Chapter 1120 That silent night and that plain water figure
/Fastest updates! No ads!
In the camp that was starting to get lively, no one paid attention to Lu Ze who was standing on the Huanglong carriage. Instead, he quickly went to choose his favorite tent.
Each tent can accommodate five people. The quality of the tents is impeccable, and the focus of selection is all on the location of the tents.
"Try to choose a location closer to the inside, especially one close to the guards of the Yan Mansion."
"Don't go there, stay away from the hunters."
"This is a good location...it's so unlucky that I got robbed."
…
Whispers could be heard from time to time on the stone beach, and people were choosing their favorite tents to get in. Some cautious people also arranged their own early warning measures just in case.
Four hunters with shaved heads walked towards the selected tent with scrutinizing eyes. This tent was located outside, somewhat away from the large army.
The only unique feature is that this tent is right next to the huge fog willow tree.
This kind of willow tree with milky white leaves has always grown close to water sources. When it releases carbon dioxide at night, it also releases a unique water mist, which has a slight effect of gathering star power and can feed back the fog willow itself.
Resting under the foggy willows during the day is a good place to enjoy the coolness, but it is a bit humid at night, especially when camping. The return of moisture is serious, so many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the four hunters choosing the location.
"The fatter the sheep, the more they like to cuddle together." The second eldest son in the team, the man with the ugly scarred face, said with a disdainful smile.
"These people really think that the Yan family's money is easy to get, and they are not afraid of losing their lives." The tall man who once teased Zhang Xinghuo did not hide the sarcasm in his words.
"Third brother, please stop talking nonsense. Smell it, it doesn't taste right." The one-eyed boss suddenly frowned and stared into the depths of the dark valley with narrowed eyes.
When the tall man saw his elder brother's expression, he didn't say anything. He jumped directly to the top of a foggy willow tree more than 20 meters high, sniffed, then jumped down and leaned over the tree trunk, lowered his head and fanned his nose with his hands.
"The smell of soil after the rain, the smell of moldy wood, and a little bit of stench, a bit like the smell of sour bamboo shoots... No." Lao San's brows condensed into a knot, and his face looked a little uncertain, "
This is the smell of fermented raw meat, just like the stink of those big guys when they burp!"
"It's horse, it's almost blocked by other smells."
Lao San was in a really bad mood. The "big guys" he referred to generally referred to those ferocious carnivorous behemoths. The abundant star power in Wuyuan Continent often gave birth to many unreasonably powerful creatures.
"The wind in the valley blows outward, and we are downwind, so they will not be more than three kilometers away from here."
The fourth boy, who was the shortest in the team, had a fierce look in his eyes. He wanted to say something but suppressed it in the end. Instead, he laughed "haha" twice.
The one-eyed man looked at the fourth child, who shrank his eyes, looked at the stream next to the stone beach calmly, and looked back with questioning eyes.
The one-eyed man lowered his eyelids.
The fourth child took a breath of cold air between his teeth, then a flash of evil flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly replied with an inexplicable word.
"I see."
As a result, the second child and the third child looked tense and wanted to say something, but when they saw their eldest brother's eyelids drooping, they suppressed the shock in their hearts.
Of course they understand what the fourth child is talking about!
They didn't come here to explore ancient lands at all. The commission paid by the Yan family was just a deposit for them to make a move!
The layout comes from the Tantai family, with one bright line and one hidden line.
On the surface, the Yan family issued recruitment orders and provided unified command, but secretly, powerful individual hunters acted as internal agents to create and coordinate various accidents.
What accident?
Of course it was an accident that killed the explorer.
But what is unexpected is that the time point for activating the hidden line is obviously halfway through the expedition, that is, about two days later. Why... is it advanced to now?
The one-eyed man could see the expressions of the three brothers, but he did not explain them.
He wouldn't say that he just relied on his intuition to make the decision. Just when he smelled the smell, the little uneasiness in his heart began to amplify.
Because the smell was exactly the same as the one he smelled when he accidentally broke into the edge of a forbidden area seven years ago.
My blind eye was lost in it.
The terrifying creatures that emerged from the rising fog at that time are still terrifying to think about now.
He hadn't smelled that stench again in so many years, and when he suddenly smelled it today, the memory that surfaced in the back of his mind made him feel scared.
Being able to survive to this day, apart from being ferocious, I am more cautious.
He instinctively felt that it was absolutely abnormal for a giant carnivorous beast to appear on the edge of a forbidden area!
Therefore, as the boss of the safari, he decisively advanced the plan the moment his intuition gave him feedback, and completed the information communication the moment he looked into the eyes of the fourth child.
In the middle of the night, the fastest-moving Lao Si lured the carnivorous beast, created chaos on the first night after entering Guangxi Ancient Land, and forced his team's action time to advance.
