This is definitely unreasonable. After hunting, hunters usually process their prey and then prepare storage facilities for future use.
For example, in these deep mountains and old forests, there are always times when the mountains are closed by heavy snow. Sometimes it is not suitable to go out, or the owner has a headache, which is when the prey that has been stored previously is used.
Unless they are hunting in groups, they will not continue to hunt without handling the prey.
After entering the village, Pei Mengqing and the two orange cats looked around from house to house, but saw no one.
Not even the carcass of the wild boar that I had been tracking was seen.
It's like everything has disappeared.
"It's so strange. The things in these wooden houses clearly still have traces of use, and they are traces of recent use. Why do all the people seem to have evaporated out of thin air? Could it be possible that they really went out hunting together?"
What makes Pei Mengqing and the others even more strange is that in addition to the place found by Bureau Ju, there are also many clothes in other places and in those wooden houses, all of which look like the owners of the clothes disappeared out of thin air.
"No, why is there no one there?" Juju turned into an orange figure and moved back and forth between the snow and the wooden house, but he didn't find any living things.
On the other hand, the steady Xiaori said:
"The shadows are crawling."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Mengqing felt a little creepy, as if she had mistakenly entered the set of a horror movie.
"Uh, what do you mean, you mean the shadow swallowed up the living person?" Pei Mengqing immediately put her left hand on her sword and started to be cautious.
However, these two new swords are obviously not as comfortable as his original Qingshuang Sword. At least the top of the sword hilt is not as comfortable as the Qingshuang Sword.
It's probably because the hilt of the Qingshuang Sword has been wrapped out by him.
"I'm just guessing, but I've heard of similar incidents, like how people in a certain village disappeared out of thin air, leaving only clothes on the ground. No living creature could leave, and was eventually swallowed by the darkness."
When Pei Mengqing heard it, she felt it was a bit familiar, as if she had seen a bad science fiction thriller before, with a similar plot.
The film probably talks about one day when a certain city falls completely into darkness, and all facilities are without power, including mobile phones and other communication facilities. Even planes flying over the city will lose power and cause air crashes.
The shadow will then devour the person exposed to darkness, and without light he will be devoured, leaving only the clothes on his body.
At the same time, shadows and darkness can also create illusions.
The movie had a good sense of suspense at the beginning, but it ended in an anticlimactic way and ended in a very cliche way with the implications of religion and rebirth. Pei Mengqing wanted to curse while watching it.
So his memory is fresh.
The clothes on the ground that had lost their owners reminded him of that movie, and he thought the situation might be somewhat similar.
But things were different. At least he didn't understand what was going on with the wild boar.
The traces of dragging are still there, will the wild boar be devoured?
Just as he was thinking this, his mind was filled with all kinds of speculations, it was like someone "turned off" the sun, and the surroundings suddenly turned dark.
A gurgling sound suddenly appeared, as if it was raining in the severe cold, or as if some strange creature was approaching and surrounding them.
Realizing the danger, Juju and Xiaori instantly glowed golden and jumped to Pei Mengqing's side, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Pei Mengqing didn't have any means of lighting herself. The only thing she could think of was to set the surrounding houses on fire, but it was also very likely to cause a forest fire and turn into a mountain fire that was difficult to extinguish.
He has the idea of encirclement in his heart.
It's okay to cut down some of these lush and dense forests in ancient times. The road is blue and the road is blue. This is what the word refers to.
But if the entire forest is burned, the surrounding Tianhe County will definitely be affected.
Problems such as soil erosion, sandstorms, drought, and difficulty in growing crops will all occur.
Fortunately, there are Juju and Xiaori, these two big oranges are really reliable at critical times, and the protective golden light of the orange cat family also plays a key role.
"I just said the shadow is moving." Xiaori said.
Then, in the golden light of the two orange cats, Pei Mengqing saw that in the shadows reflected by the light, those shadows were like living creatures, constantly squirming, trying to resist the light, and even trying to rush to Pei Mengqing and pull him in. In the shadows.
"They seem to want to blend us in. How long will your protective golden light last?" Pei Mengqing asked.
Juju said proudly: "This little golden light is not considered a waste, and it will last for more than ten days without any problem."
"No, our physical strength is also being consumed. The shadow is consuming our golden light. It is not like that in nature. Light and shadow are just normal phenomena. They are alive." Xiaori denied.
Pei Mengqing: "Well, so in this way, how long can we last? By the way, who of you two can shut down, so that we can save a lot of energy, right?"
Hearing this, Juju turned off his golden light, Pei Mengqing held Xiaori in his arms, and Juju squatted on his shoulders.
The scope of the golden light quickly shrank in a circle, and darkness followed closely, further compressing their safe space.
"In this case, my cat can last for one day, and if I rotate with the Orange Bureau, each of them can last half a day longer, for a total of three days. In these three days, we have to find a way to get out of here." Xiaori said.
Pei Mengqing was a little helpless: "Well, a hunting trip turned into a horror game escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly pounced up from the darkness behind him, bringing with it the sound of breaking wind and great malice.
Pei Mengqing didn't turn around. Juju, who was squatting on his shoulder, used his claws to cut the shadow into eight pieces.
The shadow fell on the snow, quickly squirmed and gathered together, and then squirmed back into the shadow like an earthworm whose body had been cut into eight pieces and rejoined.
However, Pei Mengqing and the others seemed to hear a low cry of pain, as if Juju's claw had hurt the shadow.
"I'll give it a try first." Pei Mengqing pulled out a sword in her right hand and attached spiritual energy to it.
Then he slashed forward suddenly, and a sword energy flew out with loud thunder and small raindrops, cutting a gap in the shadow in front of him.
At the same time, there were low sounds of pain, and then angry sounds.
The surrounding shadows seemed to be irritated by his actions, and began to tremble and boil, with densely protruding dots vying to pounce on him.
The golden light of the small sun shines brightly, dispersing the shadows, like magma poured on ice, causing the shadows to retreat wailing, as if they have encountered a natural enemy.
In the shadows, someone seemed to be talking:
"It's a clan of cats, devour it."
"Swallow it."
"..."
