Seeing that the sun is about to set, the fog on Penglai Island is getting thicker and thicker. Xu Fu instructed the disciples to light torches next to the boulder, and then ate beef jerky with clear water.

Xu Fu looked at the wound on his hand that was injured by the vines, and the swelling had completely disappeared It's just that the itchy feeling is still there. Lao Bai smiled: "Don't hold back, don't scratch." Wait for the wound to scab over. ”

Xu Fu asked Lao Bai while chewing dried beef, "Is that vine so weird?" Even if it is toxic, it will take the initiative to attack people. I've never seen a strange vine like this in most of my life. ”

Lao Bai threw a piece of wood into the fire and smiled: "This is a corpse vine, but it usually grows in the deep sea!" Why are there so many in this hole? ”

A disciple looked at Lao Bai curiously: "Corpse vine? Lao Bai nodded: "Yes!" Although it is a vine, like an animal, it actively preys on nearby creatures. It can be found on many reefs on the bottom of the sea, and it is common to hunt passing fish. This hole shouldn't be long! Because this corpse vine can't do without water, it will quickly wither as soon as it leaves the water. ”

Xu Fu nodded thoughtfully: "Could it be that these corpse vines are all planted here?" But what is the purpose of planting here? Defend against foreign invaders? Or is it to prevent things from going out of the island? ”

Lao Bai nodded: "The growth rate of this corpse vine is very slow, but judging by the number of people in that cave, it has existed here for no less than a few hundred years." Hasn't the things on this island been set foot for hundreds of years? So what do they live on? Is there another way out for them? Lao Bai shook his head: "I don't know about this, after all, I have never been to this island." Xu Fu nodded, then reclined on the stone, turned his head and asked the disciple next to him, "Are your wounds all healed?" ”

The disciples nodded: "Thank you Master for your concern, it's already much better" Xu Fu nodded: "When the time comes, if we can get out of Penglai Island alive, we will definitely find another way." This cave is impossible to leave."

The disciples thought of the large swarm of bloodthirsty bats in the cave, and then of those terrifying and strange corpse vines. I only felt numb all over, so I nodded one after another.

Xu Fu instructed his disciples to take turns keeping vigil, and then he lay down on the stone and closed his eyes to rest.

Lao Bai jumped into the dark pool and swam up, after all, it was a thousand-year-old divine fish that was conjured up, and it could not sleep or eat or drink. But you still can't leave the water source for a long time.

Two disciples of the night vigil sat by the fire, looking around with their crossbow arrows in their hands. The soft evening breeze blew gently, and the eyelids of the two were already like fighting, and soon, a wave of tiredness hit. Both sat on the ground and fell asleep.

The sound of a branch breaking came over, and the two of them quickly woke up, looking around vigilantly with crossbow arrows in their hands.

In the white moonlight, the two found that the grass not far away shook violently, and the crossbow arrows in their hands shot into the grass in unison, and soon, the grass stopped shaking. The two quickly reloaded a crossbow bolt, and then slowly walked towards the grass with the crossbow in hand.

When I went to the grass, I didn't find anything. Just as the two of them were about to walk back, several fluffy black paws suddenly stretched out, grabbed their legs and dragged them into the denser grass next to them.

The two shouted as they slashed at the furry claws with daggers, and in an instant, streams of green blood flowed out.

The owner of the paw quickly let go of his hand, and the two broke free of their claws and ran back, trying to wake up the sleeping crowd as they ran.

The two were running, and several equally furry black paws stretched out from the side and pushed them to the ground. Soon, two black-haired monsters emerged from the grass, and the monsters opened their mouths and let out a roar. The two of them saw that the monster's mouth was full of interlaced teeth, and it was particularly dazzling under the white moon.

Before the two could react, the two monsters opened their mouths and bit at them, and suddenly, two terrible screams woke up the sleeping people next to the fire.

Xu Fu sat up and pulled out the sword at his waist and looked around, and all the disciples woke up. Xu Fu said intently: "What about the person who just kept vigil?" The screaming voice seems to be theirs, everyone hurry up and look for it."

A sharp-eyed disciple suddenly noticed the shaking of the grass and shouted, "Master, there's something there." Xu Fu looked in the direction of the disciple's finger, only to see that the grass there shook and regained its calm.

Xu Fu hurriedly asked his disciple to take a torch with him to take a look, but before he came to the vicinity of the grass, he only heard the sound of bones breaking. Then came a strong smell of blood. Xu Fu covered his nose and carefully used his sword to remove the pile of lush grass, and everyone was stunned at once, there were two bloody headless corpses on the ground, the chest of the corpse was cut open by a sharp weapon, but the head and internal organs in the abdomen of the corpse were missing. Xu Fu took a closer look at the blood-stained clothes on the corpse, and thought to himself: Aren't these the two disciples who are keeping vigil? How did it become like this? Could it be that there is something else here that is spying on itself?

Thinking of this, Xu Fu hurriedly ordered his disciples to get ready, the murderer must not have gone far.

Just as everyone was carefully preparing to move the corpse back to the fire, a roar rang out all around, and a disciple next to him was dragged away by a claw sticking out from behind. By the time Xu Fu and the others reacted, the disciple had already disappeared, and there was a sound of bones breaking in the grass. Xu Fu knew that the disciple was already unlucky, and hurriedly ordered everyone to quickly retreat to the fire, because the terrain next to the fire was open.

As soon as the group retreated to the fire, the grass shook around them. Then several humanoid monsters emerged from the grass. Looking at it by the light of the fire, Xu Fu suddenly took a breath of cool air.

The monsters were just like humans, but they were covered in black hair, their two furry arms were like two sharp claws, and their long sharp nails looked particularly eerie in the light of fire. The monsters licked their teeth and stared at the crowd next to the fire. A thick tail was wagging around behind him.

One of the disciples asked, "Master, why does this monster look so much like a monkey?" Xu Fu shook his head: "Don't look at them like monkeys, but these are not monkeys." They are 10,000 times more ferocious than monkeys. ”

A disciple looked at Xu Fu: "Master, how do you know that they are not monkeys?" Do you know them? ”
