When everyone had calmed down, a man with a sincere face calling himself "Bishop" stood up and prayed for the dead all over the land. Sonya, who was also a believer, also prayed softly for the deceased.

The traveler and Xiao Yan lit two bonfires together away from the corpses, and the exhausted people sat down by the campfires in silence.

"No one should leave the campfire." The traveler looked around, "We don't know anything about this forest, there may be some danger in the dark, be careful." ”

"Let's take a break and set off along the trail early tomorrow morning." Xiao Yan stood up, "Let's arrange a night sentry, in pairs, every hour in turn." Never go it alone. ”

After 22 people are divided into groups, they can still ensure adequate rest.

Xiao Yan arranged himself to be on duty at two o'clock in the middle of the night, when people were the most sleepy, Xiao Yan felt that he was the most reliable.

After entering this world, the depths of everyone's consciousness are marked with something called a spatial mark, from where you can retrieve the previous battle records and set the viewing time. Although there was no alarm clock, Xiao Yan, who had always been vigilant, woke up by himself when the time was approaching.

After checking the time through the plane seal, Xiao Yan found that it was time for him to be on duty.

Sonia was on guard duty with him, but the girl hadn't woken up yet. Xiao Yan glanced at the delicate beauty who was still asleep, and felt that she was enough alone, so she didn't wake her up.

Speaking of waking up, why didn't the previous wave of people on duty at night come to remind themselves?

Xiao Yan's heart suddenly tightened, raised his shield, pulled out his iron axe, and was nervously vigilant.

The night was quiet, except for the crackling of the fire and the slight snoring. The two night watchmen were completely gone.

Damn it!

There was not a sound around, not even the sound of insects.

This is a wild forest, how can there not be a trace of insects and birds! Xiao Yan hurriedly woke up the traveler and the bishop, these two were more reliable, and then went to push Galadia.

"I can't eat anymore~ Bring me some dessert after dinner!" The girl rolled around with her head in her hands and fell asleep.

……

"Don't talk about such a classic dream! Get me up! Xiao Yan found her good friend Mars and patted her on the head, "Good boy Mars is all up!" ”

"It hurts!"

Galadia struggled to sit up, rubbed her long, unkempt hair with her hands, and straightened out her hair.

"Is the sentry man missing?" The traveler cautiously looked around, "There is no sign of them. ”

"The darkness here is very evil and cold." The bishop said, and when he noticed that the others were looking at him with inexplicable eyes, he added: "A kind of cold, damp darkness like that of a grave, and I can even feel the darkness seeping into my bones after leaving the fire." ”

"Well, it's so cold to leave the campfire." Galadia nodded. Xiao Yan felt that her teeth were chattering when she spoke, but it didn't seem to be just because of the cold.

"We're not sure how long they've been missing, but it seems safer to stay by the fire if there's any danger." Xiao Yan was not afraid of ghosts and gods, but the feeling of not knowing where the danger was still made him very uneasy.

"Isn't this an option? We need to rest for the next day. The traveler said, shaking his head.

Xiao Yan nodded and agreed: "Adjust the order of night duty, Jialadiya and I will keep vigil first, and you will rest first, and change every two hours." ”

But there seemed to be something terrible entrenched in the inky shadows away from the campfire, which made the night watchman shudder from the bottom of his heart, and the rest of the night was spent in an eerie silence. At a certain distance from the campfire, lying several corpses left behind by the dusk battle makes people feel terrible to think about.

Xiao Yan and Galadia were on the first sentry, and something seemed to be watching them in the silent darkness. Galadia looked nervous, looking around with a high degree of concentration.

"As long as you don't fall asleep on the night shift, you can last a long time." Xiao Yan shook his head speechlessly and patted the grass beside him, "Sit down, if you run out of energy and fall asleep, you will be in trouble." ”

"Two people are missing! If some monster comes to attack us, won't we be over! Galadia grabbed her bow and arrows, "Aren't you afraid of such a strange situation?" ”

"Ah~ha~ You're scared!" Xiao Yan had an epiphany.

"Humph!" The girl glared at him, but still came over and sat back to back with Xiao Yan. After holding on like this for a while, Xiao Yan felt his back sink, and turned his head to find that the girl had fallen asleep on his back on her side.

"Are you an elementary school student...... I was sleepy when I was done. Xiao Yan complained in his stomach.

After less than an hour, there was a clattering sound in the silent forest, like the crash of a skeleton with only bones as it walked, and like an animal moving through the forest stirring the grass and gravel.

Xiao Yan hurriedly woke up the contractors one by one, and the 20 people were half-asleep and half-awake vigilantly, and the sound of clattering was getting closer and closer, and there were more than one place.

"What's going on?"

"Are we surrounded?"

Strange noises appeared in all directions, and the frightened crowd crowded around the fire.

