Tomb of the Fox and the Crow Chapter 161 Crazy Night
Running forward, maybe chasing, maybe fleeing.
- Preamble
Bai Gu's legs trembled. Although the aurora in the sky was very gorgeous, it was now a terrifying light that illuminated the dark and strange figure.
Also feeling panicked with him was Xuan Junyang. Although neither of them had ever seen any living creatures, at least horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs still knew. The thing in front of him, with no eyes, no ears, no nose, and only a disproportionately large mouth, grinned back in a mysterious and terrifying smile.
The monster twisted its head and approached the campfire a little, as if sensing warmth and light.
Through the aurora, Bai Gu could barely see the whole body of the monster - it was a monster the size of a man, bloated and fat, with extremely short limbs, crawling on the ground like a reptile. Its skin is not covered in hair, nor is it shiny, but rather pitch black.
That's definitely not an animal.
"Xuan Junyang ......" lowered his voice, and Bai Gu lifted his sleeves, wanting to pull up Xuan Junyang, who was sitting on the ground. That strange thing had no organs other than its mouth, and Bai Gu took it for granted that it had no senses of sight, hearing, or smell. But even so, he kept his voice down, for fear of being noticed by the creature.
Xuan Junyang also pulled Bai Gu and carefully moved back, changing from a sitting position to a squatting position.
The monster didn't seem to be aware of Xuan Junyang's movements, or it may have felt that the two extremely slow-moving creatures in front of him were not a threat at all.
While dragging Xuan Junyang to his feet, Bai Gu's afterglow glanced farther away. He wanted to scream, but he didn't have the guts—all around, from the mountains down, from the foothills to the plains, there were strange creatures like that. It's just that they come in all shapes, some dragging their mutilated and shriveled bodies with their thick arms, others staggering on their slender legs, but all the monsters only have big grinning mouths backwards, like ghosts that laugh in the night.
Thankfully, now that Xuan Junyang stood up, they only needed to move back slowly, and then retreat to the tent to wake Jane Gray quietly, and the three of them fled at the same slow pace. As for whether these monsters are real or not, and whether the three of them can accept the facts in front of them, it is all a matter after safety.
Unfortunately, a shout made Bai Gu's heart suddenly rise to his throat.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
The two of them standing by the campfire looked back at the same time, and saw a sleepy-eyed Jane Grey leaning out of the tent and looking at them while rubbing her eyes.
"What's that?"
With excellent eyesight, she first noticed the two men by the fire and the black monster crawling in front of them. Then, she looked up at the emerald green aurora. Through the faint green color, the black ghosts all over the mountains and fields were dense and wriggling like cockroaches lying on the wall.
Bai Gu could clearly see that Jane Gray's expression in the green light turned from a surprise to a doubt. After the suspicion turned to certainty as her pupils dilated, light poured in, and her vision clearer, fear began to build up on her face, until finally, a scream of "ahhhhhhhhh
After that scream, there was a brief silence in the wilderness. Then, all the smiling black heads turned to this side.
"Click!" the monster lying in front of the fire jerked its head up, and from its mouth, let out a sound like coughing.
"Run!" Xuan Junyang shouted as if he had exhausted all his strength, grabbed Bai Gu and turned around and ran towards Jane Gray, "Jane! Run, run!"
For a while, at the foot of the mountain, groups of black shadows let out strange roars one after another, and rushed towards the direction of the fire together.
"That's ...... What is that?" Jane Gray ran with all her strength, and at the same time, she didn't forget to ask Xuan Junyang with a crying voice. She could clearly hear the eerie sounds coming from behind her, the enormous sound of the hordes of creatures, but if she listened closely, she could hear the low laughter of men and women of different voices. It was as if it was not a group of monsters chasing behind them, but a group of humans who had fallen into madness.
"Don't talk! Run!" Xuan Junyang didn't have time to answer her question, his hand was still stiffly tugging on Bai Gu's sleeve because of nervousness, and he almost dragged Bai Gu, who was physically weak, to the ground several times.
And Bai Gu, although he was running away, he still looked back several times.
He saw the monsters behind him writhing their bodies in various shapes chasing them. The same blackness, the same huge mouth, and the same low and weird laughter constantly stimulated the eardrums and nerves of the three of them.
The aurora in the sky changed, and the colorful bands of light twisted wildly, emitting a green light that was even stranger and more terrifying than before, shrouding the wilderness that carried the fleeing three people in a suffocating scene.
The alluvial fan terrain in the foothills did not rise and fall in the slightest, and on the unobstructed land, the three of them ran like headless flies, and they all looked at the same wilderness, and there was no hope in sight. At this time, Jane Gray's speed seemed to slow down little by little, and her physical strength could no longer support it.
