Waking up from a deep sleep late at night, I found that my companions were missing without a trace. This was like a nightmare for everyone.
A whole eleven people are missing!
No clues were left, and there was no movement at all just now.
"Where are the night watchmen? Why didn't they issue a warning?"
Someone asked.
"I don't know, we didn't find anything."
Everyone was breaking out in a cold sweat. They couldn't see their fingers in the dark forest. There was no sound in this area. It was unusually quiet. The only sound was their own heartbeats, which sounded like drums.
"Where are the two people from my clan who are keeping watch at night?"
Someone trembled and said.
Everyone became even more panicked, and even the night watchmen disappeared, totaling thirteen.
When people heard each other's heavier breathing, they were frightened and looked into the depths of the darkness. Was there a pair of vicious eyes watching them there?
Many people were trembling, with chills rising from their spines, and their scalps felt like electricity. This was much more terrifying than meeting an ancestor-level strongman.
They don't even know who their opponent is.
People didn't know what was approaching and whether it would take some people away from them.
This is not a place they have developed. It is an unknown and strange place in hell. Any accidents that are not accepted outside may happen.
Here, it has not yet been understood.
"Everyone, be careful. People of all races gather together, count each other's numbers, and remember the people around you."
In the dark night, Su Hun's voice sounded.
He held Qingling tightly, it was too weird and scary here, far more terrifying than other states.
It would be fine if the others were taken away while they were asleep, but the two night watchmen were also taken away silently, which was terrifying.
Everyone here is a king. Who can take away the king when he cannot resist or even make a sound?
At least he is a great master with ancestral level strength!
After hearing Su Hun's words, people from all races gathered together and then moved closer as a whole.
"Ah wu..."
The cry suddenly sounded. In this originally dead silence, the shrill voice cut through the darkness and made a group of people feel numb. Who is crying?
Everyone fell back, and no one around them made a sound. They were in that unknown dark forest.
"What's nearby?"
A novice who was exploring an unknown area of hell for the first time cried. He regretted why he came to an unknown place. His body was trembling.
As a queen, as long as you make a request, you will be eligible to come to the hell station.
I thought that after arriving at the hell station, following a group of old birds to explore unknown areas would give me greater opportunities, but who knew that the first action would be so terrifying.
"Woo..."
Not far away, there were real sad cries, but they were somewhat different from the cries of ordinary people. They were not so normal, and were colder and more feminine.
"Don't scare yourself, it's a baby bird, it can imitate human voices, it's not a monster!"
A veteran spoke up, saying that he had been to other unknown places with the strong men in the clan. At critical moments, his experience was more useful than some new creation-level kings. At least after being reminded by him, many people felt a little relieved.
Otherwise, with so many people missing and the sound of crying nearby, it would be really frightening, and it would be easy for people to make mistakes one after another in a panic.
But this veteran did not say that the baby birds are bloodthirsty. Their appearance will inevitably lead to a large amount of blood nearby, which deeply stimulates them. They are wandering, trying to get close to the source of blood.
And with so many people missing just now, a veteran can imagine what kind of thing is going on. Most of those people are very miserable.
It was now late at night, and everyone had already lost sleep. In such a strange and terrifying forest, everyone was nervously on guard.
Finally, the darkness gradually dispersed, and a fish belly white appeared in the east.
Some newcomers breathed a sigh of relief. In this dark night, some people almost lost their mentality. Then they came to Yuxian Cliff and lost more than a dozen people in one fell swoop.
As the day dawns, the tension and fear in people's hearts dissipate a lot.
"Let's explore the area."
Someone said that they wanted to see if there were any clues left last night, but they still don’t know what was causing trouble, which is disturbing.
Experts from all sides and creation-level kings were all moved. They wanted to find out what was weird.
Su Hun also walked outside the forest.
"Su Hun, be careful!"
Qingling glanced at him and whispered a reminder.
"I'm going to take a look. Don't wander around."
Su Hun said, he really wanted to check. The thing that kidnapped people last night was so quiet, which made his face look slightly solemn.
At least, he couldn't steal a sober king quietly.
In the early morning, the morning glow falls through the mist into the forest, but it is difficult to dispel the haze in people's hearts.
Su Hun, together with the masters of the Zhao family, Zhao He, Princess Jin, and Mu Fanfan, saw one bloody white skeleton after another two miles away, all hanging on the big tree.
When people came after hearing the news and saw this scene, some novices felt that their calves were shaking and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.
Those white skeletons had some broken flesh on them, and there were large areas of blood on the bones. They were hanging on the treetops like swings, swaying in the wind.
Some people's eyeballs are still there, and they seem to be in endless panic before they die. This is so miserable that while they are scared, everyone is also filled with boundless anger and wants to kill the murderer immediately.
