Chapter 66 - Hidden in the Dark

Zhou Xinyi quickly set his eyes on the bowl of thorny wart soup, "This ......?" ”

The noodle soup is a very appetizing pale yellow color, and there is an oily gloss on the soup noodles, exuding a seafood-like fragrance, but when Zhou Xinyi stirred the soup base with a spoon, he suddenly lost his appetite.

Because the prickly warts gathered at the bottom of the bowl showed a thousand purple and red colors, Zhou Xinyi could tell that they were different internal organs, which were chopped up and boiled together into the soup.

Seeing Zhou Xinyi's embarrassing movements, Ji Lin couldn't help but smile, "Aren't all judges traveling everywhere?" How can you be afraid of regional special cuisine? ”

Before Jizhou City was destroyed, the caravan did occasionally capture a few strillated warts and let them appear on the tables of the nobles, and its taste was also recognized as delicious.

"Then it seems that I am the coward of the judges."

Ji Lin took a sip of the stinging wart soup in front of Zhou Xinyi, "It tastes really good." ”

"If you really don't mind, you can give it to me, of course, your dry rice crackers will become very difficult to swallow after that."

Dry rice crackers are the dry food of Jizhou City today, which is made by grinding and mixing with flour with an ingredient called "Ji Rice", Ji Rice is not named after Ji Zhou City, it is a universal food among human beings, and it is named because there will be a bumper harvest every season.

Dry rice crackers, on the other hand, have no advantages other than being hungry and easy to preserve, and they can even absorb saliva from people's mouths, making themselves dry and unchewable.

Reality is different from the time of the light curtain, Zhou Xinyi has only been three hours since lunch, but he understands the importance of food to this light curtain, and after hesitation, he still chooses to eat.

He took a tentative sip and was surprised to find that it tasted really good!

The soup is somewhat like clam soup with cumin flavor, and the spiny wart meat is unexpectedly sweet and crunchy, like a fruity conch.

The salt that the people of Jizhou City are accustomed to using is not sea salt, but rock salt, and the taste of rock salt Zhou Xinyi tasted it in the last light curtain, but he didn't expect it to be particularly in tune with the thorn wart soup.

He had to say that it was worthy of the nobles' favorite delicacy, and he wanted to catch two more warts for Jiang Yi and brandy to taste.

Because he was not hungry, Zhou Xinyi only ate one piece of dry rice cake and saved the remaining two, and he could feel that it was necessary to store grain in this light curtain.

At night, Zhou Xinyi vaguely heard movement not far from the team, he was vigilant and listened for a while, and found that the sound was no different from the crawling of the thorny warts.

Another team of warts?

This time the team did not march, and there would be no loud vibrating sound of a large number of animals walking, and the warts would not actively provoke them.

But Zhou Xinyi thought about it and said to Changbai, "Can you hunt them again?" ”

If he can still bring the ink stone, it is not impossible for him to leave the team and take Changbai all the way to hunt.

As long as Changbai flies at a low altitude and does not make too much noise, the risk will be much smaller than the first time.

Changbai was very energetic at night, it did not refuse, and flew in the direction where the crawling sound was made.

During the time when Changbai flew away, Zhou Xinyi stood alone outside the tent and looked around, poisonous insects were most active at night, because the exploration team members were afraid of the attack of poisonous insects, and they needed to replenish the physical strength consumed during the day.

A whole day passed, and the team that Zhou Xinyi followed did not encounter any other troubles except for a wart attack, and he did not even see the shadow of the heir along the way.

Brandy and Jiang Yi also did not contact him, which means that the three of them are too far away, and the bats cannot find their whereabouts.

It would be nice if the phone was not scrapped due to the change in the magnetic field of the light curtain, and the contact problem could be easily solved with a single phone call.

It stands to reason that even if the light curtain gives them an initial teleportation point, it should give them a clear route like the Yi village, instead of confusing them like now, is the meaning of this light curtain to let them explore this vast wasteland?

Zhou Xinyi was thinking about it, when he suddenly noticed a woman's figure between the tents.

The woman was shorter than Ms. Ji Lin, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and strolling in the night light.

Every step she took was slow, her head bowed deeply, her long hair covering her features, so that Zhou Xinyi couldn't tell whether she was carefully distinguishing whether the ground under her feet was poisonous or sleepwalking.

Her steps were stiff, like a dead corpse, and she looked eerie in the stillness of the night.

Zhou Xinyi stared at her for a long time, and then she could tell her routeβ€”she was actually leaving in a zigzag way towards the edge of the camp.

Leaving the safety of the camp in the middle of the night, is this not knowing whether to live or die or is it trying to kill yourself?

At this moment, Changbai, who had already flown above the group of thorny warts, let out a dragon groan, which made everyone's hearts slow down by half a beat, and the sleeping team members were awakened in an instant.

Zhou Xinyi: "......" suffered, he forgot that there was still this stubble.

Immediately someone crawled out of the tent with a curse, and the night became chaotic again.

And the strolling woman was also stunned, and then ran in the direction of the camping point!

Zhou Xinyi also raised his vigilance instantly, thinking that it was an opportunity for everyone to wake up, and shouted, "Someone is running away!" ”

The people who climbed out of the tent also saw the woman.

