Zhou Chen didn't dare to relax his vigilance at this time. He carefully searched the surroundings in the glimmer of vision, hoping to find a hint of the enemy.
But soon he confirmed that there were no suspicious traces around him, not only there were no footprints, but there were no traces of weeds being trampled on.
"You may be too nervous."
The man in shorts draped in a weed braid smiled when he saw Zhou Chen's appearance.
"I paid attention to your side just now. I didn't see anything suspicious behind you at the time."
The single ponytail girl sitting on the weed mat also said.
"My feeling is definitely not wrong...I can be sure now that there is weirdness in this forest. It's best not to sleep too hard at night."
Zhou Chen had already searched the nearby area at this time. Although he hadn't found any traces of monsters, he had entered a state of high alert in his heart.
Hearing his words, the man in weed shorts was speechless. In silence, he threw two shrub branches into the fire in front of him to maintain this precious heat source.
"Why don't we take turns to watch the night?"
The girl seemed to think that she could not be too careless and gave advice.
However, before anyone could answer her, the man in the weed shorts suddenly turned around, and the axe in his hand slashed to his back.
When his back was facing the fire, Zhou Chen and the single ponytail girl saw that a part of the weed on his back had broken, and three slender wounds were exposed at the break.
"There is really a monster near here! It just attacked me!"
The man in shorts had a serious tone at this time. He held an axe in his hand and glanced around, trying to use the light of the fire to find the traces of the monster.
Zhou Chen and the single ponytail girl also walked to his vicinity to help find them.
But a few minutes later, the three found that they had nothing to gain.
"Is this monster invisible?"
The girl took the lead in telling her guess.
"It's possible... it may not only be invisible, but it may also fly."
Zhou Chen judged that it might not need to touch the ground through the monster attack without leaving any traces.
"This Silent Forest is really fucking... There is such a monster... But I also have good news here, this kind of monster's attack power is not very strong."
The man in weed shorts reached out to his back and touched the wound on his back.
"It only left me with minor injuries just now."
"But today is only the first night. If you accumulate more minor injuries, you will get serious injuries."
Zhou Chen faintly and authentically.
"It seems that we can't rest anymore... It's no use taking turns to watch the night... I didn't find how the monster attacked you just now..."
The girl frowned at this time.
"I have a method that may be useful."
Suddenly Zhou Chen's inspiration flashed at this moment.
"what way?"
The other two looked at him upon hearing this.
"I just perceived that the dangerous position was the back, and you were attacked on the back... I wonder if we all leaned back against the fire, would it be better..."
Zhou Chen looked at the man in weed shorts,
"If the monster still attacks from our back, it will be scorched by the fire, and if it is from the front, the probability of our counterattack will increase greatly."
As soon as the man in shorts heard Zhou Chen's words, his eyes lit up, and he threw the weed clothes on his back that was about to break into the fire in front of him, increasing the firepower of the fire, and then leaned back. The fire was seated.
He is relatively close to the fire. If that kind of monster attacks from behind him, it will inevitably be burned by the fire, and if it is from the front, the axe he is holding can immediately counterattack.
Zhou Chen and the girl with a ponytail had already begun to practice when they saw that the man with shorts had already begun to practice. The three of them all leaned against the fire or squatted or sat with their own weapons in their hands.
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and time passed for more than half an hour without any accidents.
At a certain moment, the girl with a long-handled knife in both hands broke the silence first.
"It really does..."
She seemed to want to vomit whether this practice was useful, but before she finished her words, she suddenly turned aside, and at the same time the big knife in her hand slashed into the darkness in front of her.
Zhou Chen and the man in shorts also turned to look at her direction one after another, stood up and went to support.
"I saw it! It is not invisible! It is a black monster! It looks like a shadow! I just hit it! It hid in the ground!"
The girl immediately shared her findings, and at the same time cut a piece of grass with a long knife, splashing a lot of weeds and dirt.
Zhou Chen and the man in shorts also went to help, helping the girl to chop up all the dirt there, but they didn't find any traces of monsters.
"A shadow-like monster? Can burrow? Are you sure you hit it? Why didn't any blood be left?"
Zhou Chen frowned and asked.
"I'm sure! But when I hit it, there was no obvious resistance from the knife, which was a bit strange."
The girl was also a little murmured.
At this time, there were three small longitudinal wounds on one side of her cheek near her chin. The wounds were not deep and there was not much blood flowing out.
"This monster won't really be a shadow, it can be physically immune..."
The man in shorts on the side quickly said.
"It's very likely...After all, it can burrow directly into the ground..."
Zhou Chen nodded when he heard it, but he also had a question in his heart. Since this monster can penetrate the ground, how could it attack them?
"At present, it seems that this kind of monster is really unwilling to approach the fire. We maintain the fire and always pay attention to our front, side and bottom."
Zhou Chen looked at the other two and gave his own suggestions.
"Hmm... I should not be able to sleep tonight... Be careful, I feel that the monster will attack you next time."
The man in shorts added some firewood to the fire, and at the same time reminded Zhou Chen.
"Hehe... I look forward to it coming."
Zhou Chen really didn't persuade this kind of monster to come to him, he believed that relying on the perception ability brought by his high spirit, he could find it before this kind of monster attacked him.
Soon, the three of them set up their positions with their backs to the fire, paying close attention to the movement in front of them, and be prepared for possible attacks at any time.
But this time their patience did not wait for the malicious guest, and all night, they did not encounter that kind of monster attack again.
"The monster should have given up attacking us..."
Looking at the brighter head, the girl who hadn't slept all night said tiredly.
"I have a hunch that it will come tonight... and it will become more fierce..."
The spirit of the man in shorts looks better than that of the girl, he replied lightly.
"Indeed, the style of the system has always been like this... It's only one night after that..."
Zhou Chen agrees with the man in shorts, after all, the survival of the system arrangement is basically this kind of law.
