Chapter 106 The Sound of the Wind at Night
The sky gradually darkened.
The cave where we rested last night could not be returned. The current location was far away from the cave, and Li Qingzhou could not tell the direction at all. Even if he wanted to return to the cave, he could not do it.
He could only rest next to this stream for one night.
"Taiping, go to the forest and catch two fierce beasts and bring them back for barbecue tonight." Li Qingzhou instructed Taiping.
When Taiping heard about eating barbecue, his eyes lit up and his saliva flowed down uncontrollably. He remembered the delicious roasted rabbit meat and bear meat he had eaten at noon yesterday.
Li Qingzhou and Ping An found some dead branches nearby and made a fire on the spot.
After a while, the stone monkey Taiping caught a big-horned deer from the forest.
Li Qingzhou handled the deer meat skillfully and grilled it.
One person and two beasts held the barbecue and ate it contentedly.
The night gradually deepened, and the forest was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The stone monkey Taiping dozed off by the fire, his eyes slightly closed, his ears shaking left and right regularly. This was his habit of living in the wild for many years. Even if he fell asleep, he would remain alert. Once there was any special noise around him, he would wake up.
The three-tailed fox sat peacefully by the fire, his three tails shaking, his eyes casually looking around. He was responsible for the night watch in the first half of the night, and he had to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.
Li Qingzhou leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and rested his mind. There was another day of trial tomorrow, so he had to pay attention to rest and keep his spirits up.
But he couldn't sleep. He saw the two candidates during the day, and their strange mental state kept lingering in his mind.
Li Qingzhou also stayed up all night. If he didn't sleep for a night, his mental state would be a little worse the next day, but he wouldn't be as mentally disordered as them.
The wind whistled through the woods, making the woods roar like a tide, and the roar was mixed with faint groans.
The deep black covered the area, and there were shadows in the woods. It seemed that some monsters were hiding in the darkness, constantly making terrifying cries.
At night, the wind in the mountains and forests is always like this, terrifying and scary.
Li Qingzhou folded his hands across his chest to resist the wind in the mountains and forests. The wind was a little cold, making people's hair stand on end.
"There are many more mentally ill patients in the community recently, and there are cars from the mental hospital driving here every day."
This sentence suddenly popped up in his mind. He heard it in the noodle shop at the entrance of Qingquan Community. It was said by two middle-aged men eating noodles when they were discussing the sudden increase in the number of mentally ill patients in their community.
Light-avoiding beast!
Li Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes, and he remembered the strange creature from the abyss again.
Light-avoiding beasts are social creatures that live in the dark. If they leave the tribe, they will use the sleep talk skill to call, and keep calling until the tribe responds.
The sleep talk skill will continuously emit a strange sound. The people or animals who hear the sound will be disturbed. If they listen to it for a long time, their spirit will collapse.
Li Qingzhou wanted to stand up, but he felt dizzy and couldn't get up for a while.
He felt drowsy, like a person who had been up all night for several days.
Ping An's eyes suddenly flashed with light. He also felt an inexplicable mental disturbance and instinctively activated the Qingxin skill.
As Ping An's Qingxin skill was activated, Li Qingzhou felt a shock and his body was much more relaxed.
He shook his head and took a long breath.
In the forest, the wind was still whistling, the branches were swaying, the leaves were rubbing, and all kinds of sounds were mixed together.
Li Qingzhou listened carefully. There was a kind of weeping and complaining sound in the mixed sound, like a lone goose that had left the flock, calling the tribe.
Li Qingzhou distinguished the sound inside, which was the same sound as the sound in that room.
It was the sound of the light-avoiding beast.
There are light-avoiding beasts in the forest, monsters from the abyss!
It's just that this sound is cleverly hidden in the sound of the wind. If you don't listen carefully, you can't distinguish it at all.
And if he hadn't come into contact with the light-avoiding beast before, he wouldn't be able to distinguish this sound.
Li Qingzhou felt a chill on his back.
This is the secret Black Forest in Linyuan University. How could there be monsters from the abyss? How did they enter Linyuan City and the secret realm?
And so many candidates are in the Black Forest. How many candidates will be affected by the dream talk of the light-avoiding beast and become mentally disordered and behave abnormally.
Is this still an entrance examination?
A normal entrance examination cannot hide the monsters from the abyss in the forest. Such monsters are not something that candidates can fight against.
Li Qingzhou stood up and looked in the direction of the forest. It was pitch black on all sides and he couldn't see anything clearly.
The fire in front of him was still burning, making crackling sounds from time to time.
The light-avoiding beast was hidden in the darkness, and from the sound, it was not far away from him, but he couldn't see it.
This kind of monster in the abyss will only show up in the dark. Once there is light, it will hide its body. Human eyes can only see when there is light.
At the moment, there is no Hongling's phantom butterfly, so it is impossible to create an illusion of darkness for the light-avoiding beast.
It is also impossible to capture its specific location.
The night is the home of the light-avoiding beast.
And the night is simply a Shura field for the candidates, and it is the nightmare of all candidates!
Li Qingzhou took a breath of cold air, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and his scalp was numb.
The two candidates with swollen faces and obvious dark circles under their eyes encountered during the day should have been affected by the light-avoiding beast's sleep talking skills, resulting in mental disorders and disordered behavior.
I don't know what their final outcome will be? And the light-avoiding beast is still in the forest. There may be new victims at every moment of the night.
Li Qingzhou didn't dare to sleep anymore. Ping'an stood up with three tails, looking into the depths of the forest with a leisurely gaze.
Taiping also woke up from his sleep at this time. It felt the change in Li Qingzhou's mood, and the instinct of the beast told it that there were dangerous things in the forest.
The sound continued, like crying and complaining, sad and sad, and people would think of sad things in their hearts after listening to it, and the whole person would be depressed.
This can't go on, we must think of a way!
Li Qingzhou looked in the direction of the forest and thought about the solution.
His storage ball contained the basic equipment that the Abyss Management Center equipped for each member, special gloves, storage bags, Abyss breath tester, etc.
Li Qingzhou took out the Abyss Breath Tester, placed it in the palm of his hand, and watched the movement of the pointer of the tester.
But the pointer was motionless and did not change.
There was no breath of the abyss in the forest.
The light-avoiding beast that emits the abyss now is the same as the light-avoiding beast found in Qingquan Community before, and there is no abyss breath on it.
This is obviously abnormal.
The wind blows through the forest, and there is another gust of wind in the dark forest, the branches sway, and the grass sways.
If you listen carefully, there is also an inharmonious sound.
