My Supernatural Life of Leisure
Chapter 2397: Standstill (two chapters in one)
The sun had worked all day in the sky, and it was time to get off work.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the sky and judged that it would be dark in more than an hour, so he quickened his pace and continued to move forward.
As time passed, the gravel on the ground gradually decreased.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was actually very happy to see this scene.
Because the area he came to this afternoon was full of gravel, it was very physically demanding to travel in such an area.
If the gravel road under his feet disappeared, the speed of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead would increase a lot, thereby further shortening the travel time.
Time passed like a white horse, and half an hour seemed to have passed in a blink of an eye.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the place full of gravel. He paused for a moment, then took out a water bottle from his backpack to drink water, and looked at the area behind him.
This afternoon, I was traveling in the gravel area and encountered several attacks from strange beasts. The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead discovered them in advance and launched a counterattack.
Several of the strange beasts died, and the rest were scared and ran away.
Generally speaking, the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead encountered fewer attacks from strange beasts than yesterday when traveling in the gravel area.
"Gudong, gudong, gudong..."
Because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, he was very thirsty. The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead drank half a pot of water in one breath.
"I have to find a place with water to rest tonight..."
After drinking the water, the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought to himself that the reason for this decision was that the water he carried was almost finished.
Continue to move forward. While walking, the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead would listen to the sounds around him from time to time.
If there is a sound of water flowing from a stream or a river nearby, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will rush over to replenish it as soon as possible if he hears it.
In this way, he doesn't have to find a place with water to rest in the evening.
Ten minutes later, a lot of hazy white fog suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Huh?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw this scene and immediately became alert, because it was evening now, and the appearance of white fog was very common.
Under normal circumstances, white fog only appears in the morning.
Because it has been a whole night, the water vapor is very thick. The sun has just risen during the day, and the temperature has not risen yet. It is understandable that white fog appears.
Now the white fog appears, which makes people feel unusual all of a sudden. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not stop while being alert. He continued to move forward.
A forest appeared in front of him. The area of the forest is very large and stretches in front of him.
You can go around it, but now the sun will soon go down, and there is no extra time to go around it.
"Tsk..."
"Should we continue to move forward? Or should we just rest here and wait until dawn before moving forward."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought about it and decided to spend the night outside the woods for safety reasons.
"Splash, splash, splash..."
A sound came from not far away. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead listened attentively, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.
It was the sound of flowing water. The water he carried was almost finished. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead wanted to replenish it. Now that he heard this sound of flowing water, he didn't need to think much, just quickly fill up the empty water bottle.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The hurried footsteps sounded, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ran quickly into the distance.
Not long after, he saw a stream.
This stream flows out from the woods in the distance, winding and twisting, and the water surface is sparkling under the setting sun.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead approached the stream and observed from the shore. He found that the stream was quite deep.
To verify, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead bent down, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the stream.
"Plop."
The stone fell into the stream, splashing a large splash of water.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead threw several stones in succession, and the splashes of water were bigger and bigger.
The deeper the stream, the easier it is to splash a large splash of water when throwing stones.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took out the empty water bottle on his body and filled it with water.
Several water bottles were soon filled. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, who had experienced water shortage and almost died of thirst, looked at the full water bottles at this moment, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
…………
The sunset dyed the sky red.
Groups of birds flew in the sky, occasionally making a cry.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead settled down by the stream, and the bonfire was lit, with the flames swaying.
Strangely enough, the stream was very deep, but there was no fish.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead wanted to catch some fish for dinner, but he didn't find any fish after searching, which disappointed him.
Tonight's dinner can only be dry food, and some leftover fruits on the road.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead strung some dried meat with branches and roasted it next to the campfire. After a while, the smell of meat began to fill the air.
After eating the roasted dried meat, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ate the remaining three fruits, and dinner was solved.
The sun in the sky was only the last ray of afterglow. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the sun that was about to disappear in the distance and muttered to himself.
"I hope I can spend this night safely."
…………
"Roar..."
The sharp roar of the beast sounded, making people's ears hurt.
The two investigators advanced in the area between the two bare hills. As they thought, there were indeed strange beasts lurking in the dark in this area full of plants.
Now they are facing several strange beasts attacking from the front and back, and each strange beast is drooling at them, wanting to swallow them in one bite.
"I'll deal with the first few." said the short investigator.
"Okay, then you be careful." said the tall investigator. Since his companions dealt with the first few, he would deal with the last few.
The two investigators drew their weapons and took the initiative to attack the approaching beasts.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
A series of sharp sword qi whistled out, and the beasts facing the sword qi attack quickly dodged.
These beasts did not expect that the two investigators would have such a long-range attack method, and they were in a panic.
