He clearly remembered that he was walking straight forward without turning at all. It stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible to go around on such a route.
Raising his eyebrows, Lin Yang asked in a low voice: "Little lady, are you sure we have circled back? The trees in this jungle are all the same. And every now and then, arrow patterns drawn by black snakes will appear. Can you
Just because the surrounding environment is similar, we cannot suspect that we have returned to the same place just now...
"I'm sure and sure." The shock on Zhou Liang's face was no less than that of Lin Yang. He pointed sideways at a tree behind him and whispered: "Third brother, on that tree, I saw the knife I threw earlier.
The knife mark left when I chopped down the black snake. Even those black snakes are so incredible that they can even imitate the knife mark. But under the knife mark, there are also the footprints left when I drew the sword... Black
No matter how powerful a snake is, no matter how smart it is, it has no feet, so it can't possibly imitate my footprints so perfectly, right?"
"Did we really come back?" Seeing Zhou Liang's vow, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
He decided to go over and see what was happening on the tree in person.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang immediately waved to Liu Xiangcheng who was behind him and ordered: "Boss, please come over and lead the team forward for me. This little lady wants to pee but is afraid to go alone, so she insists on pulling me with her.
Embolden him... we will come after you after we finish urinating."
Liu Xiangcheng's expression condensed. He could tell from Lin Yang's words that something was not quite right.
But at this time, he didn't ask any more questions, but nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will take your place, you two go back quickly. Really, we have to pee together, if those rotten girls see it
, we still have to suspect that there is a homosexual relationship between the two of you?"
His joke made everyone in the team laugh.
Diao Nina even joked: "You two, hurry up and do it, we won't stop and wait for you."
The laughter suddenly became louder.
In this gloomy and depressing environment, a joke can really relieve a lot of stress.
After handing Xi Mengyao, who was still unconscious, to Liu Xiangcheng, Lin Yang followed Zhou Liang and quickly walked to the tree at the back.
Sure enough, on this tree, there was not only a knife mark, but also a footprint - looking at the size of the footprint and the pattern of the sole, it was exactly the same as the hiking boots Zhou Liang was wearing.
After walking for more than half an hour, the team actually circled back again.
"Why is this happening, little lady? Did I ever turn a corner when I was leading the way?" Seeing this scene, Lin Yang couldn't help but start to wonder if he was walking in a straight line just now.
"I don't remember clearly." Zhou Liang shook his head and said, "However, when we were driving in this dark jungle with similar surroundings, even if we went in a different direction, we turned a corner unknowingly.
, isn’t that surprising?”
Lin Yang didn't speak. He didn't really agree with the explanation given by Zhou Liang.
After a brief reflection, Lin Yang said: "We continue to move forward. This time, in addition to being at the end of the team, you also have to pay attention to my path. Once I take a side road or turn a corner, you will be there."
Let me know as soon as possible. I believe that as you are walking at the end of the team, as long as you pay attention, you will definitely be able to have a clear view of the team's route."
"No problem." Zhou Liang nodded immediately and agreed without any hesitation.
At this time, they can only adopt this method that is not a method.
After returning to the team, Zhou Liang naturally walked at the end. Lin Yang took Xi Mengyao and the flashlight from Liu Xiangcheng's hand.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiangcheng asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Lin Yang did not hide anything from him, and quickly told him what Zhou Liang had discovered, and finally told him: "While you are in the team, you should also pay attention to my route. If you feel there is any problem or abnormality, report it immediately."
notice me"
"I understand." Liu Xiangcheng nodded. He also couldn't understand why the team that had been moving forward would circle back to the place they had passed.
Lin Yang took the lead again, taking every step carefully.
Liu Xiangcheng, who is in the team, and Zhou Liang, who is at the end of the team, are also highly focused. They are not only observing the direction of the team's march, but also observing whether the team has deformed... The team advancing in a long snake formation, as long as it appears.
The signs of bending were enough to indicate that Lin Yang, who was at the head of the queue, had gone astray.
With Lin Yang, Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang paying close attention, the team walked for nearly half an hour.
This time, without Zhou Liang's reminder, Lin Yang used the light from the flashlight to see the knife mark and footprints left on a tree in front of him...
They actually came back to this place again
Lin Yang did not speak, but looked back at Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang.
These two people had obviously seen what was happening on the tree. Their expressions were very ugly at this moment. Seeing Lin Yang's questioning look, they both shook their heads.
