Yeti

  Just as I was wildly guessing, I suddenly heard a heavy gasp coming from the darkness, my heart skipped a beat, and it sounded very clear, absolutely not consecutive, in fact he was almost holding his breath at this moment.

  He, who had been still, suddenly grasped my hand and quickly wrote a character on his palm: Go!

  I stared at the back of his head for a full ten seconds, really ten seconds, silently counting in my heart, before biting my lip hard, and when the sweet, metallic taste of blood spread through my mouth, I started to slowly move my feet outward. The hand that was holding mine loosened its grip for an instant, and my heart skipped a beat, but I didn't turn around to look at him, estimating the distance of over ten meters from the entrance, thinking as I moved: it's only two or three minutes before I can get there. I have to make the most of this limited time to figure out how to avoid being seen by people outside when I reach the entrance.

  It was because of the commotion coming from behind that I stopped in my tracks. That's what I told myself.

  When I turned around, all I could see was a dark figure entwined with another black shadow falling down in a heap, but his muffled hum clearly pierced my eardrum. When he quickly wrote the word "go" on my palm, I had already guessed that what he was looking at sideways couldn't be Liang Ge, even if Liang Ge was seriously injured and looked terrible, he wouldn't have reacted like this.

  So there is only one explanation, that something was hiding in the darkness, either a person or a wild animal. The possibility of it being a person is lower because we had been inside the house and by the mountain wall for a while, if it were a person, they would have made some noise to alert us. So the most likely possibility is the latter, which was what flashed through my mind during that brief moment of lightning.

  Still calm and able to make a judgment that is beneficial to myself after normal analysis. Since they let me go one after another, I don't need to pretend to be a hero like an idiot. Besides, even if I want to help him in this situation, it will only cause trouble. Giving him space to maneuver is the right choice.

  However, with this twist in everything, it means that human thinking is often not coordinated with the body. I think so, but my body reacts instead of my brain. After all, I'm not cold-blooded and can't remain unmoved while listening to those muffled hums behind me.

  That's not a person! Because no one would use a hissing motion to attack someone.

  His shoulder was bitten by that thing several times, and the wound must be very deep, which made him so painful that he couldn't help but make a sound. But because he was afraid of attracting people from outside with his voice, he always hummed in pain with his throat pressed down. From where I stood, I couldn't see what was half-pressed on his body, its shape was bigger than him, the only thing that could be distinguished was its extremely long hair, a cluster of blackness, almost merged with the darkness.

  Endless thoughts flashed through my mind, and finally I gritted my teeth and took a step back. As I approached, I quietly slipped my hand into the bag and felt for something hard to give me courage. But just then, the thing that had been pinning Lu Xun down and biting his shoulder suddenly lifted its head and looked over at me, and I was so frightened that my heart was racing wildly and my whole body began to tremble.

  It suddenly became clear why there had been those reactions before, because in front of me was this huge black shadow, with a human-like body but with two eyes shining green, and the hair on its face grew so long that it covered the entire face, looking terrifying like a ghost in the dark.

  He continued to push with force, and finally managed to push the creature off his body. He stood up slowly, sticking close to the mountain wall, and blocked me behind him. This time I didn't appreciate his kindness, so I lightly kicked the back of his knee, causing him to crouch down, and my line of sight was once again able to see the creature. After the initial fear had passed, it didn't seem as terrifying, and the long-haired creature seemed to be looking at me too, so after being pushed down by Rong Rong, it didn't attack again.

  I took a deep breath and decided to make a desperate effort!
