Chapter 292: Darkness Screams
It's night, and the cold wind is sluggish.
In the secret territory, the temperature difference between day and night here is extremely large.
During the day, the wind blows, but at night it is bitterly cold.
It feels like the seasons change from summer to winter in one day.
Huang Jinquan, the tattooed man, and the yellow-haired three of them were so cold that they shrunk together, and although there was a fire to keep warm, they still couldn't withstand the bone-eating cold.
Lao Fei also fought with straight teeth, and he was so cold that he was not interested in blowing his heroic deeds with the three of them, and curled up on the ground.
Yan Xiaoying's physique and I are much stronger than those of them, and although we feel cold, at least it is not as exaggerated as theirs.
I added firewood to the fire, and when I saw that the three of them were drowsy and tired, especially Huang Mao, who was half dead because of his injuries, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly.
With the current state of mind of the three of them, I am afraid that something will happen tomorrow when they go into the woods.
Coming here, it is estimated that their initial curiosity and excitement have also been grinded, right?
Especially after encountering a group of pythons and bats in the cave, we escaped with our lives, which must have caused a great shock to them.
Although they did not say it explicitly, it was evident from the reluctant expressions on their faces when I asked them if they wanted to go into the forest at night, that they had developed a fear of this place, and even wanted to leave.
Newborn calves are not afraid of hardship, and there is a degree!
For them, everything they experienced in the cave was enough, and they probably would reflect on it when they returned......
Only those who have truly experienced life and death can truly appreciate the preciousness of life.
The road is under your feet, how to go, and where to go, should be decided by yourself, not by others to lead forward......
"Xiao Ying, I think if the three of them stay here and wait for us tomorrow, they won't go into danger with us, right? After all, this place is dangerous, and it would be a pity if they gave up their lives here, and we don't want to go, right? I leaned over to Yan Xiaoying's side and suggested softly.
"What? Do you pity them? Yan Xiaoying asked lightly.
"It's not a pity or a pity for it."
I shook my head and said, "After all, we are not living a normal life, and following us will only subvert their worldview." Actually, when I first asked them to come in, I didn't approve of it. Because with us, they may be in danger at any time, they have nothing to do with it, and I don't want to implicate the three innocent people, it would be unfair to them. ”
"Do you think you've done something wrong and blame yourself?"
Yan Xiaoying frowned lightly and said in a deep voice: "They really have nothing to do with us, you can ignore them, after all, we didn't force them to come here, but their own choice." If you make a choice, you have to bear the consequences of making that choice, right? ”
"You must not feel guilty of yourself, or sorry for them or anything like that, they have to be with us, and they have brought it upon themselves when they encounter danger or something."
"But one thing you're right, they're only a burden to follow us!"
Yan Xiaoying said, "While the three of them are asleep, we can now go into the forest and do our own thing." ”
"What about them?" I was stunned for a moment, looked at the dozing Golden Spring trio and asked.
"Let them fend for themselves, didn't you say before, with us, they are dangerous."
"But you can't just leave them alone, right? After all, this is a secret realm, so why don't we have to take them out? I smiled wryly.
"That's it!"
Yan Xiaoying said lightly: "Do you have a way to send them out the same way?" The passage we came in was easy to get in, but it wasn't so easy to get out. Now that we don't even know how to get out, wouldn't it be even more dangerous to leave the three of them here? ”
"Okay...... You didn't say anything to me! ”
I spread my hands, since Ccentipede Ridge left, I felt that Yan Xiaoying's personality seemed to have changed, something was not quite right, but what was wrong was not clear for a while.
At this point, there was no other way but to continue to take the three of them into the forest.
Outlet......
We were so focused on how to enter the secret realm, but we never thought about how to leave.
"You rest tonight, you kept vigil last night, change my ...... tonight"
I just wanted to say that tonight let Yan Xiaoying rest, I will come to keep vigil, but before the words were finished, Yan Xiaoying's face suddenly changed slightly, made a silent gesture to me, pointed to the forest, and said in a low voice: "There seems to be a situation in the woods!" ”
I quickly turned around and looked into the woods, and upon closer inspection, I saw a faint light in the trees.
Because it was night, the trees were dense, but the light was very obvious.
"Lights? Firelight? ”
I frowned and said, "How weird? How can there be light in the woods? Could it be ...... Is there anyone else in there who can't? ”
"There could be real people!"
Yan Xiaoying pointed to the woods, frowned, and said, "Look closely, there is a yellow point of light that seems to be moving towards where we are......"
I also saw the point of light, because the trees were so dense that I couldn't see what it was.
Until the point of light moved from the depths of the forest to the edge of the woods, the edge of the forest beneath the grassy slope where we were, under our gaze.
Up close, I realized that it was a lantern that was emitting the light.
