Finally, Bo Li calmed down the old lady's emotions and helped the other party to sit aside and rest. Then under her soft questioning, the other party slowly told everything that happened.

It all started three days ago. On that day, as a member of the old hunters in the village, the son of the old lady, Dashan, went to hunt in the mountains and forests west of the village as usual.

It's autumn and winter, and it's a good time to hunt.

Just as many animals store food in the fall for the harsh winter. As an old hunter, he also has to say that when his hands and feet are still convenient, he can make some reserves for his family.

Bidding farewell to the old mother at home, he smiled and pinched the cheek of his sleeping little son, and he skillfully put on a pair of tools on his back and stepped out of the house.

And then......

When the sun set that day, the sky was getting dark, and the other villagers who had gone out had returned one by one, there was only one person missing, and that person was Dashan.

By the time the Dashan family realized that something was wrong, the sky was almost completely dark. And at this point, no matter how anxious they are, it will no help.

How terrifying and dangerous the mountains and forests are at night, as long as people with a little common sense can understand one or two. Especially in such a world, in such an era, all kinds of strange and strange stories that have been passed on by everyone are all genuine.

The day and night change, yin and yang are divided, and that is the time when all the spirits lurking in the mountains and rivers are carnivaling.

There is no shelter in the village, there is no crowd to gather, a single small human being, not to mention all the strange and barren, even the fierce beasts that come out of the day and night can easily tear them into their stomachs.

Therefore, in this era, even the most seasoned hunters in these villages will try not to spend the night in the mountains and forests. Even if it is necessary to travel long distances, it must be done by a crowd.

And now, the sky is dark, but the mountain that traveled alone is still not returned.

No matter what it was, whether it was delayed for a while, or whether it was lost for a while, or whether it really happened to him, his family at this time had no choice but to continue to wait anxiously.

This kind of time is really impossible to break into the vast mountains to find people.

As a result, they waited with the only remaining hope, but they waited until the next day, and no one returned.

At this time, they could no longer hold on to their last hope, and went door to door to ask for help, hoping that those who were also hunters in the village could help search for the whereabouts of the mountain.

In this regard, those hunters will not shirk. They all agreed, and they were ready to go to the mountains to find someone together.

It's not that all of them are so self-sacrificing and noble. It's just that in such an era and in such a village, even if there is any contradiction between them, it is no bigger than the contradiction of survival.

In this vast underground, in the endless desolation, as the human race of all spirits is almost the weakest, if they do not unite all the forces that can be united, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive in this general trend of all things competing for the current.

That's why there are tribes, there are villages, there are towns, there are states. The power of humanity is the power of the multitude, and nothing more.

As people in the same village, solidarity and mutual assistance are the mainstream and the norm. Even if there are occasional countercurrents, they are only insignificant cases, and it is difficult to reverse the general trend.

So the hunters from the village came together. After discussing and preparing, they then set out in groups of three and two to find people in the mountains and forests to the west of the village.

However......

In the evening of the same day, the Dashan family stood anxiously at the entrance of the village waiting for the returnees, and every time they met a small group of hunters, they quickly stepped forward to ask.

One shook his head, two shook his head, and three shook his head......

More and more teams returned, but it was still fruitless, and the Daiyama family, who had been waiting for them, became more and more desperate.

When it was completely dark, there was no team back. Everyone gathered together, looked at each other and shook their heads. It's been a whole day, so many people, but I can't find even a clue, it seems that there is really a lot of luck.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "What about the Tanaka people, why didn't you see them come back!?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly began to examine it carefully.

"Did they go home first?"

"No way, I should have been the first to return to the village, and I have been waiting here. But I never saw Tanaka's team. ”

"How so?"

"What about Inoue, did any of you see them? Inoue, respond when I am there! ”

"Kobayashi, is Kobayashi there?"

Panic began to creep in, and everyone began to call out familiar names. Some found it, but some shouted and couldn't get a reply.

After everyone had thoroughly counted them, the panic finally detonated. Just because, in the hands of the people they went out this time, three teams disappeared completely.

Not in the village, not returning. As if they were like yesterday's mountains, they stepped into the mountains and forests outside the village, and never returned.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and some people in the panicked crowd looked out of the village, trying to look out, and shouted the names of the people who had not returned.

But it was in vain, even if they knew it was a pointless move. But in the panic, even if it was futile, they couldn't help but want to do something, just to be able to stop being so frightened.

Looking in the direction of the mountain forest outside the village, with the thin moonlight, you can vaguely see the outline of the mountain forest. The scene that should have been used to seeing it for a long time gradually became distorted in the eyes of everyone at this moment.

The pitch-black mountain forest seemed to turn into a huge open mouth, and the swaying trees became the sharp teeth of the dogs.

Call...... Call...... Call......

It was the breathing of the behemoth monster waiting for the food to come to the door, the breath of the behemoth that was about to choose a person to eat.

It was silently opening its jaws, waiting for the lost food to fall into it, and then swallowing the food into its stomach without leaving any flesh behind.

"Woo... Woo...... Woo-" Fear seeped into people's hearts like a deepening chill, and finally, before being completely frozen by the deep cold, someone gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Quick, quick, go find Genjimi-sama!!"

An exclamation seemed to pull people out of fear. Everyone suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the heart again, and they all responded: "Yes, yes, yes, go find Lord Yuan Zhiguang!" Something is wrong! ”

"Something is wrong!"

"And Haruka-sama too!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up, let's go together!"
