Chapter 782 Catch One For You

Chapter 782 Catch One For You

How could Xiaoqian have the nerve to drink it, she shook her head and refused: "Maybe my brother will pick the fruit and come back later, and I can quench my thirst by eating the fruit later."

Seeing this, Chi Zhenzhen couldn't embarrass her anymore, anyway, Yubei will be back in a while.

Soon Yubei came back with prey and fruit.

"There is no water source near here, I pick a lot of fruits, let's quench my thirst with fruits." Yubei said as he put a bunch of fruits on the ground.

He glanced at the meat being roasted on the fire, and frowned.

"These were shot by Luo Gu with a slingshot." Chi Zhenzhen explained that she didn't expect that Luo Gu would use such a method to hunt, so Yubei wouldn't have to run so far.

Yubei glanced at Luo Gu, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

It was completely dark, and the four of them gathered around the fire to eat meat. As the night deepened, Chi Zhenzhen felt something was wrong.

She didn't speak, but turned her head to observe the faces of Luo Gu and Yu Bei, their expressions were slightly dignified, and they were also vigilant.

"I think I should know why I slept on the tree." At this time, Yubei began to say.

"Why?" Xiao Qian, who was eating the fruit, asked suspiciously.

"There are people-eating things in this forest at night." Yubei said in a deep voice.

Hearing what she said, Chi Zhenzhen couldn't help but flinch.

"Really?" Xiaoqian was also taken aback by his words, and hurriedly moved to her brother's side.

Yubei suddenly laughed, and his calm tone became relaxed and cheerful: "Fake."

"Brother!" Xiao Qian glared at him angrily, not liking his joke at all.

"Although there are no cannibal things, there are indeed dangerous things." After finishing speaking, Yubei looked up at the trees around him, probably looking for a place to rest and sleep tonight.

After Chi Zhenzhen finished eating the meat, she also ate two fruits to quench her thirst. She had already taken a fancy to the tree where she would rest tonight. Even without Luo Gu, she could still climb up it alone.

"It's almost time, let's go to bed." Luo Gu looked around, and added a lot of branches to the fire, so that the fire in the fire could last until dawn tomorrow.

Yubei also found a tree suitable for sleeping, and climbed up with Xiaoqian.

Chi Zhenzhen followed Luo Gu up the tree, sat down in a comfortable position, and began to look around.

Because there is a fire burning under the tree, Chi Zhen can really see the situation near the big tree, and it will be dark if it is farther away.

And in the darkness, Chi Zhenzhen always felt that something was staring at them in the dark.

"What's wrong?" Luo Gu asked her a little nervously, "Don't be afraid of falling, I won't let you fall."

Chi Zhenzhen retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of falling, I just feel..."

She didn't know whether to say it, after all, she didn't see anything now, she just had that feeling.

People often have inexplicable fear of unknown things, especially in dark places, who knows if something scary will suddenly come out of it.

"I feel something is watching us." Chi Zhenzhen still said, "Can you see what it is?"

Luo Gu hummed, of course he could see it: "These things can't climb up, so sleep peacefully."

"Is it an animal? How about you describe it to me?" Chi Zhenzhen asked.

"I'll catch one for you." Seeing that she was so curious all the time, Luo Gu probably would keep thinking about it tonight if she didn't see it.

"That's not necessary." She wanted to see it, but if it was too dangerous, forget it.

Seeing that he was about to jump, Chi Zhenzhen quickly grabbed his hand to stop him.

"Don't watch it, don't watch it, I'm afraid it's too scary to rest tonight, so go to sleep." Chi Zhenzhen pulled him to find a comfortable position to lie down and rest.

Luo Gu thought about it, it makes sense.

The four of them finally found a suitable place to rest, and a silent tacit understanding was developed between Luo Gu and Yubei, who would watch the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired from walking all day, Chi Zhenzhen fell asleep in a short while.

At the same time, those things hidden in the dark of the forest began to move, but they were hindered by the open flames in front of them, even if they really wanted to rush up, they couldn't move because of their body instincts.
-
Chi Zhenzhen woke up when the first rays of sunlight entered the forest.

She had been thinking all night that she was sleeping on a tree, so her sleeping position was very honest, lest she would fall down the tree if she didn't pay attention.

When she woke up, she was alone in the tree, and Luo Gu was not by her side.

She hurriedly looked down, just in time to see the top of Luo Gu's head, she breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Luo Gu would not be by her side.

Luo Gu lit a fire under the tree to barbecue meat, and placed a... dead animal beside the fire?

She wasn't sure, because the thing was elongated and somewhat transparent, more like a molted soft shell.

"Can I come down by myself?" Seeing that she was awake, Luo Gu raised his head and asked.

"Of course." She can go up and down trees.

Chi Zhenzhen fell down the tree neatly, but he didn't see Yubei and Xiaoqian.

"They went to drink water nearby." Knowing that she was looking for someone, Luo Gu said.

"Drink water?" Didn't they say yesterday that there is no water source nearby, and they can only quench their thirst by eating fruits.

"Well, drink water."

Chi Zhenzhen felt that his tone was a bit strange, only then did she realize that there was really water in her bowl on the fire in front of her...

There is not only water in the bowl, but also meat. The meat is a piece of white meat. It looks like it was cut from some kind of animal with her dagger.

But there is not much meat, and there are only three lumps in the small bowl.

"What kind of meat is this?" Chi Zhenzhen looked at it and thought it looked like fish, but there was no water source nearby, and there could be no fish.

"Animals you didn't dare look at last night," he said.

"Huh?" Chi Zhenzhen was taken aback, it couldn't be just these three lumps.

Luo Gu looked at the thing that resembled a soft shell beside him and said: "This is its body, what is being cooked is its meat, and there are only a few lumps of meat in the body, and the rest is water."

Chi Zhenzhen was a little confused.

"They are the moving water sources in this forest. They are afraid of light and only appear at night." Luo Gu explained to her, "You can only catch them after dark, but they are extremely aggressive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch them. Even if they are caught, they will be killed by groups of them."

Chi really understood, and thought of another question: "Since they are afraid of light, we should just sleep in front of the fire last night. Why did we climb the tree?"

"They will escape." Luo Gu answered her.

Well, now she fully understands, it seems that these sleeping trees are not randomly found, but the kind of solid wood trees that don't look hollow.

Chi Zhenzhen glanced around again, guessing that these animals containing water were all caught by Luo Gu after he shot them with a slingshot last night, and then caught them after dawn.

There are so many magical things in this forest.
