Chapter 199

“Coo… Coo…”

“Woo… Woo…”

The sound made by the unknown creatures appeared deep inside the quiet and colourful forest from time to time.

As the survivors moved forward, all kinds of bizarre spore plants started to appear, and the colour of the plants was no longer monotonous.

Chu Yunsheng had an illusion, and this illusion was very strong. He felt like he had already left Earth and entered a breathtaking world of spore plants, and he was with a group of “indigenous people” holding the arrows and sticks crossing a quiet ancient woodland.

There were many giant mushrooms, spiky “lotus sticks”, bloody cockscomb-like plants, long and thin stem plants that had a giant red sphere thing on top them; and many unknown strange green spore plants on the ground…

Rays of hazy shimmer were shed on this quiet and mysterious world from the gaps between the top of every plant. The mass of flocculent fluff floating between those strange plants were like ghosts. They were only visible when they reached the rays of light that were being cast down through the gaps of the plants.

Rustling sounds constantly appeared when they stepped on the plant’s “leaves”.

According to Li Xi’s analysis, those “leaves” contained a large amount of spore viruses, so what they were stepping on was actually a sea of deadly poison.

The road that the survivors showed Chu Yunsheng was a narrow and dark passage, it was only big enough for three people to walk side by side, there was a touch of a light shimmer at the end of the passage, although it was not strong, compared to the dark passage it was surprisingly bright.

Zhang Jia village was originally an old village in Ting Bai town. It was a small village that didn’t have many houses. At the moment, only a few of those houses were visible in between the strange spore plants, most of them were either covered by the plants or overturned by it.

Through the dark passage and after the “glowing exit”, it was an open area. It was surrounded by the prosperous spore forest with a few houses scattering around in the middle. With the hazy shimmer that was shed onto this small village, the windows of those houses were reflecting the glittering light. The entire small village looked like it had been isolated from the outside for centuries.

“Coo… coo…” Xiao Si looked around and carefully mimicked the sound of those strange animals.

Zhang Jia village was still very quiet.

“Coo… Coo…” under Zhang Zizhao’s instruction, Xiao Si made the sound a few times more.

Still nothing.

“Brother Zhao, do you want me to search the area?” Xiao Si said.

“It’s too dangerous, it might be a trap!” Zhang Zizhao shook his head. The sound Xiao Si made earlier was their secret code. Even though they had sent out the signals several times, they still didn’t get any response. So, it was either that the chief and the other people were not here, or because of some reasons, they couldn’t respond to them.

“What if the chief and the other people were already left, I have to search the area, if they were really here, they must have left something for us,” Xiao Si said.

Zhang Zizhao thought for a second and said, “okay, but you must be careful. If there is anything unusual, just run…”

His last word was to remind Xiao Si not to run back to them, but run somewhere else in case it would expose their hideout.

They had been living under the animal’s suppression for a very long time that they even forgot that there was someone even more powerful on their team.

What surprised Chu Yunsheng was that Xiao Si didn’t even show any signs of reluctance as if they had done it many times before.

“Edgar, guard the back, let me check the front,” Chu Yunsheng always felt that they were being followed by someone. However, he did not have the little tiger’s wind elemental ability, so he was not sure. Edgar had an energy shield, so the regular bullet wouldn’t harm him, and he would be able to stop the attack for a while if anyone attacked them from behind.

“Do any of you know how to use guns?” Chu Yunsheng looked around and asked.

Everyone, including Zhang Zizhao, shook their heads. Only Li Xi nodded his head.

“I’m not very familiar with guns, but I’m not a total amateur, however, what I have is textbook knowledge…” Li Xi said.

“I don’t want to know about this,” Chu Yunsheng interrupted him and said. Then he took out the gun that he got from Edgar’s old teammates and gave it to him. He also gave him a box of bullets as well, “once the fight starts, I won’t be able to protect you, you will need to protect yourself.”

All the survivors gasped in shock. This strange skywalker was like a magician, he could almost take anything out of his cloak.

“Oh right. Why didn’t you guys use the insect’s shell as a shield, and you guys also didn’t have any firearms?” Said Chu Yunsheng while aiming the gun at Xiao Si.

