Only the sound of heavy breathing approached them, and someone's body was violently knocked down, and the tremendous force fell on the body like a stone.

"Spread out!" Xia Ming shouted loudly in the darkness, the rain almost enveloping his voice.

There was a bright light flashing in front of him, it was the cold glow of the hunting knife, Mu Siyu didn't think much about it, drew his knife and slashed.

The thunderbolt glided by, and the robed hunter in front of him disappeared from sight like ink.

Bite~

She was always one step slower, the man's knife was already faster than hers, and she fell out of balance.

"Chasing ......"

Mu Siyu listened to what he was saying with difficulty.

"Chasing ...... Hunting"

The phrase echoed through the storm.

Mu Siyu couldn't help but shudder, and this rough and difficult voice seemed to be filled with resentment. She tried to get up from where she had fallen, and a short black figure stood in front of her, condescending, to officially pronounce her death.

Her pupils constricted slightly, and she still felt a hint of fear when she died.

Is it painful!

"Chasing... Hunt... Hunt... Hunt... Kill..."

Like a spell of death, silently echoing in the night rain. The resentment and hatred contained in the incantation, as if they should have been judged by death.

The night lit up, and the bright stars bloomed in front of her in a disorderly and brilliant manner.

"Hey, what a daze, run!" Xia Ming said.

Mu Shiyu's head suddenly came to his senses.

"Who are you?" Xia Ming asked vigilantly.

The blazing flare hit him as if it were hitting the bark of a tree, the fireworks only scorched a few brown hairs, and he himself didn't make much movement, and the rain rolled down from the tip of the knife on the horizontal blade. But he may just be a child, Xia Ming has never seen such a short hunter, he is only half as tall as him.

"Run!"

Xia Ming's body was pulled out by a huge force.

"Why are you asking so much!" Mu Shiyu dragged him, pinning the hook to a branch before the fire faded, and the mandrel pulled them into the distance.

“——”

It was pitch black.

Xia Ming asked, "How do you stop?"

"As soon as I let go, you will definitely suffer first!" Mu Shiyu said coldly.

Xia Ming trembled, as if there were walls crashing into him in all directions.

He laughed, "I thought you all had three eyes!"

Flares weave from tree to tree, like matches lit on a cold winter night.

Defenseless, his body slammed into the wet dead leaves, rolling several times before stopping.

"Hey, you don't know how to be polite!" Xia Ming immediately sought justice for himself.

Mu Siyu crouched on the huge tree root like a cat, and she slowly stood up and patted the hard bark of the ancient giant tree in front of her. "If you have an opinion, I can throw it again!"

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you know who that person is?"

Xia Ming shouted to her, and he glanced back slightly, not knowing if he would catch up.

"I don't know. She jumped down from the tree, her voice a little tired.

"Then let's get out of here and tell the others as soon as possible. ”

"Why don't you speak?"

"Shut up!" she shouted. "If I can go, why am I still here!"

Xia Ming closed his mouth.

No one could see each other in the dark, and the rain poured down quietly.

"Why don't you speak?"

“......”

"If I can speak, why don't I speak?"

"Did you hear anything?"

"Yes. ”

"What do you hear?"

"Listen, it's a monsoon rain!"

The scabbard struck him directly, and poor Xia Ming lay down in the soaked dead leaves again.

"Did you hear what he was saying?"

"You mean the unidentified hunter? maybe, but I didn't hear that. Xia Ming listened to her tone very seriously, and answered her question seriously, and the light at that time was only enough for him to vaguely distinguish the location.

"Is he amazing? I think he's just a kid!"

"I don't know. Her voice was low, apparently guessing as well. Some people, even when they are older, are about the same height as children.

"Please, can we leave first!" Xia Ming hurriedly suggested.

"The disk is gone. She said. "Also, there are rules here. ”

"What are the rules? Can't you leave until you finish your mission?" Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xia Ming said in his heart, and what he said earlier would not follow.

"Nope. Rules are order! There's something special here, called order. It's just because it sounds hard to understand, so it's called 'rules.'"

She suddenly became patient.

