Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Strange Shadow
In the depths of the hinterland of the Meteorite Valley, the mountains and valleys stretch deep and wide, the mountains are undulating, the towering giant trees grow luxuriantly, and the branches of the tips cover the sky and the sun, because the sun's rays are difficult to penetrate the tips and shine on the earth, making the high-altitude dense forest very dark.
In the heart of the mountains. In the dense forest, the team headed towards the direction where the Meteorite Cliff was located, and went at full speed.
As the team hurried, time passed gradually, and soon two hours passed quietly.
At the same time, as time passed, as the team gradually moved away from the location of the secluded valley, everyone slowly went deep into the hinterland mountains of the Meteoric Valley.
As the crowd progressed, the relatively quiet atmosphere around them gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an environment that slowly became uneasy.
Under the dense forest and sea, in the increasingly desolate and lonely ancient forest, the roar of warblers and beasts is endless, and the traces of hunting and predatory monsters are gradually revealed frequently.
At a certain moment, Ye Yi suddenly raised his eyes and reminded Ye Wang and Ye Ping beside him, "Be careful, there is danger, we are going to be attacked by demon beasts." ”
Before the words fell, Ye Yi had already put away his laziness and stood up straight, and even his expression quickly became serious. Under his spiritual root induction, in the dense forest in front of him, there were dozens of oncoming air currents that were changing drastically.
It seems that behind the dense forest ahead, there is a group of demon beasts of unknown origin that is attacking at a very rapid speed towards the location where their team is located!
"Pretend!"
However, for Ye Yi's kind reminder, Ye Wang and Ye Ping were full of sarcasm.
Along the way, the two of them worked with Ye Yi to guard the rear of the team, although they didn't expect Ye Yi to play any role in helping to guard, but the two of them had long been ashamed of Ye Yi's dereliction of duty as a defender but being lazy and lazy.
And in the eyes of the two of them, Ye Yi not only completely confirmed his identity as a family waste, but also despised Ye Yi, a family scum who did not do business, thousands of times.
It's really a flower in a greenhouse, unexposed to the sun and rain, and I don't know how sinister it is!
On weekdays, I stay in the safe environment under the protection of the family, and it's just a matter of messing with flowers and grass, but now I walk in the wild, and I don't realize it when I am in the dangerous place where monsters are infested and impermanent. Lazy and careless all the way, without the heart of embankment vigilance, I am afraid that I will be eaten by lurking demon beasts!
However, this guy is just lazy and careless, and he still dares to speak nonsense, disturb the morale of the army, and say that the demon beast is about to attack the team.
After speaking nonsense, he pretended to be on guard, deliberately showing a look of full vigilance.
Did he really think that the surrounding wind and waves were calm before, and now the warblers and beasts around him were in danger?
It is really a childish and ridiculous waste to rely only on the silence of the surrounding environment to discern the crisis!
Between Ye Wang's thoughts, they couldn't help but secretly shake their heads, they really didn't know how this unfashionable waste survived to this day in this dangerous Meteorite Valley?
Looking at Ye Yi's pretended expression, Ye Wang and the two became more and more disdainful, even if they really thought that danger was coming, it would be good for you to take out a weapon to defend yourself!
With his bare hands, plus a sentence of the attack of the demon beast, he pretended to put on a serious appearance, did he think that if he was like this, others would change their opinion that he was stupid?
At the back of the team, in the increasingly disdainful gaze of Ye Wang and Ye Ping, Ye Yi finally spoke again.
"It's coming!"
Hearing this, Ye Wang and Ye Ping finally couldn't stand Ye Yi's self-righteous appearance anymore, and the two of them suddenly sneered, "Ye Yi, haven't you ever walked in the wild?
When the words fell, the two turned their heads to face Ye Yi directly, as if once Ye Yi opened his mouth to refute, they would "reprimand" Ye Yi!
Although they weren't prepared to offend Ye Yi, they didn't want to see Ye Yi being self-righteous and casually commanding and interfering with others!
