Binding to the nation's destiny: Start by choosing the underworld, where a hundred ghosts parad

He could picture in his mind a monster walking along the stone wall next to the cave entrance.

They were hammering at the mountain wall, getting closer and closer to the cave entrance.

The entrance to the cave was simply blocked with stones and couldn't withstand such impacts.

Li Mo nervously got up slowly, went to the cave entrance, pressed his body against the stone at the entrance, and stretched out his hands to brace against the stone.

The approaching knocking sound filled his ears, and Li Mo's forehead began to sweat with nervousness.

He glanced at the long knife that Xige had tucked into his waistband. If they were really discovered, he would have no choice but to strike first before all the monsters rushed over and kill as many as he could.

At the same time, Li Mo was thinking about the locations of the other stones he had just moved in.

He could continue to block the hole, but fortunately the hole wasn't particularly large, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to block it.

"Snap!" Li Mo felt a force coming through his body.

He immediately braced himself against the rock behind him, feeling a bit panicked; the monster was much stronger than he had imagined.

Just as Li Mo was guessing where the next strike would take place, he heard footsteps fading away outside. He was stunned for a moment. Had they left?

0

He immediately pressed his ear to the ground and, sure enough, heard the rapid footsteps of the monster outside.

They really left?!

Li Mo suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be the same situation he had just experienced in the tree? Had a monster discovered the clothes he had tied to the treetop and then summoned its companions?

It should be the same as what I've seen before, otherwise how can I explain the sudden departure of these monsters?!

Li Mo waited a while longer, but there was still no sound outside. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down to ease his tense mood.

Only then did Li Mo's heart begin to beat faster, and he felt waves of lingering fear.

After Li Mo felt his heartbeat calm down a bit, he didn't continue sitting like that.

Instead, he got up, opened a small stone at the entrance of the cave, and observed the outside.

Sure enough, there was nothing outside except for tall trees standing in the forest.

However, Li Mo did not let his guard down. Sooner or later, those monsters would discover that what was on the tree was just one of his clothes.

If they don't find them then, they might come looking for them again.

After all, I've spent a lot of time here, and I've left a lot of traces of myself here.

Through the small hole, the moonlight shone in, allowing him to see the other stones that had been placed on the ground. Li Mo immediately went over and moved those stones to the entrance of the hole.

Behind the stones blocking the hole, more stones slowly piled up again, with the intention of adding another layer.

This way, even if the situation is like before, he won't have to go and protect himself. Moreover, with an extra layer of stone blocking the way, his breathing will be less intense.

Li Mo dared not let his guard down, knowing that the monsters could return at any moment.

Moreover, although they look like humans, they are not human after all, and still retain some animal characteristics, which is why Li Mo speculated that they find him by scent.

After finally moving all the stones near the cave entrance, Li Mo tried them out and pushed them hard, only to find they wouldn't budge, which put him at ease.

Seal the small opening again.

And they used an even larger stone to block up the empty space on the second floor as well.

Li Mo felt much more at ease after hearing all this last night, and he groped his way to the deepest part of the cave.

There was a place covered with straw, and there was a fishy smell from some unknown animal. He didn't care and lay down on it, trying to hide his scent.

He placed the long sword at his waist within easy reach before slowly closing his eyes.

He was thinking to himself that he needed to get back to the villa as soon as it was light tomorrow.

These monsters never appear during the day. He only has the daytime to find the villa; otherwise, he doesn't know if he'll be lucky enough to find the cave the following night.

Also, if he stays outside any longer, another person might die.

The atmosphere in the villa that Li Mo was concerned about was not good; in fact, it was quite oppressive. The image of Li Mo falling off the cliff during the day flashed through everyone's minds.

Because the supply box fell down with Li Mo, they could only eat the food they brought back yesterday.

Each person was given a compressed biscuit and a bottle of mineral water.

The other ingredients were left aside because none of them knew how to cook, and none of them were Xi Ge.

"I'm telling you, you guys can't be serious. It's just one person who died. If you ask me, it's all his own fault. He said he wanted to go out and find supplies. Feifei tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on doing it his own way. Besides, he was the one who suggested going to get the supply boxes. Is it really necessary for you to do this?"

Gao Xuan said somewhat impatiently, especially since he had noticed Fei Fei's low spirits.

She felt even more choked up. When did that Li 2.5 Mo become so important to Fei Fei?!

Xiao Jia found these words rather unpleasant to hear.

She had previously relied on Li Mo as her lifeline, but now that he's dead and her career is over, she's helpless and knows nothing. What should she do? Could she be the assassin's next target?

After all, she was the weakest among them, and Xiao Jia was overcome with sorrow at the thought.

"Was it you? You've always disliked Li Mo!"

Chapter 502: A Premonition of Death! Thinking He Was a King, But He Was Actually a Bronze! (Please Submit)

Gao Xuan was startled by Xiao Jia's sudden outburst of anger, but then he realized what was happening.

She retorted coldly, "I've always disliked Li Mo, you all know that, so what's the problem? But saying he fell off the cliff is my responsibility, you weren't even there, why are you pushing the blame onto me?!"

