Chapter 204

The island is surrounded by forests. Li Mu walks in the front, Lin Haiyang walks in the back, Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei walk in the middle.

Qiao Sheng curiously asks Lin Haiyang why he suddenly becomes so brave, as he has never seen him walk in the middle before.

Lin Haiyang says with a tearful face that he is a man and must shoulder the responsibility. His expression almost makes the others laugh to death.

The further they go, the more gloomy it becomes. The roar of wild animals can be heard from time to time. The three people in front are very calm, but Lin Haiyang, who is walking in the back, screams from time to time.

"Sister Qiao, you know why I had to call you to the island, right?" Xia Beibei, who was walking in front of Lin Haiyang, was not scared by the wild animals, but by his own people.

After walking for ten minutes, animals started running towards them. At first, they were relatively small rabbits, deer, and roe deer, and then they gradually became more aggressive wild boars and wild bears. The four of them took turns attacking and cleared them out quickly.

The key point was that it was not too strenuous, especially since there were people like Qiao Sheng and Li Mu in the team who had super high attack power and super good weapons. They could take turns to work and have time to recover their physical strength, so everyone had plenty of physical strength.

Because the weather was hot, Qiao Sheng specially asked Lin Haiyang to pack a few refrigerators in his backpack before leaving. At this time, he followed behind and was responsible for packing.

The four of them were still moving very fast. Ah Dai was not very useful in this forest. The forest was too dense and he could not fly. He did fly out of the forest and circled around a few times, but came back with no news. Su, who could run around, went out a few times.

After that, he led everyone to where there were many animals. The beasts that originally only appeared one at a time increased exponentially. It had increased from one to five at the same time. Every time, two people had to attack at the same time to deal with them.

At this time, their physical strength began to drop sharply, so they chose to rest on the ground and then continued on their way. They

did not meet any players along the way. Except for the players who had already escaped, the remaining twenty or so people were still missing and their bodies were not seen.

After walking and stopping in the woods for an entire afternoon, the four of them decided to find a way back to the boat first as the light was getting dimmer and dimmer.

The order was given to Yousu and Ah Dai, and they indeed changed the direction to lead the way, but they walked into the woods until it was completely dark, without any light at all. They raised the lanterns, but still couldn't find the way back.

No one spoke, and everyone stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

"Are you trapped in a wall?" When Lin Haiyang said these three words, his voice trembled.

Xia Beibei turned around and kicked him in the calf, telling him to stop talking nonsense, saying that he couldn't just say anything about supernatural powers.

Qiao Sheng also stared at the trees around for a long time and couldn't help wanting to get closer. Xia Beibei was afraid that she would get into trouble so she reached out and grabbed her wrist, but she patted her with her other hand to comfort her.

Then she walked over to take a closer look. At this time, Li Mu, who had been silent, also walked over. The two of them squatted down and stood up from time to time, picking up leaves and measuring distance from time to time.

The conclusion was that the tree had a formation when it was planted, especially after dark, it was easy for people to get lost here, and they were in this situation now. What was unexpected was that You Su and A'dai couldn't get out either.

No one was familiar with the Qimen Bagua. Li Mu had read books on this part, but he hadn't studied it in depth. He could see that there was a formation, but there was no way to break it.

Qiao Sheng and Li Mu each took a machete and started to cut down nearby trees. Although Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang didn't understand why they did this, they tacitly didn't ask anyone and just walked up to the two of them and started to cut down trees.

Soon, all the trees with a radius of five meters around them were cut down, and Yousu and A'dai tried to explore the way, but still failed. Qiao Sheng thought it through and made a few small wooden stools with wooden boards, and then he and Li Mu put together the wooden boards and prepared to make a bonfire.

"Don't try again?" Xia Beibei picked up a lot of dead branches nearby and asked uncertainly after bringing them back.

"Let's not try. We have cut a circle of ten-meter-diameter open space, but we still can't find the way. It seems that this formation is much larger than we thought." Qiao Sheng was open-minded. He lit a fire and took out food and green bean soup from the ring space. He sat on the small wooden board and began to invite everyone to dinner.

Xia Beibei was originally a person who didn't worry about anything. After hearing her say this, she also started to take snacks out of her wallet.

Only Lin Haiyang didn't eat well for this meal. He was always nervous and afraid that something dangerous would suddenly appear in the dark distance.

After dinner, when several people were discussing the time to take turns to rest, they suddenly heard screams in the distance.

Judging from the sound, they should not be too far away. It was a female, and they were not sure if she was a player. The scream came from far away and then got closer. The four of them did not move, but all looked in the direction where the sound came from.

They originally thought that there was a fire here, and the sound would run to them along the fire, but it did not happen. They sat in front of the campfire and listened to the sound from far away to near, then from near to far, until it disappeared.

This situation made the four of them confused. They could not figure out the situation. How could someone see the fire and run farther and farther?

But it was impossible for them to chase. If they wanted to use up their energy and walk a little longer, they would not choose to stay and set up camp.

Since no one came, they were not prepared to take the risk to investigate further. They just stood there silently. Later, the same screams were heard twice, from men and women. The strangest thing was that no one approached their open space, and they didn't know what was going on with these people.

"What is this? 360° surround? Show us screaming?" Xia Beibei held a snack in her left hand and a glass bottle of iced green bean soup in her right hand, eating the dessert after dinner bite by bite.

"Do you think they are hallucinating and can't see the light here? Otherwise, how could a normal person shout all the way here, go around and shout all the way away?" Lin Haiyang was talking about the male voice just now.

He started shouting from the left, and it felt like he was right in front of them. Then he performed a circle around the stage and ran away from the left. At that time, the four of them looked at each other in confusion, wondering what was going on.

Fortunately, three of the four were brave. Lin Haiyang was not very brave, but he knew that his teammates were reliable. There was a bonfire in front of him and teammates around him. He also used mung bean cakes to attract Yousu and A'dai to eat behind him. Instantly, they felt safe and were not afraid of the many strange noises in the forest.

The four of them were divided into two groups. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu slept in the first half of the night, and Lin Haiyang and Xia Beibei took over in the second half of the night. Yousu and A'dai were also divided into two groups to take turns to rest.

Although they said they slept well, in fact, none of the four people slept well. From time to time, someone passed by and screamed. Fortunately, these people were brave enough to turn over and continue sleeping after hearing the sound.

Lin Haiyang was timid but he had good sleep quality. As long as he fell asleep, he could not hear thunder, so the screams had no effect on him at all.

The bonfire was extinguished in the morning. There were willow branches and tooth powder in Qiao Sheng's ring space. The four of them rinsed their mouths but did not wash their faces. They had a simple breakfast and continued on their way.

This time they did not need to find the direction of the boat. They planned to look for those who screamed in the middle of the night to see if they were players or NPCs.

They walked for a whole morning, and the four of them did not see a single person except animals. Obviously, so many people with different voices passed by them last night.

"It's strange, did these people disappear at dawn? Why can't I see any of them?" Xia Beibei frowned and looked around.

"If I remember correctly, it seems that the first scream started at night, and there has been no scream after dawn." Qiao Sheng tried to recall and said uncertainly.

Li Mu said that she remembered correctly that the screams only appeared at night and never again, so it was possible that they had not seen anyone in the morning, and that they might have run away.

"Could it be some strange species?" Xia Beibei opened her mind and felt that everything was possible.

In order to prevent themselves from not being able to return to the boat again after dark today, the four decided to have lunch in the woods and then return to see if they could find the way back in the afternoon.
