Chapter 340: Vigil
Luo Luo drank the soup, and Chen Rulong ate barbecue next to her, looking at the snake meat in her bowl with terrifying eyes from time to time.
"Don't look at it, you won't die if you eat it."
Luo Luo was stared at all over, so he simply picked up the bowl and drank it clean, "Tonight, I keep the first half of the night, and you watch the second half of the night, what do you think?" ”
"Yes."
After eating and drinking, Chen Rulong wiped his mouth, lay in the hammock and yawned, and fell asleep after a while.
With Luoluo in charge of the vigil, Chen Rulong slept exceptionally peacefully.
After being tired of running for so many days, I finally got a good rest.
From eight o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, it was time to change shifts, and Luo Luo, who was yawning, was just about to wake up Chen Rulong, but when he saw the dark circles under his eyes, he sighed and helped Chen Rulong tuck the quilt.
"Forget it, let you sleep a little longer."
Just as Luo Luo was breaking his thoughts, a strange wind suddenly blew outside the door, and the fallen leaves rolled into the room along with the sand and stones, and the dim lights were extinguished.
At the same time, there was a foul smell coming from outside.
Luo Luo was vigilant and hurriedly woke up Chen Rulong, who was lying on the bed.
"Don't sleep, wake up!"
Chen Rulong rubbed his sleepy eyes, slowly sat up from the bed, and said reluctantly: "I only slept for a while, so wake me up." ”
Hearing this, Luo Luo suddenly became angry, "You have no conscience, get up for me!" ”
He kicked Chen Rulong off the hammock and threw over a piece of clothing, "There seems to be some strange smell outside, my eyes are not as good as you at night, let's go over and have a look." ”
"Okay."
Chen Rulong put on his clothes weakly, pushed open the gate of the courtyard against the wind, and couldn't see anything outside in the black, but the forest did exude a foul smell.
The smell was even stronger, so that Luo Luo, who was originally a little clean, couldn't help retching, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his complexion changed suddenly and said, "This doesn't taste right!" ”
"How could the smell be right, maybe someone's manure pit exploded."
Chen Rulong yawned and said lazily: "Okay, you go back to rest, I'll help you guard here." ”
"Can you be a little wary!"
Luo Luo glared at him angrily, "The smell is the smell of fermentation and decay, not the volatilization of skalin from feces!" ”
"And this smell has the smell of mutton, and the faint fishy smell of fish, only the dead can emit such a strange smell!"
Luo Luo's words scared Chen Rulong into a clever one, and the sleepiness just now disappeared.
"What do you mean...... There are dead people not far from us!? ”
"That's right." Luo Luo lit the torch with a solemn expression, "We are going forward to survey left and right, and it is safer to take the initiative than to sit still." ”
Chen Rulong nodded, and the two of them lit the firewood with fire oil, and approached the depths of the dense forest step by step......
The moon is dark and killing, the wind is high and does not leave a trace, tonight it is so dark that you can't see your fingers, the sound of the wind blowing through the forest makes people feel cold, and occasionally a branch falling from the tree makes the two of them nervous.
Chen Rulong, who has cultivated the Taishang Tao Te Ching, has several times the eyesight of ordinary people in the dark night, and he can see a few meters more than Luoluo.
Suddenly, Chen Rulong stopped, and at the same time stopped Luo Luo beside him.
"Pervert, where are you going!" Luo Luo's cheeks turned red, and he shook off Chen Rulong's arm angrily.
Chen Rulong looked confused, "Didn't I drag your arm?" ”
"You...... You're tugging on the inside of your arm! ”
Chen Rulong laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice." ”
Ignoring is the biggest contempt, Luo Luoqi's face turned blue and white for a while, "Okay, you, you have a kind!" ”
Chen Rulong shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a solemn expression: "Now is not the time for us to quarrel, you look at the front carefully!" ”
Following the direction of Chen Rulong's finger, Luo Luo didn't see anything.
Luo Luo was a little impatient: "My eyesight is not as good as yours, can you tell me clearly what is in front of me?" ”
"I don't know."
"Your uncle, you don't sleep at night, don't you?"
"It's not to scare you, it's that I really don't know." Chen Rulong squinted his eyes and looked closely, "Next to a big locust tree in front, there is a thing more than two meters high, which seems to be a blind bear standing on it, but that thing is covered with a red cloth. ”
"That thing doesn't move, and I don't dare to rush forward."
Luo Luo picked up the torch and threw it forward in the direction of Chen Rulong's finger.
The torches hit the ground, reflecting what was hidden under the locust tree.
It was indeed a red cloth, it was tightly covered from head to toe, and judging from the outline shape, it didn't look like a person.
The thing shrouded in red cloth is called an irregular shape, and two sharp objects like sticks are stretched forward in front of it, and something like a tree root spreads out from under its feet, and the red cloth makes a whining sound as the wind blows.
Luo Luo looked at Chen Rulong with disdain, "Whose sheets are blown by the wind and hung on the bushes, can scare you like this?" ”
Chen Rulong scratched his head, a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't expect it either." ”
Luo Luo stepped forward and grabbed the red quilt and ripped it off.
In the next moment, the two were stunned.
Wrapped under the sheets was not a tree root, but a monster covered in green hair, bloated skin, and flesh blurred with clothes clinging to it.
The monster's palms stiffened to stretch out black nails, and the soles of its feet were more like a huge tumor with lesions, stretching outward to reveal a pool of rotten flesh like duck flippers.
The weirdest thing is the position of the monster's mouth, the gums can be seen in the rotten mandible, and there is a string of rusty and green copper coins running from the mouth to the back of the head, and the knot is wrapped around twice.
If it weren't for the silhouette of a human being seen from the face of the giant, no one would have dared to believe that this two-meter-long monster turned into a person after death.
