After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 750 Silent Forest
More than two months later, in the southern forest of Mount Rong.

A bat flew down from the sky and landed on Dong Rui's shoulder. He listened and his spirits lifted: "The town is five miles ahead, only five miles left!"

The snow has melted and the ground is often wet.

But they couldn't ride the snail toad, because Dong Rui performed two more operations on the snail toad, and the latter entered a state of dormancy. It didn't move, it didn't consume, and it didn't even need to eat Prunella vulgaris. Dong Rui hid it in his backpack .

Before the snail toad carried people, now people carry snail toads.

Dong Rui himself was exhausted, so he wanted to find a place to hide and have a good sleep.

He looked at He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu like two tireless monsters.

Especially Aunt Zhu, since she separated from her sisters and got a slough, she has been extremely energetic.No matter how bad the mountain environment is, it is willing to eat.

In Mrs. Zhu's own words, it has slept enough in the past 3000 years, and it should be more active.

It has adjusted well to its new body.

Zhu Erniang filled the slough with flesh and blood and handed it over to it, which is equivalent to letting it take away a blank body without a soul. The difficulty is almost zero, except for the possibility of losing a little memory.

As far as the observation of the soul-absorbing mirror is concerned, the two recent arrivals of the emperor's fluid have revived the aura of heaven and earth a little, which is just right for Aunt Zhu to control this body.

However, it is now the number two player on the most wanted list in Lingxu City. In order not to cause trouble, Mrs. Zhu changed her appearance a little bit. First, she put away the iconic star map of her abdomen and changed it into a red and black one. The poisonous spider's special color, the body is also square, with spikes on the edges, and the overall size has been reduced by two.

This is not like a burrow spider at all, He Lingchuan gave it a thumbs up: "Like a big crab."

Crabs also have eight claws and a square shell with serrated edges...

And crab paste.

Dong Rui yawned again: "Where did this kid go two months ago, Aunt Zhu, aren't you curious at all?"

"Do not."

"..." After getting along for a long time, he can easily distinguish the pair of spider queen sisters.

Aunt Zhu is very straightforward and doesn't like the many twists and turns, but Erniang Zhu has a brain and can think like a human being.

Dong Rui wiped off the mud from the soles of his shoes on the tree trunk, and suddenly pointed to the sky: "Tianluo star has long been out of light, you know that?"

"uh-huh."

"I don't know when it started to dim, and it never lit up again."

He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "It's true when you say that."

Dong Rui turned his head and stared at him viciously: "Does it have anything to do with what you snatched from Tiangong Zhaixing Building?"

He looked up at the starry sky recently, only to realize that Tianluo Star was gone!
Is Tianluo Star important?Of course!

If there is no Tianluo star in the sky, there will be no He Lingchuan's Xushan plan at all!

"Yes, of course." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "This is a top secret, and anyone who knows will be in extreme danger. It is more dangerous than escaping from Tiangong. Do you want to hear it?"

Dong Rui sneered: "Isn't our current situation dangerous?"

Seeing that He Lingchuan opened his mouth to speak, he preemptively said: "Forget it, let's do it later."

He wasn't ready yet.

Going back for two miles, the forest is dense and the evening wind is howling.

They have found their way again, and it has been artificially repaired, and the ground is quite flat.

"Hurry up!" Dong Rui urged, He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu slowed down instead, looking left and right.

"what happened?"

"It's too quiet in the woods." Even in winter, when tired birds return to the forest in the evening, it will be noisy.There was no sound at all here.

Not to mention that Aunt Zhu's eight claws have extraordinary sense of touch, even if there are voles digging holes or walking under the snow, they can't hide it.

But now it said: "I can't perceive any life, look at these trees again."

Tree?
Dong Rui looked up and observed carefully.

In autumn and winter, the leaves of the trees are basically gone. There are bare branches and branches, and they are covered with thick snow. It is impossible to be as lush as spring and summer.

But Dong Rui still found a round hole in the tree, the diameter of which was about as thick as his little finger.

What caused it, someone drove a nail into the tree?
After being so careful, he found that there were at least seventeen or eight round holes in the tree.

This tree has it, so does that tree...Dong Rui inspected more than a dozen trees in a row, no matter how big or small they were, they were all full of round holes!
Aunt Zhu suddenly said: "This is caused by the mouthparts."

He Lingchuan struck the tree with his palm.

The big tree that the two embraced broke into two pieces with a click, and the sound was too crisp.

There was a big piece of wood above it, and it fell down with a bang.

In this way, it did not startle the old bird.

It was still eerily quiet in the woods.

"Look." He Lingchuan pointed to the section of the tree, "The inside is completely dead."

Dong Rui leaned over to take a look, and the cross-section he snapped off was gray-black with countless radial cracks.

From the inside to the outside, the tree has lost all moisture and activity.

He Lingchuan also randomly broke down a few trees, no matter what species, whether thick or thin, this is the case.

Dong Rui's bat puppet also found a dead hare in the crevice of the rock.

Not rotten, but shriveled.

"I was sucked dry." When Dong Rui said this, he looked at Aunt Zhu, "Is this your kind?"

He has studied crypt spiders, and he has also seen how spider queens cannibalize people. It is true that the venom is injected first, and then the mouthpiece sticks to the bottom, sucking the dissolved flesh and blood essence.

He also pointed out: "Look, there are spider webs there."

White silk floats in the depths of the dense forest, wispy wisps blown by the wind.He Lingchuan stretched out a knife and stirred a few pieces of white silk to observe carefully. It was very viscous and tough.

"Nonsense." Aunt Zhu will not take this blame, even if she asks others of her kind to take the blame.

He Lingchuan also said: "This is not a spider web."

Zhu Erniang's spider silk has a wide range of uses, and he knows every type.This white silk looks a bit like spider silk at first glance, but its strength and weave are completely different from those of crypt spiders.

Dong Rui yawned: "Standing here, I can't draw any conclusions."

The two and the spider temporarily suppressed their doubts and continued to move forward to the town.

Soon, patches of farmland appeared.But the fields are covered with white silk screens.

They ignored it and moved on.

Finally, the town arrived.

The small town in the forest was unusually quiet, with no sound of people or lights.

Dong Rui sighed.

He has been sleeping outdoors for two months, and he still thinks that he can eat hot meals when he arrives in the town, take a nice hot bath, and live a life that human beings should have.

As a result, such a small wish came true.

Dozens of houses in the town were eerily quiet, some with their doors wide open, creaking and creaking under the north wind.

He Lingchuan looked at the street: "Look at the footprints on the ground, no one has moved around for at least half a day."

The rain started last night, and the ground was somewhat muddy, but there were no new footprints.

This town has a permanent population of at least three to five hundred, right?Is there no one out and about?
