Chapter 381: The Bizarre Jungle
Furthermore, after a day and a night, they were unable to rest. Consequently, everyone’s complexion was peculiar, with red-rimmed eyes, as if they had suffered from severe insomnia.
What was even more critical was that there was absolutely no food to be found in the primitive forest. There were no wild fruits or anything similar to eat, and their stomachs were already empty.
Lin Ye, who was injured, had pale lips, and the situation was not good. However, he was still persisting. He sat in the corner of the makeshift shelter, holding the Hell Sword in his arms, and then looked up at the two beautiful women, smiling.
It seemed his mental state was not yet at a very poor point. As long as he was fine, the two women would definitely not be in trouble.
The Little Fairy glanced at Lin Ye and pondered in her heart.
“Let’s leave as soon as we rest. We must find a way to get out of this forest before dark, otherwise, we’re all done for.”
Finally, it was Lin Ye who couldn’t bear to break the silence of the forest. The Little Fairy looked at him and nodded. Because Lin Ye’s condition was not good, they had to distribute their roles: the Little Fairy was responsible for taking care of Lin Ye, and Molly was responsible for guarding the outside. Molly walked in from outside and said, “Little brother is right, we can’t find food in this forest, we must leave immediately. We must find a way to get out of this bizarre jungle before dark.” The Little Fairy was still a little worried and said, “But little brother is already so injured, what do we do?” Lin Ye smiled slightly and said, “I can hold on for a day or two, don’t worry.”
The Little Fairy gazed at him affectionately, smiled, and said, “Yes, little brother, I think this is the only way. Whether we can survive and get out of this primitive forest depends on our fate, and we hope heaven will have eyes and bless us.” Molly said, “Please believe me.”
Lin Ye stood up and said, “Alright, we’ll leave here immediately.”
Thus, one man and two women walked out of the shelter, planning to leave. However, at that very moment, Lin Ye surprisingly discovered something inappropriate. On the ground near their shelter, they found a small woman’s shoe. Seeing the shoe, the Little Fairy and Molly were astonished.
They didn’t know whose shoe it was. Had they stepped into enemy territory and were already being tracked? And was the owner of this shoe the one tracking them?
If that were the case, then where had this person tracking them gone? How could they have lost a shoe? Could it be that they were abducted by some mysterious creature?
Lin Ye walked over and looked at the shoe, saying, “The owner of this shoe was likely abducted by the same creature that attacked me.
This mysterious creature comes and goes without a trace, and makes no sound. Its movements are incredibly fast. We must be vigilant at all times and be extremely cautious. We absolutely cannot afford any carelessness.”
“Little brother, could the creature that abducted the owner of the shoe be hiding on one of the big trees nearby, constantly watching us? As soon as any of us is alone, we won’t be able to escape their attack?” the Little Fairy suddenly said.
Molly was startled and involuntarily looked up at a large pine tree beside them. The Little Fairy and Lin Ye also felt that the situation was very strange and looked up at the same time. They did indeed discover an anomaly.
There seemed to be a strange tearing sound of clothes coming from the tree.
The Little Fairy said nothing, raised her right hand, and three small bronze darts shot out from her fingertips, aimed in the direction of the sound.
Lin Ye was surprised. He secretly thought that the Little Fairy’s method might injure the owner of the shoe, because from the sound, he had already determined that the owner of the shoe was on that tree.
Without time to think carefully, he grabbed the Hell Sword and rushed up right behind the darts. He wanted to see what kind of monster had abducted the owner of the shoe, and incidentally save her and ask her purpose for entering the jungle.
Seeing Lin Ye rushing up the large pine tree with his sword despite his injuries, the two women couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for him.
However, the moment Lin Ye rushed up the tree, the Little Fairy realized Lin Ye’s thoughts and immediately rushed up with all her might. At this moment, she also had the same wish: to see the mysterious monster’s true face with her own eyes.
It was just that no one expected how cunning the mysterious creature was.
The moment the Little Fairy fired the bronze darts, the mysterious creature had already sensed it, abandoned its prey, and fled. Therefore, Lin Ye only caught a glimpse of the monster’s back.
It was a monster with a long tail, deep red in color, and covered in scales. The darts fired by the Little Fairy all missed their target and were deeply embedded in the branches of the large pine tree. Lin Ye held the Hell Sword, stood on a branch, and looked down at the scene before him, sighing deeply, “I hope the owner of the shoe is still alive.”
The Little Fairy, who subsequently rushed up, saw the scene before her and was deeply moved, saying, “The owner of the shoe is truly fortunate. The monster only tore her clothes and did not harm her. It seems this is also destiny.” On a large branch below the Little Fairy and Lin Ye, there was a large bed woven from wooden sticks. The owner of the shoe was lying inside the bed, her eyes now open, looking at them with surprise.
It was clear she also didn’t know what had happened. Beside her, there were also several animal bone fragments. Judging by the shape of the bones, they were very large, likely leftovers from the mysterious creature’s meal. This meant they had encountered a cruel carnivorous monster.
And such a monster was even more ferocious than the ones they had encountered on Qingfeng Mountain.
However, there was still one thing they didn’t understand. Why hadn’t the mysterious creature directly harmed the woman, but instead knocked her unconscious, brought her back to its lair, and torn her clothes?
Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn’t help but smile and said to the woman lying there, “Miss, could it be that the monster that attacked you took a liking to you? And wants you as its mate?” The woman then realized something was amiss. She looked at her chest strangely and blushed, covering herself and standing up. She looked at Lin Ye and the Little Fairy and said, “What are you talking about? Don’t speak so harshly, okay? However, I still thank you both for saving me. I just don’t understand how I got up the tree?”
“Oh, about that, I’ll tell you. It was a mysterious creature, covered in scales, deep red in color, with a long tail, that abducted you. Fortunately, we discovered it early, otherwise, you would have had no chance of surviving,” the Little Fairy said.
Unexpectedly, before her words had finished, a strange breathing sound came from above. Lin Ye, the Little Fairy, and the stranger woman looked up and saw a terrifying face emerge from the gaps in the pine needles above.
The face was very strange, like a human and yet like a beast, with a green face and fangs, and two horns on its head.
Its eyes were blood red, and it was staring at them menacingly.
“Oh my god.” The stranger woman was startled, her feet faltered, and she lost her balance, tumbling off the large bed and falling from the tree.
