It had been almost five days since Xiao Si had been in this blood-red grassland, and after the sacrifice of the young man with the severed hand on the first night, their group of only 21 people had encountered several different beast attacks.

Although there are a lot of them, those beasts are really more than a star and a half stronger than them, and they can only run away when they meet them.

It's just that although he escaped with all his might, after all, manpower is sometimes poor, and not every time he can escape smoothly.

These days, five of the twenty-one people died on the way to escape...... Ten more were injured in varying degrees of severity......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At night again, the sixteen people who survived sat around the fire, and although everyone was very tired, they did not dare to relax and rest, because here there might be danger in the next moment, and in order to survive, everyone would not take it lightly.

"It doesn't look like it's going well......"

Xiao Si looked around at the faces of the other fifteen people, although there was no hint of relaxation, but everyone inevitably had a little frustrated expression on their faces...... Because they are lost in this steppe. The endless grassland is now really difficult to distinguish between the east, the south, the west, and the northwest, and it is difficult to find the stars even in the sky.

Because the food is all in the organizers, so there is no food in their team at all, although the cultivators of the Xuan Pagoda have a certain ability to resist hunger, but it is not possible to skip meals after all, they can only eat grass these days......

"We all have to live no matter what!" Xiao Si stood up, "The reason why we are gathered here is so that those who are important to us can have a good meal! They must be waiting for us to go back! So we must go back alive!"

"Yes, we're going back alive!"

"Mom and Dad are waiting for me to go back!"

"I don't have a girlfriend yet, how can I die here?"

Looking at the appearance of everyone, Xiao Si was also relieved in his heart, whether he could go back alive or not to be honest He didn't have any idea in his heart, but looking at the previous low morale, Xiao Si felt that he had to say something to boost morale.

Xiao Si smiled slightly and walked to the side.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the ...... pee"

Xiao Si walked to a place where no one was paying attention, of course he didn't come to urinate.

Xiao Si squatted down and looked at it carefully.

"...... here"

What Xiao Si was looking for was something like a tree root sticking out of the ground.

It was the same as the root that had tripped him a few days earlier, but again, there were no shrubs in the vicinity that would grow roots.

Xiao Si has seen such roots several times these days, although they were all accidentally discovered when he was escaping, and he didn't have time to check them carefully, but at least he can be sure that there are no shrubs around.

Now it's rare to have time to observe carefully, reaching out and touching it, Xiao Si feels that this tree root, I don't know if it's not, although it looks like a tree root, but its surface is very smooth, not at all the feel that a tree root should have.

"Why are there so many such things in such a large grassland?"

Even if you encounter it once or twice, but in just a few days, you have run a large range in order to escape, and you have encountered it so many times, so it can almost be speculated that this thing is almost all over this blood-red grassland......

"Could it be that the reason why this grassland is blood-red has something to do with these tree roots?" Xiao Si came up with such a bold idea, but this was just speculation, and there was no actual evidence.

"No matter how you look at it, this grassland is not simple......"

A horrible bunch of beasts, blood-red grass, strange roots everywhere...... This steppe seems to be hiding some big secret. And those organizers, I'm afraid they came to explore those secrets, but they were understaffed and didn't dare to rush to come, so they recruited young people who didn't know the situation.

"These guys just want to use us and throw ...... away"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

A man walked over.

"It's nothing...... Xiao Si stood up, "What's the situation?"

"Somebody found something, come and take a look. "That's human.

"Good. Xiao Si followed the man to a nearby place, and by this time everyone had gathered here, several of them had torches in their hands, and the light of the fire illuminated everyone's face, and almost everyone had fear on their faces.

"Not good...... Looks like something amazing has been found......"

The morale that had finally been boosted now seemed to be low again.

"What's wrong?"

"Come and see for yourself......" said a man with a torch in a trembling voice.

Xiao Si squeezed into the innermost part of the crowd, and by the light of the fire, Xiao Si could also see clearly what it was, and on the ground surrounded by everyone, there was a huge beast footprint......

How huge? Even two young men like them would have no problem lying in it.

