Chapter 244 Who are you?
Chen Qinghan and Xiao Changfeng took turns chatting with him. The two of them cooperated to delay time. One said it was dark and it was too dangerous for him to go down the mountain alone; the other said that with his current physical strength, he might have fainted halfway through the road where he could not walk the car.
The man was told that he had no choice but to promise to rest for one night in our camp.
But he refused to enter the tent and insisted on staying outside. The fear he showed when he saw the tent was not like a false act.
Because fire could not be made in the forest, Chen Qinghan brought him a wind lamp, but the man seemed to be frightened and turned it off after snatching the lamp.
"Shh! Don't make a sound, don't turn on the light." The man was wrapped in mud from head to toe, and he couldn't see his appearance, but he should be a young man when he heard the sound.
"Don't worry, I heard that there are no large wild beasts in this forest area." Xiao Changfeng said with a smile.
"Who are you?" The man's reaction was half a beat slow, and he remembered to ask who we were.
"Oh, we are from the Earthquake Bureau, come here to do a survey." Chen Qinghan's scholarly temperament is very deceptive. As long as he says he is an expert or something, basically others will believe it.
This man looked at Chen Qinghan and Xiao Changfeng, and then at Ganlu and me. We were two men and two women, without weapons on our bodies, and looked harmless.
The man relaxed his vigilance a little, but he still refused to go into the tent to rest. He sat in the dark and glanced at the shaking grass from time to time, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out.
Chen Qinghan signaled me to Xiao Changfeng and Ganlu, and do whatever we should do. However, we were men and women sleeping separately, but now we have made a little adjustment. Xiao Changfeng and Ganlu crawled into a tent, and Chen Qinghan and I entered another tent.
The appearance of this person may mean the danger that comes with us, so we must be prepared to fight and be with our partners.
It was about the second half of the night, and at about one or two o'clock, the man outside became even more alert. He left the pile of stones and found a pile of bushes to climb in.
Xiao Changfeng asked him if he had encountered a beast, so he was so scared.
He followed Xiao Changfeng's words and said it was right. There was a wolf in the forest. He had encountered a lone wolf and escaped from the wolf's claws by chance. He always felt that it was nearby and was ready to attack him at any time.
The locals said that they hadn't seen wolves for some years. The old ranger also said in the recording that it was safer to patrol the mountains and there were no wild animals in this forest. Therefore, when the young ranger suspected that the poacher was attacked by the wolves, the old ranger did not believe it.
Moreover, according to Chen Qinghan, this forest has always been like this. It was not because of the appearance of poachers that the wild beasts disappeared. For hundreds of years, there have been no large wild beasts, robes, pheasants, martens, and foxes in this place, but there are no wild beasts like bears, tigers, and wolves.
Sometimes people often take certain things for granted. When they hear that there are no wild animals in the forest, they naturally think that they have been wiped out. In many cases, this is the truth, but in a few times, the truth is not the case.
Chen Qinghan pulled out the big sword from his waist and drove in. One of the reasons was that this thing could not pass the security check.
I used my brain to "listen" the movements around me, thinking that perhaps the creatures attacking the poachers had some IQ. If they came again, I could listen to some insider information.
The cool night wind blew, causing the leaves to rustle, and another sound mixed with the sound of nature was almost uncheckable, but it was only almost, not completely uncheckable, so I heard something approaching our tent!
I asked Chen Qinghan for instructions and wanted to go out and take a look first. This tent is newly bought. If it is really something that attacks the poacher, then we can take the initiative to fight and save some money.
I tiptoed out of the tent, holding a metal stick in my hand.
Rust...rust...
The tiny sound was getting closer and closer. I ran over to the sound. The moonlight shone through the treetops. I walked through a bush and met something.
This thing is at least two meters tall, with limbs as thin as a reed stick, a head is extremely large, and a single horn is on its head. Looking down, its feet are two hooves, the size and shape are exactly the same as the footprints we saw before.
Although it has a high body, its hooves are very light when they land. Xiao Changfeng also said that judging from the depth of the footprints, the creature's weight will not exceed 80 kilograms.
Now it seems that his judgment is correct. This creature is tall and thin, with a thin chest cavity and abdomen as thin as an empty paper tube, and a thin limbs as an arthropod. The heaviest part on the whole body is probably the big head.
There were companions behind it. They were originally lined up, but my appearance disrupted their formation. The companions behind it stood on its side and posed for a stance against me.
Their eyes are similar to bees and spiders. They have no eyelids but only large eyeballs that are protruding. The eyes occupy two-thirds of the face, so other parts seem to have no presence.
They wear clothes made of branches and leaves, which are a bit like primitive people. They know that wearing clothes should be wise creatures.
——Great Blood Mother, please save us.
I just thought that they might be wise, but I received a message in my mind.
When it ‘talks’, its eyes will glow slightly, light and dark, and have a sense of rhythm, as if it is talking with its eyes.
"Who are you...?" I searched all my memories, but I couldn't find any images that could overlap with their images.
Of course, my memories are still recovering, and there are still many memory contents that have not been unlocked, so it is possible not to remember them.
But the other party immediately called out the correct name of our clan, which obviously means that people who know me or who can recognize our clan at a glance should be old acquaintances.
——Kumkuka.
The message sent to me by the other party touched my blind spot in knowledge. I asked with a confused look on my face: "What does it mean?"
——Rock miner.
When I heard this title, I felt a little familiar. At this time, Chen Qinghan's voice came from behind me, and he was calling me.
"I'm fine, wait and watch that person." I shouted in a tight voice to Chen Qinghan who was walking over.
If I can communicate with this group of creatures, I must not let outsiders know that the man who claims to be a hiker is very evil and cannot let him hear my secret.
Chen Qinghan responded, told me to be careful, and then turned around and walked back.
"Oh... I remember, are you the strong men who eat rocks?" They actually have another layer of identity, but I took into account their face and didn't say it out.
The rock miners are slaves to the Ta people. The Ta people live underground for a long time and dig holes underground all day long. These miners work specifically for them.
