Cong Fei stood on the tree, raised his eyes and looked around, it was pitch black, and he could only wait patiently.

Kato and Shi Jieyu went to the side to inspect the situation, Kato held a simple torch to shine in front, and Shi Jieyu swept the ground with a soft sword.

Suddenly, when the two of them looked up, they only felt that their eyes were getting brighter and brighter

There was a thick darkness all around, and the torches could not illuminate too far, and there seemed to be a shining sphere coming towards him, because it was too dark to measure the distance, and the light could only be judged by the size of the light that was sometimes round and sometimes flat, and the light was getting closer and closer.

The two of them were surprised, Shi Jieyu couldn't help but be afraid, and leaned in the direction of Kato, "What is this?" ”

When they got a little closer, the two of them saw that it was just a formation formed by swarms of fireflies.

So many fireflies gathered together, like a huge lantern, illuminating a large area of the forest. As the fireflies moved, you could see where the light passed, and the strange trees were craggy and intertwined, and the fireflies flew past and then disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing so many fireflies for the first time, Shi Jieyu forgot about the danger for a while and exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that there is such a beautiful scenery in this deep mountain and old forest." ”

Kato was not disturbed by the beauty of the fireflies, and there seemed to be a movement in the grass more than a person tall in front of the fireflies just now. Of course, this is definitely not the movement of fireflies, because they are in the air. What's more, there seemed to be some light flickering in the dark place after the firefly, and it was only a matter of blink of an eye, if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't see it at all, but Kato noticed it, he didn't think it was a few lonely fireflies, because, he clearly saw that the light seemed to be being led by something.

His heart sank, and he hurriedly whispered to Shi Jieyu, "Don't move, there may be danger!" ”

He slowly raised his right arm, raised the torch higher, and then threw it in that direction with all his might, only to see that the place where the torch passed was reflected in the air, and the torch carried the sound of the wind, and swept over the firefly, which was frightened and immediately scattered.

At the same time, the two of them also saw clearly, not far from the grass, a monster with a sharp mouth and fangs was lying in place, and two eyes with green light were staring at the two people. Several slender tentacles swayed back and forth above the monster's head, and the light emitted from the ends, like fireflies if you didn't look closely.

Kato cursed fiercely, it turned out that this guy was using fireflies as a disguise, and the purpose was to sneak attack.

The torch then falls down on the monster's side, reflecting its size. The monster that was originally lying quietly in place was also disturbed by the torch, and got up at the same time as it was startled.

The torch landed and was extinguished.

The two men then turned around and ran back with all their might.

The monster hidden in the shadows no longer held back, roared, bowed out of the grass, and chased after the two.

Meishuang, who was leaning against the tree, suddenly appeared in the darkness with many stars, and they seemed to be in all directions, and she was surprised, "Where did these fireflies come from?" ”

Occasionally, a few flew in front of her, and they were so bright that Mei Shuang reached out to grab them, but they were empty.

An Riyan sneered, "You're really curious like a child, this thing might have a poisonous needle to stab you." ”

Meishuang hurriedly retracted her hand, sighed, and didn't want to look at An Riyan, who was ruining the atmosphere.

The coachman's brother couldn't hold his breath, "Why haven't you come back yet?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the grass in the distance, and then the panicked Kato and Shi Jieyu appeared in sight.

Behind them, the grass fell to the ground like a storm, and it was expected that something was coming after them.

Several people hurriedly beckoned them up the tree.

Hearing the call of their own people, the two men hurriedly climbed up the tree.

At the same time, the monster came to me like the wind, and by the fire in the ground, everyone gasped, I go, what is this floating boat-like thing?!

His swarthy fur was shiny, and although it resembled a wild boar, it was twice as large as the largest wild boar Mei Shuang had ever seen.

The head was flattened, and the sharp fangs were all exposed, shining in the firelight, and at first glance, it looked like the mouth of a crocodile, and the tentacles on the top of the head shone softly.

Seeing that the prey that was about to reach the mouth was about to fly, the monster was naturally unwilling, and actually came and stood upright with his legs, and arched upwards with his sharp fangs against Shi Jieyu, who was on the tree.

This is something that no one thought would be, and this monster would actually do this trick.

Shi Jieyu, who had already climbed the tree, thought it was safe, but she didn't expect the monster to stand up and add more than half a meter of fangs to Shi Jieyu's back and the gap in the package.

Shi Jieyu felt the hard fangs on her back, and she was suddenly frightened, and the people on the tree hurriedly came over to hold her.

The monster was very excited when it saw the prey, its fangs pulled back suddenly, Shi Jieyu suddenly swung her body from the tree, her legs were upside down and sandwiched on the tree, but her upper body was pulled backwards hard.

