Uncle Chen heard our shouts and ran out of the tent. He was holding the knife that he had used to cut grass in the afternoon. I ran to Uncle Chen and said while panting,"Chen... Uncle Chen, there's a monster, there's a monster."
When Uncle Chen saw the three of us, he knew that we must have seen something. Uncle Chen passed the knife to me and said to us,"Go to the tent and take out the lights. Then, light a few more fires around the tent.”After the three of us took out the lights from the tent, Uncle Chen brought me towards the bonfire. Second Brother and Hei Zi stayed behind and started to light a fire around the tent.
I held a knife in my hand and followed behind Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen walked very slowly, as if he wanted to hear something different from the chaotic screams. When we were about to get close to the bonfire, I signaled Uncle Chen to stay on the tree.
Uncle Chen raised his head and looked at the tree. I looked at the tree with Uncle Chen, but when we raised our heads, there was nothing on the tree.
Uncle Chen and I looked at each other, then we slowly retreated. At this moment, Second Brother and Hei Zi had also lit up a bonfire. They had lit quite a number of bonfires, and the bright red light illuminated the entire tent.
The four of us gathered together. Uncle Chen asked,"What did you see just now? Why didn't I see anything when I went over just now?？”
" We were right next to the fire," Second Brother said." We were smoking and warming ourselves by the fire. When we looked up, we saw a pair of big eyes. Then we ran back together."”
Uncle Chen also found it strange after hearing that. He had also walked through this forest before. He had never seen such a thing before. Why would it appear when he was with us now?
"I've never seen this thing you're talking about before. All of you, be careful. According to what you said, this thing is probably not to be trifled with.”
The four of us huddled together, and the bonfire around us grew brighter and brighter, turning the night into day.
As the fire on my side grew bigger and bigger, the various cries in the forest also became more and more powerful. There were all sorts of noises, but none of them sounded like they were made by animals. It felt like we were in a crowded city with all kinds of weird noises.
We all looked up at the tree from time to time. I don't know how many times I looked up, but I saw that pair of eyes again. It was the same pair as before, but it seemed to be bigger than before.
"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, over here!" I whispered as I looked up at the tree. Uncle Chen, Second Brother, and Hei Zi all leaned towards me.
Uncle Chen looked up and saw those eyes. We all had weapons in our hands and were prepared. As long as this thing attacked us, we would go up and stab it. Just like that, we looked into those eyes, and those eyes looked back at us.
After watching for a while, Blackie whispered," I don't think this thing will move. We've been watching it for so long, but it doesn't seem to have moved at all."”
"En, I can see that too. Now, let's slowly retreat and see if this thing has any reaction.”Uncle Chen continued Blackie's words.
After saying that, we slowly retreated. When we retreated to another bonfire, that thing still didn't move. This made us feel puzzled. From the looks of it, it was definitely not a good thing. However, he was not moving. Could it be that it was waiting for an opportunity?
Uncle Chen said," No matter what this thing is, you have to be careful. You don't know when this thing will move."”
When Uncle Chen was halfway through his words, Hei Zi shouted," Look, this thing is crying."”
Hearing Hei Zi's words, we went over to take a look at that thing. Sure enough,'tears' started to flow from that pair of eyes. After these 'tears' dripped onto the bonfire, the flames became smaller. Seeing this situation, Uncle Chen said anxiously,"These tears can extinguish the fire. Let's quickly add fuel to the fire. Once the bonfire is extinguished, it will be difficult for us to leave this forest even if we have great abilities.”
Hearing Uncle Chen's words, we quickly went to add firewood to the bonfire. The " tears " were like a signal. As the " tears " began to flow, the surrounding trees began to shed " tears ". For a moment, our heads were almost completely covered by this eye-like thing.
"Uncle Chen, what's going on? Why are there eyes on this tree?”I asked anxiously.
Uncle Chen said," Don't worry about it. It seems that this thing is afraid of fire. You guys just watch the bonfire. Don't let the bonfire go out."
While we were talking, the eyes in the sky were like rain. The fire we lit was getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, we definitely won't be able to hold on.
"This won't do. There are more and more of these things. Our fire is about to be extinguished!”Second Brother said as he lit the fire.
"Let's gather together and look at a bonfire together!”I shouted. After Uncle Chen and the others heard my words, they all leaned towards me. We began to add firewood to the fire.
In less than a cigarette, our fire was extinguished by the tears. The surroundings suddenly darkened again, leaving only our bonfire burning.
"What the hell is this? Eh, Brother Shuang, are there holes in your clothes?”Blackie was furious at this unknown thing. He cursed.
