Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 42 Dilemma

"Come and see!" Mu Feng pointed to the ground and said suddenly.

Chu Tianyi and the others came to him and looked at Mu Feng's flashlight. It is located by the river, there is a lot of moisture, and the soil next to the rocks is relatively soft, so there are a few clear footprints left on the grass next to the boulders.

The footprints are wide and heavy, especially the five sharp paw prints in the front section.

The bearded man crouched down and measured it with his hand, "It looks like a brown bear's footprint." ”

"Like?" Mu Feng frowned slightly, "Can't you be sure?" ”

The bearded man stood up, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Brother Feng, it stands to reason that I can see it, if I just look at the footprints, I can be sure that this is left by a brown bear, but the black shadow that escaped just now doesn't look like a bear, it's as fast as a monkey!" ”

"There are inevitably one or two outstanding abilities in any population." Mu Feng patted the soil on his body and stood up, "Maybe we met Bolt in the bear!" After he finished speaking, he walked towards the camp, took two steps and looked back, only to find Chu Tianyi, Xiao Meng, and the bearded man looking at him in surprise.

Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm just kidding." ”

Chu Tianyi was a little helpless, "Big brother, when you are so serious, it's not suitable for joking." ”

"Relax," Mu Feng said nonchalantly, "I don't think that guy is that dangerous, at least for now it's just a peep." ”

"Okay," Chu Tianyi nodded, "I hope it's just a voyeur." After speaking, seeing the bearded man and Xiao Meng looking at him in surprise, Chu Tianyi shrugged his shoulders, "I'm also joking." ”

Back at the camp, the bearded man held a shotgun in his hand and looked around from time to time, "You guys go in and sleep for a while, I'll keep watch." ”

"I can't sleep for a while, I'll be here with you." Xiao Meng also sat by the fire with a gun. The bearded man looked at him and nodded.

Chu Tianyi and Mu Feng returned to the tent, but at this time he was already sleepy, listening to the crackling sound of the firewood burning outside, he looked at the roof of the tent in a daze.

Mu Feng next to him didn't make any movement except for steady breathing, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

I don't know why, Chu Tianyi always had a strange feeling in his heart when he entered the mountain with Mu Feng this time, but it was not clear what it was.

Early the next morning, the bearded man refilled the soup left over from the previous day's pot and cooked some more noodles. After eating, the four of them put away their equipment and moved on.

The soft morning sun shines through the trees. The dew that had been condensed overnight began to steam, and the bottom of the forest valley was filled with this layer of white veil of mist. There are also a variety of beautiful birdsong around, and the fresh and humid air in the canyon is a bit intoxicating. If it weren't for the strange thing that happened last night, it would have been a perfect morning.

They continued to move along the river, the river became more and more turbulent, and the river surface was gradually widening, Chu Tianyi felt that this should be due to gradually getting closer to the source of the water.

Sure enough, after more than 500 meters, a waterfall rushed down from the cliff on one side, hitting the rocks at the bottom of the river, splashing a large amount of mist. Coupled with the fact that there is already a faint layer of fog in the canyon in the early morning, the visibility here drops dramatically.

Xiao Meng touched the water on his eyes, "It's almost out of sight, let's go." After a while, the clothes were wet. ”

The bearded man didn't forget to remind as he walked, "It's too foggy here, everyone follow up, don't fall behind." ”

This time, Mu Feng walked in the front, the bearded man followed, followed by Chu Tianyi, and finally Xiao Meng. After walking a few steps, Xiao Meng suddenly pulled Chu Tianyi, "Brother Yi, did you hear any sound?" ”

"Voice? No, I don't. Chu Tianyi shook his head and listened attentively, except for the sound of water coming from the waterfall, he didn't hear any other sounds.

"But why did I just hear a strange sound?" Xiao Meng said a little nervously.

Chu Tianyi looked at him and found that Xiao Meng was quite fierce when he was outside the mountain, and he didn't care about fighting one against four, but since entering this canyon, especially after experiencing the incident that almost killed him last time, Xiao Meng has become a little sensitive.

Chu Tianyi smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Meng, "You go quickly, don't be suspicious!" He pushed the little one forward, and he walked behind the line.

The two of them delayed for a while, and because the fog was too big, the bearded and Mu Feng figures in front of them were already faintly visible. Xiao Meng hurriedly shouted, "Brother Huzi, wait for us." ”

"Hurry up!" The bearded voice came from the fog in front of him, Xiao Meng ran a few steps forward, turned back to Chu Tianyi and shouted, "Brother Yi, keep up!" ”

"Here," Chu Tianyi beckoned, but he had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a "snap" sound behind him. Chu Tianyi couldn't help but stop, could it be that what Xiao Meng said was the truth, there were indeed strange sounds around. He turned his head to look back, but saw nothing. There was only a white patch in the mist.

