Chapter 331 Fear
The muscular girl was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to say she didn't hear it, she felt the ground shake slightly.
"This is..." She was about to ask with some confusion when the ground shook again, this time it was clearer, and there was a slight sound.
At this moment, no one was actually asleep. She went over to find someone with a monocular, took the telescope, made a small hole in the dirt on the stone, and stretched out the telescope.
There is no moon in the sky, and only a few dim "suns" provide a little light. However, there is no light pollution in the mountains and forests, and everything can be seen clearly.
Groups of mosquitoes were circling in the forest, but as the woods shook in the distance, these large mosquitoes all fled in all directions.
"what is this?"
As the black shadow approached, the muscular girl said in a daze.
A thin, towering figure appeared in the telescope. Its appearance was somewhat similar to humans, but no human being would have such strange proportions.
It has no neck, and just below the head is a small square that can barely be seen as a body. Its arms are extremely long, so long that they can hang down to its feet. Its two legs are about the same proportion as ordinary humans, but they are too thin.
A pair of things that were probably eyes hung on the long and narrow triangular head, making its head look like a lobster head, but the strong girl couldn't laugh at this moment.
It walked with a long span. From the telescope, it could be seen that it could walk across a hill in two steps. The girl was about to talk to others when she noticed this black shadow and opened her eyes.
A pair of blood-red eyes came over and stared at her from an unknown distance of many kilometers.
This thing seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.
"what!!!!!"
The muscular girl let out a piercing scream of terror, and the crowd who had not been sleeping at all suddenly came over.
"Oh~ This girl seems to be afraid of such a giant humanoid thing..." Margery drank some lemonade and said casually while looking at the girl sitting on the ground who kept retreating.
"Is this... a Boggart?" Ma En raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively. He was very sure that this was not an Easter egg set by himself. Easter eggs were always relatively straightforward.
"Of course not, how can there be such a big Boggart," Margaery shook her head. "This is a 'creature' that I planted in the spiritual sea of all of them with my spirit. It will combine the things they fear and display them together." In their retinas.”
Ma En pointed at the picture and said with some confusion: "No, it is tangible..."
"Who says this kind of spiritual monster can't have a physical form?"
Margaery asked back, and then continued: "I made a body for it so that it can appear in everyone's spiritual sea at the same time without collapsing, and - did you hear its huge footsteps? ?Once it comes to these people and wraps them up, if no one saves them, everyone will be trapped here forever, enduring endless fear, and even if they die completely, they will not be able to break free until they become one with it. "
"Doesn't that mean that the people in the forest are doomed?" Ma En looked at these guys and said.
Margery smiled: "No... In fact, as long as they don't move around and hide here honestly, there will be no problem..."
"I think they may not be here honestly anymore."
Several people looked up at the crowd on the screen.
The mosquitoes outside had all gone, and they pushed away the big stone blocking the door. A crazy-looking guy crawled out of the narrow hole, shouting in horror: "It found me! It!" Found me!"
Soon, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
And there are not a few people who hold the same idea as him.
There were more than 20 people in the group, and soon there were only seven or eight people left who knew they couldn't outrun that thing.
The strong girl was also there, but it wasn't that she couldn't run away. She was simply frightened. After her whole body was slapped on the ground, she didn't get up. She stayed there in a daze, not knowing what to think.
The girl who was on night watch with her did not dare to look out, even after pushing away the stone. Instead, after making sure that the people in the cave would not leave, she lowered her head and brought some soil and vegetation from a distance to cover the entrance of the cave. It was sealed again.
After doing this, she sat quietly next to the strong girl and stayed with her.
"Do they know each other?" Ma En asked curiously.
Margaery nodded: "They are neighbors who grew up together. They have similar hobbies, similar circles of friends, and similar orientations."
"Where do you get all these gays?"
Ma En asked with an awkward look on his face. Who these people invited was decided by several girls. He really didn't know very well.
Esther paused while drinking tea and shrugged to show that she hadn't noticed. Hermione, who was lying on Marne's lap, took advantage of the angle and gave Margaery a fierce look. This was all her bad idea. .
Margaery curled her lips indifferently: "Maybe it's because...mystery is more attractive to gay people? Most orthodox churches prohibit homosexuality, and some are even directly punishable by death, as you know."
"I'm pretty normal..."
"It's just attraction..." Margery sighed, looked at Esther, and then at Hermione: "You're so normal. The two of them, especially Esther, can live peacefully until now without being sent away. Being rescued is simply a miracle in the history of the human body.”
"There is a magic potion." Esther said next to him.
Hermione sighed and picked up the parchment next to her, with Max on it.
She was drinking from a bottle of water at the moment... A few people here in the desert didn't set the night time, it was always daytime, but Hermione had given her a watch, so she could know what time it was. Rest, when should you take action, for example, now is the rest time.
She didn't actually feel hot, nor did she feel thirsty. Drinking water was just a subconscious behavior under the sun, especially when she didn't have to worry about the water source. She just drank as much as she wanted.
Max even gave some water to a few unfortunate people she met on the road who were looking for water, but after a man tried to steal her water bottle, she stopped being kind.
There are actually a dozen people here in the desert, but most of them are loners.
Each person is only allowed to bring a small backpack, which is bound to not hold much water. In this case, group movement, especially with a group of strangers, becomes a very dangerous thing, and it is easy to be robbed. Take resources.
More importantly, as the person with the least burden, Max, who has a tourist attitude, has explored the water sources in this desert and found them to be shockingly scarce.
