Chapter 93: The Beast
The figure was very slender and walked very lightly, Li Changjing opened his eyes slightly, looked closely, and found that it was actually Bai Yueling.
Perhaps tired, most of the people around him were asleep, only the bonfire was still burning, and from time to time there was a crisp sound of branches being burned.
Bai Yueling took her dagger and walked cautiously in the direction his brother had left without alarming anyone.
Li Changjing straightened up, suddenly lost his sleepiness, guessing that this Bai Yueling should have pretended to be asleep just now, and waited until everyone else was resting before secretly running out, intending to find her brother.
Li Changjing frowned slightly, although it was none of his business, and he didn't bother to care, but after thinking about it carefully, now in the middle of the night, I don't know what beasts will be on the mountain, in case something happens to Bai Yueling, these people they left behind must have the responsibility of not being strict with care, and when Li Changjing, as an outsider, will definitely be the first object of Bai Hua's anger.
Thinking of this, Li Changjing had no choice but to stand up, quietly follow behind Bai Yueling, and leave the ridge.
Born in Orion, Bai Yueling also has a certain ability to trace and argue, through the footprints on the ground, some trampled grass and other subtle traces, she didn't get lost at first.
However, she was not experienced enough, and after approaching the top of the mountain, the wind was strong, and the surrounding trees and grass were blown to the ground, and she could no longer see whether there was any trace of being trampled on; In the last few days, the weather has been fine, the frost and snow on the top of the mountain have long been sunburned, and the ground is dry, and there are no footprints to be seen, so she quickly lost her way, ran around in the woods, and completely became a headless fly.
Li Changjing quietly followed behind, and after watching for a while, he finally couldn't help it, so he walked out and said to the girl who was already so anxious that she was about to cry: "Didn't your brother usually teach you to be calm in case of trouble?" ”
Leng Buding heard someone speak, Bai Yueling was startled, and only after turning around and seeing that it was Li Changjing, she was relieved, but she quickly became vigilant again, pointed the dagger in her hand at Li Changjing, and said coldly: "What are you doing with this little white face following me?" I tell you, if you dare to plot against me, I ...... I'm going to kill you! ”
"Okay, then I'll go back now, don't you come along." Li Changjing said lightly, turned around and made a gesture to leave.
"Don't go!" Bai Yueling was anxious, stomped her feet and said, "If you leave, what if you leave me here alone?" ”
Li Changjing looked at her panicked appearance, raised his eyebrows, and pointed to the dagger in her hand with his chin, "If you want me to stay, then quickly put the knife away for me." ”
"You can, but you can't come within five steps of me!"
Li Changjing nodded indifferently, raised his hands, and sat under a tree a few meters away from her.
Bai Yueling saw that Li Changjing was so obedient, so she breathed a sigh of relief, put the dagger back into the leather scabbard on her waist, and followed to find a place to sit down.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing on people's faces, cold and painful, like being cut by a knife.
In this kind of inaccessible place, only a torch in Bai Yueling's hand emitted a not-so-faint light, and the flames were blown from side to side by the wind, as if they would be extinguished at any time.
After being silent for a while, Li Changjing took the lead in asking, "Are you planning to find your brother and see how he hunts at night?" ”
Bai Yueling was said to be in her mind, and couldn't help but hum: "So what? But after finishing speaking, her face became resentful again, and she said aggrievedly: "It's all his fault, he doesn't take me there every time he hunts, saying that it's a man's job, and girls have to stay at home honestly and do some needlework......"
"It's hard to hunt, and it's dangerous." Li Changjing said softly: "Your brother is also for your good, you should understand." ”
"What's the matter with you!" Bai Yueling said angrily: "Did I let you speak?" Shut up! ”
Li Changjing shrugged his shoulders and said in his heart that he was really kind to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
After a few minutes, Bai Yueling became a little irritable, grabbed the grass on the ground with her hands, and said angrily: "Hey, should we continue to look for my brother, or go back to the camp, you should give an opinion?" ”
"There's no time to go back." Li Changjing shook his head, "The torch in your hand will be extinguished in less than ten minutes, and when the time comes, the lights will be blind, and there will be so many cliffs around, maybe you will fall down if you are not careful." ”
"Besides, your brother doesn't know how far he has walked, he may have reached the other side of the mountain now, it is farther than the way back, don't expect to catch up."
