You are all companions, and before the matter is clear, you doubt this and doubt that here before the matter is clear, doesn't this make the enemy defeat itself?"
Under Ah Yong's reprimand, although everyone was temporarily settled, the deep estrangement had taken root in their hearts.
As for what Ah Yong said about "all companions", perhaps, from the time of "one more", among them, there were already people who were no longer companions.
In the awkward atmosphere, the silence was broken by a pinching chanting.
"The peak of Qingshan Peak, trickery and conspiracy. The epee once had no edge, and it was a late bloomer. The guest in the well is scheming like the depth of the sea. If you get the scenery in the scene, you will return again and again. ”
can still have such literary leisure, naturally the bard. Someone glared impatiently: "What are you pretending to be a ghost again?"
The bard shook his head, and his meaningful gaze deliberately turned in the crowd: "Heavenly Machine!"
This person has always been chattering, and I don't know how many messy poems I have heard him sing along the way, and no one has taken his words to heart at this time. Only a figure that had just met his gaze, and his slightly lowered gaze gradually became mysterious.
……
"Have you heard of the legend of the Six Imperial Demon Lords?" Su Yanmo had already treated his wounds and sat cross-legged in the crowd.
Someone immediately said: "It's the former emperor of the demon clan! The one who was recently resurrected! I know!"
Su Yanmo smiled mysteriously, raised his hand, and signaled everyone to lower their heads: "It is said that this demon has been missing since its resurrection, and this Red Flame Forest was the holy land of the demon race thousands of years ago...... Is it possible for him to lurk here and try to take this place back, after all, that one has always been very tough in his ways?"
Although he was only halfway through his words, everyone's minds spun quickly, and someone on the spot exclaimed, "Do you want to say that it will be the Six Imperial Demon Lords who have attacked us in the past two days?"
"But if it's him, why hide? He could just show up and kill us all!" another objected.
"Nasty! The more you talk about it, the more scary it gets!"
Su Yanmo's voice was lowered: "The Six Imperial Demon Lords have been suppressed for thousands of years, and their strength has long been much worse than before. I think that with his current state, he is not suitable for a head-on conflict with the Demon Domain, so naturally he doesn't dare to be too blatant. His gaze swept over everyone's faces in turn, and his voice also brought a gloom that lingered in the forest, "Before that, he needs to absorb a large amount of essence to replenish his vitality-"
The last sentence, in the special environment in front of them, actually made everyone feel terrified.
"Don't say it!" Komi had covered her ears tightly, tears rolling down in strings: "I don't want to stay in this place anymore! I want to go home! I want to go home......!"
Her cry seemed to have aroused the pent-up fear in everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere fell into silence. Everyone exchanged glances in disbelief, maybe everyone wanted to leave now, but no one was willing to admit their fears, they were all waiting for others to speak first, even Ah Yong was silent.
This trip, maybe it's really a mistake, even if the demon domain is in civil strife, after all, it is a strong race for thousands of years, and it is not a place for human beings who are lucky to fish in troubled waters.
Su Yanmo saw everyone's hesitation, and said hurriedly: "We've only been here for the second day, wouldn't it be a pity if we gave up so easily......?" There must be more treasures ahead!" He moved too quickly, and blood oozed from the gauze on his forehead.
Ah Yong pondered for a moment and came up with a compromise plan: "Otherwise, let's raise our hands and vote." Raise your hand in favor of continuing the expedition. ”
Su Yanmo was the first to raise his hand. Ye Shuo also raised his hand. Naturally, he couldn't just go back until he found the altar, and if this group really broke up, it would be much more difficult to find his way alone.
With the two of them taking the lead, the crowd also began to raise their hands in twos and threes. Kami bit her lip tightly as she saw more and more people raising their hands, as if she was also cutting off her hope of leaving. She couldn't control the others, so she could only glance back and forth at Zhou Yuyan and Yin Ze with her pitiful gaze, hoping that they could stand on her side.
The next moment, an arm was raised straight beside her, which was Zhou Yuyan's hand.
Then, Yin Ze also raised his hand expressionlessly.
They didn't pay any attention to their pleas.
In the end, everyone in the entire team, except for Kemei, actually raised their hands. Even Chen Yang, who has always been the most timid, is among them.
Perhaps, they are motivated by a herd mentality, or perhaps, simply out of simple greed.
They are thirsting for the treasures of the deeper demon realm, and for this, they even do not hesitate to gamble with their own lives.
Su Yanmo smiled weakly and slowly lowered his hand. At this time, the gauze on his forehead had been stained red with blood.
"Alas, Xiaomei......" The momentum of progress is a foregone conclusion, Ah Yong looked at Kemei with some apologies, "Look, everyone is going to continue walking, and no one can send you back." If you leave the team alone, it will only be more dangerous, so why don't you continue to walk with us? ”
Kemi sobbed a few more times, but what Yong said was true, and she could only reluctantly nod.
Yong smiled with relief, took out the map, and studied the next path.
Suddenly, there was another beast roar in the jungle, and a white light flew by, and before Ah Yong could react, his hands were empty, and at the same time, he was followed by a cool behind, and the bag containing the fireworks, as well as the life-saving map, had been hidden among the shadows of the bushes and trees with the demon beast at the same time.
The hearts of the people also cooled.
Without the map, there is no turning back.
They're trapped here.
Trapped in a forest full of weirdness and murderous machines......
