The strange roar sounded once and then became silent again.
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue hid in the lush bushes, squatting on the ground and not daring to breathe.
Luo Xiangxue heard that the thunderous roar might have come from a tiger, and she was trembling with fear. After all, she was just a young woman with no experience in the world. Although she had never seen the legendary man-eating tiger with her own eyes, she had heard of how terrifying it was.
Liu Ruyan said quietly: "Now we have to find a way to escape. If the beast can't find us, we must not disturb it. Don't be afraid. As long as it can't find us, it will be safe now."
Luo Xiangxue looked at Liu Ruyan longingly, bit her lip and nodded. At this time, there was no movement in the forest over there.
The two of them squatted in the bushes. The branches, leaves and thorns tore their clothes, and there were blood marks on their arms. The blood seeped out, causing burning pain. Luo Xiangxue covered her face with her sleeves, trying to avoid the jagged thorns. If she wasn't careful, her face would be scratched.
The two of them were trembling with fear, fearing that the beast with a deafening roar would suddenly appear in front of them. After a while, there was no movement from the other side. The two looked at each other, feeling surprised: What kind of monster could it be? Why was there suddenly no sound?
Luo Xiangxue slowly raised her head and looked through the gap in the bushes towards the place where the sound came from. The surroundings were empty. Where could there be any trace of monsters?
Luo Xiangxue murmured: "Why is there no movement again? Brother Liu, do you think this monster has left?" Her mood was still tense, but she was much calmer than before.
Liu Ruyan also looked deep into the jungle and muttered: "Maybe it has gone away from another place. Let's not go out yet and wait and see!" Liu Ruyan tried his best to comfort her.
Luo Xiangxue said quietly: "Then why don't we take this opportunity to escape quickly? Go back and tell everyone about this! They will definitely be worried if we have been out for so long."
Liu Ruyan looked around and said slowly: "Don't worry for the moment. You hide here and don't move. I'll go over and take a look first! If the beast has really left, it won't be too late for us to go back. Xiangmei, don't If you're afraid, just wait for me here. I'll come back as soon as I go." He reached out and stroked Luo Xiangxue's hair and nodded resolutely towards her.
Luo Xiangxue looked at him with a melancholy expression and said anxiously: "Brother Liu, you have to be careful. If the big monster hasn't left yet, it will be troublesome! If you encounter it accidentally, you must find a way Run away!"
Liu Ruyan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Don't come out, just hide here. I'll be back soon!"
Luo Xiangxue stared at him, bit her lip and nodded, saying: "You must be careful, I'm waiting for you to come back!"
Liu Ruyan smiled at her, waved her hand, glanced into the deep forest, pushed aside the thorns, got up and walked slowly towards that side.
It rained lightly last night, and the forest was extremely humid. The sunlight cast down, and dazzling lights appeared among the forest leaves.
Liu Ruyan cautiously approached the dense forest where the strange roar came from. There were densely packed giant trees with lush branches and leaves. The surrounding light was dim, but it was very quiet. Where are the shadows of any monsters?
Liu Ruyan came closer, gently pushed aside a clump of branches and leaves, and quietly peeked in. In the dark and lush forest, weeds grew wildly on the ground, as high as a person. At first glance, it was empty, except for countless big trees and grass, there was nothing.
But where did that deafening roar come from just now? This sound shocked my heart. It definitely didn’t sound like it was coming from a human being. If it wasn’t a human voice, what kind of animal could it be?
Liu Ruyan thought that when coming out of Flying Eagle Castle, Lu Xiangnan had told everyone that wild beasts often appeared in this area. At that time, everyone was still lucky and thought that they would not be so unlucky, but just now That huge roar was undoubtedly made by some kind of beast. It seems that what he said is true, this giant beast really does exist.
He suddenly thought, since he didn't find the monster at this moment, he must leave here as soon as possible. Xu Feng, Lei Zhentian and others were still in the temple. If the monster went to the temple, wouldn't they be in great danger?
Originally, he wanted to go into the deep place to investigate carefully, but when he thought about it, he immediately gave up the idea. There must be danger hidden in this place, so he couldn't stay for a long time!
Without thinking too much, he immediately took steps, stretched out his body, took a breath of vitality in his chest, and ran quickly towards Luo Xiangxue's hiding place.
In a few leaps and bounds, they arrived at the thorn forest where they had just hidden, but Luo Xiangxue disappeared. She was clearly hiding here, but why did she disappear in the blink of an eye? Where will she go? Didn't you agree to wait here?
Did she encounter an accident? If this is the case, what should we do?
Liu Ruyan suddenly became nervous, and his heart twisted into a ball. He looked around anxiously, opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "Xiangxue, where are you? Sister Xue, are you there? Where have you been?" Xue Mei? Xue Mei?..." The loud voice echoed through the entire forest.
Liu Ruyan anxiously walked around the forest, searching quickly with his eyes, not missing every hidden corner.
He couldn't care about so much anymore. Didn't he just agree with her not to run around and wait for him here, but why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?
He searched around anxiously for a long time, but there was no response. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a chill arose in his heart: Could it be that the roaring monster had kidnapped her? His eyes were as wide as two copper bells, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Just as he was running around looking for it, there was a sudden sway in the leaves in the jungle in the distance, and several figures suddenly jumped out like arrows. Several people looked around anxiously, but no sound came out of their mouths.
Liu Ruyan took a closer look, and suddenly he was beaming with joy. Only then did he see clearly that these people were none other than Xu Feng, Lu Xiangnan and Luo Xiangxue. Luo Xiangxue was walking at the front. It was obvious that she had brought the big guy here.
At this time, everyone had also seen Liu Ruyan and was about to say hello, but Liu Ruyan spoke first: "Uncle Xu, Lu Zhuangshi, Xiangxue, I'm here!" He waved and shouted while walking quickly towards everyone. Ran over.
Luo Xiangxue took a closer look and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, are you okay?"
Liu Ruyan said happily: "I'm fine. Where did you go just now? I'm still looking for you everywhere?"
Luo Xiangxue breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I was really worried when you went there to inquire just now. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I ran back to the temple to find Uncle Xu and the others. We are relieved that you are okay!"
