Chapter 392: The Tricks of the Beast World (5)
"What he said is true. I heard it too. Boss Li went out on his own! It seemed someone touched his foot, and he thought it was one of us, so he kicked it. And then that's what happened next."
Xia Yueke: "Can we go see his body?"
Sister Zhang obviously had the same idea and looked at Luo Da.
Luo Da pointed to the back and said, "The wooden house we live in is right over there!"
Xia Yuke was stunned. They clearly came out of this house. Logically, this should be the wooden house where they lived.
However, when they followed Luo Da in again, the layout of the room had changed.
There were still three wooden beds, three bedside tables and a toilet, but Xia Yueke clearly remembered that their toilet was on the left, while the toilet in this room was on the right. It seemed that Luo Da was not lying.
Sister Zhang walked straight in and stopped near the door. There was indeed someone there, but the person who was alive last night had now turned into a corpse.
Boss Li was still covered with the quilt, but his body had begun to stiffen and turn blue.
Xia Yueke only dared to look from a distance, but saw that Boss Li's eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and his expression was terrified. She didn't know what he saw before he died.
After walking around for a while, they found nothing. Then they heard a noise outside, and everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on the door. Ai Teng was so scared that he moved eight feet away from the door.
With a creak, the old wooden door opened. The person who appeared this time was not the Tiger Elder, but a member of the Tiger Clan, or rather an orc. His tiger tail and ears stood high, and his sharp fangs were exposed.
"Hello, the chief said that you can go see him as long as you complete three tasks. Now is your first task - please pick enough fruit before sunset today. As you know, our tribe has recently encountered a famine and is extremely short of food. The green is to the east of the Misty Forest, so please don't make the wrong choice!"
His voice sounded like sand was grinding against his vocal cords, so unpleasant that one wanted to cover their ears immediately, but Xia Yue and everyone else had to listen for the sake of the mission.
Unexpectedly, after the tiger tribe member finished speaking, he stepped forward and carried Boss Li's body away.
Everyone looked at the scene in confusion.
Sister Zhang surprised everyone. She stepped forward and asked before the other person left, "Wait, I want to ask, where are you taking our friend? That short, bald guy!"
The tiger tribe member turned around and sneered, his eyes bulging and his mouth wide open. "Your friend broke the rules, and now he's ours! You know there's a famine in our tribe, so to avoid wasting food, of course we have to eat him!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his rough, black-haired hand and ripped off Boss Li's arm. His sharp fangs pierced directly into the flesh that was still somewhat warm. With a strong tear, the muscles and blood vessels were torn apart, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing all over his face and body.
He chewed the piece of meat in his mouth and mumbled incoherently. There were still pieces of unswallowed meat and blood hanging from the corners of his mouth. They kept dripping down his chin to the ground, mixing with the dust and forming a horrible bloodstain.
He stopped eating after finishing an arm, and instead looked up at everyone present and licked his lips, "Alive ones are still delicious. Dead ones are no longer fresh!"
He left after he finished speaking. This time no one asked questions and no one stopped him.
"Ugh~"
Ai Teng, a young boy, finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to dry heave while lying on the bed. However, because he had eaten little yesterday, he couldn't vomit anything out, only a little sour water.
Xia Yueke was also frightened by this lawless scene. She wanted to tell herself that all this was fake, but the dark red blood on the ground proved that she was not dreaming and all this happened in reality.
Sister Zhang finally lived up to her high-spirited look from yesterday. Her expression finally changed a little, but she still said calmly:
"We can't delay any longer. You know the time here is weird. If it's like yesterday, it might be dark soon, and we won't even see the orchard. If you don't want to die, cheer up now. Otherwise, if you break the rules, these guys will eat us all!"
Sister Zhang's words seemed to have worked. Ai Teng gradually straightened up and stopped retching. He and Luo Da went out together. They all walked around the pool of blood at the door.
When Xia Yueke went out, she found five baskets in front of the door, which seemed to be used to store fruits.
Xia Yueke felt that meeting the tribe leader might be the final way to pass the level, because this team leader had appeared in the mouths of the tiger tribe twice, but would this tribe leader help them? This was too incredible.
The few people were no longer surprised by the basket that suddenly appeared. Instead, they picked up the basket, straddled it, and walked out of the tribe.
Along the way, the tribe that was empty yesterday now has many people. When Xia Yueke and his group appeared in front of them, they all stopped what they were doing and just stared at them.
Xia Yueke even saw several of the tiger orcs swallowing their saliva, as if they wanted to pounce on them and eat them all.
Several people quickly walked out of the tribe and headed towards the misty forest indicated by the sign.
At first, several people were walking together, but a thick fog suddenly appeared around them, blocking everyone's sight.
Sister Zhang immediately shouted, "It's not easy to get lost if you hold hands!"
Xia Yuke immediately reached out to grab Sister Zhang's hand, but missed.
She looked up and found that no one was around. "Sister Zhang? Luo Da? Ai Teng?"
There was no response, and everyone seemed to separate.
Or was she the only one who was separated? Xia Yueke stood there, suddenly feeling terrified. There were towering trees all around, too high to reach. There was nothing around, with visibility of only one meter. Everything was filled with unknown dangers.
Xia Yueke stood there for two or three minutes before continuing to move forward. Since everyone was gone, she could only rely on herself to get out of the misty forest and find the orchard.
Xia Yueke tried to slow down his pace as much as possible, and then silently recited the three rules about the Misty Forest in his mind.
Rule 5. Mysterious Footprints: If you see a large, three-toed footprint in the forest, do not follow it. It's a velociraptor's footprint, and trespassing into its territory will lead to death.
[Rule 7. Misty Forest: When entering the Misty Forest, follow the trees on your left. If you deviate, you will be trapped in the maze and unable to escape.]
Rule 8. Mysterious Sound: If you hear a melodious flute sound deep in the forest, do not follow it. It is a deceptive trap that will control you.
"Left hand, left hand, left hand."
From then on, whenever there was a fork in the road, Xia Yueke would remember to go to the left.
