Du Yifeng was at a loss, obviously shocked by this turn of events.
This straw-tied bag was originally made from local materials. The stone had been lying in the grass before, and had not seen any change for such a long time.
How come it was tied into a bag and burned so quickly?
Others were also puzzled.
"Jiang Yue, what's going on?" Han Jingjing asked confused.
"Hard to say."
Jiang Yue had some rough guesses, but he wasn't sure.
Du Yifeng was so angry that everything was not going well, and even God was against him.
The stone fell into the grass and lay there quietly, without any abnormality.
Look at the grass, it's not affected at all. I don't know if it's not affected by the high-temperature stones, or if the stones disappear when they fall to the ground.
Du Yifeng squatted beside the stone, and once wanted to reach out and touch the stone, but in the end he did not lose his mind.
"Have you noticed?" Jiang Yue suddenly said, "Do the plants and trees here look a little strange?"
Among the people present, almost no one has studied vegetation.
The simple biology they learn in school is simply not enough for them to conduct professional interpretations of such a professional field.
But as Jiang Yue reminded me, these plants and trees don't seem to be special at first sight, but if you look closely, it seems that you have never seen them before.
"Is it a new species?"
"I'm not sure if it's a new species. But look at the roots of this grass. Are they very long? Are they very deep? I've never seen grass with such well-developed roots before."
After all, Jiang Yue had lived in the countryside and had followed his grandfather for so many years. He still had a relatively rich knowledge of vegetation. Putting all the other people present together, they definitely couldn't match him.
"When the grass leaves its roots and is woven into a bag, its ability to withstand high temperatures is greatly reduced. This is probably related to its well-developed roots."
"To put it bluntly, uncut grass is a living species with roots attached. Without the roots, it becomes a dead thing. Without vitality, it cannot withstand the high temperature of the stone.
.”
Although what Jiang Yue said may not be the truth, it does provide a brand new idea, which is at least a tenable statement.
"Jiang Yue, according to what you said, if I dig up all the roots, will it be able to withstand the high temperature of this stone?"
Du Yifeng still refused to give up on the stone.
"It's hard to say, even if you dig out all the roots, the roots eat the soil so deeply, you can't dig out such a thick layer of soil again, right?"
When a plant leaves the soil, it may be okay for a short time, but over time, it will definitely not survive.
Generally, plants are transplanted with their roots and soil. But the roots of this grass need to grip the ground for at least one meter. It is absolutely impossible to complete such a large project without tools.
Du Yifeng said in frustration: "Then there is really nothing we can do?"
"Actually, what's abnormal here isn't just the rocks. Maybe every plant, tree, and soil here is abnormal. If you just sample specimens, there are too many things that can be collected. It's not easy, it's necessary.
That stone. Of course, as you said, maybe that stone is the most valuable?"
Previously, Du Yifeng kept saying that he did not love money.
If he insisted on taking away the stone now, it would be a bit of a slap in the face.
The atmosphere at the scene fell into a dull mood, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Han Jingjing suddenly walked over, swung the engineering shovel in her hand, shook the stone, and threw it directly into the stream with a thud.
The scene suddenly erupted into a sizzling sound, and bubbling bubbles appeared on the surface of the stream, just like a pot of boiling water.
"you!"
Du Yifeng was completely unprepared that Han Jingjing would do this to him.
Han Jingjing walked away as if nothing had happened and said calmly: "Now you don't have to worry about it."
Even Xu Chunru and Yu Siyuan secretly admired this move.
Everyone was secretly amused when they saw Du Yifeng looking depressed as if he had hemorrhoids.
Du Yifeng stared at Han Jingjing for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, I really don't worry about it anymore."
Han Jingjing said proudly: "You're welcome."
Jiang Yue looked at the two of them speechlessly, thinking that it was Han Jingjing. If others did this, Du Yifeng might fall out on the spot.
Seeing Du Yifeng smiling and looking like he didn't mind, Jiang Yue didn't think he was really as relieved as he looked on the surface.
In this matter, maybe he really holds a grudge.
What Han Jingjing did was a bit reckless, but it was very satisfying.
At this critical moment, Du Yifeng was still fixating his eyes on such a stone, which seemed to ignore the overall situation for the sake of a small gain or loss.
