Chapter 12 The big centipede
The wilderness is deserted, and the darkness in the distance occasionally sounds the night fox cry.
The old and collapsed hut was burning, and the sparks burst into the air occasionally. The snoring sounds in the hut were undulating. A few steps away from the eight people who were resting, the boy quietly looked through the book "Create Dreams and Make Up for the Dreams" in his hand.
The sound of a whistle.
The pages of the book flipped through his fingers, and the dim fire shone on 6 Liangsheng's face, frowned slightly.
"This book is a technique recorded in "Shiyi of Nanshui". It is a method of expelling insects and animals and taking roots from dead trees. Master, if this technique is used in our village, it would be considered a blessing, right?"
He turned his head and looked at the package leaning against the wall. Seeing that there was no response, he called out softly.
"Master?"
The wind blew through the forest outside, causing a rustling sound. The eight people sleeping sounded slightly. Some people stood up from the fire. This was the leader of the trip. The hunters in the village were quite sensitive to the movements in the mountains.
"Uncle Pan, what's wrong?" 6 Liangsheng held the book and followed.
6 When I walked to the window, the ashes-dipped spider web swayed on it, and my eyes were a little solid. Looking out from here, it was pitch black outside. I don’t know when the stars and moon above my head were covered by the clouds.
Then, he frowned and said, "I feel like there is something outside, it seems like I'm coming down from the mountain..."
The forest was rustling and the wind blew from outside, swaying the flames from both sides. The other seven people also woke up, feeling the atmosphere was a little solidified, and they turned out hunting knives or hatchets to hold them in their hands.
One of the tall and thin village men whispered: "Can it be a big bug?"
"We have many people, and the big insects can still deal with it. If you encounter a group of wolves, you will be in trouble."
6 I hope that such words will always cause people's tension. Everyone is from the mountains and knows that no matter whether they encounter big insects or wolves, it is not a good thing.
The night forest is quiet, and unknown beasts occasionally sound outside, rustling by. The thick fallen leaves make the atmosphere even more mysterious and tense.
6Peng clamped the handle of the knife, turned around and walked towards the crooked door, and pushed it open with a squeak.
"Let's go out and have a look. Liangsheng stays in the house. Don't leave the house casually when you hear anything."
The other seven people looked at each other and told 6 Liangsheng a few words.
"Liangsheng, there are many poisonous insects and wild animals at night, don't go out..." "When we come back, I will peel you a wolf skin." "Look at your luggage carefully, don't lose our food."
"Go away, go away, and you can sleep more when you come back."
In the voices of all speech, the seven people disappeared into the night with Liu Pan. Liu Liangsheng closed the door and walked back to open the package beside the wall. There was no figure of a toad inside.
Sit back to the fire, pick up the books on the ground, and look at the swaying flames.
"Where is Master, are you worried that Uncle Pan and the others will follow you out?"
As he frowned, the wind in the hall squeezed out of the window and drifted towards the forest. In the black outline, trees were swaying one after another. A short toad crossed the stream and ran into the forest with its short legs.
"I'm so angry that I'm so angry that a little demon actually bullied me."
The dense lumps behind him were lilac. When they passed a big tree, they suddenly turned around and sprayed a mouthful of the huge black shadow chasing behind them. The lilac smoke was nailed like arrows. The next moment, the sharp and long hissing sounded. Several trees were arched over, and they were poured over with their dense branches and leaves.
Taoist Zixing was also blew up on the ground by a sudden gust of wind. When he got up, the black shadow that was winding and climbing, and the hard shell in the middle of his head rotted out a scar.
As the insects were screaming, the long beard swept across the fury, and the toad turned around and ran away. On the ground that had just stopped, a tree broke and the wood chips splashed.
The Toad Taoist has run a long distance.
"When I recover my cultivation level, I will come to settle the score with you-"
...
At the foot of the mountain, in the dark forest, the group of people who went out to check were touching in the direction of movement.
In the shadows, we were talking in a low voice.
"........is no longer moving?"
"A beast must have passed by here just now..."
“Be careful.”
At this moment, a black shadow rushed over from the eight people's feet, and the thin tall man subconsciously avoided and leaned against his companion.
"Something just passed."
6 Looking back: "It may be a fox..."
The next moment he spoke, the forest above was clamoring, and the trees were tilted left and right. In the forest, countless birds flew out in panic, circling above the black forest.
"What's it?!" someone shouted in panic.
"Come toward this side!"
In between breaths, 6 Pan held the hunting knife, his hands were covered in cold sweat, staring at the direction, the grass and trees were shaking wildly, dense insect feet were trampling, and the dark red links of hard shells twisted, rushing into the sight of the group.
"Centipede—"
"A monster!"
The moment the panic scream sounded, someone rushed out to avoid it. Liu Pan almost instinctively swung his hunting knife, and he didn't know where the chop was. The crisp sound of the slam bounced up like a ironclad. The force of the recoil was almost unable to hold the handle of the knife, and he stumbled and took two steps back. A series of long feet almost hit the distance between the tip of his nose, and cut through his eyes.
"My mother..."
6 Pan then saw how big the thing was. He screamed in fear and fell to the ground. However, the huge body in the past ignored them. A gust of fishy wind whistled and disappeared in the forest in the blink of an eye, leaving only the surrounding branches shaking.
A few leaves fell down.
The panic-unrest 6 hope stood up from the ground in a shaking voice, and spoke with a tremolo: "How are you? Are you injured?!"
Around him, 66, there were companions' voices answered, probably because they were not injured or were a little limp, and were somewhat frightened, and hesitantly couldn't speak.
"It's fine..."
6Pang calmed down his breath and suddenly turned his face suddenly.
"It's broken!! Liangsheng is still in the hut."
The rest of the people reacted and looked at the direction of Liu Pan and the hut.
"What should we do, 6-header... do we... go back?"
6 He swelled his cheeks, his eyes flashed with complex expressions, and hesitated for a moment: "No matter how we say it is, Liangsheng's elders. If we run away, we will be stabbed by someone. Let's go back--"
At the foot of the mountain, gentle slopes, and collapsed thatched huts on half.
In the window frame where the flames were cast, the young man sitting upright holding the book, his shadow was cut on the wall, and a slight sound of reading was heard. He occasionally closed his eyes and remembered what he had read in his heart.
The burning dead wood popped out and sparks of Mars. When I opened my eyes, there was a hint of worry in my eyes.
"Why haven't come back yet..."
For a moment, there was a clattering sound in the wind outside. A short figure of black painted black came in.
"Master?"
Taoist Zixing didn't say a word, kicked his legs, and scurried into the package placed beside the wall, stretched out a frog web to cover the hole.
Over there, 6 Liangsheng blinked his eyes and as soon as he got up, the spider webs on the window lattice blew up, and dust filled his face.
"Ahem...."
The boy sniffed the dust with a book, and then he smelled a fishy smell, cracking... A dense, numbing scalp sounded in a series of sounds, as if something had crawled over.
6 Liangsheng withdrew his gaze from the package and looked back outside.
Outside the window frame, a pair of red lanterns were looking in, looking at the boy.
