"Which direction are we going now?" said Daciano, urging the mule cart to Annsa's car.

"There should be a place for refuge here, right?" said Ann Esa with her hand on the pergola and looking into the distance.

"Those houses have long since become wasteland, and we are destined to spend the night in the wilderness. Daciano spread his hands helplessly.

Bell drove up from the other side of the road, and when he came out of the secret passage, he wondered how he should survive in the mountains: "Do you know where there is a stream? ”

Hearing Bell's words, Daciano raised his eyebrows: "There is a stream not far from the spring, and you can reach it by walking down this stone path." If you want to go, you have to do it as soon as possible, and it will soon get dark. ”

"Okay, then I'll be in front, Anelsa is behind, pay attention to both sides of the road. As he spoke, Bell urged the mule cart along the stone path.

Anesha's car was behind Bell, and Daciano was last. The stone path winds into the dense forest in the distance, and judging by the terrain is uphill, judging by the direction, this road leads to a high mountain in front of it.

The three mule carts moved forward, and the road was overgrown with weeds on both sides, and in a short time it had already circled into a dense forest. Before entering the jungle, Bell loudly instructed An'esa to keep an eye on the left and right sides. The forests here are no less dense than those around the outpost, and the hundreds of years of isolation have made this place full of dangers.

Susal and the others have been dealing with springs for many years, and they are very familiar with this mountain road, and everyone has been very nervous since entering the dense forest. With his weapon in his hand, he watched vigilantly, and the wooden wheels rolled on the stone path, making a crackling sound, which was enough to attract some fierce beasts to hunt.

While the sky was not completely dark, many nocturnal beasts had not begun to forage for food, and Bell and the others had to find the stream as soon as possible. There was no extra time to make torches, the light in the dense forest was already very dim, the oil lamps on the mule cart were their only lighting tools, and the teammates around them were the ones they relied on.

After a few detours, it was already completely dark, and a few howls were heard, and even Bell couldn't tell whether it was a wolf or a leopard making that sound. The oil lamps lit a long distance in the secret passages, because the solid stone walls reflected some of the light, while in the dense forest, the oil lamps could only illuminate about five meters around them.

Bell knew that if it was a leopard, five meters away would be enough to strike a deadly attack on the people on the mule cart. This was not what worried him the most, but the fact that there were eighteen mules in the convoy, and the smell of these animals would attract those who had been hungry for a long time.

"How far is it to get to the location of the spring?" It was pitch black beyond the range of the fire, and Bell had no way to judge the surroundings, and if it was daytime, he could have deduced the location of the stream based on his knowledge, but now he couldn't at all.

Susal roughly estimated the time: "It will be soon! Two more bends will be to the place of the spring, and then there will be a stream not far away, and then follow the branch of the spring, and there will be a stream not far away!"

As soon as Susar's words fell, suddenly Daciano at the back screamed! followed by a terrible howl of an animal! "Hurry up!

"Watch the flanks!Protect me with Anesha's throwing knives!Daciano!Let the mules tethered to your back go in turn!If possible, cut them before letting them go!" Bell shouted!

Hearing Bell's command, Anelsa shouted a good word, and then feared that Daciano would not hear Bell's words, so he asked Susal to shout back!

And she herself pulled the reins in one hand, and held two throwing knives in the other, staring closely at the Bell Daciano in front of her, there were a total of six people in the cart, and the beast that suddenly sprang out just now was a black leopard, but fortunately she was already vigilant and did not let the leopard pounce on the mule cart.

Let one of the big men be in charge of driving the cart, and the other man will bleed the mule first, and then cut the rope, and she and the other three will be in charge of the safety of the two men! One of the mules' necks was cut by the big man with a long sword, and the rope that held it was cut by Qi Root, and the mules had already smelled the smell of wild beasts in the dark, and the reason why they didn't run around was thanks to the oil lamps on the vehicles! The fire was the only thing they felt safe.

It can be cut with a long sword by the people in the car, which is enough to break the fear of the mule to the limit. As the rope that bound it was cut off, the wounded mule screamed and broke away from the group! The mule that fell into the darkness soon let out a terrible howl! With the low roar of the beast, Daciano felt a cold sweat break down his spine.

The nine mules tied to the last of the convoy turned into a feast of beasts one after another! Seeing that the last mule died tragically in the darkness, Bell's mule cart had entered the last corner.

The dense forest on both sides of the road gradually thinned out, and Bell's heart gradually relaxed, and after running forward for a while, the convoy had already gotten rid of the dark forest. The stars hung in the night sky, and a waning moon gradually climbed. The beasts in the dense forest behind him were still roaring, and Daciano looked back and saw that there were no beasts continuing to follow the convoy.

"Are you all right, are anybody hurt, we're almost there!" Bell shouted in front, and by the moonlight he could already see the silver glow in the distance.

"We're okay here!A beast of prey just tried to attack and was killed by Susar!No one was injured on Daciano's side!" An'esa looked back at the vehicle behind her, and saw that Daciano waved at her, and counted the heads.

Bell breathed a sigh of relief, when he was in the village, the adults used to say that the most dangerous thing to hunt outside is to drive in the dense forest at night! If it is on foot, it is better to say, as long as the noise is not loud and the smell is well masked, it is difficult to be spotted by wild beasts. I'm afraid that the sound will be loud when I drive the car, and the smell of livestock can't be hidden, and many nocturnal beasts are good at ambushing, and when the light is low, everything will be over if one is not careful.

It is safer in the open area, and many nocturnal beasts will not get more vantage points, and many will give up attacking, even leopards that are known for their speed will not be able to pose a greater threat to people here when facing experienced hunters. Unless you encounter a beastmaster or a herd, this is the safest place.

Soon Bell and his party came and brought the side of the small stream formed by the spring, which was divided into two directions, and on one side was a deep pool, which was the first time that the innkeeper who found the spring had found it and had found a reservoir to build it. On the other side, the stream formed by the clear spring slowly flowed towards a large area of silver light!

"That's it! we'll spend the night there tonight!" Bell waved back, such a wide body of water could already be a natural barrier on one side!
