2.1 Night of the Flames

Just as Rui's brain was entwined with the branches of memory, two slight footsteps were heard behind her. Rui Gong looked back and saw Ke Zhenshi and Di Qingchuan holding many branches in their arms, and they were walking towards her with the branches and leaves.

Ke Zhenshi was about to speak when he saw Rui Gong, but Rui Gong immediately put his index finger to his mouth, and at the same time beckoned to the two of them, and said softly: "You two, follow me!" ”

Ke Zhenshi held up a bundle of dead branches in his hand and wanted to show off, but when he saw Rui Geng's chattering appearance, he followed with doubts, and Di Qingchuan also tiptoed behind.

"Hey! Where are you taking us? Ke Zhenshi asked curiously.

Rui Gong didn't make a sound, just lowered her body, and the cat got up and walked behind the thorn bushes, stopping from time to time to listen. Ke Zhenshi saw Rui Gong's serious appearance and also learned, but he found that he didn't hear any strange movements except for the roars of beasts coming from time to time in the forest.

At this time, it was just night, all the light seemed to be sucked out by the darkness, the atmosphere in the forest seemed very oppressive, and the road ahead became more and more bleak.

The teenagers walked for a while, and they couldn't help but stop slowly. At this time, in front of the three of them was a piece of emerald leaves as thick as a curtain, which looked like a heavy black soil wall in the dark, and the leaves were layered on top of each other, hiding the three teenagers tightly.

Rui Gong took a deep breath, then probed away from the thick leaves, which wrapped around her to reveal only a pair of bright eyes, and said in a softer voice than before, "Look ahead! Did you see anything strange?! ”

Rui Gong stretched out her hand and pointed to the bushes not far ahead.

"Let me see." Ke Zhenshi couldn't wait, squatted next to Rui Gong, stretched out his hands and pulled the leaves with a big grin, and the sound of "rustling" suddenly sounded.

"Be quiet." Rui Gong lowered her voice a little angrily, and looked around uneasily.

Ke Zhenshi pursed his lips when he saw this, but he didn't refute, just looked ahead curiously through the leaves.

"Holy, what's that?" The next moment, Ke Zhenshi suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, Rui Geng, why are you kicking me?" Ke Zhenshi rubbed his buttocks and looked at Rui Gong in annoyance.

"If you don't want to die, be quiet, you can't live like this, believe it tomorrow or not." Rui Gong stared at him coldly.

"Humph!" Ke Zhenshi snorted heavily, and the way he swallowed his anger made Di Qingchuan almost laugh.

At this time, a bright light was flashing not far in front of everyone, the light was faintly bright yellow, and the light of the flame shone in the darkness, like a lonely lighthouse on the confused sea.

"Like, yes...... Bonfire? Di Qingchuan also saw it, and an inexplicable excitement rose from the bottom of his heart.

"You say, will it be a bonfire for other camping life!" Rui asked him.

"Silly! Have you seen anyone along the way? Even if it's a human being, sneaking around here so late is probably not a good person! Ke Zhenshi retorted.

"What if it weren't?" Di Qingchuan seemed to think that it was a bonfire, and he hoped from the bottom of his heart that it was made by other campers, because it would give him a sense of security.

"Could it be a ghost fire?" Ke Zhenshi said excitedly with apprehension.

"Ghost fire?" Rui Geng's mind suddenly jumped out of the ghost fire stories that many grandmothers had told, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head.

"I ...... I don't think so. Di Qingchuan frowned, and interjected rarely.

Rui Gong also felt that it did not look like a ghost fire, because the flame in front of it was bright and warm, giving people the comfort of the early summer afternoon sun, which was essentially different from the eerie ghost fire.

Rui Gong didn't want to argue uselessly, looked at the two of them and said, "I still can't see it very clearly here, let's go a little further." Reegon also hoped that it was something made by the campers, but seemed to have something else in mind, and that idea had been around since she came out of the cave.

At this time, the sky in the forest had faintly turned into a subtle light and shadow, and the three teenagers were shrouded in a flickering manner. They moved vigilantly towards the place where the fire was, and they did not dare to make too much noise, so they paid attention not only to the thorn bushes that could be seen everywhere, the thorny vines hanging from the trees, but also the dead branches scattered here and there beneath their feet.