Some of the beasts were relatively weak and had no time to dodge. They were directly hit by the flying sword qi and were seriously injured.
"Roar..."
When the other beasts saw their companions were seriously injured, their anger rose in their hearts, as if they were poured with a spoonful of oil, and became very strong.
After a fierce battle, only a few beasts said they ran away with their tails between their legs, and the rest were either seriously injured or died on the spot.
"Huh..." The long journey was physically exhausting, and now they had to fight with the beasts. The two investigators were exhausted.
"The sun is about to set, let's find a place to settle down!" The short investigator looked at the sun that was about to disappear in the sky and said to his companions.
The tall investigator nodded, and then they quickly left the current area.
The reason for leaving in a hurry was that there was a smell of blood everywhere in the scene after fighting with the beasts.
The breeze that blew from time to time would bring the bloody smell to other places, which could be used by some beasts with keen sense of smell to find this place.
Continuing to stay here would only increase the possibility of being attacked by the beasts again, so the two investigators walked forward quickly.
The next luck was very good. They walked out from between the two bare mountains and did not encounter any attacks from the beasts again.
There was a turbulent river ahead, and they could choose to camp by the river at night.
…………
As night fell, the surroundings became pitch black.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead added some wood to the bonfire to make the weak bonfire flourish.
After the sun disappeared, the temperature dropped.
The temperature at night is more than ten degrees colder than during the day. The temperature difference between day and night is very large. If you don't take good warm-keeping measures, you may feel unwell and catch a cold.
"Huh..."
A gust of wind blew violently, and the wind it brought didn't hit the body, making people feel cold.
"A-choo."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found that the temperature dropped much more tonight than yesterday, and he was shivering with cold.
"Damn, why is the temperature dropping so much tonight?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found something wrong. Under normal circumstances, the temperature will drop after dark, but how can it drop so quickly?
"Woo woo woo..."
A strange sound sounded in the woods in the distance, and the white fog that was originally diffused in the woods began to spread outside the woods at this time.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was originally worried that some special situations would occur in the woods, endangering his own safety, so he chose to set up camp far away from the woods at night.
But at this time, the white fog in the woods began to spread outward, which was something that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not expect.
When he found out, his face immediately became very serious.
"These white fogs began to spread towards me. If it covers the entire area where I am now, when there are strange beasts attacking me, it will be very difficult for me to deal with it when my vision is blocked."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought quickly and immediately got up from the ground.
He looked at the white fog that slowly spread from a distance, and his face gradually became ugly.
After a long journey today, the body is very tired.
If it were anyone, they would just want to have a good rest in this state.
Now that night has fallen, abnormal conditions have occurred when they should have been resting. This is very bad news for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Damn it."
"Can't we just have a good rest? This kind of thing has to happen at this time."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead cursed. He was already thinking about packing up and moving to another place to settle down.
Suddenly, the spreading white fog stopped.
"Um?"
The distance between the two sides was forty or fifty meters. This distance was not bad. As long as it did not continue to spread, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not have to pack up and move.
"call……"
Although it is windy during the day, the wind only picks up after a while. But after the sun goes down and the temperature drops, the wind blows one after another.
The thick white mist was constantly billowing by the wind, as if someone was holding a fan and fanning the white mist from time to time.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at Bai Wu who had stopped moving forward, raised his hand and scratched his head, and then he sat down again, warming himself by the fire while observing Bai Wu's movements.
The stagnant white mist did not spread outwards for a long time, and slightly shrank back a few meters.
Just when the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought that what he was worried about wouldn't happen, there was suddenly the sound of dull footsteps in the white mist.
"There are psychic fluctuations."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, launched a mental perception probe and immediately discovered that there were psychic fluctuations where the dull footsteps appeared in the white mist.
In a place like this, if there is movement at night and there are psychic fluctuations, it must be a strange beast.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead held his weapon and looked at the place where the footsteps appeared with sharp eyes.
Time passed minute by minute, and about ten minutes passed.
The footsteps were still there, but their position had changed in the white mist.
"This strange beast has been hiding in the white mist and hasn't come out. What does it mean?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered, and then he thought of a possibility.
"Does it mean that this strange beast can't come out of the white mist?"
Some animals live in specific environments and are unwilling to go to places where they feel uncomfortable.
If the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was right, then there was a high probability that the strange beast in the white mist would not come out of the white mist.
Of course, this is just a guess at the moment and should not be taken lightly.
Once you relax your vigilance, and a strange beast suddenly rushes out of the white mist and attacks while you are resting, you may be seriously injured.
Dull footsteps moved left and right, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead remained alert.
Half an hour later, the psychic fluctuations began to drift away, and then left the detection range of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
