This dead silent forest was completely different from the noisy forest that made people’s heads hurt just now.
After a while, someone asked nervously, "Is it too quiet?"
It was so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the rustling of leaves.
Now the players who hadn't noticed it also understood and their faces changed.
Ye Ye frowned and said, "Let's go."
Teacher Fang was the first to stand up. He lowered his voice and said to everyone, "Let's go first. We will be able to leave here soon. Just hold on a little longer."
Not long after, a deep blue lake as smooth as a mirror appeared in front of us.
Wen Qing glanced at the lake twice. He remembered that after passing the lake, the map of the Monkey House would end after a while.
Teacher Fang strode to the lake and said happily, "We are almost at the exit."
"At our current speed, we'll be able to leave here in about half an hour."
Wen nodded gently.
Suddenly, a short scream sounded behind me: "Ah!"
Wen Qing turned around and saw a short-haired girl behind him with a pale face. She stammered, "I, I seemed to see something just now, but it passed by quickly."
Teacher Fang, who was standing in front of everyone, looked very unhappy and quickly ran to the middle of the players: "Where is it?"
The short-haired girl whispered, "Behind us, and now she's gone again."
"Are you seeing things?" Teacher Fang paused, then said to the girl, "Maybe it's just a monkey."
"Let's go quickly."
Everyone quickened their pace and walked forward.
Wen Qing and Li Ran were walking at the end. Li Ran was panting and his face was blue. He opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something, but because he was too tired, he had to close his mouth again to conserve his energy and could only wave his hand reluctantly.
Wen Qing looked back from time to time, but saw nothing except the tree.
But this eerie silence always makes people feel weird.
He turned his head and bumped into a hard chest.
Wen Qing bumped into him hard, his nose felt sore, and his eyes turned red instantly.
He looked up with tearful eyes and vaguely saw Ye Ye's face.
"Is there something wrong?" Wen Qing asked dissatisfiedly, lowering his head and rubbing his eyes.
He felt that there would be no good news if he found this person, and he might say some nonsense again.
But in Ye Ye's opinion, Wen Qing's eyes were misty and her voice had a hint of crying.
He paused, and the scolding on his lips disappeared.
Ye Ye turned his face away and muttered in a low voice: "What's there to cry about?"
He's not vicious.
Wen Qing pursed her lips: "I didn't cry."
This is all caused by you!
Ye Ye looked at his red eyes and said, "You are so stubborn."
Wen Qing: “…”
Wen Qing didn't want to explain anything to him, so she pursed her lips and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Ye Ye said, "I told you to keep up. Don't fall behind."
Wen Qing: "...I didn't fall behind."
He just walked at the end with Li Ran.
Hearing this, Ye Ye raised his eyebrows. He turned sideways and let Wen Qing look at the other players.
Wen Qing raised his eyes and saw that the players who were originally one or two meters away from him were now more than ten meters away from them.
Only Li Ran was left squatting beside them, resting and listening to their conversation.
Ye Ye's sneer rang in my ears: "Well, you didn't fall behind."
Wen Qing gritted his teeth: "It's all because you talked to me!"
His voice rose slightly, and his sticky nasal tone sounded even heavier.
Ye Ye frowned slightly and pouted: "Okay, it's all my fault."
Wen Qing: “…”
He glanced at Ye Ye and walked forward.
Li Ran quickly stood up and asked in a hoarse voice: "Have you finished talking?"
Wen Qing pursed her lips: "We didn't chat."
Ye Ye: "Tsk."
Wen Qing's eyes twitched and he thought, what's wrong with this guy? He obviously doesn't like him, but he still insists on coming up to talk to him.
Li Ran regained some strength from his burning gossip heart, walked beside Wen Qing, and asked curiously: "Does that handsome guy like you?"
Wen Qing was silent for a moment: "Does he like scolding me? Or does he like being scolded by me?"
Li Ran looked at his expression and realized that he had asked the wrong question. He said hurriedly, "I'm sorry. I just felt that he seemed to care about you."
Li Ran looked back and saw Ye Ye walking behind them. He lowered his voice and said to Wen Qing, "He was walking in front just now. He looked back and came to talk to you."
Wen Qing paused and caught a glimpse of Ye Ye's figure behind him. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, it seemed a little strange.
