Chapter 70: Midnight Fright
Chu Mo heard Yan Ning's exclamation, hurriedly picked up a torch, and stumbled over in the direction from which the sound came. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He knew that Yan Ning was also bold and careful, and what could make her exclaim was definitely not a trivial matter.
Did you encounter a beast in the mountains? Or is it a snake worm?
He only hated himself for being injured at this time, and he couldn't hurry over. He didn't care about his dizziness and hurried forward. In a panic, he tripped over the roots of a tree and extinguished his torches.
Fortunately, it had rained and was relatively humid, otherwise it would have caused a fire to burn the mountain, and he and Yan would rather be trapped in the fire.
Chu Mo didn't dare to be careless anymore, settled down, saw the road under his feet by the moonlight, and continued to walk forward, holding a fire fold in his hand.
In case Yan Ning encounters a killer, then he can't light up the fire and surprise him.
Yan Ning regretted her carelessness at this time, she leaned her back against a big tree tightly, and her eyes looked straight ahead.
It was dark in the mountains, there was no rain tonight, and there was even a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
But the moonlight was too faint, and the trees in the mountains were so dense that they blocked most of the light. Occasionally, the moonlight falls through the dappled shade of the trees, which can only illuminate a little place, but it is still not clear to see the road.
She knew there was something hiding in the grass ahead, but she couldn't see what it was.
She had just gone up the tree to dig out the bird's nest, and as soon as she slipped down from the big tree behind her, her feet touched the ground, and she felt something rushing from behind the tree and pounced on her.
She let out a low cry, instinctively bowed her head and bent down, pulling out the knife she had just inserted into the ground, and several movements in one go.
When she turned to face forward again, she saw nothing, except the faint rustle of fallen branches and leaves.
The instinct of a martial artist makes her feel that something is staring at her, is it a human? Or a beast?
Everything is quiet, the longer the stalemate, the more Yan Ning dare not move, now although she can't see the front, but her back is safe, the tree behind her is big and tall enough to completely cover her figure. If you move, if you are flanked by someone from front to back, you will really die here.
"Who? What kind of hero is a pretending to be a ghost? She shouted loudly, giving herself courage, and her right hand clenched the handle of the knife, and her palms were drenched with sweat. She slowly reached into the bag with her left hand and pulled out the two eggs she had just picked up from the tree, if only there was a torch that would allow her to see ahead.
Her voice was heard, and there was silence in front of her, except for the dark shadows. When the mountain wind blows, the blades of grass shake, as if a dark shadow looms behind it. There seems to be a sound of Suo Suo coming from the left and right. There is also the occasional chirping of an unknown animal, which is particularly clear in the dark night.
Yan Ning only felt that his hair was upside down, his back was cold, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and he didn't care about wiping it.
"Yan Ning! Yan Ning! Where are you? Chu Mo rushed to the vicinity, but there was no sound. I didn't know where to look, and I didn't know if Yan Ning was in danger, so I had to open my throat and shout.
Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, she was really scared just now, unknown, the most frightening.
"I'm here, Chu Mo! I am here! She screamed twice, and unconsciously choked up. Great, he found it. At this time, in this kind of place, we have fought against each other during the day, and I have been expecting someone to come to me just now. It's just that she doesn't believe that anyone can help her. Now, Chu Mo has found it.
Yan Ning responded twice, and after a little relief, her reason returned, she didn't dare to relax or leave the big tree, and reminded loudly: "Chu Mo, I don't know what is here, you be careful!" Get around, get around behind me! She judged Chu Mo's position by the sound of footsteps and reminded him how to walk.
Chu Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yan Ning's response, "I'll come over here!" Don't move there! According to Yan Ning's instructions, he slowly moved over.
But there is still no movement ahead, is it my own imagination? Yan Ning was a little unsure, but the feeling of being targeted was still there, so she didn't dare to look away, she still stared at her eyes, for fear of giving people an opportunity.
Chu Mo walked next to her, only to see that Yan Ning's face was wet with sweat, and his lips may have just been bitten too tightly, leaving deep tooth marks. He held Yan Ning's arm, "It's okay, I'm here!" Don't be afraid! As he spoke, he lit the fire.
With the fire, Yan Ning immediately felt that the feeling of being targeted was lighter, "Let me see, what is pretending to be a ghost!" She snatched the fire fold in hatred and walked into the grass in front of her.
Is she shy? Chu Mo looked at Yan Ning's angry expression, and couldn't help laughing, what a strong Yan Ning.
"Ahh Yan Ning really screamed at this time, she jumped back, and just leaned into Chu Mo's arms who were walking behind her. At this time, she didn't care about being shy, she leaned hard into Chu Mo's arms, and the hand holding the fire fold pointed forward tremblingly.
Chu Mo hurriedly grabbed her waist with one hand, "What's wrong?" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! He took the fire fold in Yan Ning's hand with one hand, raised it and took a photo forward, even he was startled, the assassin who was stabbed to death by Yan Ning in the chest during the day actually fell in the grass in front of him, facing the sky on his back, looking at it with a pair of eyes, his face was pale and expressionless.
Rao is Yan Ning died once, and he was also frightened.
Unafraid! Dead people can't move! Yan Ning stabilized his mind and slowly stood up straight. At this moment, she smelled blood in the air. Looking from the side of the corpse, there were a pair of green eyes!
Yan Ning grabbed Chu Mo's hand, "Look at the grass on the left, there is something!" ”
Chu Mo saw that she was not afraid, and slowly let go of the hand holding her waist and looked to the left.
A pair of green, glowing eyes!
Through the grass, tiger stripes loomed.
Tiger!
A big colorful tiger!
There was a tiger hiding in the grass and not coming out for so long!
Chu Mo knew that beasts like tigers in the mountains were good at ambushing. They will definitely wait until the best moment of ambush before delivering a fatal blow to their prey.
Yan Ning also saw it clearly at this time, then, the assassin's body should have been brought over by a tiger.
Maybe the wind I heard just now was from the tiger running over, and my own exclamation alarmed it! Then, it wants to ambush itself.
No Assassins, No Tigers! This luck is really bad.
"Let's slowly step away, okay?" Tigers have food and may not attack them.
"No, look at the way it looks, if we turn around at this time, it will definitely pounce on us from behind." Chu Mo said calmly.
"I'll stay and watch it first, you go find some branches and leaves, and we'll burn the fire to scare it off." Seeing what it was, Yan Ning was not afraid, since he couldn't retreat, he could only scare the tiger away.
