Chapter 218

"The roar of the beast just now is not the howl of a wolf."

That short sentence instantly made Xing Shan and the others nervous, because it meant that besides the wolves, there were probably other wild beasts nearby.

Feeling the tenseness of the crowd, Xing Shan quickly ordered: "It's fine no matter what, let's deal with the wolves first."

Everyone nodded and each showed their weapons.

Just when they were about to fight, there was a low growl that they heard first in the distance, and when this sound came, those wild wolves seemed to have seen a ghost, one by one, with their tails between their legs, speeding fled the scene.

Seeing this situation, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously a little surprised by the result.

The wolves in the wild have always been vicious, even if they encounter jungle beasts, the king of the forest, they will rarely run away like this.

Could it be the legendary beast—the blood unicorn—that made them escape from the scene in such embarrassment?

This thought flashed through everyone's minds, and almost at the same time, everyone jumped on their horses, "Let's go and have a look!"

Everyone followed the roar of the beast all the way, but the strange thing was that the roar seemed to be very close to them, but they could not find the source of the sound, as if they were not in the same space as them, the more strange things were , the crowd became more excited, after all, they were here for the blood unicorn, if they could find it, it would be better than their wasted effort.

Even Zhan Dabao, who has never been interested in this matter, is now following the trail of the beast with high spirits.

As the night got deeper and deeper, everyone held up torches and unknowingly chased them into the depths of the mountain forest. At this time, the low roar of the beast gradually disappeared, and finally disappeared completely.

Without the guidance of the low growl, everyone lost their way in the forest in an instant. Not to mention chasing the blood unicorn, even finding the way back seemed not so easy.

"Oops, we're not on the right track, are we?"

Bu Yifan spoke belatedly, making everyone's faces solemn.

"It's really weird."

Zhan Dabao sneered, with strong anger brewing in his eyes, "How dare you tease us like this, no matter whether it is human or animal, I, Zhan Dabao, will never stop with it!"

Xu felt that what he said was domineering, and Hu Buxi rarely quarreled with him, "Yes, we must find out the truth no matter what, and we must not be defeated by such trivial matters."

Seeing the high fighting spirit of the crowd, Xing Shan laughed and said, "I'm looking for it, but I have to look for it tomorrow. It's too late today. Let's rest at the same place for a night and wait until tomorrow when I regain my strength. Keep searching for the truth."

Hearing what he said, everyone nodded one after another. There was no roar to guide the way. It was really difficult for them to find any clues in this big night.

When everyone put away their weapons and was about to find some hay to fall asleep, Hu Buxi looked at the horses steadily, and couldn't help but said: "The horses will be frightened when they see the wolves, and the wolves will be scared when they hear the low growls." afraid, so why aren't the horses afraid of those roars?"

When this question came out, everyone present was stunned.

Yes, if the mysterious roar came from the blood unicorn, why didn't the horses be afraid, and carried them forward?

Could it be that the roar of the blood unicorn has any special meaning?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Xing Shan rubbed his head and said with a headache, "No matter what the reason is, everyone is tired today, let's think about it tomorrow."

Everyone nodded again. They were indeed tired. Even though they thought this matter was unusual, they didn't have a clear mind to continue thinking.

Seeing everyone falling asleep, Xing Shan walked up to Hu Buxi, stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and comforted her: "Don't worry, the truth will be revealed sooner or later, as long as we are determined to find it, nothing can be found .”

Hu Buxi nodded slightly, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "I understand."

……

A good night's sleep.

Around noon, everyone was awakened by the neighing of the horses, and they were surprised to find that there was a raging fire in the dense forest not far away.

Seeing this situation, many people's brains were blunted, and then jumped up from the ground in unison, "Blood unicorn!"

Xing Shan took the lead and said: "You guys guard the carriage here first, Brother Houshi will follow me to see the situation."

Hearing his words, Zhan Dabao became dissatisfied, "Why don't you take me there?"

Xing Shan felt a little helpless, "You went too, so who will protect Axi and Yifan?"

Hearing this, Zhan Dabao's face softened a little. Since he has such an important task entrusted to him, it doesn't seem to matter whether he goes or not.

Seeing how coaxing he was, Xing Shan shook his head amusedly, and he led the Hou brothers towards the place where the fire was burning, and soon found that the fire was beyond their imagination.

The vegetation in the forest is lush, once the fire ignites, if there is no heavy rain to extinguish it, the whole mountain may suffer.

But the strange thing is, how did this wildfire form?
If there was neither thunder nor fireworks last night, would there be a fire for no reason?

"Could it be artificial?"

Hou Zuo spoke rarely, obviously feeling that the seriousness of the matter was beyond their imagination.

If the entire Mengyin Mountain was burned, it would be a great disaster for the people nearby, not to mention the matter of the blood unicorn.

"Looks artificial."

Xing Shan didn't shy away from them, and quickly said: "No matter what, we have to find a way to extinguish this mountain fire first, otherwise, we won't be able to explain it when we go back."

"Extinguish the mountain fire? Are you kidding me?"

Houyou dissatisfied: "You think we are the Dragon King? I don't have such ability!"

Seeing that they gave up so quickly, Xing Shan said displeasedly: "I thought you two were people who dared to face difficulties."

"It has nothing to do with being brave."

Houzuo's attitude is better than Houyou's, but he still has a calm face, "The mountain fire is huge. Even if we carry water to put out the fire now, it will not be faster than the speed of the flames. What's more, we don't have any containers to put out the fire. You asked us to put out the fire, you were joking!"

"Who said you need water to put out a fire?"

Xing Shan said coldly: "As long as we cut down the trees outside the fire, so that the fire cannot spread to the surroundings, then the fire will be extinguished sooner or later, and we don't need any effort at all."

"what?"

Both Hou Zuo and Hou You were taken aback, why did they never think of this method?
Seeing their unbelievable looks, Xing Shan smiled lightly, and said: "Stop it, if you don't act, it will be too late. You don't want to watch Mengyin Mountain burn down, do you?"