Could he be Bai Tong’s friend?
Walking to the edge of the lake, Wen Qing couldn't help but tilt his head to look around.
The water of the lake is clear, but because the lake is very deep, you can't see the bottom, only darkness.
Li Ran took two steps and accidentally kicked a small stone into the lake. The mirror-like surface of the lake began to ripple and sparkle.
Faintly, Wen Qing seemed to see a black shadow passing by under the water, and then it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wen Qing wondered if he was dazzled.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind me, as if some animal was running away.
"What's that sound?" Someone stopped and looked back.
The next second, the roar of a wild beast resounded through the sky.
"roar!!!"
“Old, Tiger, ahhh—” a player screamed, turned around and ran.
The others didn't even dare to turn their heads and ran forward in a hurry, and the neat team dispersed like birds and beasts.
Wen Qing had no time to think about why there was a tiger in the monkey house and just kept running.
There were bushes on both sides of the path in the woods. Suddenly, Li Ran let out a cry, his body tilted, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell straight to the slope under the bushes.
Wen Qing subconsciously reached out to grab her, but missed.
Fortunately, the slope was not high. Li Ran rolled twice and sat on the ground safely.
"Roar!!!" The tiger's roar echoed through the sky and gradually approached.
Wen Qing just raised his foot, and the next second, his body was in the air, picked up by someone and jumped down the slope.
"roar!!!!"
Wen Qing was so frightened that his body trembled and he pinched his palms nervously.
He couldn't help but breathe rapidly. There was an indescribable stench in the air.
Wen Qing's face turned pale.
The next second, his mouth was covered.
Wen Qing tilted his head and saw Ye Ye's face.
Ye Ye stood behind him, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.
He mouthed silently: [Don't make any sound.]
It can't smell us.
Li Ran was standing by, and seeing this, he also raised his hand and covered his mouth.
Soon, Wen Qing heard the sound of animals breathing, very close to them, still in their ears.
Wen Qing's eyelids twitched and he clenched his teeth nervously.
Ye Ye's palm brushed over Wen Qing's gentle breath, which was moist, warm, and slightly itchy. He couldn't help but look down at Wen Qing.
Half of Wen Qing's face was covered by him, leaving only his beautiful eyes and eyebrows exposed. He lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled like a small fly.
After realizing what he was doing, Ye Ye pursed his lips and quickly looked away.
“Crack—”
Wen Qing heard the sound of branches being stepped on and broken overhead.
His eyelids twitched and he pinched his palms tightly.
One second, two seconds... one minute later, a roar was heard again, and it sounded some distance away from them.
Wen Qing instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Ye's palms felt itchy, so he quickly let go of his hands and wiped them on his trouser legs.
Wen Qing didn't notice his movements and turned around and said, "Thank you."
Ye Ye's eyes involuntarily fell on his opening and closing lips.
Wen Qing saw him staring at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Ye's expression changed: "Who is looking at you!"
Wen Qing: “???”
Li Ran looked at Wen Qing, then at Ye Ye who looked unnatural, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Well... let's go first."
Wen Qing nodded and walked over to help Li Ran up.
Li Ran patted his butt and stood up, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but retching: "What the hell is this smell?"
Ye Ye looked around and finally his eyes fell on a small cave in front.
The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the cave.
The cave was not very high, so Wen Qing and Li Ran could move through it unhindered. Ye Ye almost hit his head and could only barely stand up.
As soon as I entered, a strong stench hit me in the face.
Wen Qing immediately covered his mouth and nose.
Perhaps it was because of the stench that the tiger couldn't smell them just now.
After walking two steps inside, Wen Qing saw the source of the smell.
A pile of bird and insect corpses half a person's height was stacked up layer by layer. The bottom pile was about one meter long. Each layer became smaller from bottom to top, with a total of five layers.
Each layer is piled with densely packed bird corpses, the mouths and feet of various insects, transparent wings, etc., as well as some red, green and yellow jelly-like objects, brown and black tree barks, etc.
Wen Qing resisted the urge to vomit, and now he knew why there were no birds on this road.
Almost half of the birds in the forest must have been caught here.
Ye Ye took a step forward, stood in front of the pile of corpses, and looked down at them.
