"Hmm!" Seeing that Xu Ran was gone, no matter how scared Meng Li was, she could only hold it in her heart.

Not long after, Xu Ran continued to warm up by the bonfire, while Meng Li had already gone back to rest just now.

The bonfire slowly weakened, and in order to better protect him from the cold, Xu Ran decided to look for some dry firewood nearby, but before he could take a few steps, he heard the sound of a sigh in the grass in the distance, as if something was approaching.

Xu Ran instantly raised his vigilance, he turned around and walked back a few steps, reached out and picked up the searchlight on the ground, not to mention, the light shone in the direction where the sound came from, and there was no movement for a while.

"Is this thing afraid of light?"

Before he could react, the sound of Si Si Suo Suo came from all around. This time, the sound travels in a much wider direction.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xu Ran could only wake everyone up, Meng Qiuhe's performance was too bland, he took the lead and walked out of the tent, but he seemed to be full of energy. followed by Huang Si, there was no change on her face, her white and beautiful face had a faint charm, but her hair was a little messy, and she didn't have time to tidy it up. Then there was Meng Li, who didn't fall asleep at all, her face was still pale just now, and finally Eric and Kelly, who looked at everyone blankly and didn't know what was going on.

"Hurry up and get something, something is approaching." Xu Ran didn't talk nonsense, and when he saw that everyone had come out, he hurriedly shouted.

Everyone also knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn't dare to ask more, picked up the folding sapper shovel they carried with them, and moved closer to the campfire.

In the wild, many animals are afraid of fire, and at first glance the fire is slowly weakening, and the speed of sound transmission is more intensive.

Xu Ran saw that the fire was about to go out, so he glanced at Meng Qiuhe beside him, obviously his smart junior brother had already thought of this.

Understanding each other's meaning, Xu Ran instructed everyone to take out some solid fuel from their backpacks and deal with the current special situation first.

Hearing this, everyone did not procrastinate, and instantly took out some solid fuel from their packages and threw them into the fire.

The dying bonfire was instantly reborn, and the fire as bright as day rose to the sky, illuminating all directions.

The things hidden in the dark place, although they are afraid of the fire, it does not mean that they are afraid of death, one by one poking out a small head from the gap, staring at the people on the bonfire in amazement.

"Huh! What is this thing, how I have never seen it. As a wild explorer, Erik's insight can be described as well-read, and when he saw this thing, he couldn't help but say it in amazement.

Obviously, these little heads that pop up can't hide from everyone's eyes.

I saw that these guys, who looked like wild cats, slowly approached the crowd, their big cute eyes were innocent and curious, but in the face of what they didn't know, no one dared to be careless.

The first to pull out the weapon is Eric, don't look at him usually open his mouth and close his mouth is God, but once he shoots and is ruthless to everything, this may be a way of life for wild explorers, when encountering a threat, you must first make sure of your own safety.

Then Kelly beside him lifted the sapper shovel, her face was more resolute than ever, and the shovel in her hand was tight and tight, as if she was afraid, and seemed to adjust a comfortable grip position.

Xu Ran's junior brother Meng Qiuhe didn't change the whole time, and there was no nervousness on his calm face, but Meng Li beside him was pale, and he didn't seem to have come out of the shadows just now.

Huang Si's face was cold, and when she was serious, she was very much like her sister Huang Jing.

Xu Ran stood at the front of everyone and already had a dagger across his chest, he stared at these little guys closely, and he didn't mean to relax at all.

As the night went on, these unknown and feral cat-like creatures gathered more and more, each of them staring at them cutely, until finally they formed a circle around Xu Ran.

Eric had never seen such a battle before, what was it? The soldiers are still embattled when they are in the city.

"Later, if they rush over, remember to ignite the fixed fuel in your hand, Xu Ran said, he can see that these guys are very afraid of the fire.

Everyone else nodded, vigilantly facing the unexpected situation in front of them. The smell of grilled fish remained under their feet, and soon, with a gust of wind, the smell wafted around. It was like a stimulant, and those cute guys changed their faces in an instant, holding their heads high and waiting for the opportunity to absorb them, turning from the cute ones just now to fierce, with white teeth and fangs, and a roar in their mouths, this is the sound.

The sound that Xu Ran and Meng Qiuhe heard in the upper reaches of the river bank came from their mouths.

It seems that they are about to attack, and Xu Ran and they have completely become the little ones' supper.

"Everyone, be careful! They're coming. ”

No one dared to squeak anymore, even Eric, who had always been a nagging man, closed his mouth and looked around vigilantly, the muzzle of the gun in his hand had already been aimed at these little monsters.

Suddenly, as Xu Ran's words fell, a leading strange cat took the lead in running towards the crowd, with a strange scream of vomiting in his mouth, and saliva fell down with the corners of his mouth.

Xu Ran was the first to be attacked, there was no way to tell him to stand at the front, a black shadow instantly pounced in front of him, his teeth were sharp like two saws, and as soon as he closed one, he could tear the prey apart.

It's no wonder that the cat doesn't know Xu Ran after all, just like Xu Ran doesn't know about it, but Xu Ran has a lot of experience after all, and the creatures that died in his hands were not ten thousand but nine thousand, how could he lose his life all at once.

I saw Xu Ran flickering, and the black shadow had already been slapped down by him before he came close, and he screamed a few times, and before everyone could react, the strange cat died on the spot.

