"Brother Qing, where are you?!" Dai Shikai was knocked to the ground by the impact just now, and when he got up, he found that except for the backpacks scattered around him, Lu Qing and the others were nowhere to be found.

Before he could utter a second call, the tentacles wrapped in green slime, whose skin looked like twigs, but shaped like mollusks, swept in his direction. Dai Shikai held the ground with one hand and did a beautiful backflip to dodge the tentacle attack. There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, and Dai Shikai turned around and unexpectedly saw Betsy and Xu Zhen.

"Did you see Brother Qing?" Dai Shikai asked.

Xu Zhen shook his head: "It's all scattered, he seems to be with Li Zeyan." ”

Hearing what the other party said, Dai Shikai hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the black goat cubs are high-level creatures, and their lethality is extremely high, and staying here for a long time will also have a bad impact on us." ”

Needless to say, Xu Zhen and Betsy also understand the danger of this monster. Although it is impossible to see the surrounding situation and the full picture of the monster through the thick fog, it is on a certain level. This is also a kind of protection for them by space. If ordinary people look directly at those mythical ancient creatures, they will go crazy and insane like Zhou Qiong, and if they are serious, they will directly lead to death.

"Follow me ahead, remember, stay away from the trees." Dai Shikai rushed to the front with his bag on his back, knowing full well that the body of this creature was a huge mass, and black whip-like tentacles were born on the mass. There was also a huge mouth around the clump, from which green mucus was dripping. Underneath its body, there are also huge hooves that it can stand on, and because it resembles a sheep's hoof, it is called the "black goat cub".

But actually, in terms of appearance, the monster is closer to the trees. It can perfectly camouflage itself in the deep forest, waiting for its prey to come to its door.

Black goat cubs are a rare monster in the Cthulhu mythos, and now they can be encountered in the mountains. Dai Shikai's heart suddenly swelled with an extremely uneasy feeling, if there was such a monster, then everyone would not even have a little hope of survival.

Fortunately, the three of them ran all the way and encountered no other obstacles. I don't know how long he ran, until Dai Shikai felt that the suppressed suffocating pain in his heart had disappeared, he stopped.

"you X." He jerked his backpack off and slammed it into an old mossy tree in front of him. Although Liu Ke has only known him for a short time, Dai Shikai can see that he is a simple-minded person.

This stupid boy likes to follow behind him and Lu Qing all day long, and he is very happy to call "brother". The desperate and frightened face before his death made Dai Shikai remember it vividly, and the "thank you" was as painful as tearing out his heart.

"Thank you, thank you, I didn't save you at all......" Dai Shikai slammed his fist on the tree, gasping for breath. Liu Ke's death is undoubtedly a huge loss for them.

Dai Shikai's understanding of the Cthulhu Mythos is not too deep, and in the entire team, only Liu Ke and Li Chenyin can easily identify the true body and weakness of the monster, but now, one of these two is dead and the other is missing, which is not a good thing for the rest of the people.

"I'm worried about Brother Qing. Although he is with Li Zeyan now, if he encounters other dangers and no people who understand are around, I am afraid that they will ......" Dai Shikai smashed another punch on the tree, completely unaware that the back of his hand had been scratched.

"Don't worry, Lu Qing will definitely take care of himself. All I can do now is find a way to join the others. Xu Zhen persuaded: "Everyone's destination is the top of the mountain, and only by continuing to move forward can we have the opportunity to meet them." ”

Betsy's mood was low, Yang Yuenan's death made her blame herself very much, and now Lu Qing was nowhere to be found, at this time she was full of anxiety in her heart, and she remained silent all the way. Xu Zhen saw that these two people were a little out of state, and while he was worried, he didn't know what to say to comfort them.

Although what he said just now is very simple, it is not so easy to go up the mountain[31]. Without Li Zeyan's leadership, the few of them couldn't distinguish the direction of the surrounding terrain at all, and in the dense foggy forest, the visibility itself was already very low. To make matters worse, it seemed to be getting dark.

Lu Qing and Li Zeyan bypassed Lin Hai, where the black goat cubs appeared just now, and searched nearby for a long time. However, they found nothing but a dagger. This dagger was carried by Chen Shuo, and when Lu Qing picked it up, the shiny knife that had always been wiped was covered with green viscous liquid, several trees around it were also cut off, and the weeds on the soil were also crooked to the ground, it was obvious that there had been a fierce fight here.

"People seem to be fine." Li Zeyan bent down and checked the traces on the ground. The drag marks and the evenness of the deep dive were enough to prove that the tentacle had not swept away the prey it was trying to catch.

He rubbed a piece of damp, blackened dirt under his feet, brought it under the tip of his nose and sniffed, "But he's hurt." ”

The two soon found sparse traces of blood and footprints of different shades, which should have been left by Chen Shuo. Not only that, but when the bloodstain extends somewhere, it disappears completely. Soon, Lu Qing found new footprints.

Judging by the traces, this should belong to another male.

According to his judgment, Chen Shuo should have been attacked in the process of escaping, but he single-handedly escaped from the pursuit of the monster and fled all the way here, where he met others. After the man had treated his wounds briefly, the two of them helped each other out of the forest.

And the person who was with Chen Shuo was very delicate, leaving a lot of marks along the way, and with the guidance of these marks, Lu Qing and Li Zeyan soon found their hiding place.

This is a small raised hillside, and a natural depression cave has formed at the bottom of the slope, and there are tree trunks horizontally, the trees are covered with moss, and there are many leaves and wild grasses hidden outside the cave, which is quite hidden as a hiding place.

Half of Chen Shuo's shoulder was bandaged with clean gauze, and although he could still faintly see blood oozing out, most of the wounds had been stopped. Qing Shui helped him up and leaned on himself, and when Lu Qing and the others found them, he was feeding Chen Shuo water to drink.

"Great, you're all right." Qing Shui was overjoyed, seeing that there was no one else after them, his brows frowned: "Are they all scattered?" ”

"yes." Lu Qing walked into the cave, and he was currently very concerned about Chen Shuo's state.

"Don't worry, a little injury." Chen Shuo barely straightened up and smiled: "It's just that the suction cup on that tentacle pierced the skin, and some blood was drawn, so it won't get in the way." ”
