"Captain...... Will we really make it to the end...... I felt like I was running out of energy. ”

A crying voice reached my ears.

In the long black night, there was a sound that pierced the night sky, and the followers kept running, and the sound of iron bumps kept ringing in the silent night, but they couldn't find any foreign objects in the darkness.

Everything fell into a dark dead silence, except for the strange noise, only a few gasps and breathing, tense and dull chases.

"Rest assured, we've got enough food, now all we have to do is find a place to hide...... Just wait until dawn...... We'll be able to go back...... Hold on!"

The man's muffled shouts echoed through the dense woods, but the trembling voice made it easy to hear the fear hidden in the sound.

The night seemed unusually long, and the strange creaking of the metal objects outside the footsteps became more and more distracting, and the gradually noisy footsteps seemed to indicate that the strange crisis was approaching.

"Captain, I'...... I don't have the strength, I really can't run. ”

In the face of life and death, this thin young man had exhausted all his potential, but he still did not shake off the monster behind him in the slightest, but seemed to be getting closer and closer.

The young man clutched his abdomen and gasped intensely, the bloodshot in his thin eyes had gradually spread, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

"Wait, I'll carry you!"

In the crisis, the man did not expose the weakness of human nature, and desperately turned back to save his last remaining team member.

Until he bumped into something.

......

"I almost crashed into a big tree that shone metallic gray...... At least that's what I thought. Approximately sixteen feet tall, the tree has stout, cylindrical branches, each of which splits into six oblate structures. This may just be natural, and the same reason can explain the peculiar arrangement of branches – at the top of the trunk, in a regular circle. ”

But when the branches of the trees near me suddenly spread out and stretched out as if they were about to grab me, the natural explanation was useless. From the tip of what I thought was the trunk of a tree rose an oval-like object with no facial features...... There is a large open hole at the top. ”

"At the same time, they all have something strange on their trunks. It was pink, five feet long. The crustacean-like body was covered with several pairs of massive, dorsal fins or membranous wings, as well as groups of arthropods. ”

"And where it should have been head, there is a complex ellipsoid, which is covered with a large number of short tentacles......"

"The tentacles are like folded barrels, and from the middle of the barrel body, the thin tentacles protrude horizontally like the spokes of a wheel, and on the top and bottom of the barrel protrude protruding nodular-like objects, and from the nodules protrude five long, flattened arms, which are tapered at the ends, like starfish. ”

"They are real starry ......"

The man's horror was repeated over and over again, he shivered slightly, stared into the distance from time to time, shrunk his head in fear, and yelled into the air from time to time.

Obviously, the poor man has gone mad.

It should be noted that this man only has a head left, and his neck has been brutally cut open and disappeared, but he is not dead, but keeps this head and keeps telling about the monster he has encountered, and there is a layer of green slime on his neck that I don't know what to do.

On the other side, Xue Muyan shook her head in disappointment.

It was the fifth such person they had met along the way, and without exception it was a human with only one head left, panicking about what had happened.

Even then, it was hard to deduce anything useful from the staccato messages of these poor madmen, the only thing they knew was that there was a powerful monster in the mist.

It seems to have a peculiar penchant for its prey, not killing it instantly, but instead separating its body from its head and coating it with some strange special liquid.

Under the protection of this layer of liquid, they will not die immediately, but can survive for a while.

"Can't we get around here? It seems like it's almost dawn. Lin Yetian looked at the distance beyond the sky.

There was a faint glimmer of light in the gray sky, not much, but the air was already filled with the chill of dawn.

The dark forest has also covered the gray dew; The early lark sings high in the half-light and half-dark sky, and in the far, far away sky, there seems to be a great last morning star staring, like a lonely eye.

It's terrifying.

"There's no way, it's the fifth way we've taken, but it's always happening. ”

Xue Muyan pointed to the head on the ground that was talking, and did not speak again.

Along the way, they also encountered a lot of monsters, but under the luxurious lineup of these people, most of the monsters were surrounded and killed by them, and now the food shared by the five of them was far beyond the goal set for them by the central camp at the beginning.

It can even be said that if all the food this time is handed over to the City Lord's Mansion, then they will not need to participate in the next and next "hunting operation", they only need to wait for the distribution of food in the central camp safely.

Even if the amount of food is not enough for Xue Muyan and a few people to eat, there is still a large amount of meat obtained from Adam to satisfy hunger, which is even more convenient for Xue Muyan to investigate the key.

"Since we're going to encounter monsters wherever we go, we can just stay where we are and stay there until dawn before we can return. ”

The ancient griffin thought about it and made suggestions for a few people.

At this time, he had almost completely regarded himself as an ordinary doomsday warrior, almost forgetting the fact that he was acting as the city lord not long ago.

"Staying where you are is a real option, and it's safer to put up defenses right here than to walk around. Oliver analyzed with his right hand on his cheek.

"Well, and maybe that monster is trying to lure us into its trap, so I think we'd better not mess around at the end. Meng Ping said cowardly.

"But if it's going to set a trap, why should it have a few things that are only above its neck?

Lin Yetian scratched his head and said strangely.

Again, this does not make sense. The ancient griffon nodded.

"What an idiot, if I wanted me, I wouldn't do so many bells and whistles, anyway, if it's really powerful, wouldn't it be nice to pounce directly. Lin Yetian muttered loudly.

As soon as the words fell, a strange metallic sound not far away reached the ears of several people.

Xue Muyan's eyes froze.
