After the people walked away, Tang Xiaotian came to Fu Shaoting and said with a smile: "Shaoting, you don't know how to take it easy when you peek at the little girl."
"If you desert your duty, write me a 5,000-word inspection report when you return." Fu Shaoting said calmly.
"Five thousand words? Are you crazy?" Tang Xiaotian simply couldn't believe his ears. He had written at least a hundred reports over the years, if not a thousand, and had never encountered such a perverted request.
"You must learn to break through yourself." Fu Shaoting ignored his accusation.
"Okay, when I get back I'll tell Old Man Su about you peeping at the little girl from the Su family." Tang Xiaotian admitted defeat, but not completely.
Fu Shaoting glanced at him and said, "I didn't peek."
"I only believe my eyes." Tang Xiaotian curled his lips, not believing his lies.
Fu Shaoting pursed his lips and followed the team silently.
The group moved forward in an orderly manner, and it was unknown how long they had been walking.
"Oh! There's a snake." Liang Huan stepped on something soft and fluffy, and her foot was entangled. She kept shaking her legs to try to throw the snake away, but it only entangled her more tightly.
Tang Xiaotian took action, grabbed the snake's seven legs and pulled it down.
Liang Huan is so unlucky. He brings bad luck upon himself without the intervention of the Plague God.
"Don't be afraid, this snake is not poisonous." Tang Xiaotian threw the snake into the bushes nearby.
Liang Huan looked at Tang Xiaotian with gratitude. It turned out that she had been concentrating on Fu Shaoting. Now she saw that Tang Xiaotian was handsome enough.
Especially since he just saved her again.
"Thank you!"
"You are welcome."
Tang Xiaotian didn't take it to heart. It was only natural for them to help each other on missions together.
"This place is already far from the swamp, why don't we just take a rest!" Chen Hong suggested.
It is very dangerous to walk at night. Fortunately, the snake I just encountered was not poisonous. If it was poisonous, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Just take a rest and take turns to keep watch. If you find anything wrong, leave here immediately." Fu Shaoting ordered.
They found an empty space and lit a bonfire. Liang Huan followed Chen Hong, fearing that they would encounter snakes again.
Yan Zhi quietly followed Su Xiaoluo. Su Xiaoluo glanced at her, drew a circle on her body, and put a layer of milk inside.
"Come here." Su Xiaoluo shouted.
Yan Zhi's face lit up and she sat down. Su Xiaoluo sat cross-legged and began to meditate. Yan Zhi didn't dare to disturb her and curled up into a ball. Perhaps she was too tired and fell asleep quickly.
The others also went to sleep in groups of two or three.
Cheng Fangxin climbed up the tree and found a place to lie down.
He stared at Yan Zhi beside the campfire for a while, then looked up at the sky. The leaves blocked the sky completely, and not a single star could be seen.
Fu Shaoting was on guard at night. He took out a dagger and opened and closed it to pass the time.
In the second half of the night, Tang Xiaotian got up and switched shifts with Fu Shaoting.
The campfire was blown away by the sudden wind.
Fu Shaoting and Tang Xiaotian hurriedly gathered them together with wooden sticks.
Fu Shaoting picked up some firewood from the side, surrounded the campfire, and added some firewood.
"I'm going to take a nap." Fu Shaoting said, "You are not allowed to sleep."
"It's on me." Tang Xiaotian said.
Fu Shaoting found a tree, leaned against it, folded his arms across his chest and closed his eyes.
Tang Xiaotian was full of energy at first, but he didn't know when his eyes started opening and closing uncontrollably.
The mist gradually spread.
"Snake!" Liang Huan shouted loudly, waking up everyone around him.
Su Xiaoluo opened her eyes and saw Liang Huan dancing, but there were no snakes around her as she mentioned.
The others also stood up and waved things in the air, as if they were trying to repel something.
Yan Zhi looked at them in confusion and wanted to go over to help, but Su Xiaoluo grabbed her wrist.
"Don't move!"
Su Xiaoluo snapped his fingers.
After a flash of golden light, the scene in front of Yan Zhi changed instantly.
Countless snakes were crawling on the ground, entwining themselves with each other and spitting their tongues at her.
"Ah!" Yan Zhi took a step back in fear. Su Xiaoluo held her waist and whispered, "Stay in this circle and don't move!"
After Yan Zhi calmed down, she found that these snakes were only moving outside the circle. She couldn't tell the real ones from the fake ones, so she looked around subconsciously: "Cheng Fangxin is here."
"I'm here, I'm fine." Cheng Fangxin was on the tree, and didn't seem to be trapped by this illusion.
Yan Zhi felt relieved, but when she found Su Xiaoluo was about to go outside, she hurriedly grabbed her and said worriedly, "Don't go, it's very dangerous!"
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself." Su Xiaoluo glanced at her and walked out of the circle.
The fog thickened.
The illusion before my eyes was even more complicated.
There are snakes, bugs, rats...
It seems to amplify people's deepest fears.
A deep blood color surrounded Fu Shaoting. Among these people, his inner demon was the biggest and the most feared.
Countless souls surrounded him, and countless hands entangled his body.
"Why didn't you save me?"
"Why don't you take us back?"
"Aren't we brothers?"
"You selfish bastard!"
"We won't let you go!"
…
When Su Xiaoluo was about to take action, Fu Shaoting opened his eyes and said calmly: "Help them to get rid of the illusion first, don't worry about me!"
Su Xiaoluo sat down, clasped his hands together, and muttered something.
After a flash of golden light, the terrifying creatures circling above slowly disappeared.
Liang Huan sat on the bed, unable to suppress her fear any longer, and cried, "I want to go home. I don't want to stay here."
Although Chen Hong had a strong mental state, she couldn't hold it back any longer. She lay on the side and vomited.
Soon, white mist appeared again. Cheng Fangxin shouted from the tree: "Everyone, hurry up and climb up the tree. There is nothing to worry about up there."
After everyone shouted like this, they all climbed up the tree. Only Yan Zhi was still in the circle. Cheng Fangxin shouted anxiously: "Yan Zhi, come up quickly!"
Yan Zhi looked at Su Xiaoluo not far away. She had told herself that as long as she stayed in her circle, it would be fine. So she stayed in her circle and was determined not to cause any more trouble for Su Xiaoluo.
This time the mist was thicker and higher than the last time. People standing on shorter trees were not so lucky. Liang Huan and Chen Hong were engulfed by the mist and fell from the trees.
They ran in pain, as if they were avoiding something.
Yan Zhi looked at them anxiously and shouted loudly: "Quick, come to me!"
Su Xiaoluo was helping Fu Shaoting fight his inner demons and had no time to pay attention to this.
She saw Yan Zhi staying in the circle and didn't pay attention to this place. Who would have thought that Yan Zhi would walk out of the circle the next second.
Chen Hong and Liang Huan both fainted, and Yan Zhi used all her strength to drag them into the circle.
But the circle is so small that there is no room for a third person.
Cheng Fangxin extended his hand to her: "Yan Zhi, come up quickly."
Yan Zhichong reached out to him, but it was too late. She was gradually swallowed by the white mist.
"Cheng Fangxin, please tell my parents to forgive my unfilial behavior. Tell my children that I love them more than anyone else. And, and, forget it..."
