Chapter 16: A Cruel World (Support!) ) 

"Brother, this is for you!"

Just as Meng Yang was talking to the female shooter, a weak voice suddenly sounded next to him.

Standing beside Phoenix, a thin little girl with blond hair and slightly dark skin timidly walked up to him, holding a piece of melon fruit like a steamed sweet potato in her hand and handing it to Meng Yang.

"We have limited food." Female shooter Phoenix said apologetically, "You can follow Xiao Anqi and find a place to rest for the night." ”

"Thank you!"

Meng Yang nodded in gratitude, he had been able to imagine the human situation here since he entered the City of Despair.

After leaning down over the steamed melon and fruit in the little girl's hand, Meng Yang followed the little girl named Anqi to a small room made of simple wooden planks in the fortress and sat down.

The little girl named Anqi did not leave, but looked at Meng Yang with big round eyes, and saw that Meng Yang was looking at a certain melon and fruit steamed in her hand, and the little girl smiled next to her and made a gesture of how to eat.

"Brother, you have to do this, first peel off the outer skin, and then slowly eat the meat inside."

"Is that so?"

Meng Yang saw that the little girl's movements were cute, and smiled and learned from the other party to remove the burnt outer layer of the outer layer, revealing the white flesh inside.

With a burst of fragrance, Meng Yang first handed the melon and fruit in his hand to the little girl, but the little girl shook her head one after another, signaling Meng Yang to eat it herself.

Meng Yang smiled suddenly, since he came to this other world, the absurdity and confusion in his heart seemed to have been alleviated a little at this moment.

He lowered his head and silently nibbled on this unknown steamed melon fruit, the taste was much stronger than the unknown plant roots he ate in the wilderness, a bit like pumpkins and potatoes, the total portion was not much, and Meng Yang ate it in three or two clicks.

Watching Meng Yang finish the food in his hand, the little girl showed a sweet smile next to her, and then trotted and turned her head away.

Meng Yang looked at the back of the little girl after leaving, and then glanced at the gathering place in the entire fortress, the sky was getting dark, and the people gathered in the fortress didn't seem to have much communication and speech, revealing a different kind of cold silence.

With his hands on his head, Meng Yang lay down on a rough wooden plank, and at this moment he could feel the tiredness in his body and the panic in his heart.

"Maybe I should summon those players, even if it's just a chat!"

Meng Yang sighed silently, it was only a short day since he crossed over, but in this day, he felt as if a long time had passed.

In the end, Meng Yang still didn't use the summoning elves in his mind, the current situation was quite safe, and more importantly, the fatigue and nervousness of the day were more than a day, and at this time, he suddenly relaxed, and the tiredness and sleepiness that surged up like a tide could not be resisted at all.

Meng Yang, who was in a daze, didn't know how long he had been asleep, and suddenly a strong feeling of heart palpitations floated, which made him wake up from his sleep all of a sudden.

Meng Yang sat up almost immediately, and then he saw a huge figure leaping down above the dim fortress.

Almost at the same time, the entire quiet fortress suddenly moved, and a clattering sound like gongs and drums suddenly sounded.

After hearing the strong symphony of gongs and drums, the huge black shadow also let out a roar, which sounded like rolling thunder, and even drowned out the piercing sound of gongs and drums for a moment.

"That's ......"

Many torches lit up in the dim fortress. Meng Yang then saw the huge black shadow clearly in the light of the torches around him, and subconsciously wanted to shout, but he couldn't speak at all for a while.

It was a giant beast about two meters tall at the shoulders and five meters long, the appearance of the giant beast was somewhat similar to the lion tiger that Meng Yang knew, but it was larger and stronger, and its long, sharp fangs were exposed, and it was swirling among the torches lit up around it.

"Sawtooth Tiger!"

"The Sawtooth Tiger is coming!"

The surrounding drum noise kept ringing, and behind every torch, Meng Yang saw either old people or women holding gongs and iron utensils, constantly making noise, as if they were using this noise to drive away this beast that broke into the fortress.

Looking at their skillful movements, Meng Yang could imagine that this was by no means the first time that this had happened.

But in an open area in the middle of the fort, the sawtooth tiger had no intention of leaving, although disturbed by the noise.

Boom!

At that moment, a bowstring shook in the midst of a cacophony of noise, and a feathered arrow shot out from one side and shot towards the Sawtooth Tiger.

The feathered arrow was extremely fast, but it was clearly not aimed at the vital point of the sawtooth, but only shot at the muscles of the sawtooth's shoulder.

The sharp pain caused the sawtooth tiger to roar violently, as if to leap up, but then—

Boom!

Another sound of bowstring vibrating.

A feathered arrow flew down and landed on the ground not far in front of the sawtooth tiger, and the front end of the feather arrow directly sank into the ground, only the tail feathers at the back end still trembled.

The sawtooth tiger looked at the feathered arrows on the ground, and then looked at the position where the arrows flew in the distance, and let out a roar unwillingly, as if he was a little afraid of the feathered arrows.

Another feathered arrow landed next to the giant paw of the sawtooth tiger, causing the giant beast to take two steps back, and another roar sounded, and the sawtooth tiger, which was comparable to a business car, shook its huge head, and began to twist around and prepare to leave with some reluctance.

"Be careful!"

Just as Meng Yang and the others were holding torches, they thought that the sawtooth tiger was about to leave, but the giant beast suddenly jumped towards an empty place in the middle of the fortress, opened its mouth and bit down, and instantly picked up a figure and quickly jumped up the wall of the fortress.

After that, two more bowstrings sounded, landing on the spot where the sawtooth tiger had just set foot, but it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, the sawtooth tiger jumped up the wall and disappeared into the distance.

Meng Yang only felt chills all over his body, compared to the pig-headed man he had encountered before, and the dangers he had only encountered such as the flower-backed spider, or being besieged by the jackals, he saw the cruel side again.

In the torches lit around, everyone looked at what had just happened, and there was no crying, no panic, only silence.

The invasion of darkness has forced everyone to get used to it.

"Heighten the guard!"

The calm voice of the female shooter Phoenix sounded in the night.
