Previously, Sun Jing described the feeling when the shadow passed by, saying: "...It seems like walking through a cloud."

And now, I feel the same way.

In the darkness, I realized that the "cloud" was covering us.

I gently pushed Ji Xiao's shoulder.In this kind of place, he slept more peacefully than on a yacht—was it because he was tired?Or because of injury?

The white robe on her body was too much of a hindrance.I can only feel the scars on Ji Xiao's waist and back with my fingers through this layer of fabric.

Ji Xiao was woken up by me, and mumbled something in a low voice, as if calling "husband".I wanted to laugh, but I held back and kissed him.

This short period of time was enough for Ji Xiao to notice something was wrong.

He cheered up and asked me through the "Secret Chat Channel": "Is there something?"

I answered: "Yes."

Ji Xiao: "Others..."

He said, holding my hand and stopping my movement.

I felt innocent, but I followed his heart and stopped rubbing the wound.

Ji Xiao and my fingers intertwined.

We can communicate without making a sound.

Me: "The others probably haven't woken up yet."

Ji Xiao: "Why is Teacher Jiang asleep too?"

Me: "After all, I was very tired before."

Ji Xiao: "Yes."

After a while, Ji Xiao asked, "Don't we need to wake them up? Although there was something there, everyone didn't notice it."

This "everyone" naturally wants to get rid of us.

Ji Xiao thinks: "It might be safer if you don't call them."

I said: "I listen to you."

Although there was no light, I knew that Ji Xiao gave me a very disapproving look after the sound of these words fell.

I bowed my head and kissed him, he was holding his breath, and his hand fell on my shoulder.

The "cloud" floating beside us seemed unaware of this change.

I sucked Ji Xiao's lips, just a very light, very light touch.Ji Xiao slowly relaxed, but still didn't respond to me.

Feeling sorry, I clasped his waist and told him, "There seems to be a voice over there."

Ji Xiao cleared his mind.

My words are not false.On the other side of the extinguished fire, there was indeed a rustling sound.

Someone got up, but they still acted lightly, trying to keep their voices down as much as possible.

I hugged Ji Xiao and listened quietly and patiently.

Ji Xiao distinguished: "Is it Pei Hao?"

Me: "What is he doing up?"

Ji Xiao pondered: "Is the shadow only on our side?"

Objectively speaking, there could be many reasons for Pei Hao to wake up: it was cold in the middle of the night, and he found the fire had gone out, so he wanted to rekindle the fire; although he hadn't drank water for a while, his body still had the need to excrete, and he was preparing to go to a place farther away Solved; my body became stiff from sleeping on the stone surface, and I wanted to get up and move...

So Ji Xiao was just thinking at first.

But soon, there were other sounds beside Pei Hao.

Sun Jing also got up.Like Pei Hao, she is light-hearted.

The two people got very close, and at first they made a little gasp sound.In the back, it became a more silent conversation.

"Cloud" flows past us, heading towards Pei Hao and Sun Jing.

When that icy, mist-like existence passed by, Ji Xiao could only think of the word "cold".

He burrowed into my arms a lot and muttered: "Aren't you cold?"

I replied, "Kindly, but how 'cold' can I be with you in my arms?"

Ji Xiao didn't answer anymore.I thought he was shy, so I lowered my head.

Our noses rubbed together.After a while, Ji Xiao: "It seems...it's over?"

I replied: "It should be."

Now, it was Pei Hao and Sun Jing's turn to bear the cold just now.

They were obviously frightened by this sudden "cloud".I heard a rapid scream, and the scream only came out for a moment, then it was suppressed and turned into a low "woo".I looked at the darkness and knew that the voice just now came from Sun Jing.And the reason why she was able to stop screaming was naturally inseparable from Pei Hao's "help".

Ding Shan and the others were still asleep and did not notice these movements.

Ji Xiao thought: "It's not right——"

The sounds from Sun Jing and Pei Hao got closer to us.

But their target is not us, but Bai Wei beside Ji Xiao.

I heard Sun Jing's breathing.It was very fast at first, but when she stopped beside Bai Wei, she seemed to stop.

"Did they squat down?" Ji Xiao thought, "What are they going to do?"

That "cloud" is still there.

Wandering silently and breathlessly, surrounding Sun Jing and Pei Hao, surrounding all players.

What did Sun Jing do, and there was another low "woo" sound.Only this time, the owner of the voice changed.

It's Bai Wei.

Not just the sound in the throat, but also the sound of kicking the ground.Everything is mixed together, then suppressed, and becomes silent again.

"Damn, they want to kill!"

This thought, like a flash of lightning, cut through all the darkness.

Ji Xiao got up suddenly.

He clearly couldn't see anything, but in the silence, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Sun Jing's wrist accurately.

This time, Sun Jing really screamed: "Ah!

I'm afraid he thought Ji Xiao was a ghost.

While she was screaming, Bai Wei began to cough violently: "Cough, cough cough—!"

Behind Sun Jing, there were footsteps and the sound of Ding Shan getting up.

With a sound of "chi", the light of the kerosene lamp lit up, breaking through the darkness.

