This time, there was no tree hole, and Chu Rui did not find a very safe place.
With no other choice, Chu Rui ignored the strong objections of Feng Tian and the others and resolutely sent them into the Qiankun Bowl to rest. As for him, he had no way to go under the Qiankun Bowl, so he found a place formed by the intersection of six branches of a big tree. It was like a natural tree nest, and he used it as his resting place for tonight.
Chu Rui understood that Feng Tian and the others were worried about him. However, in this dark night, it was not good to have too many people if he wanted to be safe. Having too many targets was equivalent to being a bigger target, and it would be easier to be discovered by predators.
Even if he was sleeping, if he slept in such a place, it was equivalent to stepping into Yama's palace. Chu Rui's three years of life as an assassin had long developed the ability to recover his energy even if he slept lightly. However, Feng Tian and the others could not. Therefore, relatively speaking, it was better for them to sleep deeply in the Qiankun Bowl. They did not have to worry about sneak attacks, and they did not have to be afraid that they would unknowingly report to Yama's palace while still sleeping.
They did not take out blankets or other things to use as cushions or blankets. Even though these things were very common in Chu Rui's world, they were very novel to these predators in the ancient forest. The smell emitted by these things was enough to attract the attention of those very sensitive predators. Then, they would sell him and completely expose his hiding place.
Lying on the hard trunk, Chu Rui raised his head and looked at the bright moon that was releasing a silver brilliance through the gaps of the dense leaves. He felt a little emotional.
In this unfamiliar and dangerous place, in this quiet world, admiring the moon like this gave him a special feeling in his heart.
I wonder how Sister Qin and the others are doing!
Unconsciously, Chu Rui thought of Sister Qin, Chen Xiaofei, Sasha, Liu Shuying, Ni Xing 'er, and Tianer …
He had only stayed online for two days, but it felt like a long time had passed.
When he entered the Qiankun Gate and passed through the special passage containing the power of chaos, the power of chaos stimulated the memories left in the Forbidden Set, revealing them one by one in Rui's sea of consciousness. From Pangu's creation of the heavens and earth to the primordial world, then to the Investiture of the Gods, and then to a world without gods … Thus, the entire world had evolved! Chu Rui had no idea how many years had passed since then. Even though it had only been a short while in reality, Chu Rui's heart had already changed.
The moon waxes and wanes!
Admiring the moon was the best way to trigger homesickness. Even Chu Rui was no exception.
Even though Chu Rui had the experience of not going offline for a long time, and Sister Qin and the others knew that he had important matters to attend to, they would not disturb him. However, when he thought of their worried and haggard faces, Chu Rui could not help but feel a pang of heartache.
He had to settle this quickly!
His eyes narrowed, and Rui fiercely made up his mind!
Tomorrow, he had to speed up the process!
Taking a deep breath, Chu Rui shifted his gaze away from the bright moon. Leaning against the sturdy tree trunk, he closed his eyes and rested.
There was not much time left, so he had to rest as much as he could.
The cold night was always cold and cheerless. The temperature of the night was very low. A heart that was not warm made one feel even colder.
In his sleep, Chu Rui could not help but curl his body slightly, trying to get his limbs closer to his body to warm it up.
"Rustle …"
A cool breeze blew past, bringing with it not only bone-chilling coldness, but also the soft sound of leaves rubbing against each other.
The forest was quiet, and the mountain was quiet.
The silent world made one feel lonely, but the sound of leaves rubbing against each other made one feel boundless loneliness.
Rui's brows furrowed tightly. Even in his dreams, he could feel the loneliness and solitude of being the only person in this world.
The dark night, the cold heart!
"Puff puff puff …"
The sound was so soft that it was almost undetectable. With the help of the soft breeze, it was as if it did not exist.
Above Chu Rui, there was a small black bird about five meters long. It was a creature that looked like a crow. It gently flapped its wings and flew towards Chu Rui, who was lying in the unique natural nest surrounded by six tree trunks.
Danger was approaching step by step. However, Chu Rui was still frowning. His eyes were tightly shut, and he did not notice it at all. His slightly curled body symbolized the coldness he was feeling and the uneasiness in his heart.
However, no matter how strong he was, no matter how arrogant he was, he was still a young man in his twenties. Even if he had experienced so much, it could not change the fact that he was still a young man.
Getting closer bit by bit, the black crow's three strange eyes released endless greed. It was as if in the next moment, it had already tasted the fresh meat of a prey that it had never seen before.
As a top predator, what was the most important thing? It was not strength, but patience! Even though the prey below had fallen into a deep slumber and had no consciousness to resist, the three-legged, three-eyed black crow did not impatiently rush down to kill him. Instead, it very patiently maintained the same speed of descent as before, and perfectly maintained its concealed aura. With the most stable posture, it strived to not make the slightest mistake.
"The prey is in my hands! The delicious meal is in my hands! "
When the three-legged three-eyed black crow was less than a meter above Chu Rui, the greed in its three eyes instantly expanded without limit. Its incomparably sinister aura also immediately dispersed. At the same time that it exposed itself, the sharp claws on its three legs (three legs were three toes, not three feet) fiercely stabbed towards Chu Rui's body. At the same time, its head drooped down and its incomparably sharp beak pierced towards Chu Rui's forehead between his eyebrows.
A double attack, a double fatal attack!
How treacherous, how vicious. Originally, the prey was asleep, so it was impossible to defend against a sneak attack at such a close distance. Moreover, it was a double fatal attack. Even if it had god-like consciousness and god-like reflexes, it would definitely be filled with hatred.
Its sharp claws pierced its heart, and its beak pecked its head!
No matter what kind of creature it was, it could not escape death! The three-legged three-eyed black crow's eyes revealed a smug look. Its plan of inviting Chu Rui into its jar had succeeded once again. Another prey had voluntarily delivered itself to become its delicious meal!
