Chapter 174: Step In

No. 7's backpack was not lost, she had a compass to set the direction, so Song Qingxiao walked with her temporarily.

Perhaps due to the influence of psychological factors, Song Qingxiao always felt that there were a pair of eyes lurking in all directions of the forest, staring at him coldly.

After a moment's delay, the clouds in the sky piled up thicker, and the two of them were sweating profusely, and they couldn't tell if it was fear or the environment.

After leaving the forest, the sea breeze was 'whistling' and blowing, Song Qing shivered with excitement, clenched the dagger tightly, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

At this time, the cold dagger brought her a hint of relief.

Seven remained in his beastly form, jumping through the grass, keeping a close distance from her.

Her long black tail flicked nimbly in the air, and her four-clawed nails were spread out in a wary manner.

It doesn't look like a person in any way.

She has maintained the appearance of the beast for a long time, so long that Song Qingxiao began to doubt her.

If the mutation of the bloodline is Seven's ability, and it is her specialty to transform into a beast form to improve her abilities in all aspects, then is it because Seven's strength is deep enough to sustain her transformation for a long time, or has she lost control of part of her body and cannot change back to her previous appearance for the time being?

If it was the former, Song Qingxiao would have encountered a strong opponent in this trial, and he would be a little troublesome.

If it's the latter, then Seven's ability could spiral out of control for some reason.

When she was on the boat, her right hand was scratched by a mutant fish, and since she landed on the island, her right hand has been wrapped in gauze and has never been shown in front of people.

At that time, Song Qingxiao suspected that the island's creatures were infected, resulting in genetic mutations.

Could it be that at that time, No. 7 was injured by the strange fish, and he was already infected by the 'virus' in the strange fish's body, so there was a change?

"Do you feel that something is wrong?"

Song Qing pretended to have something in his heart, but No. 7 on the other side could not speak coldly.

As she spoke, the big cat-like head looked left and right, and the furry ears standing above her head trembled, and her back arched a little uneasily, as if she was a little annoyed.

"What do you mean?" Song Qingxiao couldn't help but ask when she heard her speak.

No. 7 wanted to speak and stopped, perhaps to guard against Song Qingxiao, but finally swallowed his worries back:

"I think the lab is too far away from the forest."

She didn't tell the truth, but even if she didn't say it, Song Qingxiao actually faintly felt that something was wrong.

The two of them chased No. 3 all the way from the dense forest to the direction of the laboratory, at least three or four kilometers away, but all the way to the present, they didn't even see half of the mutated creatures on the island, which was really abnormal.

'Boom', there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and in the thick clouds, lightning burst into sparks.

Seven took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, and before he could unscrew the cap, he poked his sharp nails into the bottle.

The water gushed out, and she seemed to be so hungry and thirsty that she couldn't wait to open her mouth to pick it up, and she didn't even care about her manners.

"How far do you think it is?"

She asked as she swallowed the water.

Excess mineral water splashed on Seven's face, and she looked like she was happy.

Song Qingxiao looked at her expression, and her eyes flashed:

"It should be almost there."

She had seen the bottom of the mountain when she was at the top of the mountain, where the lab was surrounded by trees and a hand-dug river across the sea.

Although this half of the island is large, the steps of the trialists are much faster than ordinary people, and without the drag of Mr. Zhou and the others, it will not take long for No. 7 and Song Qingxiao to rush to the research institute.

Sure enough, about two quarters of an hour later, a dense forest appeared in front of the two of them again, and the laboratory should be in this green forest.

Before he could get close to the woods, Seven subconsciously paused.

Song Qingxiao also looked up at the sky, and the clouds above him were getting thicker and thicker.

According to the time calculation, the group went up the mountain before dawn, and various events occurred after going down the mountain, and the death of No. 1 and the pursuit of No. 3 were delayed for a while, but at this time it was at most afternoon, and it seemed that it was close to evening at this time, and there was a feeling that night was coming, and darkness might replace the oppressive feeling of light.

Under the sultry air, the sea water transpires and forms a faint mist, which hangs over the trees and floats slowly.

The dark green woods have no end in sight, and the ink color makes people's hearts heavy.

"This scene is like the residence of the big demon in a horror comic I read before."

No. 7's throat was astringent, and her heart was beating wildly, as if to alleviate this slightly weird atmosphere, she even made a joke, but she didn't get a response from Song Qingxiao.

She instinctively turned her head, and saw Song Qingxiao bending down and picking up an unknown weed, pulling as if she was looking for something.

"What are you looking at?"

No. 7 rolled his eyes, took two steps in the direction of Song Qingxiao, and asked.

"Number Three should have been here." Song Qing pushed aside some of the half-human-high grass, revealing some grass vines below, where there were fresh traces of being trampled on.

"How do you know it's Three? Probably a mutated creature on the island. When No. 7 heard her say this, he was a little unconvinced, and he talked to her neither soft nor hard, and Song Qingxiao didn't bother to say more to her.

Number Three has a cautious personality, and the traces left behind are covered with grass as much as possible, but it is precisely because of this that her whereabouts are even more exposed.

At present, it seems that the danger of half of the island on the other side of this mountain wall is not below the other side, and even surpasses it, although Song Qingxiao has not found any traces of mutated creatures for the time being, but the creatures living on these islands must be like overlords by now.

They operate in their own territory, and there is no need to disguise them in this way.

Only No. 3, who wants to delay as much time as possible and hide from Song Qingxiao and No. 7, who is preparing to pursue her, will do more.

After Seven's questioning, she also realized that she had asked a stupid question, she stretched out her red tongue and slowly licked her lips:

"Now that I've found No. 3, catch up with her first and get the box!"

Song Qingxiao bowed his head slightly and stepped into this wood.

The mist that lingered in the forest parted slightly, silently enveloping the two people who had broken into the hinterland.

Although he had never encountered danger before, this did not mean that Song Qingxiao could relax his guard.

On the contrary, from the moment she stepped into this forest, she always had an uncomfortable feeling of being shrouded in death.

The temperature in the woods was much cooler than outside, and when it was outside, it was already dark, and when you entered the woods, the dense foliage of the treetops kept out the already dim light.

The muffled thunder in the sky seemed to hit the ears, and suddenly a lightning bolt pierced the clouds, and then a 'boom' thunder fell, shaking the ground and trembling.

Seven's face changed and he quickened his pace.

Song Qingxiao didn't dare to stay, after entering this forest at this time, the light was dim, coupled with the upcoming rainstorm, so that the two of them were inevitably a little affected.

After about ten minutes, the shadow of a white building finally appeared in the gap between the trees.

"There...... "Seven rejoices," "it's a lab!" ”

The laboratory that Mr. Zhou and others were eager to arrive at and regarded as a life-saving place finally revealed the tip of its iceberg.

The thunder above her head was even more intense, and the reason why Seven was happy was not only that it was possible that Number Three had already arrived here first, with the silver box containing the evolution potion she had dreamed of, but it was more likely that the strange atmosphere of this dense forest had already made her feel uneasy, and the human buildings had finally relieved her tense nerves.
