C273 (1/2)

In the last three days, Xiu Er and the others calculated that the Gu Worm would mature.

There wasn't much time left for Shi Lei to do it.

However, Shi Lei who was still in the Red Cliff Mountain did not know the exact number, he only knew that he had to take action as soon as possible.

It was probably because of the mountain peak that Shi Lei woke up early in the morning. When he was curled up on the tree, he even felt a tinge of coldness.

The Red Cliff Mountain in the early morning was extremely quiet. What was rare was that there was actually a trace of sunlight that shone on his body, which was warm, as if it was somewhat warm.

Shi Lei stretched his body and planned to hurry up to pick the Taomou Herba, but something suddenly wrong happened.

”Where the f * * k?”

Shi Lei looked in front of him in shock. He thought that he was seeing things, but the Taomou Herba that he saw with his flashlight last night was really gone.

Was he mistaken?

Shi Lei kept recalling what happened last night. After confirming the Taomou Herba in front of him, Shi Lei climbed up the tree to sleep.

If he had known earlier, he would have taken the risk and taken it off the night before.

Shi Lei couldn't help but slap himself, blaming himself a lot.

Although he did not know what had happened or what exactly was the reason for it, since he had seen it from the top of the mountain of Red Cliff Mountain, it meant that there must be something else in the vicinity.

Thinking about it, Shi Lei continued to walk forward, wanting to see more Taomou Herba.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shi Lei's legs were numb, but he still did not smell the same smell as last night. Looking at the sky which was gradually lighting up, Shi Lei felt helpless.

At this time, time was life, and every second could potentially be the life of Jiangling City. Shi Lei did not dare to waste too much time, and could only continue to stand up and walk forward.

After walking a distance, Shi Lei gradually realized that something was amiss.

In the journey from the waist of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Shi Lei had seen a lot of beasts, but he still had to be extremely careful, in order to avoid the beasts' encirclement.

However, ever since he had arrived at the top of the mountain, he hadn't seen a single animal. Even the legendary dangerous jungle didn't have the slightest movement.

The quieter it was, the more worried Shi Lei became.

But other than continuing to climb upwards, Shi Lei had no other choice. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a very strange sound.

”Squeak squeak squeak.”

A mouse like voice travelled into Shi Lei's ears. Even though it sounded strange, Shi Lei still felt a lot more comfortable in this kind of frightening quiet environment where he could at least hear some activity.

The sound gradually became distant, as if it was moving towards a certain direction. Shi Lei was curious about what it was, thus he followed it without hesitation.

After about ten minutes of trekking, that familiar smell from last night appeared again, and it was even stronger than before.

Shi Lei became even more excited, this was the scent of Taomou Herba, it seemed like he did not see wrongly last night, this was the herb he saw.
