Lian Rui didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to look at You Heng, hoping that he could support his point of view and help persuade Ling Yan.

Unexpectedly, You Heng looked at Ling Yan at this time and said, "Brother Xian, what you said is right, don't you ...... Let's go and find out. ”

The screams continued, and after listening to it for a long time, Ling Yan's sense of fear was not as obvious as it was at the beginning, but his curiosity had risen, and it seemed that he had overpowered his fear. So, I agreed to Youheng's suggestion and ordered to set off in the direction where the howl came from.

Lian Rui couldn't do it, so he had to follow silently, Lu Gong was a very good guard, and he didn't express any objections, just followed Ling Yan closely.

The four men walked cautiously through the woods, and in fact, with the constant cries of "navigation", their target was not difficult to determine.

Along the way, Ling Yan also carefully watched the surroundings, but he didn't find the whereabouts of the beast, but he knew in his heart that he must not be careless.

Walking in the forest at night, there was no way to speed up, so after walking for more than ten minutes, they stopped.

The reason they stopped was because of Ling Yan's command with gestures, and the reason Ling Yan gave the order was because he felt that those beasts were not far ahead.

Due to the darkness of the sky and the dense forest, the visible field of vision was extremely low, so Ling Yan did not see the figure of the beast, but the howl that felt close to his ears made people shudder, and at the same time, it was very easy to judge that the distance with them was very, very close.

Being in the midst of the terrifying beast howl, it was impossible not to make people tremble, but Lu Gong still had the courage to whisper to Ling Yan: "General Yan...... Please order the last general to go first...... Check it out. ”

Ling Yan admired Lu Gong's courage and "dedication", although he could also hear the trills in Lu Gong's words.

Ling Yan motioned to Lu Gong not to speak first, and then ordered Lu Gong to stay where he was, and the other three of them stepped forward to check - Ling Yan knew that now was not the time for Lu Gong to charge into the vanguard and fight the vanguard, otherwise he would have to devote his energy to protect him.

After issuing the order, Ling Yan glanced at Lian Rui and saw that his expression was a little nervous and flustered, at this time, Ling Yan had some irrelevant thoughts in his heart - the current Lian Rui and the Lian Rui he saw for the first time in the barracks were like two people, now he looks much more normal, with the nervousness and fear of ordinary people, and at that time, he was like the other guards soldiers of Zuo Colonel, his face was expressionless, his expression was gray, and he didn't seem to know what fear was.

Just as Ling Yan and the others were about to take further action, suddenly, the deafening howl stopped in an instant.

It was a real momentary stop, from deafening to silence.

This sudden change made Ling Yan have the illusion that he was deaf for a while, and his body stiffened unconsciously.

The others also stopped their movements, looked at Ling Yan with stunned expressions, and then looked around nervously.

You Heng frowned and muttered, "This ...... Why? ”

This time, Ling Yan's reaction after coming back to his senses was very calm, he gestured to everyone to keep quiet, and continued to move forward slowly.

After a few more steps, several people stopped again.

Ling Yan looked at the environment and terrain in front of him, and suddenly had doubts in his heart, so he stopped the team - in front of them, there were still a few trees, and further on, there was a clearing, but around the clearing, there were still woods, as if the trees had surrounded a clearing that was not too small, which looked very strange.

At this time, Ling Yan's nerves were highly tense, staring at the clearing tightly, although his vision was gray and black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but his intuition told him that there was danger looming.

You Heng seemed to be saying to himself, "Here...... How can there be such a terrain? ”

Ling Yan naturally couldn't answer You Heng's question, but he also understood in his heart that this place was very unusual, and judging from the location, the place where the beast howled before seemed to be near here.

Suddenly, a low roar came from behind him: "Whew-"

This roar frightened Ling Yan, who was in a high degree of nervous tension, jumped up, and the other three also turned around with extremely rapid movements, but this was not like their active action, but it was like a conditioned reflex after being frightened.

Among them, You Heng's reaction was quite fast, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately raised his arms, palms facing forward, and soon a blue light appeared.

Sure enough, as Ling Yan expected, after he jumped up and turned to land, he saw a pair of hungry wolf-like green eyes staring at them in the forest not far away, and the roar just now was obviously coming from its mouth.

Although a few people were taken aback, they were not completely unprepared, so when Ling Yan saw You Heng's palm aimed at the glowing eyes, his heart was somewhat relieved.

At this time, Lian Ruiqi raised his hand, and the palm of his hand was also aimed at the beast's eyes.

