Chapter 64: The Edge of the Forest Uncovered by the Wildfire
(Please vote, thank you all!)
As time goes by, more and more birds fly across the night sky.
In the hazy night, Yun Buliu could vaguely see some giant raptors with extremely scary wingspans slowly passing through the sky.
The goshawk, which usually has a wingspan of one or two meters, is just a small black dot in the sky. You can imagine how scary this giant raptor must be.
For just a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was plunged into darkness.
Fortunately, these raptors disappeared into the darkness in a hurry before he could recover.
In the second half of the night, the birds flying over the lake were no longer the giant raptors in twos and threes, but birds that were already in patches. And they were no longer passing by quietly, but
The pounding was accompanied by a chattering feeling of panic.
This kind of panic also grew in the hearts of Yun Buliu and Xiao Maoqiu.
The little white snake, which had been sleeping in the animal skin of the wicker chair for a long time, also slipped down from upstairs, coiled up on Yun Buliu, raised its little head, looked at the night sky in the distance, opened its mouth and hissed.
The little tiger was spinning around at his feet, letting out a low growl in its throat.
Yun Buliu frowned and sat down, stroking the long hair of the little fur ball and rubbing the back of the little milk tiger to soothe their uneasy emotions.
He knew that the flaming clouds on the horizon were not real flaming clouds. After all, this was not the modern city full of neon lights he had stayed in. In this mountain forest, it was impossible for any flaming clouds to appear at night. If they did, it would definitely
There was a fire or water leak somewhere.
In other words, this vast mountain is on fire.
Thinking that the forest fire was spreading in this direction, Yun Buliu couldn't help but feel frightened.
The current season is late autumn, when the weather is dry and things need to be careful. If a wildfire occurs at this time, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
Moreover, before the mountain fire spreads in this direction, there must be countless wild beasts in the mountains who are one step ahead of the fire and rush towards this direction.
Thinking of the majestic scene of all the beasts galloping, Yun Buliu felt chills running down his spine.
what to do?
Want to go hide in the big lake?
But in addition to the big crocodiles in the lake, there are also unknown monsters!
Yun Buliu couldn't help but become anxious secretly. Although there were usually no ferocious beasts willing to come to the lake, but who knew if those beasts would still be afraid of this place in this panic?
Those raptors have room to move around in the air, but the beasts on the ground might be squeezed here.
After thinking for a long time, he prepared to take them to the lakeside, thinking of sinking into the lake to hide at the critical moment. As a result, the little fur ball was not willing to go to the big lake at all, and even bared his teeth at him.
He knew that if he continued to force it, it would probably give him a shot.
In desperation, he had no choice but to give up forcing it, and was prepared to wait until he had no choice. Even if he tried to get hit by it, he would have to drag it into the lake together.
The distance from the terrace of Xiaozhulou to the big lake is less than forty meters. At his current speed, he can enter the lake in less than a second, so there is no need to worry about escaping.
After thinking about it, he ran into the cave again, brought out some firewood, and lit a large bonfire around the small bamboo house, letting the firelight illuminate the grassland and the bamboo house to drive away wild beasts.
More than an hour later, I finally heard the sound of a wild animal running in the forest.
Yun Buliu climbed to the top of the small bamboo building and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance.
Under the moonlight, shadows appeared in the forest, accompanied by panicked roars and the crunching sounds of trees being knocked down.
A feeling of earth shaking followed, as if the whole earth was trembling.
He even vaguely saw occasional black shadows like mountains moving in the distance.
In this dark night, he couldn't see too far, and he couldn't see clearly. He didn't know whether those black figures were the figures of giant beasts?
If those black shadows were really giant beasts, it was really hard for him to imagine how many super giant beasts like this were hidden in this vast mountain?
And how terrifying would it be if such a super monster started to surge?
Unexpectedly, a mountain fire actually made him see these giant birds of prey. Seeing these giant birds of prey, he felt a little pitiful.
He suddenly felt so lucky that he ran to the edge of the big lake. Although there might be some unknown monster in the lake, it was at least much stronger than the super beasts he encountered just now.
After all, the monster that may exist in this lake never appears.
What made him feel even more fortunate was that although the beasts were in a panic, there were no ferocious beasts running towards the lake. They all seemed to be subconsciously avoiding this place.
Including the giant raptors, none of them seemed to want to come here, or thought that it might not be safe. They seemed to be running forward based on instinct.
Even if some weak beasts were squeezed out and ran to the lake, they would turn around and join the fleeing army because of the blazing fire around the small building.
Looking at the direction in which these beasts were fleeing, Yun Buliu silently prayed for the monkeys.
The fruit forest where the monkeys are located is two or three miles away from the big lake, and the cliff where the monkeys are staying is five or six miles away. Those panicked beasts will not have any fear of it.
If there was a conflict between the monkey group and this group of beasts, they would probably be torn into pieces in minutes. Not to mention accidentally running into those fleeing super beasts.
However, in this darkness, let alone Yun Buliu, he did not dare to run around. Even in broad daylight, he did not dare to move when facing those giant beasts!
He could only hope that the monkey's luck would be better.
Wow…
In the darkness, the sound of splashing water suddenly came from the surface of the big lake.
The sound almost startled him.
Fortunately, such sounds happened in several places at the same time, and there were also the whines of some wild animals coming from the lake, which made him sigh in relief.
He estimated that a wild animal must have been accidentally washed into the lake when crossing the river, causing the crocodiles to compete for food.
Sure enough, not long after, many wild beasts were lucky enough to crawl out of the lake, but they were too frightened by the fire beside the small bamboo building to dare to approach it.
They ran towards the mountain forest, only to find that the grassland by the lake was actually seven or eight meters high from the grove above. Some petite beasts could not climb up at all.
So he could only anxiously wander back and forth at the base of the mountain, whining, as if calling for his companions.
It's a pity that there are no wild animals to control them.
Yun Buliu didn't care about them, as long as they didn't get close to the small bamboo house.
That night, he didn't go to sleep, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. Not only was he worried that the wildfire would spread here, but he was also worried that wild beasts would accidentally run over. At the same time, he was even more worried about whether the monsters that might exist in the lake would be constantly destroyed.
How do you lure out the beasts that rush into the lake?
He just sat there, listening to the sounds of wild beasts galloping, mournful wails, big trees falling down, and the earth shaking.
These sounds gathered together seemed to play a tragic song of heaven and earth.
The army of beasts seemed to be endless. They ran continuously for several hours without ending. It was not until a trace of fish belly white floated on the horizon that the army of beasts gradually disappeared.
