Chapter 9 Midnight

Section 9 in the middle of the night

This is already the fifth day. When the stone saw the small shack he had set up again, he knew that he had completely lost his way. The white dragon stream was a good sign before the end of the world, but now, the ubiquitous vines have already buried everything. The further he goes, the taller and dense the forest is. When covering the sky, you can only faintly see the light, and it is no longer possible to rely on the sun to distinguish the direction. In the first two days, everything went well. Although there were small beasts attacking, in front of Wang Cai, who had a huge size, the timid was scared away. The boldness could not last a round at all. On the contrary, the strange vines that would take the initiative to attack people made this man and beast suffer a lot. Fortunately, it was only the edge of the jungle. Yuan, these vines are still very small, and the binding force is not very strong. With an iron ruler, they can also cut the chaos with a knife. As for Wang Cai, the power of the feet and claws is really horrible, and almost all of those vines are broken inch by inch. It's just that there are too many of these canes, and from time to time they will come out of the soles of their feet, which is impossible to prevent them. So all the way down, this man's body and beast were scarred. Fortunately, his body seemed to have been transformed by green light, and the resilience was amazing. However, the original animal skin clothes on the stone body have now become sore, and they can only be done. The cloth in the box on his back dare not easily wear it. Let's do it first and wait to get out of the bushes. Find a way after the forest. Looking up at the sky, Stone decided to stay overnight first. He patted Wang Cai on his stomach. With a swish, Wang Cai rushed out. With little effort, he came back with two beavers and pulled out the iron ruler tied on his thighs. The stone began to open and peel off the skin. Naturally, the belly he took out was at the bottom of Wang Cai and cleaned up the blood in his hand. Traces, the stone made some dead branches and leaves, rubbed a thin bark into a velvet shape, took out two pieces of flint and hit Mars to ignite the fibrous bark, causing a fire, and then set a bracket on the fire, stringed the two beavers with a sharpened wooden strip, and put them on the shelf to start the barbecue business, in the quiet forest. Slowly spread a strong aroma. The stone slowly turned the wooden strips, and the roasted yellow meat began to ooze a layer of fine oil beads, fell into the fire and beeping. Seeing that the heat was almost over, the stone made a lot of incisions on the barbecue with an iron ruler, took out a handful of salt and sprinkled it evenly into these in the incisions, and roasted it again. After a while, he took off the barbecue and threw one to Wang Cai, but the big guy drooled on the ground, and the remaining one, the stone tore off his two hind legs, carefully wrapped them with two fan-sized fresh leaves, put them in a barnacle, and then sat on the box and ate happily.

Although the jungle is full of invisible dangers, the stones are very satisfied at this moment. Compared with those unfortunate people, it is fortunate that I can still live well at this moment. A few dead branches were thrown into the fire, and the fire was a little bigger, and the fire lit. The stone began to make traps, sharpened some hard wooden branches, seemingly randomly inserted them in some secret places, cut some vines, set up three stumbling ropes where the fire could not shine, and finally made a few ropes. Tied to himself, and then signaled Wang Cai to get into the shack built a few days ago. He climbed up a big branch above the shack and was ready to reach dawn. I hope these settings will not come in handy and allow me to sleep soundly. Stone muttered like this.

The stone lying on the branch can't sleep for a long time. The top of the head is gray. It can't be seen, and you can't know the time in the jungle. It is an instinct to eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are sleepy. I don't know how long such a life will last. I really want to know what the outside world is like! In this kind of nonsense, with the sound of the filars, the stone slowly fell asleep.

