Chapter 44 The Thrilling Night Forest
Litian observed the cave carefully. Just now, he felt that this was not an ordinary cave. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. There are many strange and shining things in this cave. Litian has no idea what these substances are.
, but he could feel the presence of strong Yang energy on it.
"How did you discover this cave?"
Litian asked, and after hearing his words, Bao'er also looked at the surrounding walls and sighed.
"This place was discovered by a group of our friends at that time. We wanted to get through this forest. Since you want to ask, I will tell you all the conditions here."
Bao'er looked at Litian and Yuting and said, after hearing the other party's solemn words, Litian knew that the situation here might be very special. Reminiscent of the fear that the other party had just looked at the darkness outside, Litian knew what happened this time
It's not that simple anymore.
"I said before that we, the Tucker people, used to know Taoism, but it has been lost now. Our mountain village is surrounded by forests on all sides. We have also lived in this place for generations, but it is not because we are unwilling.
We go out because we can't get out. This forest has become a night forest. Entering it is like entering a dark night. The forest inside is completely dark. This is especially true at night, but this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that this forest can kill people in the dark."
Bao'er looked at Yu Ting and Li Tian and said heavily. After hearing each other's words, Yu Ting was already close to Li Tian. Li Tian knew that this girl was timid, so he also hugged each other slightly.
Soothe the other person's fears.
"That means it's hard for you to get out of this forest, right? Do you know why this forest kills people?"
Litian looked at the other party seriously and said, and Bao'er also nodded.
"Originally we were very curious about this, and then we, my young and ignorant companions, wanted to get out of this place and uncover this secret. We walked into the forest. This place has the best weather during the day.
It was poisonous snakes and the like. We walked very safely during the day. We were not afraid of these poisonous snakes at all, but this forest was far more than that. That night we saw the most terrifying thing, which was the poisonous snake.
.”
After Bao'er said this, he paused. The other person's eyes were very frightening, as if it was something she didn't want to recall. Litian also looked at the other person closely. He wanted to know the whole situation. If he didn't know the situation,
Maybe they would be in danger, so he needed to know the situation.
"Baoer, I hope you can tell me everything. If I don't know anything, I can't help you at all. If you want me to help you, at least let me know everything."
Litian looked at the other person and said, after hearing what he said, Bao'er also took a deep breath and nodded firmly with eyes, and the other person went on to tell their story.
"We thought there was nothing during the day, but before we knew it, night had begun to fall. We wanted to find a place to have a good rest first. After all, it is not easy to drive at night and we can't see anything, but here we are.
At that time, something terrible happened. In addition to countless bugs found underground, those bugs did not eat anything else. They launched an attack just like us. I saw with my own eyes that my companions were eaten up by those bugs, and even
There were no bones. They ate so fast, it took just a moment. Later, I and other people kept running away, but it was useless and we couldn't escape from this place at all. The whole land here is like this.
Bugs, finally at the critical moment we found this cave with the help of bright light, but in the end I was the only one who escaped into this place. Everyone else was dead, and there was no trace of their bodies."
When Baoer talked about this incident, her whole body kept shaking, as if the terrible scene was staged in front of her. After hearing this, Yuting had already buried her head deeply in Litian's arms.
, obviously extremely scared. Litian had already seen things like ghosts and monsters before, and didn't think anything of it.
"Then I kept running away during the day. I originally wanted to go back to the village because I was too scared of the forest. But then I realized that now that I was out of the forest, I came to the outside world. Over the years
I looked carefully and found out which bugs should be the so-called Gu worms. Later, I guessed that it should be when the ancestors were refining the Gu worms, the Gu worms were lost as they continued to develop, and now the Gu worms have developed
It’s reached this level.”
Bao'er then spoke. After hearing Bao'er's words, Litian had been thinking about a question, which was why they were attacked.
"Bao'er, have you been back to this place in these years?"
Litian suddenly looked at Bao'er nervously and said, Bao'er was slightly startled after hearing his words, and then nodded.
"I've been back several times, what's wrong?" Bao'er asked doubtfully.
"Every time you come back or go out, are you alone and no one else?" Litian said nervously again.
