Chapter Seventy-Three: The Illusion of Confusion
"Yan'er, something is wrong with this forest, don't run around alone. From now on, you have to stay by my side and Ayan, can you do it?"
Mu Yan nodded as if he didn't understand, because he knew Shen Li's temper, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he only quietly came to Shen Yan's side and whispered: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you? What the hell are you really doing?"
Shen Yan angrily stretched out his hand and knocked on her head, "A female ghost who looks exactly like you." ”
"Phew!"
Mu Yan thought that this was Shen Xiaoqiye deliberately teasing her, and immediately rolled her eyes to reveal a fierce look. Shen Yan pursed his lips, and when he saw that Mu Yan was angry, he immediately explained: "I didn't mess with you, what I said is true." Just now, we saw you run into the woods first, and we came in after you. Then I saw you standing in front with your back to us, and when I didn't go into the forest before, the third brother and I both told you not to run around alone, so I wanted to go up and teach you a few words. This hand is just a slap on your shoulder, and guess what?"
"What's wrong?" Mu Yan listened attentively, and saw that Shen Yan's expression didn't look like he was lying to her.
"My hand is right over your shoulder. If the third brother hadn't pulled me back, I might have been taken away by the female ghost right now. ”
Shen Yan seemed a little scared, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Mu Yan's shoulder. made sure that he had photographed her, and finally put his mind at ease. Seeing this, Mu Yan frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly muttered: "Actually, when I entered this forest just now, I really heard someone talking. It came and went, and I couldn't hear it clearly, but it was indeed a woman's voice. ”
"Didn't you? I didn't hear it!"
Although Shen Yan didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he had seen it with his own eyes, and when he heard Mu Yan say this at first glance, he suddenly felt a little creepy. Mu Yan didn't mean to scare him, but she really heard some kind of voice before. It seems that this forest is really as Shen Li said, something is very wrong.
"Third brother, what should we do now?"
First, I don't know the way, and second, I really don't have an idea. Shen Xiaoqi Ye didn't dare to act rashly, and opened his mouth to ask Shen Li. Shen Li raised his eyes and looked around, the unfamiliar environment, completely directionless. He frowned and was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Mu Yan.
"Yan'er, you said you saw something just now, that's why you chased it?"
Mu Yan was suddenly asked like this, blinked blankly, and replied: "I didn't see it clearly, but I saw a white little animal." At first I thought it was a rabbit, but then when it ran away, I saw that it had a tail, and it seemed to have more than one tail. ”
"Wait!What animal has more than one tail?" Shen Qiye's curiosity popped up and instantly grasped the point.
"That's right!" Mu Yan was also stunned, "What animal has more than one tail??"
Shen Li hooked the corners of his lips, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said four words.
"Nine-tailed spirit fox. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yan and Mu Yan were stunned. Shen Qiye, who likes animals very much on weekdays, was surprised: "Third brother, is there really a nine-tailed spirit fox?"
"The world is full of wonders. Shen Li was quite calm and said calmly: "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist." Besides, don't you think this forest is too quiet? Although it is already winter, there is no sound at all in the huge forest, isn't it strange enough? Besides, Seventh Brother, didn't you say that the fox fairy gave you a dream? Since you all believe that there are fox fairies, then the nine-tailed spirit fox naturally also exists. ”
"Well, that's right. ”
Shen Yan touched his chin and instantly felt relieved. And Mu Yan also regained his expression, but he was surprised when he heard the words of the nine-tailed spirit fox. Truth be told, she's legendary enough to be here from the 21st century. So even if you hear something surprising, you don't feel anything.
"I read a book before that had a record of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox. They are not like ordinary animals, psychic, and have some special skills. Seventh brother, you should also know that the royal dragon vein is guarded by the holy beast Qilin, since the ancient divine beasts exist, it is normal for the nine-tailed spirit fox to appear here. Let's leave nothing else at that, Yan'er, where did the nine-tailed spirit fox run just now?"
Mu Yan stretched out his finger and pointed to one side, "There." But after a short chase I couldn't see it, and I didn't know where it had gone. ”
"It doesn't matter, let's just follow that path for the time being. ”
Mu Yan and Shen Yan both obeyed Shen Li, and following what he said, the three of them walked towards the road that Mu Yan pointed to. The road was quiet and quiet, and the atmosphere was weird and a little scary. Several times Shen Yan wanted to say something to ease up, but he was afraid that making a sound would scare some magical species here, so he could only walk forward obediently.
"There are bad guys, there are bad guys!"
Suddenly, Mu Yan heard an inexplicable sound in his ears. She stopped and looked back and forth, but except for the two people beside her, there was not a single figure in the forest.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Shen Li couldn't help but ask with concern. Mu Yan rubbed his ears, shook his head and said it was okay. Just as he was about to move on, the voice like a little girl came into his ears again.
"Those who break into the woods are bad people!
If the sound just now was an illusion, this time Mu Yan heard it really. She frowned and looked at Shen Li and Shen Yan with some panic.
"Did you hear the voice of a little girl? that there are bad people, and those who break into the woods are bad people. ”
Shen Li and Shen Yan glanced at each other, and both shook their heads inexplicably. The road was quiet, they were careful not even to catch their breath, and they didn't hear the slightest sound.
"Didn't you hear that? But, but how did I hear it? It sounded, as if it was not far from us. ”
Sometimes, something special can lead to a wordless fear. It's like everyone sees ghosts, and it's far less scary than just you seeing ghosts. So Mu Yan's mood at this moment was like this, she obviously heard the voice, and she heard it very clearly, but neither Shen Li nor Shen Yan heard it, which made her feel very flustered.
"Wood, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shen Xiaoqi always made the mistake of not looking at the scene, but this time she couldn't relieve Mu Yan's emotions, her face was very bad, and she stood in place and looked around in horror.
Shen Li silently held her hand, and the warm palm covered Mu Yan's cold little hand. Feeling her trembling, although Shen Li didn't understand what was going on, he also gently hugged her into his arms, looking around vigilantly, while patting her back and whispering softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's fine. ”
This move obviously made Mu Yan's mood much better, she slowly relaxed, and persuaded herself to calm down. But at this moment, a voice sounded in my ears again.
"When the bad guys enter the forest, none of them can escape, they can't escape!"
As the voice fell, at the same time, a scream suddenly sounded in the forest. At this moment, Shen Li and Shen Yan all heard it.
