Chapter 324: Lifting the Veil
The next day. "Suspicious, where is the captain?" Wuqi, who was the first to wake up, had just woken up from his dream, he subconsciously glanced around, and after finding that Balke, who was in charge of the vigil, was not there, he subconsciously asked.
"Brother, he ......" At this time, Julia, who was woken up by Wuqi's voice, suddenly got up slowly, and then quickly looked around, and found that Balk was really not there, she immediately subconsciously spread out her own breath, trying to find it, but after a while, Julia's beautiful face suddenly showed a look of surprise, even very frightened, and said softly.
But before she could finish her words, she was awakened from the aftermath, and Nakolulu, who also felt strange, grabbed the conversation and said, "What's the matter?
After speaking, Nakolulu saw that no one answered, so she turned her head to look at Wuqi again, and said seriously, "Wuqi." Don't tell me the captain is gone. It's not funny at all. I don't like to hear it. ”
"Lulu. I'm not kidding. Balk's breath was literally gone. Don't believe that you can feel your breath out of it. A helpless look suddenly flashed on Wuqi's face, and after he frowned, he immediately replied with a solemn expression.
"Rod. What about you?" Nakolulu did not follow Wuqi's instructions, but turned her head to look directly at Rhodes and asked subconsciously.
Rod didn't speak, just nodded silently. His action is extremely ordinary, but in the eyes of Nakolulu and Julia, two girls who seem to be strong but are still fragile inside, it means a lot.
In their opinion, Rod's nod seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, it was as if the sky had suddenly collapsed, and almost in an instant, the spiritual pillar in their hearts was completely crushed.
After two seconds of silence, an exclamation representing the fear in the hearts of the two of them suddenly spat out from the two soft jade lips, "How is it possible!?" Julia and Nakorulu said in unison.
At the same time, the blood on their faces disappeared almost in a moment, replaced by a ruddy color that represented health, but a white color that represented infinite shock and fear. Even the words they said just now were the same as their mood at the moment, full of powerlessness.
"Let's not rush today. This jungle is too weird, so let's be careful. Lulu, and Julia, you don't have to be afraid. Tonight, Rod and I don't rest, let's keep vigil. I'm going to see what makes so many people disappear all of a sudden!"
Seeing that the eyes of the two girls were becoming more and more pitiful, the heroism in Wuqi's heart surged up again, and his eyes suddenly became extremely firm. Rod immediately nodded in agreement, his eyes drooped, and seeing that the two girls were indeed frightened, a faint sense of concern flashed on his face, and he said softly: "Don't worry." ”
There were only three short words, but Nacollulu, who was even more frightened than Julia, suddenly felt like a thick fog that had been gathering for a long time but was accumulating more and more after Rod's rare words of concern, and most of the fear immediately dissipated. There are still remnants, but they are much lighter than before.
Late night soon came again, and in order to make the spirit of tonight better, Wu strangely took turns resting with Rhodes during the day, and because Nakolulu and Julia would not be afraid during the day, so almost late at night, the two of them huddled together under the protection of a bonfire and fell asleep.
Looking at Nakolulu and Julia, who were huddled in the same sleeping bag, Wuqi and Rod looked at each other and nodded. At this time, Wu Qicai's eyes suddenly asked solemnly, "Old De." What the hell do you think you're going to encounter tonight?"
Rod was not in a hurry to answer, and after being silent for more than a minute, he said thoughtfully: "There may be a situation that we never expected. ”
"Yes. Wuqi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Otherwise, even Balk wouldn't have disappeared last night." This jungle is getting weirder and weirder for me. Tonight, we should be cautious, no matter how sleepy we are, we can't rest, we must stay up until dawn. ”
"Yes. Rod nodded in agreement, and then the two of them were like two patrolmen, once they felt sleepiness hit and their eyelids showed signs of drooping, they got up and walked around, waiting for the sleepiness to gradually dissipate from their bodies, and then sat down again. ,
Time quickly passed in this boring round-the-tour. In the blink of an eye, it was dawn, and they didn't sleep all night, when they saw the first rays of sunlight slanting down from the gaps in the leaves overhead, and falling on the faces of the two peerless beautiful girls, Nakolulu and Julia, Wuqi and Rod secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they found a big tree to lean their bodies casually, and fell asleep in just a moment.
