embarrassed

He vaguely saw a bean-sized warm yellow light in front of him, but it was too far away to see clearly.

Is it really something evil?Xiao Hao was both scared and curious, but in the end he couldn't resist the inquisitive mind and continued to walk forward.As they got closer, they vaguely heard small voices floating.

"Chi...boom..." The voice was very strange, and it was impossible to tell what it was coming from.

In the place illuminated by the yellow light, Xiao Hao saw something moving around, and a huge shadow was vaguely reflected on the tree trunk, resembling the legendary beast that eats people.

Where the light can't reach, there are faint blue ghostly fires, jumping and jumping, like the eyes of evil beasts.

Xiaoxi was timid, maybe the old woman was right, there were really evil things in the forest, and the people who went in before must have been eaten by those huge moving things.

what to do?Should I walk over to see clearly or go back to Dries first?Xiao Hao hesitated, stepped on a branch inadvertently, and "creaked", awakening the forest monster.

The shadow moved over, and Xiao Hao almost cried out in fright, and his legs were trembling.I should have turned around and ran away, but my feet couldn't move at all as if they were frozen.

Suddenly one hand covered his mouth, the other wrapped around his waist, and when he was at a loss, he found himself flying up slowly.

"Shh, it's me." The visitor leaned close to his ear and whispered, the warm breath sprayed on his neck, making it tingle.They stopped on a big tree, and Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't need to turn around to know that the person behind him was Dries, because only Dries could give him this sense of security.He wanted to look back at him, but was hugged even tighter.Driss let go of his hand covering his mouth and put it under his armpit to wrap his arms around his chest. This posture brought the two of them very close, and Xiao Hao pressed against Dries' chest tightly, and he could even feel the beating of his heart. beat.

The shadow gradually moved under the tree, and with the help of the yellow light, Xiao Lian saw clearly that it was a person, a tall orc.Strangely, Xiao Hao seemed to feel that this should be the case.

The two remained motionless on the tree, breathing very lightly, for fear of revealing their hiding place.The man stood under the tree for a while, raised the lamp in his hand, and looked around for a long time before turning around and walking back.

"What is it?" The two heard a conversation not far away.

Another person replied: "It's nothing, I guess it's a bird." Then there was another "chichi" sound.

"Driss, what are they doing?" Little embarrassment asked in a low voice, leaning on Driss' warm arms, he relaxed his body and mind.

"Do something bad... Let's take a look after they leave." Dries suppressed the impulse in his heart, and hugged Xiao Hao in his arms like this, which was the first time.

There was a vague fragrance from the little thing in his arms, lingering at the tip of Driss's nose, teasing his nerves.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Li almost fell asleep, and the voice over there stopped.After the two had gone far, Driss jumped down from the tree with Xiao Han in his arms, and dragged him towards the light blue flame.

"I remembered, it's a phosphorous fire, that kind of fire only exists where the dead are buried." Xiao Hao exclaimed suddenly, and shuddered suddenly. There are so many phosphorous fires here, how many dead people were buried?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Dries patted his head.

Walking to the phosphorous fire, I don't know what method Driss used, and a flame was wiped out with a "bump". Xiaolian saw that he was holding a small oil lamp in his hand. Although the flame was not big, it was still strong in the dark forest. Lights up a small piece.

Driss squatted down and dug the soil with his hands, and found that the soil was soft and new, so he frowned.

"What's going on? Were they burying something just now?" Xiao Hao imitated Driss and picked up a handful of soil and smelled it. The tiny soil particles stuck to his nose, which made Driss laugh.

Driss didn't answer, he handed the oil lamp to Xiao Hao, and asked Xiao Hao to step back.Xiao Li didn't know what he was going to do, but he retreated obediently.Seeing that the distance was about the same, Dries suddenly changed back to its original shape. The nearly four-meter-long gray wolf stood tall in the dark night, exuding an inviolable majesty.

He stood upright with his forelimbs, and lifted his hind limbs with strength, and then he landed on the ground and planed vigorously, and the soft soil flew out in piles.After a few times, the digging was nearly one meter deep, and the things below were gradually exposed.

"Driss, that's a white bone, what a big skeleton." Little embarrassment exclaimed.Driss had already turned back into a human form, and he dug away all the dirt with his hands, revealing the true face of the skeleton.

It was a huge skeleton with a length of three meters. Several sternums were broken, and the neck was also twisted. The death was extremely tragic.

"This looks like the skeleton of a wild leopard. Why did it appear here?" Dries picked up a sternum, carefully inspected the fracture, and found that it was caused by a heavy blow.

