Isaac saw many new people who joined the group with puzzled expressions on their faces, so he said:

"Don't stop your movements, speed up, just listen to me."

"Let me briefly explain here. We originally planned to take shelter in the trees, but after hearing that many team members cannot climb trees."

"We decided to use flame defense instead. The place under our feet is a rare open space in this deep forest."

"As long as we clean up the outside and inside the circle, arrange the fire blocking zone, and then build a circular fire ring to defend with flames."

"No matter what weird animal comes, it's probably afraid of fire!"

Because airplanes in this period had very loose control over lighters, many men carried lighters on airplanes.

"Everyone, hurry up. Although the movement is not close yet, it may have discovered us."

"It takes time to make a fire. You have to collect firewood quickly. It's best to find some handy cold weapons."

"It doesn't matter if it's a sharp branch or something, as long as it's lethal."

Li En also spoke immediately at this time. He said to the curly yellow-haired boy: "Jay, go and collect all the skin care products and fatty foods that the ladies carry."

"Including items containing cotton."

"We need them to make some torches to defend possible gaps."

Yellow-haired Jay nodded and began to ask around.

Isaac walked to Li En, sighed and said:

"Learning to use fire is an important sign of mankind's progress towards civilization. Using fire to drive away and surround wild beasts is one of the important means of hunting for primitive people. It is effective and improves hunting production capacity."

"The age of firewood is the first energy age that mankind has ushered in!"

The two of them talked softly while looking at the busy people, and they seemed to have the temperament of giving advice.

Jay asked everyone, collected half a backpack and smeared cosmetics on them, then plucked up the courage to find Wu Heng and Yulia.

"Hello madam, we need cosmetics and cotton to make torches. Do you have any here?"

He knew that Yulia had collected a lot of things, so there must be some.

Yulia didn't say much, she just silently took out two bottles of ointment from the side pocket of her backpack and threw them to Jay.

He hurriedly caught it, nodded, and left here.

If he didn't feel that this woman was still useful, he wouldn't be used to her attitude.

In fact, Yulia also knew in her heart,

When she saw everyone starting to look for self-defense items, she understood that except for her crazy momentum, she no longer had any advantage.

Maybe when food is really scarce, it's like what the island man said before.

In the isolation of everyone, perhaps the first to become food,

It was her and the uncle in front of her who saved her.

But the situation is a bit dangerous now, and it is not yet time to solve its own predicament.

The strange screams in the distance are getting more and more fierce. These sounds are like monsters patrolling the mountains.

It makes people's hair stand on end, like the wail of a dead person.

Although he didn't come directly to the crowd,

But their approximate range is getting closer.

This sense of oppression makes no one dare to be lazy. They all wish they had two extra legs and use up all their energy to drink milk.

When half an hour passed, everyone finally finished, and everyone was sweating profusely.

At this time, the firewood has formed a circle with a diameter of 50 meters.

It seems that the area is not small, and the area is close to 2,000 square meters. This distance is enough for everyone in the circle to avoid being burned by the surrounding flames.

But the actual circumference of the circle, which is about 157 meters, is spread out among hundreds of people, and each person is only responsible for a width of one or two meters.

In this forest, it is not difficult to collect a firewood pile that can be stacked one or two meters wide.

They also piled a lot of firewood in the center, ready to add fuel at any time.

I don’t know whether it’s because everyone’s sweat has escaped, the smell of sweat is too strong, or something else, but the strange sounds in the distance have changed.

It became harsher, more intense.

The width of their wandering to both sides has obviously become shorter, as if they have narrowed their patrol range and accelerated their pace towards them.

At least twice as fast.

"Light the fire quickly, we might be exposed!"

Isaac lowered his voice and shouted to everyone. Li En, a gentle young man beside him, also wanted to see Isaac give orders.

He deliberately placed himself in the second position, so that if something unexpected happened and he wanted to find a scapegoat,

Naturally, this smart student who thinks he is number one will take the blame.

Those who were arranged to hold lighters and flammable materials, each one at a distance, lit a fire together.

In the middle of the circle, more than a dozen people were making torches at the same time.

They mixed petroleum-containing skin care products with cotton to turn it into a sticky mass.

