Chapter 64 The Silk Thread Reappears

Under the moonlight, the twisted trees in the distance looked like grinning monsters.

The thorns on the trees seemed to be their fangs and claws, giving people an indescribable weirdness and loneliness.

"You can go in with us." Brother Lei pointed at An Chengdao with the shotgun in his hand.

"I remember you are the Chosen One. You won't be a drag after you go. You should be able to help."

"But you can't." When he said this, Brother Lei glanced at Lin Yi and others beside An Chengdao.

"Those big black rats and strange birds are very arrogant at night. If you encounter danger, we don't have time to take care of you."

"So, if you don't want to die, stay outside honestly."

"Besides, there is a successor selected by the Saint Lady among you. If something happens to her, we can't bear the responsibility."

Lin Yi frowned. In fact, he didn't plan to go into the woods with Brother Lei.

The reason why he came here was just to confirm whether there was a route to escape nearby.

According to Lin Yi's current understanding of the village, the ancestral hall where the saint lives is on the west side of the village. The saint may be the chosen one of God. In addition, there are people protecting the saint nearby. If this route is chosen, the probability of being discovered is very high.

The village is backed by mountains on the east side. After crossing over, it is close to the city where Lin Yi and his friends escaped, so it is naturally not considered.

As for the south side of the village, that is the road Lin Yi and his friends came from.

The people in the village will squat here to wait for the bus coming out of the city. If they leave from here, they will definitely meet people in the village.

Therefore, the only way left is the forest in front of them, which is regarded as a forbidden area by the villagers.

"You stay outside, I will go in with them to take a look." An Chengdao held the bone-chopping knife in his hand and walked towards Brother Lei.

An Chengdao wanted to go in and take a look. While confirming whether Lu Linhai and his friends were in the woods, he also wanted to explore whether this route could be used to escape.

The cold wind blowing from the woods was filled with a pungent stench. I don't know if there was some fine sand mixed in the gusts of wind. Lin Yi actually felt a little dazzled.

He rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the thread emitting a faint white light again.

But this time, the thread came out of the hunting rifle in Lei Ge's hand.

One end of the thread was connected to the barrel, and the other end slowly floated towards An Chengdao.

As An Chengdao approached, the thread was connected to An Chengdao's chest.

"Zhou Kai, did you see it?" Lin Yi pulled Zhou Kai beside him.

"What did you see?" Zhou Kai didn't understand what Lin Yi meant.

"The thread, the thread I told you about before." Lin Yi whispered.

"The thread?"

"Yes, it's on Uncle An."

Zhou Kai hurriedly looked at An Chengdao, but he didn't see anything.

"I didn't see any thread on Uncle An?"

"You two stay to protect the successor, and the rest of you come with me. Let's go!" Lei Ge left Tian Wenlei and another person in the team.

"Wait a minute!" Just as they were about to enter the woods, Lin Yi ran over.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Brother Lei asked with a frown.

Lin Yi ignored him and walked to An Chengdao and asked, "Uncle An, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Lin Yi didn't know what the sudden appearance of the silk thread meant, but it was precisely because he didn't know that he felt uneasy.

"I'm fine." An Chengdao shook his head.

"What are you going to do?" Brother Lei's tone sounded a little impatient.

"Lin Yi, what's wrong with you?" An Chengdao also felt that Lin Yi was a little strange.

Lin Yi didn't know how to explain for a while, after all, only he could see this silk thread.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the silk thread on An Chengdao's body.

Strangely, the silk thread that he couldn't touch before was actually caught in Lin Yi's hand.

With a force, Lin Yi pulled off the silk thread connected to An Chengdao's body.

At the moment when the silk thread was broken, Lin Yi suddenly heard a gunshot, followed by a sharp pain in his chest, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Lin Yi?" An Chengdao supported Lin Yi's shaking body.

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Yi's forehead. He looked down at his chest, which was intact.

He looked back at Brother Lei. He didn't shoot, and even the shotgun in his hand was not loaded.

So, what was the gunshot he heard?

"Lin Yi, are you okay?" Tian Wenlei hurried over.

He helped Lin Yi away and turned back to An Chengdao and said, "Maybe he is too tired. I'll take care of him here. It's okay."

When Lin Yi came to his senses, the silk thread that originally connected An Chengdao had disappeared.

An Chengdao reached out and touched Lin Yi's head, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Lin Yi, how about I take you back first?" Tian Wenlei said.

Lin Yi shook his head. What happened just now was too strange, and Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for a while.

He did not continue to stop An Chengdao from leaving. First, it would seem too deliberate to force An Chengdao to stay now. After all, if he really didn't want An Chengdao to enter the woods, he would have said it at the beginning.

Second, Lin Yi did not figure out what the silk thread was. Since it had been torn, there should be no problem.

The first silk thread he saw came out of Xiaohu.

If Xiaohu is an alien, these silk threads are likely to be its means of attack.

But the thread this time came from the hunting rifle. Could it be that the hunting rifle in Brother Lei's hand was also a different kind?

This was obviously impossible.

"Uncle An, you must be careful after entering." Lin Yi walked in front of An Chengdao and whispered a reminder.

"Especially pay attention to the gun in that person's hand."

An Chengdao nodded, and then followed Brother Lei and his group into the woods.

"I'll be fine after a break." After An Chengdao and his group left, Lin Yi looked back at Tian Wenlei.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me." Tian Wenlei's eyes showed a trace of concern.

"What's going on?" In order to avoid the people in the village, Lin Yi and Zhou Kai walked aside.

"I don't know either." Lin Yi told what happened just now, and Zhou Kai was also confused.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Lin Yi took a deep breath, and the pain in his chest disappeared as he woke up.

"Have you found Lu Linhai and the others?" Lin Yi asked.

Zhou Kai shook his head and looked up at the woods: "Within my ability, I didn't sense Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng."

"However, there is one thing they didn't lie about."

"There are indeed many creatures in the woods. Judging from the sounds, they are indeed mice, and the strange birds we have seen before. Moreover, I also smell a strong smell of blood."

When he said this, Zhou Kai's face became a little ugly.

Too noisy sounds and overly stimulating smells will increase the burden on Zhou Kai's sensory organs.

In this case, he cannot use his abilities for a long time.

So, as far as the current situation is concerned, perhaps Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng really left footprints outside the woods as Lin Yi guessed to divert the people in the village, but there is another possibility-they have met with an accident.

Lin Yi is more inclined to the former. He doesn't think Zhang Cheng will be so careless, nor does he think Lu Linhai will be so easily killed by those mice.

"Let's walk around here. If we can't leave the village from the woods, we will find other routes to see if we can bypass this woods."

Zhou Kai nodded.

However, just as they were about to take action, Tian Wenlei and another person who stayed here caught up with them.
