The little boy hid behind the neck of the black hoe Thundertooth again, and Mizuki and Shigego glanced at each other, and although they didn't speak, the tacit understanding of eye contact was already there.

Do you want to listen to that little boy?

After a moment of reflection for two seconds, Shigego took the lead in closing his eyes.

Shigego's train of thought was simple, the little boy seemed so innocent, and there should be no reason to hurt them, so it didn't hurt to listen to him close his eyes.

In contrast, Shuiyue is more suspicious.

But Shigego has already closed his eyes, and Mizugetsu has also closed his eyes out of herd mentality.

As soon as their eyes were closed, the world was completely plunged into darkness, and sound became the main means by which the two of them perceived the outside world.

The murmur of the man in black...

The faint sound of the wind...

The sound of flapping wings...

Somehow, the sound of fluttering wings came from Mizutsuki and Jugo's ears.

This sound is exactly the same as the sound when they rode those strange birds just now, but with the vision turned off, the two of them can now hear this sound more realistically.

The sound of flapping wings slowly approached, until it suddenly disappeared at a very close position to the specific two, or landed,

Just ahead...

According to the last memory of his surroundings when he closed his eyes, Mizuki remembered that the place where the voice disappeared was the strange symbol that the previous flight section had depicted with the blood of the sacrifice.

Another strange bird is flying over?

Is there something new sitting on those strange birds?

Or is it just a strange bird?

Shui Yue's heart was full of questions, but because of the little boy's reminder just now, Shui Yue still held back her curiosity and closed her eyes.

The air seemed to be calm again, and the murmuring of eulogies suddenly stopped, and now only the sounds of nature were left on the entire cliff.

Is there a sound of footsteps?

Suizuki pricked up her ears and listened carefully to see if there were footsteps approaching her, and if there were, it might really be some new member of the religion coming down from the strange bird.

However, Mizuki did not hear any sounds that were characteristic of human footsteps.

Instead, Suzuki heard a strange sound.

This is the sound of something staggering on the sand, and if humans want to make sounds, they have to keep their feet on the ground and keep dragging the soles of their feet on the sand.

It's just that compared to the frictional sounds that humans can make, these sounds are more messy, disorderly, and indescribable...

What is it that makes such a sound?

Shui Yue couldn't figure it out, but the only thing that was certain was that this voice was gradually getting closer to him!

Born in the ghost lamp clan of Fog Hidden Village since he was a child, Ghost Lantern Shui Yue naturally learned the signature ninjutsu of Fog Hidden Village-Fog Hidden Technique, and the requirement of Fog Hidden Art is not only to be released, but also to be able to distinguish the enemy's position through sound in Fog Hidden Technique.

Hearing is one of the most important training sessions.

So at this moment, Mizuki's sense of hearing is very keen, much sharper than that of ordinary ninjas.

Under the careful listening and discrimination of Shui Yue, Shui Yue faintly felt that it was not a sound that could be made by a fixed plane rubbing the sand.

The sound of the sand grinding was intermittent, the frequency was slightly faster, and there were multiple subtle sounds of the sand rubbing at the same time, and it was hard to imagine what kind of walking style could produce such an eerie sound.

At this moment, Shui Yue really wanted to open her eyes and see what was walking, gradually getting closer to her.

This is that the more you know about something, the more bad it is.

Since Shigego next to him was not a ninja originally, his listening and analysis of voices were not as clear and in place as Mizuki's, but he wouldn't have any troubles like Mizuki.

The curiosity in Shui Yue's heart here is swelling dramatically, and every time that strange unknown voice gets closer to Shui Yue, the curiosity in Shui Yue's heart will increase a little.

What's that?

What's coming closer?

If I squint a little bit, it shouldn't be any danger, right?

As long as I open my eyes without being discovered, there should be no danger, right?

At first glance... It should be okay, right?

The defense line in Shui Yue's heart was slackening, and the eye lines on both sides of the tightly closed eyes gradually loosened.

Suddenly, the sound of the sand grinding stopped.

The abrupt sound did not stop in the distance, just in front of Shui Yue!

Shui Yue knew this clearly, and it was this sudden stop that made Shui Yue's gradually loosening eyelids stagnate.

Right in front of me...

That thing stopped right in front of me!

Through listening during this time, Suizuki has become very convinced that it is definitely not a human who makes this kind of footstep sound.

Or the judgment of the sound of footsteps is not very reasonable, this thing maybe, probably, may not have feet...

I want to open my eyes and take a look...

At this time, Mizuki wanted to know what kind of eyes the object standing in front of him was looking at him.

The sound stopped, but it didn't stop completely.

Less than a meter away in front, Shui Yue could still hear the sound of rubbing the sand.

It's just that the current sound is very subtle, and the sound doesn't move at all, similar to a human walking in place.

Is this thing standing still in front of me?

Mizuki didn't know.

Not only that, but at such a close distance, the hearing of the water moon should be able to hear the sound of breathing.

Whether it's a human, an animal, or anything else, there should be a sound of breathing.

Although the frequency of breath sounds is somewhat different, this should be there.

Unless some creature breathes with its gills or skin...

Or don't need to breathe?

It's just that Shui Yue couldn't hear any breathing sound from the object in front of him, he was as calm as the infinite galaxy in the sky, thick and solemn, silent.

What exactly?

The curiosity in Shui Yue's heart was already bursting, and at this moment, Shui Yue could no longer suppress the opening and closing of her eyelids, and decided to open her eyes to see what was standing in front of her.

I'll just take a look...

It shouldn't matter if you look down and take a look.

As long as you don't make eye contact with Him, there should be no problem.

Squint a little, and no one will see that I'm looking.

A series of words came out of Suizuki's brain to comfort herself and rationalize her next actions.

At the same time, Suizuki slowly lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

Okay, the angle should be right, so you can't match the eye.

And then I'm quietly squinting my eyes...

Mizuki's eyelids trembled slightly, this was Mizuki trying her best to adjust the gap in her eyes so that her eyes did not open to such an obvious extent.

A ray of light shines through the slit in the eye onto Suigetsu's retina.

Even though it was dark now, Suzuki had his eyes closed for a long time, and the light was still a little dazzling to Suzuki.

After two seconds, the light fades and the vision goes from blurry to clear.
