Chapter 496

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the original storm began to stop, and occasionally came a terrible cry or two, like the cry of a night owl.

That voice was very frightening, and suddenly made Zhou Tian wake up from meditation.

"It's really come. It's not worth waiting here for a long time. I haven't seen such a thing for a long time since I left the mountain."

Zhou Tian knows the experience of living on the mountain at night. When he was a child, he followed the old man and lived on the Zhongnan mountain. He often heard this sound on many nights, especially when the old man was away.

People often say that at three in the middle of the night, there are always some mountain spirits and ghosts to start out, because this is their time. Three in the middle of the night is the time when the Yin Qi is the heaviest.

For the legendary mountain spirit, Zhou Tian has seen it several times, but they all watched from a distance and did not watch from a close distance.

In ancient times, the archetypes of some mountain gods worshipped by people were these mountain spirits, also known as mountain Kui and mountain ghosts.

The difference between mountain spirits and ghosts lies in that mountain spirits have their own bodies, and ghosts are things like ghosts. They only exist in illusion and can only affect people's spirit.

I remember when he was seven years old, the old man once caught a mountain spirit in the middle of the night, but the old man didn't embarrass it, but released it again.

The outside world slowly heard a sound of footsteps, very slight, like a chicken or a dog walking past.

Zhou Tian got up and came to the gate to look out into the dark world. He could feel that in the dark forest, several pairs of eyes were staring at himself, as if they were measuring something.

They are creatures with certain wisdom. They don't go up when they see people like ghosts. They will measure each other's strength. To put it more generally, these mountain spirits usually bully the good and fear the evil, bully the soft and fear the hard.

In their eyes, although Zhou Tian looks weak, Zhou Tian's body exudes a spirit that ordinary people can't see. This spirit is like a pillar of light through the sky, which is very dazzling in this darkness. Such people are the existence they are most afraid of.

Mountain spirits are not very powerful. With the exception of cultivating mana, ordinary mountain spirits may not be able to deal with two or three evil dogs. There are some brave mountain people. They even dare to go to the mountain in groups in the middle of the night to search for the whereabouts of these mountain spirits. They dare to deal with the mountain spirits and even drive them away.

A baby like cry suddenly came from the night sky. It sounded like a complaint. It sounded like goose bumps, especially in this dark situation. Many people who often walk in the mountains are most afraid of hearing the baby's voice in the middle of the night, because it means that there is a great terror approaching.

Zhou Tian slightly opened his divine eyes. He could clearly see an owl flapping its wings and flying from a distance. This owl was a little different from ordinary owls. There was a red light in its eyes. The terrible cry like a baby just now came from its mouth.

The owl is not afraid of people. It looks straight at Zhou Tian, and then cries like a baby again. It is scaring Zhou Tian to leave, or it can be said to be a guest expulsion order.

This is an owl that has been refined. It knows that Sunday is difficult to deal with, so it will issue a guest expulsion order to let Sunday leave here, because this is their world. Generally speaking, if practitioners appear in this place in the middle of the night, they are usually to deal with the mountain essence and wild monsters, so they regard Zhou Tian as the kind of person who subdues demons and demons.

Every mountain with spirit will have spiritual things in it, which will protect the existence of the mountain. When a mountain spirit with high mana and wisdom appears, they will recognize it as the patron saint of the mountain, which is called the mountain god.

On Sunday, he looked at the owl in front of him quietly. The owl was just as smart as a three-year-old child, and its mana was pitifully low. Even ordinary strong men could drive it away.

It's also normal. Although it's a deep mountain, it's not a famous mountain. It's a good fortune to be able to be proficient and smart. It's basically difficult to have that kind of mountain essence like people.

The owl may feel bad about the weather, give a cry, and then leave. The peeping eyes in the dark forest did not completely disappear, and some things were looking at.

Suddenly, the sound of passing through the forest began to sound in all directions, and a group of creatures were approaching the stone house.

"There are really some brave people, even people are not afraid."

Zhou Yuguang looked at the window of the stone house room. There was a dark shadow passing by in an instant. It was vaguely visible that it was a hairy creature with a pair of eyes emitting faint light.

Not just one, but a group.

"Just catch one to study."

Zhou Tian is not afraid of such things in the mountain. It is difficult to see anything that can threaten him in such a small mountain forest.

Behind the stone house came the sound of claws scratching on the stone wall, like some fierce creature attacking.

At this time, Songyu mat, who had been sleeping deeply, woke up. As soon as he heard this sound, he was startled. His face was a little white and he was still in shock. Anyone who was awakened by this sound in the middle of the night would feel a shiver.

An ape like cry sounded, and shaking began to appear in the dark forest. Three and a half human tall figures attacked the sky directly, and their sharp claws were hidden in the dark.

"Can't help it at last?"

Zhou Tian stepped back to avoid the attack. At the same time, a group of fireworks lit up in the palms of his hands to illuminate everything around him.

In the light of fireworks, one by one, as if painted with heavy makeup, red nose and ghost face appeared in the field of vision.

Now his lips were wide open and his fangs showed. He looked like a ghost.

The Songyu mat standing behind Zhou Tian was shocked. It was a primate creature called mandrill. There is a bone protrusion on both sides of the nasal bone, on which there are longitudinally arranged ridge protrusions, which are grooves, covered with green skin, and bright red between the ridges. This colorful special pattern looks like a ghost, so it is called mandrill.

She also heard about mandrills. These are creatures living in deep mountains and forests. They haunt in groups and basically have no natural enemies. Even tigers dare to provoke them, which is extremely ferocious.

It can be said that they are the Mountain Kings in this mountain.

"Squeak!"

The three mandrills, with a cold light in their six pairs of eyes, looked coldly at Zhou Tian and Songyu mat. After only three seconds of confrontation, the three mandrills jumped on Zhou Tian.