Wrap it on one end of the long wooden stick you selected, continue to use plastic food packaging bags, etc., wrap it around it, and then wrap it with strips of cloth or the like.

After wrapping it layer by layer, a torch with a handle of two meters long was produced, or it might be more appropriately called a 'fire stick'.

Originally, some people still used short wooden sticks according to inertia.

But Li En stopped them. They made torches to ward off unknown dangers, but they were not just for lighting, they also had to be a weapon.

When a two-meter-long torch, burning with flames, was thrown in front of a lion, the lion would probably have to retreat.

As the flames rise,

Those weird neighing sounds also came closer like crazy.

The crowd, armed with wooden spear-like weapons, was divided into three groups and stood in a tight formation. Yulia was called to the rear.

Isaac said he would let her and Wu Heng take care of the torches.

But such a crazy woman who stabbed people at will, being placed on the back, still made everyone in front feel like thorns piercing their backs.

Although it was not stated clearly, she was used as a supervisor.

Hiss, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

All kinds of weird sounds were mixed together and approaching quickly, it was like hell was coming to the world.

"Waltfak, what kind of monster is this!"

"God, are they really beasts?"

"Look, they seem to have stopped. Lord, the flames really work! Great!"

"No, that black shadow is...ah--!" Before someone could finish speaking, he was hit by a black shadow rushing from the sky.

The black shadow flashed away, but the person who spoke lost his head, and a column of blood nearly two meters high shot out from his torn neck.

Then he fell straight to the ground.

"Hurry up and light the torch. Who saw clearly? What was that just now?" Li En didn't care about hiding it at this time and said loudly.

People who had never experienced this came to their senses after hearing the words, and immediately lit the torch in a hurry.

"Damn it, don't light them all, save half. For those of you behind, don't light these, otherwise what will happen if all the torches are used up in a while?" Li En said angrily.

"I found it, it's there, Baga, is it an owl? Or a human-headed eagle?"

Among the people holding spears, an English accent with a strong island flavor shouted,

He pointed his spear at a big tree 30 degrees to the right and said.

Everyone heard the sound and looked,

It was a figure about 1.5 meters tall. It was attached to the main pole in the middle of the big tree. Its sharp black claws penetrated deeply into the tree.

The tree body secreted gray sap due to broken bark.

Its body was like an owl, with a bit of blood on the tips of its gray feathers.

The key is its head,

The missing head of the man on the ground was placed on the neck of the owl's body, as if it had a human head.

A pointed eagle's beak protrudes from the mouth of the human head, and a human tongue is held in the eagle's beak.

The beak is half a foot long,

He kept opening and closing it and swallowed the tongue.

Everyone could clearly see that there was a bulge on its neck slowly sliding down into its body.

After enjoying your tongue,

It turned its head in a full circle, rotated 180° backwards, and continued to stare at the people on the ground.

The head belonging to the corpse on the ground seemed to be welded to its head.

The human eyes actually blinked flexibly, as if they were its own eyes and were observing everyone.

The apparently dead head turned out to be lifelike.

As creepy as it is, underneath the head is the body of an owl.

The initial attack was so fast that no one could see its initial appearance clearly.

But Wu Heng saw clearly,

When it first came here, it had no head, and its neck had a long tentacle structure like the tail of a hermit crab.

There is a beak only in the middle of the tentacle. It can detect the person who makes the most noise at that time.

Now it is like a hermit crab that has found its shell, with its tentacle-like tail completely occupying the human head.

Vision and hearing were actually born.

"You five, carry torches, keep waving them, and keep an eye on it to protect it." Isaac said to the five people holding torches.

At this time, the monsters that came over began to become restless and began to constantly test the temperature of the flame.

One of them was an animal that was two meters tall, had two horns, and looked like a moose. It was constantly pawing its front hooves, as if preparing to sprint.

Its head is twice as wide as that of an ordinary moose.

Just like a moose's face, it was stretched from the middle, and the moose's eyes were pulled to the sides.

After the eyebrows, bridge of the nose, and mouth were widened, a human face was inserted.

The human face is hidden under the animal skin, revealing the outline of the human facial features.

So it now has four eyes. Between the moose eyes on both sides, there are two human eyes, and below it is the bridge of the human nose.