It's no wonder that everyone is afraid, although everyone escaped under all kinds of beasts before, but the largest beast they encountered before was only the size of two people. But now this footprint is just a footprint, and it is already bigger than two people, so how big is it...... Everyone dared not imagine that under such a fierce beast, would they still have a chance to survive?

Xiao Si also fell silent, although he really wanted to pull everyone back from this low atmosphere, but at this time he really couldn't think of any other way to boost morale, and there was a fear rising in his own heart......

"Go back ......," the little four pretended to be calm, "go back to the fire, even if you gather here and watch, it's useless......"

"yes......"

"Let's get through the night first......"

Everyone did not hide the uneasiness in their hearts.

Back at the fire, the crowd sat quietly by the fire and did not speak, and a shadow of fear hung over the crowd.

"Can I really go back alive this time?" Xiao Si came out this time, and he always firmly believed that he would definitely go back alive to see Zhou Shan, Lin Yi, and Li Er, but at this time, Xiao Si had already shaken his belief in himself......

"Bastard!"

A roar broke the silence.

One of the young men jerked to his feet.

Everyone else looked at him.

"I shouldn't have been greedy for those five kilograms of food, and ended up in such a dangerous place!"

"Yes, I'm being caught!"

"If I get out alive, I must take revenge on the organizers!"

......

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and after one person erupts, others also erupt...... As the saying goes, emotions are contagious.

People always complain about their bad background, how bad their lives are, and how bumpy their fate...... Anyway, it's all kinds of weird stories.

"Enough!"

Xiao Si suddenly shouted with Xuan Qi, and his voice covered everyone's voices.

Everyone was frightened by his voice and looked at him.

"I understand your feelings, but is it useful at this time? We are trapped here now, instead of complaining here, we should find a way to live!" Xiao Si said coldly, "Moreover, you are discussing so loudly, aren't you afraid of attracting some fierce beasts?"

"Uh...... You have a point. A young man next to Xiao Si patted Xiao Si on the shoulder, "But speaking of being loud, isn't the roar you used to use Xuan Qi just now even bigger?"

"Forehead......" Xiao Si also looked embarrassed, just in order to bluff everyone, but he forgot about this.

"Okay, okay, we understand. The young man also smiled, "Isn't it okay if we don't quarrel?"

Xiao Si sat down and said, "Let's talk about everyone's opinions, maybe you can find any good ideas from them." ”

"I'll start with that. "I think we can try to find other people and meet with other people, so that it will be safer if there are more people, especially to find those organizers, they should have a certain understanding of the situation here, and follow them ......." ”

"I don't think it'...... right," Xiao Si immediately vetoed, "The reason why we have fallen into this situation is completely because of those organizers, I think in their eyes, we are abandoned children who can give up when they are in danger, and if we find them, I am afraid that we will be pitted even worse." ”

"Makes sense. Everyone else echoed Xiao Si's opinion.

"We can identify a direction and keep moving forward, there will always be an end to this grassland, and we will definitely get out if we keep moving forward. ”

"You're thinking too simply. Xiao Si shook his head, "We don't know which side is deep into the grassland, and which side is the border to the grassland, if we accidentally walk towards the depths of this grassland, then we will encounter more dangers." Moreover, in the absence of a directional goal, people do not walk in a straight line, and they do not know where they will go......"

Although most people don't understand, there are still some who do, and just nod slightly.

The crowd fell silent again, because they really felt that there was a good way.

"You ......" Someone was about to ask Xiao Si to say his opinion, but before he could say it, Xiao Si stretched out his hand and asked him not to speak.

Xiao Si leaned his ears on the ground and listened carefully.

"Quick! Extinguish the fire!" Xiao Si hurriedly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

Although the people were puzzled, they did it anyway.

"There was a heavy footstep...... "Xiao Si whispered, "there was a heavy footstep...... To this extent, it seems that he is the owner of that huge footprint. ”

Hearing that it was the owner of the huge footprints, cold sweat broke out behind everyone's backs, and they all shut up.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

In the quiet night of the prairie, the sound of heavy footsteps is especially clear.

In the distance, a pitch-black, huge beast figure was slowly moving......
