Chapter 245: Cries for help in the mountains
Huang Jiu's words have a certain truth, nature is very magical, and there must be natural enemies if there exists.
As we further into the mountains, we might come across some strange creatures.
When people are highly concentrated, they can't even think of being afraid.
Now that I'm relaxed, I'm scared.
That thing can kill the Earth Dog Star without a trace, and I'm afraid it's also a matter of being able to capture us.
Of course, we are different from the Earth Dog Star, the Earth Dog Star is the soul, we are flesh and blood, they have been following until the end before sneaking attack, it is likely that they will not be able to kill us with one hit.
But I have escaped death, and I dare not search for the truth anymore.
He Xiaolong's blood was boiling, and I stared at him, and found that at the position of his neck, the skin was covered with a layer of blue-blue scales.
As his breathing smoothed, the scales vanished.
Just as I was staring at He Xiaolong, my eyes suddenly flashed, and the white owl suddenly landed on the branch in front of me.
The first glance at its bright eyes frightened me into the air, and I almost fell off the tree.
Fortunately, at the last moment, I inserted a bloody thorn into the trunk of the tree to stabilize myself and not fall.
The white owl was not afraid of me, and cooed twice, and the eyes seemed to be laughing at me.
Seeing this, He Xiaolong and Huang Jiu couldn't help me if they wanted to, but they couldn't breathe.
The white owl stared at me for a moment, then brushed its feathers with its beak.
Seeing that he had no ill will, I hurried up to the branch and lay down at a distance from it.
After combing his feathers for a while, the white owl seemed to be full of food, and its eyes gradually narrowed, and it purred like a cat.
Only then did I dare to whisper to He Xiaolong: "This is your person?" ”
He Xiaolong said: "I was about to ask you, is it something that you carry with 100,000 mountains." ”
I frowned slightly, could it be that Xiao Cui attracted a white owl to my jade pendant?
I didn't answer He Xiaolong, but asked, "Is there a connection between the 100,000 Great Mountains and Shennongjia?" ”
He Xiaolong said: "Your wife is the owner of the mountain, if she carries 100,000 mountain things, the demon in Shennongjia will also give some face." ”
In this way, it should be a jade pendant.
I didn't talk, and He Xiaolong didn't continue to ask.
I saw the white owl's eyes bright, and I guessed that it understood me, and was about to ask.
As a result, the owl's squinting eyes suddenly opened, and it flew away without warning.
I was a little disappointed to see it fly away.
After all, there are some things that can't be answered, and it's really uncomfortable, as if I want to know what is in the grass, and I want to sacrifice He Xiaolong.
However, the origin of the white owl is unknown, and it is better to fly away, otherwise I probably won't be able to close my eyes this night.
When I quieted down, I realized that the mountains were really weird.
In the huge mountains, except for the sound of the wind, there is not the slightest sound of birds and animals.
I couldn't help asking: "In Shennongjia, has it always been so weirdly quiet?" ”
He Xiaolong said a little tiredly: "I can't remember clearly, but I feel that it has always been like this, and it has always been in danger." ”
Thinking of what happened to him, I was curious, and I couldn't continue to ask.
He Xiaolong said: "You keep vigil tonight, I'll sleep for a while." ”
He drove for two days in a row, and today is the third day without rest.
I took off my backpack, took some dry food out, and threw a piece of chocolate to Huang Jiu.
He took it and said, "If you want to rest, take a break, I'll just watch." ”
Animals have a unique perception, just now on the grass, Huang Jiu should not have seen it, but found the movement traces of that thing through perception.
I ate a bite to eat and leaned against the trunk of the tree to squint for a moment.
However, just as he was a little sleepy, a woman's voice calling for help came from the depths of the jungle.
He Xiaolong also woke up, the two of them held their breath and listened carefully, there was indeed a woman shouting for help.
He Xiaolong and I glanced at each other, and both of us lost their minds.
Huang Jiudao: "Deep in the mountains and old forests, the fox spirit is afraid that there are a few, this kind of thing is definitely extinct, unless she runs to our ears and calls, don't care." ”
Once animals have acquired a certain level of intelligence, it is not uncommon for them to imitate human voices.
But when I heard that voice, it didn't feel like a goblin, but a real person.
It's a pity that the dog star hasn't recovered yet, otherwise he can be allowed to go over and take a look.
He Xiaolong listened to Huang Jiu's words and closed his eyes again.
Seeing that I was still hesitating, Huang Jiu warned me: "Don't think that you have taken the peach blossom luck, there are women sticking to you everywhere." ”
"Do you know why Tang Seng was always captured by goblins?"
I didn't bother to bother, but I was a little curious about the last question, so I didn't know.
Huang Jiudao: "Tang Seng was captured by the goblins, and as soon as he heard someone shouting for help, he went to join in the fun." ”
It seems to be a bit crooked.
We all paid no more attention, and the woman's voice grew weaker and weaker.
But at this moment, He Xiaolong suddenly sat up from the branch and said, "Go over and take a look, I feel like a human." ”
Huang Jiudao: "What nerves do you have?" It's so weird in this mountain, even if it's a person, it's already dead, and it won't be alive at all. ”
In the face of the same kind of call for help, He Xiaolong and I should have the same thoughts in our hearts, not so hard-hearted.
Huang Jiu could ignore it indifferently, and that was because he wasn't human.
It's like letting a person who can't swim take the risk of saving a small animal, then he will never go into the water, at most he will sigh regretfully after watching the small animal being washed away by the water.
But if we don't dare to go into the water, our instinct will drive us to find a way to save people.
Of course, I don't want to blame Huang Jiu for thinking so.
It's nature, after all.
He Xiaolong was already preparing to get off the tree, and I was a little hesitant and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
He Xiaolong said: "I'm not sure, but animals imitate human voices and have very few emotions. ”
He said the same thing I had thought before, that the sound was very human.
I ignored Huang Jiu, put on my backpack and got down from the tree, Huang Jiu said on the tree: "I can say okay, don't cry and shout for Jiu Ye to save you." ”
I said, "Don't chatter, I will go over with He Xiaolong, and if you stay behind, you won't be served by someone if you really have something." ”
The cries for help had become quiet, but they were still recognizable.
He Xiaolong and I were about five meters apart, and quietly touched it.
As the sound got closer, the smell of blood filled the air.
I hurriedly closed the air holes on my body to prevent my breath from leaking out.
The same is true for He Xiaolong.
Emerging from the grove, the scene in front of me made me gasp.
In the clearing ahead, there were three torn tents, surrounded by blood, shredded clothes and broken limbs.
Not far away, five silver-white wolves were surrounding a narrow hole, their eyes wandering viciously.
The sound of a cry for help came from the cave.
