blue whales under the stars

It was cloudy when we set off, and the sky was gray when we went out.Mu Ye stood on the beach with his small bag on his back and looked up at the sky. When Mr. Lanjing finished setting simple restrictions on the stone house and came over, Mu Ye asked worriedly, "Will it rain today?"

Bai Cang followed the other person's movements and looked up. He had lived in the sea for a long time, and knew much more about the weather by the sea than Mu Ye.Reaching out to help the young man organize the light backpack, Bai Cang said, "No."

After hearing his words, Mu Ye no longer worried about the rain.He reached out and took the initiative to hold Mr. Blue Whale's cool right hand: "Then let's go!"

The warm touch came from the palm, Bai Cang's eyes dimmed, and he responded softly: "Okay."

It was still early when passing through the town, and the fishermen in the small town who lived by the sea had already started their day's work. The place where the stone house was located was not the usual place to go to sea, so the two of them didn't meet anyone on the beach, but when When they left through the town, they could clearly feel the busyness of the town.Even though Bai Cang had taken Mu Ye to deliberately bypass the usual morning market road, what they saw along the way was still much more lively than when they came yesterday.

Although he didn't stay here for a long time, because of Mr. Blue Whale, this town has a special meaning to Mu Ye.When he left the small town and walked into the countryside, Mu Ye turned his head and glanced towards the seaside, and then turned his head to look at Bai Cang beside him.

Bai Cang stretched out his hand, and wiped away the fluff that stuck to the side of the boy's face.He didn't say anything else, and the two of them walked side by side in the direction of Tamar City marked on the map.

After leaving the town, the surrounding environment gradually became desolate.Mu Ye has always been in this kind of road conditions all the way, but he has already adapted to it early.The town is located in a remote place, and the traffic is not well developed. Regular caravans come only once a month or so.It was only two weeks since the last large-scale trip, so the two chose to walk to Tamar City.

Tamar City is the largest city in the nearby area, and it is also a seaport. Its prosperity is several levels higher than that of a small town.Because of the proximity to the sea, the soil all the way from the small town of Daotama is somewhat sandy, and the wild forests in the suburbs are not too lush.A vague road enough for several people to walk side by side was stepped out between the bushes full of weeds, and the traces of cars and horses passing by before could still be seen on the road.

The two walked together all the way, and the road was not so boring.Mu Ye had walked most of the way to the beach before, and he was used to traveling alone, but when he was with Bai Cang, he found that he and Bai Cang always had endless topics to talk about.

Mr. Lanjing's personality is definitely not talkative, but he will seriously respond to every word of Mu Ye, and occasionally asks about something, he will also give Mu Ye a popular science.Halfway through this way, Mu Ye listened to several stories, and while being distracted, he didn't feel tired at all.

Near noon, the sky was still gloomy and the sun could not be seen.But it was really like what Bai Cang said, it didn't rain.The two found a slightly flat open space and had lunch, eating bread with butter and jam.Bai Cang ate two of the rose fruit that Mu Ye had brought before, and the remaining three were made into jam, placed together with other colorful jam bottles, and safely put into Mu Ye's storage ring inside.After eating, Mu Ye ran to pick up some fresh fallen leaves, and the two continued on their way.

The weather in the afternoon was even more cloudy. Since they set off at noon, the sky was so dark that it seemed to have entered the evening early.Bai Cang frowned and looked at the sky, and called back Mu Ye who had gone to study the shape of leaves on the side of the road: "Xiao Ye, don't stay too far away from me."

Mu Ye ran back in response, and he also looked at the sky: "It's getting dark so early today..."

Bai Cang had some bad premonitions, but he couldn't explain it to Mu Ye in detail at this time. He took out the map and looked it over carefully, and chose another road that was a little farther but wider, and continued to move forward with Mu Ye. Walk.When he left this time, he didn't let go of Mu Ye's hand, and he was always vigilant about his surroundings, even when talking to Mu Ye, he became brief.

Having lived in the sea for so long, Bai Cang has naturally seen many visions.Generally speaking, there are only two reasons for the difference in weather color, one is weather changes, and the other is unnatural factors.If it was the first type, it wouldn't have much impact. Although the surrounding area was a bit remote and there were no trees lush enough to hide from the rain, it was not difficult to find a dry stone cave.If it really doesn't work, Bai Cang still has a tent on his body, if it's really a heavy rain, it will come and go quickly, as long as he can avoid the most violent attack.

