The forest is not as dark as it seems.

Sunlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting spots of sunlight on the ground, providing light to the dark forest.

Occasionally, the sound of birds and insects chirping can be heard from the forest.

Zhou Fan's feet were on the quiet grass, and he and the nine children slowly moved forward.

The vegetation in the Hidden Forest is abundant, but it is dominated by black pine.

The bunches of black needles of the black pine look like open ghost claws, and with the twisted body of the tree and the strangely shaped branches, they look like evil ghosts standing still.

"Where are we going?" Zhou Fan looked away, not daring to look at those strange-shaped black pines anymore, he asked Bai Si beside him.

Bai Si's somewhat dull eyes looked at Zhou Fan, with strange emotions in his eyes.

"Go play hide and seek. Bai Si said succinctly.

Zhou Fan wanted to ask again, but Bai Si turned his head and ignored him.

Zhou Fan glanced at Qiao Yu beside him again, but Qiao Yu didn't answer him.

The nine children were all looking ahead and walking towards the front.

Zhou Fan was stunned, in his memory, he often played with these children, why did everyone seem to be a different person today?

They are so cold, and there seems to be despair spreading among them.

It's just that Zhou Fan can't remember what happened, if he thinks too much, there will be a faint pain on both sides of his forehead.

Zhou Fan couldn't think about it, he glanced back, there was wind in the forest shaking the branches, and the leaves made a slight rustling sound.

The path in the woods turned darkly, and the way from which it came was completely unclear.

Zhou Fan didn't dare to fall behind at will, so he could only move forward with them.

After walking for a short time, they stopped.

In front of them was almost a clearing surrounded by black pine trees.

It's almost because there's a dead tree in the barren clearing.

The dead wood is three or four feet high, and the scorched black trunk cannot be hugged by one person, and on it are blood-colored mottled branches, and the sharp branches are pointed upwards obliquely, and the branches are dense and dense, criss-crossed, like countless pairs of interlaced bone claws together.

Zhou Fan's pupils contracted, and the dead wood gave him an indescribable sense of oppression, as if something in his memory seemed to have woken up.

"Come, let's guess the boxing and decide, whoever loses will be the ghost. After a period of unspeakable silence, Qiao Yu spoke first.

The ghost wants to find out the person who is hiding, and as soon as the time of the half-pillar incense passes, if you can't find everyone, then the ghost will be considered a failure, Zhou Fan recalled the rules of the game of hide and seek.

Guess the boxing in twos and twos, and then guess the boxing with the person who has a bye, so that soon the ghost was selected, and the ghost was Zhao Xiaojian.

Zhao Xiaojian was selected as a ghost, and there was no happiness or loss on his face.

He walked to the dead tree, lay down on the charred trunk and said, "I'll count a hundred, you guys hide quickly, if I find it, I'll die, ...... 2. ......"

Zhou Fan wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, a voice in his heart told him that he would really die if he was found.

The other eight children had already scattered over the black pine and disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Fan had fear rising in his heart, and he also ran wildly, he wanted to run far.

Walking through the dense weeds, he would occasionally step on the gravel that he had knocked on, but Zhou Fan couldn't care about it so much, the forest was so big, he kept running, and Zhao Xiaojian couldn't catch up with him, so he shouldn't be found.

It's just that he's still a child, and he soon can't lift his feet.

Zhou Fan was tired and panting, he was covered in sweat, and he didn't know that it was just a game, the person who was the ghost was still his familiar playmate, why was he so afraid?

Zhou Fan didn't think much about it, he climbed onto a boulder that was half-exposed from the rock wall and hid behind the boulder.

As soon as he hid, Zhou Fan found that the forest had become quiet for some time, there was no sound of birds and insects, even the wind had stopped, and the forest was terrifyingly quiet.

Zhou Fan took a few deep breaths and let his breathing slow down as much as possible, so that Zhao Xiaojian would not find out.

After waiting for a short time in a terrifyingly quiet environment, Zhou Fan felt cold all over his body, as if ice water was washing over his body, his heart was shrouded in trembling fear all the time, he couldn't hold it back, and looked up from the boulder.

The boulder is high enough, which makes Zhou Fan's vision quite broad.

He saw a person running not far away, it was Liu Xin.

Zhou Fan's face was happy, he just wanted to open his mouth to call Liu Xin, but Zhao Xiaojian's voice came from not far away: "I know you are hiding here, I am about to find you......"

Zhou Fan hurriedly closed his mouth, and Liu Xin moved flexibly like a leopard into a pile of grass.

Zhao Xiaojian soon appeared in Zhou Fan's field of vision, and Zhao Xiaojian's state made Zhou Fan's eyes shrink.

Zhao Xiaojian's eyes were closed, and he floated over without touching his feet.

Zhou Fan subconsciously held his breath, he had never seen Zhao Xiaojian in this state in his memory, what happened to Zhao Xiaojian?

Zhao Xiaojian's face twitched sharply, he sniffed with his nose, turned around in place, and said, "Is it Liu Xin? Where are you hiding? Come out quickly." ”

Liu Xin in the grass trembled, which made her make a faint sound.

Zhao Xiaojian's ears moved, he smiled, and quickly floated towards the grass where Liu Xin was.

Liu Xin was lying in the grass, she didn't know that Zhao Xiaojian had found her.

All this was seen by Zhou Fan from a high place, Zhou Fan was so nervous that his throat trembled a little, he opened his mouth to remind Liu Xin, but for some reason, he felt that he should not speak.

Zhao Xiaojian had already arrived in the grass, and he smiled: "I found you." ”

Liu Xin listened to the sound that was close to Chi Qi, and she looked up in horror.

Zhao Xiaojian opened his closed eyes, and his eyeballs were like two blooming wildflowers.

Liu Xin was completely stunned, she lost consciousness, and just stared at Zhao Xiaojian's strange eyes.

Zhao Xiaojian's mottled shadow that was reflected by the sunlight suddenly stood upright, it opened its black mouth of the blood plate, bit off Liu Xin's head in one bite, and chewed it heavily.

The creepy chewing sound was obviously far away from Zhou Fan, but it seemed to ring in Zhou Fan's ears.

Zhou Fan covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes showed strong fear, and he clung to the boulder, not daring to look at it again.

The black shadow swallowed the head, bit Liu Xin's upper body again, chewed a few more times, and swallowed it like a jujube before eating the rest of the part.

After eating, the black shadow returned to the ground.

If it weren't for the remnants of the red blood that had just been splashed out of the blades of grass, it would indicate that Liu Xin's devouring was real, and it would make people think it was an illusion.

When the black shadow devoured Liu Xin, Zhao Xiaojian stood still, and the shadow returned to its original state, and he slowly closed his eyes.

After Zhou Fan, who was hiding behind the boulder, didn't hear the chewing sound, his heart also hung up, because it meant that Liu Xin was completely eaten, and maybe it would be his turn next.
