Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Mysterious Beast

Although Xu Siyu often followed Gong Qingyang to collect medicine in the mountains, he was quite familiar with the terrain of this mountain forest, but after walking through the mountains and forests for a long time, the four of them did not find many edible wild vegetables, because the people in the village often look for wild vegetables in the mountains to enrich themselves, resulting in a shortage of wild vegetables in the mountains and forests.

As a last resort, the four of them relied on the large number of people, and they were a little bolder, and walked towards the depths of the mountain, Xiao Lin Xin was obviously a little scared, and his little hand tightly grasped the corner of Lin Qing's clothes, but Liu Hao didn't think so, looking very relaxed.

Xu Siyu has been collecting medicine in this mountain forest all the year round, and she also knows that there are no vicious beasts in this mountain forest, but she doesn't know if she goes deeper, as a girl, she and Lin Qing are a little scared in their hearts, but they are not as obvious as Xiao Lin Xin.

As they went deeper and deeper, they picked more and more wild vegetables, surrounded by tall trees, and the sunlight cast down from the gaps in some dense leaves, imprinted on the ground covered with leaves, scattered and mottled with light and shadow.

This is not the same as the periphery of the mountain forest, because of the influence of the locust plague, the periphery of the mountain forest, more or less damaged, but in the depths of this mountain forest, it is different, there are many more birds and insects around here, it can be said that the ears are endless, as if the depths are in the primeval forest that has been trodden by humans......

At this time, the ground gradually could be seen, some big beast footprints, I don't know what kind of beast footprints, Xiao Lin Xin's little face was a little pale, and her immature voice trembled with fear: "Sister, let's go back, we've picked enough wild vegetables...."

Reaching out to hold his sister's little hand, Lin Qing was also a little uneasy in his heart, and slowly said, "Why don't we go back, I feel that something is wrong here." ”

"Hmm." As a girl, Xu Siyu was also a little scared, and responded softly and agreed.

Liu Hao frowned slightly, looked at the strange beast footprints on the ground, looked up and looked around, but inadvertently saw a somewhat large orange tree, the tree was full of big yellow oranges one after another, and said happily at the moment: "There is an orange tree over there, let's go pick some oranges and go back." ”

Hearing this, several people looked in the direction pointed by Liu Hao, and sure enough, they saw a big orange tree, which was full of yellow oranges, and they couldn't help but be a little happy at the moment.

Liu Hao was bold, he had been the king of children since he was a child, and he trotted towards the orange tree with his feet. Seeing this, Lin Qing and the others had no choice but to follow.

Seeing that several people ran over first, Dudu stuck out his long tongue, and was not far behind, and wagged his tail on all fours, and in a short time he overtook several people, ran to the front, and soon reached the orange tree.

was overtaken by Dudu, Liu Hao suddenly scolded a little unhappily: "Why did you stupid dog run so fast, why don't you go up the tree now?" ”

"Wang!" Dudu stuck out his long tongue, heard the words, and shouted at Liu Hao dissatisfiedly.

Glancing at Dudu, Liu Hao ignored it, looking at the orange tree in front of him that was much bigger than usual, with dense branches and leaves, the sunlight shining through the cracks, and the yellow oranges were hanging high on the tree one by one, Liu Hao did not hesitate, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to climb.

The three girls looked up at the orange tree that was a little too big, and they were all a little surprised, and Xiao Lin Xin couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, what a big orange tree!" ”

"Liu Hao, be careful." Seeing that Liu Hao had rolled up his sleeves and had already begun to climb the tree, Lin Qing instructed with some concern.

Liu Hao was nimble with his hands and feet, and climbed the orange tree in a few clicks, when he heard Lin Qing's concerned voice, he turned his head and smiled at her: "It's okay." ”

Glancing at the three people under the tree and smiling at them, Liu Hao didn't pay much attention to it and continued to climb to the heights.

Looking at the yellow oranges scattered on the ground, the three girls were very happy and began to pick up these good oranges that fell on the ground.

Reaching out to pick up an orange on the ground, Xu Siyu looked at the orange over and over again, and found that it was good and not rotten, and the corner of his lips couldn't help but leak a smile, and put the orange backhand in the small back basket behind him.

got up and walked a few steps forward again, Xu Siyu leaned down and stretched out his little white hand, picked up an orange again, picked it up and looked at it, and found that only one side of this orange was good, and the other side had rotted, and there was a faint smell of rottenness, which was very disgusting......

Xu Siyu hurriedly threw away the broken orange, and just looked up to see if there were any good oranges around, but he suddenly saw a deep fresh claw mark on the body of a big tree not far ahead, and the scratch leaked out of the white body inside, which was obviously left not long ago......