I don't know when an instinctive alert woke up the stone. He still maintained his previous sleeping position, motionless, but his heart hung high. After half a sound, he still couldn't feel any movement. I don't know when the fire had been extinguished. The silence around him was terrible, and he could even hear it clearly. Seeing the slight breathing sound of Wang Cai under his feet, he closed his eyes, carefully touched his right leg, slowly pulled out the iron ruler, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. At this time, a wind sounded, accompanied by a strong fishy smell, and saw two faint blue light clusters rushing towards him in mid-air, and the stone shrank all over. When he was about to take action, suddenly there was a "Oh" sound, accompanied by a dull crash sound. Something fell to the ground and bit into a ball. It was not real. With a tragic howling, the voice slowly silenced. Stone knew that Wang Cai easily defeated his opponent again, but when did the boy learn it? After the start, he made himself nervous for nothing, and the stone muttered in his heart. Unconsciously, he has already regarded Wang Cai as his own brother. There was an invisible danger hidden in the dark at any time. The stone did not go down to investigate. He turned over and lay down in the most comfortable position. Wang Cai under the tree slipped into the shack silently and regained tranquility around, as if nothing had happened.

After dawn, Stone was shocked by what he saw. He had never seen such a beast. His heart tightened, called Wang Cai, and carefully checked it before making sure that Wang Cai was not injured. Then he was relieved. However, he was also curious about how the guy came over last night and couldn't feel any movement. The settings on the ground turned into decorations, which was really unprecedented.

Lying on the ground was a one-sized, thin monster covered with golden fluff. When the stone turned over the dead body with a wooden stick, he was stunned. This was completely an enlarged version of the bat, slowly spreading the pair of meat wings. The monster's wings were three meters long, looking at the eyes twice his own. With the collapsed nose and the huge ears standing up, the stone's mood suddenly became heavy. Unexpectedly, the small bat could also mutate into such a huge size. Isn't other beasts even more amazing! No wonder this guy was able to approach himself silently last night and dared to glide in the air. However, Stone's heart is also full of doubts. It's winter now. Although it hasn't started snowing yet, should the bat also start to hibernate in the cave?

Pulling out the iron ruler, the stone pried open the bat's closed mouth and wanted to study its teeth. Just as the right wrist was close to the bat's head, the one eye of the monster on the back of the hand suddenly lit up. A white light flashed. With a sound of waves, the bat on the ground was suddenly vaporized and disappeared without a trace, only in the air. Leaving a burning strange smell, a green mist appeared in the air. Just as the stone was stunned, the mist was as if it had been sucked by something, and was continuously absorbed by strange insects. In an instant, the stone felt a coolness in his eyes and a slight swelling pain. He rubbed his eyes for a while. When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him became particularly clear and bright. He blinked his eyes and was surprised to find that he had gained the ability of night vision and farsightedness. As long as he concentrated, he could clearly see the texture details on the bark 200 meters away. There was a burst of ecstasy in the stone's heart, which was in the dark jungle! It seems that we need to kill more monsters. After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong. Why didn't there be such a phenomenon before? Is it only this kind of mutant beast beyond common sense? It seems that we need to experiment more in the future.

Thinking of what happened last night, Stone began to be cautious and must cross the jungle as soon as possible, but thinking of the ability he has gained now, Stone suddenly looked forward to it. It seems that if he wants to become stronger, he must go deeper into the jungle.

