Chapter 294: A Real Youkai

After about ten minutes of rest, I regained some strength and was at least able to get up from the ground.

The little red snake went out to look for Yan Xiaoying, and they haven't come back yet.

It stands to reason that although what happened just now was sudden, it didn't take long for me to be separated from them, and they shouldn't have gone far, could it be that something happened to them?

I was worried.

After waiting for another ten minutes, the little red snake still did not return.

The forest was quiet, there was no movement at all, the Golden Python and the Bat King did not chase after them, and they did not even see the shadow of their disciples.

They...... It was as if it had suddenly evaporated.

It stands to reason that with so many snakes and bats coming in, this forest shouldn't be so quiet.

But in fact, that's exactly what happened.

It's so quiet, so quiet that you can hear a pin dropping.

I could even hear my own heartbeat clearly, but other than that, the wind rustled the leaves.

Other than that, there was no other sound.

The silence made the whole forest look a little eerie and eerie, and there seemed to be an invisible black fog around it, and I couldn't see far with my flashlight.

Of course, the main reason is that the woods are too dense to block the view.

We used to be on a grassy slope, and we could still see the strange light in the woods, but when we entered the woods, the light suddenly disappeared.

Maybe it's because of the angle, or maybe the light in the woods is really gone.

The mysterious power in my body that the seal drew out didn't seem to cause much damage to my body, except that it was extremely weak.

However, it will take time for the lost power to recover.

The recovery time is somewhat long......

I don't know if Xiaohong went to Yan Xiaoying, I'm a little unsure about it, after all, I'm not in a master-servant relationship, and sometimes it's not under my control at all.

With Xiaohong's ability, I don't worry about any accidents it encounters, even if it encounters a powerful enemy, even if it can't be defeated, it shouldn't be a problem to escape.

I'm still more confident in this, unless it encounters a terrifying existence of Jingmei or the Judge of the Sun.

"What is the matter with the child I saw just now and the light that appeared in the woods before?"

"Could it be that the secret realm here is different from the heavenly secret realm that Yan Xiaoying and I entered before, there are living people here, and ethnic groups and tribes live here?"

I shook my head, took a few deep breaths, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Raising his eyes and scanning the surroundings, he pondered in his heart, waiting for the news of the little red snake here is not a way, the longer it takes, the more dangerous Yan Xiaoying and them may be.

Besides, this place is not a good place, in case the Golden Monty Python or the Bat King suddenly appears, he will not have the same luck as before.

You have to meet them as soon as possible!

The little red snake has a way of finding my place, and I'm not worried about that.

With this thought in mind, I didn't delay any longer, estimated the direction, and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

This time, my strength was gone, and I could no longer run like an ape before, so I could only walk cautiously.

The forest is damp and filled with a strong smell of corrosive blades of grass.

Because of the low-lying terrain, the ground is full of stagnant water and swamps, and the roots and stems of the trees are covered with thick moss, and unknown fungi grow.

To be on the safe side, I searched for a dead branch the thickness of an arm, and dared to walk only where the roots of the trees were thick, so as to avoid falling into the swamp.

As for the miasma in the forest, I'm not too worried, because with my resistance to poison, even if there is miasma in the forest, it won't poison me.

The roots and stems of the large trees are luxuriant, and a large part of them are exposed to the surface, and they are intertwined with each other on the ground like old vines, forming arch holes, which at first glance look like the bodies of countless pythons are entwined together.

My speed was not fast, for more than ten minutes, and I only walked a few dozen meters, because of my weak body, I could only walk while resting and recovering my strength.

Strangely, we could still hear birds chirping outside the woods, but when we actually entered here, we didn't see any creatures.

Not even one of the insects, ants, and mosquitoes was seen, and there was a deathly silence.

The forest was surrounded by pythons and bats, and I guess Yan Xiaoying and the others should have fled deep into the dense forest.

I was so cranky that I didn't pay attention to my feet when I stepped on a palm-sized mushroom growing from the rhizome.

The mushroom deflated as soon as I stepped on it, and the liquid flowed out of it, like lubricating oil, wet and slippery, and immediately caused my feet to slip and fall to the side.

Fortunately, it was not a swampy muddy ground next to it, and there were thick dead leaves, so the fall was not injured.

I struggled to get up from the dead branches and leaves with a dry cane, and at this moment, I suddenly felt a strong feeling of being watched by someone.

It seems that something is secretly watching itself!

"Who?"

I followed my feelings, quickly turned my head to look in a certain direction, and saw the direction of my left hand.

The roots of the trees hung in the air and entangled, and on top of that stem stood a little boy of eight or nine years old, who carried a lantern from which yellow light was scattered.

He didn't know when he was standing there, but he was staring at me with wide eyes.

This child seems to be the same child we saw on the grassy slope before, coming out of the depths of the jungle and hiding behind a big tree to spy on us.

