monster he just wants to be a good guy

Xiaoman...help me!

"Most of the monsters we met outside had vision defects." Zheng Qingmiao explained that Lu Man's whole body had been covered in mud from head to toe, with only a pair of eyes exposed.A circle of clay figurines stood around him, and no one moved.

"Most of them rely on hearing, touch, and smell to make up for this deficiency. They respond especially quickly to moving objects. In order to avoid being besieged, when encountering a large group of monsters passing by, we will cover up our body smell and keep absolutely still."

"If..." A weak voice came from next to Lu Man, and he was interrupted by the sound of a whip just after he said two words.

Zhang Qingyan retracted her whip.Her eyes were cold, and the words that came out of her mouth were merciless: "If you were outside now, you would be a dead person." Zhang Zaidao was obviously afraid of her, so he quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to glance around.

Zhang Qingyan didn't look back, the whip seemed to have eyes, and it hit the floor in front of a boy opposite Lu Man.

The boy had been surrounded by a few flies just now, and one stopped on his nose and rubbed his hands, which disgusted him.Taking advantage of the fact that the two instructors had their backs to him, he pursed his lips slightly and blew on the tip of his nose, but he was still discovered unexpectedly.

"The monster won't give you a chance to play one, two, three wooden figures. Don't you understand what is meant by "absolute stillness"?No matter what happens, you must not move or make a sound, preferably not even the sound of breathing. "

"In order to survive, first of all you have to look like dead people." The remaining mud monkeys didn't dare to show their breath. They were a little wobbly after standing for a long time, but they all gritted their teeth and continued to persevere.

Zheng Qingmiao came out to ease the atmosphere, and he let Zhang Zaidao continue to finish the question he wanted to ask.Zhang Zaidao's voice was timid, his mouth was covered with a layer of thick mud, and he spoke in a low voice: "What should I do if some of my companions are discovered by monsters while pretending to be dead?"

Everyone turned their eyeballs exposed in the mud, obviously curious about the answer.Lu Man also held his breath and listened intently.

"Continue to remain still." Zhang Qingyan's answer obviously disappointed many people. Some people showed resentment and anger in their eyes, expressing great disapproval of this approach.

After all, everyone joined the hunting reserve team for training at the beginning with the idea of ​​contributing to the village and winning glory for the family.And Zheng Qingmiao suddenly exposed the cruel side of the hunting team in front of them.They couldn't accept the answer that they would not save themselves.

"Otherwise, what can you do? Go forward and rescue him? Do you have the ability to rescue people and get out of your body at the same time?"

"As you are doing now, if you stand for half a morning, your hands and feet will be weak, let alone face the monster. When you really meet the monster, you can hold back your pants and cry and go home to find your mother, which is already very good " Zhang Qingyan's indifferent tone filled everyone with righteous indignation, and they wished they could go out and kill two monsters right away to prove it to her.

"Unconvinced? Then try to become stronger. Only when you become stronger can you protect the people you want to protect. Stand up for me." The children who were standing loosely straightened their backs.

Lu Man's whole body was tense, and even the sound of breathing was inaudible. Over time, it felt like an ordinary stone on the ground.Zheng Qingmiao couldn't help but look at him twice more.

After everyone's standing posture tended to be standard and stable, Zheng Qingmiao answered Zhang Zaidao's question before:

"Qingyan was right just now, but the previous answer was not comprehensive."

"The hunting team takes the squad as the unit of action, and the squad has to be subdivided into roles. Those with strong combat effectiveness will lead the battle, those with rough skin and thick flesh will be the rear, and there is another very important role-sentry."

"Sentinels generally don't advance together on flat roads with everyone, but act individually. Sentinels need to be keenly observant, give early warning of crises, and provide support from a distance when someone encounters a crisis."

"You sister Qingyan was our team's sentry before. Next, she will demonstrate how to break out of the siege. Next, I will play the monster, and Xiao Lu will be the trapped team member who is surrounded by monsters."

Zhang Qingyan didn't make a sound, and in the blink of an eye, before everyone could react, they slipped away to nowhere.Zheng Qingmiao suddenly made an extremely ferocious expression, scurrying around like a headless chicken, and then slowly turned towards Lu Man.

The surrounding teenagers stood for half a morning, the mud on their faces was almost dried by the sun. Seeing Brother Zheng changed from his usual simple and honest image, he walked around Lu Man fiercely, pounced on his face from time to time, moved I moved my feet and almost laughed, the dry mud on my face was cracked.Lu Man remained motionless under Zheng Qingmiao's attack like a rock.

Suddenly, there was a crisp explosion sound in the distance, Zheng Qingmiao raised her head in confusion, and looked in the direction of the sound.Then there was another sound, one sound after another.Zheng Qingmiao gave up on Lu Man in front of her and strode towards the direction of the voice.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the arrowheads were deeply inserted into the soil tens of meters away, one after another, imitating the trajectory of human footsteps.Everyone couldn't help looking around, looking for where the arrow appeared from.

From the distant hillside came the sound of a whip whipping a tree trunk.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhang Qingyan standing on the tree trunk.

She still holds the slender longbow in her right hand, half of the whip is wrapped around the tree trunk, and the other half is tied around her waist to keep her body stable.The long ponytail flutters in the wind behind the head.

Everyone burst into appalling cheers, and with a body of mud, they looked more like a group of mud monkeys.Even if Zhang Qingyan asked them to stand for another hour later, it didn't dampen their enthusiasm.

When Lu Man came home, he found that Lu Xiaoan was still playing with his doll without distraction, and he didn't seem to notice anyone standing behind him on the right side.