"Driss, isn't Xianshan not allowed to hunt and kill races with enlightened intelligence?" He took a look at the sternum in Driss' hand, and a gust of cool wind blew by, and he was so frightened that he quickly threw it back into the pit. "Also, this piece of land is glowing with phosphorus fire, does it mean that many animals are buried?"

Driss's heart tightened, and he began to fill the pit with soil.Xiao Hao put the lamp aside and helped him fill it.

After returning to the house, both of them were a little apprehensive. The forest was so unbelievable that the Kui Niu people thought there were evil spirits in it, but in fact it was a large cemetery, and the people who were buried were not Kui Niu people!

"Driss, why did you go there?" Little embarrassment asked guiltily, if it wasn't for Dries, he might have been discovered and killed a long time ago.

It’s okay if I don’t mention it, I’m so angry when I talk about Driss, the little thing dared to sneak out without telling him, it’s still such a dangerous place, if he didn’t follow all the way behind, the little thing might be discovered Woolen cloth.

Thinking of Xiao Hao being buried in that cold and desolate place, Driss' heart ached, and most of the original anger disappeared.He hugged Xiao Hao from behind, holding him tightly in his arms like iron tongs, Xiao Hao was so strangled that he could hardly breathe.

"De... Reese, you want to strangle me... I know I'm wrong... But you don't have to do this..." He said intermittently, Driss still didn't let him go, but relaxed a little.

Xiao Hao was breathing heavily, his face was red because of his poor breathing.

"Don't do this again next time, I will worry." Driss said in a low voice, and Xiao Hao forgave him instantly.Driss is really worried about him, otherwise why would he follow him in the middle of the night to protect him.

"I know, I won't do this again, I promise." Xiao Hao smiled with a sweet heart.It feels good to have someone care.

In the next few days, both of them went to the dark forest in the dead of night, but they never saw the two of the first night again, and no new animals were buried.

"We should have tracked those two people first that night." Little embarrassed, there were no clues, and they didn't see what the two looked like that night, so they didn't know how to track them down.

"There is always a way. There are piles of bones there, and it can't be reached once or twice." Dries analyzed.

"It seems that this tribe hides a lot of secrets. Let's stay for two more days, shall we?" Lutman personally took them around for a few days. They have been to all the places they should go, and it is almost time to leave after calculating the time. , but the two of them had unspeakable secrets, so they salivated and refused to leave.

"Well, I'm getting more and more curious." Dries showed a smirk, as if he was calculating something.

The author has something to say: Woohoo, I’m asking for a comment, there’s only one comment for the last chapter, ~~~~(>_<)~~~~ Is my writing too bad, circle around... ...

21. No.20 A scapegoat...

The next day, a small Kui ox was playing with a piece of white broken bone. The other little Kui oxen all rushed to ask where it came from when they saw it. I want to go to the dark forest to find bones.

Naturally, the parents disagreed, and in the end the trouble went to the patriarch. Lutman's face was very ugly, and he scolded the clansman angrily.

"Don't you know what that place is? Do you know that there are evil spirits in it? How did you discipline the children and let them run there?"

The clansmen tremblingly listened to the reprimand. They knew the patriarch's temper very well. Although he looked humble in front of the king, he was absolutely vicious in front of them.

"Give me the bone, and I will return it, so as not to disturb the evil spirit." Lutman stretched out his bony hand, his hand was very white, the kind of bloodless white, which looked a bit scary .

Little Kui Niu's father presented the bones with his head lowered. Little Kui Niu pouted and was about to say something when his mother muffled him.

"Patriarch, what happened?" A voice came from behind Lutman, and Lutman narrowed his eyes slightly, and then returned to a respectful attitude.

"It's nothing serious, the king is worried."

Driss made a clear expression, pointed at the broken bone and asked: "Unexpectedly, the patriarch has a habit of playing with white bones. This broken bone doesn't look like an ordinary animal bone. I wonder where the patriarch got it from?"

Little embarrassment suppressed a smile, thinking that Driss was really black-bellied, ran to the dark forest in the middle of the night, took out a piece of white bone and put it on the edge of the forest, and deliberately lured the little Kui Niu to pick it up. I don't know, Rutman is really pitiful.

But he won't say it, because he also has a share.

Lutman explained with embarrassment: "The calves picked it up for playing without understanding, and I was planning to send it back, so as not to disturb the evil spirits in the forest. The king may not know that the evil spirits in that forest The spirit is amazing, must
