Chapter 13: Strange Creatures

"Zhou Xiwei! Zhou Xiwei! ”

Lu Zhentian swept around the woods with a flashlight, and shouted Zhou Xiwei's name loudly.

But there was no response.

Lu Zhentian bit his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he seemed to ignore Bai Yuxuan's safety and continued to walk deep into the woods.

The further he went, the more anxious Lu Zhentian became. It had been almost twenty minutes since he had entered, and he had gone completely deep into the woods.

But Zhou Xiwei was never seen, "Did he also encounter any danger?" Lu Zhentian thought so in his heart, and at the same time became more anxious.

Lu Zhentian looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already 21:18 in the evening, the sky had become as dark as a cloud of thick ink, and the surroundings were still quiet without any sound.

But I don't know if it's an illusion or too nervous, Lu Zhentian always feels that every few minutes, he will hear a "bang" sound, as if something is moving quickly through the woods.

"Is that you? Zhou Xiwei! Zhou Xiwei! ”

Lu Zhentian slowly groped his way in the direction where the voice came.

He continued to shout Zhou Xiwei's name loudly, but never received any response.

Suddenly, Lu Zhentian swept something out of the corner of his eye, and he hurriedly ran over.

It's Zhou Xiwei.

Zhou Xiwei was curled up and lying on the ground, and there were no traces of other people or animals around.

"Hey! Feed! Zhou Xiwei, wake up! ”

Lu Zhentian pushed Zhou Xiwei's body hard, but fortunately, he came to his senses at once.

"Hmm...... What's wrong, where is this? ”

Zhou Xiwei sat up and looked around blankly, knowing that he saw Lu Zhentian's face.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? Why did you pass out here? ”

"I ...... Passed out? ”

"I remember I came in to pick up the twigs and then I saw ......"

Zhou Xiwei's words stopped abruptly, and a frightened expression appeared on his face, and he looked around vigilantly.

and stretched out a finger and gestured on his lips, signaling Lu Zhentian not to speak.

He craned his neck, as if he was afraid of something.

In an instant, he suddenly pulled up Lu Zhentian and ran out of the woods, almost hitting the trees several times.

After running like flies without a head, under the guidance of Lu Zhentian, they finally ran out of the woods and returned to the tent.

"Whew...... Call...... Ha ......"

The two of them sat slumped around the fire, gasping for air.

About a few minutes later, Lu Zhentian asked Zhou Xiwei in a not very clear tone.

"What the hell is going on? You, what the hell did you come across in the woods? ”

Zhou Xiwei's body stiffened suddenly, he turned his head to look at the woods behind him, moved his body forward, and sat closer to the fire.

"There's something in the woods."

He said in a slightly trembling but unusually determined tone.

"Something? What is it? ”

Lu Zhentian asked suspiciously.

"I, I don't know. I don't really know. ”

"It could be a person, or an animal, or ......"

Zhou Xiwei had that frightened expression on his face again, and he took a sip of water and told all the things that had happened in the woods.

"When I first entered the woods, I thought I would just pick up some branches on the edge of the woods."

"Before I knew it, I was walking deeper and deeper into the woods, just as I had gathered a whole bundle of branches and was ready to come out."

"I felt as if something was running in front of me, so I stopped what I was doing and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was the sound of something running."

"At this time, I remembered that in the afternoon, didn't Bai Yuxuan also say that he saw something?"

"Then I was afraid of some beast or python, so I quietly followed."

"It was okay at first, I followed the voice unhurriedly, he kept moving, he didn't stop."

"Later, I don't know if he noticed my tracking or if he encountered something else, but the speed of the voice moved significantly faster."

"I was afraid that after following me for so long, I would eventually lose it, so I started running too. I followed for a few more minutes. ”

"Something strange happened suddenly, and I felt the voice suddenly move in the opposite direction, that is, it ran towards me."

"He ran very fast, maybe a few tens of seconds, and then I saw, I saw ......"

Zhou Xiwei's body suddenly trembled violently, as if the memories had brought him great fear.

"Don't be afraid, you speak slowly, what do you see?"

Lu Zhentian leaned over, patted Zhou Xiwei on the shoulder, and handed him a bottle of water.

Zhou Xiwei unscrewed the cap of the bottle, tilted his neck and poured down half a bottle of mineral water, and then seemed to be much calmer, he continued.

"I saw a monster that seemed to be human, but not exactly human."

"He was about two meters tall and covered in black hair, and his face was covered by long hair."

"But, he, I saw, had a puddle of blood condensed from his mouth, and some animal feathers, like pheasants."

"I remembered the weird magazines I used to read, and I suspected he was the legendary Savage."

"But what happened next surprised me, he could speak!"

"He saw me and froze for a few seconds, and then I seemed to hear him say, 'Oops, I've been discovered!' I was stunned, I didn't expect him to speak. ”

"Then I saw him suddenly running towards me, and when I got closer, I saw clearly, his face was covered with black blood, and I was about to shout, and he slapped me on the neck and knocked me unconscious, and then I woke up and saw you."

After listening to what happened to Zhou Xiwei, Lu Zhentian lowered his head and thought silently.

First of all, he also heard the sound of something running in the woods, and Zhou Xiwei didn't need to make up stories to tease him.

Could it really be that some unknown strange creature lives in this woods?

"As far as I know, the Savage is a mysterious creature that has not been scientifically proven to exist."

"The appearance of the wild man is indeed similar to what you described, about two meters tall, covered in hair, but I have never heard of a wild man who can speak?!"

"The most famous of these is the 'Wild Man of the Sacred Forest', where hundreds of witnesses claim to have seen a wild man, and some have even captured and killed a wild man, but none of this has been proven by any authority."

"But now there are wild people here, too, and they can even speak! This, what's going on? ”

Lu Zhentian held his head in his hands and kept whispering in his mouth.

"Forget it, let's think about these things tomorrow."

He smacked to his feet.

"It's getting late, you go to bed first. It should be enough to save a little fire on the branches here, and I think the unknown environment here still needs someone to keep vigil. ”

"I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and I'll call you at three o'clock, and you'll keep watch for the second half of the night."

"Hmm...... Okay, huh......"

Zhou Xiwei promised in his mouth, he yawned a lot, and it seemed that he was really sleepy.

"It's hard work, you can call me again when the time comes."

Zhou Xiwei patted Lu Zhentian on the shoulder, lifted the curtain of the tent and got in.