They hadn't seen the woman's strange gait, and their first reaction was: someone was looking for a short time, or stealing something from the team.

The second guess is more likely, people immediately pick up what they have at hand and run after it, of course, there are also some people in the third echelon who are family members of other team members, even if it is the first guess, they can't stand idly by.

Zhou Xinyi also chased after him, he hadn't slept yet, and the items on his body were complete.

The woman was small and thin, but she was not slow to run, and the people couldn't close the distance between the two sides, and after chasing for a while, they stopped one after another.

They also couldn't go too far from the camping site at night, which was no different from suicide.

Zhou Xinyi relied on his ability to protect himself to chase dozens of meters more, and suddenly, his footsteps also stopped suddenly.

Because the woman in front of her was no longer running.

Not only did she not run, but there was a string of people standing around her, and only black shadows appeared in the dark night, and the black shadows held hands, like children's paper cutouts, forming a human wall in the dark night, and her face was full of weird smiles!

The human wall stood hand in hand in the distance, like a soulless puppet, but it made Zhou Xinyi's sweat and hair explode, and he was terrified.

What the is this?

Zhou Xinyi instinctively felt that he couldn't collide with this thing head-on, and was about to retreat, but his eyes suddenly glued to one of the women.

The woman also wore a weird smile, standing hand in hand in the human wall, and even if the night was dark and the distance was far away, Zhou Xinyi could distinguish the woman's vague facial features!

That's Jiang Yi?!

He couldn't contact Jiang Yi, which means that she should be far away, or is it that Jiang Yi's state is being restrained, so he can't receive his contact?

Despite the shock in his heart, Zhou Xinyi still firmly believed that he was absolutely not mistaken!

The thought of retreating was swept away, and Zhou Xinyi chased after him firmly, "Jiang Yi! ”

With a shout from him, the black shadows holding hands looked at him in unison, and then ran backwards!

This terrifying scene fell in Zhou Xinyi's eyes, but he only had eagerness in his heart, damn it, he really regretted sending Changbai away, and he couldn't catch up with his own speed at all!

Damn it.

If you have the ability, scary, don't run!

Probably because of the regression, the speed of the black shadow only exploded for a distance, and soon and inevitably slowed down, which made Zhou Xinyi see the hope of catching up with the black shadow.

But at this moment, a strong wind swept behind his side, and Zhou Xinyi, who was sensitive to the wind, felt it for the first time, and took out the judge's hammer in time, which blocked the monster's sneak attack!

He chased too far in the darkness and attracted the monsters that lurked in the darkness!

It was a huge monster, the fierce wind that Zhou Xinyi felt just now was just the sweep of its tail, it blocked the moonlight, Zhou Xinyi couldn't see its appearance clearly, but he could feel the bloody breath all over its body.

Zhou Xinyi picked up Wen Yan and shot it without thinking about it, and the monster's blood splashed on Zhou Xinyi's body, but the other party did not hesitate, and pounced on Zhou Xinyi again!

In the darkness, Zhou Xinyi felt the wind shaking beside him, and he realized that this monster had more than a dozen hands and feet, as terrifying as a distorted monster!

He couldn't dodge the blow, and several deep wounds were cut on his back and arms, while the monster's other arms were already swinging impatiently!

Zhou Xinyi could now be sure that Jiang Yi's state was wrong, and it was impossible for her to watch Zhou Xinyi suffer a hard battle and be indifferent.

But now, Zhou Xinyi can't be distracted and reasoning for the time being, because he feels a fatal crisis in the monster in front of him!

Zhou Xinyi took out his notebook in a hurry to block the head-on blow, and the "sturdy" notebook of the spirit was really intact, and it was even so hard that the monster paused, which gave Zhou Xinyi a chance to fight back!

Zhou Xinyi's black line restrained the monster's movements, aimed a hammer at the monster's head, and knocked it on!

He watched the monster's movements pause, like a drunken giant, and staggered a few times.

But this only made Zhou Xinyi even more shocked, the monster actually didn't faint!

Now he had to retreat, it was important to find Jiang Yi, but he had to think about his own life first.

He took advantage of the monster's stun to distance himself from it, but his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand!

He looked down sharply and found that behind him, there was the thin woman lying on his stomach!

The woman's eyes rolled like a puppet, and then she smiled maliciously at Zhou Xinyi.

Then, Zhou Xinyi felt as if his legs had been dragged away by a truck with a rope on it.

He lost his center of gravity and was dragged some distance when he suddenly felt his body plummet and fall into a damp, dark hole.

Zhou Xinyi fell not lightly, protecting his head with his arm, and his injured shoulder and back were still bleeding.

He slowed down for a few seconds and pulled out the surviving cell phone lighting.

Although the mobile phone has become a brick, the basic functions such as checking the time and flashlight can still be used.

He looked at the place where he had fallen, and it was a smooth, narrow hole with a hollow around the hole, and no stones to fall on, and it was delusional to climb again.

It should be possible to hold the hole with a black line, but that would require him to climb at least five meters from the hole...... He couldn't.

He used his phone to shine a light into the depths of the cave.

Several interpenetrating holes appeared in front of Zhou Xinyi, and none of them were like the pupils of demons, pitch black.

The woman dragged him down and fled into the cave.

Other words......

Here, is their lair.
