Chapter 18: Black Hundred Feet

In the second half of the night, a commotion suddenly sounded.

Under the ancient tree where everyone was, there was a dense sound, and the sound came like a torrential rain, waking everyone up.

"Don't panic, take precautions!" Huo Yuntian hurriedly shouted.

The dense rustling sound under the tree was getting closer and closer, and the scalp was numb and goosebumps were straight all over the body.

Mu Tian quietly climbed under the tree and looked around curiously, but it was pitch black underneath and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Can you see what the hell it is?" Zhai Feng also followed, exploring behind him.

"It's too dark to see anything!" replied Mutian.

"Listening to the sound makes people's scalps tingle, it should be right under us, and the sound is still converging from all around, it can't be some fierce beast taking us as prey, right?" Zhai Feng shuddered in horror, he thought of the Red Flame Ant, and the terrifying eating speed made him panic.

"I don't know, the voice is very strange, it seems to be a lot of people!" Mu Tian also became a little uneasy.

Unaware of what was happening around him, he drew the dagger he had with him and stared at the commotion in the darkness, holding his breath.

Huo Yuntian also climbed down the trunk of the tree, carefully observing the situation under the tree, but due to the light problem below, his eyes were also black, and he couldn't see anything.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and warned again: "Everyone be on guard!"

The air pressure around you drops instantly, making your body stiff and unable to breathe. No one knew what was going on under the tree, but they felt that a strange force was shaking the ancient tree, and it was coming to the top of the tree at a rapid speed.

The fear that darkness brings to people is always what is hidden behind it, something you can never guess.

It can make you restless and lose the direction that has always been firm in your heart.

"That's a lot of bugs!" cried the man closest to the ground, seeing the source of the movement.

Someone climbed to the top of the tree in a panic and kept shouting, "It's bugs, it's full of bugs!"

After a while, the trunk of the tree was covered with a thick layer of black living creatures, which were densely piled together, black ghosts, black demons, and made people feel hairy.

The black creatures appeared in the moonlight, their black bodies shining one by one, and their small bodies were covered with tiny limbs, which made a subtle rustling sound when they moved.

Countless feet and limbs opened their teeth and claws, and the subtle sound was instantly amplified, like a rainstorm, and endless raindrops hit the earth.

"Climb up!" Huo Yuntian shouted.

Everyone rushed to the top of the tree, and for a while, the ancient tree shook, and the fallen leaves were flying, and there was a possibility of breaking at any time.

"What the hell is this!" Zhai Feng was frightened into a cold sweat, he was born with a fear of this densely packed living creature.

"That thing bites, someone gets bitten!" someone exclaimed.

I don't know who was bitten, and before I heard the scream, I instantly foamed at the mouth, convulsed, lost my body support, and fell directly down the ancient tree.

There was a commotion under the tree, followed by the sizzling of sap.

Under the darkness, countless wormholes broke open from the human skin, blood surged, and thousands of insects scurried through the body, instantly devouring all the internal organs, leaving only a shriveled body with skin and bones.

"Help, someone has fallen!" someone shouted, but no one cared.

Huo Yuntian's heart was anxious, he gritted his teeth, or gave up the idea of saving people, even though he was very tormented in his heart, he still made this decision.

He didn't know what these black objects were, and at this time, it was the night after the night, and the night was dark and ghostly, and if he panicked to save people, he would definitely encounter accidents.

Moreover, the person who was attacked had already stopped crying, and it was useless to rush to save people.

Huo Yun glanced at Mu Tian and found that he was also looking at himself.

"Is there any way?" Huo Yuntian couldn't help it, so he had to ask for help, so he asked.

Mu Tian shook his head and said, "If this continues, we will all have to die!"

"Don't say unlucky words at this time, now that you can't go up or down, what should I do!" Zhai Feng also became anxious.

Mu Tian looked at the black frenzy that was constantly coming, and he had already recognized the whole picture of the black thing, "Do you remember the big centipede during the day?"

Huo Yuntian suddenly realized something and said, "You mean that this black worm is connected to that centipede?"

He carefully identified the black object, it was indeed very similar to a centipede, but the number was so large that he couldn't believe it.

"I think that centipede must be the overlord of this territory, but for some reason it was taken over by the Firmament Bull Demon! Mu Tian became worried, and then said: "If we kill a male centipede today, then these cubs must be following the female centipede, if so, then it should be nearby!"

"Where is the centipede's beast crystal? The smell on the beast crystal must not have dissipated, which attracted these countless black hundred feet!"

After speaking, Mu Tian threw out a hemp rope and slapped it at the feet of one person, dispersing the dense black hundred feet for him and saving the person's life.

Huo Yuntian seemed to understand something, and asked, "Where is the centipede's beast crystal?"

"At my place!" replied from a nearby ancient tree.

"Give it to me!" exclaimed Mutian, "give me another bow!"

Mu Tian took the cloth bag containing the beast crystal, tied it to the arrow, and climbed to the top of the tree to explore the surroundings.

A little fluctuation not far away caught his attention, and he focused his gaze on an ancient forest on the west side, and quickly shot the arrow.

The arrow disappeared into the endless night in an instant, and disappeared.

Everyone was puzzled and raised their eyes, but at this moment, they saw a huge black shadow jumping up from the ancient forest, and they were all stunned.

Everyone was stunned, never thinking that the fierce beast had already been lying dormant beside them, and when they came back to their senses, they all gasped and trembled.

There was a muffled thud, and the weight fell to the ground.

At the same time, the dense little hundred feet quickly left in the direction from which the sound came like a receding tide.

Mu Tian wasn't sure if this would work, but he didn't expect it to save everyone's lives.

Suddenly, the low roar of the Firmament Bull Demon sounded again, and there was a commotion in the woods on the west side, and the rustling sound increased sharply, and then quickly disappeared.

After a storm, the surroundings returned to calm.

Mu Tian threw the bow to Zhai Feng, took a breath, took out the incense diffuser and looked at it, and said: "This night, the dew in the mountains is heavy and humid, and the incense has been soaked, no wonder the female centipede came to the door!"

"How did you know that there were female centipedes around here?" Zhai Feng was curious.

"When you learn about the breeding habits of centipedes, you will understand!" Mu Tian did not explain too much.

However, the others were still unable to calm down for a long time because of the thrilling scene just now, and some even retreated in their hearts, unwilling to move deeper into the mountains.

The next morning, a chill soaked through his body, causing Mu Tian to sneeze, and he suddenly came to his senses.

He touched the animal skin clothes on his body, and found that it was covered with a layer of dewdrops, and if it weren't for the good waterproofness of the animal skin, it would have been wet a long time ago.

When he woke up, there were only two people left on the tree, him and Zhai Feng, and at this time, Zhai Feng looked at him with a completely impenetrable look.
