Ai Xiaohai didn't give up for a minute.

While birds and beasts are looking for each other, Ai Xiaohai is also working hard.

Dengyun Mountain is said to be a mountain, but in fact, the large area that is wrapped inside the mountain is the most mysterious. There are forests, swamps, mountain lakes, and countless flora and fauna. Twenty years ago, a scientific expedition team came in and found many animals and plants that were rare in the past.

Originally, the expedition team decided to continue further exploration, but then a very strange thing happened, one after another members of the expedition team disappeared, which forced the captain to give the order to retreat.

And those missing team members, like the missing climbers, were never found.

In the past 20 years, some scientific expeditions have come to explore, but the harsh climate and environment here have made them return one by one.

Now, Ai Xiaohai is here.

No matter how difficult or dangerous the place, he will definitely go. He was not afraid of anything, he had been to the primeval forests of Huyan Naxi, he had also been to the bottom of the sea, and a mountain-climbing mountain would definitely not make him retreat.

Moreover, there are two more people waiting for him there. He firmly believes that Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi are not dead, they are still alive!

Why? Ai Xiaohai didn't know, he could feel it anyway.

"King, I found the traces left by humans in front of you!" Da Gang hurriedly ran over.

When Ai Xiaohai heard this, his spirits perked, and under the leadership of Da Gang, he quickly found a backpack left by a human.

At first glance, I can't help but be a little disappointed, judging from the style of the backpack, it is definitely not something used by two girls. This backpack is a few years old.

The backpack was opened, and there was some rotten food and expedition essentials inside. Ai Xiaohai simply found a place to shelter from the rain, poured out all the contents of the bag, and actually found an oiled paper bag sealed in a plastic bag.

Uncovered the oil paper outside, it turned out to be a diary again. Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but smile bitterly, why is he so close to the diary? The one I found in the sea is still in my home. These members of the scientific expedition team are also really, what age are they, and they still use pen and paper to write diaries, don't you know that there is a thing called a tape recorder?

Flipping through the diary, it was written by a member of the expedition team, roughly writing that they formed a scientific expedition team five years ago to conduct a scientific investigation of the interior of Dengyun Mountain.

Ai Xiaohai had the impression that this seemed to be the last scientific expedition to Dengyun Mountain that was organized, and it was a non-governmental organization, and this exploration caused heavy losses to the scientific expedition team, and all 9 members were wiped out, and none of them could come out alive.

The local government~government has also carried out rescues, but this scientific expedition team seems to have completely disappeared from this world...... Dengyun Mountain has an additional nickname - Devil's Mountain!

Since then, no expedition team has dared to take risks.

According to the legend of the local elders, there is a terrible demon hidden in the mountain, ruling all the creatures in the mountain, and humans will suffer a terrible fate if they rush into its territory.

Ai Xiaohai doesn't believe in any demons.

The rain was getting heavier, and this kind of rain made Ai Xiaohai unable to move normally, so he could only wait here for the rain to be lighter. Taking advantage of this time, he probably flipped through his diary.

"X month X day, sunny. Bai Siyuan is missing, and we can't find him. There is no cell phone signal at all, so we can't get in touch with the outside world...... X-month-X, sunny. We were still looking for Bai Siyuan everywhere, and when we returned to the camp in the evening, Hu Weiguo and Gao Xiaofan did not come back...... X month X day, cloudy. It's been the third day, Bai Siyuan, Hu Weiguo, and Gao Xiaofan seem to have disappeared, and we can't find them......

X month X day, rain. A terrifying atmosphere enveloped the whole team, this is the sixth day that we have entered the interior of Dengyun Mountain, and in six days, a total of six of our team members are missing. The expedition team still left me, Lao Sun and Xiao Wei. We agreed to look for another day, and if we couldn't find them, we had to retreat. However, in the evening, as every day in the past, Lao Sun did not come back......

X month X day, rain. The rain was so heavy that it forced our retreat to be delayed. In the camp, Xiao Wei and I didn't say anything. I could see in his eyes the same things as I was, scared, lonely, helpless. What happened to our companions? Are they dead or alive? How do we explain to their families......"

Seeing this, Ai Xiaohai turned to the next page again, thinking that it was another day's event, but he didn't expect the owner of the diary to continue writing on this day:

"I saw it, I saw it! I had to keep a record of everything I saw. Unfortunately, it was so fast that I didn't see what it was......"

