Chapter Seventy-Four: The Four-legged Snake with a Human Face

The fight did not start, but everyone and the group also drifted away, and the two sides were reluctant to get together again.

On one side, it is me, Wang Sheng, and Liu Wei.

On the other side, there was a group of people gathered around Zhu Tianfu, there were more than 20 of them, close to 30 people.

Looking at Zhu Tianfu's appearance, he seemed to be a little hesitant, whether to choose our side or the side with many people.

From the point of view of his heart, he felt that it would be better to choose our side.

But intellectually, it would be better to choose the side with a lot of people.

Just when we decided to part ways, Xiangshiyun joined us.

"Don't look, do you need to talk about it? They all blame me for bringing them here, and the monsters they just met, do you think I can still be with them? After Xiangshi Yun sneered, he smiled bitterly.

We didn't say much, but acquiesced in his joining.

"That monster just now really looks like a fishman!" Wang Sheng couldn't help but say, glanced at Xiangshiyun again and asked, "I don't believe it, there is nothing spread among you nobles?" ”

After Wang Sheng finished speaking, the three of us all looked at Xiang Shiyun and waited for each other's answer.

Xiangshi Yun sighed and replied: "Alas, it seems that it can't be hidden!" ”

Then he seemed to be organizing his words, and was silent for a moment, then continued: "In fact, all of our families are the same, and it is true that they are not allowed to listen to these things.

But every family has selfish intentions, and they will keep some secrets that they know.

But it's all passed on by word of mouth, and no one has confirmed the specific situation with their own eyes, as well as confirmed it.

Because all who know the truth are dead.

Not to mention us, even the city lord doesn't know the real secret here, of course, there are still legends.

It is rumored that all the Aqua people, the real Aqua people, are monsters who have no intelligence and only have a killing nature.

And we, who are wise, were called half-water people, sent out of the water city, and became the nobles of the rich city.

Why this is happening, we don't know, anyway, after so many years, it has been like this, and everyone's life is getting better and better, so no one cares about this. ”

"That is, that little monster just now, is actually a real water tribe?" I asked, puzzled.

"If the legend is not wrong, then it should be!" Xiangshiyun replied.

"A bunch of monsters that have no intelligence and can only eat people?" I muttered to myself, and suddenly my body trembled, and a cold sweat broke out all over my body.

"In other words, we may all be surrounded by this kind of monster!" I added, and quickly looked out towards the surrounding forest.

Wang Sheng and Liu Wei also immediately became vigilant, and they all looked around with sharp eyes.

"I'm just guessing, I really don't know what the situation is!" Xiangshiyun said.

"No matter, keep walking up the mountain, go up the mountain, and see if you can find a place to go." Ultimately, it's up to me to decide.

Because of the monsters, several of us, each of whom copied a wooden stick, used it to defend ourselves.

Although the roads are no longer muddy, the primeval forests are still difficult to walk.

Obviously, it looks like a shrub is separated by it, but because those shrubs are poisonous, they can't go directly, they can only go around, and it will take more than ten minutes just to detour.

In addition to the difficult roads and the threat of monsters, we also faced the problem of hunger, thirst, tiredness and sleepiness

Fortunately, Wang Sheng has rich experience in surviving in the wild, and has found some wild fruits in this mountain forest that can satisfy hunger, but those wild fruits, because they have not been artificially cultivated, taste sour and astringent.

One thing to explain is that you are pure wild, and any wild fruit that has not been bred and bred by humans will taste sour and astringent, and it is impossible to taste good.

And the sweet fruits we eat today are all selected and bred by human beings over countless years to suit human tastes.

After barely eating a little wild fruit that could sour their teeth, everyone continued on their way.

We didn't encounter any monsters in the back, but I always had a feeling that something was watching us nearby.

I told the rest of the people about it, and they felt the same way, so they didn't dare to let their guard down.

After walking for more than five hours, we couldn't walk anymore, so we continued to rest near a big rock, and we were followed by another team led by Zhu Tianfu.

These guys are going to part ways with us though, not going along.

But there is no real separation, after all, everyone knows that in this kind of mountain forest with monsters, it is very dangerous to walk, and it is undoubtedly a very smart thing to walk behind others and let others explore their own path.

When we stopped to rest, we were divided into two groups, Wang Sheng and Liu Wei went to look for food, and Xiang Shiyun and I went to look for firewood.

Just now, Liu Wei said that he saw small animals in the mountains and forests, and planned to go hunt a little.

Liu Wei's stunt is a flying knife, which can be hit within ten steps, and he will hit every shot.