As soon as Lu Man's feet entered the door, Lu Xiaoan piled up the two dolls, turned to the left, and saw his brother seemed to be rolling in the mud, making a big face and laughing uncontrollably.Lu Man smiled strangely, and turned his eyes to the right. Lu Xiaoan subconsciously looked to the right, and saw Zheng Qingqing's eyes were teary, and his eyes were in a trance, as if he was still immersed in it and hadn't recovered.

"Why did you stop...continue! How did Sister Miao'er die?" She urged.Lu Xiaoan was as red as a shrimp just out of the pan.Lu Man gave him a self-contained look, and went to take a bath, leaving Lu Xiaoan, who was so embarrassed that he was digging his toes, and Zheng Qingqing, who was scratching his heart and wanting to know the plot behind him, pulling me.

It was night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the lullaby woven by insects was peaceful and melodious, and the whole village fell into a dreamland.

Outside the village, the young man was speeding forward like a ghost.The moonlight shrouded the barren land, Lu Man glanced back, the shadow of the wall became smaller and smaller, and gradually turned into a long thin line.

For the past few days, he has been using Qingmiao Village as the center to drive out the monsters. Within a radius of a hundred miles outside the village, there are no traces of monsters.

In the past, after expelling the monsters near the village, he would turn back to the village, but now that he has Xiaoai, he can explore further places without worrying about getting lost.

The further you go, the desolate scenery is replaced by pieces of ruins.Along the way, Lu Man did not know how many dilapidated villages he passed.

It can be seen that the people in the village are walking in a hurry, and some people even have food on the table.The years have left traces of corrosion on the ruins. Houses have collapsed and weeds are overgrown on the ridges of the fields.

When it was about an hour, Lu Man estimated the time to return.On the return trip, Xiao Ai provided him with an alternative route based on system calculations. In order to supplement the integrity of the surrounding map, Lu Man chose to take a long way back.

On the way, the ruins gradually decreased, replaced by deserted forests and swamps.The forest was originally a road opened by humans with their steps, but it has been abandoned for many years, and the weeds have grown to knee-deep, and there are vague traces of a road that once existed here.

The soil was wet and soft, and he could sink into the ground with a little effort, so he chose to walk through the branches.The roots of the tree are coiled and the branches are intertwined. It is easy to find a foothold, and he walks through it like walking on flat ground.Suddenly, there was movement not far away.

"Save..." It sounded like a human voice.Lu Man frowned, and jumped towards the direction of the sound.There is a small swamp in the forest, mud and aquatic plants are mixed together, the water surface is muddy, and it is impossible to see what is underneath.

"Help..." The voice on the water was much clearer this time.It's a human cry for help.Lu Man listened intently, moved closer, and saw a scorched arm stretched out on the water, struggling and trembling feebly, but kept sinking.

"help me……"

"Master, judging from the volume displayed by the heat source, the one under the water is not a human being."

"I know." Lu Man frowned solemnly. "But this voice is very familiar to me!"

Lu Man stopped where he was, wanting to continue to hear what made him feel familiar.

"Be careful behind your back!" Xiao Ai reminded.Feeling the strong wind coming from behind, Lu Man was about to dodge to the side.

Suddenly a voice came from below: "Xiaoman...help me!"

That was Uncle Lu's voice.

Lu Man froze for a moment, but his body didn't respond.

With a sound of "噗嗤", there was the sound of flesh being torn apart. Lu Man lowered his head and saw a long pink object piercing through his abdomen. The tip was forked, and it was still wriggling. Open wide, greedily sucking his blood.

The tongue of the monster behind him hooked down, and he fell into the swamp like a butterfly with broken wings.The scorched hand was right in front of his eyes, and Lu Man reached out to reach that hand, regardless of the tongue piercing his abdomen and the danger surrounding him.

The arm is only half, and what is attached to the swamp is a tentacle that feels smooth and inhuman.

The tongue in the abdomen bit his body tightly, and countless blood vessels extended from the tip of the tongue to station in his abdomen.The red blood spread in the turbid water, causing countless tentacles in the water to move and entangle.

Lu Man looked at the hand carefully, looking back and forth at the calluses on the palm and the marks of the tiger's mouth, and after confirming that it was not, he threw it aside.

He reached out and grabbed the tongue that was rooted in him, and pulled it off effortlessly.The torn wound healed quickly.

Lu Xiaoan suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.He just had a nightmare.

Maybe it's because his brother came back in disgrace after joining the hunting team for training these days, plus Lu Xiaoan's bad psychological hints under various influences. Just now, he dreamed that his brother was captured by a monster.Not only that, his father was also taken away together.The monster's bloody mouth and the bloody faces of his family members made him still have lingering fears after waking up.

Lu Xiaoan's heart is beating fast now, and his back is sweating frequently. He feels very uneasy. He has to make sure that Lu Man is still fine before he can rest assured.

He got up and groped his way to Lu Man's door, trying to open the door, but the door was locked from the inside.He put his ear against the door panel, trying to confirm whether there was breathing sound inside, but there was no sound, and there was a dead silence on the other side of the door, as if there was no living person.

Lu Xiaoan panicked even more. After thinking about it, he decided to go downstairs and find the key from the drawer.

He opened the door silently.

The bright moonlight shone through the window and fell on the empty bed.Lu Xiaoan went up to feel for it, but the bed board was cold.

In the middle of the night, Aunt Lu was awakened by the knock on the door. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Lu Xiaoan's panicked voice:

"Mom... my brother is gone!"

Goodnight everybody--