Several people gathered together to discuss for a while, and they all felt that there was no end in sight if they could go forward, so they finally decided to go back the way they came to see the situation.
Du Yifeng was definitely not happy, but he couldn't resist the fact that everyone else's attitude was surprisingly consistent, so he could only follow in anguish, and repeatedly emphasized that it was okay to look back, but he absolutely did not agree to leave just like that.
After a while, several people returned to the boulders.
Du Yifeng said loudly: "Let me just say that you are suspicious, right? Isn't this the place we walked back along the road? Isn't this the place where we stayed before?"
As he spoke, Du Yifeng deliberately drove around the slope a few times.
He glanced around, looking for any similar rocks in the area nearby?
Hearing Du Yifeng's shouting, the others were speechless to refute.
These rocks, this slope, and this grassland are all places where they stayed before.
It seems that everyone has indeed returned to the original path.
However, everyone soon noticed that Jiang Yue's brows seemed to be furrowed tightly. He did not look as optimistic as Du Yifeng. Instead, he seemed preoccupied and seemed to have discovered something.
"Jiang Yue, what's wrong?"
"Look at these huge rocks." Jiang Yue said in a solemn tone.
Everyone came closer to watch. The boulder was still the same boulder. The boulder that had been scratched with moss and the incomprehensible words didn't look unusual, right?
"What happened to the boulders?" Xu Chunru was puzzled, "Aren't they just these boulders?"
"It's nine yuan in total. The amount is correct, right?"
The boulders are indeed the same boulders, and the number is indeed correct.
But Jiang Yue's keen observation ability revealed something unusual.
"The positions of these stones are wrong. The original arrangement of the stones was not like this. Moreover, the spacing between the stones has also changed somewhat."
Jiang Yue's tone was very certain, so certain that there was no doubt about it.
Du Yifeng said: "I took a photo."
As he said this, he took out his cell phone and opened the pile of photos he had taken of the boulder.
Most of the photos are close-ups, not many long-range shots, but there are at least two or three.
One of them has a particularly good angle, capturing the entirety of these boulders.
Find the angle from which the photo was taken and compare it with Du Yifeng.
"There seems to be something wrong."
Once you find the shooting spot, it will be much easier to compare the real scene with the photos.
Indeed, as Jiang Yue said, the positions of these stones have indeed moved, and their orientations to each other have actually changed quite a bit.
The strange thing is that the orientation of these huge rocks has changed so much, but there is no trace of movement at the scene. It looks like it was originally like this.
This is also the reason why most of them have not discovered it at all.
If such a large boulder were to be relocated, it would inevitably damage the lawn and lift up a lot of fresh soil, resulting in some traces of turning.
But there were no such traces at the scene.
how did you do that?
Du Yifeng couldn't help but snap at these boulders again.
Especially from the same angle, comparing the two photos before and after, you can clearly see the changes in the arrangement of the boulders.
Each of these boulders weighs at least several thousand kilograms, and some of them are submerged in the grass, as if growing out of the soil and blending into the grass.
Therefore, to move these huge rocks, it is impossible to complete such a huge project in such a short period of time without the help of machinery.
But how long had they been gone?
It is impossible for large machinery to enter.
And if the site was operated by large machinery, it would be impossible to be so perfect and not damaged at all? Not even an inch of loose soil could be found?
"Jiang Yue, come here and take a look." Xu Chunru suddenly shouted over there.
Everyone walked over quickly, and Xu Chunru pointed in the direction they had come from before, with an extremely frightened look on her face.
Previously, they walked through a patch of grass and came to the vicinity of these boulders.
But now the direction Xu Chunru was pointing to was a cluster of thick giant trees, each one as thick as two or three people hugging each other.
The trunk of the tree is wrapped with various weird-shaped rattans, like a long python entangled, which makes people feel scared just looking at it.
Where is this still the way we came from?
Where was the original road? Did it just disappear out of thin air? Did these giant trees grow out of thin air?
It was easy when you came, but there is no way back?
"Impossible! We obviously came from this direction!" Du Yifeng became a little anxious and rushed over to investigate around these giant trees.
After bypassing these giant trees, there is still a thick bush behind. The density is so high that there is no place to stay and no place to stay can be opened at all.
It was completely different from the situation when they came here originally.
