Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Monster Forest
In front of Wuqi's eyes was a forest completely shrouded in gray-white mist, and the mist that permeated it was ridiculously thick, covering a large part of the forest completely. Standing outside the forest, Wuqi could only see three or four meters away. The whole forest gives people a hazy and hazy fairyland. However, due to the dark color of the fog, it is like a cloudy cloud, which makes people feel eerie from time to time, and they dare not approach.
Of course, Wuqi also felt this eerie feeling coming from the depths of the forest shrouded in gray mist, and his hairs stood up involuntarily at this time, but he finally gritted his teeth and walked forward boldly.
"What's there to be afraid of! Isn't it just living in here for a year? I can definitely do it. Along the way, Wuqi kept saying some self-comforting words, and the effect was surprisingly good, which made his somewhat uneasy heart gradually calm down. But when Wuqi finally found that he no longer had to rely on constant self-comfort to drive away the fear in his body, he found that he was lost. He looked around, and there was nothing but the gray mist of the trees.
Oh no, I seem to be lost.
This terrible thought suddenly rose in Wuqi's heart, but he quickly breathed a sigh of relief, because he immediately took out a compass from the space bracelet, but when he saw that the hand of the compass was not pointing to the south, but like a second hand that had moved dozens of times faster, constantly rotating clockwise, he was a little scared.
The mood suddenly became nervous, but the sky was getting darker and darker, but he hadn't found a place to stay, and Wuqi's heart was like being pressed by a boulder, which made him a little breathless. He vigilantly broke off a branch more than one meter long from the big tree on the side, carefully put the branch in front of him like a sapper probing a mine, and swayed back and forth step by step towards the front. I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, and the light around him became weaker and weaker, and when Wuqi's naked eyes could no longer see the stones on the ground and the scenery in front of him, he stopped with some worry.
He happened to be tired of walking at this time, so he didn't say a word, casually leaned on a big tree beside him, sat down on the ground tired, and the branches were thrown aside by him, and slowly closed his eyes and took a nap.
I've been walking for so long, and I haven't heard any sound, so it should be safe here for the time being, and there won't be any magical beasts passing by.
Wuqi thought about it, and he fell asleep involuntarily because of the fatigue of the journey, but at this time, he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears. "Squeak!" The voice was high-pitched, thin, and sounded like a mouse's voice. A mouse, what's the big deal? Wuqi didn't care, and continued to nap.
But the voice sounded again, "Squeak!" This time it was a little closer and louder than the previous one, but Wuqi still didn't care, and continued to nap, he was too tired. His own physique is poor, his physical strength is far inferior to ordinary people, and he has not had any rest halfway from the front of Wushan Mountain, and his body has already shown signs of detachment. Now that he finally had a chance to rest, he didn't even bother to pay attention to the slightest noise.
But not long after Wuqi took a nap, the sound of "squeak" suddenly changed subtly, and the "squeak" sound that was originally only a 5-second interval actually became a 3-second interval, and the "squeak" sound was no longer one, but became two. Wuqi's ears can hear a "squeak" every 3 seconds, which is made by two mice, overlapping hissing, the sound from far and near, getting louder and louder, he just from the situation that the scream is getting clearer and clearer, he can judge that the distance between the two mice and himself is slowly shortening, but can only two mice help him?
Hmph, two first-level rat monsters also want to sneak up on me. It's a dream. Watch me slap you to death with the nameless scroll.
Wu Qi, who was slightly closing his eyes and napping, inadvertently sneered at the corners of his mouth, although he knew that his strength was far inferior to ordinary people, but there was still no problem in dealing with two tiny first-class rat monsters. He didn't plan to make any preparations before the appearance of the rat demonic beast, because this kind of first-level demonic beast was enough to kill ordinary people, although it was also enough. But Wu Qi has the Nameless Scroll in his hand, although he is napping at this time, but in fact, his ears have been listening carefully to the sound that is getting closer and closer to him, as long as these two rat monsters dare to appear in his field of vision, he has time to take out the Nameless Scroll from his arms and fear them to death one by one. Because his master Worthen once told him that among the first-level demonic beasts, the worst attack and defense power are the rat demonic beasts, they attack humans, and they will never bite the target within one or two bites, so Wuqi has time to fight back, and he does not have any panic, but calmly waits for the appearance of these two rat demonic beasts. ,
But when Wuqi took another nap, his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his brows suddenly furrowed, and a thick look of confusion suddenly appeared in his eyes, muttering to himself: "Why are there so many voices? At the same time, the "squeaks" that were originally just two overlapping together gradually became clearer, and the sound was getting closer and closer to the position of Wuqi, but the overlapping "squeaks" slowly became chaotic, the sound was different from each other, and the squeaks separated from the inside became more and more.