I was amazed that although my physical strength was greatly depleted, my hearing and spiritual sense were still there. There are dead branches and leaves all around, and as long as someone approaches, you must be able to detect it.

However, at the moment, the child was only about ten meters away, and he didn't even notice it just now.

There are only two reasons for this, the first is that the child has been standing there all the time; The second reason is that he walks silently and without making any sound.

However, even if he walked silently, the lantern in his hand was so dazzling that in the dark night, he could see it at a glance.

Besides, it is unusual for such a child to suddenly appear in such a place.

The most important point is that at close range, I found that the color of the child's body skin is a little different from that of ordinary people, it is too white, white and blue, which is not at all like the skin color that normal people should have.

Combining all of the above, I immediately came to a conclusion.

This child may not be a human, a ghost, or a zombie......

All in all, an ordinary child should never appear in such a place and show up in this way......

"You...... Who the hell is it? Why follow me? ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tried to calm myself, looked at the child in front of me, and asked in a cold voice.

"Bad guys! You're all bad guys, and you've brought in all the youkai. I'm going to go back and tell Ah Gong to tell them to arrest you all, huh! ”

The child stared at me for a while, and finally spoke.

His voice was crisp, crisp and pleasant, and it didn't sound like a ghost or something.

"Bad guys? Your grandfather? ”

I was stunned and asked strangely, "Could it be that the monster you are talking about is the python and bat before?" And what you just said Ah Gong, could it be that you really live in this forest? Is there anyone else in this forest? ”

"Of course I live here!"

The child stared at the big black eyes and snorted, "As soon as you come to us, there will be a disaster, and you are not welcome here."

This child doesn't look like an ordinary person, but his personality is childish, and I let go of my vigilance a lot, and asked, "What's your name?" Is your village deep in the forest? And what's really going on with your skin? Isn't Mo sick? Leukaemia? ”

"You're not normal, you're sick!"

The child said with an innocent face: "Our skin has always been like this, do you think I'm a child and it's easy to deceive?" I won't tell you where our village is. ”

"Hmph, I'm going back to tell Ah Gong and let him bring someone to arrest you!" The child said, turning around and wanting to leave.

"Wait, let's make it clear before we go!"

Seeing that he is leaving, where am I willing? At that moment, he rushed over, reaching out to grab him and ask him clearly.

The child obviously didn't expect me to rush over suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.

When he was stunned, I reached out and grabbed his clothes.

I tried to lift him down from the root of the tree and control him, but at this mention he didn't move at all, but tore his gray cloth clothes.

"This ......"

I was shocked, although my physical strength has not yet recovered, how much can he weigh as a child? He couldn't even be pulled off the hollowed-out roots.

Just when I was stunned, the child's face suddenly became extremely hideous and terrifying, he seemed to be angry, his facial features were distorted, and it was not an expression that a normal person could make at all.

"Bad guys!"

The child screamed, and in my incredible gaze, his body suddenly merged into the roots of the tree, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You bullied me, I'm going back to tell my grandfather!"

The next moment, he suddenly appeared a few meters away, under a big tree, and yelled at me.

"Sure enough, it's not a normal person!"

I frowned, took out the spirit banner from my waist, threw it violently, and said coldly: "You open your mouth to be a monster, shut up a bad person, obviously you are a real monster, I really don't know if you are pretending to be stupid or really stupid, look at Lao Tzu to accept you!" ”

The child threw a spirit banner at me, his face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "You are the monster!" ”

Just as my spirit banner was about to pierce him, he suddenly took a step back, blended into the tree behind him as he had done before, and disappeared again.

Burst!

The spirit banner was planted on the trunk of the tree, and this time, the strange child did not reappear, and seemed to have left.

I walked over and pulled the spirit banner out of the tree, my brow furrowed.

This time, he may have really encountered a monster, and judging from his strange way of blending into the tree, the other party seems to be a dryad, a small dryad that can transform into shapes.

I just threw the spirit banner just now to scare the other party.

Because I don't know how to use the spirit banner at all, but the terrifying aura on the spirit flag still has a certain deterrent effect on evil things.

In fact, I'm a strong outsider now, and if that little demon just shot at me, I wouldn't have any chance of winning.

"Luckily, I scared it away!"

Although the child ran, my heart was shocked, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Because I never imagined that I would encounter such a thing, a youkai with a real shapeshift.

This forest seemed even more terrifying than the heavenly secret we had entered before.

Listening to the words of the little demon just now, there are not only himself in this forest, but also many monsters who are exactly like him......

The little red snake has not come back for a long time, Yan Xiaoying and the others have not heard from them, and the golden python and the bat king do not seem to have gone deep into the depths of the dense forest, are they afraid of something?

Could it be ...... Yan Xiaoying: They encountered a monster like the child just now?
