When the sunset filled the sky, Su Ruotang, Mo Rongyan, and Shen Shi and Shen Fei arrived outside the mountain forest where the monkeys appeared.
The bright red light in the sky reflects the endless dark green mountain forest, which is a bit strange.
A young man carried firewood and passed by the four people with a look of horror on his face: "It's getting dark. You guys should leave quickly."
Shen Shi and Shen Fei looked at each other, pretending not to know, "Why?"
The man glanced at the forest with fear: "Since yesterday, our hunters who entered the mountains have not come back."
"Someone saw the shadow of the giant this morning. Those hunters must have been eaten by the giant!"
When he said the latter sentence, there was obvious panic in his eyes.
He tipped the firewood on his shoulder and advised: "You should leave as soon as possible."
After saying this, he picked up the burden and left in a hurry.
A cool breeze with a bone-chilling chill hit me, and I could vaguely hear the man's voice, "Hey, we have been living well for generations."
"Although the mountains and forests are dangerous, there are not many risks if you only hunt in the outer areas. However, this giant suddenly appeared yesterday, and none of the hunters who entered the mountains have returned home."
"Hey, I have to sell this bundle of firewood as soon as possible, and then move with my wife and children as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know when I will be caught and eaten by the giant."
The four people listened to the man's muttering, and their expressions became more solemn.
"Let's rest outside tonight and then go into the woods tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Shi and Shen Fei immediately went to prepare for camping.
Outside the mountains and forests, there are many unknown flowers blooming.
Su Ruotang lowered his eyes and looked at the little flowers at his feet quietly.
After a while, she took out a porcelain bottle, threw it to Shen Shi, and "eat the elixir inside."
While speaking, she took out a medicine bottle again, poured a pill into Mo Ronyan's mouth.
"Are these flowers poisonous?" Mo Ronyan glanced at the unknown wild flowers on the ground.
Su Ruotang's face was solemn: "These flowers are not poisonous."
Speaking of this, she looked at Shen Fei, "Did your body feel strange after you entered the forest?"
Shen Fei shook his head.
Just as he was shaking his head, his eyes suddenly widened, "No, we feel as if our combat effectiveness has weakened. We are obviously not injured, and our internal strength is not damaged..."
Su Ruotang's eyes suddenly flashed: "These flowers are not poisonous, but have a soothing effect."
Calming the nerves?
Shen Shi was slightly startled: "No wonder the Zilin Guard's combat effectiveness has weakened..."
The Zilin Guards have all taken the antidote pills given by the third prince's concubine, and they are not afraid of toxins.
But there's really no way to guard against something like this that calms the nerves.
Su Ruotang bent down and picked a small purple flower, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, "This flower is a good thing. Pick some and take it with you when you leave."
The first half of the night was peaceful.
Later in the night, there were faint screams in the forest.
Mo Ronyan looked at the mountains and forests in the distance with a solemn expression.
Shen Shi's face also looked a little ugly: "Your Highness, he should be the hunter who was caught by those monkeys."
Shen Fei was a little creepy: "They can scratch rocks with one claw, and the people can't resist a slap from them..."
The screams continued until daybreak and then subsided.
"Let's go." Mo Rongyan pulled Su Ruotang and walked slowly towards the forest.
The further in you go, the stronger the damp and musty smell becomes.
The rotten dead leaves prove that this place is inaccessible.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the four of them stopped in unison.
There was a faint smell of blood lingering in his breath.
The land in front of him was completely soaked in blood.
Su Ruotang looked intently.
I barely recognized that they were several human bodies.
It's just that it has been torn into countless pieces at this time.
Can't be pieced together completely.
But these corpses were left in the forest for a night, but no vultures or wild wolves came to eat them.
Shen Li shuddered.
Even though he had experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
Looking at the body that was torn into pieces, the four of them felt sad, but at the same time, unspeakable fear emerged in their hearts.
If that giant monkey-like creature walks out of this mountain forest, it will be a disaster for the people.
Mo Ronyan's face was solemn as never before: "Keep moving forward, be careful."
Su Ruotang, who was following Mo Rongyan, had a pale face.
She gritted her teeth and walked forward step by step.
The refreshing cedar scent on the man's body gradually diluted the strong smell of blood, making people feel reassured.
Dead silence, a terrifying and oppressive silence.
The whole forest was lifeless.
In the suffocating silence, the four of them walked cautiously inside.
"According to my brother's guess, Bi Tuomui should grow beside rivers or lakes." Su Ruotang looked around.
Mo Ronyan asked softly: "Did Mu Chen tell me what Bi Touxui looks like?"
Su Ruotang shook his head: "No, an ancestor of the Mu family mentioned it briefly. You can recognize it when you see it."
Mo Rongyan frowned slightly: "Tang'er, is the poison in your hand useful to that creature in the forest?"
Su Ruotang pursed her lips: "I'm not sure."
The last time they encountered an ancient salamander, if it hadn't been for the powerful anesthetic gun, they would have died in the belly of the salamander.
Although the medicines and equipment that come with her medical space can reappear after being taken, there is also a time lag.
It will take at least one hour.
There are only five such powerful anesthesia guns in the medical space.
If you encounter five monkeys, you can probably deal with them barely.
But according to Shen Fei, there are a lot of creatures.
It can't be dealt with at all.
Mo Ronyan held her hand and raised the corners of his lips, "As long as I can be with my wife, life or death is not that important to my husband."
Su Ruotang took a deep breath, and her beautiful little face looked solemn.
Just as she was about to speak, a faint voice came from the front, "Help...help..."