"People in the village don't want to go out with me, and I can't bring others into our place, so I come here by myself. Is there any problem? Litian." Baoer confirmed Litian's words.
Hearing Litian's unprovoked question, Bao'er and Yuting both looked at Litian nervously and said. After hearing what the other person said, Litian was finally convinced.
"Don't ask any questions, just run away with me. There should be an exit from this place. Talk as you run."
Litian shouted loudly, and then without saying a word, he carried Yuting on his back and hurried towards the depths of the cave entrance. Baoer also looked at Litian strangely, and then followed Litian without saying a word.
Go towards the depths of the cave.
"What happened in Litian? At least explain it first!"
Baoer caught up with Litian and said, Yuting also looked at Litian in confusion. The two women didn't understand why Litian suddenly wanted to run away for his life, and Litian looked at the two women helplessly.
"Because the voodoo should grow by eating yang energy. Our people have a lot of yang energy, so you people will become the targets of the voodoo that night. And the reason why those poisonous snakes did not suffer is because poisonous snakes are cold-blooded animals.
, the yang energy on their bodies is smaller than the yin energy, so they feel like yin energy. Of course these Gu insects are not interested in this, so you become their target."
Litian looked at Bao'er and said. After hearing what the other party said, the two women looked at Litian with wide eyes.
"But why didn't they enter this cave when they entered it? This is where I escaped."
After hearing what Litian said, Baoer said in disbelief that she could not understand Litian's logic.
"I was also confused about this, but I finally figured it out just now. There is a lot of Yang Qi in this cave. I don't know the reason. If Gu insects want to survive, they must eat Yang Qi, so I think the reason why they can
The reason why they have reproduced to this extent is because of this cave, which is where they eat. The situation you mentioned before was all done by yourself, and the Gu insects should gather at the entrance of the cave at most!"
Litian asked with bright eyes, and Baoer nodded after hearing Litian's analysis.
"Yes, although I see Gu worms every time in the cave, they seem to ignore me. Instead, they keep wandering in the cave. Is it not that they are afraid of this cave, but because they eat at the entrance of the cave?"
Bao'er said with wide eyes.
"I'm afraid you guessed it right. They must have been eating at the entrance of the cave at that time, because they thought that the meat on your body was not as good as the yang energy in the cave, so they did not attack you, but this time it is different. We
There are three people, and the amount of yang energy in these three people is enough for them to attack us, so we have no choice but to run for our lives. Otherwise, we will definitely be bitten to death by these poisonous insects."
Litian said loudly. After hearing his final judgment, both Yuting and Bao'er's eyes widened, especially Bao'er's whole body was trembling. Thinking of such a terrifying Gu insect, she felt it.
fear.
"Don't think about it anymore. If you don't want to die, hurry up and speed up. As long as we can go deep into the mountain city, no matter how high the Yang Qi of the three of us is, these Gu insects will obediently suck the Yang Qi of the cave and won't eat us.
of."
Litian gave the only hope of survival and spoke. After hearing what the opponent said in return, Baoer quickly speeded up her pace. Her speed even surpassed Litian. It was also because Litian was now carrying Yuting on his back, so the three of them sped up.
He quickly went towards the depths of the cave. Litian's brows also frowned. He didn't expect that he and others had not yet eliminated the ghosts! They encountered such a life-and-death crisis first. Litian was 100% sure of his guess.
That's right. Now he just hopes that it's not too late, otherwise it will be too late when the Gu insects surround them.
The dark earth in the night forest suddenly started to roll, as if the whole earth had been shaken. The whole earth was rolling like waves. Then strange-shaped insects crawled out of the earth one after another.
Their bodies were completely dark, but their two eyes were emitting a strange green light. These Gu worms were heading towards the cave that was constantly emitting light, which was the place they went to every night.
It is impossible to count the number of Gu worms heading towards the mountain capital. If the three people in Litian saw this scene, their scalps would probably go numb. But now they have predicted all this, and they are now working hard towards the Yang Qi deep in the cave.
Leaving a prosperous place. Litian now just hopes that everything will be done in time.
