Chapter 284: Human-faced Ghost Baby
Ye Fan turned his head and saw that it was actually a black panther. At this moment, it was making obscene noises at Ye Fan and drooling.
The black panther made an obscene cry and its saliva dripped onto the ground, instantly corroding the weeds with a sizzling sound.
"Is it poisonous?"
As Ye Fan was thinking, the black panther smiled obscenely and pounced straight at him.
"Ok?"
Ye Fan frowned slightly, but did not dodge or evade. Instead, he took a step forward and pinched the black panther directly. The obscene cry beside his ear disappeared instantly.
"Ok?"
The next moment, Ye Fan frowned slightly, because as he pinched the black panther's throat, some sharp thorns suddenly pierced out of the other party's body. Although it did not hurt him, that kind of thorns should not grow on the black panther's body...
"This black panther is just like the beasts we encountered during the day... its eyes are all cloudy, and it looks like it's crazy..."
"And his throat seems to have been severely injured. Is that why he made obscene noises similar to those of a human?"
Ye Fan muttered to himself as he watched the leopard struggling in his hands and trying to scratch him with its claws.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a tiger roar sounded, and a striped tiger suddenly jumped out from the bushes behind Ye Fan. Unlike ordinary tigers, the striped tiger rushing towards Ye Fan was not only huge in size, but also had a bunch of bloody tentacles shooting out of its open mouth...
"What the hell?"
While Ye Fan was wondering, he threw the black panther in his hand directly at the striped tiger.
The bloody tentacles spewed out of the tiger's mouth instantly entangled the black panther, and the fleshy thorns on it pierced the black panther's body directly, and blood immediately splashed everywhere. After the black panther made a few strange "Hehehe!" sounds, its entire body quickly shrank...
In a short while, the black panther was drained of blood by the striped tiger and turned into a mummy...
After doing all this, the striped tiger made a few slurping sounds from its mouth and pounced on Ye Fan again.
Ye Fan didn't dodge or dodge, he went straight towards him...
Next, Ye Fan's figure kept shuttling back and forth in the Ailao Forest. Short screams could be heard from time to time in the dense forest. After a while, the Ailao Forest, which had been filled with various ghost screams, returned to calm...
"Big brother, you're back!"
When Liu Mengying saw Ye Fan coming out of the woods, she quickly stepped forward.
"Ok!"
Ye Fan nodded, "I don't know what's going on in this forest. There are a bunch of strange beasts. The howling sounds we heard just now were all made by some beasts, but we don't know what happened to them, and the sounds they made are very strange..."
"Wow wow wow~!"
As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, suddenly, a sharp baby cry was heard.
"Don't go there!"
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Pan, who was in the caravan, shouted anxiously. A member of the caravan team was subconsciously going to check on the baby, but after hearing what Mr. Pan said, he immediately retracted his outstretched foot in fear.
"Wow wow wow!"
The baby's sharp and shrill cry was particularly creepy in the Ailao forest.
"That...that is not a baby. It is most likely a 'ghost baby with a human face'!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Boss Pan swallowed his saliva and said, "This is my second time to come to Ailao Forest... The last time was more than 20 years ago. The caravan I was in heard this sound from afar and thought it was a baby... There was a caravan with us that was much stronger than my team, so we went to check it out, but in the end, everyone was killed..."
"Later I learned that it was a monster called a 'human-faced ghost baby'. It is said that the 'human-faced ghost baby' only has a head and no limbs, and will take lives through the crying of babies... Experienced veterans in this Ailao Forest will run as far away as possible when they hear babies crying..."
Speaking of this, Boss Pan was still filled with fear.
"Wow wow wow!"
Listening to the baby crying in front of him, Ye Fan frowned, "We can't just let that monster keep crying like that, how can we sleep then?!"
Ye Fan finally dealt with all the beasts that made strange noises. Not wanting that "human-faced ghost baby" to prevent him from sleeping, he immediately walked towards the direction where the baby's crying came from.
“You…be careful!”
Boss Pan also knew that he couldn't stop Ye Fan, so he just told Ye Fan to be careful. At the same time, a faint mysterious energy emerged from his body and he looked extremely alert.
Ye Fan and Liu Mengying strode towards the sound of the baby crying, but as they approached, the baby's crying gradually became weaker and finally disappeared...
"What the hell is this? Did he run away?"
Ye Fan used a dead branch to clear away the weeds where the baby's crying came from, and found a hole underneath that was neither too big nor too small, which looked like it was big enough for a baby to enter and exit.
"Forget it, forget it for now, just go to sleep!"
Ye Fan observed for a while and found that the shrill baby crying sound did not sound again. He moved a huge rock to block the entrance of the cave, then turned and walked towards the tent.
After a while, Ye Fan fell asleep. After all, he was very tired from practicing hard during the day... And Liu Mengying once again kept watch...
After seeing that there were no more unusual movements in the surrounding dense forest, the merchants and travelers returned to their tents to rest.
…………
the next day,
Because Liu Mengying guarded the first half of the night, and Ye Fan woke up and guarded the second half, then it was Liu Mengying's turn to sleep, so when Liu Mengying woke up, it was already dawn. Normally, business travelers should take advantage of the daytime to travel more, and usually set out at dawn, but Ye Fan and Liu Mengying did not move, and they did not dare to move either.
at noon,
"Brother, this Ailao Forest is really strange... It's clearly noon now, but it's so dark here. And the fog is too thick. I can't see anything more than three meters away!"
Liu Mengying spoke while chewing on beef jerky.
"indeed!"
Ye Fan nodded and looked at the business travelers behind him, "Are you sure you are heading in the right direction?"
"That's right, that's right!"
Boss Pan responded immediately, "The path we are walking on now is the one I walked on 20 years ago! And you see, there are still some not-so-old horse hoof prints on the path, which clearly shows that some other businessmen have walked on it not long ago!"
"Fine!"
Ye Fan discovered that the general direction of the team's movement was towards the south, and what the other party said made sense.
"Wow!"
At this time, there was another sharp baby cry, but it soon stopped.
"Everyone be careful, the ghost baby with a human face is coming again, come closer, and each group should count the number of people!"
When Boss Pan heard the voice of the human-faced ghost baby, his face immediately changed and he started shouting.
"Group one, all ten people are here. Group two, all eleven people are here. Group four, all seven people are here. Group three... Group three is missing one person. It's Da Yazi! Da Yazi is missing!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Boss Pan immediately walked over to Group 3. After personally counting the items, he found that one was indeed missing.
"Boss, Da Yazi is missing, we need to find him quickly!"
A young man couldn't help but speak up when he saw Boss Pan standing still.
"Looking? Where to look?"
Boss Pan asked back, "This is the damn Ailao Forest... We are lucky to be able to walk out alive! Da Yazi is a seventh-rank Xuanshi, his strength is quite good, everything depends on his luck!"
Hearing this, all the businessmen, including the young man, lowered their heads. It was obvious that they also knew this truth.
Just as everyone was about to continue on their way, a figure staggered out of the white fog.
