Li Huaishan interjected as if he was speechless: "This forest is old enough." ”

The deep mountains and old forests are deep in the mountains and the old forests, the forests are not old, how can they be called old forests, Li Huaishan is just nothing to say.

I gave him a blank look: "Don't grind your mouth here, just say anything straight." ”

Li Huaishan came to me with a smile and said to me: "I asked Brother Niu about the situation in the old forest before, and I heard him say that although this place is not far from the village, the people in the village never dare to come in, even he came in with the big witch once when he was a child, so he doesn't know much about the situation in the old forest. ”

He didn't talk about the topic for a long time, and I knew what kind of thoughts he had, so he tilted his chin to the left of the old man and instructed Li Huaishan: "If you have something to say, there are no outsiders." ”

I heard Li Huaishan continue: "Brother Niu said that this old forest has been isolated from the world for many years, and the sky in the forest, the land in the forest, and the grass and trees in the forest have long been different from the outside. To put it bluntly, this is a completely independent small world, and in this place, the experience and common sense we have accumulated over the years may not be useful. ”

It was a vague statement, but I understood what he meant.

Li Huaishan's implication was that since this place was different from the outside world, it was very likely that it had some kind of connection with the quadruple space.

No wonder he was talking around just now, because of the matter of the fourfold space, I haven't told Lao Zuoming yet, this is a secret between me and Wu Lin, it is not appropriate for too many people to know, even if the other party is Lao Zuo, Li Huaishan has been with me for so long, so he naturally knows what kind of mind I have.

I took out a cigarette pack from my backpack, handed Li Huaishan a cigarette, and lit one myself.

Lao Zuo didn't like the smell of smoke, so he deliberately sat farther away, and said: "It's been almost a day since I entered the forest, and so far, I haven't found that there is too much abnormality in the Qi field here." ”

I said, "Maybe it's because we're not walking deep enough, and if we walk all day, we'll have to run into something different." ”

According to Li Huaishan's estimate, it will take us four full days to reach the entrance of Mud Town, and we will travel for two days in a row, just to reach the central area of this old forest, which is the deepest part of the old forest, where all the ghosts and spirits may be dormant.

Liang Houzai heated the rice bowl, and the aroma had risen over the camp at this time, and everyone was hungry after walking for so long, so they took the biscuits and canned meat in the rice tank, and raised the mountains under the clean night sky.

Although the members of the team have become different from before, but the rules of taking turns to keep vigil remain unchanged, after dinner, I asked Lao Zuo to rest first, I came to guard the first night sentry, after me was Liang Houzai, then Li Huaishan, Lao Zuo guarded the last shift.

Li Huaishan heard Brother Niu say that there may be wolves in the old forest, so the bonfire cannot be extinguished, and the beasts in the mountains are usually afraid of fire, and the more they keep the fire bright, the safer they are at night.

Huang Yuzhong and Liu Shangang also set up a sentry post on the mountainside on the side, they were three or four hundred meters away from me, I looked around carefully in the forest and saw them, because the fire on the mountain bag was relatively bright, with Huang Yuzhong's eyesight, I could see me clearly.

The two of them chose a stout tree as a sentry camp, Liu Shangang must have dismantled a bullet and sprinkled gunpowder around the tree, I saw a lot of artificially sprinkled powder under the trunk, and Huang Yuzhong sharpened a dozen wooden nails to defend against wild beasts climbing up the treetops.

I waved my hand at Huang Yuzhong, and when Huang Yuzhong saw me, he also raised his hand and waved it twice, which was considered a response.

After a short while, Huang Yuzhong picked up the flashlight again and swept it towards me, as if trying to get my attention, I turned my head to face him, and he grabbed a flare and shook it vigorously, which meant that if there was a situation, they would fire a flare to warn us.

I nodded in understanding.

Actually, to be honest, Huang Yuzhong didn't have to shake that flare gun in front of me at all, because even if he didn't do anything, when the quotation mark sheet burst into light in the night sky, we knew that there must be something going on on the side of the dark whistle.

Huang Yuzhong did this to remind Liu Shangang that I also have a vision far beyond ordinary people, and remind him that in this regard, I am better than Zuo Youdao.

How could Liu Shangang not know what Huang Yuzhong meant, so after Huang Yuzhong made this series of moves, Liu Shangang's face obviously became a little ugly.

Lao Zuo and I didn't say that we had to earn something that I was higher than you and you lower, but the people around us were the first to fight, and it was really a headache to think about.

During the two hours of my vigil, nothing unusual happened, and when the two hours passed, I woke up Liang Houzai and handed over his shift.

In the past, when I was camping in the wilderness, even if I slept, I was always half-asleep, and I couldn't sleep at all unless it was time to dream, but today I don't know what happened, I just lay down not long ago, and I slept quite deeply, and I didn't have the feeling of screaming while falling asleep in the past, and I could still hear the movement outside.

