Before dawn, the stars in the sky dimmed, the whole world was dark, and Ye Xiaochuan also finished his work for the night.
After daybreak, he called all the fairies over, pointed to a small circle on the map that he had circled with charcoal, and said: "Through my stargazing last night..."
Fairy Liuyun immediately stretched out her head and said, "There is also me. I also helped a lot."
Ye Xiaochuan ignored her and continued: "I can confirm that our current approximate location should be in this area on the map."
The girls looked at the small circle drawn by Ye Xiaochuan on the map and couldn't help but frown.
Zuo Qiu said: "Although this circle is not big, its range is definitely more than three hundred miles in radius." Ye Xiaochuan said: "This is the limit of what I can do. If I want to be accurate to within thirty miles, I am still doing it.
Less than. The main reason is that the map is too simple and difficult to locate accurately. I heard that Wudumen has a more detailed map of Dead Lake, such as
If you use their map, you may be able to reduce the range to within a hundred miles." Fairy Liuyun said: "The diameter of the inner swamp is thousands of miles. It only took you a few hours to create it without any intervention.
It's amazing to be able to circle our approximate location with stargazing. Last night I looked at the astrolabe
I'm so dizzy that I can't see anything, but you're much better than me!"
There is no detailed map yet, but the area circled by Ye Xiaochuan is quite helpful to everyone now.
Everyone began to plan the route based on Ye Xiaochuan's positioning. With the general direction, it would be difficult for them to get lost in Neize. After the stars came out at night, Ye Xiaochuan would position it several times and get a more detailed position.
If you can find one or two specific mountain names and place names marked on the map on the road, you can accurately determine your location.
After a simple breakfast, the group started to set off.
At the same time, another group of people also started to set off. In the mountain forest less than a hundred miles away from the camp where Ye Xiaochuan and others camped last night, Princess Xiaoqi put away the Big Yong Cauldron, while the ghost girl put some small
The wood was stuffed into the storage bracelet. As for the roots obtained by the Black Water Black Snake, they were more than ten feet long.
Large logs dozens of feet long were left here.
Zhou Wu is now the lowest status among this group of people. The toxins in his body have just been removed and his body is still very weak. He is being commanded by two little girls to do what he wants.
Zhou Wu didn't have any complaints.
After learning that the fat monk's appearance was the famous Hua Monk in the world, and that the ghost girl was the biological daughter of the evil god and the ghost fairy, he felt that his luck might be as outrageous as Ye Xiaochuan and others said.
Even though he is doing menial and backbreaking work now, other cultivators, including those big guys, would definitely be very envious of him if they saw this scene.
Not everyone has the opportunity to serve Monk Hua An, and now Zhou Wu has this opportunity.
The black water black snake is not here. After eating and drinking last night, it left. I don’t know where it went.
After packing up their things in the early morning, Monk Hua and the other four people left the campsite.
They had no intention of leaving Death Lake, but headed towards the inner center of Death Lake.
There is no other reason. I learned from Zhou Wu last night that this time Ye Xiaochuan, Yun Qiyou, and that girl Axiang all entered the Death Swamp, and Zhou Wu had been separated from them for less than two days.
According to Zhou Wu's guess, Ye Xiaochuan and the others would definitely go to the ruins of the ancient sacred tree in the center of Neize, so early in the morning before dawn, the ghost girl urged everyone to get on the road quickly.
At noon, Ye Xiaochuan and a group of people came to a large open space in the forest. This large open space was obviously not created by wild animals, but by humans.
The trees and weeds on the ground in a radius of several hundred feet have been cleared away. There are more than ten huge logs piled up on the north side of the clearing, and there is a huge ash ruin in the center of the clearing.
The group of people landed on the open space and looked around.
Fairy Liuyun walked to the ashes, looked at the green smoke that was constantly rising from the ashes, and said: "The inside is not completely burned yet. It seems that they have just left. It will definitely not be more than an hour."
Zuo Qiu said: "Isn't this pile of ashes a bit big? This is definitely not a bonfire. It seems like someone is burning a big tree here. The remaining huge logs over there are probably all left unburned."
Qin Lan said: "Using such a big piece of wood to light a fire, is it to warn? Or to ask for help? It's like a beacon tower at the border?" Zuo Qiu said: "That's probably not the case. Those who can enter the inner lake are all masters of cultivation. There is no need to use beacon fire.
Come and ask for help. Look at the areas that have been cleared around you. This is not just a day or two. It looks like it has been there for at least ten days and a half, or even
Longer." Fairy Liuyun said: "I agree with your statement. If he is asking for help, then this person must be seriously injured. But each of those big logs weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. Since he can lift such a heavy log
If they were dragged here and piled up, they would definitely not be injured.
, there is no need to ask for help. Xiaochuan, what do you think... Xiaochuan? What are you doing?"
Ye Xiaochuan did not participate in the Ashes discussion group. He was squatting next to Ashes, gesturing at a big pit with his hand.
Then he stood up again and walked to another big pit not far away.
After his observation, there were three large pits around the ashes of the fire, the same distance apart, surrounding the edge of the ashes. Each large pit was in the shape of a cylinder, with a diameter of eight feet and a depth of four feet.
Everyone walked up to him, and Qin Lan said: "Master Ye, why are you studying these big pits? Did you find something?"
Ye Xiaochuan stood up, shook his head slightly, and said: "No, I just think the three big pits are a bit strange."
At this time, Axiang's voice sounded from the wood pile to the north, saying: "There are many beast skins here!"
After hearing this, everyone walked over and found at least four complete beast skins.
It is not accurate to say that it is the skin of a wild animal. It should be said that it is the skin of a giant animal, which is a giant beast similar to a yak. It is estimated that the size of each animal skin will not be less than two feet when it is alive.
Everyone spread out the beast skin and found that it had been peeled off with a sharp knife and it was very complete.
In addition, many gnawed meat bones were also found. There were old and new ones. It is estimated that someone lived here for a long time.
Ye Xiaochuan touched his chin and murmured: "Big wood, beast skins, meat bones, three large pits arranged neatly and at the same distance, piles of burning ashes...could it be...definitely..." At this moment, Ye Xiaochuan
Xiaochuan's heart was filled with joy, and he said to himself secretly: "It's really hard to find a place after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here. No wonder I can't find you in the middle-earth, it turns out that you have been hiding in the Death Swamp."
