C18 (1/2)

At four in the morning, the rain had stopped. The fog had dissipated, and the bonfire was still burning. The surroundings were deathly still, with only the crackling sounds of firewood coming from the bonfire.

The night in Wild Mountain was very cold. I wrapped myself around the bonfire and smoked, and the sound of the ocean water snoring rose and fell within the cabin. I had nothing better to do, so I began to try to link the chaotic clues in my mind regarding Wild Mountain together, but no matter how I thought about it, I still felt that I was missing the most important link.

I need to find some people who know how to solve this, so there's no need to talk about Ji Xiang and the old man, Hu Guangzu might be hiding a lot of things, and Zhu Yingqiong is definitely Charles's person. As long as I can find one of them, I can solve this entire mystery.

After continuously smoking a few cigarettes with a throaty voice, I stood up and walked to the far end of the cabin to take a piss. When I returned to the campfire, I suddenly saw a half-squatting figure in the cabin.

The light from the bonfire wasn't very bright. At first, I thought that the sea had woken up, but as I quickly took two steps, I realized that something was wrong. I could already hear the sound of the sea snoring.

Who could it be?

Could it be Zhu Yingqiong? Ji Xiang? Hu Guangzu?

The names popped up in my mind, and I took off my hunting rifle, carefully moving it closer to the cabin. Throughout the entire process, my eyes never left the stooped, half-crouching figure, and I discovered that he had maintained that posture without moving, very strangely, like a hanging ghost.

I walked around to the side of the cabin door and looked up. In the dark cabin, a figure was squatting with his back to me in front of the sleeping sea. His hands were slightly shaking, and I didn't know what else to do.

Hu Guangzu?

My heart suddenly thumped, thinking to myself, what more does Hu Guangzu do sneakily?

Without hesitation, he stepped in front of the cabin door and roared: ”What are you doing?”

The figure paused for a moment before turning his face around. When I saw his face clearly, I sucked in a breath of cold air and blurted out, ”Sea!”

Only a pair of soybean-sized eyes could be seen staring fiercely at me. To my surprise, it was the ghost-like monster that I had torn apart the day before, the Bronze fox mask.

Hai Yang didn't die yet. When she heard my shout and stood up, her eyes fell on the monster in front of her. She was stunned for three seconds before she made a ”F * ck” sound.

The orc's chest exploded, and with a crash he was sent flying into a corner of the cabin, where he let out a series of angry roars that echoed through the dead forest. He rolled to his feet, and with a single step, he landed on the shoulder of the sea, clawing at its face with his sharp claws.

”Bow your head!”

I hastily shouted as my finger instantly pulled the trigger. A loud explosion sounded and the bullet shot out, directly hitting the head of the Beastman and blasting his body away. His entire face was completely smashed, and his four limbs spasmed for a few moments before completely falling silent.

Hai Yang was still in a state of shock. She picked up her backpack and threw it to me and said, ”Let's go! That beast was begging for help just now!”

The double-barreled shotgun could only be loaded with two rounds of bullets. I filled in another round and followed Hai Yang's lead into the forest. After about ten meters, I suddenly saw a large crowd of people hanging on a tree right in front of us.

They were like monkeys swaying on a tree branch. Their entire bodies were covered with black hair, and their slender bodies were like large flower vases, but each of their heads were the size of a fish tank. With a flash of the flashlight, all of them brought with them bronze fox mask, which looked extremely strange, as though they were looking down at us from above with a sinister grin.

A series of low roars came out from their mouths. They were very similar to the roars of cattle, but their roars were even louder, resounding through the forest. At a glance, there were at least a hundred of them.

Hai Yang held her hunting rifle and cursed loudly, ”Damn it, we've come to someone else's nest!”

I also started to retreat nervously. As I spoke to Hai Yang, ”Don't move yet. Animals normally don't attack humans first. Unless they feel threatened, we can slowly retreat!”

”Retreat my ass, we've been picked up!”

The ocean roared and pulled me towards the forest. However, the moment we moved, a series of deep roars sounded out from beside us. Following that, I saw the beastmen that were hanging on the tree begin to jump down in unison, like dumplings being dropped, the scene was extremely shocking.

From all over the forest, countless Beastmen had drilled their way out and were rushing towards us like a tidal wave. I saw that their sharp claws had already opened and under the Bronze Fox Face's mask, they revealed a bloody mouth full of fangs.

Kacha!

Kacha!

Hai Yang was the first to fire, two bullets whizzed out, knocking back the two Beastmen who were at the front, causing them to retreat. Originally, they thought that they would be able to intimidate the Beastmen, but obviously the Beastmen were not afraid, and continued to charge forward, one after the other. Hai Yang did not have time to change bullets, so he could only carry his gun on his back, took out his dagger and rushed into the crowd of Beastmen.