Nowadays, although there are no flying knives, but there are stones, although they can't reach the point of hitting a hundred shots, but they can hit six or seven times out of ten, as long as they can hit small animals, with his strength, they will inevitably be able to cripple and injure small animals, and he knows that killing them is not a problem.

Sure enough, we were not disappointed, and soon the two of them came back with two rabbits, three mice, and a few birds.

At this time, Xiang Shiyun and I also picked up firewood, and Wang Sheng also brought some wild fruits back, there was no water, and there was not so much attention, so he directly disemboweled and broke the road and began to barbecue.

I've been hungry all day, no matter what kind of meat it is, when it's grilled, the smell is unbearable, and I can't stop drooling.

Not far from us, the group of people led by Zhu Tianfu saw that we had food here, so they wanted to come over and rub it.

As a result, they were naturally scolded by us and retreated, and they still wanted to rob them, so Liu Wei gave full play to his ability to beat people with stones and beat those people back.

The guys quarreled again because of this, blaming each other, and as a result, they split in two again, and two teams appeared.

Zhu Tianfu can't control it anymore, of course he can't control it, in the face of hunger, human reason is no longer good.

Zhu Tianfu had no choice, and finally abandoned the people from both sides and ran to our side, wanting to join us.

I didn't really want this opportunistic fellow, but when I saw that he was pitiful, I took him in.

And the rest of the people, divided into two groups, one wave endured hunger and continued to climb the mountain, and the other wave, like us, began to hunt for wild fruits and small animals.

Both waves of people went farther and farther away, and finally gradually disappeared from our sight.

Anyway, the relationship is not good, and there are not many people I know, and I don't really care.

After a full meal, everyone decided to rest here, sleep for a while, and then move on.

It's still very cold now.

It is estimated that it will be around zero degrees, and it is easy to freeze to death if you sleep in the wild, but fortunately, you can make a fire.

Before the break, I arranged a vigil, and I came to guard one person in the first shift, followed by Wang Sheng and Xiang Shiyun, Liu Wei and Zhu Tianfu.

In this way, we are always sure that we have our own people, who are vigilant enough and safe enough.

We had our backs to the big rocks, and the first floor was a cliff, so I put the fire in front of me to prevent the light in front of me from being too bright to see the rest of the night, so that maybe it would be colder, but it would also be safer.

I stayed on guard for more than an hour before I heard screams coming from the mountains and forests.

But I didn't check on it, and I didn't wake anyone else.

The screams were faint, obviously far away, and if it weren't for the silence of the mountains and forests, they wouldn't have been heard at all.

It's so far away that it's too late for us to rush there, and we can't control the path that those people have chosen for themselves.

There were a few more screams intermittently behind, but the sound seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

When the time came, I changed people, and after that I didn't say anything all night, I slept until I woke up naturally, and nothing happened.

When I woke up, I found that my whole body was sore, as if it had fallen apart, and my whole body was almost cold.

I quickly ran to the fire and roasted it for a while before I roasted my body thoroughly, and if the feeling I had just now continued, I would have caught a cold.

The rest of the people are now up too, and Xiang Shiyun and Liu Wei have gone hunting.

Wang Sheng and Zhu Tianfu guarded, and I asked, "Did you hear the screams last night?" ”

Wang Sheng nodded and said, "I heard it twice!" It's small, quite far from here. ”

Zhu Tianfu shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it!" ”

I glanced at Zhu Tianfu and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, probably because either all the people were killed, or those guys ran far enough to be heard.

Liu Wei and Xiang Shiyun came back, and this time they brought more prey than before, so everyone ate more.

Once you've eaten, continue on your way.

Soon we found the bloodstains of the screaming people last night, and looking at the mess on the ground, it is estimated that the corpses have been eaten clean, and only some blood stains remain.

A few of us glanced at each other and became more vigilant.

On the way after that, we found more blood stains one after another, and also found some residual broken arms, which were probably leftovers from eating.

The more we look at it, the more frightened we become, we really haven't seen much of a man-eating monster like this.

Just after we checked the pile of corpses again, the stall where we were about to go, suddenly everyone stopped moving, because we found a monster standing in front of us.

This monster looks different from the little monster we saw before, it is a huge reptile with a snake tail, and the overall appearance looks like a four-legged snake, but it has a hideous human face.

When it saw that we were all staring at it, it looked up to the sky and roared, and under the roar, its huge mouth actually broke through its face, revealing a dense set of terrifying teeth.

"Roar~" The other party roared, and ran towards the five of us.

When it runs, its tail flicks wildly, and it is extremely fast, similar to the way a lizard runs.

This thing, with a body length of more than three meters, would not necessarily be its opponent if the other party pounced on it, so we smashed the stones in our hands one after another.
