Fu Jixian squatted down, pinched a handful of hot and humid floating soil in his hand, and then gently twisted it with his fingertips.

By this time they had come to the middle of the dry woods.

"The outer lines are painted with lime, and there are some weird patterns in the middle that are supposed to be made of animal blood. I think this pattern was drawn at least a month ago...... Mr. Takeuchi, didn't you see this thing the last time you passed through here? ”

"No, it wasn't like that the last time I passed through this area. I couldn't have turned a blind eye to such a large dry area.

Also, why does Mr. Fu Jixian think it's animal blood and not ......"

"And not human blood? How could it be possible to get so much human blood under normal circumstances. Based on reasonableness, Fu Jixian used the elimination method to determine that the blood stains left at the scene were not human blood, and he had no way to directly identify the source of the blood.

"If Mr. Takeuchi hadn't noticed this before, at least the woods hadn't withered when you came last time. If it's all hidden in the middle of a forest, it's normal that you won't find out. ”

Fu Jixianli stood up, looking down at the strange circular pattern at his feet. The deserted forest, the abundance of blood, and the runes of unknown meaning all make one wonder if someone had performed some kind of elaborate, bloody, and evil ritual here not long ago.

As an embellishment, white skeletons are stacked at even distances on the outside of the circular pattern...... No wonder Fu Jixian didn't see the remains along the way, it turned out that they were all moved here.

It seems that he is right, there is indeed someone who is making trouble.

"Modern people tend to be like this, and the interesting thing is that they either have no faith, they don't believe in anything, they don't even follow basic moral values; Either they will believe in some nonsense, and the more in the age of science, the more anti-intellectual will become. ”

"What Mr. Fu Jixian means ...... Is this some kind of cult ritual? Will someone run into the mountains to do this kind of activity? Takeuchi asked.

He still remembers Fu Jixian's "performance" at home, and it always feels very awkward to say the word "science" from the mouth of such a person.

"Who knows, it's just possible."

As he spoke, Fu Jixian went to examine the surrounding bones again. "Is there your daughter in there", no matter how brainless he is, he can't ask this directly.

After turning around, Fu Jixian found that some of these bones were very complete and some were incomplete, but there was no doubt that they were all people who had been dead for a long time...... So clean skeletons are by no means recently dead.

"Let's move on, there's no point in studying this stuff as much as studying the so-called 'alien pattern.'" After only a short while, Fu Jixian said.

The main thing is that he can't study anything, so there's no point in staying here. If the appearance of this thing has any effect, it is mainly to pave some psychological preparation for his next journey.

"Hmm."

Wu Nei showed a somewhat concerned attitude towards the matter here, but he knew that Fu Ji Xianli's judgment was correct...... They shouldn't stay here and waste their time.

So they moved on.

And in the following journey, it may have been a premonition that what happened to them later, so everyone's mood was heavier, and the two became more and more silent.

After another three hours, Takeuchi stopped, pointing to a small pool of dark oil mire a little further away and said, "What I saw before was in that place, but now, as I feared, it has moved. ”

Fu Jixian didn't care about the slightest problem in the other person's words, he said, "So the next question is how to determine the direction of the thing's movement......

But before he could finish his sentence, a loud roar came from somewhere ahead.

There seemed to be a bit of pain in the anger in the roar...... It's not empty momentum, Fu Jixianli seems to feel some kind of emotional tear from it.

Even if it's a beast, it must have feelings...... Most of the time it is not as rich as humans, but sometimes it is even more real than humans.

"It's the cry of a brown bear, not far ahead!"

Fu Ji Xianli is just Ye Gong Haolong, and his judgment of this kind of thing is not as good as Wu Nei, who has been in and out of the forest for a long time...... In fact, there is nothing to judge, and the only large wild beast in this island country seems to be brown bears.

"Let's take a look."

Fu Jixian immediately thought of the brown bear they had seen last night, and then he immediately moved in that direction.

In the forest, the bear's ability and range of activity must be much higher than that of humans, even if Fu Jixian and Li have a clear direction and purpose, but it is definitely very simple for a bear to go around in front of them just by walking.

Fu Jixian walked briskly at first, but soon he began to speed up in a strange way...... It's like you're being pulled by something.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Takeuchi's field of vision, leaving behind only a row of trembling giant trees.

However, Fu Jixian is quick and fast, in fact, he is not "chic...... The man almost crawled like a bowling ball to the point where the sound was coming from.

When he stopped, he saw a brown bear not far away, and judging by its size, it was most likely the one he saw yesterday.

The bear lay low on the ground, its ass retreating and its head poking forward, all the while a menacing growl came out of its throat.

This indicates that it is very vigilant at this time, maintaining a strong desire to attack on one side, and unable to make actual attack movements due to instinctive fear on the other side.

Then Fu Jixianli's gaze followed the direction of the bear's head, and then ...... He saw what the bear was guarding.

There was a black mass on the ground that was constantly wriggling.

Neutral creeps?

Black slime?

Fu Jixian did not rush forward, he first used his strength to wrap around the brown bear's right hind leg, and then pulled it to his side like a dead dog.

However, even if Fu Jixianli did such a thing, the bear was still indifferent to it, it just kept its tail between its legs and was vigilant ahead.

Just as Fu Jixian dragged the brown bear, the monster seemed to immediately notice his movements, and saw it slowly stretch its body, turning from a lump into an upright form, and at the same time slowly "turned around".

Nearly three meters tall, it resembles a melted chocolate ice cream, with a deep black, fur like fur on which a disgusting hue lingers – reminiscent of a plague-spreading rat.

What's more, looking down from above, Fu Jixianli saw a pair of calves, then feet and shoes...... The monster grows on a pair of legs.

Or rather, this pitch-black thing envelops a person in it.

Slime? Wrong.

In an instant, a name that was particularly suitable for this thing emerged from Fu Jixianli's mind:

"The Pus ...... of Man"

Then, Fu Jixian Li followed by recalling countless battles with huge and strange monsters, with pathos and glory.

And the "only way" for different monsters summed up from these battles-

Mao Duo weak fire

The body is large and weak

Heavy armor and weak thunder

Fat weak chrysanthemum