The lantern was held, and the man hid behind a large tree, sneakily peeking at us on the grassy slope.
"Strange thing! Could it be that there are still living people living in this secret territory? ”
I was amazed to see the yellow lantern at the edge of the woods, and looked closely at the figure hidden behind the tree.
At this time, the man also happened to poke out a head to look at us.
They all said to wait until it was dark, and the man was carrying a glowing lantern in his hand, and with my eyesight, I couldn't see his appearance clearly.
However, the general outline can still be seen clearly, it is definitely a person, and it is a child, the age should be about the same as Xiaoya, about eight or nine years old.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but the skin on its body doesn't seem to be normal, it's so white that it's oozing, and it's wearing a wide gray cloth coat.
He hid behind a tree and looked at us secretly, as if very curious, but a little frightened, and did not dare to come out from behind the tree.
If there is really someone in the woods, and the other party is a child, could it be that there are really people in this woods who can live? ”
"Hey! The kid ......"
I saw that the other party retracted his head and wanted to leave, so I hurriedly shouted to him and asked what was going on.
But I didn't make a sound, but this sound, the other party was obviously frightened, and ran back back to the depths of the dense forest with a lantern.
His speed was very fast, and by the time Yan Xiaoying and I arrived under the big tree, he was gone.
Looking in the direction he had left, there was a faint light casting from the depths of the forest, some distance from us.
"Strange!"
I looked at the place where the child was standing just now, frowned and said in a deep voice: "How can this kind of place be inhabited?" And in the middle of the night, he came here with a child to investigate the situation, which obviously made people feel that something was wrong. ”
"It seems that that just now is not an ordinary child......"
Yan Xiaoying looked at the direction of the child's departure meaningfully, and said faintly.
"Do you see something?" I asked Yan Xiaoying.
"It's hard to say!"
Yan Xiaoying shook her head and suddenly said, "It seems that there are not only a few of us in this secret realm, but also ...... Others ...... here."
"You two, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
At this time, the sound of the golden spring suddenly came from the grassy slope, and she flashed a flashlight from us, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Should you be secretly ...... while we are asleep Date, right? ”
"What's going on in your head? Don't talk nonsense! ”
Yan Xiaoying and I returned to the fire, and when we saw Huang Jinquan looking at us suspiciously, we knocked her forehead and said angrily: "There was a situation in the forest just now, Xiaoying and I just went over to check." ”
"Oh...... Actually, you don't have to explain it to me, they're all adults, isn't that normal? Huang Jinquan rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Brother Tianyan and Sister Xiaoying are really interested, it's freezing this day, you guys are actually uh-huh...... Ahhhh......h Hey hey ......"
The golden spring became darker and darker, and the tattooed man and Huang Mao on the side had already woken up, and they were looking at us with a snicker.
"Shut up! If you want to be dumb, I can cut your tongue out right now. Yan Xiaoying glared at Huang Jinquan and said coldly.
"Oh don't! I don't dare! ”
Huang Jinquan's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately reached out to cover his mouth, she could smile at me, but she didn't dare to annoy Yan Xiaoying.
On the other side, the tattooed man and Huang Mao were even more afraid of Yan Xiaoying, and in order to avoid setting fire to their bodies, they actually closed their eyes and pretended to fall asleep.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the direction of the waterfall not far away suddenly made a huge roar of water without warning, and this sound spread far away in the night.
Listening to the movement, it seems that something has fallen from the top of the cliff into the deep pool under the waterfall!
"Let's go, Tianyan, let's go over and see what's going on!"
Yan Xiaoying frowned, a worried look on her face.
"A few of you hurry up and wake up Lao Fei, all of you lift your spirits, something may happen tonight, it's not peaceful here!"
Before leaving, Yan Xiaoying reminded the few people in Jinquan to wake up Lao Fei.
Afterwards, Yan Xiaoying and I hurried to the deep pool under the waterfall with flashlights to see what had fallen from the cliff.
Listening to the movement that came out before, the weight of the falling from the cliff was not light, if it was a stone, it was fine, but if it was something else......
The two of them hurried towards the deep pool with flashlights, and in the distance, we saw a behemoth stirring up the waves under the pool, trying to crawl out of the pool.
There were still dozens of meters away, I grabbed Yan Xiaoying, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good, it's the golden python, I don't know why, it has also entered the secret realm!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings overhead, and there was a lot of movement.
Looking up, I saw black shadows passing from above, there were too many of them, and the darkness was like dark clouds covering the night sky.
"Ahh Brother Tianyan, help! ”
"I'm rubbing, how did these things get here?"
"Snakes, lots of snakes, run!"
Just when we were stunned, the cry for help from the Golden Spring suddenly came from the direction of the fire, as well as the curses of Lao Fei, and the frightened screams of Huang Mao and others.
