Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 687
"That is……"

Seeing the shadow getting smaller and smaller, Kong Zhe frowned slightly.

illusion?

Or……

"Brother? What's wrong with you?"

Lily felt that Kong Zhe stopped suddenly, and she couldn't help turning around and asking in doubt.

"No... nothing..."

perhaps……

Kong Zhe finally shook his head and said with a sigh of relief: "Let's go, we should go down the mountain."

……

The woodland at the foot of the mountain is covered with lush vegetation.Unlike the brightly lit festival scene on the mountain, this place is very quiet.

At this moment, somewhere in this woodland, the dragon was resting on a tree trunk with one hand behind his head.At the festival before, he chose to go down the mountain early because he smelled some disgusting smells.

This woodland is the only way to Fox Village. Long knew that Kong Zhe and the others would pass by here later, so he chose to wait here.

This place is very close to the main road. With his perception, as long as someone approaches him, he will definitely feel it, so he is not afraid to miss it with Kong Zhe.

The dragon lay leisurely on the tree trunk, with his legs crossed, and a green fruit tossed up and down with one hand.

"what?"

At a certain moment, his throwing motion froze, he opened his eyes slightly, and turned to look in a certain direction in the forest.

From the road not far away, there were faint calls of cattle and sheep, and it should be that someone was driving the livestock forward.But this is not what he cares about, his eyes are not focused on the road, but in this dense forest.

The dense forest was completely pitch-black, and he couldn't hear any sound, and even he didn't feel any sense of crisis. Normally, there should be no one around.

However, the rich experience of being a Celestial Master in his previous life made Long feel abnormal at the first time.

This woodland is a bit too quiet.

No matter how you say it, there shouldn't even be insects and birds.

The dragon quietly sat up from the tree trunk, held his breath, and kept scanning his surroundings.

The eyesight of the blood race is much better than that of humans. Even in an environment where he can't see his fingers, he can still see some things.

There was no abnormality in the surroundings, and the dragon kept a motionless posture, waiting patiently, ensuring that he would not even make any sound when breathing.

It went on like this for about three or four minutes.Suddenly, Long's eyes lit up, and he looked in one direction suddenly.

He did catch it just now, and at a distance of less than five meters from him, a white shadow brushed past and disappeared in the same place in an instant.

And with Bai Ying's departure, the sound of the insects around him seemed to resume immediately, so Long could breathe a sigh of relief.

"What a smart little guy..."

Long looked at the direction where Bai Ying left, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He is still not sure what this white shadow is, but there is no doubt that it has also discovered its own existence, and the opponent's concealment ability is really unbelievable.

It was the first time for Long to be bullied and failed to find the other party within five meters.

Fortunately, the other party's patience didn't seem to be very good. The two of them were in a stalemate for only a few minutes, and it couldn't stand it any longer. It took the first step to take action, which allowed the dragon to discover it.

"So, what are you?"

Long frowned, and raised his head to look in the direction Shiro Shadow left.

Then he glanced at the road outside the forest. At this time, Kong Zhe and the others still hadn't gone down the mountain.

After struggling for a few seconds, he still chose to jump off the tree trunk and chase in the direction Shiro Shadow left.

……

The night is windy, and the moon is as cool as water.Kong Zhe and Lili, the little fox, were on their way back to Fox Village.

When they came to participate in the festival during the day, because they had to follow the parade in the village, their progress was extremely slow, and it took almost a day just to hurry.But it doesn't have to be so troublesome to go back.If you move freely on this section of the road, it will only take an hour or two.

There was some silence among the three.Kong Zhe walked in the front alone. At this moment, he was still thinking about what happened in the previous ceremony, about the handwriting on the scroll, and the last figure he saw in the sky. The more he looked, the more he looked like Xiaolei.

Kong Zhe was lost in thought about Xiaolei, so he was naturally not in the mood to speak.Beside him, Lily also frowned, looking preoccupied.

The little fox was also infected by the low air pressure from the two of them, and subconsciously closed his mouth.

The three of them walked the night road in silence for nearly two hours, until they were awakened by a noise coming from the front.

"Oh, are you almost at the village?"

Kong Zhe looked up, and it turned out that the three of them had reached the entrance of Fox Village without knowing it.From a distance, the light of lights coming from Fox Village can already be seen.

At this time, there was a circle of people gathered at the entrance of the village, all pointing and talking to the middle.

The three also subconsciously walked over there.

"what happened?"

The little fox held back all the way, finally able to speak at this moment, rushed over to squeeze the crowd away, and got into the circle within a few steps.

"This, this is..."

However, what he saw instantly made his eyes widen.