After walking for a while, seeing that the light was getting closer and closer, Rui Gong carefully removed the dwarf cedar that blocked her vision, and squinted her eyes to take a closer lookβ€”there was indeed a raging flame there!

But although the campfire was burning very strongly, there was no fuel underneath. Rui Gong wiped his eyes and looked again, only to see that the fire was not burning on the ground, but burning out of thin air in mid-air.

"This ......" The three teenagers looked at each other and turned their heads in tacit agreement to find out. Just as the three of them wanted to keep their eyes on the blazing flame, the flames illuminated a strange creature next to them, and his appearance attracted all the attention of the teenagers.

The appearance of the creature is indescribable, and it is probably better to call it a monster. At first glance, the monster was as large as an elephant, with a strangely shaped crown on its head, a head resembling a tiger's head, and a long white whisker on its chin; On its body, it wears a garment like a deerskin jacket! The exposed limbs are covered with intricate patterns, the texture is simple and full of wild beauty, and what is even more strange is that it does not fall on all fours like an ordinary tiger, but like a human, the lower limbs are coiled, and the upper limbs are retracted into a semicircle in front of the chest, as if meditating! At the same time, a clay tablet-like thing floated on the claws that were closed, and it was looking at it intently. If it weren't for the fact that it obviously had a tiger-like head and a tail dangling from the outside of its clothes, the teenagers might have thought it was human!

At some point, the roars of the beasts and the cries of the birds and insects were gone, and only the bright campfire flickered and crackled in front of them.

Ke Zhenshi and Di Qingchuan stood next to Rui Gong on the left and right, the three teenagers stared blankly wide, staring at everything in front of them in disbelief, at this time the tiger seemed to be thinking about something, slowly stood upright, stretched its head forward, slightly arched its waist, claws on its back, and slowly paced, the white tiger hair on his chin trembled with his steps, like an old pedant, looking serious and funny. The bonfire, which was originally suspended, also swayed from side to side with the pace of the tiger beast, like a dexterous bird, and wherever the tiger beast went, it flew there.

What was happening in front of them was clearly beyond the comprehension of the three teenagers. Rui's brain spun rapidly, trying to combine the little knowledge stored in his head, but the repeated messages from his brain could only be: this is false, the tiger will not walk upright; If it is upright, it must be a holographic life projection made by a new generation of high-tech, of course, it may not be impossible if the genetic modification is successful; But an upright tiger holding an old antique that looks a bit like a mud slab in his hand is so strange that it's far beyond the realm of biology! Because this clay tablet resembles the cuneiform version, a relic of ancient civilization enshrined in the museum's thick glass cover, how can a tiger hold an ancient artifact in his hand and still be calm??? That's magical, isn't it? Certainly not really!!

Thinking of this, Rui Gong unconsciously rubbed his eyes, desperately trying to figure out if he was dreaming. But everything turned out to be in vain.

"Maybe it's because I've seen too many mushrooms before and I'm dazzled, so I'm visually tired and have hallucinations that I shouldn't have." Di Qingchuan was very flustered in his heart and comforted himself.

"Isn't it an antique immersive game? Why did the three of us get caught up in the game world? This is Ke Zhenshi's idea. But he thought back to the dream he had had had, and he thought he might not have woken up yet.

Rui Gong looked at the two faces that were in disbelief on the left and right, gritted his teeth in silence, prostrate himself towards the flames, and secretly stretched out his hand to the front.

Soon, a hint of warmth came from Rui Gong's fingertips, and at this moment her heart pounded wildly, trembling and slowly retreating back into the bushes, she exhaled slowly, trying to calm her mind. As if nothing had happened, the tiger was still pacing slowly with its paws on its back, immersed in its own world.

Rui Gong became even more silent, she remembered what had happened today, and the air seemed to be filled with a strange smell of spirit and evil, and the smell of it made her body rejuvenated; The strange illogical flora and fauna, everything seemed to be like a scene in magic, and it gave her an unprecedented shock, a great shock to the unknown power of life. Although she couldn't tell what this power was, her intuition told her that it would change her life and that there was nowhere to hide.

The forest was eerily quiet. The three teenagers sat down in front of their tunics with bated breath, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

The old monster stopped suddenly, and he didn't know whether he thought or felt something, he raised the mud and stone slab in front of his eyes and looked at it again and again, tugging at his beard and pinching his fingers, and finally looked up at the sky. The three teenagers also unconsciously followed his gaze, but there was nothing but a cold black mass.

