With the previous experience, everyone was more careful on the next road. Fortunately, this virgin forest was large enough. Even if there were hundreds of monster hunters scattered in this forest, it would still be insufficient manpower. In addition, there were many people in the forest.
There are so many hiding places, no wonder the monster hunter never found Xue Yue.
The deeper you go, the more rugged the road becomes. In other words, there is hardly anything that can be called a "road" in the dense forest. There are jagged trees and drooping vines everywhere, and occasionally you can hear the sounds of wild beasts.
, a primitive scene.
But thinking about it from another angle, in an undeveloped place, the traces of monster hunters' activities are becoming more and more obvious. Relying on this, they can at least judge whether there are monster hunters nearby along the way.
"There are a lot of spiders and snakes in here..." Ye Xiaoying casually picked up a small green snake that was attacking her and threw it far away.
Mo Xiao deeply agreed. These poisonous things hidden in the dark were quite annoying. Even monsters would feel troublesome if they were bitten by something highly poisonous. They met three or four snakes along the way.
, if ordinary people are not prepared to go into this depth, I am afraid they will have to come out sideways.
"Lingdang, don't you think there are too many snakes, insects, birds and beasts when you live here? What should you do if you are injured if you are attacked?" Mo Xiao asked softly.
Ling Dang's ears twitched and replied: "Of course not. Wild beasts can't catch us. Even if we are poisoned, Sister Yue can help us force out the poison. And in recent years, we have found a place in the forest that was built by humans before.
There’s no one inside the temple for a long time, and it’s more comfortable than living in a cave.”
"Temple?"
Everyone was wondering, what crazy person would build a temple in this deserted place deep in the forest? Where would the pilgrims come from? What would the monks in the temple eat? No matter how you think about it, it feels nonsense.
Ye Xiaoying tried to find the reason: "Maybe it was built hundreds of years ago. Maybe this was a small town or village before..."
"Such a big change can happen in a few hundred years?" Shu Mo couldn't believe it. Although he was a monster, he was still young.
"I can't say for sure... Look, I have only slept for a hundred years. When I woke up, I could hardly recognize the words. This change was not only a change in the world, I thought I had traveled to a different world."
Ye Xiaoying sighed unconsciously. She now spends several hours every day making up for classes. Just clarifying common sense has already taken a lot of time. She can only use electronic products such as TVs, computers, and mobile phones.
That’s all.
"Putting aside the temple matters for now, how far have we come?"
Mo Xiao looked up at the sky. It had been more than five hours since they set out. They had to be careful about catching monsters along the way. The terrain was winding and the traveling speed was naturally not fast. They didn't know how far they were from Xueyue.
"I don't know, it's about thirty kilometers away." Patty roughly estimated, "How is the situation with the snow and ice crystals?"
"We should be very close to Sister Yue." Lingdang said excitedly. If she hadn't been injured on her leg, she would have jumped for joy by now.
The mist emitted by the snow and ice crystals has become much thicker than at first. This is a sign that the distance is shortened and the connection is gradually strengthening.
"Shu Mo, have you found any monster hunters nearby?" Mo Xiao asked.
"No, the monster hunter hasn't found this area yet."
"That's good."
Mo Xiao's tense face finally had a smile.
"Don't be too hasty to be happy, the situation is a little weird."
Ye Xiaoying looked at the snow ice crystal in Lingdang's hand and said: "This kind of object related to the body is getting closer. It stands to reason that Xue Yue has feelings. We are all here, so she should show up to see her, right?" "Perhaps she thought the monster hunter had obtained the snow ice crystal and was luring her out?"
"Then she's still frozen in place and won't run away? We're not very fast. If she wants to run away...huh?"
Before Ye Xiaoying finished speaking, the mist emitted by the snow and ice crystals suddenly no longer condensed into one, but scattered in all directions. Everyone was shocked when they saw it, something went wrong at this critical moment, can't they be so unlucky?
"We...we have arrived at the place where Sister Yue is hiding, but where are Sister Yue's people?"
Bell was holding the snow ice crystals happily and eagerly, looking around with her big black eyes, but apart from the plants they had already seen a lot, where was Xue Yue's figure?
"Moon...um."
Ling Dang was extremely anxious and even shouted. Fortunately, Mo Xiao quickly covered her mouth in time: "Let's look for it slowly. Don't shout, it will attract the enemy's attention."
Lingdang nodded timidly, and Mo Xiao removed his hand covering his mouth.
Ye Xiaoying glanced around and asked: "Lingdang, please confirm again, we have arrived at Xue Yue's hiding place?"
"Yes, whenever Sister Yue comes close to us, the snow and ice crystals will turn into this." Ling Dang nodded quickly.
"This is strange... No matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, Xue Yue doesn't show up to take a look?" Ye Xiaoying jumped up to the treetop with quick movements, her eyes turned into vertical pupils, carefully inspected the surroundings, and asked
He said, "Smelly rat, isn't your perception very strong? Have you noticed anything?"
Shu Mo squinted his eyes and said, "If so, should I use you to remind me?"
Shu Mo closed his eyes slightly, sat cross-legged on Mo Xiao's shoulders, and concentrated on sensing the creatures around him, but he did not detect the aura of anyone else.
In Shu Mo's opinion, there are only two possibilities, either Xue Yue can transcend his perception, or there is no such person here at all.
However, it can completely block one's own perception. With this ability, Xue Yue would have escaped on her own a long time ago. It would not be their turn to come and become heroes. Therefore, Shu Mo subconsciously believed in the second one, but he did not say it out loud. The first was
He couldn't bear to see Ling Ding disappointed. Secondly, because of Xue Bing Jing's direction, maybe things were not as simple as he imagined.
Mo Xiao clapped his hands gently: "Then everyone spread out and look around carefully. The situation is not right. Everyone, please be careful."
They separated. The cat girl shuttled between the branches. Patty used magic to give birth to several blood bats. Even Shu Mo jumped off his shoulders and became as big as a person and searched the ground carefully.
"We have to play hide-and-seek at the end of the level..." Mo Xiao muttered and started to search.
As time passed, the group of them searched all over the area. Not to mention finding the person, there was not even a single valuable clue. Everyone got back together and found nothing.
After being silent for a while, Ye Xiaoying slapped her thigh and said: "In this situation...either there is a problem with Xue Bingjing's induction, or there is a problem with Xue Yue's body."
Mo Xiao did not speak, but hammered the tree trunk next to him with some annoyance. The sound that came out made everyone stunned. It seemed... hollow?
Everyone looked at the huge tree Mo Xiao was leaning against. It took at least five adults to hold hands to hug it. They looked at each other. Mo Xiao stepped forward and gently opened the vines covering the trunk.
A tree hole suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
A feeling of anticipation suddenly arose in Mo Xiao's heart. After the group walked into the tree hole, what they saw immediately surprised everyone.
