Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 665 Bizarre Disappearance
More than 20 people were lost in the black smoke, unable to find monsters or companions.

But they couldn't just sit still and wait for death. They could only wave their weapons and chop randomly in the hope that they would not fall into the hands of the monster.

It took about half an hour for the black smoke to slowly dissipate, and those who kept brandishing their weapons were almost exhausted.

When they finally saw their companions appear, most people almost collapsed and immediately fell to the ground.

The few people who could barely stand were panting and moved closer as quickly as possible, scanning the surroundings with back-to-back vigilance.

After waiting for almost half an hour, no monster appeared, and the huge pressure brought by the monster completely disappeared.

Everyone relaxed and then realized that it was already dark, so they hurriedly lit torches and began to count the number of people, and found that there were five or six people missing.

Now everyone became nervous again. Where could they dare to rest, they hurriedly searched around with torches.

But they searched almost all the areas where the battle had just occurred, and even expanded a few times, but found nothing in the end.

Everyone did not dare to stay any longer and went down the mountain overnight holding torches.

After leaving this mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the next mountain and met up with the people who had escaped before.

The return of these people shows that there are not that many missing people.

Finally, it was determined that a person was missing.

At dawn, these people returned to the village.

And their families stayed up almost all night, waiting for them to go home.

The missing person was a 15-year-old boy. This was his first time hunting with everyone in the mountains, but he didn't expect to never return.

Everyone knows that hunting is an extremely dangerous thing. If you encounter a large beast, it may become food for the prey.

It is not that everyone cannot accept the fact of death, although it is difficult for the family members of the deceased to accept it.

But this was the first time that something like this boy's mysterious disappearance had happened. Not only his parents couldn't accept it, but most people in the village couldn't accept it either.

As the saying goes, you want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see the corpse when you die, but the young man does not see people when he is alive, and he does not see his body after death. How can people accept it?

And this thing is weird. In fact, everyone did not actually fight against the monster. It was just a burst of flying sand and rocks, and a dozen people were injured. If there was a fight, they had no confidence in winning.

But the monster just escaped and took the boy away without anyone noticing. It was puzzling and creepy at the same time.

Many people in the village do not believe this fact, but they do not suspect these people of lying.

It was possible for a few people to lie after making an appointment, but more than 20 people agreed at the same time that it should be impossible to lie.

These people are the backbone of every family. Since coming back this time, they haven't gone hunting for more than a month.

This made other people believe the fact, indicating that everyone was frightened by the monster, and at the same time, a feeling of panic began to spread in the village.

These strong-blooded men were not afraid of beasts or death, but when faced with that kind of monster, they were crushed directly, as if no matter how hard they tried, they could not touch the opponent's body.

Although others were doubtful about the boy's disappearance, they knew that he was probably in danger and had become food for monsters.

But they didn't dare to say such words with confidence, because the young man's family members were still praying every day, hoping that he would suddenly come back one day.

It's impossible not to go hunting for a long time. If you want to maintain your life, you must have prey to exchange for food, otherwise someone will starve to death sooner or later.

These people went up the mountain together again, but everyone reached a consensus that no matter whether they could catch prey or not, they would only hunt on the two nearby mountains.

No matter what strange noises you hear again, you will never follow them.

If someone is confused by the sound and wants to follow the sound unknowingly, a sober person around him should wake him up immediately.

If you can't wake up, just knock him out.After more than three months of almost no incident, when they went hunting in the mountains, they heard no strange noises or saw any black smoke, and suddenly one of their companions was missing.

If it was possible for someone to break away from the team and act alone before, but since the encounter with the monster, no one dared to go up the mountain alone.

There is still no news about the missing boy, but the boy disappeared at the scene of the fight with the monster. Now even the shadow of the monster is not seen, and someone has disappeared inexplicably, which is even more incredible.

At the same time, it also made everyone more and more creepy. Everyone felt as if they were being targeted by monsters.

No wild beast can kidnap any of them silently. Even if they encounter a large beast alone, even if they cannot defeat it and are eventually eaten by the wild beast, they cannot remain silent.

Everyone hurried back to the village and brought back the news that their companions were missing.

The missing person this time was a man in his 30s. He was not the young man who went up the mountain for the first time, but an experienced hunter.

This disappearance once again caused an uproar in the village, and the village fell into a greater panic.

The village chief also felt that the situation was serious and must come up with a solution.

But no one has seen what the monster looks like, and from the descriptions of these hunters, they are no match for the monster at all.

The village chief couldn't think of any good solution, so he had to summon all the elderly in the village to brainstorm how to deal with this crisis.

"Alas, we have lived here for a hundred years. It seems that God will not allow us to live a peaceful life. It is better to leave here."

An old man sighed and spoke, but was immediately opposed by most people.

"We have lived here for hundreds of years, and our ancestors are safe and sound. Why is this weird thing happening now? It must be that God and our ancestors feel that we only care about comfort and enjoyment and forget to sacrifice to them. We should prepare more sacrifices to sacrifice to God. and our ancestors, praying for their blessings, we will be able to get through this disaster safely.”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately won the support of most people. The elderly are getting older and no one wants to move easily.

The minority obeyed the majority, and the village chief had no choice but to obey the opinions of the majority and take the old people to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and God.

After the sacrifice, more than a month passed, and no one was missing. The old people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the sacrifice was right and that God and their ancestors had not abandoned them.

But more than three months later, another hunter disappeared.

Now the whole village was even more panicked. No one knew who would disappear next.

Women began to control their children and no longer allowed them to roam freely.

Every household began to close its doors, and even people did not dare to go out easily during the day.

At the same time, many people began to ask to escape, hoping that the village would be moved away to completely get rid of the monsters.

The old people who previously opposed the relocation no longer dare to speak out. People are even more afraid of death as they get older.

They could only pray secretly, hoping that God and their ancestors would protect them and allow the village to survive this disaster safely.

The hunters were also afraid. Each of them was the breadwinner of the family. Once something happened to someone, it would mean the collapse of the family.

But they also have to go hunting, otherwise the family might starve to death.

So they started to stay away from the mountain where the monster appeared, and went to the mountains farther in the opposite direction to find prey.

But no matter how far they ran, people still disappeared from time to time.

Three years later, more than a dozen people have disappeared one after another, and the atmosphere in the village has become even more tense.

Every family no longer requires its men to go out hunting, but lets them find a suitable place to live.

As long as we are away from the entanglement of monsters, no matter how far we go, everyone will be welcome.