As long as the monster uses a little more force, Shi Jieyu will definitely not be able to support it.

Seeing this, Cong Fei hurriedly raised his knife and cut the package, the monster's center of gravity was lost, and the broken package fell heavily to the ground.

The water bladders and dry food in the package were spilled on the floor.

Shi Jieyu was so anxious that she shouted, "That's our rations and water for the next three days!" ”

"At this time, what are you still thinking about eating and drinking, hurry up." Meishuang said.

Everyone dragged Shi Jieyu up the tree with eight hands and feet, and saw that the monster couldn't catch people, so they spun in circles in place.

After being safe for the time being, listening to the frightened Shi Jieyu talk about what happened to Fang Cai, Mei Shuang exclaimed, "I heard that there is a kind of monkfish on the bottom of the sea, with a long whisker on the top of the head that shakes all day long as a bait to attract small fish to come to feed, and the result is that the monkfish is light and hungry. This guy is the monkfish of the ground! ”

It stands to reason that there are no jungle animals who are not afraid of fire, but this guy seems to enjoy the warmth of the fire, and actually lies down lazily near the fire.

Kato's running and the battle against the man-eating tree, the bandage on his back has also been torn off, and when Meishuang accidentally approached him, he felt that his back was oozing blood.

Meishuang asked An Riyan to light up the fire and asked Kato to change the gauze, but Kato said that he would not say anything, and had to wait until dawn.

Although there are monsters under the trees eyeing them, from another angle, they feel much safer, at least ordinary beasts dare not come to harass.

At least by the light of the fire, a few people saw with their own eyes that the little beast that came to forage for food was salivating at the dry food that fell in Shi Jieyu's bag, but they didn't dare to move forward.

As soon as the monster sneezed slightly, it was all frightened and walked away.

After a long time, I couldn't tell what time it was, so I could only guess that it was almost time by the moonlight overhead.

Zi Shi, which is said to be the dividing line between yin and yang, is also the time of the day when yin qi is the heaviest, and many abnormal phenomena always occur at this moment. When you go deep into the mountains at night, you can't help but believe this.

The six men had previously split into two groups, one group to begin resting and the other group to continue to keep watch. Therefore, after the previous group took a nap, they were softly shaken, and they were asked to be vigilant when they were young.

I don't know how long it took, but the flames of the fire slowly weakened, and the monster slowly got up from the ground as if it had woken up, first stretching, and then the tentacles on its head began to shake, and the end glowed like a firefly.

It first circled around the ancient tree where a few people were hiding, and then suddenly froze in place, the tentacles on its head shaking violently, as if to express something.

Everyone looked at each other nervously, wondering what had happened to the monster all of a sudden.

I saw it stay under the tree for a while, and suddenly it raised its crocodile-like tip and slammed into the ancient tree, this time it seemed to be just a head shake, but the power was huge, and the power even exceeded the strength of Xiong Zhen.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", the big tree was hit and trembled violently, and the dull sound made several people only feel that a shock wave came up from the bottom of the towering ancient tree, and the shock was so that they could barely support the trunk.

Meishuang simply moved her body more than half a meter away, but fortunately An Riyan next to her grabbed her, otherwise she would have to slide off the branch.

Mei Shuang was so shocked that she grabbed An Riyan's arm with her backhand, and hugged him so hard that she wouldn't let go.

To be honest, if she was really swallowed by the huge thing underneath, her small body would not have been able to stuff her teeth.

The coachman brothers had already looked around the tree for a while, and found that the old tree they were on was actually intertwined with the branches of the ancient tree next to them, and some of the thick trunks were even twisted together, so that it was easy to climb to another tree.

As soon as they heard that there was a door, everyone immediately prepared to retreat. After all, it is not a wise choice to focus on preserving the living force now, and fighting hard with the huge things underneath.

Fortunately, God helps everyone, just when everyone has no master, the originally dark sky does not know when the dark clouds will disperse, the moonlight through the top of the tree, the field of vision suddenly widens, and you can see the road ahead vaguely.

The monster below heard the movement in the trees and became sensitive, so they immediately launched a second attack.

This time, it was about the strength that Fang had just rested for a long time, and only heard the sound of "bang", this time it actually made the ancient tree shake violently from top to bottom, and the loud sound of "bang-la-la" was like a hurricane.

A few people looked back, this wind rate, really on that tree, I'm afraid that it would have fallen like a dumpling at this moment.

A few people didn't dare to slack off, they walked quickly and climbed forward with their hands and feet, and after leaving the ancient tree, they could still see the fire where the monsters circled around the ancient tree.

Suddenly, a fierce whirlwind blew on the ground, and a fishy smell came to the face.

It turned out that the fire that was about to be extinguished was driven by the whirlwind, and a flame rose into the air with a "suddenly".
