Chapter 26: The Mist

In the white mist, everyone heard an extremely heavy and slow footsteps.

"Bang" - "Bang" - "Bang"

Every time the thing took a step closer, everyone only felt their hearts tremble with its footsteps, and an inexplicable and deep sense of fear and trembling rose from the soles of their feet and rushed to the top of their heads. The sound stopped ten meters away from them, and there was no movement at all.

Despite this, the crisis has not been resolved.

Betsy felt as if her chest was about to explode, her temples were pounding, her hands and feet were stiff like ice, and she couldn't even breathe at the moment, and she wanted to scream in discomfort. But she was still lying in the grass, not daring to look around. Everyone only felt invisible, as if a pair of hands were pressing their heads, pressing them so that they couldn't even lift their heads.

There was a disgusting smell in the air, and Dai Shikai couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose - the smell was disgusting. It was as if a huge cemetery had been excavated, and from every damp and dark piece of grave there was a suffocating stench of decay.

Li Chenyin covered her mouth with trembling hands, Shan Hongwei couldn't help but glance at her worriedly, and couldn't hold it anymore. However, Li Chenyin stretched out his hand, grabbed his arm, and shook his head desperately, signaling the other party not to be impulsive.

The group lay on their stomachs in the grass for an unknown amount of time, until the sound of footsteps sounded again, and they left farther away, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a good place to stay for long, let's get out of here." Shimizu said.

Judging from the footsteps, the monster was much larger than the ghouls in the town, and Li Zeyan estimated that its height and weight should be about the same as that of an adult giant elephant. Everyone couldn't help but gasp, if they really met, I'm afraid Shan Hongwei and Li Zeyan would not be the opponents of that monster.

"Ghouls, flying hydras, and this mysterious monster...... Damn, what are the other surprises on this island that I don't know? At this moment, Dai Shikai's mentality has collapsed a little. Not only him, but Liu Ke's face on the side was also ugly than crying.

"There are monsters in the woods." Yang Yuenan palpitated: "Fortunately, the fog here is thick enough to allow us to detect and hide when danger comes." ”

"Well, this monster is huge, and every movement will make a lot of noise, as long as we don't hide every time, there shouldn't be any danger." Xu Zhen agreed.

"That being said, what if we can't see them, but they can see us in the dark or around?" Chen Zhi pushed his glasses: "I suggest finding a place like a cave to hide first, and when it gets dark, the firelight will reveal everyone's traces." ”

He was right, if it was dark, the people would not be able to move on. Just now, they had wasted a lot of time trying to avoid that mysterious monster. Lu Qing made a rough estimate, and it should be around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Despite knowing that there was danger in the woods, no one in the team at this time had any intention of going down the mountain. This made Lu Qing quite pleased, and it turned out that the one who could make the decision to follow him up the mountain was indeed the best in each region.

In the following time, everyone acted more carefully. They avoided the source of the smell and tried to move towards a place with fresh air. Under the leadership of Li Zeyan and Shan Hongwei, two experienced soldiers, they really found a small cave near a rocky protrusion.

The area of the cave is not large, and the end can be seen at a glance, but even so, it is enough to accommodate more than a dozen of them. Lu Qing and the others found stones nearby and piled them up at the entrance of the cave, and used leaves to plug the rest of the gaps to block the cold wind at night.

They did not dare to make a fire, for fear that the light of the fire and the smell of smoke would attract the monsters hidden in the night. The only source of light was a small flashlight, and at the moment they were eating two cans in the faint light, and there was no movement except for the occasional chewing sound. They were so tired that they had been in the mountains for so long and had trekked for seven or eight hours, and all they could eat was a pitiful half piece of luncheon meat, except for a sip of water.

Lu Qing leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The type of mission this time was not something he was familiar with, which made Lu Qing feel very uncomfortable. The only one in the team who knows about this is Dai Shikai, but Akai also said that he is only a little superficial, and his knowledge reserves are far less than those of Li Chenyin and Liu Ke.

Fortunately, there is Liu Ke here.

Lu Qing didn't believe in Li Chenyin very much, this woman was thoughtful and scheming, and now she was with Shan Hongwei, and she was not sure when she would use her knowledge to mislead others to a dead end.

There was a small movement around him, and at this moment, Lu Qing opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him alertly, and instinctively made a defensive move. After seeing the man's familiar face, he smiled kindly.

"Qing, are you doing it again?"

Betsy looked at him worriedly: "Your face is very bad. ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Lu Qing didn't tell the truth. For more than a month, he has been dreaming intermittently and nightmares. But when he woke up, he didn't remember what had happened in his dream.

He only vaguely felt where he was going and what he heard......

But if you think about it carefully, you will feel a sharp pain in your head, as if something is desperately trying to prevent you from remembering. Lu Qing knew that that dream must be terrifying, evil, and full of danger.

Sometimes, he was glad he couldn't remember the things in the dream, and Akai had warned himself many times not to be curious about them and not to try to understand them. Because the more you know, the closer you get to death.

Therefore, Lu Qing did not tell anyone about this strange status quo that appeared on his own, including Akai.

"Here's for you." Betsy sat beside him, carefully fumbled something out of her pocket, and quietly slipped it into his pocket. Lu Qing was a little surprised, he raised his head to look at the other party, but Betsy just smiled sweetly at him, said goodnight, and returned to his original position and continued to lie down.

Lu Qing touched his pocket and found that what the other party stuffed to him just now turned out to be a piece of luncheon meat wrapped in a paper towel and a crumpled candy.

Outside the cave, the fog in the forest grew thicker. The mountains were high and densely forested, and a cold wind blew, and the rolling fog was like a huge wave in the sea, and the waves rolled over, revealing a dense woodland. The vines of the big trees in the primeval forest are intertwined with each other, like tentacles in the depths of the seabed, and also very much like the dark green seabed, swaying and swaying with the wind.

[31] At this moment, a thick "vine" suddenly and quickly extended out from the trunk, "and where the "vine" slashed, it left a pool of green and fishy slime.

The night is boundless. Terror is creeping in......