“We lost them yesterday during the escape, they were too heavy. We also had some guns, but we have already run out of bullets, so they are useless,” Li Xi shook his head.

“Shush!” Chu Yunsheng suddenly hissed. He suddenly felt a wave of energy fluctuation in the area, and it came from those houses in the village.

Chu Yunsheng pressed his finger closer to the trigger and was ready to fire.

All the survivors immediately held their breath, some people also took out their spears to get ready for the fight.

Suddenly, a loud screech rang out in the quiet village. It was loud and clear.

Then a giant green “Centipede’s head” slowly crawled out of a broken house, and as It was moving out, it’s head was moving up and down in the air. It seemed like it was trying to detect something.

Almost immediately, it noticed Xiao Si, who entered his territory. Its head, which was almost as big as three humans, slowly lowered and stared at Xiao Si.

Xiao Si was so scared that he instantly fell on the ground, at the same time, he was constantly kicking his feet on the ground trying to move backwards desperately. Chu Yunsheng could almost hear his cries.

This was the second time that Chu Yunsheng encountered this kind of monster. The first time he was still in the sky, and he was forced to land because of it.

Just when Chu Yunsheng locked his gun at the monster Qin Renbo, who was behind him, suddenly stopped him, “everyone, don’t move, it just shed its old skin, so don’t provoke it! Otherwise, the noise will attract more monsters…”

Just right after he said that, the monster slowly raised its head and slithered into the sky in the hazy shimmer.

Zhang Zizhao and other people quickly ran out of the passage and headed towards Xiao Si, “Xiao Si, are you alright?” Everyone was asking the same question.

Who would have thought that this monster would come to this place to shed its skin?

But there was also good news. If the monster was here, it meant that the animals from Wu city were not here.

“Fuck me, fuck… me, that scared the shit out of me…” Xiao Si’s chest was moving up and down rapidly, it seemed like he really was scared.

“Edgar, it seems like you were wrong, there is no one here, the second person lied.” Chu Yunsheng smiled at Edgar.

“I knew this fucker would betray us, you motherfucker!” Er Guai kicked Sun Daqian several times and said.

“What are you doing Er Guai! Stand aside!” Zhang Zizhao instantly pulled Er Guai aside and shouted angrily.

“Brother Zhao, this fuc… ah!… forget about it…” Er Guai saw Zhang Zizhao was still trying to protect this guy, he gave up persuading him.

Zhang Zizhao took a deep breath and picked up Sun Daqian from the ground, “Da Qian, you saved my life before. I am not an ungrateful man, however, it’s about a hundred people’s lives! If you really did it, I will kill you myself. If you did not do it, I have owed you too much already, at that time, you can do whatever you like to me! ”

Sun Daqian’s mouth was gagged, so he only snorted.

“Let’s go to the secret tunnel.” Chu Yunsheng looked at the dark passage behind them and sneered.

If someone really followed him, and that person could keep his distance without being seen by him, then the person who followed him must be a wind elemental dark warrior.

“Mr. Lennon, are you sure about this?” This time, it was not Li Xi, it was Zhang Zizhao, once they entered the secret tunnel, then their only escape tunnel would be exposed to those animals.

“I will guard the back, if they really follow us, unless they kill me, there is no way they can reach you first, are you still worried?” Chu Yunsheng said.

Chu Yunsheng had already helped them a lot more than he should have, so Zhang Zizhao also felt embarrassed to ask more questions.

They then took a short break before they left Zhang Jia village. This time Zhang Zizhao was walking at the front to lead the group. Only he knew where the secret tunnel was and how to get there.

As they were travelling in the dark spore forest, they could see many green and red “lanterns” floating in the gaps between the strange spore plants, everyone was so scared that they tried to stay as close to each other as they could, no one dared to find out what exactly were those lanterns.

Almost half an hour later, they entered a passage that only allowed two people to walk in side by side.

A few minutes after they entered the passage, Zhang Zizhao suddenly raised his right hand to stop the people behind him. Then a faint and strange noise appeared in the dark place at the other end of the passage.

It was the noise that Xiao Si made earlier!

“Our own people!”

“Must be the chief!”