Just for a moment, a word suddenly appeared in Wuqi's mind that made him panic: rat swarm. Yes, as soon as this thought took shape in his mind, Wuqi immediately shuddered, jumped up from the ground, and he looked around with all his strength, and simply lay on the ground and put his ear to the ground. When he heard this, he couldn't help but panic even more in his heart, and hundreds of squeaks surged from all directions like a tide towards his position.
"Oh no! this is actually a rat's nest!!" Wuqi suddenly understood what was going on, he couldn't help but gasp, and then hurriedly ran in one direction. But at this time, the sky was dark, and he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, before the sun went down, because of the gray fog, he could only see the scene three or four meters away, and now it was night, let alone three or four meters away, and he couldn't see the scenery even one meter away.
The world in front of him was completely like an endless abyss, Wu Qi's frightened heart beat like numbness, he hurriedly took out the lighting equipment from the space bracelet, but was depressed to find that this equipment that could be illuminated at a distance of ten meters outside the forest could only emit a faint light, as if it was forcibly suppressed by an invisible pressure.
"What to do! If this continues, I'll die. The rats are getting closer and closer to me. Why have I been running for so long, and I still haven't escaped from them? The longer Wuqi ran away from his original position, the more depressed his mood became, and fear was like a yin fire that suddenly burned in his heart, burning bigger and bigger, and burning more and more. With Wuqi's mood as the origin, it spread rapidly to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye, destroying Wuqi's heart unscrupulously, and it didn't take long for this 9-year-old child's psychological endurance to completely collapse.
After running forward a few steps, his legs went limp, and he accidentally fell to the ground. Wuqi didn't have time to do any protective measures, so he leaned forward violently, slammed his forehead to the ground, and fell into a complete. Because the hand was subconsciously blocked in front of the chest, several deep wounds were grinded, and the blood couldn't stop flowing out. Wuqi's nose was also hit suddenly, and tears and snot suddenly gushed out, converging together, looking extremely embarrassed.
But before he could cry out from the sudden pain in his body, he was awakened by the squeak of a drum in his ears, and he jumped up from the ground again. Regardless of the dirt and snot on his face, he looked left and right in a panic. Half an hour later, just as he was about to sit still, he saw a large tree a meter in front of him. In just an instant, Wuqi suddenly noticed that one of the branches on the big tree had been suddenly broken, and only after a slight hesitation, he immediately remembered that he had also happened to break a branch during the day. He subconsciously glanced at the broken part of the branch, and at this glance, Wuqi's mood couldn't help but be very good, and his face was suddenly full of surprised smiles, and he grinned: "Heaven will not kill me!"
As soon as the words fell, Wuqi immediately quickly circled around the big tree, and he found the easiest place to climb and climbed up without hesitation. It was too late, it was fast, and just when Wuqi's feet were about a meter or so off the ground, thousands of first-level rat demonic beasts suddenly rushed from all directions from his original location. One by one, they bared their teeth, and after several circles around the tree, they reluctantly stopped, raised their heads and squeaked at Wuqi.
Although Wuqi couldn't see the expressions of these rat monsters clearly at all, from their squeaky sounds, he could clearly feel a strong anger and unwillingness. It seemed that they were very angry that they had not been able to kill Wuqi, and it was not until Wuqi climbed to the top of this unknown tree at the cost of physical exhaustion that he let out a sigh of relief, and his body collapsed on the top of the tree, falling asleep.
