Chapter 224: Giant Beast in the Mountain

A few minutes later, as everyone was stunned, a figure as huge as a mountain slowly walked towards them from a distance.

Because of the obstruction of trees, it was difficult for people to see its full appearance, but just by looking at its four thighs as thick as the stone piers of an overpass, one could tell how astonishing the size of this mutant beast was.

This mutant beast walked slowly. The slowness here refers to the frequency of its movements, but because of its huge size, its speed was actually not slow at all.

The mutant beast's thighs that everyone saw had no scales on them, but appeared extremely rough, with thick dark gray cuticles growing all over them.

Qin Zhong estimated that if a fight really broke out, it would take a lot of force for his Tang sword to break through its defense.

Through the mottled leaves, Qin Zhong was shocked to find that this giant beast was at least five meters tall, like a five- or six-story building. Even if he was just watching from a distance, he still felt extremely shocked.

You know, Wukong and Qin Da are both level two, and their height after enlargement is no more than three meters. If you take turns like this, this giant beast is probably at least level three, or even level four.

The giant beast passed by Qin Zhong and his companions one kilometer away and soon disappeared without a trace, leaving only a gust of wind as it faded away. Everyone was stunned for a long time, looking at each other, and only after being comforted by Qin Zhong did they set off again.

Around five o'clock, Qin Zhong and others finally walked out of the valley after nearly three hours of arduous journey. In front of them was a sunken basin. It gets dark quickly in winter. At this time, the sun began to set and the sky gradually darkened.

"Let's rest here for one night!" Qin Zhong looked at the surrounding environment and asked everyone to stop.

The trees here seemed to be of the same species, with branches covered with fine tentacles hanging down from the trunks. From a distance, they looked like upside-down pythons.

The dense leaves were so dense that they blocked out the afterglow of the setting sun. Qin Zhong, Wang Boshen, Zhou Luosen and others used machetes to cut down some of the dense branches nearby, and the space suddenly became wider.

"Why does it feel so eerie here!"

Looking around, especially as it was getting dark, she felt as if there were monsters hiding in the wilderness. It seemed to be a psychological effect, and Chi Xinru felt a little uncomfortable.

"Me too!"

Gou Xiaoxiao followed suit and kicked the huge tree roots under her feet. There was almost no soil here, only a bunch of extremely twisted and tangled tree roots entangled with each other.

"Brother Qin, are there any trees like the ghost locust tree here? Do you want me to set them on fire?"

Xiao Yingyong has been thinking about what happened last time. He was inexplicably controlled by the ghost locust tree. If Qin Zhong had not rescued him, he would probably have become a pile of bones under the ghost locust tree.

Because of what happened last time, now whenever she sees these big trees, the first thing she wants to do is set them on fire.

"Don't scare yourself!"

Qin Zhong quickly stopped Xiao Yingyong's impulsive action. This is a mountain, not a residential area. There are trees and forests connected to each other here. Once a fire occurs, it will be disastrous. Don't let it burn down the trees instead of burning down the people themselves.

Besides, the depths of the mountains are like the sea. Who knows if there will be any rare birds and beasts? If a fire attracts a strange beast like the golden-winged eagle, they will be dead for sure.

……

After dissuading Xiao Yingyong, Qin Zhong looked around, frowned, and said, "However, everyone should be careful at night. After all, we are in the wild, don't fall asleep!"

I don’t know why, maybe because of what happened to Jiang Yiyi before, Qin Zhong always felt like he was being watched.

This feeling was vague, but it was everywhere. Although Qin Zhong looked behind and around several times along the way, he found nothing, but it still made Qin Zhong nervous all the way.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong asked Zhang Xiaozhuang to release the drone again and carefully check the surrounding environment from a high altitude to make sure there were no real problems.

After being reminded by Zhang Xiaozhuang that there was no problem, Qin Zhong scratched his head and finally released Wukong. Wukong, who had not returned to the forest for a long time, was very happy when he was released.

Qin Zhong had just told them not to go far tonight and to take good care of us when Wukong suddenly climbed up the tree and disappeared without a trace.

"This monkey is really hard to manage!" Qin Zhong muttered. He and the monkey were just friends, and there were no contractual restrictions. As its abilities grew, it became increasingly difficult to manage.

Qin Zhong secretly made up his mind that next time if he could meet a merchant from Planet T, he would ask if he had any golden hoop for sale!

At this time, Wang Boshen came over and said, "Qin Zhong, do we still need to sleep in separate tents tonight?"

Qin Zhong was startled. Seeing the worry in Wang Boshen's eyes, he asked, "Any good suggestions?"

Wang Boshen turned around and pointed at a large tree. "While Rosen and I were cleaning, we discovered a large hole in the trunk of that tree. He was still cleaning it. I estimated that if we squeezed in, it should be big enough for all of us to sleep..."

Qin Zhong looked in the direction Wang Boshen pointed, and could vaguely see a big tree that was so thick that five or six people could hug it. There was a dark hole in the tree. It seemed that this was what he was talking about.

"Are you afraid something might happen at night and want everyone to gather together?"

"Yes, if everyone still sets up tents, it will be comfortable to sleep, but if something happens, we may not be able to rescue in time. The situation in the mountains is very complicated, and there are all kinds of creatures that appear one after another. Night is when they are most active! I'm afraid..."

Although Wang Boshen hadn't finished speaking, Qin Zhong already understood everything. In his heart, he also believed that Wang Boshen's concerns were correct. After all, this was the end of the world. It would be more comfortable to be in a human community. In the mountains...

It’s better to do as Wang Boshen said and be honest, otherwise, you may not even know how you died!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong nodded and praised: "As expected of you, Comrade Lieutenant. You think more than me. Let's go and check out that tree hole. Just as you suggested, let's all stay there tonight!"

After hearing that Qin Zhong and Wang Boshen were safe, the people who had already started looking for a place to set up the tents put the tents back. Although they all felt that living together was inconvenient, most people did not say anything. After all, it was for safety.

Of course, the majority of people mentioned here naturally does not include Gou Xiaoxiao. She looked unwilling and muttered, "I should have stayed home earlier. It's okay to follow them into the mountains, but I can't even sleep well!"

Shi Dajin was afraid that her words would be heard by Qin Zhong and Wang Boshen and cause unnecessary trouble, so he quickly pulled down her clothes and whispered, "Wife, this is all for our own good. Sleeping together is at least safer! Don't say any more!"

Gou Xiaoxiao was actually just mumbling a little. If she was asked to not sleep with everyone else and set up a tent alone, she would not dare to do so. After all, the giant beast she saw before also scared her a lot.