The moment they looked up, the monster figure slowly faded away, and by the time the three teenagers looked down, there was only an empty forest left in the same place. If it weren't for the warm flame that remained in mid-air, reminding them that the strange scene had indeed happened just now, they would almost have regarded what they had just seen as an illusion.

The three teenagers waited motionless in the bushes for a long time, lest the monster tiger would suddenly come back at some point, until Ke Zhenshi couldn't help but make a sound because of the numbness of his feet, and the three of them stood up, limped, and cautiously walked out of the bushes.

I saw that the flames occasionally exploded into a bright fireworks, exuding rare light and heat in the silent and dark forest. The teenagers curiously walked up to the flames, trying to find out why the flames were burning. But they searched up and down for a long time, but they couldn't find anything to support its burning, not a single accelerant.

Rui Gong pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the flames. However, her finger was still halfway through, and she felt a burning stinging pain, and she quickly retracted her finger, threw it into her mouth and sucked it a few times, only to get better.

"This fire...... It seems that the temperature is much higher than that of an ordinary campfire......" After a while, Rui Gong said slowly.

Somehow, the flame seemed to be able to understand human speech, and while Rui Gong was speaking, it suddenly bloomed with a "bang" and turned into a larger flame.

Ke Zhenshi's face was red by the firelight, for what he experienced today, he had long felt full of fantasy, and he didn't want to think too much at this time, it was a big deal to treat it as a game experience, maybe he could still farm monsters and upgrade, and get an artifact or something.

Thinking of this, a secret smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, we'...... What's next? Di Qingchuan looked around worriedly, fearing when the tiger beast would come back.

Rui Gong also glanced around, but it was all dark, and those huge and strange plants during the day seemed to have turned into flood beasts at this moment. "For safety reasons, I personally think it's better to stay here and not walk around."

"How do you know it's safe here?" Ke Zhenshi asked curiously.

"Intuition." Rui Gong's tone was not good.

"So, tiger, what to do?" Di Qingchuan also wanted to stay where he was, but his mind always flashed involuntarily to the huge tiger, although it looked very docile, but who knew if it was good or bad.

"You see it's pitch black in the forest now, and there's nothing safer than here; This is not an ordinary tiger, and even if it comes back, we may not be eaten by it, after all, it is still possible to escape; But if we wander around, we will be confronted with beasts of prey that come out in the dark to feed, or other terrible things. ”

As if tired, Rui Gong picked a few large leaves, spread them under him and sat down.

Seeing this, Ke Zhenshi also sat down. Di Qingchuan looked around, as if he had made some great decision, sighed, and slowly squatted down as if resigned to his fate.

The flame also landed from mid-air to the ground with Di Qingchuan's movements, strange to say, although the temperature of the flame was very high, the leaves under the flame were not scorched, which couldn't help but make several people marvel again.

The bonfire was blazing, and from time to time some sparks popped out, and the flames lit up the three solemn teenagers, and the atmosphere gradually became frozen and stiff.

Before today, they could be said to have no acquaintance with each other, but after today's encounter, their future fates are likely to be tied together; At least until they find a way out, they have to work together to survive in this strange and grotesque jungle. At the moment, they could not fully trust each other, so they sat there staring at the fire in a daze.

The scorching flames warmed their bodies, and their thoughts gradually became scattered, and the eyelids of the teenagers drooped uncontrollably.

The night in the forest is more frightening than the day, and the wind blows from nowhere, with a bit of a cold smell, whistling past my ears. The bright moonlight on the strange plants looked bleak and eerie, and from time to time there was some sound of the light being heard, as if something was sticking to the ground, and it was speeding by. And some strange-shaped plants around them also quietly emitted a faint light at some point, like a neon sign suddenly lit up in an abandoned amusement park, which made people panic.

Rui Gong dozed off and tapped her head downward, when a terrible bird's cry sounded from far away, and she was immediately awakened.

Rui Gong hurriedly glanced at the two people who were also sleepy beside her, and then turned her head to look at the silent forest in the dark, obviously nothing abnormal happened, but she felt a chill penetrate her body from the soles of her feet and flow all over her body. At the same time, a suppressed emotion welled up in her heart, giving her the illusion of being abandoned by the world.

"Hey, wake up!" Rui Gong didn't know what to say, she just wanted to break the deathly silence around her at the moment.

