Listening to the constant roars, a group of people in the forest had chills running down their spines.

"Do you want to leave?" Lan Zi asked.

They thought they had come far enough, but now it appears that is not nearly enough.

The Corpse King and the zombies are completely different entities. If the zombies were causing the noise, they wouldn't have to do this. But facing the Corpse King, they just wanted to hide as far away as possible.

"It will get dark soon." Zhang Guxian said, "And the reservoir is nearby."

When mentioning the reservoir, Lan Zi's throat felt dry and itchy and stinging, and she became speechless. She would die miserably if she was discovered by the Corpse King, or she would die of thirst if she couldn't find water. .

"We'll spend the night here, and we'll go to the reservoir at dawn tomorrow." Ji Yan glanced at the unconscious bald head on the ground and made up his mind. The reservoir was at least two hours away from them. They were in unfamiliar mountains at night. It's too risky.

"You said you found a cave?" Ji Yanqing looked at Lan Zi.

"This way." Lan Zi took the lead and headed towards the cave.

Ji Yan carried Ji An lightly, Xia Chenshu and Zhang Guxian lifted the bald head off the ground, and a group of people followed.

The cave Lan Zi found was not far away. The cave was not big. It was more like a gap under a huge rock than a cave.

The entrance of the cave could barely accommodate a few of them, and it was located low, but it was better than nothing.

"We'll see if we can cover up the surrounding area later," Xia Chen wrote.

No one objected, and a group of people helped put the bald head under the rock and checked each other while it was still dark.

They were lucky, except for Baldhead, no one else was affected.

As for the reason, everyone speculates that there are two possibilities. One is that the thing does not survive long after leaving the flower spike, and the other is that a sufficient amount of water is needed to activate them. The water content of human eyeballs reaches 99%.

Regardless of the possibility, everyone was temporarily relieved based on the result.

After checking each other, they took off all their clothes that might have seeds stuck on them and threw them away. They spread out to look for branches.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, in less than ten minutes the entire forest was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

A group of people quickly put the collected branches around the rock to barely cover the inside, and then eagerly squeezed under the rock.

Without lighting a fire, they took out the remaining red dates and dried mushrooms in the dark, divided them all, and ate them in silence.

This is their last ration. They must find new food as soon as possible after finding water tomorrow, otherwise they will starve to death even if they do not die of thirst.

Half an hour later, the cave gradually became quiet.

The cave is very narrow, and everyone lies down with their backs touching shoulders.

Ji Yan was lying lightly in the inner corner. Inside him were Ji An and Ji Le.

Seeing Ji Yanqing lying down, Ji An reluctantly spit out the unsweetened date core that had been in his mouth and lay down next to Ji Yanqing. Ji Le was lying inside, already drowsy.

When Ji Yanqing saw it, his heart felt sour.

In the past, a child as big as Ji An's would have been the family's treasure. Even if he wanted the moon in the sky, the whole family would have to build a ladder to pick it. But now he holds a date core in his mouth until it no longer tastes sweet before he is willing to spit it out. Lose.

Listening to the gradual breathing around him, Ji Yan felt so cold that he couldn't sleep. The near-subzero temperature made his body tremble uncontrollably.

They threw away all their coats that might have rice seeds on them. Some of them had spare clothes, but he didn't. He had left his backpack in the city before, and the current backpack was used to carry Ji Le.

Xia Chenshu had given him a shirt before, and he put it on Ji An and Ji Le.

This situation lasted for a long time, until the temperature at night was so low that the ends of his hands and feet ache from the cold, and he finally fell asleep.

In the silence, Lan Zi, who was keeping vigil at night, looked back and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everyone was still there. She felt funny again after spitting it out.

She was too nervous.

Lan Zi couldn't help but look outside the cave. Her eyes stayed on the twisted trees around her. They were like people screaming in pain, as if they were really alive, as if they were ready to pounce at any time.

Those trees are extremely uncomfortable to look at during the day, and the feeling becomes even stronger at night.

Lan Zi couldn't help but look back to make sure everyone was there, and she tightened the knife in her hand.

She was about to convince herself that she was thinking too much, when there was a faint rustling sound in the darkness, and something was moving.

Lan Zi immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from. There was only a big tree that could be hugged by more than ten people. The crown of the tree shook as if it had just stretched out...

Lan Zi's Adam's apple slipped, and a chill came over her. Straight to the top of the head.

"It's a tree." Xia Chenshu's voice suddenly sounded.

Lan Zi was startled.

Xia Chenshu stood up and moved to Lan Zi's side. He looked out the gap, "These trees can only be planted for a few decades at most, and it takes more than half a year to grow like this, which means they must grow at least four to five times a day." Year."

The big tree, which can be surrounded by ten people, is said to be at least a thousand years old. It takes more than half a year to grow like this. This is far beyond common sense. In a sense, they may have really "lived".

Lan Zi looked again, feeling increasingly uncomfortable when facing the twisted and swaying tree crown.

"Shift change, you go to sleep." Xia Chen wrote.

Lan Zi moved to where Xia Chenshu was lying before and was about to lie down when he noticed that Ji Yan was slightly awake. "Did I wake you up?"

Ji Yan shook his head lightly, turned over and continued to sleep facing Ji An.