The monsters chasing the trio seemed to smell fear in Jane Gray's rapidly breathing voice. Suddenly, a sharp laugh rang out from the black frenzy, and then spread like a contagious disease. In a matter of seconds, all the low laughter turned into a loud laugh, disturbing the wilderness shrouded in the peaceful green light. Saliva flowed from the cracked mouths of the monsters, as if they had foreseen the fact that the three of them would be crushed and crushed.
Bai Gu, who was tightly held by Xuan Junyang, saw that the distance between Jane and them seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and if she continued like this, she would definitely be chased, surrounded, and torn apart by those terrifying monsters.
"Xuan Junyang!" shouted at Xuan Junyang, but Bai Gu didn't dare to slow down, "Jane can't do it!"
Xuan Junyang ignored Bai Gu's words, just continued to tear Bai Gu's sleeves, and ran wildly without looking back. The strange laughter behind frantically tore at his mind, making him unable to think more calmly, and at the moment he could only take care of Bai Gu, but he had no energy left to care about Jane Gray.
Besides, if it weren't for her untimely scream, how could the three of them be in such a dangerous situation! Even if Jane was eaten by them, she would be innocent!
"Ahh
Suddenly, Jane screamed and fell to the ground with a "poof" - her calf was bitten by the black monster that was chasing her, and although the wound was very light, it tripped her to the ground, which had little strength.
Hearing Jane's scream, Bai Gu grabbed Xuan Junyang with all his might.
"What are you doing!" Xuan Junyang, who was dragged by Bai Gu, turned around and called out with some annoyance.
By this time, Jane had been surrounded by the monsters she had chased. They sneered as they approached her with their mouths drooping their tongues.
"Ahh She once had nothing, and she didn't have the slightest concern, but at this time, she didn't dare to face death because of Bai Gu.
"Hee-hee-hee!" the monsters laughed as they bit at her.
"Ahh
Xuan Junyang naturally saw this. He didn't know what to do because he didn't want to die either. Even though he was terminally ill, he still had an instinct to survive. Jane was nothing more than a passerby of their English life, and when she died, she died. Maybe she will really marry Bai Gu, but who can guarantee that something hasn't happened yet, maybe in a few weeks they will have a big fight and then break up unhappily!
So Bai Gu, run away! Leave Jane Gray alone, run away! We have to survive! We have to survive!
Thinking like this, he felt Bai Gu break his tightly clenched hand violently. His eyes showed a decisive look that had never been seen before. There was no trace of anger, and there was no complaint, Bai Gu's expression was as calm as a frozen lake in winter.
"You go first, I'll save her. ”
After speaking, Bai Guyi turned his head without hesitation and ran towards Jane, who was already surrounded by monsters.
On such a night, Bai Gu's back turned around and ran towards him as if it had become a sign of his death.
Running towards the black shadows surrounded by layers, Bai Gu used all his strength to kick away the monster in front of him. The black shadow in front of him formed a pitch-black barrier, and he could only use all means, whether it was kicking or pulling, he wanted to open the layers of black, and he wanted to save Jane from it!
Those alien things didn't seem to feel Bai Gu, and arched towards Jane Gray more unscrupulously, making it difficult for Bai Gu to get close to her.
"Jane, Jane!" Bai Gu grabbed the body of a black shadow with his hand, and the cold and sticky feel made Bai Gu feel like he was tearing a lump of mud.
Hearing Bai Gu's shout, Jane struggled harder. Suddenly, she was already thinly dressed while sleeping in the tent, and the thin coat had been torn to tatters, and her unprotected arms and calves were covered with scars from her own struggles and monster bites.
"Bai Gu, I'm here!"
Looking at Bai Gu, who didn't care about life and death, Xuan Junyang hesitated in his heart.
He wanted to escape, but it was Bai Gu! He couldn't just go!
"Uh, hey, hey, hey——!" Suddenly, a scream came from Xuan Junyang's side, and a huge black shadow crawled over, knocking him to the ground with a "poof".
"Get out of the ......!" grabbed the monster's neck with both hands, and Xuan Junyang struggled to resist. The monster let out a disgusting laugh, and the smell of blood oozed from its grinning mouth.
"Get out of the way!!" A flash of red light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the furious Xuan Junyang.
The monster's smile vanished. It shrank back sharply and stepped back from Xuan Junyang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xuan Junyang hurriedly got up. only to find that he had also been exhausted.
It's just that unlike Bai Gu's situation, these monsters surround themselves, but they seem to be afraid of themselves, and they revolve around.
At this time, Xuan Junyang felt the abnormality from his pocket. Reaching out and digging it out, the sculpture he carried with him was like the night sky, emitting a terrifying, faint green light.