"Ah, what's the matter, isn't the tiger coming back to eat us!" Ke Zhenshi immediately jumped up, and with his movements, the bonfire shook like a psychic.

Di Qingchuan also opened his eyes and patted his head with his hand, as if he was blaming himself for falling asleep.

"I don't think everybody should all go to sleep, because if you ......, it will be dangerous." Rui Gong organized her words and said softly.

"I agree." Di Qingchuan's voice trembled slightly, looking at the silhouette of the black forest in front of him, he almost didn't dare to think about whether the few unsuspecting people would survive until dawn the next day if a fierce beast suddenly attacked.

"But I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep! Don't tell me you're not tired! Ke Zhenshi seemed a little unhappy, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

Di Qingchuan sighed, he didn't have a better way.

"What do you think we should do on our first night in the jungle?" Rui asked him.

"I'm okay with that, listen to you, by the way, if only I had time to sleep." Ke Zhenshi has no strength to say.

"Well, how about a few of us take turns keeping vigil, one of us will keep watch and the other two will sleep first?" Rui Gong proposed.

"I agree." Di Qingchuan Road.

"I'm okay with that." Ke Zhenshi squeezed his eyes, and he felt that his eyelids were very sour.

Rui Gong glanced around. "So who's going to start first?"

Ke Zhenshi's eyes rolled up, obviously not wanting to be the first.

"I'd better come first!" Di Qingchuan Road.

Rui Gong nodded. "Then I'm second, Ke Zhenshi last."

After discussing, several people found a place to stay around the bonfire, Rui Gong squatted on the ground with his knees crossed, and Ke Zhenshi lay on the spot, fortunately, the place where the bonfire was located was relatively clean.

The campfire crackled, and the teenagers forced themselves to sleep. The darkness seems to magnify the emotions of individuals infinitely, making their thoughts surge.

Rui Gong thought of his father, and then of his grandmother, thinking that he had finally escaped from Thunder City and returned to Taowu Village, where he had been haunted by his dreams, but now he was trapped in this strange place, and he didn't know when he would be able to go back...... Anyway, grandma is gone! Ay! Grandma's ashes may be sprinkled in this mountain forest, I wonder if my grandmother has seen my current predicament...... Thinking of this, Rui Geng's heart ached faintly, and he didn't know if the temperature of the flame was too high, and it seemed a little blurred. She blinked her eyes hard to calm herself.

"Actually...... Actually, I ...... I don't understand, why did that cave disappear ......", Di Qingchuan's voice as if talking to himself came clearly. He picked up a dead branch and plunged it into the campfire, and when he took it out a long time later, the branch was still intact.

Ke Zhenshi sat up on the ground, but he was not asleep at this time. "I'm also thinking about this, Di Qingchuan, you say, will we unknowingly enter some strange space, that space may be the same as usual dreams, we sleep with our eyes closed, the closed eyelids are like the hole that disappears, and we fall into the dream."

"Ah, this ......" Obviously, Di Qingchuan did not agree with Ke Zhenshi's whimsical ideas. It's not impossible. But he said it anyway.

"Cut, it's boring." Ke Zhenshi pursed his lips and lay back again, while putting his hands behind his head, his legs crossed, and kept shaking.

"I ...... I ......" Di Qingchuan was hesitant, seeing Ke Zhenshi's indifferent attitude, he took back the words in his mouth, and looked at the bonfire in disappointment, and the melancholy in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Rui Gong glanced at Ke Zhenshi and said, "Then you can dream quickly, maybe you can go back." ”

"Hmph, just do it, don't blame me for leaving you when I go back." Ke Zhenshi said indignantly, "By the way, Di Qingchuan, don't fall asleep when you look at it, otherwise that tiger will come back to you in a while, and you will be unlucky." Also, I've heard that there are a lot of man-eating trees in the primeval forest, so you have to take it easy. After speaking, his legs stopped shaking, and he began to pretend to be asleep seriously.

After Di Qingchuan listened, he looked at Rui Gong with helpless eyes, "Rui Gong ......"

Rui Geng smiled and said, "Don't listen to Ke Zhenshi's nonsense, even if the tiger comes back, he will eat him first." ”

"Huh? This...... So, the tiger is really ...... Would really come back. Di Qingchuan said in a panic, and at the same time, his face turned pale, obviously frightened.

