The strange man suddenly appeared and even acted like he would shoot the next moment. The situation seemed to be about to break out and the danger was extremely dangerous. But Mo Yun was not panicked because his intuition told him that there was no danger in the person in front of him, or that the danger was still within the range he could handle.

In fact, he had long discovered the man hiding in the woods next to him.

However, although he was confident, Chi Muyun behind him seemed to have a little weak legs because she grabbed his arm and tried very hard, as if she would fall down the next moment.

Before she couldn't stand firmly and showed her feet, Mo Yun calmly said to the man holding the gun:

"What are you doing?"

When the white young man heard this, he smiled embarrassedly, let go of the trigger, put down the gun, curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't, I'll make a joke with you."

The tense atmosphere was swept away.

"It's not funny." Mo Yun said coldly.

"You are still so cold and calm, I thought you could scare you." The young white man walked up with a smile and patted his shoulder friendly. He felt the girl behind him stand firmly.

"It's getting dark, let's go back as soon as possible." Mo Yun said.

"Oh? Did you and Chi find something?" asked the white young man.

"It's hard to say now." Mo Yun shook his head.

The three walked towards the camp where the tents were built. A few minutes later, they came to a clearing in the forest. Five tents of different colors and sizes were built here. A bonfire was burning in the middle of the tent. The firewood was rippling, and the orange-red flames were undulating and squirting, emitting a strong warmth, making people feel warm and safe. Next to the bonfire, four men and one woman were wearing camouflage warm clothing for adventure.

"Everyone, guess who is back?" the white young man couldn't wait to shout before he got closer.

Several people sitting around the bonfire were chatting. When they heard the words of the white young men, they turned their heads and saw Mo Yun and the others standing up at the same time to greet them.

As they approached, Mo Yun also saw their general appearance clearly. A young blonde man in the lead was handsome and handsome, a typical European handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark blue pupils, a high nose bridge, and a modest manner. The only blonde girl looked close to the blonde young man because they held hands, and seemed to be lovers. There was also a short young man about 1.7 meters tall, and a young man with a little dull appearance. They all looked very young, as if they had just graduated from college students.

"Mo, you're back, we're still talking about you just now." The blonde young man said with a smile.

"Well. It's dark very quickly." Mo Yun said.

"Well, after dark, the temperature here will drop sharply to below zero." The blonde young man patted his shoulder, "Come and warm up your body by the fire."

"Okay." Mo Yun turned around and grabbed Chi Muyun's hand.

The girl's hand shrank slightly, but did not shake it away. Mo Yun did not intend to take advantage of the girl on purpose, but because in such a crowded occasion, she might not know what to do or say, which led to the two of her own exposing her feet, which made the task fail. Therefore, he needed to guide and help her a little.

"You have a good relationship with Chi." The white young man envied, "I had known that I should have brought my girlfriend here too."

"Aren't she already here?" The short young man next to him pinched the white young man's hand.

"Gogun." The white young man shook him away angrily.

Several people sat down again around the bonfire.

"Mo, did you and Chi suddenly go out, did you find something?" asked the blonde young man.

"Yes." Although Mo Yun had no idea what he had discovered, his face remained unchanged and he continued, "I killed a wild boar, and there were some strange traces."

"Wild boar?" exclaimed the white young man.

"Yes, it's as big as a car." Mo Yun gestured with his hands.

"That should be enough for us to eat for several days." The white young man rubbed his hands excitedly. "Grilled pork chops are a delicacy. I brought oil, salt, cumin powder, chili powder, and a professional grill."

"It's worthy of being the adventure expert I invited, who can actually kill such a big wild boar." The blonde young man exclaimed, and then asked curiously: "How did you kill it?"

"It was seriously injured." Mo Yun said calmly.

"Is it a Northern Direwolf?" asked the young man who looked a little dull.

"I don't know, but I don't think the wolf's claws can leave such long and deep wounds." Mo Yun shook his head, "I can take you to see after tomorrow after dawn."

"That's great."

Mo Yun is a person who likes to observe very much. As a writer, he usually likes to observe everyone around him to carefully consider the other person's psychology and movements. He crossed his legs and sat by the bonfire. While using vague words to circumvent the people around the bonfire, he carefully observed their characteristics and separated useful information from the conversation. About half an hour later, he obtained a lot of useful information.

The Chinese name of the blonde young man is Wang Lang, but neither he nor his girlfriend is Chinese, but belongs to a country that has never heard of the name. After all, this is a parallel world, and the language and geographical characteristics are different from reality. Wang Lang's real name is Green Williams, and his blonde girlfriend's name is Caitlin Schultz. This expedition was summoned by Green and Caitlin, both friends who met at the same university.

The white young man who raised his gun to scare Mo Yun just now was called Pompei Flores. He was a very enthusiastic food lover. He carried barbecue tools with him wherever he went. He could be said to be a veteran "foodie"; the short young man who likes to make yellow jokes, Shabier Dean is a travel enthusiast who likes to travel around the world; and another young man with a bit dull and unwilling expression is called Hans Cabo, a young biologist.

In order to facilitate identification and memory, he secretly gave these people a nickname that is easy to remember in his heart.

Green is the captain of the expedition, and her girlfriend Caitlin is the only woman besides Chi Muyun, so they are easy to remember; the other foodie is Pompeii, who has the same name as an ancient Roman city; then the short Shabier, and finally the biologist Hans.

