Looking at the locked door, Mu Tieying opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
But in the end, she closed her mouth and looked helpless.
There was food and water in the safe house, so these people would not starve to death. They would just have to suffer a little.
The sky was getting dark. Gao Peng raised his watch and looked at the time. It was almost seven o 'clock.
"Looks like we can only rest in the wild for a night." Gao Peng looked at the forest. It was not realistic to look for a new safe house now, although there were safe houses on the way here.
But since there were people who found this place, it meant that the safe houses on the way here must have been crowded. Gao Peng did not dare to bet all his hopes on the kindness of others. If they did not agree to let him in, then he would have wasted a lot of time.
"It's not safe to continue searching in front. There are no caves around. Let's just build a simple shelter on the tree," Gao Peng said.
"That's good too," Mu Tieying nodded in agreement.
The two found two trees not far from each other in the dense forest in the west. The tree trunks were straight and forked three to four meters above the ground. It was perfect for building a platform for sleeping.
Gao Peng took some branches and built a simple platform on the forked trunk. It was in a circular shape, and the surface was covered with a layer of thin branches. Then, he added a wide leaf. Finally, he sprinkled a layer of fine debris on top of the wide leaf. A simple platform was built just like that.
Mu Tieying's hands-on skills were quite good. She imitated Gao Peng's movements and built a simple platform.
The two half-baked people built two temporary platforms in the wild and prepared to make do with it for the night.
Lotus Seed leaned against the tree that Mu Tieying was resting on. She leaned her head against the tree trunk and squinted her eyes. She stood on the ground and took a nap.
Da Zi, on the other hand, used all his limbs to lie on the tree trunk. His sharp limbs hooked deeply into the tree trunk, and he was more than two meters above the ground.
The sky was getting darker, and night gradually covered the entire forest. Night came earlier in the valley than in other places.
The visibility in the forest was getting lower and lower.
The forest at night was a little hot and humid. Fortunately, he had applied the Mosquito Repellent Grass juice on his body, so there weren't many mosquitoes.
High above the treetops, a light figure shuttled through the treetops like a shadow, approaching from afar.
Its pitch-black body blended perfectly into the night. If it weren't for its two blue eyes, one wouldn't even be able to see its appearance. Its body blended perfectly into the night.
The monster's body was slender, and every step it took on the branches did not make a sound. It looked extremely agile.
The monster was small in size, only two meters long and one meter tall. In the wild, its size was not considered scary.
It was as if a black shadow was shuttling through the dense forest. With a leap, it jumped from one tree to another.
Stepping on a branch, the branch sank, and the dense leaves swayed gently.
As the monster got closer and closer, a murderous aura filled the night.
Lotus Seed suddenly woke up, and its huge feet frantically stomped on the ground, making muffled sounds. * Dong dong dong ~ *
"Roar, roar!" The lotus seed roared furiously.
The roar woke up Mu Tieying and Gao Peng.
The urgent roar reverberated in the quiet forest, startling countless existences.
Gao Peng and Da Zi were awakened from their sleep. They looked up abruptly and saw the black shadow on the branches slowly approaching. Suddenly, it sensed that its prey had been awakened.
The monster had just lifted its foot, but it was still hanging in the air.
Their eyes met.
The scene was awkward.
Mu Tieying remembered what Gao Peng had warned her before. If she encountered a dangerous creature, she should quickly run to Lotus Seed's side. Without hesitation, she jumped onto Lotus Seed's back.
Gao Peng also slid down the tree trunk. Da Zi let go of its foot and landed on the ground with a thud. Then, its body turned into a semicircle and protected Gao Peng in front of it. It let out a threatening roar, opening and closing its mouth. Its eyes were ferocious. Extremely ferocious!
The dense canopy above their heads obscured much of the moonlight. The appearance of the unknown creature on the branches could not be seen clearly. They could only vaguely make out a blurry black shadow, and its two eyes, as bright as light bulbs, were particularly eye-catching in the dark.
"It should be a Shadow-type or Darkness-type creature. This kind of monster is at its strongest at night. Should we run or fight?" Mu Tieying said cautiously. She did not dare to speak too loudly for fear of angering the monster.
Gao Peng had already seen the monster's data frame. It was a Normal-grade Level 15 Shadow Leopard. However, for some reason, he did not reveal the monster's true identity. In such weak light, how could he tell the monster's true identity?
Gao Peng, who knew the monster's true identity, did not dare to be careless.
Leopards had strong explosive power, and this Shadow Leopard could blend into the night. Combined with its explosive power, it was the perfect killer.
In the dark of the forest, visibility was not high. The few of them did not dare to rashly escape. Otherwise, they would be exposing their backs to the beast. This was a dangerous action, and it would only stimulate the monster's ferocity.
The current situation was like using a hemp stick to beat a wolf. Both sides had their fears and apprehensions.
"Awoo — Woof! Woof! "
The stalemate was suddenly broken by a Husky.
A Mossy Derp Husky suddenly rushed into the situation and ran in front of Gao Peng. Its tall and strong body stirred up a gust of wind. Gao Peng did not dare to be careless and hurriedly hid behind a tree. This Husky did not know its place. It looked like a pure-blooded and was very dangerous.
What was the Husky doing here at this time? Gao Peng was a little puzzled.
The Husky excitedly ran in front of Gao Peng and barked loudly at Gao Peng.
Every bark was an authentic bark.
It was extremely excited.
To be honest, Gao Peng was now very disgusted with this Mossy Derp Husky.
This Husky was really a little stupid.
Couldn't you see that everyone was doing something serious? Running over like this would ruin the atmosphere and make everyone nervous.
Gao Peng very calmly said to the Husky, "Scram."
When the Husky saw that Gao Peng was finally paying attention to it, it thought that Gao Peng was praising it. It excitedly ran in circles on the spot and crazily ran in the forest.
The Shadow Leopard standing on the tree branch looked at the Husky with a deep expression.
Bang!
Coincidentally, the Husky crashed into the tree where the Shadow Leopard was standing.
The Shadow Leopard's sharp claws popped out from the bottom of its feet and hooked onto the tree branch to stabilize its body.
After looking deeply at the Mossy Derp Husky under the tree, the Shadow Leopard slowly retreated and merged into the darkness behind it …
The Husky did not notice the Shadow Leopard above its head at all and continued to run in circles happily.
The moment it retreated, the Shadow Leopard suddenly exploded and turned into a black afterimage. Its speed was so fast that Gao Peng's retina could not catch it. He only saw the afterimage flash, escape, and leap. The Shadow Leopard was nowhere to be seen.