"Oh my God!" Rui Gong held his forehead, but still comforted, "Don't worry, no, we're safe here." ”

"That'...... That's good. Di Qingchuan barely calmed down, but his eyes still fluttered involuntarily.

"Well, then I'll sleep first, and if you're too sleepy to stand it, change me." Rui Gong nodded.

"Oh, good, good." Di Qingchuan looked at Rui Gong, and then at Ke Zhenshi, seeing that he was sleeping with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but stick it to the bonfire, as if this could make him more comfortable.

There was a very strange phenomenon near the campfire, which several teenagers had noticed, but they might have overlooked, that is, the huge beast roar and the numerous insect chirpings in the forest seemed to be blocked, so that they did not have to be frightened to wake up by those strange sounds.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, Di Qingchuan was silently guarding the bright bonfire alone, and Rui Gong Ke Zhenshi had already fallen asleep at this time. The bonfire shook Di Qingchuan's figure, and he suddenly remembered the grotesque dream he had when he fell in the black hole during the day today, which was as grotesque as what he saw now.

"Will people like me still be happy?" A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Di Qingchuan's mouth.

I don't know when, Di Qingchuan's bright eyes gradually became blurred, his head shook, and then he tilted on his knees.

The bonfire flickered in place, silently emitting a warmer light, protecting the three unsuspecting teenagers.

The long night passed unconsciously, and the sunlight shone through the leaves on the bodies of the three teenagers.

Rui's closed eyelids twitched as a ray of sunlight hit her eyes. "Huh? Is it dawn? Rui Gong muttered in confusion, raised his head and looked around, only to see that the glowing plants at night had darkened for some time, and the forest had returned to the way it had been when he first saw it yesterday, and the crisp birdsong sounded in the forest one after another, like a long forest chorus.

"Hey, hey, Di Qingchuan." Rui Gong came to his senses, looked at Di Qingchuan and shouted angrily, "What about the vigil that you said you wouldn't sleep?" ”

"Huh?" Di Qingchuan shook his head, his eyes narrowed, and when he saw the bright morning light in front of him, he was stunned, and then his face turned red.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I ...... I ......" Di Qingchuan said at a loss.

"We can't do this next time, otherwise even if we are eaten, no one will know."

Looking at his appearance, Rui Gong didn't want to continue to blame, but he was a little afraid.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Di Qingchuan's eyes were red, and there were faint tears welling up, and he felt that he was so useless at this time.

"Okay, I don't blame you, we were all tired after a day of travel yesterday, so we can only say that we were very lucky, didn't we? Don't think about the past, I really don't blame you. Rui Gong regretted the question just now, obviously Di Qingchuan was not as thick-skinned as Ke Zhenshi.

Di Qingchuan didn't speak anymore, but his fists were clenched, his head was buried low, and his arms were still trembling from exertion.

"Okay, Di Qingchuan, I don't blame you, give me ...... I'm asleep too, maybe faster than you do. Ke Zhenshi stood on tiptoe and patted Di Qingchuan's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry." Di Qingchuan's muffled voice came out.

"It's okay, you see how nice the weather is today, I think it's going to be a good day." Ke Zhenshi stretched heartlessly and took deep breaths at the same time.

He subconsciously glanced at the watch in his hand, but suddenly seemed to have found something, his face was full of surprise, and muttered, "Strange thing, strange thing, my watch actually went for four minutes!" It's 6:04! ”

The air in the forest was really good in the early morning, and Ke Zhenshi felt that if those old people came to live here, they could live to be 100 years old.

At this moment, the bonfire that had been guarding them all night suddenly flew into the air, and the sunlight shone directly on it, as if it had been assimilated.

Rui Gong looked at the vanishing flames and said with sincere gratitude, "Thank you! Although I don't know if you will be able to receive my thanks, there is, thank you, Tiger Da, I wish you all the best. ”

Everyone packed up their moods, looked at this place after staying overnight, and with longing and hope, they set out again to find their way home.

Different from Qifeng Mountain, there is no mist in the forest in the early morning, only a layer of shallow dew on the ground, the water droplets are crystal clear, reflecting the melting morning light shining like pearls.

The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and the forest seemed to be crowded at some point, and the dense unknown ancient trees were one after another, each with several people hugging each other. The sunlight under the forest was blocked by the cascading leaves, and the environment was getting darker, and the three teenagers walked silently in vigilance, looking around from time to time.

