The bright moonlight shone through the tall trees, shining on the ground covered with fallen leaves like a layer of hoarfrost.

Under a tall cedar tree, a young girl with a very pale face was curled up and leaning against the trunk of the tree and fell asleep, the brows on the girl's pale face furrowed from time to time, as if something bad had happened in her sleep.

Not far in front of her was a bonfire lit by wooden blocks, which burned and crackled from time to time. The flames beat against the sudden drop in temperature at night in the forest.

With a gentle breeze, the flames swayed. The coolness hit, and the girl's body, who had been in a coma, trembled uncontrollably. Then she opened her eyes and let out a big sneeze.

"This is ......"

The deeper you go into the cave, the more obvious the signs of manipulation become, but the more serious the damage to the cave becomes. Due to the extreme darkness and the fact that the ventilation system inside the cave may have been damaged, Xiaoxiao's progress in exploring the interior of the cave became slower and slower as the exploration progressed.

When Xiaoxiao had only a few spare batteries left for the flashlight she was carrying, she decided to return first and then prepare more supplies and come back later. After all, in the complete darkness of the underground, it is extremely terrible to have no light. What's more, she could be sure that there was definitely some kind of unknown creature in the depths of this unknown cavern.

However, on the way back from the vague route she remembered, Xiaoxiao took the wrong route because it was too dark in the cave, and accidentally entered a special metal room. In that metal room, she unexpectedly found that it was different from the band and pieces that had been destroyed outside. The contents of the metal room were very well preserved, and after her careful search, she finally found an unused notebook on a table placed in the corner of the metal room.

Xiaoxiao, who found this unexpected joy, tried to open the notebook, but she didn't expect that the notebook that she hadn't used for a long time could still be used! Xiaoxiao hurriedly took action and quickly searched for potentially useful information in her laptop. Perhaps in order to repay Xiaoxiao's hard work for many days of tracking, she found a lot of data in the computer that she couldn't understand. However, although the computer can boot, there is not much power left in the laptop. She could only rummage through the information as fast as she could, trying to find something she could understand.

Finally, a few minutes later, she found it! In a folder called "Logs" files, Xiaoxiao saw many video files.

Due to the limited power, she clicked on one of them at random. Even in the face of the Zero Beast, which feeds on humans and takes pleasure in torturing people, she dares to fight against them. But what was played in the video still made her feel chilled, and at the same time, it also made her anger unprecedentedly high.

Because in that silent video, a group of people wearing gas masks and white coats are conducting some kind of terrible experiment on a girl with a look of despair in her eyes.

In the video, they injected an unknown potion into the girl's delicate body. Then, after being tied to the bed with various chains in the morning, she was injected with the potion, and her face immediately became bruised, and she kept convulsing on the bed. Moments later, the girl may have lost her strength and passed out. Nearby researchers leaned over to check on the girl. But the next moment, the unconscious girl suddenly broke free from the chain with a hideous face, sat up from the bed, and killed the researchers one by one like a terrible beast.

Then there are many strong men with loaded guns, and after a fierce battle, they shoot the girl in the video. And the video came to an abrupt end.

After watching it, Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, calmed down the shock, and continued to look through the videos in the folder, without exception, most of the videos were some children who were injected with drugs. However, most of them died on the spot after being injected with an unknown drug, and a few of them would become like little girls and then be killed by the people who rushed to them.

Just when Xiaoxiao was immersed in the process of flipping through the video, she was extremely shocked by the picture in the video, and she was suddenly attacked by some kind of creature in the dark. The notebook in his hand was beaten and disappeared into the darkness, and Xiaoxiao himself was also hit by a blow from an unknown creature.

Fighting in the dark was extremely unfavorable due to the fact that the flashlight's backup battery was about to run out, and she was already injured. Xiaoxiao decided to run away immediately, and the unknown creature in the darkness also chased after her. After chasing and escaping like this, Xiaoxiao, who had already taken the wrong route, couldn't find a way back to the ground.

Soon the flashlight was completely depleted, and Xiaoxiao ran in the completely dark underground cavern with her senses, but this speed was too slow compared to the unknown creature that had lived in the darkness for many years. Soon Xiaoxiao was caught up by an unknown creature coming from behind, and in the darkness Xiaoxiao was at an absolute disadvantage, coupled with the previous injury, Xiaoxiao quickly couldn't parry the attack of the unknown creature.

Just when Xiaoxiao thought that she was going to confess to the hands of an unknown creature, her mind was highly concentrated in the crisis, and her mind was flowing several times faster than before, and she sensed the air flow in the cave trembling.

