Chapter 20: A Nightmarish Night

One

The mysterious forest at night looks quiet on the outside, but under the cover of night, the animals are extremely active, especially all kinds of fierce beasts, and the night is the beginning of their hunting.

The rat tiptoed out of the hole, ready to go out to forage, passed a rock pile, but was caught by a scorpion hidden in the crack of the stone, and died under the stinger in less than two rounds. And before the scorpion could enjoy the food, it was turned into a meerkat's meal.

In the woods, there were two figures walking through, and the pace was slightly hurried.

"Muke, I'm a little tired. ”

Mu Ke stopped, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Okay, let's rest for a while." ”

Irina took a sip of water, "Where are we going?" ”

Mu Ke took out the map: "According to the map, there are a lot of rocks here, maybe there will be caves." ”

Irina looked at Mu Ke affectionately, and felt a great sense of security in her heart: "It's good to have you." ”

Mu Ke hugged Irina's petite body: "We will definitely be able to go back, I promise you." ”

Irina knew the danger here, and she didn't expect anything more, and said affectionately: "I'll go wherever you go." ”

Mu Ke's heart is even more determined, he must get out alive and bring Irina back safely.

"Mu Ke, look, what is the dark shadow in the sky?"

At this time, the sky above the mysterious forest was full of black shadows, and they gathered more and more, and they had blocked the moonlight, and then flew away in groups, what was this? Is it a bird?

Fearing that the other guards would be disturbed, Sang Mu decided to go himself, and while the others were asleep, he slipped out of the door, and it happened that the old man was slaughtering sheep at the door.

The old man looked at Sang Mu casually: "Do you want to go by yourself?"

Sang Mu couldn't dodge and said, "Yes." ”

The old man skillfully skinned the sheepskin: "You are going to die again." ”

Sang Mu still walked towards the stable: "It's better than doing nothing here and doing something in a hurry." ”

At this time, the water in the pot next to him was already boiling, and the old man put the cut mutton in it: "Don't worry, Mu Ke is fine, let's go together tomorrow, so the chance of coming back will be greater." ”

Kuangki: "Why should I believe you?"

The old man said confidently: "Since I am a carpenter, have I missed a thing?"

This is really not an exaggeration by the old man, his divination has never been flawed, and if it weren't for Mu Ke's father's insistence on going his own way, he wouldn't have had such a big defeat.

Sang Mu leaned in front of the old man: "Is Mu Ke safe this time?"

The old man sprinkled a large handful of salt into the pot: "That's right, as long as you can listen to me." ”

Kuroki: "Alright then, I'm completely obedient to you, let me go east and I will never go west." ”

The old man nodded happily: "Then go back to sleep now." ”

Kuangi: "What about you?" ”

The old man added another fire: "When the mutton is cooked, I will go to rest, this is enough for us to live in the forest for a week." ”

Mulberry walked into the house without looking back this time, quickly lay down on the hard plank bed, and soon fell asleep.

Two

Somewhere in the woods.

The diligent owl did not make a sound for a long time, and the beasts stopped hunting and disappeared without a trace, all of which had something to do with the black shadow.

Black shadows fly freely in the sky, as if there are no predators, they are looking for prey, and when they find it, they will swarm up, leaving only a dried corpse when they leave, and they will keep looking for their targets until they are all full.

Today's land is unusually cold, the soldiers have fallen in the grass, with a felt cloth under it, and their heads resting on the saddle, Yi Tiezhen and Sha Lang couldn't sleep, and they hid a little farther away for fear of waking up the others with their voices, and talked with their backs against the big tree: "Sha Ron, do you regret coming with me?"

Sharon: "I was originally an orphan, thanks to Aza's incarnation, without Aza I would not be where I am today, what is there to regret." ”

Yi Tiezhen: "Good brother, it is precisely because of this that I feel guilty, I shouldn't have rushed into here and killed so many brothers." We'll go back tomorrow. ”

Sharon: "Why are you so confused, everyone has come here with great difficulty, how can you give up halfway? ”

At this time, it was already approaching the second half of the night, and the soldiers in charge of guarding were also a little tired, some were constantly hazing, some were leaning against the big trees, and some were secretly taking a nap.

As everyone knows, they have become the prey of others, these black shadows silently fall on the sleeping soldiers, gulping blood, they will inject anesthetic-like venom into the wound at the same time, so that the bitten creature is completely unaware.

One, two, three... Still unnoticed.

Mu Ke and Irina saw the dark shadows and felt that these creatures were not good creatures, so they quickly hid in the bushes, covered themselves with tiger skins, and lay motionless on the grass.

The shadows didn't seem to notice them or weren't interested in them, and flew away quickly when they were assembled.

The two waited for a long time, and found that the black shadow was gone, so they continued to hurry, and there were indeed many caves here, and they found the most hidden one to live in.

Mu Ke spread his tiger fur face up, "Irina, come and rest." ”

Irina lay on it a little tired, the tiger fur was very soft, and she quickly fell asleep.

Mu Ke probed out of the cave again, and after making sure that it was safe, he lay down beside her, and quickly fell asleep under the warmth of the tiger skin.

These blood-sucking black shadows are none other than the black bats that are unique to this place, they are the smallest but the most ferocious, they usually come in groups, and even tigers and rhinoceros are left to flee when they see them.

At this time, the soldiers who were on the night vigil were relieved, and they went to wake up the sleeping people, and these leaning outside were the first to wake up, and one of them replied: "Come on, what to urge." ”

This person is the squad leader here, and his status is still very high, and the soldier: "Okay, don't rush" and fell asleep.

At this time, people began to wake up gradually, and the gutter nose stretched his waist, but found that there were still 5 people who did not get up, and he lost his temper in an instant: "Hey, wake up, sleep like a dead pig." ”

After a shout but still no movement, he strode over, shouting loudly, "Little bunnies, it doesn't even matter to me to speak." ”

When he walked in, he happened to find swarthy bats crawling all over the bodies of several people, who had turned into dried corpses, and immediately screamed loudly.

For such a miserable cry of the battle-hardened warriors, everyone woke up, and gathered together in full armor, and the bats were also frightened, and scattered, and many of the bats were not full, so they did not leave.

I don't know what will happen in the end.
