This big fish has a round body and its muscles are extremely elastic. After landing on the grass, it is struggling desperately.
When the guide on the side saw the big fish, his eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly rushed forward and pinned the big fish to the ground.
At the same time, the guide reached out and a sharp hunting knife appeared in his hand, piercing the big fish's body fiercely.
As the blood was released, the big fish gradually stopped struggling and could no longer die.
It was only then that the guide stood up, smiled respectfully at Tang Zhen and said: "The meat of this fish is extremely delicious. It is rare to see it on weekdays. I didn't expect that an adult would catch it!"
The guide saw the scene just now and knew that the young man in front of him who seemed to be the leader must also be a lord-level monk!
Tang Zhen nodded slightly and motioned to the guide to process the big fish and use it as food for tonight.
Not long after, a faint smoke began to float in the camp, and the monks from Shenglong City impaled the big fish on wooden sticks and placed it on the fire, turning it over and over again.
The huge fish had been cut with slits, and now it has been rolled up under the charcoal fire.
There was a large cleaned bird placed on the fire next to it. It was also roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The aroma continued to spread around.
The fat man held a bunch of condiments and sprinkled some on them from time to time, appearing to enjoy it.
While Tang Zhen was reading a book, another group of foreign monks came to the camp, about forty or fifty of them.
After they arrived at the camp, they glanced at Tang Zhen and others, and then went to another place to rest.
At the same time, several alien monks began to make rafts. They blew up some monster skin tubes, then cut down a bamboo-like tree and tied them together.
It didn’t take long for a simple raft to be made!
Tang Zhen glanced at these foreign monks, then lowered his head and ignored them.
This is a public campsite, so it is normal to encounter other exploration teams, so there is no need to make a fuss.
After waiting for a while, all the food was ready. The fat man tore the grilled fish and barbecue into fist-sized pieces, and everyone stepped forward to eat.
In addition to these barbecue foods, the Holy Dragon City soldiers also carried foods such as dried meat, mixed with these edible fungi, and made a hot soup with an unusually delicious taste.
After this kind of fish is grilled, it turns into a translucent oily state, and a strong aroma hits your nose.
When I put it in my mouth and tasted it, it melted in my mouth and a strong umami flavor filled my mouth, making me intoxicated.
Eat a piece of meat and drink a sip of soup. This meal made Tang Zhen extremely satisfied.
When night fell, several bonfires were lit again on the grass, driving aside the gradually falling darkness.
Everyone tried to get closer to the fire to drive away the coming gray fog and night and avoid falling into hallucinations.
Looking around, the scenery in the forest began to become blurry, and it seemed that apart from the fire, a thick gray mist began to rise around it.
All the surrounding scenery disappeared, because the gray fog was so thick that it slowly turned into a darkness that was almost as real as a substance.
In this extremely dark environment, the fire seems to have become the only spiritual sustenance, giving people a sense of comfort.
While this dark curtain makes people feel guilty, their eyes naturally focus on the flame in front of them, for fear that it will suddenly go out.
Tang Zhen sat steadily next to the fire, his mental power constantly spreading, feeling the changes in the surrounding environment.
A cold and strange aura began to grow and spread outside the fire, as if there was something terrifying hidden inside.
After some time, Tang Zhen suddenly found that except for the fire in front of him, all other fires in the camp had disappeared.
Vaguely, there seemed to be something wandering around in the dark surroundings.
If you listen carefully, there seems to be strange sounds that are constantly coming into your ears, making people feel upset.
After shouting a few words casually, the others seemed to have disappeared and no response was received.
The guide's warning came to mind. Once you encounter this situation, you must not panic. You just need to keep the flame alive and hold on until dawn.
I glanced at the monks from Holy Dragon City around me and found that their faces were as usual, with no expressions of fear or panic at all.
The world of Loucheng is strange and dangerous, and any kind of situation may occur, so these monks have long been accustomed to strange things.
"You sit here and don't move around. I'll go out and take a look!"
Hearing this, the monks from Holy Dragon City on the side quickly spoke to stop him, but Tang Zhen stopped him with a smile.
Standing up from the fire, Tang Zhen stepped directly into the darkness under the gaze of the monks from Holy Dragon City.
It was still pitch black in front of him, and even though Tang Zhen had extraordinary eyesight, he still couldn't see anything.
After taking two steps and looking back, he unexpectedly found that the fire behind him had long since disappeared.
He tentatively took two steps back, but he still didn't see the fire, and the surroundings were still dark.
Tang Zhen took two steps back again with an expressionless face, but still didn't see the fire just now, as if it had completely disappeared from this world.
Obviously this shady curtain has a misleading effect, making people lose their sense of direction and lead them away from the fire without even realizing it!
This strange encounter immediately aroused Tang Zhen's curiosity.
After activating the [Dark World Stealth Technique], Tang Zhen's figure disappeared directly from the place.
Being in a dark world, when Tang Zhen observed the surrounding environment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The monks and the fire that had disappeared now appeared in front of Tang Zhen's eyes again. It only matched the surrounding scene, but it gave people an extremely strange feeling.
The originally burning bonfire was now emitting a faint light, illuminating a small area around it.
The monks from Holy Dragon City were gathered around the area illuminated by the fire, chatting without a word, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
But in the area outside these lights, there are countless translucent spirits surrounding them, trying to stare at the monks with ferocious faces.
These spirits have different shapes, retaining their appearance when they died, making them appear terrifying and strange.
For some unknown reason, these spirits seemed to be extremely afraid of the light of the flames, so they did not dare to move forward at all, and could only wander back and forth in the darkness surrounding the light.
Tang Zhen observed for a while and found that all the monks in Holy Dragon City were covered with a faint light, making those spirits dare not take a step closer.
This kind of light comes from the exorcism items on the monks of Holy Dragon City, and it has an extremely powerful restraint effect on spiritual bodies.
As for the elven monks and the later alien monks, there was no such light, so the number of spirit bodies around them was several times more than that of the monks from Holy Dragon City!
When Tang Zhen saw this, he already knew that these spiritual bodies in front of him were the source of the strange hallucinations in the nightmare forest.
After figuring out the cause of the matter and confirming that these spirits could not harm the monks of Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen prepared to exit the dark world and rest.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Where the elf monk was, an elf monk suddenly took action and put out the burning fire in front of him.
No one expected that such a situation would occur, so Yue Qianhua and others were stunned and had no time to stop the elf monk.
At the moment when the fire was extinguished, the surrounding spirits let out silent and ferocious laughter, and all rushed towards the elven monks who were trapped in the darkness.