At this time, the night had passed, and under the sunlight, the light in the place where the four people were resting was very messy, but it was very bright and not gray at all.
Before Wuqi and Rhodes closed their eyes, they carefully observed the surroundings again, and made sure that the night had passed, it was early in the morning, and there was nothing abnormal around.
When the two of them opened their eyes again, it was already ten o'clock at noon, and the sun above their heads was no longer just warm, but even began to make people feel hot, and the bodies of both Wuqi and Rod were faintly hot. Wuqi and Rod woke up almost at the same time, getting up at the same time, looking up at the same time and being dazzled by the harsh sunlight.
Then, after they looked at each other almost at the same time, they saw the discomfort in each other's eyes, so they smiled at each other, and turned their heads at the same time, looking at the place where Nakorulu and Julia were resting. At this moment, their bodies are almost as hot as their coats and hair because they have been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are very hot.
But the hearts of the two of them felt very warm because of this hot heat, although the temperature was indeed a little high, compared with the cold wind that kept howling last night, the two obviously preferred the somewhat exaggerated sunshine that made them hot. However, when Wuqi and Rod set their eyes on the place where Nakolulu and Julia were resting at the same time, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, the two looked at each other again. But this time, they didn't look at each other and smile, but saw the shock and the pale and bloodless faces in each other's eyes at the same time, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and suddenly turned their heads again to look at the bonfire that was no one at the moment, and immediately couldn't say a word in shock.
The warm feeling was almost gone at this moment, although the body, coat and hair were still faintly hot, but the hearts of Wuqi and Rhodes at this moment seemed to be completely blown away by the howling cold wind last night, and they shivered in unison. Wuqi even got nervous, and directly inhaled the snot that had already flowed to his chin at once.
"How...... How could it be !!? Julia!Nakolulu! It was already early in the morning when we were resting. How...... That's right. Their breath!" After a full five seconds of silence, Wuqi suddenly came back to his senses from the shock that almost suffocated him on the spot, and said intermittently.
But he had just finished speaking, and was about to diffuse his breath to explore the surroundings, but he saw Rod slowly shake his head and said in a low voice, "Don't try." I checked, and no. ”
Wuqi's body shook suddenly, although he had already guessed this result after discovering that Julia and Nakorulu had disappeared at the same time, but he still didn't want to believe it, and deceived himself into thinking that they might just leave for a while.
But Rod's words were like a bolt from the blue, almost in an instant, very suddenly and extremely cruelly to completely expose this lie that even Wuqi himself didn't believe in.
A rare look of unbearability gradually flashed in Rod's eyes, and after he glanced at Wuqi again, he didn't say another word, shook his head silently, turned around, and walked away. Wuqi needs to be alone now and sort out his thoughts. Rod thought so in his heart.
Wuqi looked at Rod's back in a daze, wanting to say something, but he just opened his mouth stupidly and couldn't say a word. He really didn't know what to say now, and he didn't know what else he could say now. Julia and Nakolulu were resting by the campfire in front of them not long ago, when it was already dark, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye?
If there is a sneak attack by a demonic beast, even if the speed is incredibly fast, how can it not even have a trace of a fight?
With the passage of time, Wuqi's heart finally calmed down, he slowly began to think, thinking deeply, and his face slowly appeared thoughtful, and while thinking about it, he said to himself: "The bonfire is still a bonfire, and the branches and grass next to the bonfire are almost exactly the same as last night, except for the position of the bonfire has moved a little, there has been no change around it at all." ,
Why did it disappear so completely? There was no trace left? Even if it was...... Wait a minute. ”
Thinking of this, a thought vaguely flashed through Wuqi's heart, as if he had suddenly caught a clue that was missing, and immediately began to continuously scrutinize and confirm the fleeting thoughts in his mind, while repeating like a repeater:
"Except that the location of the campfire has moved a bit. The location of the campfire has shifted somewhat. The location of the campfire has moved! For what? For nothing, nothing else has changed, but the location of the campfire has changed? I remember Nakolulu and Julia's sleeping bags were hanging from the two big trees last night. ”
As he spoke, Wu Qi slowly walked to the big tree in his impression with a puzzled face, and carefully observed the location of the sleeping bag last night in his memory, almost just for a moment, and the puzzled look on his face changed to a look of sudden realization.