Since there is air flowing, it means that there is an exit nearby!

With hope burning in her heart, Xiaoxiao cheered up and squeezed every trace of strength in her body and rushed out in the direction of the flow of air.

Finally, she escaped before the unknown creature behind her could attack her.

The sun that had not shone for a long time shone on Xiaoxiao's body, and she immediately felt dizzy.

And in the dizziness, she heard a terrible scream coming from the hole behind her, and Xiaoxiao, who was shocked by this scream, dragged her injured body and squeezed the little physical strength in her body, and ran frantically away from the entrance of the cave.

I don't know how long she ran, but she fainted after exhausting her physical strength.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a dense forest and her phone was dead. Without looking for a way out in the first place, Xiaoxiao decided to recuperate in the dense forest and wait for the injury to heal before going out.

With no cell phone and difficulty in getting her bearings, it took Xiaoxiao a long time to get back to the town, which was populated by a large number of residents. After completely recovering from her injuries, she repurchased supplies and made several attempted explorations.

She finally learns that the unidentified creature that attacked her inside the cave was a giant bat that had mutated for unknown reasons.

Xiaoxiao, who was unwilling to give up easily, had dealt with it many times, but due to the influence of the dark and unfamiliar underground environment, it was difficult for Xiaoxiao to dispose of it before she thought of dialing Ling Feng's phone.

After listening to Xiaoxiao's account of her experience over the past month or so, Ling Feng was surprised and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"Didn't you know to inform me earlier?" Ling Feng said in an unprecedentedly questioning tone.

You must know that Xiaoxiao is investigating the truth about the unjustified disaster that he and Ling Ya's parents suffered eight years ago, if Xiaoxiao was injured or even died at the hands of that giant mutant bat because of this. Ling Feng will definitely blame himself for the rest of his life.

But then Xiaoxiao's answer made Ling Feng's heart skip a beat, and Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. Gu contacted me before, and he said that you and the resurrected Nine-Tailed Zero Fox had fought to the death and were seriously injured. That's why I didn't call you. ”

Did Mr. Gu tell him about the gauntlet's eating away at his life?

Ling Feng's heart was suddenly shocked, he didn't want the people close to him to know about his body, after all, Ling Feng didn't want them to worry about him.

And he had already decided that if he was destined to become a monster one day, he would definitely end his life completely at the last moment of keeping his sanity.

"But I can't do anything now, this matter must be investigated. I have a hunch that there is a group of unidentified people in this world, doing something that threatens the spiritual realm and the future of this world. I think your injuries should be almost healed, so I'll call you. Ling Feng, can you come over now? After many mental simulations, I felt that the two of us would be able to kill the bat together. Then there's plenty of time to explore the underground cavern. ”

After speaking, Xiaoxiao glanced at the deserted orphanage where there was no one in sight in the distance. The image of the video she saw in the folder came to her mind, and even if it was a hot day, Xiaoxiao's heart was cold......

Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and rubbed her arm vigorously, only to slightly eliminate some of the cold feeling. She rubbed her eyes, and there were tall trees all around her, and lots of plants that she couldn't name. When she caught a glimpse of the bonfire not far in front of her, Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with joy, and then she was about to stand up and walk over to enjoy the warmth of the bonfire.

It's just that she hasn't straightened up yet, and the feeling of weakness coming from all over her body makes her almost lose her breath. In desperation, Xiaoxiao had to sit on the ground and slowly move her body to lean over.

The light of the fire shone on Xiaoxiao's body, and after five minutes, Xiaoxiao finally couldn't feel the cold of the night. Contented lying on the ground by the campfire, Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and began to recall what had happened before. At that time, he was already extremely weak and Ling Feng, who was not in his prime, was ready to escape from the cave first, and then find a way to deal with the bat monster.

But just as they were holding hands and preparing to leave first, the bat monster, which had been silent for a while, suddenly appeared and chased after them.

At this time, he was already weak and had no way to fight, so Ling Feng stood up and attacked the bat monster with a fireball of concentrated spiritual power. The original plan was to inflict some damage on it and then escape. Who would have thought that when Ling Feng was about to detonate the fireball of concentrated energy spiritual power, he would suddenly abandon his plan, endure a violent backlash, and then flee towards the entrance of the underground cave with his unconscious self.

"After that, I should have fainted. I think the bat monsters are going to catch up too. Ling Feng took me to run ........." Xiaoxiao's dark eyes reflected the flickering flames.

"Look, this should be the forest outside that waterfall, but Ling Feng Man, where did he go?" Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but worry, Ling Feng was actually not much better than his own state at that time.