This night, I slept for four hours, until Lao Zuo's shout exploded over the mountain bag: "Get up, hurry!" ”

I climbed out of the tent and saw that the fire on the mountain bag was still rising, and Lao Zuo stood on the edge of the mountain bag, looking hard at the forest, and the green steel sword in his hand was already out of the sheath.

"What's the situation?" I asked Lao Zuo.

The old left head didn't look back and said, "Just now, the thin monkey they released a signal flare and fired a shot at the hill over there." ”

As he spoke, Lao Zuo raised his hand and pointed to a mountain in front of him.

I hurriedly rushed to his side, first glanced at the dark whistle, and saw that Huang Yuzhong and Liu Shangang were all right, so I breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the mountain where he was fingering.

The hill was at least a thousand meters away from us, and the forest was dense, so we didn't know what was there, but because it was very quiet at night, we could still faintly hear the sound of a large area of grass and trees being trampled on the top of the mountain, as if a large group of living creatures were swooping down the top of the mountain.

Li Huaishan and Liang Houzai also came up one after the other, Liang Houzai asked us what the situation was, and Li Huaishan took out a monocular high-powered telescope from his backpack, he was the guide, this was his standing equipment.

"It's a pack of wolves!" Li Huaishan put his eyes on the barrel of the mirror and shouted anxiously.

Lao Zuo and I reached out to Li Huaishan's telescope almost at the same time, Lao Zuo seemed to think of something, his hand paused in mid-air, I didn't pause, and directly took the telescope.

I put the telescope on my eye, and the line of sight of my right eye was stretched far away by the lens tube, and I could see clearly that there was a large group of black wolves moving rapidly on the hill in the distance, and in the gaps in the trees, I could not only see their bodies, but also occasionally see the faint green light reflected from their eyes.

It is said that the wild wolves in Daliang Mountain are nothing more than two kinds of Arabian wolves and Asian wolves, which are relatively small in size and the longest body length is no more than one meter. But I visually inspected it, and all the wolves that rushed down from the mountain were more than two meters long, larger than the largest arctic wolf in the wolf class, and the largest one was even about three meters long, and the whole figure was more solid, and it was estimated that it was the wolf king.

I handed the telescope to Lao Zuo, who looked at it and said solemnly, "Are you coming for us?" ”

"Nine times out of ten." Li Huaishan answered, then turned around and took out a few sticks of firewood from the bonfire, and divided one for each of us.

The speed of the wolves was very fast, and after a few breaths, it was in the range of night vision of the ghost eye, because the moonlight was relatively bright, and I could see not only the appearance of the wolves, but also the color of their fur.

All wolves, without exception, are black X hairs with steel nails all over their bodies, and at first glance they look like a large group of black zombies leaning down on the ground and galloping.

The size of the wolf pack is very large, just a rough count, the number of black wolves is seventy or eighty, the head of the giant wolf looks thick and hard, like a large steel tong on a machine, it may be blind in one eye, it has been closed, but the ghost light that bursts out of the other eye is brighter than the other black wolves.

It was no longer a reflection under the moon, it seemed that in the depths of its pupils, there was originally a glowing fluorite embedded in it.

In addition to these wolves, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be a slender and long figure behind the wolves, at first I was wondering, is the hammer mixed into the wolf pile, take a closer look at it, the small black shadow is too long, it looks like a black skin and black hair weasel, but it may also be a wolf cub.

I was about to see it a little more clearly, when the shadow suddenly disappeared, as if it had gone underground.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

At this moment, Liu Shangang, who was shrunk in the treetops, fired three shots in a row.

The first shot hit the stones on the mountainside, and for a time the stone chips flew sideways, and the sound of the stones bursting lingered over the mountain forest, which lasted for a long time.

But this noise did not stop the wolves.

Liu Shangang could only change his strategy and shoot a black wolf, and saw that the wolf's body sank and slid straight down the hillside for a long distance, but the companions behind it didn't care about its life or death at all, and in an instant, four or five black wolves stepped on it, and the wolves still showed no signs of stopping.

The last bullet landed at the wolf king's feet, and the shot should have been aimed at the wolf king's head, but the giant wolf seemed to have foreseen the danger, so he shook his body violently, jumped out more than a meter horizontally, and avoided this shot.

If it were an ordinary wolf pack, we should have no trouble dealing with it, but in the face of such a foreign object, the odds are not so high.

Lao Zuo threw the torch in his hand and sighed: "These things should not be afraid of fire, we can only kill hard." ”

I couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be soft-hearted when you can do it." ”

The old left pouted and didn't speak.

At the very moment when the two of us broke these words, the wolves had already begun to rush down the mountain bag towards the camp.
