He is a big man who doesn't like to eat compressed biscuits very much, but his delicate-looking sister-in-law has no complaints. How can Ge Hu not admire him?
The two of them ate something to replenish their strength, and then they each got into the tent to recharge their batteries for the time being.
The surroundings have already darkened, the sky is full of stars, and the wilderness is full of flowers. Two small camouflage tents are hidden in the mountain depression. It is impossible to see clearly unless you look carefully.
In the middle of the night, the wind in the mountains suddenly picked up, making the tent rattle, as if it might be overturned at any time.
Although Liancheng traveled a long distance during the day, he slept very alertly.
She keenly heard strange noises coming from a distance, and immediately opened her eyes, watching the movement outside through the tent.
The whistling wind blows like mountains and seas, overwhelming the clusters of weeds and making a rushing sound.
Among these chaotic sounds, Liancheng keenly heard a faint sound, which seemed to be the footsteps of some large animal.
She didn't turn on the light, and groped to half sit up from the tent, and quietly squinted her eyes to look out from the tent's air vent.
It was pitch black outside, with the occasional stalk of grass blown by the wind.
Suddenly, it became pitch black outside the tent, and I couldn't see anything!
Liancheng's heart sank, and he instantly understood that there was something outside!
The reason why she can't see it now is because her eyes are looking at the pupils of that thing!
The fear of the unknown instantly made Liancheng's whole body icy cold, until the soles of his feet were cold.
She knew that there must be many unknown things in these vast mountains, but no one knew what those things were.
Now that I really met her in the dark night, fear instantly enveloped her whole body, and she forgot how to react for a moment.
It was still pitch black at the ventilation hole, and Liancheng stood still in the distance. After a while, he heard the wind blowing again, and the moonlight had already poured in from the ventilation hole just now.
Liancheng knew that the thing had already left.
She clenched her fists, pinned the short dagger next to the pillow behind her waist, gritted her teeth, opened the curtain, and quickly got out of the tent.
The moonlight outside was quite bright, and there was no other sound except the wind.
Liancheng scanned around at the fastest speed, but found nothing, then walked towards Gehu's tent, and called softly, "Gehu?"
"arrive!"
Ge Hu, who was in a drowsy sleep, heard someone calling his name, and immediately responded subconsciously. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was halfway up the mountain, and then I remembered that I came to pick snow lotus with Liancheng, and I quickly got out of the tent, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Liancheng remained on alert, looking around vigilantly, "Something came over just now."
Ge Hu's face turned pale in an instant, secretly annoyed that he had let down his vigilance. This is in the wilderness, how could he sleep so soundly? !
"Sister-in-law, are you sure something is coming?" Ge Hu asked softly, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
Liancheng nodded, and pointed to the ventilation hole of his tent, "Just now, I was looking at that thing for a while."
Ge Hu quickly walked to Liancheng's tent, inspected it carefully, and found that the grass there had been stepped on.
"Sister-in-law, we can't continue camping here." Ge Hu suggested with a sullen face, "I wonder if you have rested yet? Let's continue on our way to avoid being attacked by wild beasts in the mountains in the middle of the night."
Liancheng glanced at the night, and then lowered his head to look at the time, "It's only three o'clock, and there should be more than an hour before dawn, so let's not rest, let's just head towards the snow mountain."
Ge Hu quickly put the two tents back together, "Okay, since that's the case, let's head towards the snow mountain!"
The two tents were quickly put away and packed into their hiking bags.
The night was still cold and quiet, and the two silently packed their equipment and headed towards the snow mountain not far away, unaware that in a dark corner, a pair of blood-red eyes were staring at them.
Liancheng and Gehu walked forward for a while, always feeling that there were a pair of vicious eyes staring at them like shadows behind them.
She stopped and looked behind her.
But besides the flowers and plants dancing in the wind, there is only a small mottled soil slope under the moonlight, and there is nothing else.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Ge Hu asked strangely when he saw that Liancheng stopped suddenly while walking.
Liancheng stared carefully behind him for a long while, making sure he found nothing unusual, then shook his head casually, "It's nothing, I always feel like there is something behind me."
Ge Hu looked back, the colorful flowers and plants in the daytime under the night were not at all beautiful, but there was nothing unusual, "It should be nothing, let's hurry up."
"Okay." Liancheng stepped forward, stopped not far away, and walked towards the place where a horse chestnut was picked during the day, "Gehu, there seems to be something wrong here."
"No?" Ge Hu followed him strangely, and when he got to Liancheng, he was surprised to see that there were still some horse chestnuts that hadn't been picked during the day, but now they had been broken one after another, and they were all folded upside down on the ground.
"This is..." The second monk Ge Huzhang couldn't figure it out, "Sister-in-law, is there any beast that likes to eat this thing?"
Liancheng shook his head solemnly, "No, I've checked carefully just now, and there are no animal marks on these horse chestnuts. Obviously, they were deliberately destroyed. Ge Hu, be vigilant, I think We encountered something."
Liancheng's voice was extremely low, but his face remained calm, "Even if you hear footsteps behind you, don't turn your head back. I suspect that thing is following us right now."
Ge Hu suddenly became nervous, and instantly remembered those terrifying rumors in the snow mountain.
However, he quickly snorted, even if there were some Snow Maiden Snow Monsters and the like, it would be a big deal if they encountered them head-on, even if he risked his life, he would definitely not let those guys hurt my sister-in-law in the slightest!
The cool moonlight shrouded the earth, and Liancheng walked side by side with Gehu towards the snow-capped mountains calmly.
They walked very slowly, listening carefully to the sounds behind them.
Sure enough, after a while, they heard a strange sound behind them.
Several times Gehu wanted to turn around and fight head-on with the thing behind him, but was stopped by Liancheng in time, "Don't disturb it for now, let's relax our vigilance on purpose and see what its intentions are."
Ge Hu almost wanted to pay homage to Liancheng beside him. It was still dark, if it was an ordinary woman, she would have been too scared to walk, but his sister-in-law was so calm, she deserved it. She is the eldest woman he admires the most!
