Chapter 15: A Wacky Town
"Brother Xia, why are you alone?" After a few people slowly got acquainted, Tang Yi became bold and asked curiously.
"I just sent a friend to the bomb shelter, and I didn't know where to go for a while, but I heard that there was a settlement to the east, so I wanted to go and see it." Xia Li said lightly while teasing the little guy.
"At first glance, Brother Xia is not an ordinary person, and he dares to come to this wilderness alone." Don't look at the big soldier, but he is not stupid, and he will be sent up with a sycophant.
The three of them saw Xia Li suddenly stop, and asked a little strangely, "Eh, Brother Xia Li, there is a forest over there, what's there to see?" ”
"You wait for me here, and help me take care of the little one by the way." After Xia Li finished speaking, he handed the little wolf to Tang Yi.
I walked with my sword like the forest over there. "It's really strange, could it be that Brother Xia found something?" Tang Yi looked at Xia Li's back strangely.
"I don't know, anyway, Brother Xia is better than us, he must have discovered something." Zhang Chi said blindly.
Xia Li cautiously came to the outside of the Death Forest that made him feel a huge threat last time, and after listening to Han Lei talk about the horror of the Death Forest, he didn't dare to go inside.
I just want to see for myself if it's as evil as Han Lei said. Without saying a word, he took out a titanium alloy long knife and slashed at the outermost arm-thick tree trunk, and the trunk was instantly stabbed in two.
This was nothing, but the blood flowed from the fracture. At this time, the whole forest seemed to come alive, and the roots of the trees in the ground were quickly pulled out of the soil one by one, like stabbing in the direction where Xia Li was.
Xia Li had already been prepared, turned his head and ran, and countless tree roots were unable to chase after Xia Li ran a distance, and slowly shrank back.
The smiles on the faces of the three people who were still joking in the distance froze suddenly, and they kept glad that they didn't go in yesterday.
When Xia Li ran back quickly, they were still stunned and motionless.
"Alright, give me the little wolf!" Xia Li said with a smile.
Tang Yi handed the little wolf in his arms to Xia Li, but the little wolf's little paws grabbed Tang Yi's clothes desperately and didn't let go.
"Boy, hurry up and let go of your paws, you're still addicted." Xia Li gently patted the little wolf's wolf head and said.
At this time, the three of them slowly came back to their senses and stammered, "That, Brother Xia, what happened just now?" ”
"This forest is very strange, and all the animals and people who enter it have been sucked dry of flesh and become their nutrients."
"Alive, alive?" Zhang Chi stammered a little.
"Well, I just cut down a small tree, what did you see?" Xia Li pointed to the broken part of the small tree and said.
"Red, red blood." Zhang Chi called for the first time, and his whole body felt chills.
The other two also tightened their clothes so that they felt warmer.
If possible, when you go back, tell the others that it is best not to go in and not to go near the forest.
"Well, we'll definitely tell the Adventurers' Guild, it's part of our mission after all." All three of them knew that this was not a trivial matter.
"I'll rely on you for the rest of the journey." Xia Li said with a smile.
"That's absolutely fine, let's go back the way we came, there's a small town not far away, the townspeople are basically gone, we can spend the night there." The GI patted his chest and said.
The four of them then left the concrete road and walked on a gravel path. The path is lined with weeds, and you can hear the sounds of animals from time to time.
The three of them are now very sensitive to the woods, and as long as they pass by the edge of the woods, they will test whether they are ordinary trees.
Xia Li didn't stop it, he didn't know if it was only the forest there that had mutated, they paid attention to a little bit of only good and no harm.
When they came to the end, it gradually opened up, and a dilapidated town appeared in front of several people.
"Brother Xia, this is this town, we stayed here for one night when we came." Zhang Chi pointed to a small supermarket at the entrance of the town and said.
Xia Li looked at the lifeless town and said tentatively, "Do you find that today's town is any different from when you came yesterday?" ”
"Nope!" The soldier didn't know what Xia Li meant, so he scratched his head and said.
"When you asked, I remembered that there were many adventurers like us when we came yesterday, but why is it so quiet today." Tang Yi found a difference.
"Is there something wrong with the town?" Zhang Chi is now convinced of Xia Li.
"I don't know, I'm just asking." Xia Li shook his head, he just instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"So what do we do now?" Tang Yi said a little embarrassed.
"You guys are waiting at the door now, I'll go in and have a look alone!" Xia Liyi said boldly.
"Then, Brother Xia, be careful." The GI asked, a little worried.
Xia Li didn't say anything more, and walked in. As soon as he walked into the town, Xia Li felt that there was no living breath in the whole town. It feels like a house that has been uninhabited for a long time, lacking in life.
But how can they explain that yesterday there were many adventurers, but today they can't see anyone?
How it feels a little similar to that deep forest. Xia Li quickly looked at the entire street, and found nothing.
When the three of them saw Xia Li come back, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Xia, have you found anything?" Tang Yi asked first.
"No, I hope my feelings are wrong!" Xia Li looked at the town and was distracted.
"Then we can't get in?" Zhang Chi looked at Xia Li, waiting for him to speak.
"It's getting late, we can't just stay outside, it's going to be more dangerous, go to the supermarket you went to last time, and I'll keep vigil tonight." Xia Li said after thinking about it. "If something happens, I'll be able to deal with it more easily."
After the four of them walked into the town together, the little wolf, who was quiet just now, suddenly became agitated.
"It seems that there is really something wrong with this town" Xia Li knew that the beast was the most sensitive to danger, and since such a small guy felt it, then there must be a big problem in this town.
"So what do we do now?" The three of them looked at the restless little wolf and knew that something was wrong. He looked around nervously and said.
"Find a smaller room, you all sleep together, I'll keep vigil with Zhang Chi, his eyesight is better."
In the end, the four of them found a 30-square-meter hut with only one gate and walls on the other three sides.
I got a little bit to eat, and the four of them ate a little, the little wolf was too small to eat hard things, Xia Li went to the small supermarket to find a few bottles of milk and fed some to the little guy.
The little guy has been moving in Xia Li's arms uneasily, and his little nose is constantly sniffing.
After dark, Da Bing and Tang Yi were so scared that they couldn't sleep at all.
"If you can't sleep, don't sleep, if there's something, it will come back at night." Xia Li touched the knife in his hand and said lightly.
The lights were on all over the town, just their cottage. At about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, Da Bing, Tang Yi and Zhang Chi were all a little groggy.
I don't know if it's Xia Li's good physical fitness or something else, Xia Li has always been very energetic. Pay attention to every move around here.
At 2 o'clock, Xia Li finally heard the sound of someone walking, not one or two people, but many people, but they all seemed to be walking very slowly, as if they were afraid of being heard.
The little wolf in his arms became more and more uneasy. The sound of "da, da" is getting clearer and denser.
"Wake up," Xia Li shouted quietly.
The three people who were sleepwalking suddenly woke up, "Brother Xia, what is this sound?" The three of them also heard these voices.
"The sound of walking. Turn on your phone's searchlight and take a picture outside. Xia Li didn't know what was going on outside.
