Chapter Twenty-Four: The Peep in the Dark

In the early afternoon, the employer, Mr. Falcon Frye, appeared at the West Gate on a tall horse, and behind him was a carriage with pink curtains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 In the carriage sat Mr. Hayabusa's daughter, followed by more than twenty servants, pushing four carts full of boxes.

Looking at the long line, Mo Mingke felt very strange, according to the previous agreement, the target of the escort should not be so many people, so he asked: "Mr. Falcon, didn't you say that you would only escort you and your daughter to Yunzi City? Why are there so many more people now?"

Mr. Hayabusa Frye looked red-faced, and seemed to be in a very good mood, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you just need to protect me and my daughter!

"This ......"

Yamu leaned close to Mo Mingke's ear and whispered, "Look at Lord Demon King, these despicable humans!"

Rozan asked in a deep voice, "What about the cars?"

Mr. Falcon Fry said, "Of course the car is in charge! It is filled with my precious daughter's dowry!"

Luo Zan said to Mo Mingke: "I'll go to the front, and you guys will go to the back of the line." ā€

Mo Mingke responded quietly: "Look, a few of our oil bottles are still a little useful!"

The team set out on the road leisurely. After moving away from the city, the green mountains meander endlessly, like a long scroll, slowly stretching out. Every scene on the road that catches your eye is full of ink and blue, and there is a shock that shoots directly into the heart.

Along the way, Rozan and Lao Shu set traps to hunt animals, or pick wild fruits in the mountains for food, and the roasted rabbit meat and badger meat do not add any flavor and seasoning, showing the perfect taste of the original flavor, and even the wild fruits are crisp and juicy, so that people can't stop eating at all.

Mr. Falcon, who has always been accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, refuses to eat with everyone, but only eats the cured jerky he has brought, and his daughter Miss Luna is approachable, without the slightest hint of a rich lady, but when she eats meat, she seems as shy and reserved as Paparis. These two girls of similar age complement each other, forming a magnificent landscape.

The people traveled uneventful, and after a week of marching, they came to a mountain stream. This mountain stream splits the mountain into two sections, and the water is rushing and washing away the soft stones that lie still in the stream. Luo Zan took out the map and said to Mo Mingke and the others: "About thirty miles further on, it is Panlong Ridge. ā€

Mo Mingke looked at the map carefully and found that this Panlongling was in the shape of a "several", like a dragon. Because of the steepness of the mountain, it was impossible to get around from the side, so I had to walk through the ridge.

Rozan said, "It's getting late, so we'll spend the night here and wait until tomorrow morning before we hit the road." ā€

Mo Mingke nodded, remembering that Gabu had said that there were perverted maniacs in Panlong Ridge who ate the hearts and livers of passers-by, and he didn't know if it was true or not, so he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, but he had to hold it in his heart for the sake of face.

That night, Mo Mingke tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, just as a gust of mountain wind whistled by, and his voice was like a resentful soul crying, and he had goosebumps all over his body. Mo Mingke sat up suddenly, smelling a sweet smell in the air, and saw Yam sitting cross-legged next to the bonfire, so he felt a little calmer.

As he got closer, he noticed that Yamm was bobbing his head and fishing, and snoring as loudly as thunder.

"Hey, hey, wake up!" Pulling Yam's ears, the latter woke up with sleepy eyes, his eyelids piled up into three eyelids.

They originally agreed to take turns to keep vigil (except for Paparis, who is a girl), but Yam fell asleep, and Mo Mingke said: "You little ruffian is sleeping very soundly, what if a pervert takes the opportunity to steal our hearts and livers?"

Yamm replied vaguely, "What's the crazy thing about the bag, it's just that the juice chicken is scared of the juice chicken...... No, it's a mess...... I'm going to break ......."

After that, Yamm fell asleep, and no matter how Mo Mingke tossed, there was no response. Since Rozan was the first post to stand, it was not good to wake him up again, so he had to go to the old tree, but the old tree also slept soundly, and called the old man for a long time before he slowly woke up.

"It's strange, why is it that even the old tree sleeps so dead?" Mo Mingke secretly wondered: Lao Shu has always been stoic and vigilant, but why is there no alertness in the past tonight?

Just when they were suspicious, more than a dozen pairs of eyes suddenly appeared in the jungle and peeked at them, these eyes kept moving and changing in the darkness, gradually approaching everyone in an encirclement situation.

The old tree that woke up was the first to notice this group of peeps in the dark, and hurriedly stood up, clenching his fists to meet the enemy. Mo Mingke followed the old tree's gaze towards the jungle, but he couldn't see anything. But seeing that Lao Shu looked like he was waiting for battle, Mo Mingke hurriedly called out to everyone: "There is an enemy! Everyone get up quickly!" After calling a few times, there was no response, and everyone slept like dead pigs.

At this time, a peep peeked out of the shadows, and saw that he was naked, with sparse body hair, his skin covered with ugly folds and poisonous sores, and his face was twisted and hideous, as if it was humanoid but not humanoid.

More and more "people" appeared in the jungle, some of these people were tall and some were thin, and their appearances were different, and Mo Mingke was shocked.

"Wake them up!" Mo Mingke roared, running straight towards Luo Zan, who had the strongest combat power, followed by Lao Shu.

This group of strange-looking "people" suddenly let out a sharp roar and attacked Mo Mingke and the others.

Fortunately, the sleeping people were relatively close to each other, Mo Mingke rushed to Luo Zan's side and slapped him hard, Luo Zan screamed and woke up suddenly, Mo Mingke shouted to Luo Zan: "Someone sneak attacked!"

In a panic, Rozan grabbed the big axe placed beside him and smashed it at a strange man who happened to rush in front of him, splitting it in half from the middle, and the stinky blood splashed like a spring, only to see one of the tall strange people let out a long roar, and the rest of the strange people immediately fled like a monkey, and disappeared in a snap of his fingers.

A frightened Mo Mingke asked, "What the hell are these? They don't look like humans, do they?"

Rozan walked over to the corpse he had split in half, flipped over for a moment, and said, "They're ogres. It's possible that this guy I hacked to death happens to be their leader, or they wouldn't have retreated suddenly. ā€

Mo Mingke exclaimed, "What Gabu said about the heart-eating pervert is true?"

Rozan said, "They eat anything that is alive." ā€