These were all their companions who died miserably here.
But until now, people don't know what is causing the evil.
The leaders of all parties were frowning, and it was a bad start, and it was already like this on the first night!
And they also realized in hindsight that their perception seemed to be weakened invisibly here.
It's not that the enemy's methods of kidnapping are clever, but that their prediction of danger and perception of the outside world have been weakened without their knowledge.
Otherwise, it is only two miles away, and they would not be aware of it at all.
However, some people, despite being able to sense it, found that it was not weakened and their senses were still sharp.
"It should be that our prediction of danger and perception of the environment have been blinded."
Muke sighed. He had heard from the elders that some unknown areas in hell were very strange. It was obvious that everything was being sensed, and it could guide the danger before he was aware of it.
Perception and one's own reactions are delayed.
Hearing their discussion, Su Hun's face turned solemn. This was somewhat similar to the ghost clan's space teleportation technique.
"These people have poison in them."
After testing by Qingling, it was discovered that the remaining flesh and blood of the white skeleton contained hypnotic toxins.
"Everyone, check it out. I guess we all got hit more or less."
Everyone quickly looked inside and activated their spiritual power. Soon, they discovered with ugly faces that these hypnotic toxins were so well hidden that they didn't notice it for a while.
Someone next to me said angrily: "They were dragged away after they fainted. Why did they sleep so deeply last night? We were all poisoned without realizing it."
"But how did we get poisoned?"
"It should be spread through the air. We are most susceptible to poisoning when we are most lax."
Qingling distributed some general detoxification pills to everyone.
Everyone gathered together to study for a long time, but in the end they didn't know what it was that attacked them at night. They had never encountered such a thing before.
Princess Jin suggested: "Let's leave this woodland quickly. I guess the nest of that vicious creature is nearby and it's not safe here."
Even she was afraid. This kind of invisible, intangible, but real enemy made people uneasy.
This place has a psychological shadow on people. No matter what, no one is willing to stay any longer.
Early in the morning, they continued on their way.
Su Hun felt more and more that this place was suitable for him. His physical activity was getting stronger, and the sword energy in the blood in his body was emitting desire.
Unfortunately, it's too dangerous here.
I have to say that although it is dangerous here, the scenery is beautiful. There are colorful light bands in the forest and among the mountain peaks.
Various special energy substances are floating, like fog and smoke, and are illuminated by the sun, which is very magnificent.
…
In the afternoon, they came to a large river and were trying to find a way to cross it, when they noticed something unusual.
The slope on the opposite bank seemed to be covered with sunset and was red. If you look closely, it turned out to be a group of blood rats, as big as a basin. They were piled together and moved forward, making people with trypophobia very uncomfortable.
"The situation is not right. The blood rats are migrating on a large scale. There may be some abnormal situation ahead. We'd better slow down."
A veteran strongly recommends it.
Everyone really felt something was wrong. They had just arrived in an unknown land this time, and they encountered all kinds of anomalies, including dragons, poisons, unknown monsters, baby birds, and migrating blood rats.
They walked along the river and found a suitable place to rest before evening.
This is a dense purple forest. The trees are purple from leaves to trunks, and have a very special smell.
The fruit it bears can be as big as a fist, purple and black, and looks delicious to eat.
Peel off the thin skin a little, and the juice will flow immediately, but it is not fragrant and sweet, but has a pungent and strange smell that is unbearable.
A veteran said loudly: "Everyone, whether you like this smell or not, you must apply it on your body tonight. Not only do you hate it, but all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts also hate it, and they will stay away from this smell."
It did smell bad. Not only did it have a pungent smell, Su Hun felt it also had a slight odor, but he still endured the discomfort and applied it on his body.
He found that Ming Rangyang and Princess Jin were not moving, pinching their noses and not wanting to apply them.
Both of these two people have hot tempers and are so stubborn that it is useless for anyone to say anything.
"Are you...sure you don't want to have some?"
Su Hun's hands were full of juice and he walked towards the two of them.
Ming Rangyang clenched his fists.
"Come here and try."
The golden princess is holding a golden dagger.
"Good intentions are like the liver and lungs of a donkey."
Su Hun didn't bother to pay attention to them and sat down next to Qingling.
"You have a good sleep tonight, and I will keep vigil for you."
Su Hun said.
"Well, be careful too."
Qingling nodded and huddled into her sleeping bag.
As the night got darker, this time, the defense was still the same as last night, and the number of people keeping vigil was not increased because of this.
Su Hun didn't sleep and sat next to Qing Ling. Although he was fully prepared, he was still worried that something unexpected would happen.
Among these people, only Qingling has the deepest relationship with him, and he will never allow anything to happen to Qingling.