"What then?" Bai Yueling curled up her shoulders, her teeth chattering, and said, "I'm dying of cold, you can think of a way!" ”
"There is a way." Li Changjing raised two fingers: "One, don't run blindly, just wait where you are, and wait for the people in the camp to find out that we are gone; Second, let's wait here, and when your brother comes back, you should be able to meet. ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense!" Bai Yueling said angrily: "Sure enough, people with stunted limbs have a low IQ, if I really had to wait for others to find me, I would have frozen to death a long time ago!" ”
"Who is to blame for this?" Li Changjing was about to take a nap, so he leaned his head on the tree and said calmly: "If you don't sneak out, will this happen?" ”
"You!" Bai Yueling pointed at Li Changjing, so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, and finally had to plunge the dagger into the ground, gritted her teeth and said, "You wait for me, and I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" ”
"Besides, the dress you're wearing is made of the skin of the leopard, right?" Li Changjing frowned, and kindly reminded: "The golden leopard is a first-class protected animal, I advise you not to wear it to a crowded place, if it is discovered by the relevant departments, the consequences will be very serious." ”
"Don't worry about it!" Bai Yueling was obviously angry, her pretty face was full of anger, and she glared at Li Changjing angrily.
Li Changjing shook his head, simply closed his eyes, out of sight.
I don't know how long it took, but the moon in the sky burrowed into the clouds, and the only faint light that could be seen in the distance of the woods was completely gone.
It was indeed very cold on the top of the mountain, but Li Changjing had a cluster of magical flames running around in his body, so he didn't feel cold at all, and on the other hand, Bai Yueling, because Aimei was only wearing a dress, was so cold that she shrunk at the moment, her lips were bruised, and the torch inserted next to her was on the verge of extinguishing, and only a faint flame was swaying.
Li Changjing realized that it was not a way to go on like this, don't wait for the people in the camp or Bai Baihua to come back, this Bai Yueling will freeze to death first, he thought about it, or stood up, and prepared to call Bai Yueling to go back in the dark.
At this moment, taking advantage of the faint light of the torch, Li Changjing suddenly saw a pair of green and faint eyes appear behind Bai Yueling, very cold and gloomy, full of violence and blood.
Li Changjing's face changed, he walked to Bai Yueling's side in two steps, and found that she was about to fall asleep, so he had to shake her shoulder and shouted in a low voice: "Don't sleep, get up quickly!" ”
Bai Yueling woke up in an instant, found that Li Changjing was so close to her, hurriedly pushed him away, checked her clothes anxiously, and said sharply: "You...... What do you want to do to me! ”
"If you don't want to die, follow me." Li Changjing's eyes were fixed on the darkness behind her, and he said in a deep voice.
"Why, you still dare to threaten me?" Bai Yueling gritted her teeth and said, "Little white face, you want me to obey you, there is no door!" As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger on the ground, and said proudly: "I have a knife, if you dare to come, I will definitely ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Changjing had already reached out and pressed her head down, and this press just saved her life, a huge but agile beast jumped over her, and its fishy mouth was only an inch away from her hair.
Although Bai Yueling lacked hunting experience, her keen sense still made her realize that something had just passed overhead, and she screamed in fright: "What is that!?" ”
At this time, the last flame of the torch next to him was finally extinguished, and the sight immediately fell into absolute darkness.
Human beings have a natural fear of claustrophobic and dark environments, and without torches, Bai Yueling panicked all of a sudden, hurriedly got up, and couldn't care about anything else, grabbing Li Changjing's arm tightly with both hands, and her body couldn't help shaking.
At this time, the moon in the sky came out of the clouds again, and Li Changjing's eyesight was better than that of ordinary people, and at a glance, he saw a beast standing more than ten meters away from the left oblique angle.