Round, layer upon layer.
Ye Ye frowned: "This thing looks familiar."
Wen Qing stared at it for a while and made out the appearance of a pile of corpses.
He was a little bit unbelievable: "This, this looks like a cake."
Ye Ye lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to pick up a piece, stared at it for a moment, and whispered: "Flower, bark, pulp..."
“These are all food for golden monkeys.”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a slight noise at the door.
The little golden monkey in clothes stood at the entrance of the cave at some point. It held a small flower in its hand, with an expressionless, gloomy blue-white face as it stared at Ye Ye, who was closest to the cake pile of corpses.
Ye Ye's eyes skipped over the little golden monkey and looked outside the cave.
There are no other animals.
Ye Ye moved his fingertips slightly and slowly pulled out a small knife.
Wen Qing's eyelids jumped, and he quickly stopped him and said in a low voice: "Tourist rules."
Be sure to interact with the animals in a friendly manner.
He tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but because the cave was narrow, the four words seemed to be magnified several times.
The little golden monkey's gaze instantly shifted from Ye Ye to Wen Qing.
Its dark eyes stared at Wen Qing, and an irritated look gradually emerged on its expressionless furry face.
It paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave, making squeaking monkey sounds from its mouth.
Ye Ye's face darkened as he said to the little golden monkey, "Get out of the way."
The little golden monkey stopped, opened its mouth, and let out a sharp and piercing cry.
Wen Qing saw it frequently looking at the pile of cake corpses behind them, so he moved sideways so that the little golden monkey could see the whole cake.
He said tentatively, "I-we didn't touch anything."
Hearing this, the little golden monkey opened its mouth, revealing a row of fangs.
The four sharp teeth on the upper and lower parts and the scarlet mouth are completely different from its cute appearance.
Wen Qing said nervously: "No, if you don't believe it, you can see it for yourself."
"We really didn't touch anything and accidentally went the wrong way."
The little golden monkey stared at him for a while, then slowly took a step forward.
It looked at the pile of corpses and cakes, and the next second it opened its mouth and screamed at the few people.
Wen Qing followed its gaze and saw a missing piece of the cake.
The corner that was touched off by Ye Ye.
Wen Qing looked at Ye Ye.
Ye Ye said coldly: "Just kill him."
Hearing this, the little golden monkey's cry stopped abruptly.
He looked at Ye Ye, and instead of showing any fear on his face, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was expecting to be killed.
Wen Qing felt a chill down his spine and a chill on his back.
This monkey could understand human language, and was actually happy when he heard that Ye Ye wanted to kill him.
Plus the weird rules for visitors.
He couldn't help but start thinking more about what would happen to the player if he attacked the animals?
Ye Ye looked at the smile on the little golden monkey's face, put away the knife, and said coldly: "Want to be killed?"
"I won't kill you."
Wen Qing: “…”
The little golden monkey sneered and threw the flower in his hand fiercely at Ye Ye.
Ye Ye turned his head to avoid it.
The little golden monkey screamed again.
Wen Qing got a headache from the sound of it.
Li Ran looked pale, stared at the small flower on the ground for two seconds, and said stiffly: "That..."
She shakily untied the hair tie in her hand, pinched the pink glass beads adorning the hair tie, and tremblingly handed it to the little golden monkey: "Here, this is for you, okay?"
"We didn't mean to do that."
"This, this will look great on the cake."
A ray of sunlight shines on the glass beads, shining with colorful colors.
The little golden monkey stared at it for a long time, then slowly reached out his hand and snatched it away.
Li Ran said quickly: "Then, let's go first."
After saying that, she grabbed Wen Qing and Ye Ye and walked out carefully.
The little golden monkey ignored them, pulled out the hair string and threw it away, leaving only a glass bead.
It clenched the glass bead tightly, climbed up the wall of the cave in two or three steps, turned sideways, and slowly placed the glass bead in the center of the top of the pile of corpses.
It swung its long, thin tail, stared at the pile of corpses, and slowly hummed a tune.
After leaving the cave for a distance, Wen Qing asked with a pale face: "I, I just heard it..."
Ye Ye said in a deep voice: "It is humming Happy Birthday."
"That pile of corpses is indeed a cake."
