After some guidance, Su Chen finally grilled a piece of Fenglang meat with a decent taste.After chewing with satisfaction, Su Chen took out another big piece of meat, ready to try again by himself.

It was also the time for everyone in the mercenary group to eat, and when everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered together, chatter and laughter followed.

During this process, the guy in the cloak who was sitting alone in the corner looked out of place and didn't intend to participate in the crowd at all. He just turned slightly and turned his back to the crowd, as if he was eating own stuff.

This scene made Su Chen even more curious. Isn't this guy from the mercenary group?Even if you don't get along with the group, it won't be like this, right?And judging from the performance of these people around, it was obvious that they were deliberately ignoring that person.

Su Chen, who was thinking about it, didn't notice at all that the barbecue in his hand was already emitting a faint burnt smell from the flames.

"It's over." After sniffing the smell at the tip of his nose, Captain Lin stood up from the stone with the barbecue in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and hurriedly reminded Su Chen.

After regaining consciousness, Su Chen quickly turned over the wind wolf meat in the flames, and at the same time pretended to be casual and asked, "Captain Lin, won't that one come over to eat together?"

Following Su Chen's line of sight, several mercenaries around showed smiles that didn't make sense. One of them was about to say something, but was stared back by the highest-ranking Captain Lin, and had to shut up resentfully.

Seeing this, Su Chen knew that this strange man was really not simple, at least he couldn't be a member of the mercenary group, maybe it was a cooperation or employment relationship?
Shaking his head and throwing out the guesses in his mind, he was just purely curious, and didn't have to go to the bottom of other people's secrets. Since people don't want to tell, asking more will cause trouble instead.

Thinking of this, Su Chen withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to the other party.

At this time, Captain Lin on the side began to change the subject, "Brother Su, where are you going? I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to say. I don't mean anything else, that is, if Brother Su's destination is the same as ours, we can Let’s go together on the road ahead.”

"Let's go to Linjiang City, I just took a shortcut across the Starfire Forest."

What a detour across the Xinghuo Forest, this talk is too casual, it's like strolling in front of the house.As soon as Su Chen said that, several mercenaries around gave him strange looks.

"Linjiang City? Then let's drop by. We're also going to Linjiang City. Hehe, it seems that we have a good relationship with Brother Su." The mysterious man in the cloak murmured in a low voice, "Could it be that those who come out to practice like to take unusual paths?"

The pleasant dinner time ended soon, because of the same purpose and the enthusiasm of the other party, Su Chen finally chose to stay, so he found a suitable place in the open space and set up his tent.

Because the teams of the mercenary regiment have their own night watchmen, Su Chen didn't treat them politely, but went straight into his tent and began to practice instead of sleep. In this case, he could remain vigilant Be ready for emergencies at any time.

Under the night, the waning moon in the sky and the stars reflected each other, offering their own gleam to the continent.Perhaps because of the cover of the night, the chirping of the surrounding insects became louder and presumptuous. It seemed that the trend of cooler seasons could not stop their courtship neighing momentum.

Time gradually entered the night, and in the entire camp, apart from the chirping of insects in the forest, there was only the sound of burning firewood in the campfire.

At the darkest moment of the night, the two young mercenaries on guard looked drowsy, with weapons in their arms, but their heads started pecking at the rice.

"Hey, brother. You two are really asleep. We are now in the depths of the Starfire Forest, and we are in the heart of the entire forest. If there is a slight difference, everyone will have to stay here." Come to change Gang's middle-aged mercenary pushed the two people who were half dozing off, and said.

"No, no, the two of us just now—" One of the young mercenaries wanted to explain something in a low voice, but was interrupted by the other party waving casually, "Okay, okay, go back to sleep, and leave the vigil in the second half of the night to me." gone."

The two young mercenaries who were not reprimanded unanimously breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them, returned to their own tents and got in.

But at this time, no one noticed that on the outskirts of the camp, a vine that looked like a python quietly wrapped around the surrounding tall trees, and in the blink of an eye, more vines spread out from the forest, and they walked through the grass. The sound of Xisuo was perfectly covered by the sound of insects, even experienced mercenaries did not notice them at all.

Those vines seemed to be deliberately controlled by someone, and they clung and entangled orderly like spider webs outside the camp where the light couldn't reach.From the perspective of outsiders, these normally non-aggressive vines seem to have turned into hunters at this moment, and everyone in the camp is their prey.

Gradually, the vines had completely surrounded the camp, but it was at this moment that they stopped their movements and did not make the slightest attack, as if all they had to do was that.

In a trance, there seemed to be some alluring fragrance of flowers penetrated into the nostrils of everyone in the camp.

At this moment, Su Chen, who was meditating in the tent, suddenly opened his eyes. The surroundings were as quiet as usual without any noise, but he always felt that something was wrong, and moreover—the uncontrollable creepiness in his heart was real.

