Chapter 139: Midnight Jungle
Is this catching up?
This group of people is really outrageous enough.
What do we have a grudge against them?
Isn't it just two bags of steamed buns and steamed buns?
Zhang San hurriedly stood up, took out a hundred yuan from his bag and threw it on the ground.
"Let's go, if they catch up, nothing will happen."
I was helpless, so I could only stand up with me.
I didn't know if a hundred yuan was enough, and I also lost a hundred yuan on the ground, which was still the most conspicuous place.
Hopefully, if they get the money, they won't chase it anymore.
Stubbornly, Zhang San and I could only run towards the depths of the dense forest.
After entering the forest, all kinds of strange sensations came.
Again, as before, tension and uneasiness enveloped both of us.
I handed the steamed bun in my hand to Zhang San, and then took out the compass.
"The compass is failing again."
Hearing my words, Zhang San was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his hand to look at his watch.
"It's 1:15 and the sun is directly above us in the west.
"Brother Li, with the help of the shadows, we can judge the direction."
I almost forgot about it.
Quickly picked up a branch next to it and erected it in his hand, and then compared the scale of the watch.
But then I frowned.
"Brother Li, have you judged it?" Zhang San looked at me.
My brow furrowed, and I slowly looked up at him.
"Do you think, do you think there's the sun right now?"
Zhang San's brows suddenly twisted.
This dense coniferous forest completely blocks out all sunlight.
It was noon, but the forest was dark.
To be able to see is to be able to see, but no sunlight is shining through.
At the same time, a voice came from behind again,
"There are marks on the ground, go this way, they must be ahead."
Zhang San turned his face away abruptly.
"Is this group of people endless? The money is left for them, why are they still chasing? ”
It's probably unrealistic to ask them why.
I took a deep breath and quickened my pace.
"Let's run first, let's talk about it when we run."
Zhang San could only stubbornly follow behind me.
Our pace kept accelerating, and the more we ran, the deeper we went into the dense forest.
Although I knew in my heart that it was not safe in this forest.
But now there is clearly no other way.
From time to time, Zhang San would turn his head to look at me.
"Brother Li, it's not a matter to continue running like this, is there any other way?"
In the face of Zhang San's inquiry, I only felt that my head was a little big.
Way?
If there is a way, I will run here with him.
However, there is a little bit of evil in human nature.
I stopped.
"If they want to die, then fulfill them."
Zhang San grabbed my arm and continued to run.
"What do you think, you really want to kill?"
This sentence immediately calmed me down.
Cultivating the Tao and cultivating demons are two completely different concepts.
But many times it's a mistake of thought.
If I had done something just now, some of the things I had been holding on to would have been destroyed.
With a long sigh of relief, I ran in front of Zhang San.
At this time, it was as if we were playing hide and seek in this wood.
Every now and then, the voices of those people will be heard.
But every time they were about to catch us, we were able to slip away at the most critical moment.
And so it went on until the afternoon.
Zhang San and I hid in a big tree.
"I don't hear those people for an hour, right?"
"Should it be safe?" Zhang San looked at me and asked.
"It's not safe, it's getting dark after all!" I whispered.
My words directly turned Zhang San's face green.
Compared to the danger that the villagers brought to us,
The danger lurking in this dense forest seems even greater.
And both of us know very well that there are still things hiding in the shadows, in corners we don't know about.
I don't know if I'm too nervous, Zhang San swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at me.
"Brother Li, shall we continue to run, or shall we hide in this tree for the night?"
As things stand, it's not necessarily safe to hide in a tree for the night.
But it is even more dangerous to travel at night in the woods.
It's really hard to choose.
"Let's eat some steamed buns first, and then talk about the rest when you're full."
At this time, the buns we grabbed were already cold, and they didn't taste as delicious as they did at noon.
In addition to the stuffed meat, there is also a bit of taste, chewing the bun skin is like chewing wax.
I swallowed a mouthful of buns with great effort.
"Just hiding in this tree, even if it's not safe, at least you can know what's not safe." I whispered.
The trees occupy high positions, and if something wants to attack us, we can detect the existence of those things in the first place.
But correspondingly, our location is also more easily exposed.
A passing beast, or something, just look up and see both of us at first sight.
It was completely dark, and there were sparse and strange sounds around from time to time.
It was like something was cutting through the forest.
Zhang San pricked up his ears to listen to those voices, and the more he listened, the more ugly his expression became.
"Brother Li, how do I feel that there are so many things around us?"
"In the forest, that's what it looks like at night."
"It's not like you haven't spent the night in the woods."
Zhang San's face was bitter.
"The night is the night, but it's not so weird!"
Just as Zhang San's words fell, I suddenly heard a footstep stop abruptly.
The footsteps that suddenly stopped seemed to hear Zhang San's voice.
I slowly turned my face to look in the direction the voice was coming from.
But it was pitch black in the forest, and I couldn't see anything.
Zhang San noticed the change in my expression.
Quickly turned off the watch that emitted a faint light on his hand.
At this time, even around us, there is darkness.
"Brother Li, do you want to turn on the flashlight?" Zhang San asked me in a low voice.
My attention was still all in the direction I heard the sound.
I didn't have the kung fu, and I didn't have the energy to answer his questions.
The sigil is already in my hands.
The corpse whip was also tightly held in his hand.
Whatever it is, if it dares to come close, I'll let it come and go.
This eerie atmosphere of silence lasted for five or six minutes.
Zhang San stood up from the tree abruptly.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't care, it's so uncomfortable." While speaking, Zhang San directly turned on the flashlight.
The moment the light appeared, I noticed what seemed to be a large group of things under the tree.
But the moment the light appeared, the group of things immediately dispersed.
It was so fast that I could barely see it with my naked eye.
What is this thing?
Zhang San seemed to notice those things as well and stopped his complaints.
