Stepping into the jungle, the sound of the waves behind Lu Ming gradually became weaker until it was completely inaudible.
Suddenly, Lu Ming raised his hand and stopped.
Bai Yuekui stopped and was about to ask what was wrong when he saw Lu Ming put his index finger in front of his lips.
Lu Ming waved his hand, and the mobile phone appeared in his hand.
He silenced his phone first, then quickly typed a line of words on it and showed it to Bai Yuekui.
"It was so quiet in the forest, there was no sound, it was like the world was dead."
Bai Yuekui took Lu Ming's cell phone and typed: "There is a monster in here. Isn't it normal that there is no sound?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "Creatures with high IQs will not extinguish all sounds.
Absolute silence will drive intelligent creatures crazy.
Creatures with low IQs usually have territorial awareness and will not easily leave their territory and will kill other creatures that intrude into their territory.
Unless we have now entered the territory of a certain monster, this absolute silence is by no means normal. "
Bai Yuekui looked around subconsciously, but except that there was no sound, everything else was normal.
Bai Yuekui took the phone again and typed: "You are right, monsters are indeed like this. It is very possible that we have entered the territory of a certain monster.
Be careful and alert. "
Putting away their mobile phones, the two of them stood back to back, concentrating and watching carefully in front of them, preparing to deal with monsters that might appear at any time.
But after ten minutes, no monster appeared.
Lu Ming took out his phone again: "Go inside and take a look, be careful."
Bai Yuekui nodded in agreement.
Lu Ming put away his cell phone, and the two of them continued walking into the jungle quietly, trying not to make any noise.
As a result, their speed will inevitably slow down.
But there is also a direct benefit, safety.
They walked all the way in and didn't encounter a single monster after a long time.
This made both Lu Ming and Lu Ming feel a little strange.
The two stood still again, and Lu Ming took out his mobile phone and typed: "This monster's territory is too big, isn't it?"
Bai Yuekui frowned slightly, she didn't know what was going on.
Looking back, this mission has always been weird.
Lu Ming continued typing: "Judging from the content of this mission, we are asked to kill at least 10 monsters, which shows that there are a lot of monsters.
But so far, we haven't encountered any of them, which is contrary to common sense. "
Bai Yuekui took the phone: "Maybe we haven't gone deep enough."
Lu Ming: "It's possible."
Bai Yuekui: "Continue to go deeper?"
"Let me think about it." Lu Ming fell into deep thought after typing this line.
After a while, he typed again: "I always feel that it is too quiet in this jungle, there are no sounds of birds or insects, it is beyond the scope of normal quiet.
Is it possible that the reason we didn't encounter monsters was because we stayed as quiet as in the jungle? "
Bai Yuekui: "You mean, once we break this silence, the monster will appear?"
Lu Ming: "Want to try?"
Bai Yuekui thought for a moment and nodded.
Lu Ming put away his cell phone, picked a tree nearby, and pointed at it. Bai Yuekui understood, and the two of them climbed up silently.
Immediately, Lu Ming grabbed his hand into the air and found an unfamiliar mobile phone in his hand.
This was found from those zombies during the zombie mission.
In order to make signal bombs, he picked up a bunch of them and put them into the system space. These unused ones can be put to use now.
Lu Ming set an alarm for one minute on his phone, then looked in a certain direction and threw the phone out.
The phone flew out and landed some twenty meters away.
Because the ground was covered with mud, the phone didn't make any sound.
Lu Ming and Bai Yuekui locked their eyes on the mobile phones on the ground, waiting for the time to pass by.
Suddenly, a harsh ringing sound came from over there.
At this time, a few shadows were flying over from a little further away in the jungle at a speed far exceeding that of normal creatures.
boom!
A sharp claw pierced the phone.
After a few arcs of electricity flashed through the phone, there was no sound at all.
Several gray-brown monsters with slender bodies, but exuding great strength, that were somewhat similar to praying mantises except for their heads, appeared in the field of vision of Lu Ming and Bai Yuekui.
After destroying the cell phones, the monsters acted like they were listening, as if to discern if there were any other sounds.
Their whole bodies exude powerful, dangerous, evil, death and many other disgusting auras.
Seeing this kind of thing will make people feel uncomfortable all over. People know that this thing is extremely dangerous and can easily take their lives.
Several monsters waited there for a while, and then turned and left after hearing no other sounds.
After the monsters completely disappeared, Lu Ming took out his phone and typed three words: "Go back to the beach."
The two followed the original path and soon returned to the beach again.
Amidst the familiar sound of the waves, Lu Ming said, "You can talk now."
Bai Yuekui still looked into the jungle: "I just saw it clearly, this monster has no eyes, they can't see anything.
They rely on sound to find prey. "
Lu Ming shook his head: "No, they don't rely on sound to find prey, they hate all sounds, they hunt sounds, and they will destroy everything that makes sounds.
Be it people or things.
That's why it was so quiet in the jungle just now.
No birds chirping, no insects chirping. "
After a pause, Lu Ming continued: "The reason why we were able to spend three days at the beach safely without them attacking us is because the sound of the waves covered up our voices and prevented them from hearing us.
They hate sounds, but there is nothing they can do about natural sounds like waves, so they naturally stay away from the seaside.
This allowed us to easily complete the first task. "
…………
"So that's it."
"It's a sound-hunting monster."
"I just asked Brother Slipper and Miss Bai, how come they are not attacked? It turns out that this kind of monster hates sounds."
"Now that I think about it, from the beginning to the end, Brother Slipper and Miss Bai did not make too much noise, and it did not exceed the sound of the waves."
"Yes, those other countries either went to build fortifications in the jungle or on the seaside. They all made a very loud noise, and soon they were attacked by those monsters."
"It's amazing that there are such monsters in this world."
"It's not magical, it's terrifying."
