More than two months later, the southern forest of Rongshan.

A bat flew down from the sky and landed on Dong Rui's shoulder, he listened to it and was in good spirits: "The town is five miles ahead, and there are only five miles left!" ”

The snow has melted, and the ground is often damp.

But they couldn't ride the snail toad, because Dong Rui operated on the snail toad twice, and the latter entered a state of sleep and recuperation, not moving or consuming, and even prunella grass did not need to be eaten, Dong Rui hid it in his backpack.

Before, the snail toad carried people, and now people carry snail toads.

Dong Rui himself was tired and confused, so he wanted to find a place to hide and sleep.

He looked at He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu like two tireless monsters.

Especially Aunt Zhu, since she separated from her sisters and got a widow, she has been very energetic. No matter how harsh the mountain environment is, it is willing to eat it.

In Aunt Zhu's own words, it has slept enough in the past 3,000 years, and it should be more active.

It adapts well to the new shell.

Zhu Erniang filled the flesh and blood into the remains and then handed it over, which was equivalent to letting it take away a blank body without a soul, and the difficulty was almost zero, except that it was possible to lose a little memory.

As far as the observation of the soul mirror is concerned, the last two times of Emperor Flowing Pulp have made the aura of heaven and earth active again, which is just conducive to the body of Aunt Zhu.

However, it is now the number two player on the Lingxu City Most Wanted Heavenly List, in order not to cause trouble, Aunt Zhu has done a little disguise on her appearance, first put away the iconic abdominal star map, and changed it into a red and black special color for poisonous spiders, and her body is also square, with spikes on the edges, and the overall size has been reduced by two.

This is not like a crypt spider at all, He Lingchuan gave it a thumbs up: "Like a big crab." ”

Crabs also have eight claws and are also square shells with serrated edges......

There is also crab paste.

Dong Rui yawned again: "Where did this kid go two months ago, aren't you curious at all, Aunt Zhu?" ”

"Nope."

When "......" gets along for a long time, he can easily distinguish the two queen sisters of the spider.

Aunt Zhu is very upright and doesn't like the many twists and turns, while Zhu Erniang has brains and can think like a human being.

Dong Rui rubbed the mud off the soles of his shoes on the trunk of the tree, and suddenly pointed to the sky: "Tianluo Star has long been out of light, you know, right?" ”

"Uh-huh."

"I don't know when it dimmed, and it never lit up again."

He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "When you say that, it's true." ”

Dong Rui turned his head and stared at him viciously: "Is it related to the things you snatched from the Heavenly Palace Star Tower?" ”

He recently looked up at the starry sky, only to find that Tianluo Star was gone!

Is Celestial Ross important? Of course!

If there was no Tianluo Star in the sky, there would be no plan for He Lingchuan's ruin mountain at all!

"Yes, of course." He Lingchuan smiled, "This is top secret, and those who know it are in extreme danger, more dangerous than escaping from the Heavenly Palace, do you want to hear it?" ”

Dong Rui sneered: "Isn't our current situation dangerous? ”

He saw He Lingchuan open his mouth to speak, and said first: "Forget it, let's do it later." ”

He wasn't mentally prepared yet.

Returning to the second mile, the forest is forested, and the evening wind is howling.

They found their way again, and it was repaired by hand, and the ground was fairly level.

"Hurry!" As soon as Dong Rui urged, He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu slowed down their pace and looked left and right.

"What's wrong?"

"It's too quiet in the woods." Even in winter, when the tired birds return to the forest in the evening, it will be noisy. There was no sound here.

Not to mention that Aunt Zhu's eight claw tips have an extraordinary sense of touch, even if there are voles burrowing or walking under the snow, they can't hide it.

But now it says, "I don't feel any life, look at the trees." ”

Tree?

Dong Rui raised his head and observed carefully.

In autumn and winter, the trees are basically leafless, and they are already bald and withered, and they are covered with thick snow, so it is impossible to be as lush as spring and summer.

But Dong Rui still found a round hole in the tree, the diameter of which was about as thick as the tail finger.

What caused someone to hammer nails into a tree?

As soon as he paid attention, he found that there were at least seventeen or eighteen round holes in the tree.

This tree has it, and that tree has it...... Dong Rui inspected more than a dozen trees in a row, no matter how big or small, they were all full of round holes!

Aunt Zhu suddenly said: "This is caused by mouthparts." ”

He Lingchuan slammed his palm on the tree.

The big tree that the two hugged broke into two with a click, and the sound was too crisp.

The top was so big that the wood was cut off and fell down with a bang.

In this way, it did not alarm the birds.

The forest was still eerily quiet.

"Look." He Lingchuan pointed to the section of the tree, "The inside is completely dead." ”

Dong Rui leaned over to take a look, and the cross-section that he had broken was gray-black, with countless radial cracks.

Inside and out, the tree has no water or activity at all.

He Lingchuan randomly interrupted a few more trees, no matter what variety, whether it was thick or thin, this was the case.

Dong Rui's bat demon puppet also found a dead hare in a rock crevice.

It was not rotten, but it was shriveled and shriveled.

"Sucked dry." When Dong Rui said this, he looked at Aunt Zhu, "Is this your kind?" ”

He has studied crypt spiders, and he has also seen how spiders eat people, and it is indeed to inject venom first, and then stick the mouthparts to the end, and smack the dissolved flesh and blood essence.

He also stretched out his hand and said, "Look, there's cobwebs there." ”

In the depths of the dense forest, there is white silk, which wisps with the wind. He Lingchuan stretched out his knife and stirred a few pieces of white silk to observe carefully, the viscosity was very high, and the toughness was also good.

"Nonsense." Aunt Zhu doesn't carry this pot, and it doesn't work to let the same kind of people carry it.

He Lingchuan also said: "This is not a spider web. ”

Zhu Erniang's spider silk is very versatile, and he knows each model. At first glance, this white silk looks a bit like spider silk, but in fact, the strength and weave are completely different from that of crypt spiders.

Dong Rui yawned: "Standing here, I can't come to any conclusions." ”

The two of them temporarily suppressed the doubts in their hearts and continued to move towards the town.

Soon, patches of farmland appeared. But the fields were covered with white wire netting.

They ignored it and moved on.

Finally, the town arrived.

The town in the woods is unusually quiet, with no voices and no lights.

Dong Rui sighed.

He has been sleeping in the open for two months, and he still thinks that he can get to the town to eat a hot meal, take a hot bath, and live a life that a human being should have.

As a result, such a small wish was disappointed.

Dozens of houses in the town were eerily quiet, and some of the doors were wide open and creaky from the north wind.

He Lingchuan looked at the street: "Look at the footprints on the ground, no one has moved for at least half a day." ”

The rain had started last night, and the ground was a little muddy, but there were no new footprints.

This town has at least three to five hundred permanent residents, right? Not a single one who came out and walked around?