Teacher Jiang opened his eyes in a daze, sat up from the ground, and almost jumped up when he saw the extinguished fire.

But no one paid him any attention.

At the moment, Sun Jing and Ji Xiao were half kneeling beside Bai Wei, while Ji Xiao still grabbed Sun Jing's wrist.

She gritted her teeth and swung her arms.But after shaking like this twice, I still can't break free.

I am behind Ji Xiao, and Ding Shan is behind Sun Jing.

I glanced at Pei Hao, but Pei Hao's face was full of surprise: "Mr. Ji! If you have something to say, please let go of Xiao Jing!"

This sentence broke the deadlock.

Ji Xiao looked at Pei Hao with a cold expression.

Pei Hao's expression softened a bit, showing a little cautious persuasion, and said, "Mr. Ji, anyway..."

"Cough, cough—"

Bai Wei was still coughing.

She was obviously still in shock, her body curled up, panting heavily.

Ding Shan frowned and shouted sharply: "What's the matter?!"

Sun Jing took the first step and said, "I woke up earlier and heard some movement here. I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to come over and have a look! The result was, just..."

Ji Xiao looked at her with a half-smile, "'Just' what?"

Sun Jing gritted her teeth, "What are you going to do to Sister Bai Wei?"

The implied meaning in the utterance is self-explanatory.

Pei Hao was even more surprised. Even Ding Shan and Teacher Jiang fell silent at this moment.

It's just that their looks are different after all.

Amidst many gazes, Ji Xiao slowly let go of Sun Jing's wrist.

Sun Jing wanted to flee as if she had been pardoned.However, before she reached Pei Hao's side, Ding Shan stopped her again.

Ding Shan raised an arm to block Sun Jing.

From my point of view, I can see a little profile of Sun Jing.

Her eyes widened a lot, she was both surprised and flustered, and said, "Ding, sister Ding, what are you?"

Ding Shan looked at her and said, "What do you think Mr. Ji is going to do to Bai Wei?"

Sun Jing rolled his Adam's apple, gritted his teeth, showing an unspeakable expression.

"I don't know," her voice was soft and thin, "I don't know..."

While speaking, Sun Jing looked at Pei Hao, asking for help.

Seeing this, Pei Hao took a step forward and wanted to speak again.

At this time, Ji Xiao suddenly laughed.

Bai Wei sat up from the ground, her cheeks were still pale, and there were drops of water in her eyes.

Ji Xiao glanced at her, leaned back slightly, and leaned against me.

I happily hugged him and watched Ji Xiao look at Pei Hao and Sun Jing.

Ji Xiao asked: "Wang Luyao is indeed still alive, right?"

When Pei Hao and Sun Jing heard this, they were both taken aback.

Pei Hao said, "Mr. Ji, I don't understand what you said."

After getting used to the light of the fire, the kerosene lamp seemed too dim.

Under such light, everyone's face has a faint shadow.

I held Ji Xiao in my arms, and at the same time, I looked behind Pei Hao.

Pei Hao's back was still straight, but at the same time, something was flowing along his shoulders and hair tips.

He froze slowly.

It's just that other people haven't noticed yet, but Sun Jing is still saying: "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

She refuted Ji Xiao, from her tone to her demeanor, she was full of vigor.But after saying this, Bai Wei moved a little in the direction of Ji Xiao and me, and Teacher Jiang also came over to our side.

Sun Jing was taken aback, and looked at Ding Shan.

Ding Shan asked her: "When you were going to kill Wang Luyao, she ran away, right?"

Sun Jing's pupils suddenly shrank.

Her expression changed at this moment.That young girl, who is strong but timid after all, is like a layer of paper, which she lightly peels off.Afterwards, it is clearly still the same appearance, but reveals many differences.

She asked, "You didn't believe it in the first place?"

Ding Shan was noncommittal.

Sun Jing wants to speak again.But at this time, with a flash from the corner of her eye, she finally noticed the movement on Pei Hao's body.

She opened her mouth slightly, her voice trembling: "Pei, Pei Hao?!"

This sound also made Ji Xiao, Teacher Jiang... counting Bai Wei, the four of us looked at Pei Hao together.

Behind Pei Hao, in the long darkness, every place was surging.

Seeing this, Ding Shan's complexion changed: "Run! Run!"

Before she finished speaking, Ji Xiao had already pulled Bai Wei up.

A few hours ago, we were still considering whether to explore in the direction where Pei Hao and Sun Jing walked.But at this moment, with the surging black shadow in sight, we seem to have no other choice.

run!

Run back and forth!

Not only us, Sun Jing and Pei Hao also started running.The kerosene lamps cast the shadows of each of us on the rock wall, and the shadows behind us chased after us and followed us.

But this time, unlike before, it can be easily shaken off.

I heard gasps, and even Ji Xiao couldn't feel it—when he pulled Bai Wei up, he simply put her on his back.

Carrying Bai Wei on his back all the way, he still ran not too slowly, so he naturally consumed more energy.

We came to the place where the water diverged, and the body of the "knight" reappeared, lying there quietly, showing no signs of standing up again.

But the players had no time to rejoice at this.

——Behind that small stone platform, there is a narrow space where you will fall when you walk.
