Chapter 274: Going Deep into the Lost Forest and Encountering Corpses
"Dude, why are you hiding here and sleeping?"
The young guard crouched down and patted his legs on the ground gently.
"Brother, brother?"
Seeing that the other party did not react, a trace of uneasiness passed through the young man's heart. He wanted to see inside the crevices of the rock, but the darkness of the night, without a glimmer of light, made him stop.
Helpless, he could only grab his legs on the ground and pull back hard.
"Dude, how the fuck did you get in?"
"Whew!"
"Poof!"
The young guard suddenly fell to the ground on his back, he touched his buttocks, and grinned in pain. But he quickly reacted, and at the same time as he dragged the "old brother" out, a hot and humid gas blew in his face, and there was a fishy smell.
The young man quickly drew his knife and protected it in front of him.
"Brother, where are you?"
He spotted "Brother's" legs again in the moonlight, but this time he didn't dare to take another step forward.
There was nothing to be found on the ground except for the legs, and the ground was covered in blood, and the older guards were all gone. The flesh and blood of the fracture are blurred, and in some places you can even see the white bones of Sensen.
The young man's back was cold, and a cold sweat broke out. Looking at the broken part of his wound, it was obvious that it had been desperately bitten by some animal.
The young man did not dare to delay any longer, so he put away his scimitar and turned to run.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
The young man had just exhausted himself and was about to escape, but he never thought that he had hit his head against a "wall". This blow obviously hit him hard, and I saw the young man sitting on the ground and rubbing his head constantly.
Although it was not light, his head was not stupid. The pile of rocks just now was at least ten paces away from him, how could he suddenly appear behind him now?
The young man drew his cutlass again, and he looked at the pitch-black rock in front of him. Suddenly, what seemed to weigh 10,000 pounds of rock began to move.
The young man retreated a dozen steps in fright, until he tripped over the stumps again.
He watched in horror as a dark shadow overhead was slowly swooping down.
Getting closer......
"Ah......h
"Whew!"
The screaming stopped abruptly!
The young man's cry seemed to be a ghost in the night, and people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Come back quickly, everyone!" Xu He hurriedly gathered the people around him when he heard the screams.
A moment later, seven guards arrived from all directions. They seemed to go out separately to look for it, but in fact they didn't go too far. This maze looks very strange even in the blue sky and white day, let alone the dark night. So, these people are just symbolically "looking" around.
"Look who's missing?" asked Xu He.
"Little Liuzi, Little Liuzi didn't come back!"
"Little Liuzi?" Xu He muttered softly in his mouth. This name is not unfamiliar to him, it should be the young man who is on duty tonight.
"Don't wait for him! go back, don't sleep tonight, cheer me up. ”
"Yes!"
Xu He looked at the depths of the forest, and the guards behind him had already left one after another. They were still talking and laughing, as if they had forgotten all about the scream just now. But Xu He was always uneasy, and he kept stroking a long scar on his left arm.
"Hope it's not it!"
Next.
Rays of early morning sunlight slowly sprinkled on the ground through the gaps between the branches. The birds began to sing happily, and the fog seemed to have lightened considerably.
After a night of tossing, the guards all looked exhausted. Despite this, Xu He still didn't let their guard down.
They gathered in twos and threes to nibble on dry food. Beside each of them was a cutlass that had long been unsheathed.
Zhong Ruida, Tu Fangfang, as well as Li Maocai and Li Zhuang, the four of them are also tidying up their clothes and weapons, ready to set off at any time.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen?" Xu He called softly as he stood by the door of the humble tent.
"Is there anything wrong with Uncle Xu?"
Xu He glanced at the two people lying inside and said, "You really don't want to go with us today?"
Shen Linfeng pointed at Xiao Ying and Wen Jing and said, "The two of them have been unconscious, and I can't abandon them." So, I'm afraid I can't go with you. ”
Xu He nodded understandingly, originally he didn't expect to be able to convince Shen Linfeng.
"We'll take a short break and we'll go, and I'll leave marks along the way. If they wake up, follow the signs along the road to us. ”
"I see!"
"Then take care!"
"Well, take care!"
Chenshi.
The sun is shining brighter and the breeze is blowing.
The white fog has basically disappeared completely, due to Shen Linfeng's temporary lag. This group of people who entered the maze forest were temporarily led by Zhong Ruida, and Xu He still led the way for them.
"Brother, what happened last night?" Zhong Ruida waved his dagger to cut off the dead vines in front of him, and poked his mouth at Xu He beside him.
"Two of our guards on night duty have been attacked!"
"Oh?" Zhong Ruida raised his eyebrows.
"Who did it?"
Xu He looked at Zhong Ruida, who had a serious face, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid, it's not human!"
"It's not human, that's ......."
"Hey, you're coming!" shouted one of the guards at the back.
Zhong Ruida and Xu He hurriedly walked over.
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle Xu, look!" As he spoke, the guard handed the things in his hand to Xu He.
It's a shoe!
"It's like your shoes!" said Zhong Ruida.
"Quick, quick, look around!"
Xu He gave an order, and the guards all began to search among the withered vines around them.
"Uncle Xu, there's a discovery here!"
Xu He hurried over, and the withered vines under his feet almost tripped him, but he didn't care. Because, he wanted to test his thoughts.
This time the guards found a pile of liquid, and Xu He squatted on the ground and dipped it with his fingers and twisted it gently. The liquid is thick and viscous, with a slight fishy smell.
"What the fuck is this?" Zhong Ruida seemed to feel a little disgusted.
As for Tu Fangfang, after she glanced at it, she walked away.
"Ahh
Before Xu He could answer Zhong Ruida's words, there was another scream from the dead vines not far away.
Xu He didn't think about it and quickly ran over.
By the time he arrived, several of the young guards were already retching on the ground. Behind them was a mutilated corpse, the internal organs of its chest had been largely hollowed out, and several ribs were strangely exposed. And one of his legs is missing.
Blood was all around the corpse, some of which had dried up and turned a dark red.