The mouth seemed to be a deer's mouth and a human's mouth fused together. It opened as big as the mouth of a bowl, revealing two huge fangs, and kept making wailing sounds.

Through its open mouth, you can see that there are two rows of vertical serrated fangs in the area where its mouth is connected to its throat.

It looks like the mouth part of a centipede.

Three kinds of mouths, growing together, look extremely weird.

Next to it is a combination of a hedgehog and a wild boar, which is 2.5 meters tall and is comparable to a black bear.

Its head and body were connected together and were almost as thick. Its mouth was like a crocodile's mouth, full of jagged and rotten teeth.

There are flesh thorns on the back that are comparable to iron nails.

At this time, it let out a strange laugh of "hehe", shrank its body into a ball, and formed a huge 1.8-meter-high steel-thorned meat ball.

It rolled over towards the fire, with a momentum comparable to that of a steamroller.

Click!

This was not a monster that could be resisted by just a pile of firewood. It directly opened up a road full of regular dents.

He rushed towards the crowd, crushing five of the people at the front holding spears, like hedgehogs stealing fruit.

He hung these corpses on his back, stood upright, stretched out his trotter-like forelimbs, and pounced on a white man holding a wooden spear.

The wooden spear struck it, and although it was slightly dented, the skin was not even broken.

"Go away, stay away from me, and eat this islander, he's delicious."

The tall white man who was targeted stretched out his hand to pull Yusuke Morikawa aside.

"idiot!"

Even though Yusuke Morikawa is short,

He was just like what he said to Wu Heng before. He had good skills, but he was short and slipped back to avoid the white man's snatch.

He took the opportunity to kick out, directly hitting the inner bend of the white man's knee.

No matter how straight a person stands or how hard he exerts his legs, this area is a release point. A slight kick will make him lose his balance.

Following this kick, the white man couldn't stop himself and stumbled forward, falling into the monster's claws.

"No, no, damn islanders, save me, I'm an American!"

Before he could say any more words, he was picked up by the monster.

Stuffed straight into the giant crocodile-like mouth, the 1.9-meter-tall American man had his lower body submerged in its throat, leaving only his upper body exposed.

The white man kept struggling, but those fangs, which were comparable to daggers, were firmly hooked into his body, making it impossible to break free.

The monster was also choked and unable to chew, but he was reluctant to spit out the delicious food. He simply held the half-swallowed white man in his mouth.

Just like a bullfrog that likes to swallow small animals, it wants to wait for the white man's lower body to be digested before swallowing his upper body.

The white man, who was unable to die for a moment, was held alive in his mouth and kept screaming.

Even though he kept begging his grandpa and grandma to save him, no one dared to come forward!

Another moose monster with the head also rushed up, pounced on a person, and with a random tug from its monster mouth, it tore off one of the opponent's arms.

It was like chewing a radish, chewing the meat and bones.

It sounds simply ‘crunchy’!

After eating, blood and bone residue splattered from the corners of its mouth.

The various grotesque monsters following them saw this scene and pounced on them crazily.

The three so-called leaders, Isaac, Li En, and Jay, were now pale and shrank back, urging everyone to light torches and attack with fire.

If they were targeting ordinary animals, no matter how large the wolf pack was, their methods would be very effective, but they were not applicable now.

Facing these swarming monsters, it seems that it is only a matter of time before they are all wiped out!

Wu Heng and Yulia were already at the rear. Yulia was pulling him, quickly retreating, and grabbed the torch from the hand of the person next to him.

He handed it to Wu Heng.

"Baga, give me your torch!" Yusuke Morikawa, who also escaped, also grabbed the torch from the person next to him.

"You stinky dwarf, get out of here, it seems I can't hide anymore!"

With a casual move, this person slapped Yusuke Morikawa, who claimed to be a tenth-degree black belt in karate, like a scarecrow, and flew out.

Yusuke Morikawa hit the elk monster and knocked the monster to the ground.

As for Morikawa Yusuke, he naturally exploded like a thrown water balloon.

"Uncle, it seems we are saved. I didn't expect there to be capable people in the crowd!" Yulia's eyes lit up. (End of chapter)