Xiao Jia felt a little guilty after Gao Xuan said that to her.

Everyone was there at the time, so saying that Li Mo fell because of Gao Xuan is a bit of a stretch.

However, Xiao Jia didn't know why, but she had a premonition that she would be the next one of the 05.

If Li Mo were still alive, Xiao Jia might still have a glimmer of hope, but at this moment, Xiao Jia was filled with fear, seeing everyone as an assassin. Xiao Jia couldn't help but move to the side.

When Xiao Zhang saw Xiao Jia like this, he naturally knew what she was thinking, because he shared the same thoughts as Xiao Jia.

The guy I just latched onto is gone before I've even had a chance to use him. It doesn't feel good. Besides, it's obvious that Feifei and Gaoxuan are going to work together, and I'm not very close to either of them.

The only close friend, Xige, is gone, and so is Li Mo, who came later.

Xiao Zhang felt like crying but couldn't, as if every time he got close to someone, something bad would happen first.

She looked at Feifei, Gao Xuan, and Xiao Jia. Now, including him, there were only four of them left. The assassin had not yet been found. If all else failed, he could try to do what Brother Xi did.

Strike first and you'll have the upper hand. No matter what, you have to give it a shot; you might just find a way out.

Xiao Zhang lowered his head even further, hiding his expression, and didn't see Fei Fei's expression when she looked at him.

Feifei hadn't expected Li Mo to be so useless.

She was thought to be a master, but it turns out she's just a bronze-level player, wasting all the goodwill she showed Li Mo before.

Gao Xuan, however, was the least affected; he had never liked Li Mo to begin with.

For some reason, he disliked Li Mo from the very first moment he saw him, and he felt threatened by Li Mo, which was an instinctive fear of him.

That's why he couldn't help but keep causing trouble for Li Mo, trying to distance himself from her.

Everyone, including Li Mo, thought he was jealous, and he accepted it, since that was part of the reason anyway.

That's why Gao Xuan suspected that Li Mo might be an assassin; otherwise, how could an ordinary person give him such a feeling, a kind of unfathomable and powerful force?

It can be said that Gao Xuan is very similar to Xiao Zhang in some ways.

They all have a kind of perception, but Xiao Zhang's perception is directed at himself. He can sense in advance who is hostile to him or whether they are detrimental to him.

It's an intuition that provides early warning, while Gao Xuan's is an assessment-based one.

He would sense if anyone was stronger than him or exceeded his ability to fight.

All four of them were in a bad mood, but none of them left alone.

We've already agreed to act together. If we're alone now, it'll be like lambs to the slaughter, handing our lives to the assassins.

They each found a comfortable place to stay. Some were thinking about their own things, some were daydreaming, some closed their eyes to rest, and some took the opportunity to sleep for a while. In short, they each did their own thing and did not communicate with each other.

Silently waiting for dawn to arrive and for a new day to begin.

The focus of their conversation was that Li Mo had also fallen asleep in that cave.

When Li Mo woke up, it was still dark around him.

For a moment he didn't know where he was. After a while, he came to his senses and remembered that he was hiding in a cave, avoiding the monsters outside.

Li Mo listened intently to the sounds outside, but it was quiet and he couldn't hear anything. He didn't know how long he had been asleep.

Is it daylight outside now? He thought about the approximate location of the cave entrance and grabbed the long knife beside him.

He slowly moved over, then reached out and felt along the wall, finding the stones he had piled up at the entrance to the hole.

After moving one of the pieces down, a sliver of light shone through the crack in the rock outside the hole.

Li Mo was overjoyed. It was dawn outside. He quickly moved the two layers of stones blocking the cave entrance and looked outside. It was already daylight, and he saw the sunlight streaming in.

For the first time, he felt how wonderful it was to have sunshine. Judging by the height of the sun, it should be almost noon.

Li Mo gathered his belongings, walked out of the cave, turned around and saw the scratches on the wall, and gasped.

On the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance, there were fine indentations, the width of which looked like they were made by fingernails, but he knew that no human fingernails would be so sharp.

Only the monsters from last night, with their messy scratches on the stone wall, showed that they must have lingered in the vicinity for a long time before leaving.

He couldn't help but feel glad that he had added an extra layer of stones; otherwise, after he fell asleep, the stones blocking the entrance wouldn't have been very sturdy, and the monster might have found his location.

Li Mo felt he needed to leave quickly, so he didn't head in the direction he came from yesterday, nor did he go towards where he had left his clothes. Instead, he chose the middle path and walked quite a distance before stopping.

I found a tall tree and climbed up it.

Then he opened the bundle made of clothes behind him and devoured the last piece of bread and milk inside.

He had to find the villa today, otherwise he wouldn't have enough food. Perhaps he would encounter other survival supply boxes along the way. After making up his mind, Li Mo carried the last two bottles of mineral water and a box of antidote and set off.

Previously, Li Mo thought that this isolated island was not very large.

But now that I'm walking around, I realize it's not small at all, probably because Li Mo has been traversing through the forest the whole time.