In other words, including him and Chi Muyun, there are a total of seven people in the expedition team.

But Mo Yun had just observed that there were only five tents near the bonfire. This seemed to mean that there were two people living in the same tent. Based on the current situation, Green and Caitlin were lovers, and his and Chi Muyun’s identity in this world seemed to be also lovers, so they should live in the same tent.

Combined with this speculation, he looked around and found a gray steep tent with a larger surface inlaid with the word "madeinchina". That should be the tent where they are.

Seeing his gaze, the short Shabier seemed to understand something and smiled and said, "It's not dark yet, so Mo just thought about going back to the tent. I thought you were outside just now..."

Everyone laughed.

Mo Yun also laughed awkwardly, only Chi Muyun seemed a little at a loss.

She didn't seem to understand, but Mo Yun wouldn't explain it to her.

"Why has Chi never spoke since she came back?" Caitlin asked suddenly.

"I..." Chi Muyun didn't know what to say for a moment.

"She may have caught a cold a little and was not feeling well." Mo Yun said, and quietly pinched her hand.

"Oh, yes." The girl nodded immediately and said in a weak tone, "I just sat on the ground for a while, and now I'm a little tired."

"Then you go back and rest first. I'll go find you later." Mo Yun gently touched her hair and pointed to the gray tent behind her.

"Okay, OK." The girl blushed a little, got up immediately and got into the tent.

When she left, the short Shabier smiled again:

"Did you sit for a while? Or do it for a while?"

"Ah hahahahaha--" Everyone burst into laughter.

"Haha." Mo Yun shrugged helplessly, neither refuting nor admitting, but showed a somewhat subtle expression. Because he did not know the relationship between Mo Yun and Shabier in this world, it was difficult for him to make the most reasonable move, and he could only keep his distance from these people in a position that was neither close nor alienated.

"Speaking of this, we spent the first day of our adventure so boring." Foodie Pompeii looked at the full moon that appeared in the sky with some melancholy, and said to Green: "I didn't eat anything good, nor did I go far. Basically, I just set up a tent outside your house..."

"Haha, who knows it takes you a morning to set up a tent." Before Green could speak, Caitlyn stood up for her boyfriend: "And then lie down from noon until now."

"Oh, you don't understand life." Pompeii shook his head, "Life is a cycle of eating and sleep. If you can eat well and sleep soundly, it is a happy life. Isn't adventure just walking in the woods? What's the point?"

"Haha--" Everyone sneered.

"Stay at the camp for one night today, and we will set off until tomorrow and walk deeper." Green smiled. "If you don't want to go, you can go back to my farm first, which contains a lot of food and heating."

"Okay. This woods retain the original appearance of hundreds of years ago, and no one has stepped on it for many years. It is a habitat for many creatures and a good place for adventure." Shabier also became serious and nodded.

"Yes, I heard that there are many creatures that are almost extinct from the outside world." Biologist Hans's eyes lit up, as if he would be very excited when he mentioned these animals.

"There will be no danger, right?" Foodie Pompeii looked at the completely dark sky and couldn't help but tremble for a moment.

"The charm of adventure lies in danger." Shabier smiled, "and you still have a gun."

"That's right." Foodie Pompei nodded and touched the handle of the pistol exposed in his pocket with his hand. "My barbecue grill can't wait. When I was in my hometown, I like to roast cicadas in summer. The fragrance is, you can't imagine it."

At this time, the originally gray-white sky had completely darkened, as deep as a black ocean lying above the head. There were no stars in the sky, only a bright full moon. The surrounding woods had turned into fuzzy black lines, the temperature dropped rapidly, and only the places close to the bonfire were warm and bright. But even so, everyone could not help but wrap their coats tightly.

"I said, let's go back." Pompeii rubbed his hands, "My hands are about to freeze."

"I agree." Shabier nodded.

The biologist beside him stared at the woods in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking and didn't say anything.

"Okay. It's getting late. We'd better take a break early. Get up early tomorrow and go to explore the deep woods. By the way, we'll bring back the wild boar that I said." Captain Green smiled.

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

Green turned to Mo Yun again: "Mo, thank you for your hard work today, take a break early."

"Okay, so are you." Mo Yun nodded.

Green smiled and patted his shoulder, hugging his blonde girlfriend Caitlin and headed back to the tent.

The rest of the people stood up and walked towards their tents.

Only the biologist Hans, still sitting by the bonfire in a hunch.

"Aren't you going back?" Mo Yun walked over and patted his shoulder.

"ah?"

Hans, who was dazed, was startled and found that all the companions around the bonfire had gone back. When he saw Mo Yun, he said apologetically: "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"What are you thinking?" Mo Yun asked.

"I remembered what happened when I followed my teacher to do field surveys when I was a graduate student." Hans shook his head, "The moon in the sky was so round and so bright."

"That's it, go back early to rest." Mo Yun also felt the undispelled coldness at this time.

"Okay." Hans nodded and walked towards his tent.

Mo Yun stood by the bonfire and looked around. The forest was shrouded in hazy moonlight. The tall trees nearby seemed to be taller and could hardly see the canopy, as tall as the body of a giant in Nordic mythology. The woods further away were indulged in a deep darkness, and it seemed that they could hear the whimpering sounds of unknown animals from afar.

“What a fun game.”

He stood quietly for two minutes and walked towards his own gray tent.