There are many trees in the forest that have fallen naturally, probably very old, many of them are rotting, and the leaves on the road are deeper than their feet, making it more and more difficult for the teenagers to walk.

"Sizzle~" A strange hissing sound suddenly came to mind, and at first glance it sounded like the sound of the wind blowing blades of grass.

Rui Gong's heart suddenly suddenly, and the footsteps he had just raised slowly put down in place. His eyes searched the ground, then looked left and right, but there were no beasts in sight, except for the vertical trees and strange plants and dead leaves on the ground.

"Let's go, what are you doing?" Ke Zhenshi said strangely, he had walked behind Rui Gong before, and he had already arrived at Rui Gong's side at this time.

"Shh Rui's eyes rolled rapidly, and she tried to confirm the voice, but she didn't hear a second sound for a long time.

"Rui Gong?" Di Qingchuan also followed.

"It's okay, let's go, everyone be careful." Rui Gong reminded, not staying after speaking, still walking in the front.

The voices in the forest were more mixed, and Di Qingchuan and Ke Zhenshi didn't think much about it. After they were gone, everything in the forest was back to normal, except for the trampled branches and footprints, and the scent inherent to each species!

"Sizzle~" Until they walked away, not far from where Rui Gong had stayed before, a huge triangular ugly head poked out of the ground, and when the skull broke through the branches and leaves, it revealed a huge cave obscured by dead branches and leaves.

The triangular head is raised high, and the mouth has a long tongue that seems to be orienting. The next moment, an unknown body swam out of the hole and galloped forward like lightning.

Rui Gong walked in silence, she felt that she had no intention of thinking about anything else now, for soon after she entered the dense forest, her otherwise happy mood began to become distraught, she did not know what was wrong with her, but the feeling of uneasiness made her almost collapse.

"Rui Gong?" Di Qingchuan touched Rui Gong, and he felt that Rui Gong was in a very bad state, so that his speed could catch up with her.

"Huh? I'm fine! Rui Gong squeezed out a smile.

"If you have something to tell us, don't hold on, that, you won't be trying to make it easier." Ke Zhenshi pinched his chin, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Get out!" Rui Gong didn't come out of the crack.

"Ahem, be gentle." Ke Zhenshi said.

The three teenagers frolicked and walked into the depths of the jungle, perhaps not deep or not, for it was the same for them.

"Rustleβ€”" The sound of a creature speeding on a blade of grass gradually reached the ears of the teenagers from far and near.

"What is this?" Ke Zhenshi stopped and looked at Rui Gong and Di Qingchuan at the same time.

"It's like a snake!" Di Qingchuan judged, he took a deep breath and looked in other directions uneasily.

"Sizzle~"

"This voice!" Rui Gong finally heard the voice she had been looking for, only this time it was not erratic, but like thunder.

The three teenagers' eyes widened, and a distant noise caught their attention. I saw a bucket-thick, yellow-and-white giant snake winding in the distance of the dense forest, a huge triangular ugly head raised high, the pair of vertical pupils like dead leaves gave people a sense of cold-blooded cruelty, and the momentum of the impact almost made the teenagers lose their desire to escape.

"Run!" Rui Gong was horrified, Di Qingchuan Ke Zhenshi suddenly woke up, and the three of them ran forward without looking back.

"Sizzle-" As if knowing that its prey had spotted it, the serpent sped up again, leaving only afterimages in its path, and many tiny trees on its path were almost pushed sideways.

"Mom, am I Ke Zhenshi going to die here today." Ke Zhenshi didn't forget to look back at the giant snake when he was running, and when he saw the arrogant appearance of the giant snake, his courage was almost frightened, and he couldn't help but run faster.

Rui Gong and Di Qingchuan didn't speak, but Di Qingchuan's legs and feet were not flexible, at this time he was already a few positions behind the two of them, his beautiful face was pale, his legs actually began to tremble, and he was about to fall.

The giant snake quickly came to a distance of dozens of meters behind the three of them, and its hideous mouth cracked to both sides, as if it saw a delicious meal about to reach its mouth, "Sizzle-" The giant snake hissed excitedly.

As the teenagers fled, the surrounding woods gradually opened up, and the environment seemed to enter the cold autumn from midsummer, the trees withered, the branches and leaves withered, and the withered yellow color seemed to become the main theme here.