The meaning is obvious. They didn't see any sign of Lin Yang deviating from the route.
But without deviating from the route, the team returned to the same place again and again...
This thing is really weird and creepy.
Lin Yang knew that if they couldn't find out the reason, they would probably keep running in circles. In the end, let alone walking out of this jungle, in all likelihood, everyone would die of exhaustion, starvation, or even death.
I was so scared that I kept spinning in circles.
However, Lin Yang did not immediately let the team stop and rest. Instead, he led the team forward. After walking a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, he stopped and said to those behind him who did not know the truth: "
After walking for so long, everyone must be tired, right? Let’s stop for a while and take a breath before we go.”
By resting in this place, they are not afraid that people will find that they have been walking in circles.
At this time, only confidentiality can maintain the stability of the team.
Everyone was really tired from walking, so they didn't raise any objections and sat on the ground to rest.
Tao Lin, who was sitting on the ground, took off her shoes and pinched her feet, asked: "Lin Yang, we have been walking for almost an hour or two, right? How long will it take before we can get out of this jungle?"
Not only she, but everyone wants to know this question.
Lin Yang naturally couldn't tell them that they were actually walking in circles for more than an hour, so he could only tell a white lie: "I don't know how long it will take. After all, the road we are taking now is not as good as when I came here."
It's not the same road. But I believe that we can walk out in a few hours at most.
Everyone nodded in unison, feeling a little bit of hope.
Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang came to Lin Yang's side at this time.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Zhou Liang whispered: "Third brother, I can confirm that you walked in a straight line from beginning to end and did not turn a corner."
"I didn't see you turn a corner either." Liu Xiangcheng frowned, looking confused: "It's strange, since you didn't turn a corner, why did we come back to this place twice in a row?"
"We...could we have hit a ghost wall?" Zhou Liang suddenly trembled.
The so-called ghost hitting the wall refers to a state in which when walking at night or in the suburbs, you can't tell the direction, have a vague self-perception, are confused and don't know where to go, and always keep spinning in circles... However, Lin Yang is very
It’s clear that the experience they encountered was not some kind of trick.
Yes, the ghost wall can indeed trap people in circles, but it cannot trap ghosts. But just now, the two ghosts Chen Shiwen and Lu Xiying have been following him in circles...
Although it was not a ghost attack, Zhou Liang's guess gave him a wake-up call.
As early as when he found the black snake wrapped around the tree with an arrow pattern drawn on its tail, Lin Yang noticed that the surrounding woods were filled with a faint aura of death.
Before, he always thought that this deathly aura came from the black snake hiding in the darkness around him.
But now it seems that things may not be as simple as he thought.
"Lin Yang, this forest is not simple, I'm afraid it's a Feng Shui puzzle."
After Chen Shiwen carefully explored the surroundings, he returned to Lin Yang and gave his own judgment.
"I wonder if you have noticed one thing. The trees around us are completely different from the fir trees we encountered when we first entered the jungle. These trees are not the common red pine, spruce and spruce trees in Jiulong Valley.
Fragrant trees, but... locust trees, all of them are locust trees. Apart from this, there are no other plants, not even a weed."
"Locust tree?" Lin Yang raised his eyebrows, walked quickly to the nearest trees, and observed them carefully.
Yes, these trees are indeed locust trees
Because of the hazy light, he had never noticed before that the trees here were completely different from the trees he encountered when he first entered the jungle.
Sophora japonica means a ghost next to the character "wood". From the structure of the character, we can see that this locust tree is a tree with a strong yin energy and can easily attract ghosts and evil spirits.
Logically speaking, there should be no locust trees in Jiulong Valley. What's more, it is a solitary locust tree in a jungle.
There is no doubt that this locust tree forest must have been planted by humans. But I don’t know how large it is. I don’t even know what the purpose of the people who planted this locust tree forest is...
The only thing that is certain is that this locust forest has a maze-like effect.
The experience of these people constantly walking in circles in the locust forest is the most powerful evidence of this matter.
Although Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang couldn't see the two ghosts floating next to Lin Yang, they noticed something strange from Lin Yang's series of weird actions. They hurriedly pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Lao San (
Third brother), have you discovered anything?"
Lin Yang nodded and told the truth: "We... are just afraid that we have fallen into a Feng Shui maze."