Chu Tianyi didn't see anything abnormal, so he turned his head and walked forward again, and he quickly followed the figure in front of him. He wanted to tell Xiao Meng that he had also heard a strange noise, but he was worried that this kind of unwarranted thing would increase Xiao Meng's psychological burden, so he finally decided not to mention it for the time being.

After walking forward for a while, Chu Tianyi suddenly felt that something was not right, the sound of the waterfall had been lingering around, and it seemed that he could not go out, could it be that there was something wrong with the route.

Chu Tianyi looked at the figure in front of him, and wanted to stop Xiao Meng, but he had just taken a few steps forward, and suddenly froze, I don't know when, the figure in front of him had a huge head, this was not Xiao Meng's back at all, but very similar to the strange black shadow that appeared last night!

Chu Tianyi suddenly felt numb all over his body, and both legs were a little stiff. He gasped and slowly backed away. But he soon stopped again. Chu Tianyi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then pulled out the short knife on his waist, and after a little hesitation, he bent down and picked up a stone.

But when he raised his head again, he found that the black shadow in front of him was gone!

Chu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, and quickly ran to the location where the black shadow was just now, but the surrounding fog was foggy and empty. I didn't see any strange shadows, not even the bearded and Mu Feng's figures.

Chu Tianyi was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help shouting, "Brother Feng, Brother Beard, Xiao Meng!" Where are you?? Even a few shouts, no one responded. He frowned vigorously, and was about to look back.

But as soon as he turned around, a big white face suddenly appeared behind him, and two black eyes stared straight at him. Chu Tianyi was unprepared, he screamed in fright, and subconsciously slashed with a knife. However, a knife in this panic slashed into the air, Chu Tianyi was driven by inertia to turn around, and then stepped on the air, and his body fell off a rock with a crooked body.

Fortunately, the rock is not high, and Chu Tianyi is quite agile in reaching out, and after barely landing on his feet, he hurriedly stood up and turned around and ran. He ran to the river in one go, only to find that the waterfall he had just passed was on a cliff not far away.

Only then did Chu Tianyi realize that he had walked for so long and had not walked out at all. Mu Feng and the others disappeared at this time, and the monster should still be hidden in the mist. He looked behind him, the mist fluttering slightly, and he couldn't find where the monster had gone. Not far away, a boulder straddles the river. He thought about it and climbed up, and stepped on a boulder across the river.

Although Chu Tianyi understood that he couldn't completely get rid of that monster in this way, but with the barrier of the river, he could at least delay for some time. He kept running along the river, looking left and right as he ran, and at this time, Chu Tianyi was most worried about the whereabouts of Mu Feng and the others. "Could it be that something has happened to them?" But he thought about it again, "Even if they were attacked, it would be impossible for the three of them to be silent at all." ”

Chu Tianyi was still thinking about it in his heart, and suddenly saw a boulder lying on the surface of the river in the river. He suddenly stopped, frozen in place. The scene was so familiar, it was as if I had just walked by.

Chu Tianyi walked over and looked at it carefully. Finally he understood his true situation, and a terrible word appeared in his mind - ghost hitting the wall, which made Chu Tianyi shudder.

This kind of thing, he originally thought it was just the plot of the novel, but he didn't expect that he would actually encounter it. Chu Tianyi found that all the knowledge he had learned over the years could not be used at this time, and in the face of such a predicament, he was helpless at all, and his heart panicked.

Chu Tianyi was like a headless fly, repeating the route just now again and again, and the boulder appeared in front of him again and again, shattering the increasingly slim hope again and again. Finally, Chu Tianyi couldn't walk anymore, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he sat down on the ground, panting heavily, with indescribable despair in his heart.

He couldn't help but wonder if Mu Feng and the others would come back to look for him if they found out that they were gone, but if they came back, would they also fall into the same predicament at this time.

Chu Tianyi was thinking about it, and the river not far behind him was rumbling, which was the sound of someone wading through the water. Despite the contradictory thoughts just now, he still hoped that Mu Feng and they appeared.

He eagerly looked back, but was horrified to find that there was a black shadow with a huge head coming from the water.

Chu Tianyi subconsciously jumped up and wanted to run, but he soon realized a problem, he couldn't run out at all. He laughed miserably and shook his head, then turned around, raised his short knife and said to the black shadow not far away, "I don't care what you are, you can't run anyway, we just compare who is more powerful!" ”

While speaking, Chu Tianyi clenched the short knife and put on a fighting posture, "I won, maybe I have a chance to live, if I lose, I'll go see my grandfather." ”
