Originally, the flame burning on the branch was not very big, not much bigger than the head of a candle, and the range of illumination was limited.
Suno held it just to be on guard, so he didn't know if it went out when he poked it aside.
The distance back to the camp from here is only a few dozen steps, and the firelight from the camp can be seen through the trees.
Sunuo pulled Mu Yue back and said, "Let's go."
Unexpectedly, Mu Yue didn't pull anymore, as if she was nailed to the spot, and the hand held by Suno was still cold.
Su Nuo turned around and saw Mu Yue looking deep into the woods with a pale face.
"What's wrong?" Su Nuo didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, so he asked, "Is there something over there?"
"I don't know what it was, but it moved twice." Mu Yue's voice was trembling as she spoke: "It's quite big, with a rustling sound."
The little girl is most afraid of these, and she should have automatically imagined a whole set of scary plots such as jungle horror or a haunted house in a deserted mountain.
"It's okay, it's probably because the bird is flapping its wings." Su Nuo glanced twice and couldn't see the "thing" Mu Yue was talking about, so he pulled her and said, "Don't be afraid, there are many people in our camp, it will be fine when we go back."
Mu Yue gave a trembling "Yes" and followed Suno back stiffly.
But after only taking a few steps, I heard the sound of "thumping" coming from behind me again.
This time Sunuo also heard it. He turned around suddenly and saw a black figure squatting on the ground not far away. It was a big ball and was still twisting.
Su Nuo suddenly felt that his hair stood on end. But her first reaction was to calm down, and then she covered Mu Yue's mouth with her hand.
Mu Yue really almost screamed. Because that "thing" was much closer than when she found it just now.
Sunuo covered Mu Yue because she was afraid that her sudden scream would disturb the thing.
Moreover, people in the camp will definitely panic when they hear it. If the thing is "evil", people who come over to check it out will also suffer.
While Su Nuo stared closely at the still twisting black figure opposite, he whispered in Mu Yue's ear: "Don't be afraid, let's go back little by little. It must not have noticed us now, and it won't be there if we don't say anything." Alarm it."
"Yeah." Mu Yue nodded tremblingly, her eyes as panicked as a frightened rabbit.
Only then did Sunuo slowly let go of his hand and pulled Mu Yue back.
After taking a few steps back and seeing that the black shadow had no intention of chasing after them, the two of them changed to walking sideways.
That's okay. Sunuo pulled Mu Yue to speed up the pace.
But at this moment, Su Yang's voice came from the front: "Xiao Nuo, what's taking you so long? Please respond to me."
Su Yang was obviously worried and couldn't hear Su Nuo and Mu Yue talking, so he came over.
Before Su Yang finished speaking, the dark figure that had pulled away had already noticed the movement here.
Mu Yue was so frightened that she yanked Su Nuo's hand and ran towards Su Yang like crazy.
Sunuo was unprepared and was pulled to stumble away. He was almost scratched by branches several times.
Su Yang also heard something wrong and ran over here.
As a result, the messy footsteps were mixed with a few "humming" sounds.
Su Nuo was startled, then looked back and saw clearly that the black shadow turned out to be a big wild boar. I just saw it twisting and turning, probably rubbing it against the bark of the tree.
"Brother, don't come here, there are wild boars." Su Nuo quickly reminded Su Yang.
If Su Yang didn't warn him at this time, it would be even more dangerous for Su Yang to rush over unprepared.
