....

If nothing unexpected happened, when the mastermind played tricks, the first to suffer would be Meng Bo and his friends.
Ye Tang sat in the tent and looked out of the Spiritwood Valley. She had just checked the detailed information of this valley on her phone.
It was said that the reason why Spiritwood Valley was called this was because there were many hundred-year-old trees growing on the mountains on both sides of the valley. These trees were very spiritual.
If someone came to secretly cut down the old tree, they would be attacked by the beasts guarding it.
A few years ago, someone did not believe it and ran up the mountain with a chainsaw to cut a 500-year-old ginkgo. That person’s leg was bitten off by a monster on the spot.
After that person woke up, he fell into a crazy state. He lost a portion of his memories and became dazed.
When the relevant departments heard about this, they brought an exploration team to investigate, but they found nothing.
This matter was posted online and everyone was familiar with it.
Half a year ago, another internet celebrity had specially brought a group of bodyguards up the mountain to gain popularity.
That person started a live broadcast at two o’clock in the night. He pretended to be alone and went up the mountain with a chainsaw to cut trees.
!!..
After he finished chopping, there was no movement around him.
The netizens felt that it was boring and did not pay attention to it anymore. In the end, after that person went offline, his entire arm was bitten off when he brought his bodyguards down the mountain.
No one present saw what the beast looked like.
From then on, that internet celebrity also became crazy, as if he had been under some kind of evil spell.
After the incident, Spiritwood Valley had gained popularity again, attracting a lot of attention. No one dared to secretly go up the mountain to cut the trees.
There were even many signs written in Spirit Wood Valley reminding everyone not to cut down the trees on the nearby mountains. If they were attacked, they would bear the consequences.
After understanding the entire matter, Ye Tang asked Yu Su, “Yu Su, do you think there’s really a monster in this valley? I heard that that monster has nine heads that can fly and loves to eat human limbs.”
That was what the Internet speculated.
After the ancient trees were cut, it would cause the monsters to be violent and bloodthirsty.
Yu Su shook her head. “I didn’t find anything strange. We’re here to play. As long as we don’t cut down the ancient trees on the mountain, it’s fine. You don’t have to be afraid.”
Yu Su had a faint guess in her heart that the beast should be related to what her master had left behind.
The beast did not kill anyone. Perhaps it was also worried about something.
Ye Tang heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I read the rumors and I’m really a little afraid. If the monsters attack our tent in the middle of the night and we don’t have the ability to resist, I don’t want to become a disabled person.”
Yu Su smiled. “Just relax and admire the scenery. There’s no need to be afraid.”
It was the weekend today, and there were also many people who came to camp with their families. For the safety of the others, Yu Su specially moved her campsite to the edge and did not squeeze with the others.
“Alright, then I’ll go prepare the barbecue. You guys can come over to eat the barbecue later,” Ye Tang said happily.
After saying that, she walked out of the tent and took the charcoal fire and barbecue pit out of the box. Then, she started a fire.
Ye Tang fanned the pit with a fan, roasting the meat until it sizzled.
She then brushed the secret sauce on the meat. The fragrance floated around with the wind. Ding Chen praised it a few times and helped Ye Tang with cooking.
After Ye Tang finished roasting the first batch of meat skewers, she brought them to Yu Su to eat.
Yu Su smiled and praised, “With your skills, you can go and set up a stall.”
Ye Tang smiled until her eyes narrowed. “Hehe, thank you for your praise!”
When she was in university, she often went out to play with her friends. That was when she learned how to cook.
Fortunately, her skills did not deteriorate.
The wind was quite strong, blowing the fragrance of the barbecue into the tents of Ye Chang and the others.
Yu Zheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance. “It’s too fragrant. It’s really too fragrant. Why didn’t I think that we could roast meat?” “That’s right!” Yu Hong rubbed his head in frustration.
It was better than the few of them sitting in the tent and swallowing cold bread.
Meng Bo also sighed. “Ye Tang’s cooking is indeed not bad. Unfortunately, we can’t enjoy it.”
In the past, he had also eaten Ye Tang’s roasted meat. At that time, he did not care much. Now, he could not eat it even if he wanted to.
Ye Chang also frowned and looked at the pile of fruits and bread on the table with a dejected expression.
He thought for a moment and comforted everyone. “Just hold on a little longer. Perhaps their att.i.tude will improve if we follow them more. All these hardships are worth it..”
