The night in the primeval forest is the quietest, unlike in the city where there is no light at all.

There was some light in the cabin in the woods, but as the kerosene lamp in the house went out, the whole house fell into silence, as if an invisible black hand swallowed up the house at night.

Next to the fireplace on the first floor, Li Deyang and his team members were resting and chatting from time to time.

"Uncle Li, we sent out the letter to the headquarters for help only the day before yesterday. It's only been two days... Even if they were faster, the special team wouldn't come today, right?" Chen Han expressed his suspicion about these people who claimed to be the [Mask] team but whose origins were unknown, and then added:

"Besides, that guy with the Uzumaki mask came up and tore down our door. He doesn't look like a good guy, does he?"

Hearing this, Li Deyang thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Chen, I think you're thinking too much. Our place is so remote, if they are not a special team, why are they here? They can't be here for sightseeing, right?

Besides, this is the border of Daxia. If you go a dozen kilometers further into the forest, you will reach a world shrouded in fog. I don't think anyone would have the time to come to a place like this."

"But, there were tourists who came here in the past few years, but they all disappeared inexplicably. What if they were lying to us and went into the woods on purpose?

In that case, wouldn't they be in danger? Or are they bad guys? "Chen Han was gradually convinced by his own words, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Just as Chen Han wanted to say something.

"That's enough." Li Deyang interrupted him, "How can it be such a coincidence... Go to bed quickly, and see if you can help the Mask team tomorrow."

"Okay...ok, Uncle Li." Chen Han stopped talking, closed his eyes silently, and leaned his head to the side.

But neither of them fell asleep. The words just now really woke Li Deyang up, and the two of them just thought with their eyes closed.

……

"Captain, why do we have to spend the night here?" Uzumaki asked in confusion.

Wang Mian did not reply immediately, but turned to look at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen understood and said, "Didn't we discover more than a dozen mysterious 'Chuan' realms during the day? There is a problem here, that is, they are all approaching this hut from different places... and they dare not get too close.

...If nothing unexpected happens, during the day, sunlight or other factors may limit their movements, so there is a certain chance that they will choose to attack the hut at night."

"Mystery is heading towards this hut?" Uzumaki was puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. Is there something attracting them here? Or are they being forced to head here on purpose?"

"I don't think the problem lies here. Their target may not be this cabin, but the city behind it." Chen Chen guessed, "Either they need to eat humans, or they want to create chaos for some purpose."

"If it's about creating chaos..." Tianping's expression became serious, "The gods would naturally disdain to do such a thing, so it must be their agent."

"I think it's very likely." Chen Chen nodded.

Uzumaki on the side shook his head and said, "Even if we want to create chaos, there is no need to do this. Can't we just go to the city center? Isn't it redundant to do this at the border?"

The few people who had just come up with an idea fell silent again... What Uzumaki said made sense logically, which meant that the other party's purpose for doing this was not just this, but the target was in this forest...

"There's no need to draw conclusions so early." Wang Mian suddenly said, "If those 'mysterious' people really come tonight, we can follow the clues to find out."

Several people nodded in unison, then closed their eyes, resting their minds, waiting for the arrival of their targets at night.

The dim sky became even darker at this time, and the forest at night revealed a strange atmosphere.

The shadows in the dark are disappearing silently into the darkness.

——Squeak!

A strange rustling sound could be heard faintly, like the sound of some animal stepping on fallen leaves.

Chen Han, who was sitting next to the stove on the first floor, got up immediately after hearing the strange noise. He was a light sleeper and soon realized something was wrong.

So he hurriedly shook Li Deyang with his hand. In the dark room, he whispered, "Uncle Li, there is movement outside. It seems that the group of 'mysterious' people from before has arrived."

Li Deyang, who was in a daze, woke up immediately after hearing the word "mysterious" as if in a stress response, "Let's go and wake up the Mask team."

Just from the noise outside, one could tell that there were at least a dozen of them, which was beyond their ability to handle.

This amount of 'mystery' is enough to tear them to pieces in just one minute.

Bah——!

A 'mysterious' wolf-like creature about two meters long broke into the wooden wall of the house. The wooden wall seemed like paper in front of it and could not withstand a single blow.

Li Deyang's eyes widened. He just stood up and before he could do anything else, this group of mysterious people broke through the wall.

Just as the 'mysterious' creature pounced in mid-air, a light blue light flashed by, and the 'mysterious' neck was instantly separated, leaving only a smooth knife mark.

The moment the leading pioneer 'mysteriously' died, the leader of the wolf pack outside sensed the danger. With a loud roar, the entire pack began to run into the woods like crazy.

"Captain, chase them!" Xuanwo had already stepped one foot out of the door and shouted to Wang Mian anxiously.

"It's useless. We may not be able to catch them in the forest at night... Besides, we can't always expect a wolf to talk, right?" Wang Mian shook his head and looked at Li Deyang and the others.

"We don't really know." Li Deyang waved his hand helplessly, "These 'mysterious' creatures have never attacked us at night like today before. This is the first time, so I don't know what is going on."

After thinking for a few minutes, Wang looked thoughtful, then said comfortingly: "Don't worry, they won't come again tonight, we will deal with it tomorrow."