What Bai Cang was really worried about was the second type. The move that caused such a big commotion was most likely the advancement of a high-level warrior or a primordial beast.Whether it is a warrior or a beast, the temper will not be too stable when it is advanced.It’s okay if you meet a peaceful one, but if you really meet a brutal and bloodthirsty senior...

Bai Cang couldn't help frowning.

When I went out this morning, the sea was flat and gulls were flying high, and there was no sign of heavy rain.The possibility of abnormal weather is extremely small, if any.But if we look at the second reason, as a beast spirit, Bai Cang has a natural advantage in the perception of high-level fighters and primordial beasts. If there is really a high-level advancement, he should have noticed it long ago.But from the cloudy sky in the early morning until now, Bai Cang still didn't perceive a clear breath.

This dazed state of not knowing where to start is more disturbing than the awareness of obvious danger.Bai Cang could only protect Mu Ye by his side as much as possible, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.The town is located in a remote place, and they spent most of the day in the suburbs, even if they turned back on the spot, it would be difficult to find a place to hide.At this time, the sky was dark, and the entire surrounding area was shrouded in dark clouds, making it difficult to tell where the most dangerous core was.Bai Cang could only try to avoid areas with complex environments and walk towards the widest place.

As the two walked slower and slower, Mu Ye naturally noticed something strange.Changes in the weather are as capricious as a child turning his face, and the previous peaceful atmosphere has long since disappeared.They walked slowly, but the changes around them were so fast that they could be seen with the naked eye.The sky was so overcast that it seemed to be covered by a black cloth, and it was impossible to see the road three steps ahead.

Bai Cang's vision is not disturbed by the light, so even in the dark, he can still see the situation in front of him clearly, but Mu Ye can't do this. Since the sky just darkened, his pace has been slower than before. few.When Mu Ye came to the sea from the mountains, although he had seen all kinds of bad weather, he had never encountered such an abnormal situation.As time goes by, not only is the vision blocked, but the psychological defense is also constantly being impacted in this weird darkness.Mu Ye even felt a sense of trance—they had just had lunch on the green grass at noon, and it was only so long that they were in two worlds.

The continuous abnormal environment made people more nervous, and Mu Ye accidentally tripped over a tree branch growing under his feet.

"Well……!"

If it wasn't for Bai Cang who was on the side to quickly grab his collar, Mu Ye might have fallen to the ground head-on.He hadn't reacted yet, but Bai Cang was quite frightened.In the dark, Mu Ye couldn't see Mr. Lanjing's expression clearly. After he was supported to stand firmly, the bag on his back was taken off and taken away. The silver ring around his neck shook slightly, and the backpack was put into the storage ring. , Mu Ye's body was empty, and he was hugged by Bai Cang.

In the eerie darkness, Mr. Lanjing's voice remained low and calm. He whispered "Xiao Ye, hold me tight." This blew away the panic in Mu Ye's heart.Mu Ye reached out and hugged Bai Cang's neck, the cool body temperature gave him a solid feeling.Bai Cang lowered his head and pressed against his soft side face, then stopped talking, and silently accelerated his speed through the darkness.

The roads are full of weeds and bushes, and there is only a faint shadow of the stone wall after leaving the trail.Bai Cang hugged Mu Ye and went around to a slightly open place. A large black shadow had already appeared not far away. He thought that if he walked forward a short distance, he would find a sheltered place to shelter in.

But even so, before the two found shelter, they still encountered more difficult things.

The place is a bit open, and there is no wild bush growing at half a person's height, only the bare weeds under the feet.The two of them were in the dark void, like a bullseye exposed.Bai Cang has already quickened his pace and intends to leave here quickly, but when he walked to half of his body, he felt a sharp pain all over his body.

Bai Cang secretly felt something was wrong.He just paid attention to the surrounding breath, and confirmed that there were no living things around.However, this sudden effect at this time is obviously a formation that was set up on the spot and specially made for the primordial beast!

Although Bai Cang is already a beast spirit, he can't change the fact that he came from a primordial beast.The formation against the beast will naturally also work on him. The only fortunate thing is that Mu Ye, who is a human, will not be affected.

But since the formation can work on beast spirits, it must also be made for high-level primordial beasts, so since it has entered, it is impossible to leave easily.Bai Cang's expression was extremely cold. He didn't retreat blindly in an attempt to leave the formation, but turned his head to look into the darkness behind him.

The scope of the formation is not limited to this open space. If Bai Cang's feeling is correct, it is probably a large chain formation here. If you touch a corner, you will be directly trapped in the entire formation, and you cannot escape easily. If it is not, it is impossible to achieve its purpose - to trap an eighth-order primordial beast that is advancing.