"Stop! Danger is coming, everyone is on alert. ”
It's just that before Ye Yi could answer, Lu Qi, who was leading the way in front, gave an order to stop moving forward with a serious face.
At the same time, Lu Liuyun, who was holding a sword in his hand, although he did not speak, quietly pulled out the long sword in his hand and stood on guard.
Seeing Lu Qi, Lu Liuyun and the others on guard in place, Ye Wang and Ye Ping instantly became suspicious, could it be that the crisis has really come as the waste young master next to him said?
It's just that Ye Wang and the others just flashed this thought in their hearts, and their eyes shrank suddenly, and their expressions were gloomy, as if something unbelievable had appeared in their eyes!
......
Under the dense ancient forest, the light is dim and difficult to see, and the surrounding shadows are abundant, and the entire lush ancient forest is completely shrouded in a gloomy environment.
Although the ancient forest is dark, it does not give people a sense of horror, and it is a hurried journey, calm and calm, Ye Yi and the others have already adapted to it.
However, at this moment, in the light that occasionally penetrates the dense forest and sprinkles the earth, dozens of strange black shadows suddenly appear. The black shadow is terrifying, vicious, like a humanoid monster, constantly shuttling along the trunk of a tree under the dark dense forest, and the ghosts float between them, reaching the place where the team is!
Despite the distance between the two sides, and the scarcity of light that pierced through the tips and sprinkled on the earth, and even the dim light beneath the dense ancient forest, the people in the distant guarded team could still observe the terrifying humanoid black shadow rapidly approaching where they were in the shadowy dark environment.
In the ancient forest, with the approach of the strange humanoid black shadow, in an instant, the beast roared and the warbler cried, the ghost cried and the wolf howled, and the sound of the howl of all kinds of fierce beasts and monsters and birds was endless, and slowly spread. All of a sudden, the mountain wind was howling, the strange sound was roaring, and the terrifying aura spread out, and under the gloomy dense forest, the wind and rain were coming!
Under the gloomy dense forest, although as early as after Lu Qi gave the order to stop marching, everyone in the team was on strict alert in the midst of the defense that was waiting for them.
But at this moment, after feeling the terrifying atmosphere around them, especially after discovering the ghostly and humanoid black shadow approaching, everyone in the team suddenly felt numb. Not only Ye Wang and Ye Ping, but also the other four yellow-robed Lu Mansion guards who accompanied them, their faces were full of horror and trembling in fear.
It seemed that he had seen the strangeness of what was happening in front of him for the first time in his life, so that for a while, everyone was afraid and timid.
In the crowd, Ye Wang and Ye Ping looked frightened, and they seemed to have long forgotten their previous idea of trying to "ridicule and educate" Ye Yi, but Ye Wang and Ye Ping were at a loss, and they actually began to mumble to themselves, "This, what the hell is this......?"
Mutter!
As if his throat was knotted, Ye Ping spoke intermittently, and even under his expression of fear, he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, and then he and Ye Wang slowly turned around, as if once their body and mind couldn't hold on, they would desperately flee from here!
In the team, it seemed that he felt the timidity emanating from everyone's expressions, and Ye Yi, who was originally secretly observing the changes in the surrounding wind, suddenly shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid, the black shadows coming in front are not some demons and monsters, they are just a group of monsters, just shadows left by a group of monsters running high in the treetops." ”
Hearing Ye Yi's words, Lu Qi and Lu Liuyun, who had always struggled to figure out the strange black shadow, finally understood, and after Lu Liuyun took a deep breath, he echoed, "The strange screams coming from all around are also deliberately created by the demon beasts behind the shadow hidden, don't be deceived." ”
Seeing Lu Liuyun's voice to stabilize the army's heart, Lu Qi directly said with a final word, "The Ye family's land Meteorite Valley is an important training place in Muhua County, and there have never been any demons and monsters, although the humanoid black shadow and strange sound coming in front of you are terrifying, there must be monsters behind the scenes, you must not be deceived and mess with yourself!"
