Chapter 8: The Meerkat Spirit Animal

The shadows were astonishingly skilled, and they all climbed down the steep cliff face with determination and slowness. And the descending speed of the black shadow on the rope was obviously much faster than that of the one on the side, and it was already very close to Uncle Yan.

At this time, the king of Hades was still about ten feet above the ground, and I saw him kick the stone wall with both feet, and the person had already shot out. At the same time, he twisted backwards in mid-air and pulled his longbow. The movements are capable and elegant, and Bai Ye can't help but shout in a low voice when he sees it.

Uncle Yan was obviously afraid of being chased by a volley, so he led the arrow to look back.

However, there was no pursuit.

The two figures trailing down the rope did not react at all. After Uncle Hades landed, they also went down to the ground, lying on the ground, using their hands and feet together, and continued to approach them unhurriedly.

Bai Ye's eyes widened, trying to distinguish the dark shadow dozens of steps away.

They resemble humans and apes, with slender forelimbs, thick black fur covering their bodies, and their faces hidden under black fur. At first glance, it seems that there are no facial features at all, and in the hazy night, it is very terrifying.

Uncle Hades jumped back into the line in a few leaps.

"There's too much on it to keep. ”

Uncle Hu's order was decisive: "Retreat." ”

Ba and Yan carried the stretcher, Suo Qi lifted Bai Ye, and walked directly through the frozen Butterfly Spring without looking back. Uncle Beard retreated with his back and broke off alone, and his speed was not slow at all.

Bai Ye's ears were full of wind, and his feet really couldn't touch the ground this time. He turned his head with difficulty to look back a few times, and asked wistfully, "Meerkat Ga?"

"Yes. Uncle Suo didn't look back at all, his face was much worse than when he saw the bibi umbrella before.

Bai Ye was not mistaken. These spirit beasts are the mongoose beasts that almost killed Uncle Beard.

This night was too exciting, and the mysterious spirit beasts from all over the world appeared in front of him one by one.

"Their target, are we or are they plowing?"

The meerkat herd suddenly appeared in the nearby mountains more than a decade ago. It has always been arrogant and domineering, and it is super aggressive. Could it be that the northern plough suddenly and strangely appeared in their territory, and these meerkats felt offended and chased them out desperately?

"Neither. You see, they're all dragged with their mouths. The bulges on the back are hanging cubs. ”

Uncle Suo has been hunting in the deep mountains and old forests of Ul all year round, and he is most familiar with the habits of various spirit beasts. The two of them are used to chatting, and their tones are naturally and peaceful, no different from usual.

Uncle Yan, who was carrying a stretcher behind him, interrupted the two angrily: "Don't be toot, there's no way!"

In front of me, there is a small river.

Uncle Suo suddenly looked happy.

"Stop!" Uncle Beard's short, powerful voice came from behind. The crowd immediately stopped and turned back.

In a short period of time, the group of mongooses was thrown far away. It seems that there is really no malice, otherwise, according to the description in the note, it will not be so easy to get rid of their pursuit.

A few hundred paces away, the herd was still unhurried towards this side, but there seemed to be a slight deviation in the direction.

Uncle Hu caught up and checked the situation on the stretcher.

"Get on board. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Ye felt like a blind fool.

He had never had experience in night walking, and he had never seen the spirit plant planted by his father in the secret passage, nor did he see the frozen spring that was close at hand. Just now, if it weren't for Uncle Beard's voice, he still couldn't see that there was a small river in front of him, and there was a houseboat by the river!

The water surface of this forked river is far from being as wide as the Zhilan River, and their foothold is less than a hundred steps from the opposite bank. The river flowed so silently to the west that it was so close that Kashiraya didn't even notice it.

There is a dilapidated houseboat tethered to the river. Not far from the river, there are fish cages, and dozens of bamboo poles are loosely inserted into the water, only a point. In the dark, I can't really see it anymore.

The two little uncles, Ba and Suo, had already covered the houseboat with their blades. Bai Ye swallowed his saliva, and his heart trembled five or six times in a row.

Their target is people.

There is no way.

He tried to enlighten himself. In the country of Ul, they must not reveal their whereabouts. This has happened before, and it will not be less. Especially now that life and death are at stake......

However, if you just want to hijack the boat, it will be good to knock out the fishermen.

The little uncles quickly turned back. "There was no one on board. Uncle Ba Hong paused, and added with some hesitation, "It looks like the traces left suddenly, it's been a few days." ”

"Let's get on board first. ”

The houseboat creaked to the middle of the river. Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

The meerkat doesn't know how to water, and this small river is a lifesaver. After all, Yi Chi and Bai Ye have to involve too much energy from everyone.

Bai Ye gently held Xiao Yi's hand, and felt a little colder.

only cared about his own life, and forgot for a while that his brother was really at stake. But after running for half the night, the way to detoxify was gone.

The little uncles who kept inputting spiritual power to heal Yi Chi along the way were also at a loss. The people have changed a few times, and everyone is a little tired.

Uncle Beard squeezed into the cramped cabin, carrying a wooden barrel in his hand.

"It's not quite right. He reached out and fished out a few pieces of dried fish food, "At least three days." ”

Bai Ye instantly understood. Judging by the uncles, the plough had just passed by, and the people in the houseboat could not have been hiding from them if they had left three days earlier.

Moreover, the cage has not been destroyed, and the fatty fish inside is definitely a delicacy that cannot be missed for semi-aquatic giants with huge appetites.

So, what happened before, and why did the fishermen leave suddenly?

Suddenly, there was a low curse from outside the cabin. The crowd jerked to their feet. The hull of the ship immediately shook, and it took a lot of effort for Bai Ye to stabilize his figure.

When he got out of the cabin, he was also shocked by the sight in front of him.

The herd had strayed from the boat's position, half a mile downstream to the shore. The river narrowed there, and it was only sixty or seventy paces away from the other side.

Nearly a hundred black spirit beasts sat quietly together, silent. It makes people's scalps tingle.

Uncle Ba Hong didn't look at the group of spirit beasts, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the river in front of the group of beasts.

Huge glowing bone plates silently floated beneath the water's surface. That's the plow! Half a mile away in the water!

A series of low whistles came from nowhere, and the buzzing sound went straight to everyone's ears, and it sounded a little blocked.

The river stirred up layers of water waves, and slowly turned into several huge whirlpools, and it was impossible to see how many special plows were swimming back and forth under the water.

The whistle approached quickly, and in a short time it approached the river. Bai Ye was pressed down on the board by Uncle Beard, he didn't dare to look up, he only tried to look forward against the boat gang.

The whistling sound, which grew deeper and lower, seemed to give some command, and the huge current that had been stirred up in the center of the river gradually became sluggish, and gradually became a little sticky.

After a while, several huge heads suddenly appeared on the outer edge of the tumbling whirlpool, and several white breaths suddenly erupted.

When the white fog lifted, Bai Ye was horrified to find that a row of four whirlpools on the surface of the river had been frozen into huge ice sculptures.

Under their noses, a frozen passage eerily appeared above the river.

The herds of mongoose beasts by the river rose in unison, one after the other, and slowly stepped onto the ice path, staggering to the opposite shore.

One by one, they disappeared into the darkness.