It should be breakfast. He and Wang Cai solved a barbecue left last night. The stone took out two bamboo tubes and pulled out the cork. Wang Cai immediately came over his mouth and carefully poured a bamboo tube of water into Wang Cai's mouth. He stuffed the plug, drank all the water from the other bamboo tube, and shook the bamboo tube. It seemed that he had to find water. But here, in the dark, although my eyesight has improved now, I can't tell the direction at all. What should I do if the stone is worried? He has no idea in his mind. In the past, Grandpa taught him a lot of ways to identify the direction, but in the depths of the jungle, in the dark environment all year round, trees have no sunrise at all. Anyway, first explore the way and then find a way, put on the rattan box, pull out the stone out the iron ruler, and begin to explore the surroundings vigilantly. Not very well, Wang Cai Suddenly, he became alert. Stone's heart tightened and squatted down carefully. After a while, with the sound of sand, a small beast ran over from afar. As he ran, he sniffed his nose on the ground. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to their hidden place, Stone sensed the abnormal movement of Wang Cai beside him and stretched out his hand. Stopping it, Wang Cai calmed down and saw that the little beast suddenly stopped, sticking out his tongue and carefully licking a leaf. Looking at a few drops of crystal dew on the leaf, the stone suddenly moved, and the little thing was looking for water to drink. It seems that as long as you follow this little guy far away, there should be no problem finding a water source. Therefore, a man and a beast hung far behind the unknown beast, walking, stopping, stopping and walking. The little guy was very alert. With a slight wind blowing, he immediately pricked up his ears and stood still. He looked around with a look of vigilance until it was confirmed that he was safe. He continued to walk through the forest, and he didn't know if he had never knew it. For a long time, there was a faint sound of running water, and the little beast's feet were also happy. The stone was happy and seemed to arrive. At this moment, a sudden change suddenly appeared, and a slender thing penetrated the body of the little beast and bound it to death. The little beast twitched for a while and there was no more movement, but The body seems to have shrunk a lot. The stone could see clearly in the distance. When the change suddenly occurred, it clearly stretched out a vine from the pile of dead leaves underground and directly penetrated the little beast, and then wrapped around the little beast a few times. Then, something like a snake's head plunged into the body of the little beast and quietly seemed to be sucking blood. In order to confirm his guess, it also seemed In order to avenge the cute little beast, the stone rushed out. At the moment when the rattan was about to retract to the ground, a cold light flashed, and the air was filled with a layer of blood fog, leaving a vine about a meter long on the ground, which twisted like a snake for a few times and did not move again. The stone waved the iron ruler and cut it into several sections, and then picked up a piece and studied it carefully. Yes, this is indeed a vine. It feels hard and rough. The thumb is about the thickness and the flexibility is quite strong. The vine is hollow and tubular. The stone peels the vine skin. Sure enough, there are fresh blood stains on the pipe wall. Blood-sucking rattan? Stone wondered that this was completely beyond his cognition. It seemed that the more he went in, the more horrible it was. He didn't expect that even plants could become so bloodthirsty. Previously, the rattan on the edge of the jungle could only be entangled, and it seems that the mutation is still progressing slowly. The stone pushed away the dead leaves around and carefully searched for a while, but found nothing, "Where is this guy's root hiding?" Stone was puzzled. After thinking about it, he gave up. Finding the water source is the key now. Looking back, the stone suddenly patted Wang Cai's head vigorously. Wang Cai lowered his voice and retreated to the side. He looked at the body of the little beast that fell to the ground and drooled helplessly. Stone stared fiercely at Wang Cai, sighed, carefully buried the body of the little beast, cleaned the blood stains on the iron ruler with leaves, and groped for the place where the sound of running water came.

The emperor lived up to their hearts. When they saw a bright light, they finally found a water source. This is a canyon with a wide field of vision. If it hadn't been for the sound of water, they wouldn't have been able to find it even if they walked nearby. Although this is winter, it is still full of vitality, insects and birds singing, and a large area of green cover everything. There are bushes that are as tall as one person. Famous and unknown plants are intertwined, and many vines are intertwined and hanging over the stream. Stone looked at all this quietly and was full of joy. As long as they were no longer separated from the stream and headed in the opposite direction of the current, they would never get lost, and they would not have to face all kinds of unknown dangers like headless flies in the dark jungle. Stone looked up at the position of the sun overhead and stopped at a high ground. It should be almost afternoon now. It seems that he can only move forward tomorrow. He bent down and waved the iron ruler to clean up the overgrown branches beside his feet. After a while, an open space of about six square meters appeared in front of him. The stone looked around. While it was still early, he wanted to build a shelter from the wind, but he had to fill his stomach first. Wang Cai around him had already been eager to try. It seemed that this big guy was early. I'm hungry. Looking at Wang Cai's expectant eyes, Stone smiled and did not let it catch its prey. He touched the long golden hair on Wang Cai's neck, pointed to the white stream in the distance and said, "Today, let's change our taste and eat grilled fish!"