It turns out that there are monsters doing evil!
When these words fell, everyone in the team immediately scolded in a low voice. And the morale of the team, which was gradually turbulent because of fear, slowly stabilized between the scolding of everyone.
Although the black shadow of the humanoid figure approaching in front of them was still eerie, and the ghosts and wolves howling around them were extremely terrifying, they were finally not particularly afraid, as long as it was not an ethereal demon or any kind of monster, it was not enough to make them afraid.
After all, the Ye family's land in the Meteorite Wind Valley, the highest level of the demon beasts that infested it was only the third order, once they surpassed the fourth order, they would be driven and hunted by the Ye family's strong people, how could they still kill the experienced people? Therefore, the demon beasts hidden behind them may be extremely powerful, but it is not enough for them to escape!
Besides, there are many dangers in going to the Falling Wind Cliff, and all kinds of second- and third-order demon beasts lurk in it, even if there are third-order demon beasts blocking the way, they will not retreat lightly, not to mention a group of demon beasts who hide behind and make ghosts, and dare not show up to see each other?
Hearing the low scolding in everyone's ears, Ye Ping, who had been muttering to himself because of timidity in his heart, couldn't help but look embarrassed, and as for Ye Wang, who was standing beside him, he looked at Ye Yi with humiliation.
It seemed that he couldn't figure out how he could find out about the attack of the demon beast before they did, even though he was just a waste man who was not in the climate, and how did he first judge that there was a monster at work after the strange black shadow and the terrifying scream were the first to be detected by the fear on everyone's faces?
It must have been good luck!
Recalling Ye Yi's previous appearance of lazy eyes, casual steps, and even loud voices, Ye Wang couldn't help but feel a strong sense of self-esteem in his heart. Ye Yineng was the first to discover the attack of the demon beast, and it was definitely just luck.
As for the first to judge that the strange black shadows and strange noises were caused by monsters, how could a waste like him who did not become a climate have the ability to distinguish crises? It must be that his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, has never seen the world, and does not know the dangers of walking in the wild, so he will simply attribute this series of strange things to monsters.
"Young Man Ye Yi, do you know what kind of monster beast is hiding in the treetops?"
On the ground, between everyone's vigilance, looking at the strange humanoid black shadow that was getting closer and closer, Lu Liuyun stood on top of a rock, and after telling everyone to be on guard again, thinking of Ye Yi's previous words to break through the illusion, his eyes swept the treetops in front of him, and he opened his mouth and said in doubt.
Hearing this, everyone around them was on guard, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Ye Yi, not only Lu Qi and the other four young guards in yellow clothes, but also Ye Wang and Ye Ping.
Although their cultivation is not weak, and they even know the habits of many demon beasts well, they can't figure out how to think about the strange things that are happening in front of them, let alone judge the type of monster beast that is hiding behind them. As for Ye Wang and Ye Ping, they want to see how Ye Yi, a waste that is not a climate, will explain!
It's supposed to be that kind of monster!
Hearing Lu Liuyun's inquiry, a term quietly appeared in Ye Yi's mind, but I don't know what came to mind, Ye Yi didn't say what was in his heart, just shook his head, "I don't know what kind of demon beast is doing it, but I think the demon beast will appear and attack soon, so it's better for everyone to be careful." ”
Seeing that Ye Yi didn't know what kind of demon beast was doing evil, although the people on guard in place didn't think that Ye Yi's knowledge of walking in the wild was higher than theirs, but for the words in Ye Yi's mouth, although they didn't shake the military heart again for this, they still couldn't help but regret it slightly. The strange things that happened in front of him were really weird, and even the disciples of the Ye family, who were born in a thousand-year-old family, couldn't make a judgment.
Although there was a slight regret in their hearts, everyone still did not relax their vigilance at all, and now the black shadow was getting closer and closer, and it was only a matter of time before the demon beast appeared to fight!
