Chapter 209 Weird breath
But in fact, the one who was more panicked was Mu Qingqing.
As soon as night fell, she took out a high-power flashlight from the space.
However, the light lasted only a second before disappearing.
She wasn't stupid enough to think the flashlight was out of battery.
So after Mo Xiao left, she took out a few flashlights and asked Mo Lin to turn them on.
This time, the flashlight lasted only three seconds.
The white light was like a flash in the pan, and it went out before Mu Qingqing could come to her senses.
This must not be a coincidence.
She took out matches, lighters, candles and other things from the third space one after another.
Without exception, these things only burned for three seconds before they all went out.
Weird, so weird.
Mu Qingqing shook her head repeatedly.
It was as if there was an invisible thing in the air controlling all of this.
Not only that, there is also the time interval.
The candle burned for three seconds before it went out and could not be lit until five minutes later.
Mu Qingqing had never encountered such a bizarre thing.
It's comparable to her time travel.
The little guys sat quietly and obediently beside Mu Qingqing, snuggling up to her.
With this brief three seconds of light, Mu Qingqing clearly saw the confusion on the faces of the little guys.
After Mu Qingqing comforted them one by one, she carried the little beast to the sofa, stood up and groped her way to the door.
A lot of people had gathered at the door of her house. Apart from the discussions at the beginning, everyone was now calm.
"Beast Master."
Mu Qingqing turned on the high-intensity flashlight, and a bright beam of light split the darkness.
In these short three seconds, the tribesmen quickly gathered towards Mu Qingqing and automatically arranged into neat and orderly rows.
Those who came were orcs, and the females and cubs probably stayed at home.
Mu Qingqing listened to the orderly footsteps and a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
She said loudly: "I don't know what happened. You should also know that flashlights and candles can only maintain light for three seconds. Before we figure out these things, we can't panic."
Her voice was clear and firm, echoing in the silent night and calming the restless hearts of the tribe members.
The tribesmen said "yes" one after another, and their voices revealed their trust in Mu Qingqing.
So Mu Qingqing continued to ask.
"Has this ever happened to you before? Or have you ever heard about it from the elders in the tribe?"
Although she couldn't see the expressions of the tribesmen, Mu Qingqing knew that they were thinking seriously.
When the polar night came, everyone knew it would last for a week, and it did.
But this time, when the cold winter was about to pass, why did something strange happen suddenly?
It is unknown.
The tribesmen began to discuss a little.
Just then, a low voice came from the crowd.
"It's a bit like the appearance of the legendary dark beast from the East."
In the dark night, I could only hear the voice but not see the person.
The discussion among the tribesmen became more intense the moment he opened his mouth.
"Dark beast?"
"The dark beast hasn't appeared for many years. Could it be true?"
"Winter is almost over. If it really is a dark beast, what should we do? Even if the tribe's defenses are strong, we won't be able to stop it!"
"Whoever spoke, please come over here." Mu Qingqing spoke, and her words were like an order, and the originally noisy crowd immediately quieted down.
"I." The voice sounded again.
Mu Qingqing quickly locked the direction with her keen hearing and then turned on a regular flashlight.
Ordinary flashlights are not as dazzling as high-intensity flashlights.
As soon as it was turned on, the light locked onto a tall and strong orc.
Acquaintance, Leopard Searle.
Illuminated by the beam of light, Leopard Sel transformed into a beast on the spot, jumped out of the crowd, and immediately changed into human form when approaching Mu Qingqing.
This whole process only takes three seconds.
"Leopard Sel, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Mu Qingqing did not avoid her clansmen, nor did she worry about causing panic among them.
We have all been living like this for so long that it would be unpleasant to hear just some news.
Then there is no point for her to keep them, and all those books she took out from the space would be read in vain.
The orc beside him spoke slowly. Even though Mu Qingqing didn't see the expression on his face, she could still imagine what Leopard Sel looked like at this moment. Just like when they first met, his expression was serious and polite.
However, what was going on with that burning gaze that she vaguely felt?
"I once heard an old orc in the tribe say that when he was a child, one year when the long winter was about to end, the sun suddenly disappeared and nothing could be seen. There was no day, no sun or moon, and it was more frightening than the polar night..."
"Everyone hid in their homes and dared not move. Someone was so hungry that he went out, and then he heard screams..."
"This situation lasted for two weeks. When we emerged in the daytime, the tribe was littered with limbs and there were not many surviving orcs."
As soon as the words fell, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
When the tribesmen heard those words, their hearts were filled with turmoil, but they showed nothing on their faces.
Mu Qingqing was thoughtful after hearing these words.
He raised his voice and asked his people if they were afraid.
"Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
The bolder orcs simply don't take those things seriously. They heard about the dark beasts from the older generation of orcs in the tribe. The rumors are exaggerated. One reason is that they don't believe them that much, and the other is that they are now very confident in their own strength.
There are daggers, crossbows, guns, such delicate things. Don’t they believe that no matter how powerful the monsters are, they can’t avoid the attacks of these things?
Another group of tribesmen who had some concerns were quickly led astray.
The morale of the surrounding tribesmen was high, and they soon felt relieved.
At this moment, a faint rustling sound suddenly came from not far away, and the crowd immediately became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
It was a sound like something being dragged on the ground. In the quiet and dark night, the sound seemed clear and strange.
The sound of gravel grinding across the ground and grinding into everyone's hearts, Leopard Sel's words had not yet faded in everyone's ears when this happened, and everyone spontaneously made the same connection.
They swallowed nervously, clenched their fists and pretended to remain calm.
Could it be that the dark beast is coming?
So soon? They're not ready yet.
Apparently, Bao Sel thought so too. Based on his memory, he stood in front of Mu Qingqing and put his hands loosely around her sides.
Mu Qingqing faintly smelled a light masculine scent, and before she had time to think about it, she took out a high-intensity flashlight.
Then, Mo Xiao's figure appeared in front of everyone.
His cold and charming face appeared extremely pale under the bright light, and his shadow seemed particularly tall and terrifying, like a ghost from the underworld.
"Look, what is he holding in his hand?"
