Chapter 288: Black-winged Monster
"Why do you say that?"
Han Ying asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
"Look at these corpses!" Du Mu's face was calm, motioning for everyone to look at the corpses, and then pointing to the wounds on them, and said in a deep voice, "Although there are traces of gnawing, there is not even a single piece of meat missing, isn't it strange?"
Cui Yaoqi and the others also reacted at this time, and they all showed sudden expressions.
Humans hunt wild beasts for some precious parts of the beast's body, and in the same way, wild beasts attack humans in order to obtain food, and most wild beasts include humans in their recipes, and non-carnivorous wild beasts are very rare.
And judging from the corpse in front of them, it is undoubtedly a wild beast with sharp canine teeth that killed them, this kind of wild beast is undoubtedly very absurd if it is said to be a non-carnivorous wild beast, what is it used to develop canine teeth if you don't eat meat?
"In this way, it is really possible that these monsters came from the ruins!" Han Ying raised his eyebrows.
There are all kinds of weird things in the ruins, and it's not surprising that canine-toothed monsters that don't eat meat appear.
Cui Yaoqi and Xu Qing's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"So there are really ruins in the Changge Mountain Range?" Xu Qing couldn't wait to ask.
It's a ruin, synonymous with treasure and wealth, and a target for countless adventurers.
"It's very likely!" Han Ying glanced at Du Mu, who had a calm face and couldn't see what he was thinking.
"Okay, anyway, we still have to stay in the Changge Mountains for a long time, and we have time to explore, so let's get here today, it's getting dark, let's find a place to spend the night first." ”
Everyone nodded, walked a little further, found a clearing with their backs against the mountain wall and stone piles on both sides, camped on the spot, took out supplies from their backpacks, and began to set up improvised tents.
Considering the problem of carrying weight, the materials that the adventure team can carry are limited each time they travel, so things like tents, at best, are only two, barely enough to sleep four people, and the remaining two are responsible for keeping vigil, and the six people are divided into three groups to take turns in shifts.
Du Mu and Cui Yaoqi were arranged as the first group of the vigil.
In order to prevent the demon ape from being attracted, there was no light source in the camp, and everyone hastily ate some food, and then Han Ying and a few people entered the tent to rest, while Du Mu and Cui Yaoqi sat side by side against the stone pile and sat on the ground.
The night in the valley is especially silent, even the roar of the day has disappeared, and when you look up, the starry sky is far brighter and more beautiful than what you see in the city.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Du Mu looked back, and Cui Yaoqi stared at the night sky intently.
"It's something you don't see in the city, and you can only see it in the wilderness. She looked at Du Mu with a smile on her face, "Beautiful scenery is also one of the joys of adventure!"
Du Mu nodded sympathetically.
"But adventurers are also very hard, often eat and sleep in the open, you are a student of Xingluo Academy, you have a great future, and you can choose a lot of good jobs after graduation in the future, even if you enter the army as an officer, it is easy, but you don't have to be an adventurer. ”
"Who can say what will happen in the future?" Du Mu shrugged, in fact, he never thought about what he was going to do in the future, since he got the dream adventure, whether it was himself or the surroundings, everything changed very quickly, and he recalled in a trance, the experience of more than a year was even more wonderful than his previous ten years combined, and it was really emotional.
In Xingluo Academy, most of the children of civilians like him have entered the federal army after graduation, and it can be said that it is a good choice to start as an officer, but Du Mu is not interested in the federal army, he does not like to be bound, in contrast, it is the adventurer who takes advantage of his heart.
Maybe you can be an adventurer who specializes in exploring ruins in the future?
Such a thought popped into Du Mu's mind.
Cui Yaoqi didn't know what he was thinking, smiled when she heard the words, and continued to tell the anecdotes she had encountered in her adventurous career, which opened Du Mu's eyes and listened with relish.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of rustling in a tent not far away, Du Mu and Cui Yaoqi turned their heads to look, Xu Qing was yawning and coming out of the tent, and behind him was Zhou Yang, who was expressionless.
"It's time to take over, big sister. Xu Qing rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked over and patted Du Mu on the shoulder, "Go rest, buddy." ”
Du Mu nodded, got up and entered the tent with Cui Yaoqi.
The wilderness environment is harsh, and it is not easy to carry a tent, so it is very normal for men and women among adventurers to sometimes sleep in a tent, and Du Mu does not have any charming thoughts.
Without entering the dream, Du Mu closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long it took, Du Mu opened his eyes suddenly, got up and sat up straight, pressed his palm on his chest, felt the uneasiness and palpitations that suddenly appeared in his heart, and frowned deeply.
"What's wrong?"
Cui Yaoqi on the side didn't sleep deeply, and the moment Du Mu sat up, she woke up.
Du Mu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "There is danger!"
He had always trusted his perceptions.
The words fell, and without waiting for Cui Yaoqi to react, Du Mu got up and got out of the tent.
Xu Qing and Zhou Yang, who were on vigil, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Du Mu coming out, Xu Qing was surprised: "What's the matter, Du Mu, the next vigil is the captain and Lao Song, why don't you sleep and come out?"
Du Mu didn't answer, but looked around with a solemn expression, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his foot and raised a white slashing wave, tearing the night sky like lightning towards a mountain wall shadow seven or eight meters away.
With a deafening roar, a black shadow burst out along with countless falling rubble, landing on the clearing.
Cui Yaoqi was walking out of the tent in confusion, and when she looked up, she saw a black shadow falling not far away, and she was immediately startled, and immediately pulled out the weapon in her hand.
On the other side, the tent was suddenly opened, and Han Ying and Song Dongbo, who were awakened by the sound outside, rushed out, their eyes fell on the black shadow in front of the camp, and their expressions suddenly changed.
It's a terrifying monster that looks like it's made of shadows!
Its size and height are similar to those of humans, except that it has a pair of wings as black as ink on its back, and its skin is as smooth as black jade, shining faintly in the moonlight.
Han Ying and the others couldn't help but gasp, they had never seen such a strange monster.
The monster's face had no facial features, and its face was pitch black, but everyone present could clearly feel that the monster was watching them.
Du Mu's gaze swept over the monster's black jade-like skin, and his heart was slightly abrupt, this was a monster similar to the black dog beast he saw during the day, most of them came from the ruins located in the depths of the Changge Mountain Range.
Just when everyone in the Flint Squad was on alert, the black-winged monster attacked brazenly.
