γFlag .γ, popular free reading!
Several of us were all looking ahead intently, and we didn't dare to blink our eyes, and suddenly the second uncle turned on the flashlight and shone it over.
The second uncle's flashlight is more professional than the one in our hands, the real tactical strong light flashlight, the strongest light that can be emitted is nearly two thousand lumens, I don't know where the second uncle bought this good thing.
The flashlight in the second uncle's hand shot straight into the layers of fog like a sharp sword, shining on the vague shadow in front of him. However, because the fog was too thick, the light was scattered very badly, but fortunately, the second uncle's flashlight was strong enough, and there was still a part of the light on the upper part of the thing.
Now we finally see the outline of it, and it's still not so clear, but at least I can tell that it's not a single person!
Probably stimulated by the light, the thing suddenly moved, and just as we were concentrating on this opportunity to identify what it was, a terrifying scene happened.
The head of the thing suddenly turned, and it was a rotation of nearly 180 degrees, and then a large white face was revealed, two dark sunken eye sockets, and a long nose bridge, and at first we couldn't find out where its mouth was, until this thing opened its mouth and screamed, and I saw that its mouth was almost up to its chin, and at the same time it showed two fangs.
When we saw this scene, we were stunned and froze in place. But in the end, the second uncle reacted first and shouted at Lantern Xiao, "What are you doing in a daze, shoot!" β
Lantern Xiao came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly responded, and fired two shots in front of him, but it was still a step too late, and the thing jumped and disappeared into the fog in a blink of an eye, and the second uncle's flashlight could no longer catch up. But from the moment it jumped, I could see that it seemed to have a pair of large wings.
Even though it had disappeared into the fog, I could still tell from the sound that it wasn't far away. Now I know that this guy will fly, and it is hovering over our heads, and every now and then it will touch some branches and make a "click" sound.
Lantern Xiao raised her gun and fired several shots after the voice. Just as Lantern Xiao was about to shoot again, Wen Mo suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't fight, that thing is not dangerous."
"Not dangerous?" Lantern Xiao looked at Wen Mo strangely, "Boss, is it possible that you know this thing?" β
Wen Mo nodded, "This thing is called the Ghost-faced Owl, and it is a bird with the attributes of a grass owl. β
"Doesn't this thing bite?" Lantern Xiao still asked uneasily, "Look at the two fangs in its mouth." How can you lose two taels of meat in one bite! β
Wen Mo shook his head, but he didn't explain too much, just said lightly: "No, it doesn't bite." It came here mostly out of curiosity. β
Lantern Xiao nodded and put the gun down, "It turned out that he came to visit, since you said so, then let him go." β
Hearing Wen Mo say this, our hearts gradually relaxed, and I said to Anado: "Sister, you are more familiar with the 100,000 mountains, have you ever seen this kind of ghost-faced owl before?" β
Anado shook her head slightly, "It's really the first time I've seen this kind of bird!" It's scary. β
The ghost-faced owl was really curious, and it kept hovering up and down around us for a while, and finally landed on a branch not too far from us, watching us. This time the branches were low, and we also got a glimpse of the owl, with its slender body and wide shoulders due to its large wings. Because of this, I feel that its blurry back is a bit like a person. In addition, its tail is very long, and if the ghost-faced owl falls on the ground and the tail rests on the ground, it looks like two legs curled up. Coupled with the pale coat color on its face, it's no wonder it really scared us just now!
But after knowing its specific identity, we are not afraid. On the contrary, I think this guy is quite interesting.
Lantern Xiao shushed the ghost-faced owl twice, and the ghost-faced owl also barked his teeth at Lantern Festival twice. Lantern Xiao smiled, "It's a very smart bird, but it's ugly." β
The second uncle snorted coldly, "What's ugly, what's beautiful, as long as you're kind-hearted and don't hurt people!" β
Second Uncle's words made me a little baffled, and Lantern Xiao was also full of confusion, "Second Uncle, what I said is wrong again?" Why are you scolding me all the time? β
The second uncle smiled and patted Lantern Xiao's shoulder, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else!" "After a little thought, I understood what the second uncle meant, he was probably still suspecting that there was a mole in our team.
Lantern Xiao waved his hand at us, "Okay, since it's a false alarm, let's not delay, it's not too early, if we delay it any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a way out before dark." β
Lantern Xiao waved his hand at the ghost-faced owl on the tree, "Bye big ugly bird!" β
The ghost-faced owl seemed to understand Lantern Xiao's words, and let out two strange cries of "woo" in protest.
A few of us continued to walk through the foggy jungle, and Lantern Xiao began to complain again as she walked, "How do I think that almost every time we move, we will encounter ghost weather like fog!" This is really evil! β
"No," I said, "we didn't encounter this kind of ghost weather when we were in the Gurbantunggut Desert. β
Lantern Xiao smiled, "Nonsense, if there is such a fog in the desert, it will be hell!" β
"It's normal to see ghosts," I continued, "I remember that Zhao Shi of the Han Dynasty wrote a book called Wanyuan Pingzha in his later years, which said, 'Yin and yang are separated, and the realm of the Xuan and the underworld is hidden in the fog. "Isn't it mysterious enough that we've acquired the place these few times, so it's not strange to see the fog at all. β
Lantern Xiao shook her head helplessly, "You can really do it, you can discuss this kind of thing, and you can also quote scriptures." β
As I walked forward, I turned my head to Lantern Xiao and said, "You are a ...... to read" I said halfway and suddenly bumped into a person in front of me, I quickly took a look, it turned out to be the second uncle.
"Second uncle, I'm sorry, why did your old man brake suddenly!" I thought that the second uncle would say two words about me, but I didn't expect him to even look at me, and he didn't even say a word of reproach. I looked at the second uncle with some curiosity and found that he was looking straight ahead. I followed his gaze and froze in place.
I saw that in the mist of the woods in front of me, there was a huge shadow, and there was more than one, and these huge shadows were next to each other in twos and threes, and I don't know how many were deeper in the woods.
