All Heavens: Becoming a Saint Begins in Deep Space
Chapter 68, Night 1
"Those are killer bees, poisonous bees! Don't leave this mushroom area! Two groups of poisonous bees have clashed!" The old explorer's voice trembled.
Wang Li also climbed up the big tree and looked at the dark shadows that filled the sky, like dark clouds covering the sky.
The swarms of bees on both sides were colliding and fighting, and corpses kept falling from the sky.
Some of the poisonous bees were not far away, and Wang Li and Lao Chen could easily see their stingers, which were more than a meter long. Being stung by one of these things would be a piercing chill to the bone.
Soon, they discovered a beehive further away, which resembled a small mountain, over 300 meters high, covered with countless holes, a sight that sent chills down their spines.
That area is absolutely forbidden!
"We'll leave after they've finished their fight. Don't get involved now," Old Chen said in a deep voice.
The swarm of poisonous bees blotted out the sky, swarming everywhere in a massive collision, but none of them approached the area of poisonous mushrooms.
This place actually became their safe haven.
They couldn't find another place to stay until sunset, and had to spend the night there.
After dinner, everyone stayed up until after nine o'clock, and they all felt it was time to rest, so they decided to go to bed early and get up early.
I need to get up early tomorrow morning to get going; I've been delayed today.
"Wang Xuan, come over here," Zhao Qinghan called out.
Wang Xuan led Wang Li and Lao Chen over, and the three of them opened their sleeping bags about two meters away from Zhao Qinghan, ready to go to sleep.
An unusual thing happened: Da Wu, carrying a sleeping bag, also slept not far from Zhao Qinghan.
Afterwards, Zhong Qingyue felt that something was unusual about Zhao Qinghan's side. She picked up Zhong Cheng and, along with the new master of arts, lay down to sleep not far from them.
Many people who witnessed this scene showed strange expressions, having long suspected that the relationship between Wang Xuan and Zhao Qinghan was not simple.
Now that security in that area has increased dramatically, many people are sneaking around, bringing their sleeping bags and quietly lying down near them.
In the dead of night, Wang Li felt a sudden pang of fear, as if sensing something, and was abruptly awakened. At this moment, Old Chen had already woken up.
He kept staring at the sky and said, "Xiao Wang, go and wake everyone up, quick!"
Wang Li's expression turned solemn as he said, "Alright!"
Wang Xuan also woke up; the commotion caused by Lao Chen and the others had also woken him up.
"Quickly wake up the others, there's something unusual around here," Wang Li said.
Then Wang Li and Wang Xuan woke up the people in the camp.
A moment later, everyone woke up, and someone said in a trembling voice, "Where have all the people around us gone?!"
It was the middle of the night, and when someone shouted like that, everyone got chills.
"I'm three people short!"
"We're five people short."
.........
People in different locations are all filled with fear.
Thirty or forty people were missing in just the middle of the night.
In the dead of night, this was truly terrifying; everyone felt their scalp tingle.
Zhao Qinghan got out of her sleeping bag, feeling very uneasy.
Wang Xuan walked up to her and said, "Don't be afraid, it's alright!"
Waking up in the middle of the night to find that the people next to you have suddenly disappeared is like stepping into a horror movie.
Thirty-seven people in total!
They left no clues, and there was no movement at all until just now.
At this moment, both the superhuman faction and the new magic faction had to put aside their prejudices against the old magic and look towards Old Chen, the only old magic master present who had noticed the commotion.
"The night watchman... he's gone too," someone said, trembling.
People heard each other's increasingly heavy breathing, and a sense of dread filled them as they looked into the darkness, wondering what awaited them there.
Old Chen remained silent, his eyes fixed on the depths of the woods above.
At this moment, everyone noticed the strangeness of this master of ancient arts and craned their necks to look at the tree branches above.
All I could see was pitch black; I couldn't see anything at all.
"It seems that thing is gone," Old Chen said calmly.
“Ah…”
A sudden cry rang out, shattering the previous silence and sending chills down everyone's spine. Who was crying?!
Everyone was converging on Wang Li and the others, moving away from the unknown darkness of Zhou.
"What's around here?" A female newcomer from the rising star asked, her voice trembling with tears. She regretted it; she didn't know why she had come to this godforsaken place. She kept retreating towards the center of the crowd, her body shaking.
"Waaah..."
A truly heart-wrenching cry came from not far away.
"Don't scare yourself. That's a singing bird, not some demon or monster!"
An experienced veteran spoke up, saying that he had been here three or four times and had more experience than some grandmasters.
After his reminder, everyone calmed down considerably. They realized that the specific creature could be killed, and their courage increased significantly.
Among the experienced members of the crowd, no one spoke of it, but it was known that the places where these birdsongs appeared were often stained with blood, and that there were always dead objects within their range.
With so many people just gone, seasoned veterans can imagine what's going on next. Those people will likely meet a tragic end, and people remain on high alert.
It was already past midnight, and everyone was wide awake, nervously guarding against the unknown in this unfamiliar forest.
Finally, the darkness dissipated, and the sky gradually turned a pale white.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief. The night was truly unbearable. It was only the first day since they arrived in the secret land, and they had already lost a third of their men.
"Go and scout around the area," Zhao Qinghan said.
The new master, along with the Great King and the Little King, moved, carrying long swords as they searched into the forest.
"Wang Xuan, Wang Li." Zhao Qinghan glanced at him. Something had happened in just one night. She had asked them to come together; she didn't want anything to happen to them.
Not far away, Da Wu felt a sense of crisis and looked at Zhao Qinghan with a strange gaze.
"It's alright, Wang Li and I will go take a look. Old Chen, why don't you come with us too?" Wang Xuan said, turning around.
Wang Li and his companions, along with the new martial arts master Yang Lin, had only walked two miles when they saw one bloody skeleton after another hanging from the tree branches.
When people rushed over and saw this scene, many of the newcomers from Rising Stars were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
There were some white skeletons hanging on tree branches, with bits of flesh on them and bite marks from some unknown creature.
The skeleton had large areas of shredded meat on it, and below the skeleton were some fragments of internal organs, eyeballs, and brain matter mixed with blood.
Just seeing them in their current state makes one think of the inhumane treatment they suffered in their lives. The scene before them is both frightening and infuriating, and everyone wants to kill the perpetrators immediately.
Many people even dreamed of piloting their spaceships to thoroughly cleanse the planet, wipe out the creatures, and avenge their well-known friends.
But to this day, people still don't know what kind of creature is causing this trouble.
Zhao Qinghan, Zhong Qing, Da Wu, Zhong Cheng, Zheng Rui and the others frowned as they watched this scene. It was an inauspicious start; such a thing had happened on their very first night.
"They have toxins on them." A female explorer used a special reagent to test the bones and found that they contained a special component that could make people unconscious without them even realizing it.
Someone said bitterly, "They waited until they were all unconscious before dragging them away. Maybe the fact that we slept so soundly last night was also related to this toxin."
Several experienced people who had visited the secret place a few times studied it for a long time but couldn't find anything. In the end, they all decided to avoid this ferocious creature.