I looked down at my clothes. There was indeed a small hole on it. I was still wondering how these small holes came about. At this time, Second Brother and Uncle Chen realized that their clothes were also full of small holes.
"What's going on? Why are there holes on our clothes one after another?”the second brother said.
I thought about it. The clothes were still fine when we were in the tent today. Even when the three of us were smoking together, the clothes were still fine. Could it be that those "tears" were behind it?
Thinking of this, I understood and said,"It's those 'tears'. We were too busy adding firewood just now. It must be those' tears 'that fell onto our clothes and made a hole. If that's the case, those' tears 'must be corrosive!"”
When we realized this, there was a rustling sound around us. Although the sound was not very loud, it was particularly ear-piercing among the chaotic screams.
We all vigilantly looked around. The rustling sound was getting closer and closer. The four of us looked at each other and told each other that something was approaching us.
The thing that made the rustling sound. When it entered our vision, we were all dumbfounded. It was a plant that we had never seen before.
This thing looked like a sunflower, but it was more than twice the size of a sunflower. This thing moved forward bit by bit. So the eyes on the tree we saw just now were the petals of this thing.
"Let's watch this fire. Look, when this thing is close to the fire, it doesn't move forward. This means that this thing is afraid of fire.”Uncle Chen said.
I nodded after listening and leaned closer to the fire. Listening to this rustling sound, I was sure that we were surrounded by these strange flowers.
There are at least seven or eight of these things in the places we can see. Looking at the group of strange flowers eyeing me like tigers, I really felt that tonight was going to be difficult.
Just like that, we looked at these strange flowers. Suddenly, a hole appeared in the center of these flowers. Seeing them like this, Uncle Chen was the first to feel danger. Uncle Chen shouted," Go back to the tent. This thing is going to spit water!”
When we saw these things become like this, we also felt that these things were going to show their might. After hearing Uncle Chen's shout, we ran into the tent together.
The moment we ran towards the tent, tears spurted out from the cracks in the center of these strange flowers. In that instant, the fire that we were guarding was extinguished by the tears.
When they arrived at the tent, Uncle Chen said,"Hurry up and sprinkle the 'igniting oil'(something similar to gasoline, used when lighting fires in the wild. It doesn't smell like gasoline and will catch fire if it catches fire) on the tent." We sprinkled the oil in the tent and then went out from the other corner.
As soon as he went out, Blackie shouted," Save me!”Under the light that was used to illuminate the tent, we saw that Blackie was being sucked by the strange flower. The strange flower was dragging Blackie up the tree. When I saw that Hei Zi was about to be dragged away by the strange flower, I panicked. I jumped up and waved my hand at the stem of the strange flower. As I slashed, Hei Zi and the petals of the strange flower fell to the ground.
Just like that, Hei Zi was considered safe. Uncle Chen took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it into the tent. With a " bang ", the entire tent was set on fire. The flames shot up into the sky.
At this time, we saw many strange flowers turn into ashes in the fire of the tent. This burst of fire had burned quite a number of those strange flowers.
The surrounding flowers that had not been burned seemed to be afraid of the fire. They all retreated in an instant. He disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, Blackie got up from the ground. After he got up, he cursed," F * ck, how the f * ck are you going to spend this money? They started sucking me as soon as I went out. Fortunately, Brother Shuang was fast enough. Otherwise, I would definitely be their dinner now.!”
Uncle Chen looked at the fire and said," It seems that these things won't dare to come back for a while. Let's quickly clean up and watch over this fire. We'll leave this place as soon as dawn comes."”
Uncle Chen picked up the flower that I cut off when I saved Hei Zi. Uncle Chen cut the petals with a knife. There were rows and rows of sharp spikes inside. Blackie felt a lingering fear when he saw this thing. If he was really sucked by the flower, he would definitely die a miserable death.
Blackie seemed to have not vented his anger yet, and he kicked the petal twice. When we packed up, we could vaguely feel that the sky was starting to brighten. This night had been torturous.
As the sky gradually brightened, the various cries in the forest slowly disappeared. In the end, the forest regained its peace. There was no sound at all.
We each carried our own backpacks and prepared to set off. Uncle Chen looked back at the place where the fire had burned last night and said,"It seems that there are many strange things in this forest. Let's walk faster today. It's best if we can reach Qishan before dark.”
Hearing Uncle Chen say that we can reach Qishan tonight, our tired bodies seemed to be filled with energy again. Following Uncle Chen's footsteps, we began the journey to Qishan again.
