I closed my eyes and walked slowly next to Mu Xiu at this time, because I had him and me in the palm of my hand, and with him by my side, I was a little less afraid now.

As I walked, I suddenly heard from somewhere, I don't know what kind of animal howled, and my heart that had just settled down immediately hung again, could it be that there was any beast or something like that? Aren't we going to be a good meal? I suddenly became depressed, this thing is really going on and on, endlessly!

"Don't be afraid." Mu Xiu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Hearing his voice, I was less nervous, but still scared, and I closed my eyes even tighter, and I didn't dare to open them to see.

"Howl!!" I noticed that the howl I had just heard was getting closer and closer, and I couldn't help but get more nervous.

At last I couldn't help but open my eyes to see what kind of beast it was, but I saw a strange-looking beast walking in front of us.

I had never seen this animal before, but it seemed familiar to me as if I had seen it somewhere, and I thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that the shape of this animal was exactly the same as the stone statues on both sides of the tomb door.

"What is this?" I asked Mu Xiu in a low voice.

"Mahar Lion."

I've never heard the name of this animal, and the monster in front of me is even more different than four, a bit like a lion and a tiger and a leopard, and even more strange is that it has a pair of horns, and if I look closely, I find that there are scales on the fur of those lions.

I was stunned, what a monster this is!! It's called a mackerel but it's not a lion, and although it's smaller than the monster I saw last time, its appearance looks much more ferocious.

Seeing that monster getting closer and closer, he finally howled and pounced on us, and before I could react, I was pushed away by Mu Xiu, and the next moment I was thrown to the ground hard, so I was able to dodge the monster's attack, but I saw that Mu Xiu and it were tearing Bo, and then I saw that my body was full of bones.

"Ah~!" I stood up with a scream, trembling with fear.

Then I found out something even worse, the monster that was fighting with Mu Xiu, probably because it heard my voice, actually turned its head and rushed towards me.

The monster howled and threw itself at me, and I hurriedly stepped back, accidentally stepping on the ground I don't know what kind of bone it was, and the whole person fell backwards for a long distance.

It was this fall that made the monster pounce in the air, and I was suddenly very grateful to these bones on the ground, otherwise I would have been eaten by this monster by now, and now I am not so afraid of the bones under me, but the monster seemed to be going crazy because of the pounce, and screamed and was about to pounce on me.

I couldn't help but say to myself, "It's over, it's over, it's really going to be over." ”

Just when the monster was about to pounce on me, it fell heavily in front of me, I looked over and saw Mu Xiu holding a pistol in his hand, I didn't care about being afraid, I quickly got up and ran to Mu Xiu's side, for fear that the monster would not die and swallow me.

"Are you alright?" Mu Xiu asked me.

I shook my head, thinking that if you were a little later, I would be fine.

The monster really wasn't dead, and after a while it struggled to get up, but because Mu Xiu hit its vital point, it could only toss around.

"Woo~~~" The monster suddenly howled at the sky like a wolf, but its voice was like a ghost crying, and it just lay motionless on the ground for a while.

I thought to myself, no matter how big you are, it's not a one-shot solution, see how you still eat me, hum!

But Mu Xiu's face turned pale, "Not good! ”

"What's wrong? This monster is dead! I said, I don't know why he's so panicked.

"Hurry up, it's just gathering its companions." Mu Xiu said and pulled me and ran.

I can't help but curse in my heart, that dead monster is dead and still refuses to let us go, it's really hateful! Mu Xiu pulled me all the way like this, and didn't stop until I ran a long way.

"Well, they shouldn't be able to catch up."

When he said this, I breathed a sigh of relief and kept patting my chest to smooth myself out.

"Don't talk loudly, and don't shout anymore, lest you invite them."

I looked at him with a reproachful look, meaning to blame me for yelling just now, I suddenly felt very aggrieved in my heart, and tears couldn't help but fall, as a girl, can I not be scared when I see such a scene?

"Okay, stop crying." He took off my gas mask and wiped my tears.

Now I cried even more, big tears fell down, I was so aggrieved, I knew I wouldn't come, I was so embarrassed and blamed, he didn't care about me anymore, but put the gas mask in the bag, and then took out a bag of compressed biscuits.

"Let's eat something first! Save the strength to cry, maybe you'll have to run for your life later! ”

I took the biscuit, wiped away my tears, and sobbed as I ate it, which I thought was funny in retrospect.

After eating the biscuits and drinking some water, then Mu Xiu said that he would rest in place and leave later, I was so sleepy and tired at this time, but I just escaped death, I didn't want to sleep at all, so I leaned on the side and closed my eyes to recuperate.

After resting on the spot for about half an hour, I began to leave, and after walking for a long time, I asked Mu Xiu, "How long will it take to get there?" ”

Mu Xiu didn't answer and asked, "Do you have any impression of the Bashi just now?" ”

"Impressions?" I looked at him puzzled, but then I thought about it and said, "I think it's very similar to the two stone sculptures next to the stone door of the ancient tomb." ”

"So." Mu Xiu looked at me and didn't say any more.

"So—" I began to ponder what he meant, and then I suddenly realized, "So, the palace is around here?" ”

Mu Xiu nodded, "The mackerel lion's nest should be the palace." ”

"Is it possible that we still have to defeat them?" I flinched a little, and I finally escaped death, so I didn't want to die again.

"Let's find a place to bypass the palace gate, the mackerel is just guarding the gate and won't go inside."

I looked at him suspiciously, would I really not go in? It was said that someone was in the palace before, but the Jiuli tribe no longer exists, won't they dominate the cave as a nest? But I'm curious about why there are such monsters in the world, and how Chiyou can raise such monsters.

What surprised me even more was that those monsters must have survived for thousands of years, right? That's not a good thing! Later, I asked Mu Xiu, and he told me that the average lifespan of Bashi is 500 years, and those should have been bred later, and it is too powerful to lie in the groove for 500 years, right? I was amazed.