Maybe it was because it took a short time for the internal qi to gather, or because it was because of waiting for Ling Yan's order, in short, although You Heng and Lian Rui both transported the internal qi, neither of them emitted internal qi waves.

As it turned out, it was a wise choice for them not to rush into the internal qi waves, because when Lian Rui transported the internal qi, the beast seemed to take a step back, because its green eyes moved, and then, more than a dozen glowing eyes appeared in the darkness one after another, and soon, these eyes were almost in a row.

Lian Rui was startled, and his internal qi dissipated instantly; You Heng was also surprised, and he didn't consciously put down his arm, but the internal qi was still attached to the palm of his hand.

Ling Yan immediately became nervous again, there were seven or eight that could be seen in front of him, naturally there must be some who did not appear in the dark, then I don't know how many, now it seems that which beast called it just now is completely uncertain.

At this moment, a low cry rang out again, and Ling Yan couldn't determine which mouth it came from, or which ones, but one thing he could be sure of was that the beasts took a step forward at the same time, as their glowing eyes moved from side to side almost simultaneously.

Ling Yan subconsciously took a step back, and the other three followed Ling Yan and did the same.

The eyes of the beasts moved almost simultaneously, and then several pairs of glowing green eyes appeared next to them.

Ling Yan and the others also took several steps back, and at this time, Ling Yan realized that there were no less than ten beasts in front of him.

Being stared at by more than two dozen bloodthirsty ghosts, Ling Yan only felt that his whole body was hairy, his nerves were tense, and his whole body was stiff and unable to move, except for his feet retreating like a machine.

"Flame ...... General Yan, now ...... How to ......" Lian Rui's voice trembled.

Ling Yan's eyes were fixed on the front, he didn't dare to look away, and for the question that Lian Rui hadn't finished, Ling Yan naturally couldn't answer it, so he simply didn't answer.

Although Ling Yan was extremely nervous, he still "busy" and found a detail that moved him quite a lot-the four of them slowly retreated, but Lu Gong was always in front of him, which made him feel a warm current in his heart. But Ling Yan also knew that in the current situation, Lu Gong had no ability to protect himself at all, and it was unlikely that he would even protect himself; On the other hand, once these beasts attack, it makes no difference whether it is Lu Gong who is standing in front or himself who is standing behind, and the biggest possibility is that none of them will be able to escape. Therefore, Ling Yan did not persuade Lu Gong to retreat more.

In fact, in this dark mountain forest, in the face of the beasts, the distance is still so close, it is almost impossible to turn around and escape. Such an obvious truth, naturally it was not only Ling Yan who saw it, but the other three should also know it in their hearts. However, Lian Rui still unconsciously retreated quickly, and the speed of retreat was obviously faster than Ling Yan, so that he was behind Ling Yan.

In ancient times, it was natural for a soldier to defend a general, and running behind the general was a very serious matter most of the time. Lian Rui has experienced the experience of being a guard soldier under a general like Colonel Zuo, so naturally he will not know this "rule". But maybe he was too frightened in his heart, forgot this rule, or was a conditioned reflex, and unconsciously retreated faster. However, in this crisis situation, not only Lian Rui himself, but also the other three people did not have the extra energy to pay attention to this "insignificant" problem.

The tense nerves made Ling Yan have no time to care about anything else, until Lian Rui sounded on his back with some frightened screams, Ling Yan turned around sharply as if frightened, only to see Lian Rui with his back to him, his body seemed to tremble slightly, and he looked stiff and stepped back - it was obvious that Lian Rui was frightened by the scene in front of him.

Ling Yan continued to look forward along Lian Rui's back, and instantly understood the source of Lian Rui's fear—not far in front of Lian Rui, several pairs of green demonic eyes appeared.

They were surrounded by wild beasts.

"Flame ...... General Yan ......" Lian Rui raised his trembling hand and pointed it in front of him.

Ling Yan didn't reply to Lian Rui's words, he quickly looked left and right, although it looked pitch black now, and it seemed that there was no "thing", but he knew in his heart that since the beast had set up an encirclement, there was no reason to leave such a big loophole, and there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

Ling Yan "took the time" to pay attention to the "open space" he had found before, and as he expected, they were now in the middle of this open space, just like actors standing in the center of the stage, and the "audience" around them were waiting to watch their "performance".

"General Yan, General Yan......" Lian Rui thought that Ling Yan hadn't heard his words, so he looked back at Ling Yan and shouted again in a trembling voice.

Ling Yan half-turned around and nodded at Lian Rui, meaning that he noticed the beast behind him.