"Shhh...... Yes! A strange bark sounded beside them, and everyone looked over in amazement, only to see a black figure the size of a small dog emerge from the darkness and pounce towards the crowd.

When they got closer to the campfire, they found that this black thing had a round body with six legs and a pair of large pincers, covered with long black hair, and a large mouth that took up half of the area of the torso......

A giant black spider.

At the same time as this thing appeared in his field of vision, a piece of information poured into Xiao Yan's consciousness.

"Jumping spiders. Race: Arachnids. Attributes: Strength 2, Agility 2, Stamina 3.

Special ability: Jumping Flutter, the well-developed limbs allow the jumping spider to jump up to 2 meters away after charging. ”

The sudden hint appeared in Xiao Yan's field of vision, like words suspended in the air.

The girls who saw the spider screamed together, and the ugly stuffed thing like a spider is usually very scary, but now the big one is the same as a puppy, and it would be nice not to scare a few on the spot.

The traveler quickly pulled out a thick stick from the campfire and struck at the spider. He has encountered similar situations in the field quite a few times, and this shot really did not have a trace of hesitation.

The flaming stick struck the spider, knocking it for a moment, and then opening its huge mouthparts and letting out a "hiss...... Yes! And he pounced.

The traveler flashed to the side, raised his stick and slammed it, the flames burning the hair on the spider's body, and the little monster screamed and rolled over and died.

"It's alright!" The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and someone said in a relaxed tone, "It's easy to deal with." ”

"Shhh...... Yes! As soon as he finished speaking, a creepy hiss sounded nearby, accompanied by a burst of sluggling sounds, and a large group of spiders emerged from the shadows.

The crowd screamed, and the brave men took out their weapons and fought the spiders, and the timid desperately pushed into the crowd, and even two men screamed and fled into the darkness.

"Don't leave the campfire!" Xiao Yan and the traveler shouted at the same time, but they couldn't stop the two who fled away.

Galadia opened her bow and fired an arrow, but instead of hitting the spider that was close at hand, it caught its attention and lunged at the girl. Galadia didn't have time to shoot the second arrow, so she panicked and stepped back, but accidentally stepped on a tree root and tripped and fell to the ground.

"Shhh...... Yes! The spider bounced up like a spring and threw itself at the girl's face.

Xiao Yan took a step sideways and blocked it with a round shield, and the spider slammed into the shield with a bang, and spun around twice on the ground dizzily. Xiao Yan caught up in one step, raised the axe and chopped. Xiao Yan's base attack reaches 18 points (10 strength + 8 agility), and combined with the one-handed axe with 3-7 attack power, the damage of a single attack is between 21-25.

This chops open the spider's skin, revealing white flesh and green juice. Xiao Yan didn't know what else they had to do, so he slashed three times in a row, chopping the spider into pieces.

"It's not hurt!" Xiao Yan turned her head to look at the girl who was sitting. Galadia was frightened, and looked at Xiao Yan dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

There was a scream from the crowd, and the spiders would jump up and down on their target's face and body as they approached. This move completely frightened the contractors.

"Don't panic! They don't hurt to bite! The bishop smashed one spider and ripped the other off himself, tearing off a piece of flesh with him.

Although several people had been thrown to the ground, Xiao Yan saw that they were not bitten badly, but only some flesh wounds. These weird spiders have a noticeable pause before taking off, which can be avoided with caution.

Several people who were able to maintain their composure shot in succession and killed the spiders one by one. Galadia also recovered a little, and she deftly avoided a lunging spider and poked the tip of her longbow so hard that she broke several of the spider's black hairy legs.

As time went on, more and more contractors calmed down, and they continued to kill these black-haired spiders. But after the spider corpses on the ground reached a certain number, these weird monsters suddenly receded like a tide.

Looking at the spider corpses all over the ground, the contractors only felt creepy, and there was no joy of victory.

"Two people less." The traveler said after counting the number of people.

When they were attacked, two people ran into the darkness in a panic and never returned.

"What the hell is in the dark?" The traveler looked out into the boundless darkness beyond the light of the campfire.

"These spiders aren't very strong, but they're enough to cause chaos for us." Xiao Yan picked up a hacked spider and said, "Perhaps, they were just used to drive us into the darkness. ”

"No darkness can exist in the light, no matter how mighty." The Bishop added some more twigs to the campfire, "We don't have to worry about that strange threat until the campfire is extinguished. ”

After a while, the contractors who were left with only 18 people felt that there was nothing to do, so they could only arrange for the sentry posts to be laid off again and rest separately.

In addition to the two missing people, seven or eight other people were injured in the attack, but none of the wounds were serious. The data-based body quickly stopped bleeding and began to heal, which is also a rare piece of good news.

Until sunrise the next day, there were no new attacks in the darkness. In order to complete the task, and at the same time to get rid of this strange forest as soon as possible, the group hurriedly set off on the mountain path.
