Chapter 1381 The Midnight Scream
"Brother Owl, I'll come back to see you."
After saying goodbye to Xuan Ye, the group returned to the off-road vehicle.
On the way, Mu Yunxi basically carried Wang Wanzhi. It's strange to say that Wang Wanzhi has always been generous in front of me, but I don't know why, every time she was held by Mu Yunxi, her face would turn red, especially when Mu Yunxi put her down, her face would be as red as a ripe peach, and her legs would be soft.
"What did you do to Wang Wanzhi?" I couldn't help asking.
"What do you care?" Mu Yunxi rolled his eyes at me, and then got on the first car where Wang Wanzhi was. When closing the door, he said to me: "You go and squeeze with that stupid dog."
After that, he closed the door with a "bang".
"Hey, I just seemed to see..." Xiao Qi rode on my neck, his legs spread out on my left and right chest, and said mysteriously.
"What did you see?" I asked.
"I saw... Sister Mu Yunxi's hand, reaching in... Oh, oh, I won't say it, it's a bit eye-catching."
Xiao Qi covered his eyes with his hands, while Lai Fu on the side grinned with a wicked smile.
"Could it be... these two people are..." I suppressed the urge to ask, coughed dryly, and returned to the off-road vehicle.
For the next few hours, the off-road vehicle was driving on the bumpy loess road. At this time, I finally understood why the Wang family had all these off-road vehicles that were neither comfortable nor good-looking. Because here, there is no road at all, and only this kind of off-road vehicle with strong off-road performance can be driven here.
Three hundred kilometers, if it is a highway, it can be reached in three hours, and if it is faster, it will be reached in more than two hours.
But we drove until nightfall and only went more than 100 kilometers. The first car also had some problems because the water temperature was too high, which led to a long repair.
"I think we should fly directly over." Mu Yunxi suggested as everyone sat around the fire.
I touched the crispy crust and tender filling, and then handed it to Xiao Qi, saying, "Flying over is the last resort. Now, we are still about 200 kilometers away from our destination. If we fly at high speed, we can reach the destination in an hour, but our bodies can't handle it, so we must conserve our energy."
In fact, if I activate the speed symbol, it will only take a few minutes to get there, but my physical strength is not enough to support me to activate the speed symbol.
"This broken road, at the current speed, it will take at least the day after tomorrow to get there. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. As for whether you and she are in a hurry, it's none of my business." After Mu Yunxi finished speaking, he swept away and sat on a hill in the distance, holding a wine gourd in his hand, drinking alone under the moon.
"Brother Qianyu, my brother's life lamp is still stable. He should be safe now. We don't need to worry." Wang Wanzhi saw my worry and spoke immediately.
"Yeah." I nodded, then looked at the life lamp beside me, and saw that the flame was still tilting to the west. Compared with before, the tilt angle was obviously larger, which shows that our previous guess was correct.
"Brother Qianyu, you said... where did those people who suddenly appeared come from?" Wang Wanzhi suddenly looked at me and asked in confusion: "Why do those mountain spirits and wild monsters say that these people have no human smell? Could it be... they are not human? What would they be?"
I shook my head: "We will know when we get there. Let's rest early after eating."
After I finished speaking, I returned to the off-road vehicle, followed by Xiaoqi and Laifu, and then took a nap in the car.
"I'm afraid our gasoline won't be enough to support our return trip." The driver said to me in a low voice after checking the gasoline in the trunk.
"I know." After I said that, I ignored it, curled up, and gradually fell asleep.
With Mu Yunxi on guard, I didn't worry about safety at all. I slept very soundly this time.
After a day of bumpy ride, even I felt a little tired. Xiao Qi, who was used to the wild, was already tired. Even Lai Fu felt a little tired. There was
no conversation that night.
The next day, when the sun had just risen, everyone woke up one after another. After a simple meal, they continued on their way.
As we went deeper and deeper into the uninhabited area, the road became more and more difficult to walk. At night, we had only walked less than a hundred kilometers.
"It's still about a hundred kilometers to the destination. The current gasoline is enough to support the return trip. My suggestion is that you find a way to get there by yourselves. I and another driver will drive the car back and bring more gasoline to pick you up."
The driver said.
This driver is also a member of the Wang family, but not from the main family, but from the clan.
He has a scar on his face, and his face looks very fierce. He is quite skilled and is a half-step master.
"Okay, we will go on our own for the rest of the journey." I nodded and gathered everyone together.
"There is not enough gasoline. We have to go on our own for the rest of the journey, so my suggestion is to set off overnight. Before reaching the destination, we will make a correction for one day and then enter the old forest." As
soon as I said this, everyone nodded.
"Well, let's go." After I finished speaking, I took a deep breath, and then my figure flashed, like a ghost in the night, flapping my dark golden wings, and quickly flew away.
As for Mu Yunxi, he smiled and hugged the shy Wang Wanzhi, and then quickly chased after me.
The speed of the group was very fast. It took us only one hour to reach the 100-kilometer journey.
From a long distance, we saw a dense primitive forest appearing in front of us. This primitive forest appeared very abruptly, and it suddenly appeared on the bare loess high slope. Even from a long distance, I could actually feel a strong smell of corpses.
"Such a strong smell of corpses!" I frowned, thinking that the corpse field must be under this primitive old forest.
No wonder this old forest is becoming more and more lush. Below it are piles of countless corpses. With these corpses as nutrients, it is difficult for trees not to grow lush.
However, there is one thing that is very strange. Generally, where there are corpses, the corpses and evil spirits will cause the surrounding vegetation to die, but this phenomenon did not occur here. Instead, it is lush and green. Obviously, this old forest is not as simple as it looks on the surface.
"Everyone take a night's rest. Don't get close to the old forest tonight. Stay away from it as much as possible."
I rubbed my aching neck and sat on the ground with a tired
look on my face. Not only me, but even Wang Wanzhi, who was carried by Mu Yunxi all the way, looked tired. On the contrary, Mu Yunxi was still smiling.
Although we only flew for an hour, my body felt more tired than sitting in a car for a whole day. Not long after sitting down, I fell into a deep sleep.
Silence!
The nights in the northwest are very strange. There is still wind and sand in the sky during the day, but at night, the wind and sand will stop unknowingly, and the whole world will fall into a dead silence!
However, this silence did not last long. Just when I was sleeping soundly, a painful scream suddenly came from the old forest, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night.
