After pondering for a moment, Lu Li raised his eyelids and found a few more footprints on a damp place in front of him on the right.
Immediately walked over quickly to check it out.
At this glance, it was discovered that this footprint was similar to the one just now and should belong to the same person.
Unconsciously, he turned around and asked, "I remember, you said you and Dahuang went into the mountains last time. Did you take the same road we just took?"
"No. The last time it took me down was the ravine below, but before we got here, we met a big bad wolf, and then we went back." The child shrank his neck and said with some fear.
"Understood."
Lu Li nodded, looked towards the ravine turning to the right, and said, "If you believe me, just follow me this way. If you don't believe me, just go back the way you came, go home and wait. If I find your grandfather, Then bring him back to see you."
"I, I'd better go with you, I don't dare to go back alone." The little boy said eagerly.
"Okay, let's go."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he followed his own judgment and continued walking along the ravine that turned right.
This ravine is about two feet wide and has a gentle terrain. There are some small miscellaneous trees growing in it. The soil on the ground is soft and does not look like it is often washed away by floods.
Perhaps it had rained in the mountains when the boy's grandfather came in, and it was mostly cloudy afterwards, so many footprints on the ground were still clearly visible, which saved Lu Li a lot of worry.
The two of them walked for half an hour when a crash suddenly came from the steep slope on the left, which startled the child. It wasn't until a figure of ephedra emerged from the forest that he beamed: "Rhubarb!"
Dahuang seemed unhappy. He showed a lack of interest in the child's calls and did not respond. He even stopped wagging his tail.
Lu Li glanced back and felt a strange feeling in his heart again, but he didn't say anything more and continued walking forward.
The little boy followed behind Lu Li, beckoning Dahuang to follow him. Dahuang stood there and looked at the two people until he realized that the two of them had no intention of stopping, then he quickly rushed in front of the two of them.
Woof!
After walking for a while, Dahuang suddenly seemed to have discovered something and called out.
Lu Li quickly stopped and looked around, but found nothing. However, when he saw that the footprints on the ground were still moving forward, he continued walking forward.
But not long after walking, Da Huang started barking again.
Lu Li searched again, but still found nothing. He couldn't help but frowned and looked at Dahuang, "What are you yelling about?"
Dahuang Li ignored him and accelerated, leaving Lu Li and the two behind. They disappeared in a moment. Only the faint sound of dogs barking reached Lu Li's ears from time to time.
"What's wrong with Rhubarb? It wasn't like this before." The child muttered.
"What was it like before?" Lu Li asked as he walked.
"When it found prey in the past, it would immediately chase after it without even barking. Why is it acting like crazy today, howling non-stop all the way? Could it be that Grandpa said it was a ghost?" The child said, and couldn't help but feel his heartbeat. pounding.
"Possessed by a ghost?"
Lu Li smiled hoarsely, shook his head and said, "I don't think so. That guy seems to be losing his temper. It's better not to provoke the wild beasts in the mountains."
"Beast?"
The child looked up at the sky and said anxiously: "Brother, it's getting dark soon. Why don't we light a torch? Grandpa said that wild animals like to come out and eat people when it gets dark. Fire can make them afraid."
It turned out that before they knew it, the two of them had walked from noon to dusk. Looking up, you can still see a few stars in the sky. It must be another sunny day tomorrow.
Lu Li shook his head, "There's a moon tonight, so you can walk at night without torches. It's better not to burn them. If it attracts a herd of beasts, it will be inappropriate..."
Woof!
Woof woof woof...!
Just as the two were talking, Dahuang's cry in front of him rang again, and the sound became louder and louder, as if it was speeding towards Lu Li.
After a moment, Lu Li's expression suddenly changed. He held the child under his arm and rushed halfway up the mountain in a few steps. Then he climbed up an old tree with great flexibility and placed the child higher up: "Don't move, hold on tight!"
Just as Lu Li finished all this, there was a rumble in the valley ahead, accompanied by the sound of trees breaking.
The voice became more and more urgent, getting closer and closer to Lu Li.
The sound of dogs barking became increasingly clear.
After more than a dozen breaths, there was a sudden "swish" sound. Dahuang took the lead to break out of the forest, and then suddenly turned around, climbed up the slope, and came to the foot of the big tree where Lu Li was, screaming wildly: "Woof! Woof!"
It was as if it was afraid of the terrifying thing chasing it behind and didn't know Lu Li was hiding here.
Lu Li was shocked and angry, and had the urge to beat this stupid dog to death.
The child kept silent, but Dahuang turned a blind eye and kept barking. The next moment, a black shadow hit Lu Li's head.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a violent ape several feet tall. It was leaping high at this moment, waving its huge fist, and punched the dog where it was barking.
Lu Li and the two of them who were on the tree were the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and their crisis was almost extreme.
At the critical moment, Lu Li hugged the child into his arms, then jumped down the hillside. Before he landed, there was a loud bang in his ears.
The big tree he was sheltering in before was directly smashed into pieces by the violent ape's punch.
Lu Li also fell heavily into the ravine with a plop. Fortunately, his body was strong enough, otherwise even if he didn't die this time, he would probably be crippled.
The child was protected by Lu Li in his arms. Although he suffered some shocks, he was not seriously injured. However, after he regained consciousness, he was so frightened that he cried loudly.
Dahuang had already disappeared.
The violent ape missed the attack and was lying on the mountainside breathing heavily. When he heard the cry, he immediately kicked off his feet and jumped up high again. With his mountain-like body, he stepped down towards Lu Li and the two of them.
"presumptuous!"
Lu Li's eyes froze, and he stood up suddenly. He raised his left hand and held it firmly above his head the moment the giant ape stepped on it.
Before giving the violent ape a chance to react, Lu Li instantly turned his palm into a fist, and with one movement and extension, he directly blasted a blood hole in the sole of the violent ape's foot. Then he grabbed the blood hole with one hand, threw it hard, and smashed it to The rock wall in the distance.
The violent ape suddenly felt as if it had been hit hard, and fell into the ravine, howling in pain!
Lu Li ran away like a wild bull. Just as he stood up, he suddenly whipped his leg again, and with a snap, he directly swept the violent ape's right leg into two pieces.
Roar! ! !
The ape was in heart-breaking pain, and his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground again.
Kill him while he's sick!
Lu Li stepped forward again and stomped on the ape's forehead. There was an explosion, and the head as big as a basin was instantly torn apart by Lu Li's stomp, and his brains spilled out.
The scene is quite bloody!
The violent ape's body was twitching wildly, and he saw that he could not survive.
At the same time, in the jungle on the top of the mountain on the right, when the old dog with ephedra saw this scene, a humanized look of shock flashed in his eyes.