When he suddenly found that there was no strangulation on the branches of the two big trees beside him because of the sleeping bag, the hypothesis that had been in his mind but could not be believed was finally completely confirmed at this moment.
After suddenly realizing it, Wuqi's face once again showed an unimaginable shock, but after a while, he was like a puzzle solver who had finally solved a mystery that puzzled countless people after countless failed deliberations, and let out a cry excitedly, and then turned his head sharply and said to Rod in surprise: "Old De!
When he remembered his words, the surprise on his face suddenly became thicker, and the corners of Wuqi's mouth even lifted slightly at this moment, revealing a faint smile. Because he suddenly noticed that a black shadow like lightning flashed above Lao De's head.
However, when he realized that the speed of the black shadow was almost unimaginable, and he couldn't see what it was, a smile almost just appeared on his face, and the smile couldn't help but freeze in the next moment, and then Wuqi's face was immediately replaced by a shock that could not be concealed.
It wasn't over yet, the shock appeared, then vanished in an instant, and finally turned into a tension and worry that completely filled his eyes.
The expression changed three times, and finally all turned into a sentence of Wuqi concern, but at the same time extremely nervous, worried words, only to hear Wuqi suddenly shouted anxiously: "Old De!
As soon as these words came out, Rod's body, which was still walking slowly, suddenly stopped, he almost didn't even look at it, and directly at the moment when Wuqi's words sounded, his figure flickered, and he turned into an afterimage and quickly flashed away.
It wasn't until a second later, when he saw that a black shadow that was suddenly fast and did not bring a trace of wind at all flashed where he was standing just now, and his face appeared with a solemn expression almost instantly. At the same time, Rhodes didn't dare to be careless, and immediately took out the long sword from the space bracelet and entered the state of wind element awakening.
However, his hair had just flashed a faint green light, and before he had completely transformed, his eyes were stunned, and he looked at a black shadow that was larger than his body for an unknown number of circles, as if his speed had suddenly soared countless times, and he directly caught up with him at the moment of his transformation.
At the same time, under the rush of black shadows, Rod's world was suddenly completely enveloped by a darkness that could not be reached, and the flowers and trees in front of him, and even the air, seemed to be engulfed by darkness at this moment.
After engulfing Rod, the black shadow flashed, and it was about to flee, the speed was also incredible, but at this moment, a white light was like lightning that had been brewing in the thunderclouds for too long, and it caught up with the black shadow from behind Rod at the moment when the black shadow engulfed Rod, and, just as the black shadow was about to escape, it hit it fiercely.
The powerful impact of the Nameless Scroll immediately knocked the black shadow upside down and flew more than thirty meters, until the huge black shadow knocked down a big tree, and after a crisp "click" sound with the broken trunk of the tree, it fell heavily to the ground, stopped, and then there was no more movement.
The next moment, the black shadow finally showed its true original form, even if Wuqi had already been mentally prepared, he had already confirmed his guess in his heart, but when he saw the true face of the black shadow, and at the same time successfully pulled Rhodes, who had just been unconscious, out of the black shadow, he still couldn't help but gasp.
It turned out to be a huge, ink-black flower.
It's just that on top of the petals, there are rows of teeth that seem to be jagged. If it was said that this was a demonic beast and the breath of a demonic beast, then Wuqi would not be shocked by this, but when he carefully investigated it with his breath and confirmed that the flower head that fell to the ground did not have any breath of life, his big heart still couldn't help but skip a beat.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this kind of thing really existed in this worldly realm. It's actually a cannibal flower that doesn't have any consciousness and relies entirely on the plant's nervous system to attack.
This plant doesn't have any breath at all, and even the wind won't even appear when it attacks so fast, it's incredible!" It wasn't until half a minute later that Wuqi completely calmed down the horror in his heart, and he muttered while marveling at the wonder of nature while being in awe of its horror.