The last time I felt this way was when I was secretly followed by that lunatic from the Blood God Temple, but this time, there must be some kind of danger nearby.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if the whole world had been muted.

"The noisy insects are gone."

Finally, what did Su Chen realize? How could the surroundings be so quiet in an instant?Perhaps it was the power emanating from some kind of powerful monster that made these bugs frightened and silenced?

Su Chen waved his hand and wanted to take out the mecha from the ring. After all, with his seventh-stage fighting spirit, he was completely at the bottom of the food chain in the Starfire Forest. Only a tall and thick mecha could give him a sense of security.

But after a long while, Su Chen failed to call out the mecha in the ring. It seemed that the ring in his hand was just the most common decoration but a ring without space.

How can this be? !
Seeing this situation, Su Chen was shocked. What could block the communication between him and Na Jie?Is it someone from the Blood Temple?If so, there should be no need to play this cat and mouse game with me.

Gee!
For a while, Su Chen began to panic.After a little consideration, Su Chen decided to get out of the tent to see what was going on outside. It was not his style to sit and wait for death. Besides, if there were really strong enemies outside, then it would be a complete joke for him to rely on a thin tent to protect himself.

Having made up her mind, Su Chen didn't delay any longer, opened the curtain and walked out quickly.

Outside is still the starry sky covered by the dense jungle, and the surrounding scenery has not changed significantly compared to when I came here, but the night outside the campfire seems to be a bit thicker, like a thick concrete wall.

A mercenary was sitting on the big rock beside the bonfire. Judging from his clothes, the other party was a relatively experienced veteran mercenary in the mercenary regiment.At this moment, I saw him sitting upright, as if he was seriously watching the night, because the other party was facing away, so he couldn't see the other party's expression clearly.

After scanning the surroundings, Su Chen found that there was no second person outside the tent, so he walked towards him.

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

After approaching, Su Chen opened his mouth slowly, while looking around vigilantly while speaking.

The surrounding area is really too quiet, it seems that everything is deliberately keeping silent, for fear that a little louder will wake up something in the darkness.

Su Chen's voice fell, but she didn't get any reply.Looking at the back that was still straight and never moved, Su Chen gradually felt a chill in his heart.

"Hey, can you—can you hear me?" Su Chen tentatively took another step forward, taking advantage of the gap between his words, to push his hand on the other person's shoulder.

With this push, Su Chen's ugly face suddenly tensed up.The clear tactile feedback from the hand can clearly feel that it is not pushing a person's shoulder but more like some kind of mollusk.

Just as Su Chen's thoughts arose, the body with the upright pen body melted like a liquid in the next moment, and finally became a puddle of water on the stone.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen took several steps back.At the same time, the hands under the sleeves began to clenched tightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the tents behind him. Among the dozen or so tents, except for the one he came out of which was still lit with the soft light from the fighting spirit spar, none of the others were lit.

In an instant, a terrifying and crazy guess arose in Su Chen's mind, and in order to verify his guess, he quickly broke into one of the tents, and he found that it was empty and there was no living person.

Second, third.All the way to the last one.Su Chen searched all the tents carefully, but how could a living person be hidden in the already limited space?
So, the current situation is that everyone has evaporated?But why did I stay?
Is someone deliberately playing with himself?

When Su Chen was brainstorming rapidly, the bonfire surrounded by stones seemed to be gradually weakening, and the ability to provide lighting to the surroundings was getting weaker and weaker, followed by blowing from nowhere The cold wind, they envelop Su Chen, forcing the body temperature in his body to drain quickly.

Su Chen instinctively wanted to escape from this place, and at this moment, the crumbling bonfire was suddenly snuffed out by some force in the darkness. In an instant, Su Chen felt that he was the only one left in the world, and everything around him seemed like fantasy in illusion.

He knocked on his head hard to stop himself from thinking wildly. After gritting his teeth and tightening his clothes, he vaguely saw someone standing in the direction of the previous bonfire.

Enduring the increasingly cold wind, Su Chen took a step forward and gritted his teeth, "Bastard, who are you? What exactly do you want?"

In the darkness, Su Chen could vaguely see the outline of the other person. It seemed that he had seen that person somewhere before?It's - that weird man in the cloak from the mercenary group!

The figure in front of me gradually overlapped with the image in memory.

The other party did not answer Su Chen's question, but slowly raised his head, and reached out to take off the wide hood on his head.

Su Chen squinted her eyes slightly, trying to see the opponent's face clearly, but because the light was too dark, she could only vaguely see the green light in the opponent's eyes.

She opened her mouth slowly, and ethereal and unreal voices came one after another.

"The world has fallen into emptiness, everything you see and know is a cage of consciousness, darkness is a quagmire, it tries to drag us into eternal sleep. Faith is fire, it can help you kill all malice.

They are on their way, we must wake up before dawn!Otherwise, everyone will turn into lonely souls wandering in this forest! "
