The little tailor was leaning against the crooked tree, looking very calm and relaxed.
Zhou Bai took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, only to see that it was now seven o'clock in the evening.
"Aren't there any monsters chasing you?"
Zhou Bai put the phone back into his pocket, walked to the little tailor, and looked at him.
"Yes, how could it not be?
But when that monster met me, it was a big misfortune.
It's a pity that you ran too fast, otherwise, I could still protect you."
Zhou Bai's eyes fell on his clothes that were scratched by branches, and such scratches could only appear when hiding in a tree.
Zhou Bai did not expose him, but leaned against the tree trunk like him, waiting for the arrival of other friends.
The second person to return to the agreed place was Hans.
He came to the crooked neck tree with a gloomy face and said nothing. Even the little tailor said hello to him, but he didn't seem to hear him.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" The little tailor approached Hans.
However, just as he was approaching the other party, something suddenly shook in front of his eyes, and then a cold knife was pressed against his neck.
"If you don't want to die, just say less."
The little tailor twitched his lips, raised his hands with a smile, and gently removed the knife he had placed on his neck.
"Okay, okay, okay...
If you don’t say it, don’t say it.”
Hans gave him a cold look and then put down the knife.
However, when Zhou Bai took the knife back again, he saw the blood on his sleeve.
The little tailor breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to the other side of the crooked-neck tree, trying to stay as far away from that crazy Hans as possible.
At this time, Adam was also slowly walking towards this side from a distance.
I saw that he was holding his top hat in his hand, revealing the few hairs on his head.
At this time, he was blown upright by the wind, and he looked a little more embarrassed than before.
"Thank God for finally letting me see you.
That damn monster almost killed me."
As soon as Adam joined the team, he kept complaining.
However, David, the talkative one, was not there, and the little tailor, the talkative one, had no idea of talking. For a while, no one spoke to him.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Adam could only shut up boredly and stood silently under the tree like everyone else.
They waited like this for about twenty minutes, and finally the petite Kelly arrived.
He came from the other direction, his hair and face were covered with sand, and his state of embarrassment was not much better than that of Adam.
Zhou Bai picked up his phone again, checked the time, then frowned and looked at the other people present.
It was now close to seven-thirty, and David was still nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Bai's team, including himself, had a total of six people.
There were only five robbers who were not eligible to stay last night.
Assume that everyone has a monster chasing behind them, then what is the extra one?
The sixth robber?
Or maybe he was a former adventurer?
While Zhou Bai was thinking, he saw the tall David, with an excited look on his face, running towards their location.
"It's great, I finally see you again.
I was so miserable, but I finally found you."
Adam approached him and asked with a smile: "How miserable is it?"
At this time, Zhou Bai was also a little curious about this question.
David cried sadly: "After you ran away, I was the only one in the dark forest. I was so scared."
Everyone was a little stunned when they heard his answer.
"You're alone, where's the monster?"
David shook his head innocently: "No monster is chasing me."
"Then you came so late?"
"I'm lost."
Facing David's natural answer, everyone was speechless for a while.
Zhou Bai, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no sixth robber who turned into a monster, and no other adventurers were encountered in distress.
Then the situation is at least better than he imagined.
However, the most important thing now is to figure out where to rest tonight.
Those monsters just couldn't find them and might gather near the abandoned house again.
The abandoned house was too small and had no doors or windows. It was terrifying to rest there tonight and not be safe.
In this case, the only place closest to here is the Devil's Castle.
Things to note when entering the Black Forest, Article 2.
[The Devil's Castle after ten o'clock in the evening is scarier than the wild.]
Zhou Bai feels that terror and danger are not necessarily equated.
Moreover, this rule only says that the Devil's Castle is a bit scary, but it doesn't say that you can't enter it.
Instead of staying in the wild after ten o'clock, you will break the rules and become a monster.
Or if you enter an abandoned house without shelter, you will face danger at any time.
It's better to go to the Devil's Castle and have a look, maybe you'll find something new.
Zhou Bai stood up straight when he thought of this, clapped his hands towards the others, and motioned for them to gather around.
He took out the map, pointed to their current location, and then said to them.
"It's half past seven now, and we have to find a place to rest tonight before ten o'clock.
The only places closest to here are the abandoned house and the Devil's Castle."
Zhou Bai said while observing the reactions of others.
When he mentioned the abandoned house, the expressions on everyone's faces changed subtly.
"My personal suggestion is to go to the Devil's Castle first.
There may be monsters near that abandoned house, so it's not the best choice right now.
The Devil's Castle is about an hour away from here. We are rushing there now and should be able to arrive before nine o'clock.
We can use the abandoned house as an alternative to confirm the danger level of the Devil's Castle first.
If it's really not suitable, it's still too late if we speed up and rush to the abandoned house.
What do you think of my suggestion?"
David, the little tailor, and Adam all had no objections.
Hans rejected this suggestion just at noon, but now that Zhou Bai brought it up again, he seemed to have changed his attitude.
He stood there without saying a word.
"Since no one has any objections, let's make this decision for now.
Everyone, hurry up and try to arrive as soon as possible."
After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he led the people in the team and walked towards the direction of the Devil's Castle.
As the team got closer to the Devil's Castle, the surrounding trees became more and more dense.
Everyone speeded up their pace, and after walking like this for more than an hour, they finally saw the roof of an unusually large building appearing in their sights.
Everyone was overjoyed and felt that they were almost reaching their destination.
But at this moment, they suddenly saw things hanging on the trees in front of them one after another.