Secretly startled, a sense of foreboding slowly surged into my heart...... Xu Siyu suddenly remembered in his mind a few years ago, the hideous and terrifying claw marks on the chest of the injured hunter, I don't know what kind of beast caused it...... It's very similar to the scratches on this tree......

Liu Hao climbed up a section higher, holding the trunk with one hand, and wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead with the other hand with a little tiredness, he sighed, he was in a high place, condescendingly raised his eyes and looked around at all the scenes below, cool and blowing on his body, when it was cool, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Standing high, really look at it......"

The exclamation in his heart suddenly stopped, Liu Hao's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes stared straight at the grass not far below, where the grass was trembling slightly, and he could vaguely see the huge body looming under the grass through the gaps in the dense branches and leaves of the grass, and the gray hair......

And at a certain moment, not easily, between the gaps in the dense branches and leaves, Liu Hao actually saw a big eye with a cold gaze and some bloodshots......

On the ground, Dudu suddenly looked in a direction, and the big tail wagging behind him slowly stopped, and his mouth gently made a vigilant and threatening sound... A posture like a great enemy.

"Dudu, what's going on?" As soon as he threw away a bad orange, Xiao Lin Xin looked up and saw Dudu's abnormal reaction, and said in a somewhat confused voice.

Hearing this, Lin Qing turned his head and looked at the abnormal Dudu, although he was a little puzzled, but an ominous premonition slowly appeared in his heart. Although I don't know why Dudu is so vigilant and keeps staring in that direction, I can guess that there must be something in that direction that makes this five-year-old dog jealous, even afraid......

Looking at the deep scratches on the trunk, Xu Siyu subconsciously had an ominous premonition, feeling that she couldn't stay here, and just turned her head to tell Lin Qing and a few people, but she heard Xiao Lin Xin's puzzled voice, and at the same time saw Dudu's abnormal behavior, which further verified the bad premonition in her heart...

At that moment, Xu Siyu said in a hurry: "Sister Lin Qing, let's get out of here quickly!" ”

"Hmm" Lin Qing hurriedly responded, she also had a bad feeling in her heart, and was about to raise her head to ask Liu Hao to come down from the tree at this time, an orange suddenly fell in front of her, Lin Qing was startled, and quickly covered her mouth, almost screaming in fright.

Lin Qing and the three of them raised their heads at the same time, and looked at the trees in unison, and suddenly they were stunned for a while, the sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, Liu Hao stepped on the tree, and kept holding the trunk of the tree, at this time he was anxiously waving his hands to several people, and the shape of his mouth kept changing, but he didn't seem to dare to make a sound....

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Siyu and the others quickly came back to their senses, and the fools could see that Liu Hao's anxious appearance was to let a few people leave here quickly!

Lin Qing and the three of them understood, they didn't care about the oranges that fell on the ground, they didn't dare to stay longer, they beckoned to Liu Hao, asked him to come down quickly, and then called Dudu, turned around and returned the way he came.

Xu Siyu and Lin Qing both knew that this kind of moment could not delay time, the reason why Liu Hao was so anxious to urge must have his reasons, if he stayed and waited for him together, this would be completely unwise and foolish, so several people chose to go first.

Looking at the back of the third girl, Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the hiding place of the unknown beast before, and his pupils suddenly shrank again, and the grass on the ground was no longer there, and there was no such beast!

Liu Hao looked around in a panic, looked around for a long time, but unexpectedly didn't see the huge figure with gray hair, the cold sweat on his forehead slowly slid down, Liu Hao turned his head to look in the direction of Lin Qing and the others to escape, and now there is no trace of their backs...

Liu Hao couldn't help but have a possibility in his heart, how many people had already gone to the beast that he didn't know what it was? Thinking of this possibility, he hurriedly shook his head, vetoed the idea, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, and began to worry about Lin Qing and the others in his heart.

Unable to care more, Liu Hao stretched out his hand and picked a few oranges, and threw them in the opposite direction of Lin Qing's escape, and after doing this, he hurriedly climbed down the tree.

If that unknown beast had already gone towards Lin Qing and them, Liu Hao would not dare to chase after them. On the contrary, if that beast didn't chase after Lin Qing and them, then the few oranges he threw in the opposite direction just now, the sound he made, maybe to attract the attention of that beast, then it would be convenient to escape.

It was very slow to climb up the tree, but it was much faster to come down from the tree, Liu Hao was agile, and he came down from the trunk for a while, without staying too long, he raised his feet and chased in the direction where Lin Qing and the others disappeared...