But each of them clearly remembers that the location is this location and the direction is this direction.
They walked almost perpendicular to the stream. Along the way, they used engineering shovels to split a lot of vegetation and create a path.
But now that road seems to have mysteriously disappeared in front of everyone.
These giant trees, which did not exist before, seemed to have suddenly grown in just an hour.
There were indeed trees in this place before, but the density of the trees was by no means so high, and the size of the trees was far from so large.
The trees we saw earlier were only one-tenth of the size of these giant trees in terms of thickness.
Damn it!
Du Yifeng's mentality was a bit broken, so he shoveled it hard and hit a giant tree in front of him!
"Yifeng, pay attention!"
Before this blow fell on the giant tree, the vines wrapped around the giant tree bounced off the giant tree one by one, as if they were suddenly angered.
Swishing, swishing, countless vines were wrapped crazily around the engineer shovel, and two of them were directly wrapped around Du Yifeng's arms.
Du Yifeng only felt an irresistible force pulling hard, and his whole body was suspended in the air.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue saw the opportunity very quickly, flew up, and slashed down with a shovel.
Tsk!
Two crisp sounds were heard, and the rattan wrapped around Du Yifeng's arm broke apart.
Du Yifeng's body relaxed and he was freed from his restraints.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Jiang Yue dragged Du Yifeng into continuous ejections, flew out more than ten meters, and landed on the edge of the boulder.
The broken vine was like an intelligent creature, and the broken vine was waving wildly in the void, like an enraged python.
What is unbelievable is that during the wild dance, the broken end of the rattan slowly grew new tissue and rapidly lengthened. After a few shakes, it returned to its original shape.
Fortunately, there is a limit to the length of this rattan, and it can only swing around a distance of five or six meters around the giant tree. Although these rattans frantically tried to break free, they were ultimately out of reach.
The few people who witnessed this scene felt their feet weakening for a while. They leaned back involuntarily and hid behind the boulders, as far away as possible.
Bang bang bang!
Several crisp sounds came in succession.
"Squat down, lower your head!" Jiang Yue shouted hurriedly.
At the same time, he pushed Han Jingjing and Jiang Yue beside him to the ground.
Almost at the same time, countless metal fragments continued to shoot towards them.
Fortunately, there were boulders as shields. Most of the metal fragments were blocked by the boulders. A few shot through the gaps. Because they squatted down, they rubbed past and shot into the grass.
Xu Chunru and Yu Siyuan were originally farthest away, but at this time they were the luckiest and were not affected at all.
Han Jingjing and Du Yifeng's faces turned pale. They looked at the metal fragments shot into the grass with palpitations on their faces, only to realize that they had just escaped death again.
These fragments are clearly Du Yifeng's engineering shovel.
Having been swept away by those rattan stalks before, Du Yifeng was still thinking about how to get them back.
Who knew that these canes could be so violent that they smashed the engineers into pieces and even used them as hidden weapons?
"It's okay." Jiang Yue stood up slowly and looked across.
Those rattans didn't seem to be as vengeful as humans, and their anger didn't last long.
At this moment, they have reattached themselves to the giant tree, entangled naturally, and it is completely impossible to tell that they were so violent just ten seconds ago.
If it weren't for the metal fragments all over the floor, this scene would have been more like a dream.
However, in this dream, Du Yifeng walked through the gate of hell twice.
If Jiang Yue hadn't cut the cane to save him in the first time, the cane's collapse force would have shattered even the engineering shovel made of special materials, let alone Du Yifeng's mortal body, which would have definitely been shattered.
It was bloody and bloody, and exploded on the spot.
The second time, if Jiang Yue hadn't pulled him down and the metal fragments hit his head and penetrated him, it would have been like a large-caliber bullet penetrating him, and it would have ended in a headshot.
The threat came so suddenly, and it obviously irritated the nerves of several people.
Especially Du Yifeng, his mind was much clearer.
He, who was a little blindly confused before, was obviously much calmer now.
If he hadn't acted wildly and slashed at the giant tree just now, perhaps the series of events that followed would not have happened at all.
Jiang Yue didn't mean to blame him.
"Everyone should pay attention and try not to cause trouble. Fortunately, there were no casualties. It reminds us that it is not all bad." Jiang Yue could only comfort him.