If you complete the task in advance, you can escape early and leave this ancient land full of taboos.
As for the Yan family... Yan Wenchang must be unwilling, after all, this breaks the rules.
but--
No matter how unwilling he was, when the hunters took action, the Yan family could only hold their noses and admit it.
Because this is the overall situation laid out by the Tantai family!
As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, the Yan family has to do it even if they don’t!
The man's remaining single eye flashed with a faint light, and he turned back to the tent.
【The Immortal God will definitely bless me, Wu Liangha.】
…
Although the tent was laid on a relatively dry stone beach, as the time entered into the night, the fog in the valley became thick again, and the inside of the tent began to be covered with a layer of moisture.
The Yan family guards patrolled along the stone beach with torches, and the whispers in the camping area gradually became quiet.
Gradually, even the light of the fire could no longer be seen clearly, and the sounds outside the tent began to become vague.
"The fog is a bit weird, and the five senses seem to be blocked." Zhang Xinghuo looked outside and found that her field of vision was blocked, which made her a little uneasy. But when she saw Lu Ze sitting cross-legged, she felt inexplicably calm.
.
"There are so many warriors in the Yan family, so you can rest assured." Lu Ze closed his eyes and said with a very firm tone.
Zhang Xinghuo curled his lips inadvertently, trying to fool the child again, but why was this serious tone so convincing?
She yawned, decided to get into the sleeping bag, and asked by the way, "Brother Lu, aren't you going to sleep?"
"The same goes for meditating and practicing." Lu Ze closed his eyes again, and his breathing rhythm began to become longer.
Zhang Xinghuo stared with wide eyes for half a minute. After confirming that Lu Ze's aura was integrated with the environment, he fell asleep with admiration on his face...
The night is getting darker.
The outside of the tent also began to become quiet. When the patrol passed by, there was only the sound of footsteps on the stones under their feet.
Although it is very subtle, it is enough to make people feel at ease.
After the practitioners who were still vigilant heard this voice, their tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Each round of patrol takes 10 minutes, a total of 14 rounds of patrol, and there is no deviation in time.
"The guards of the Yan family are doing their job well. Go to sleep..."
Whispers sounded between each team, and more and more people fell asleep.
…
At two o'clock in the morning, when the patrol carrying torches walked to the side closest to the entrance.
Under the fog willow tree, the curtain of the safari's tent opened silently, and a not-so-tall figure floated out like a ghost, adhering lightly to the trunk of the fog willow tree.
His feet never touched the ground. He only used three fingers of his right hand to firmly grasp the smooth surface of the foggy willow and hang his body in mid-air.
A jet black mask covered his face, revealing only a pair of evil eyes.
He is the fourth oldest among the safari hunters!
He glanced around indifferently, raised his left hand, and silently landed on the branch of the fog willow. He pinched it with three fingers, released his right hand, and his whole body flickered to the height of the fog willow like an ape.
There was no breathing during the whole process, and no use of any star power. The powerful and meticulous muscle control was undoubtedly demonstrated.
Holding one hand on the top of the tree, Laosi narrowed his eyes and bent his right index finger forward.
A black butterfly blends into the night and flies deep into the thick fog.
The fourth child just stared motionless into the depths of the night.
After about ten seconds, the black butterfly flew back and landed on his finger again.
Lao Si lowered his head and saw a clear thumb print on the butterfly's wings. Behind the dark mask, the corners of his mouth curved.
Haha, Yan Wenchang still held his nose and admitted it.
The fourth child was so calm that he jumped forward with his arms wide open, piercing the night like an eagle, and disappeared silently into the mist in an instant.
In the Wuyuan Continent, no one knows the art of night walking better than the hunters.
And he, Badalkin, is even known as the Night Owl among the hunters!
【Tonight, let me start this bloody journey.】
…
Quiet campsite.
A new batch of patrol members shuttled between the tents, and their vision fell on each tent.
Rather than patrolling at night, it is more like monitoring the movements of those tents at this moment.
Yan Wenchang stood on the carriage a hundred meters away with his hands behind his hands, closing his eyes and sensing the four directions.
There was no movement in the huge camp.
At this moment, the Yan family guards and the hunters reached a tacit and harmonious unity.
…
In a quiet tent.
A young man who was sitting with his eyes closed opened his eyes.
In the dark night, his eyes were bright and calm.
He stood up gently and opened the curtain gently.
Lean over and tilt your head.
A simple action of holding up the curtain to go out.
…
【Time recovery.】
Time that stood still returns to motion.
The solidified flame continued to dance on the torch.
Yan Wenchang, who was looking at the sky with his hands behind his hands, still looked domineering.
…
The curtains of the tent swayed gently, as if they were inadvertently carried by the night wind, just like countless tents.
But in the original tent, only the sleeping girl and the furball who was also sleeping soundly were left.