Rui Gong forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and looked back behind him with a frightened face, at this time, Di Qingchuan, who fell at the end of the team, was only a short ten meters away from the big snake, and he might be buried in the belly of the snake in the next moment, "What should I do?" What to do? Rui Gong racked her brains and thought that there was nothing she could do.

"Help, Ke Zhenshi, Rui Geng, help me." Di Qingchuan's face was bloodless, he couldn't help but cry for help, his voice trembled and desperate, with a thick cry, there had never been a time when he felt that he was so close to death, this feeling of running on the tip of the death knife was so big and weak compared to the pain he had always thought he had.

Ke Zhenshi ran the fastest at this time, and when he heard Di Qingchuan's cry for help, he trembled in his heart, this young man who had always cared about anything, finally had a question at this moment that was biting him like a beast, "Do I want to watch him die?" ”。 Ke Zhenshi looked back at Di Qingchuan who was close to the snake's mouth as he ran, and he felt that his running was so strenuous at this time that he slowly stopped.

Rui Geng's footsteps also stopped slowly, she glanced at Ke Zhenshi, and admired this cheerful young man a little in her heart. The two looked at each other, nodded firmly in silence, and then turned to look at the approaching serpent.

Because a few people in the panic didn't pay attention to the changes in the environment, if the surrounding area was still a scene of cold autumn and dead leaves, now it is like being in a rotten swamp.

"Rui Geng, Ke Zhenshi." Di Qingchuan desperately tried to grab a life-saving straw. At this time, his mind was completely blank, and he just looked at the two of them with hopeful eyes, as if that was his lifeline.

"Sizzle~" The giant snake raised its head and hissed high-pitched in front of it, its roar was inexplicably suppressed, as cautious as if it had met an opponent, and its speed was not as fast as it started, and its indifferent vertical pupils revealed the coexistence of fear and anxiety.

Seeing that Di Qingchuan was about to step into that swampy territory, the giant snake flashed sharply in his eyes, opened his mouth and bit down viciously with a colossal momentum, and the snake's head quickly swept through the air in the hunt, bringing up a large series of afterimages.

"Don't eat me!" Di Qingchuan only felt his heart broken, as if he sensed the imminent death, and turned his head to look at the hideous Shekou in a daze, even if the snake's head was so fast at the moment, he could clearly see that the fangs in its mouth were approaching. Like the last light of life, Ke Zhenshi felt that everything was so slow, he saw Rui Gong and Ke Zhenshi running towards him in front of him, shouting loudly, but he couldn't hear it, death came!

"Boom!" The huge snake's mouth slammed into the ground, and then the giant snake's mouth closed and quickly retreated, as if there was an irresistible beast in front of it, putting it in a defensive posture.

Rui Gong and Ke Zhenshi collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

"Whew~, whew~, it's so thrilling, it's so exciting, hey, you owe me my life." The sweat on Ke Zhenshi's face flowed down like a stream, and he couldn't tell whether he was scared or tired.

In the middle of the two, it was Di Qingchuan with a dull face, and his eyes gradually became smart from dead numbness. "I ...... I'm not dead? Di Qingchuan touched his face in disbelief, turned his head and asked Ke Zhenshi in a daze.

"Of course you're not dead, Rui Gen and I pulled you out of Shekou." Ke Zhenshi said proudly.

"Thank you, thank you!" Di Qingchuan said in a low voice,

"You don't have to be grateful to me, because the snake hasn't gone yet!" Ke Zhenshi quipped.

"Ah, then you guys run, don't worry about me, I can't run!" Di Qingchuan said in a panic.

"We want to run, too, but now stop, our legs don't seem to be listening!" Ke Zhenshi said with annoyance.

"It doesn't seem like there's a need to run, you see, the big snake is somehow wandering there, and it just doesn't chase after it." Rui Gong said.

Di Qingchuan turned his head to look, only to see that the hateful snake was staring at him with his eyes fixed on him at this time, and his unwilling gaze almost turned into substance, but he just didn't chase after it.

"What do we do now?" Ke Zhenshi glanced at the big snake and made a grimace at it, causing the big snake to roar.

"I don't know, but the back road is blocked, and we can only move forward." Rui Gong got up from the ground and dusted it off.

"Heroes see the same thing." Ke Zhenshi shrugged his shoulders and said, and pulled Di Qingchuan with his hand, Di Qingchuan almost didn't pull him down with both hands.