As soon as he turned around, Ji Yanqing met a pair of eyes with a faint halo in the darkness. Ji An didn't sleep either.

He and Ji Le took a nap in the afternoon. Ji Le probably fell asleep again because his body had not recovered yet, but he was not sleepy at all.

"Go to sleep." Ji Yan said softly.

Ji An moved his arm and grabbed Ji Yanqing's hand.

Ji An's hands were small and bony, as if he could break them with just a little force. The temperature was low at night and his hands were cold.

Ji Yan gently held Ji An's hand and was about to help him warm it up when something appeared in his palm. It was round, small, wrinkled, and very light.

Ji Yan gently put the thing under his nose and smelled it. It was a red date.

Ji Yan looked at Ji An lightly.

Ji An gently pushed Ji Yanqing's hand and asked Ji Yanqing to eat.

The red dates are sweet and delicious.

Ji Yan was speechless.

Because there was not much food, each person only got three or four red dates and three or four dried mushrooms when they were divided. Ji An and Ji Le only got two red dates and two dried mushrooms each.

That little thing was not enough to fill their stomachs. It was just enough to keep them hungry, and even their hunger could not be weakened.

He thought Ji An had eaten everything long ago. Ji An had held the red date core in his mouth for a long time and was reluctant to vomit it.

Ji An pushed Ji Yanqing's hand again, letting Ji Yanqing eat it.

He knew that Ji Yanqing's water had the most leftover among all the people. He had always been economical. It was because it was shared between him and Ji Le that it was finished in advance.

Ji Yan made a slight gesture of feeding something into his mouth, and Ji An's eyes suddenly became brighter.

Ji Yan touched his head gently.

Ji An was very happy when his head was touched, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Go to sleep." Ji Yan said softly.

Ji An yawned and closed his eyes.

In the darkness, a faint roar came from the city.

Ji Yan slightly raised his head to look up, and Xia Chenshu and Lan Zi were also looking up.

The roar soon fell silent.

The three of them listened with bated breath for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief when they heard no other noise.

They have to leave as soon as they find water tomorrow.

in the city.

Under the night, a cold light flashed in Feng Yimo's eyes. He looked expressionlessly at the huge beast in front of him that he had beaten so hard that he could no longer get up. "Where are they?"

"Well..." The beast's huge body shrank. , there is fear deep in his eyes.

It really doesn't know.

Feng Yimo, who couldn't understand the animal language but could roughly understand its meaning, drew his sword directly.

"Ouch..." I can help you find it!

Feng Yimo frowned.

"Ouch?" What are you looking for?

The beast struggled to stand up, but kept using its hands and feet. It tried every means but failed to harm Feng even a little bit.

"Two children."

Surprise appeared on the beast's big face with blood and scars, human?

"I fed them blood." Feng Yimo said.

They were already dead when he picked them up, beaten to death by humans. Their thin bodies were curled up hard, and their godless eyes were full of fear.

He fed them blood. Logically speaking, their aura would remain on their bodies, but just to repair their fatal injuries and make them "alive" again would require a lot of energy. In addition, they still had Not fully awakened, their breath is barely audible.

He had vaguely noticed their presence before, but the feeling was fleeting and disappeared before he had time to find them.

The beast's eyes were full of surprise and complexity. It didn't know whether to be surprised that Feng Yimo actually gave his blood to humans, or surprised that he couldn't even defeat Feng Yimo who had just shared his blood... The Corpse

King can Share the blood with others, but what you share is not only the blood, but also the power in it. This can create absolutely loyal subordinates for yourself, but it will also weaken yourself to a great extent. Under normal circumstances, the Corpse King will never do this easily.

Feng Yimo just divided the blood, and it was still two parts, but even so, it still failed miserably, which shows that Feng Yimo has far surpassed its existence.

Feng Yimo is no longer an ordinary corpse king. His blood may be enough for the two children to skip the stage of corpse transformation and awaken directly. They may even become corpse kings after awakening.

"Ouch..." How could you lose them?

Feng Yimo looked coldly at the talkative big dog in front of him, why? Not just because it's causing trouble.

Being stared at, the beast felt inexplicably and at the same time more and more aggrieved. It really did nothing. If I had known that Feng Yimo was so difficult to deal with, it was too late to hide, so why would he take the initiative to provoke him?

"Find them before dawn." Feng Yimo turned and left to find someone else.

The beast watched him leave, until it saw his back disappearing around the corner, then it gave up its strength and fell to the ground.

Bullets can't easily penetrate its fur. Now it has numerous wounds of various sizes on its body, and its ribs are almost all broken. The corpse king's powerful repair ability is constantly repairing its body, but the pain will not disappear.

It was not ready to run away, because if Feng Yimo found out that it was escaping and decided to kill it, it would not be able to escape at all. Now it just wanted to repair its body quickly and find the two brats.

Lying on the ground, it was about to close its eyes and concentrate on repairing it, when the sound of footsteps came.

It looked in the direction of the sound.

Feng Yimo, who had just left, walked out of the building behind its tail.

Seeing it, Feng Yimo's face turned cold, "Why don't you find someone to follow me?"

Being asked confidently, the beast that was trying to hide its big tail under its belly paused for a moment, and then looked again Feng Yimo's eyes gradually became weird.
