no... no...

impossible!

The little ghost at the bottom of the river...

The long and narrow snake-shaped ghost...

And tall, thin ghosts from trees in the forest...

Fire man will have three corpses, corresponding to three kinds of ghosts.

So what kind of monster is this?

Takahashi Uzuki's pupils trembled crazily, and there were three dead bodies...

Seven people and six corpses!

Among the seven of them, there will be six corpses? !

In other words... no one survived...

There was a hole in the abdomen of the huge monster several meters high, and dense red tentacles protruded from the hole, binding Takahashi Uzuki's waist. The next moment, her figure disappeared into the forest...

————

At the same moment, everyone who was still alive in the suicide forest stopped their current actions and looked in a certain direction.

Just now... there seemed to be a desperate scream.

Others were a little hard to tell whether it was an illusion or reality, but only Kojima Mist...she actually heard the voice.

It's Takahashi Uzuki's voice!

She can never be wrong.

Takahashi Uzuki is somewhere on the other side of the river at this moment, being attacked by a ghost.

The desperation and terror conveyed in that scream made people's hair stand on end.

Kojima Mist, who was already being chased by the ghost, immediately quickened his pace and walked through the forest.

She didn't stop until she was almost exhausted.

When Kojima Mist stopped, she was already out of breath, her throat was burning, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out. She had reached the limit...the limit of her physical strength.

but……

I used the water of the cold pool to force the ghost back temporarily, even if it has already chased it, it shouldn't be so fast, right?

Kojima Mist hid on a back slope, stuck his head out and looked in the direction he came from several times.

It seemed that the little ghost would appear in that direction at any time.

Fortunately, the ghost never appeared.

Kojima Mist finally breathed a sigh of relief, sitting on the ground and panting violently.

Her face was unnaturally red, and her forehead was beaded with sweat.

Kojima Mist looked up at the sky, the low sky was getting darker, could it be... is it going to rain again?

I don't know how Qin Wenyu is doing now...

If he threw away the body halfway, or if something happened, she would be dead.

Should I trust him?

Or... just take advantage of the time when the ghost has not caught up with me, and look in the direction Qin Wenyu is going?

He told himself that he would walk along the river bank all the way, and if he had an accident or abandoned the fire man's body, she could continue to send the fire man's body to the cold pool.

Do you want to do this...

But... Doing so will also lead the ghosts in that direction.

Kojima Mist's eyes flickered, did he believe in himself...or him for once?

At this moment, Qin Wenyu, who was worried back and forth by Kojima Mist, was running forward with a wet corpse on his back.

Although there was some disrespect for the corpse, Qin Wenyu did it anyway.

That's the way he thought of, to soak the fire man's body in the river every once in a while.

Although don't know if the effect of the river water is obvious, but at least... the coolness from the back has dissipated a lot.

One hour...another hour to reach that deep underground pool.

Can she hold on?

And... the situation of the second body, and where is the third body, has it been found?

If you don't hurry up, all the trees in this forest will turn into ghosts...

However, Qin Wenyu couldn't care about worrying about other people at the moment, Yumuyi should have made some preparations.

Hope...he's right...

across the river.

Tamakiichi and Tengu stopped in their tracks.

The light spots displayed on the instrument have overlapped, which means...they have arrived at the location of Huo Nan's second body.

"Listen," Tamaki put away the instrument and looked at Tengu, "Beside the corpse, there should be that snake-shaped ghost guarding it. Someone needs to lead it away. I am not the one selected for this banquet. If I If you touch the corpse, unknown changes may occur, so, let me lure it away, and you go and take the corpse, understand?"

Tengu glanced at him, and his expression was much more normal than before.

"This time I owe you once, you'd better survive and let me have a chance to pay you back."

Yumu turned his head away: "I'm not yet dead, you will have a chance."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the other side of the forest. Tengu looked at the back of Tamaki leaving, and took a deep breath. His physical condition seemed to have recovered, but it was not to the point where he could move freely. The reason why he seemed to be fine was entirely because of his terrifying will to live.

He wanted so badly to live.

The high school student named Deer Island... After entering the feast for the first time, he fell into confusion, fear, despair, and various negative emotions, giving birth to a second "he" - Tengu.

His birth is the embodiment of Deer Island's desire to live.

As long as you can live...live!

The exhaustion of the body and the tearing pain of the mind were suppressed by a stronger will. Tengu took a deep breath. After hearing the terrifying movement in the forest ahead, he immediately rushed towards the direction of the huge rock. .

The second corpse of the fire man is still here.

There were traces of numbing snakes crawling on the ground, and Tamaki led the snake away as promised.

The Tengu couldn't understand how he would do this for that woman.

But...that's none of his business.

The top priority is to remove the corpse hanging from the tree.

The Tengu was never gentle with the corpse. He grabbed the dangling foot of the fire man and pulled it down. The branch broke and the fire man's body fell down.

"what?"

Tengu was a little surprised.

Fire man's weight should be between 120 and 130 catties, but this corpse is only around 40 catties?

Fortunately, the pile of dead meat was only about forty kilograms.

Otherwise, for him at the moment, even if he can suppress the pain and fatigue with his will, the power will not appear out of thin air. It is extremely difficult to get rid of a dead person who weighs more than 100 pounds.

But it will be much better now.

Tengu put Huo Nan's corpse on his back, and the next path is very simple, avoid the ghost, walk all the way up the river bank, reach the underground cold pool, and throw the corpse down, even if the task is completed.

Speaking of which, if I fail, wouldn't that fellow Tamaki be chased to death by that snake-shaped ghost?

It's so funny...

They are not a kind of people at all, and they are forced to cooperate.

Ah……

feast.

In addition to survival, his greatest interest is to figure out what kind of existence this thing is?

Is it a man-made space, an extraterrestrial civilization, or... a lost myth.