Ai Xiaohai immediately became curious, what did the owner of the diary see? He hurriedly looked back, and the owner of the diary had changed a new page, and the handwriting was much more sloppy, and it was estimated that he was in an excited mood at the time, or he was highly nervous:

"My name is You Guofeng, and I am a plant expert in the mountaineering cloud scientific expedition team, and there are nine members in our scientific expedition team. After entering Dengyun Mountain, seven team members disappeared one after another, leaving only me, Xiao Wei, and Wei Nianhua. Today, taking advantage of the lighter rain, Xiao Wei went out to see if he could evacuate, and in less than two minutes, I heard Xiao Wei's frightened scream, and I hurriedly rushed out. Xiao Wei's scream was very poignant, and it disappeared after a while. When I arrived, a dark shadow flashed. I didn't see what it was, only blood on the ground and an iron rod that Xiao Wei used for self-defense......

He must have come across some terrible creature, and it was the shadow. The time between when I heard the cry and when I arrived was very short, but Xiao Wei was powerless to resist in front of the unknown creature. The rain was much lighter, and the blood on the ground was still there, and I chased all the way along the blood, but the more I chased it, the more frightened I became. Judging from the trajectory and shape of the bloodstains, Xiao Wei was dragged all the way by the creature, and judging from the friction marks on the ground, the speed of the creature was amazingly fast.

There is a reason why I am frightened, Xiao Wei is more than 1.85 meters tall and weighs more than 80 kilograms. What kind of creature can drag an object of more than 160 pounds and still run like flying? I traced it all the way to the lake in the mountains, and the blood was gone. Could it be that the monster entered the lake with Xiao Wei? Not scientific, this is really not scientific, if this is an amphibian, how can it be so fast on land?

The rain was a bit heavy again, and I was worried that the traces left by the monsters would be washed away, so I immediately returned the way I came. Fortunately, those traces are still there. The monster was supposed to be a reptilian with strong limbs. Unfortunately, I'm just a botanist and don't have much research on animals to tell what they are. Crocodile? No, crocodiles don't crawl as fast on land, and their forelimbs are definitely not that stout......

Now I can be sure that the missing companions must have been poisoned by that monster, and the same is true for Xiao Wei. When I'm done recording this, I'll take my camera and go and take pictures of all the traces, hoping that the rain won't be too cruel to wash everything away. I don't think I'll ever come back, but I hope that what I've recorded will be discovered by those who come after me......"

This person named You Guofeng was right, he never came back.

Strong-limbed, run-like amphibians and reptiles? In Ai Xiaohai's memory, he couldn't think of what kind of monster this was. But one thing is for sure, here, there is a creature hidden enough to be deadly and murderous!

Dragging one hundred and sixty pounds is important, running like lightning, and this speed seems to be faster than himself.

Ai Xiaohai's heart sank...... In case of...... In case this monster is met by Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi...... There was no chance of them escaping......

"Dagang!"

"In!"

Ai Xiaohai described the shape of the monster in the diary: "Do you know that there is such a creature here? ”

"Yes." Da Gang's answer was surprising: "This monster lives in the lake, and goes ashore to hunt once or twice a day, and its speed is very fast, and the speed of hunting is just as amazing, all these years, no one can know what it looks like." Because of this, the area around the lake has been classified as a forbidden area by us for generations......"

"Well...... Have you seen that monster here? ”

"No, as long as you keep a distance from the lake, it's absolutely safe."

Why? Could it be that the monster can only move around the lake? Ai Xiaohai didn't quite understand.

After putting away the diary, he looked out, the rain was a little lighter, Ai Xiaohai was worried about Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi not to meet monsters, and he didn't have the heart to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly walked out......

……

"Swallow, look, there are swallows!" Deng Mengmeng pointed outside: "A swallow in the rain!" ”

Xu Yunqi also saw it, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes: "Mengmeng, I miss Sister Swift." ”

"I want to ...... too We'll see ...... soon," Deng Mengmeng comforted her good friend.

The swallow actually flew in front of them, and it was not afraid of people at all. Deng Mengmeng muttered: "Swallow, swallow, we are trapped here, tired and hungry, Yunyun is still injured, can you find someone to save us?" ”

Originally, she was just talking to herself in a desperate situation, but she didn't expect that the swallow would fly around her twice, call a few times with the sharp cry unique to the mountain swallow, and then flapped its wings and flew out.

"Yunyun, why do I think Yanzi seems to understand me?"

"You're hallucinating, how can the swallow understand you."

Probably hallucinating, right?

But after a while, a pangolin ran in. It...... It actually put a mountain fruit in front of Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi.

Dazzling, Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi opened their mouths and rubbed their eyes, they were really dazzled!