"The rules are. The longer it stays in the Ancient Forest, the longer its path will become, and this rule will return to normal at dawn the next day;

The second rule: in the ancient forest, the latter will never catch up with the former, unless the former stops by himself;

The third rule: the further the ancient forest goes, the longer its path will be, wide in the middle and narrow in the periphery, and this rule cannot be changed.

It has a lot of rules, but that's all I know.

It's wicked, isn't it? This kind of rule can't even be explained by the great scholars of the royal palace. ”

Xia Ming nodded, and some of the questions that had puzzled him for many days were immediately resolved. For example, on the day of the zipper, everyone couldn't catch up with him, and he never caught up with the person who "escaped";

That's right, the land of the ancient forest is not very flat. Without direction, maybe they will go around in a large circle, and people with a poor sense of direction will be terrible.

"So what about now?"

"Don't make a noise, do you know if the man is coming?"

After a long time, there was only the sound of rain all around, no wheezing of monsters, no human footsteps, in fact, they couldn't even hear each other's heartbeats, as if there was nothingness all around, only each standing alone under the cold rain.

The rain was even colder, Xia Ming only heard the sound of his teeth chattering, and finally couldn't hold it back and sneezed heavily.

"I said, please, is anyone there?"

"Nope. ”

A voice came coldly from beside him.

Flames flickered in the wick, and the light suddenly filled the room and every corner.

There's an old story about light being the only thing that fills the world because it's easiest to share, and in a broken world, where white candles burn black flames, and darkness is the only thing that fills the world, and light sharing is built on the deprived darkness, and it fills the world with illusions.

"How can there be such a place?" Xia Ming asked.

"This is their observation post. There are a lot of them, you know they often have to do some experiments here, and they can stay here when they can't get out!"

"Digging a hole in a tree? It's cruel. Xia Ming said, in fact, he wanted to know how to do it, but when he asked, it seemed that he was too uninformed.

Mu Siyu ignored him and kicked open the lid of a wooden box, and the low room suddenly shone with scales, a box of blades.

When I opened the other lid, I was greeted by a smell of sulfur, a musket, and a small box of gunpowder that looked to have been damp.

Mu Siyu continued to look there, and Xia Ming didn't know what she was doing.

"Found it!"

Mu Siyu actually came back with a pigeon, like a magician playing a trick.

"I recommend roasting! Is there a bigger pot here? You can stew, although there are fewer ingredients......"

"Get out!"

Mu Shiyu glared at him and sat down at the table. She took out her charcoal pen and wrote on the paper: "Ancient Forest, Forming Wolves, Mysterious Hunters, Ten Squads, Scattered"

She rolled the paper into small rolls and stuffed them into the letter box tied to the pigeon's feet, but suddenly, maybe because she used too much force, or maybe the thing had been left for a long time and aging, the pigeon's claws were broken! Xia Ming saw that the material was actually wood! How to stew and roast this?

"Teacher Diana's puppet pet?"

"Flying puppets, disguised as birds, not necessarily pigeons. But they are not easy to be targeted by monsters, and they fly fast, so they don't need to stop to replenish consumption on the way. ”

"I'm going to pass on the story of the mysterious hunter back, maybe he's a hunter on a secret mission," she said. ”

"What is a stalker? How do you know so much!"

"Similar to an executor, the ability is not the same. Instead of answering the next question, she asked, "How do you know what's going on?"

"I ......" he hesitated, his mind moved slightly, and his voice turned mysterious, "The sense of smell, the sense of smell of an excellent hunter." I can detect them when they get close. ”

"You're afraid you have a dog's nose and a sense of smell!" she scoffed at Xia Ming's explanation.

Xia Ming was a little deflated, she shouldn't have asked him curiously, what was the sense of smell, then he could pretend to be as cool as Felin.

The flames burned quietly, Xia Ming stared at the thin black tail, and said in a low voice: "The reason why I became a hunter that day is because I saw that it was growing teeth, that is, it was recovering, and something was repairing its body. I think a lot of people don't know about the situation, so I think I should kill it sooner rather than later. Didn't run away in the first place, because ...... Forgot. ”

Mu Shiyu didn't laugh at him, "So, it's dead, but it's resurrected!"

Xia Ming nodded. "I'm afraid so! Is there any medicine that can regenerate tissues?"

"Yes!" Mu Shiyu immediately affirmed.

To be done
