Chapter 9: The Journey Down the Mountain
The fog slowly dissipated in the morning light, turning into crystal dew on the leaves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A teenager and a small black beast scurry through the woods.
The running for most of the night did not make Luo Fifteen feel very tired, on the contrary, he felt that his strength had increased again.
It seems that the green fruit sent by the little beast is by no means an ordinary mountain fruit.
Luo Fifteen didn't encounter extremely ferocious monsters along the way. I'm afraid that there is such a monster entrenched in the place, and it is also bypassed by the clever little beast, but the strange insects and birds encountered in the middle make him feel frightened.
"Guoguo, how long do you have to walk? It's almost dawn, and it's still halfway up the mountain, right?" Luo Fifteen complained.
The name Guoguo was specially given to the little beast in order to commemorate the few life-saving green fruits, and the little beast protested, and finally after being threatened by Luo Fifteen not to find a wife, he had no choice but to give in.
It is no wonder that Luo Fifteen complained that the mountain road was not only rugged, but also that when he walked to the back, the path that looked winding and long became even more unclear, and became staggered, with strange vines and grasses. Even the extremely distant mountains that were vaguely visible before were no longer visible, as if they had fallen into the belly of a terrifying giant beast, and there was no sense of direction.
The little beast stopped at this time, turned around and jumped around, his eyes emitted a slight blue glow, and he looked at Luo Fifteen slyly, and kept blinking, chirping a few times, looking inexplicably excited, and it was ridiculous that there were still a few weeds hanging on the tip of his nose, and he didn't care.
Luo Fifteen almost laughed when he looked at it. The resentment in my heart was also quietly swept away.
So he stopped and carefully looked at the nearby terrain again, this should be the location of a mountainside, a few kilometers around are vines intertwined, the mountain is obviously slowing down here, the distant gaze turns over the mountain rocks, and it can be vaguely seen that there seems to be a large forest in the distance, compared to here, the forest looks majestic, like a cold giant, giving people an eerie sense of oppression.
Do you want to pass through that forest?
Luo Fifteen is young after all, and he has a little drum in his heart. However, seeing that the little beast was about to disappear in that direction, he had to grit his teeth and chase after him.
He had just taken a few steps when suddenly he stopped abruptly.
Not far to the right of his direction, a pile of burnt ash came into view, and next to the ash were a few rocks the size of square bricks and some broken dead branches.
"Somebody's been here!"
After looking at these obviously man-made traces, Luo Fifteen made a judgment in surprise.
What are these people doing here? How did they get here?
Luo Fifteen couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
He remembered that he had been pursued by the Hess herd, had escaped by climbing a cliff, and had a hard time getting here overnight.
Could it be that they were also hunted by Hessmon?
Thinking of this, Luo Fifteen felt a feeling of sympathy in his heart, but he was instantly defeated by his own reason.
I think that the Heth Beast is just a young trial target like them who doesn't even have the title of tribal warrior, but it is actually a very weak beast. And the few people who appeared here are likely to be adults, and a few adult warriors are not afraid of the Hess herd, even if they can't beat it, they can escape calmly.
"Woo~~Woo"
The little beast's hiss interrupted the boy's thoughts, and it turned out that Guoguo had gone and returned, staring at him non-stop.
"Ahem!"
Luo fifteen scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Squatted down and touched Guoguo's little head, but did not tell it about the discovery.
"Let's go, Guoguo!" the thought of going to the Singa tribe to meet the two brothers as soon as possible immediately came back to his heart.
So the man and the beast continued to walk in the direction of the forest.
......
"Oops!"
Another triangular beaked monster worm suddenly burst out from the crack in the stone under his feet, startling Luo Fifteen, he hurriedly jumped away from the side, but unexpectedly, the soft place where he landed was actually a loach nest covered with withered grass camouflage, which was more than a foot deep, and suddenly his foothold was unstable, and he slipped and fell into the muddy nest, making his face gray and startled a nest of loaches to flee in all directions!
And the strange insect was also taken aback, and did not choose to attack, but also escaped without a trace.
Guoguo was also so shocked that he suddenly looked back, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly used his tail as a bench, sat there and covered his stomach and laughed.
Seeing Luo Fifteen jumping up and rushing towards it with a black face, it flicked its tail, jumped up and fled.
Luo Fifteen wiped the soil on his face with his sleeve, turned his head and spat a few times fiercely, secretly calling out bad luck, it seems that the further he goes, the denser these strange insects and beasts become.
At this time, he was embarrassed, not only were his clothes scratched a lot by thorns and vines along the way, but his skin was scarred, intertwined horizontally and vertically. Now it's like a mud monkey again, and it looks really miserable.
Fortunately, there were broad-leaved plants on this mountain road, and the mist accumulated on it was enough for Luo Fifteen to simply clean the soil on his body.
After washing his face, calming down, and walking for a while, Luo Fifteen realized that they had finally really approached the gloomy forest that made his heart restless. Looking at it from such a distance, the young man's eyes froze suddenly.
This is a tall and strange forest, and in the forest, it is pitch black!
In such a cloudless and rainless day, at such a close distance, the forest is still extremely dark, and the line of sight cannot penetrate the edge of the forest at all, as if there is a dark barrier there, and once the light is introduced, it is swallowed up by the darkness.
An inexplicable fear rose in Luo Fifteen's heart, what kind of forest is this, and what kind of terrifying existence is there? The nearby insects and beasts also seemed to have suddenly disappeared collectively......
Insects and beasts disappear and fruit fruit disappears?!
As soon as he thought of this, he quickly looked up, only to find that the figure of the little beast fruit had already rushed to the dark barrier of the forest, and was about to burrow into the forest, and his heart tightened.
"Guoguo!Guoguo!Come back, come back......"
The little beast didn't seem to care about his nervousness, and in three steps and two steps, he rushed to the edge of the forest, raised his head and let out a long roar, and plunged into the forest triumphantly, and his figure disappeared at once!
Seeing this, Luo Fifteen was so angry and anxious, he hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched!
I have the intention to let the little beast disappear like this, but I think that without it as a guide, I am afraid that I will not even be able to get out of this mountain in ten days and a half months, not to mention that the little beast has a great kindness to himself, and he can't help but repay it.
That's it, the most you can do is pay for your life!
Recently, his strength has skyrocketed, and he also has a little confidence in his heart, Luo Fifteen bit his teeth, raised his hand and pulled out the black short knife on his trouser leg, and jumped forward, and his figure also disappeared into this dense darkness.
Just when the boy and the little beast had just entered the forest, outside the forest, not far from where the boy had been standing, three figures came out, two men and one woman, one of whom was a middle-aged man pinching his chin and whispering: "It seems that this little thing really hid the colorful bells in this dark forest......
But who was the boy who followed the little thing in?
After thinking for a moment, this person waved his hand, and the other two realized, one of the women took out a delicate jade jar, gently lifted the lid, and flew out of it a hundred-bearded gold beetle beetle, only to see that the strange insect shook its wings, and it quietly landed in a nearby grass, and then the three of them nodded to each other, turned around, and disappeared into the nearby bushes in a few vertical jumps.