Awesome! Xu Ran's blow instantly brought morale to his side.

The other strange cats who were about to move could not bear it anymore, and the limbs under their feet kicked down, and suddenly turned into a black shadow, and flew towards the crowd, the scene was as spectacular as it was, but unfortunately this was not a communication between humans and animals, but cannibalism.

The people who were already nervous, according to Xu Ran, lit the fuel in their hands and threw it into the group of strange cats, not to mention, at the moment when the fire lit up, a large group of strange cats were instantly frightened.

The same firelight and the same situation, the strange cats who have never seen the world, of course, are afraid, the hair is upside down, and the fluffy black hair can't hide the fear in their hearts.

Xu Ran saw the opportunity, took a handful of firewood and threw it at the strange cat, he smashed it accurately, and the strange cat that was hit by Xu Ran instantly ignited the fire, with a smell of burning, and the smell was indescribably weird.

The original tense scene instantly became strange and abnormal, and the position of the hunter and the prey was instantly exchanged.

Seeing this scene, if everyone didn't understand what Xu Ran said just now, it would really be in vain for decades.

I saw that Huang Si was the first to take the lead, picked up a handful of fire and threw it at the strange cat, and the others also followed suit when they saw this, and they threw it into the bushes with a handful of fire, and they were not afraid of a fire, after all, who cares about fire for the sake of human life.

The torches slowly lit from the dry wood in the ground, and in order to drive away the strange cats, several people deliberately threw the fire source on the dry branches.

Xu Ran and the others have exhausted their methods, listening to the screams in the firelight, the mood has an indescribable joy.

"If this continues, will there be forest fires?" Meng Li seemed to be worried about the situation in front of her.

"When the strange cat retreats, we'll put out the fire immediately."

No one has an opinion, after all, the threat has not been completely lifted.

The fire burned for about five minutes, and after making sure that there was no danger, everyone went to the river to fetch water, carrying a small water source to extinguish the fire, but fortunately it was the time when the air was at its wettest, and the fire had been strangled in the cradle before it could spread.

Xu Ran took a few breaths, lay on the ground, and felt an indescribable comfort in his heart, he didn't feel very tired just now, but now that he was free, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and it was most comfortable to walk on the ground.

There was a pair of beautiful eyes staring at him on the side, and his eyes were wandering, with a strong sense of love. But he knew who this person was, but he still didn't care, and finally he couldn't stand it, so he spoke: "While it's still before dawn, hurry up and rest for a while." He closed his eyes and seemed to talk to himself.

"The sun is out, and it's going to be even more sinister."

Xu Ran didn't say anything, opened a gap, and there was just a ray of sunshine hitting his face, warm and with new hope.

"What about the others?" He closed his eyes again and asked the people around him.

"Eric and Kelly went around looking for wild fruits to eat, Meng Li was in the tent, and your friend was sleeping on the ground like you."

"Oh!" Xu Ran responded: "Then wait for them to come back." ”

"Are you really sure they'll follow?" Seeing that there was no one else around, Huang Si lowered her voice and spoke, and finally she also lay on the grass, looking at the clouds floating in the sky.

"What then, to get them away?" Xu Ran said.

"Don't you think what just happened is strange?" Huang Si couldn't hide her curious gaze, and patted Xu Ran beside her, she felt that her words were ignored by Xu Ran.

"Hmmm! It's a little weird" Xu Ran said casually, and then opened his eyes: "They're back, let's go pack our things." ”

The two of them didn't dwell on the topic just now, and got up and went back to their respective tents to pack their things.

Meng Qiuhe took the lead in packing up, and when the two of them came back, they were already sitting on the ground waiting for them. There is no way that the gap between people is so big, which is something that others can't envy.

Packing up the tent was very simple, and in less than ten minutes, everyone took away what should be taken and threw away what should not be taken.

Walking into the dense forest again, there are traces of the fire everywhere, and arthrophores, birds, and small animals will appear in sight every once in a while, and the miserable appearance is really distressing.

But there is no way, nature is nature, and survival of the fittest is an immutable rule.

The heavy atmosphere along the way, whether people have the leisure to talk, is not that everyone is indulging in sadness, but that they really don't have the heart to talk again, because the physical strength saved last night is basically used to fight those strange cats.

According to the route Xu Ran and the others took, there would be a rock wall cut by the sky in front of them, and as long as they passed through that place, the purpose of the trip would end. Not including saving people, of course.

Buried in the shade of the trees, everyone rested for about ten minutes and then started on the road again.

On the road, the previously flat ground was not as smooth as before, and a short pothole began to appear, and then stones appeared in front of me, and the path under my feet began to become rough.

Through the rough road, the view suddenly widened, and the most difficult part of the road they had to go through finally arrived. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a cliff.

The gray rock wall covered the eyes, and all they could see was a large stone split in two by the thunder, and there was a small path where the stone was cut into the sky, and there was an abyss below, and a cliff on the opposite side. As long as you jump over the opposite side through the gap in the sky, the rest of the road is considered safe.

Xu Ran discussed with them the countermeasures, and each person tied a rope around their waists to ensure the safety of the team members, of course, Xu Ran and Meng Qiuhe didn't need it at all, because this was for the other three.

Tied around his waist, Xu Ran was the first to bear the brunt, he straightened the rope and carefully clinged to the rock wall.