At this moment, the ground of nearly a hundred meters around was full of corpses of cattle and sheep, dozens of them.Each head has been dismembered and broken, the body seems to be torn apart piece by piece by sharp claws, most of the internal organs have disappeared, blood, and broken bones are scattered all over the ground.

"Okay, it's too much... Who did this?"

The little fox murmured, and couldn't help asking the others.

These livestock had just come back from the Fox God Sacrifice and were to be returned to the villagers.For people like them who are still in the farming era, the value of a cow and sheep is worth the rations of a family for several months, not to mention that so many people died at once.

The onlookers were obviously also very angry. After hearing the little fox's question, everyone's eyes coincidently turned to a person in the circle.

That was the clansman who was in charge of driving the sheep today. He was sitting slumped on the ground with a face full of horror.

"Don't, don't look at me, no, I didn't do it!"

Noticing the gazes of the clansmen, the man hurriedly defended himself.

"It's not you, so who do you say?"

"Yes, it's a monster!"

"monster?"

"Yes, a white monster."

"What does it look like?"

"I, I don't know..."

The goat driver swallowed, as if recalling the horrible experience just now, and said with trembling lips: "That monster is too fast, I, I didn't see clearly..."

The sheep driver said, and lowered his head a little guilty.

No one asked any more questions.If they didn't see anything clearly, it couldn't be true. Everyone probably understood when they saw the mud covered on his body. It was obvious that he was afraid to run away when the monster came.

But this is also human nature, being able to kill such a livestock shows that the monster is definitely not weak, even if it is replaced by someone else, it will probably run away.

"Lily, don't look!"

Kong Zhe and the two finally squeezed into the crowd. When he saw the bloody scene on the ground, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly blocked Lily behind him.

But Lily still saw something.She immediately covered her mouth in surprise, her face turned pale with fright.

The scene in front of him looked like he had been eaten by a pack of wolves, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

However, what really surprised Lily was not the blood all over the floor.After all, she is a prophet, and she has seen many more cruel and bloody scenes in her dreams.

What really made her eyes widen was that among the corpses of cattle and sheep, one can still vaguely see traces of spider silk.

Of course, the originally white spider silk had been dyed bright red by the blood at this time, and it was difficult to notice it mixed with the flesh and blood.

However, Lily noticed these immediately, without him, because this kind of spider silk made her feel unusually familiar.

In addition, the little spider happened to be separated from her at the festival, and she is still missing...

Thinking about it this way, doesn't it mean that these spider threads are probably left by Xiaoji?
In other words, these cattle and sheep were also killed by it?
Lily was stunned for a moment, her fingers trembling slightly, she just felt her mind was blank.

Thinking of Xiaoji, who exterminated mosquitoes for her and kept watch at night for her, who was so well-behaved by her side, why would she do such an outrageous thing...

"Lily? Are you okay?"

Kong Zhe saw that something was wrong with Lily's reaction, he hurriedly pulled her away from the crowd, and asked worriedly.

"Ah! No... nothing..."

Kong Zhe yelled a few times, Lili came back to her senses, she shook her head hastily: "Brother, I don't want to be here anymore, me, let's go back quickly..."

After saying that, Lily dragged Kong Zhe to the village.

Kong Zhe looked back, and the little fox over there seemed to be called to help by the tribe.He didn't care any more, and let Lily drag him into the village.

Along the way, the little girl remained silent.

Kong Zhe could see that she must have something on her mind, but he didn't ask any more questions at this time.

The two went all the way back to the shrine of the little fox's house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the dragon leaning on the gate.

"Your Highness..."

Long greeted Kong Zhe.

"Brother... I, I'm going back to my room first..."

As soon as she entered the door, Lili said something in a low voice, then shook off Kong Zhe, and hurriedly ran all the way into the main building.

"Oh……"

Kong Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't catch up immediately, because the dragon beside him had already stopped him.

"Your Highness, there is something I want to tell you...about Lily..."

"what happened?"

Kong Zhe was stunned.Long's expression seemed a bit dignified. During the time he had known him, he had rarely shown such a serious expression. It seemed that what he was going to say was not a trivial matter.

……

"Xiaoji... ah!"

Worried about the matter with the little spider, Lily ran all the way to the second floor and pushed the room away.

She guessed that the little spider might come back early, and it turned out that she was right.However, the scene she saw immediately shocked her.

At this moment, the whole house is covered with white spider webs.On the windows, on the walls, on the table, there are scattered spider silk everywhere, especially on the ceiling, which is completely covered with a thick layer of spider silk.

Lily's eyes widened. This scene was almost exactly the same as the lair they saw in the spider forest when they first came to Loki yesterday.
